The only New Year's tradition I can think of that my family had when i was growing up was eating black-eyed peas and cornbread on New Year's day. Here in the South, that's considered good luck.

People have shared their lives with pet ferrets for thousands of years. This small member of the weasel family endears itself to owners with its fun-loving personality and silly antics. But ferrets have a serious side, too, and have helped people with various tasks, including rabbit hunting and laying electrical wires.
Today's pet ferret provides companionship and often a bit of mischief for ferret owners. Ferrets are known for getting into places they shouldn't, probably because of their intelligence and amazing, limber ferret anatomy. Ferrets are also known to be thieves that enjoy nothing more than stealing an insole, hiding a pen or running off with keys.
Pet ferrets are mammals like cats and dogs and, although they have some similarities to these other pets (like requiring a rabies vaccination), ferrets have very specific needs unique to their species.
Only one species of ferret is kept as a pet. It descended from European ancestors, and its scientific name isMustela furo. Pet ferrets are available in various coat colors and patterns within the species. Note: Theblack-footed ferret is a wild cousin of the pet ferret, but the two should not be confused. Black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) are the only ferret native to North America and have never been domesticated. In fact, black-footed ferrets are fighting their way back from near extinction.
Why is your ferret biting your ankles? What's that dooking noise? What's the best way to introduce a new ferret to other ferrets in the household? Is it really possible to litter train ferrets?
If you've got a behavior question about ferrets (nothing medical, please), then you've come to the right place. L. Vanessa Gruden, our SmallAnimalChannel ferret expert, is executive director of the Ferret Association of Connecticut. She has owned ferrets since about 1985 and operated the FACT shelter since 1991, personally caring for more than 1,600 ferrets during that time.
Ask L. Vanessa Gruden a question about your ferrets now!
See Past Ferret Question Answers

People have probably been trying to figure out ferret behavior since ferrets began being kept as pets a couple thousand years ago. Although pet ferrets are domesticated, much of their current behavior can be traced back to wild ancestors. Digging at the carpeting by a doorway? That might be because their wild ancestors lived in burrows. It might also be because the ferret is a very curious animal and wants to know what's on the other side of the door!
Although some ferret behavior can be explained by instincts, domestication has changed other aspects of ferret behavior, at least for most ferrets. Today's pet ferrets usually enjoy the company of other ferrets, something their wild ancestors outgrow when they reach adulthood. And although wild polecats, mink and other members of the weasel family are strong predators, pet ferrets seem to have lost the ability to hunt or survive in the wild.
So why does your ferret do what it's doing? Our ferret behavior section gives you tips about ferret litter training, bite inhibition, ferret personalities, training, digging and more. You'll wonder no more.
Click here to find more information about ferret behavior.
Where will you keep your ferret? Aside from wondering what to feed, the question of ferret housing is one of the most basic for ferret owners. Ferret habitats are what you make of them, with options including free-roam of a ferret-proofed room, a playpen and a roomy cage with lots of supervised out-of-cage playtime.
Unlike a dog or cat, ferrets can't be allowed free roam of an entire house. It's possible, but it would require constant ferret-proofing and no access to dangerous areas like a kitchen or laundry room or a child's bedroom (for their safety and the ferret's, young children should never be unsupervised around ferrets) . The problem is that ferrets are quite curious, delight in exploring and can fit into very small spaces; all of which can add up to disaster if a ferret gets caught in a reclining chair, fireplace, in a wall or worse.
Many ferret owners choose to provide one ferret-proofed room that their ferret can roam freely, either all day or during playtime. A roomy cage is another great option. Many ferret owners keep their ferret in a roomy cage when it can't be supervised, usually during the day when the owner is away, and the ferret has playtime for several hours during the day when the owner is around to supervise.
But housing isn't all about caging, it's also about those all-important accessories, such as toys, bedding, bowls, litter boxes and more. Check out the latest ferret housing trends and get tips on keeping your ferret's home clean and safe.
Click here for articles on ferret housing and caring for your ferret's environment.
All small animal pets are not created equal. Each seems to be prone to different ailments. Most ferret owners soon find out about adrenal gland disease, insulinoma, GI blockages, ECE and other common ferret ailments.
Like cats and dogs, ferrets can be vaccinated. A rabies vaccination is usually required by law in most areas of the United States, but a canine distemper vaccination can be done at the discretion of the owner after weighing the pros and cons.
Unlike cats and dogs, ferrets can catch the flu from people and vice versa. Also unlike cats and dogs, some ailments that are bad news for those pets aren't so bad for ferrets. Mast cell tumors are one example, as these are usually benign in ferrets.
The differences in ferret health concerns and ferret treatments make it important for ferret owners to find a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about treating ferrets.

Did you know that ferrets are obligate carnivores? This means they require a diet high in animal protein. Their digestive systems don't absorb any nutrients from plants. Fat content should also be high.
Ferrets can also be picky eaters. That's because they imprint on food within the first four months of life; after that, any food item introduced might not be recognized as food.
How often to feed ferrets is a subject of debate. Ferrets have a short digestive-tract transit time of four hours, so many ferret owners leave a bowl of ferret food available for their pet at all times.
Although fruits and vegetables are healthy food items for people, these are unnecessary in a ferret's diet. As mentioned before, ferrets don't have the ability to absorb nutrients from fruits or vegetables.
For more tips about what, how and when to feed ferrets, check out the articles on ferret nutrition.
Life with a pet ferret is both fun and challenging. From training to play to sewing for a bed for your ferret or joining in the ferret community, being a ferret owner opens a whole new world.
Can you train ferrets to do tricks? In the case of coming when called, such a "trick" can sometimes save a ferret's life. Should an emergency like a fire occur, ferrets need to be found quickly.
Everyone thinks of ferret playtime, and we've got tips on toys, games and more. But have you ever thought about baking a cake in the shape of a ferret or making a ferret puppet? These, too, are part of ferret life, if you wish.
Another part of ferret life is participating in the ferret community, whether by joining a ferret club, helping out a ferret shelter, educating others about ferrets, going to ferret shows or more.
Yes, there are ferret shows. And these are fun events whether it's a conformation show or a fun show. It's a time for ferret owners and enthusiasts to get together to "ooh" and "aah" over cute ferrets, talk about ferrets and check out cool ferret products.

Would Rowand fit in with Cubs?
By Paul Sullivan
SAN FRANCISCO -- Former White Sox centerfielder Aaron Rowand signed a five-year, $60 million deal with the Giants in 2008, but he's already on the outs here.
Rowand is hitting .223 in the second half, and was moved down to the No. 8 spot in the lineup by manager Bruce Bochy on Thursday night. Overall, he's hitting .264 with 15 home runs and 63 RBIs.
Would the Cubs be interested in a deal centered around Rowand and Milton Bradley? General manager Jim Hendry was talking with Giants GM Brian Sabean before the game and while they are old friends from their days in the Cape Cod League, the conversation reportedly did not involve any Bradley trade talk.
But both GMs are motivated sellers, and a Rowand-Bradley deal would not be out of the realm of possibility. Rowand has three years and $36 million left on his contract, while Bradley has $21 million and two years left on his deal. Obviously more players would have to be involved, unless the Giants were willing to pay around half of the $15 million difference in the contracts.
Rowand hit .309 with 27 home runs and 89 RBIs with Philadelphia in 2007, so it's hard to believe he's cooked already. But it's a bad fit for him in spacious AT&T Park, and Rowand could be revived in his favorite city, perhaps even reunited with his old friend, Reed Johnson, who is a free agent.
It's just one of many scenarios that will be speculated about as the Bradley Watch moves into high gear after the season next week.
In other news, Derrek Lee may sit out tonight's game after experiencing neck spasms on his slide into second base during a ninth inning steal last night. Compounding the problem was the fact that Lee got slapped in the head by Angel Guzman, who was congratulating Lee after he returned to the dugout on Jeff Baker's game-winning two-run home run.
"As he came in, somebody tapped him on the head to congratulate him for scoring a run," manager Lou Piniella said with a laugh. "I don't think that helped the situation either. We'll see how he is (Friday)."
Lee will probably want to play, but at this point of the season it's pointless to put him out there with a neck problems. Tonight's match-up is the best of the series- Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum vs. Carlos Zambrano.

During his 22 years in Congress Representative Henry J. Hyde (R-Ill.) was among the most prominent Catholics in American political life. In 2003 America published his reflections on "Doctrinal Note on Some Questions Regarding the Participation of Catholics in Political Life," which was released by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in late 2002:
Perhaps the most important thing the doctrinal note does is to remind all of us, irrespective of party or political philosophy, that democracy is not a machine that can run by itself. Democracy is not a matter of simply getting the procedure of government—legislative, executive, judicial—right. Democracy is more than a matter of procedures, and democracy requires more of us than procedural imagination and finesse....
The great divide in American public life today is not so much between left and right or between political parties. It is between those who think of democracy merely as an ensemble of procedures and those who think of democracy as a matter of substance—an ongoing experiment in a people's capacity to be self-governing. By demonstrating how the substantive understanding of democracy arises, not from sectarian or confessional presuppositions, but from the moral law written on the human heart, the doctrinal note makes a genuine contribution to the reflections of all thoughtful Americans.
For too long in our national history, the question—sometimes cruelly overt, sometimes subtle—was, "Is Catholicism compatible with democracy?" As the doctrinal note makes clear, the real question is, "Can democracy long endure if it ignores the truth about the human person?" That is a publicly accessible truth, and Catholics in America should be grateful and proud that their church proposes that truth, in and out of season, in American public life.

Why do the girls in the picture at left have blurred out faces? It's because they're teenagers, in case their barely-there mini dresses, blown out hair, high heels, and PRESENCE AT A NEW YORK NIGHTCLUB led you to believe otherwise.
Kids these days, eh? In my day, a killer sweet sixteen meant your mom tracking down the guy who DJ'd that one kid's bar mitzvah and played The Electric Slide an appropriate amount of times. These days, New York City kids are demanding a rented out nightclub, a stripper or two, a star of a prime time television show (in this case, little Mark Indelicato from Ugly Betty), a DJ who does, like, REAL parties, and of course, a photographer to document the whole thing.
It's no joke when people say that city kids are different. The parties we've seen for the under 18 set as of late make MTV's Sweet Sixteen series seem dated, and any party Blair Waldorf has hosted in her UES apartment seem lame. NYC Prep's Camille threw a party that made headlines, and little Serena Bancroft, still only 13, is poised to throw some pretty elaborate parties herself. (If anyone is capable of renting The Boom Boom Room for a 15th birthday party, it's Serena.) Good luck keeping up with that, you unfortunate teens forced to survive adolescence in other parts of the country.
There is however, one ray of light in all this, one shining beacon of commonality:
No matter how cool of a teen you are, you're never immune to having completely embarrassing parents.

Last December, when the smart money was on Howard Dean for the Democratic nomination, when long-shot bettors were talking about Al Sharpton pulling a surprise in the South Carolina primary, when nobody but the Democratic leadership believed John Kerry was "electable," Jesse Jackson was working the South as if a campaign depended on it. At South Carolina State, children with American flags and grown-ups in their Sunday clothes were waiting on him, while the pep band played and a clutch of aides talked into their cellphones. Jackson was late, traveling from a rally in Goose Creek, where police had raided a high school, forcing 107 kids to their knees, guns to their head, in a search for drugs that turned up nothing. Blacks make up less than a quarter of the student body, Jackson explained after finally bounding onstage, but accounted for two-thirds of those terrorized in the raid. Blacks make up 30 percent of South Carolina's population, but account for 70 percent of its prisoners, who build auto transmissions while real-paying jobs drain away. Twenty years after his first run for the Democratic nomination, Jackson was in his natal state speaking truths on the rigged rules of race and class that the candidates couldn't or wouldn't, while stressing the imperative of an engaged citizenry. "Keep hope alive!" he urged yet again, and amid an exuberance of cheers there was something in the sullen silence of a row of teenagers that told the difference between the then and now. Jackson mightn't have noticed. In a flash he was off–to a school, to a preachers' lunch, cellphones a'ringing in the borrowed limo, on to Raleigh and thence to Birmingham, "mobilizing the masses," as he put it.
Nobody else was going to do it. For all the candidates' talk about grassroots power, nobody even tried. Explanations abound: the hurry-up primary schedule, the Dean campaign's failure to translate its grassroots fundraising strategy into an investment strategy for indigenous organization; the flimflam of the Sharpton campaign (or "scampaign," as one black South Carolina woman dubbed it) fueled by white Republican dirty-trickster Roger Stone; the relative poverty of the Kucinich camp and its tactical decision to bypass the South, hence African-Americans; the laurel of inevitability conferred upon Kerry after Iowa. But the political culture that ordered those choices owes to something older, deeper: to 1984, when Jackson launched a grassroots campaign the likes of which the country had never seen; and to the two roads that diverged out of the ultimate wreckage of that year's general election. One was marked "Rainbow Coalition," the other "The Backlash." The former would launch another presidential campaign in 1988, the most formidable internal party challenge in modern times; the latter would constitute itself as the Democratic Leadership Council, a different kind of internal challenge, one hostile to the grassroots (it favored the term "special interests") and determined to make the party safe, or safer, for white men. We live with the legacy of both efforts, and in a sense both coil back to Jackson. In the American dialectic of race, power and politics, the "legacy" of a black-led, left-leaning, populist challenge would never be a simple thing; if the side of the people was emboldened, so were the tribunes of what Jackson once called "the cash system dominated by white men." If Jackson projected a vision and provided an example of a new kind of movement engagement in electoral politics, the failure to motor that forward must not be his alone. The vital questions on this anniversary, therefore, cannot be contained within the parenthesis of Jackson's personal leaps and limitations. How did progressive forces discharge their responsibilities? How did the Democratic Party respond to the invitation of history? What was gained, and what remains lacking?
Those who did not live in 1984 and 1988 cannot know how sweet a national electoral campaign season can be. Not sweet in the ordinary sense, for there was abundant ugliness, but in that sense where ossification gives way to possibility, where something new appears on the scene that seems to rearrange the pieces on the playing table. It was Reagan time, and Democrats were in retreat. Jackson says now that he never had a mind to run for President, but then the leading Democratic liberals did something that had to be answered. Harold Washington was running for mayor of Chicago in 1983, and though his organization was distinct from Jackson's, when news came that Ted Kennedy and Walter Mondale were coming to back Washington's opponents, as Jackson tells it, "We thought, This couldn't be true; these are our guys. So we got together about a hundred black leaders saying, Please don't come. Please respect our alliance. And they came anyway."

Epping boy wondering 'Where's the beef' after his new steer runs awayBY JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 22. 2013 9:38PM
EPPING - Ryan Hoelzel has spent months saving his money. He didn't want a new iPod, video game or other high-tech gadget. The 9-year-old Epping boy wanted a steer to enter in 4-H shows at upcoming fairs.
Ryan was thrilled last Sunday when the 1-year-old Belted Galloway yearling he bought with his own money finally arrived at his family's small farm on Fremont Road.
But the excitement turned to panic when the steer was unloaded from a trailer by a friend, became spooked and bolted.
The steer that Ryan planned to name Panda never made it into the family's fenced-in field and has been on the loose ever since.
"I was thinking it was all my fault," Ryan said Wednesday when he arrived home from school, hoping the steer had found its way back.
Dozens of family members, friends and neighbors have done their best to hunt for the wayward steer. It's been spotted a few times, but no one's been able to catch it, even though it has a halter and rope hanging from its neck.
"That calf just took off and he just ran," said Ryan's grandmother, Judy Sanborn, who lives next door on the family's farm and fears the animal could end up on busy Route 101 or Route 125.
Police have also been called in to help. The most recent sighting came Tuesday night when a Rockingham County sheriff's deputy saw the steer on the Rockingham Recreation Trail, not too far from Ryan's home in the area of Fremont and Jenness roads. The deputy wasn't able to catch it either.
On Monday night, Ryan noticed the steer from his bedroom window. He saw it walking in the hayfield behind his house. The steer headed toward his cousin's house, but the family had no luck retrieving it.
"It's so frustrating. We were so close," said Ryan's mother, Mary.
Ryan began saving up for the steer last year after he showed a dairy cow named Emma at the Deerfield Fair. Ryan borrowed that cow from another farm, but he decided he wanted his own to show at fairs this year in Deerfield, Hopkinton and Stratham.
Ryan saved up $350 for the yearling, which is black with a white belt around its mid-section.
He used every dollar he earned and collected for his birthday, Christmas and other occasions.
Ryan got a deal on the calf from a farm in Dover.
"The guy was nice. Because I was a 4-Her, he gave it to me for $350," Ryan said, adding that it would normally cost more.
Ryan is facing a June 1 deadline to enter his steer in 4-H for this year's beef cattle shows.
If the steer is found, Ryan isn't so sure he'll be able to keep it because it may be too big for him to handle. His mother said he would probably be better off with a younger one, maybe about 4 months old.
But Ryan hopes the steer returns so he can get his money back and use it to purchase a smaller one.
"He's out the cow and out the money," his mother said.
If he's not able to enter fairs this year, Ryan said he'll probably just help out his friends when they show their animals and try again next year.
Anyone with information on the steer's whereabouts is asked to call the Epping Police Department at 679-5122 or Mary Hoelzel at 235-6113.

Leaders of the Crosstown Development Project talked this month with The Memphis News editorial board about their plans for the adaptive reuse of the 1.5 million-square-foot, circa-1927 Sears Crosstown building.
The conversation comes as the group is seeking $15 million in city government funding for what is a $175 million project with an impact in the surrounding area dominated by the building.
Those involved in the conversation were Todd Richardson, project leader; McLean Wilson, vice president of Kemmons Wilson Co.; Doug Carpenter of doug carpenter & associates; David Montague, director of Memphis Teacher Residency; longtime redevelopment consultant Tony Bologna; and Ann Langston, director of the Church Health Center.
TMN: So you've got 600,000 square feet leased?
McLEAN WILSON: There's approximately 300,000 left in rough numbers. Half of it is residential, market rate apartments that really won't be able to be leased up much closer to opening time. Retail lags in the process. Six months or 12 months before we open is when we think we will generate most of the retail interest.
TMN: In the final vision of this, does the whole building remain? What would be demolished with funding from the city.?
TONY BOLOGNA: It's cutting light wells down through the building. They are some light wells. There are about eight of them going through the building.
WILSON: Right now there is a section on the north part of the building that will come down. It's the old mechanical plant. The two-story section, the latest one in 1965 -- that probably will not be demolished. It's in the worst shape of the building.
TMN: David, what is your role in this?
DAVID MONTAGUE: The building does a couple of things for us. We're hoping to grow. So we need to go somewhere. The culture of the building is very much the culture of what we're trying to do. … We're trying to renovate, if you will, an education system that's been failing for far too long. … There is a real "cool factor" to the building. It's really very helpful to have something cool that people want to be a part of.
TMN: How many square feet will Memphis Teacher Residency have in the Crosstown building?
MONTAGUE: We've got two pieces to it. One is our staff office and training space. The other piece is the residential piece. That's about 20,000 to 25,000 square feet for staff office and training space. And then we provide housing for all of our residents. Right now they all live in the Georgian Woods apartments. They will then move and live in the apartments in the building.
TODD RICHARDSON: It's one of the best recruiters to Memphis that we have because they come for a year for training. But then they have to commit to teaching for three years in Memphis urban schools. You are guaranteeing that these smart, young recent grads are coming from all over the country. And they are staying here for four years. Well, by then we've got them, right?
MONTAGUE: Our first group of residents are now completing their four year commitment. It looks like more than 75 percent of them are going to stay.
TMN: Will there be classrooms. Will there be a charter school there?
RICHARDSON: Separate from MTR. Gestalt Community Schools, they are starting and operating a Crosstown school for arts and sciences 9-12th grade. About 500 students at capacity. They operate three schools now. August of 2016 will be the first school year. Gestalt, of all of us, is the one that is doubling down on this project already. They started a middle school at Gordon (Elementary) and they are moving already into the neighborhood. The idea is to have some elementary schools to feed into the high school.
TMN: Ann, what is the perspective of Church Health Center?
ANN LANGSTON: We have been searching for a number of years on how we could consolidate, hopefully in one place, never dreaming we would be so fortunate as to be under one roof. We are now in 12 different physical buildings. We can improve a lot. … We found the benefit of creating community as part of the healing process regardless of what may be ailing somebody so to speak. Everything the Church Health Center does now in wellness, medical and outreach will be under one roof at Crosstown. But in addition to that, something we don't do now is offer residential. … We have 20-25 young people that have graduated from college at the top of their class. They want to go into professional schools usually related to medicine. They come and spend a year with us and go to medical school. We've never had the opportunity to let those folks live together. We've certainly never had an opportunity to let them live in communities with smart educators and artists and others that are of the same enthusiasm change the world kind of mentality.
TMN: So far, what real resistance have you had to this -- skepticism? Tony, you've seen that kind of skepticism with your other endeavors in Downtown in the 1970s in particular. How does that compare to what you encountered with Crosstown?
BOLOGNA: It was probably higher skepticism on this because it's so big. This thing is huge. Everybody said how are you going to find a tenant to fill that building? Well, that's not what we were trying to do. We knew we couldn't do that. We weren't going to find a single tenant or even two big tenants to fill the building. That's when the whole process of the vertical urban village came in bringing the neighborhood from a horizontal neighborhood to a vertical neighborhood. … The skepticism was there and you could understand it. A lot of times people announce projects early on and they don't come to fruition. We chose not to do that. We chose to sit under the radar until we had a good solid base of information to put out.
TMN: When you are looking for financing, do you pitch it the way you do any commercial space? The bank on the other side of the table, do they care about this sense of community and the urban village and synergies or do they just care about the price per square foot and construction?
WILSON: It's both. There is a story to be told. This building has a past, present and future. … No debt provider wants a project that is not going to be sustainable. The sustainability is really the story of the founding partners and the story of the community – what is going into it and what's going to happen to the neighborhood and the community surrounding it.
TMN: What's the environment in terms of getting financing.
WILSON: Our capital structure will be 50 percent debt to cost and I think that is a pretty good capital structure for a lender to put debt into a project like this. We're in that early process of putting our story out there and seeing what debt providers surface. We're encouraged in terms of what we've received in terms of early feedback.
TMN: The fact that one of the first name organizations was Crosstown Arts – you had people saying that's great but you've got a million square feet and how are you going to pay for that. Was that part of the initial skepticism when it seemed like it was going to be exclusively arts?
RICHARDSON: It never was going to be enough to put a bunch of smart people in a room to come up with an idea for that building. Crosstown Arts was formed in 2010 to be supportive of the arts and music scene in Memphis but to do it in Crosstown and bring people back to Crosstown. Crosstown had kind of fallen off the mental map. The neighborhood had been kind of forgotten. … We had our first event in May of 2010 with 60 people. Last November, 10,000 people were at MEMfix. In the course of almost three years, 15,000 people have come to Crosstown that wouldn't have come there otherwise. There's real intention on our part to do community building, bringing people back to Crosstown, as well as redeveloping a building.
BOLOGNA: If we had tried to deal with everybody thinking it was going to be an artists' colony, we would have been on the defensive. When we were ready to come out, it dispelled on its own.
WILSON: There is the challenge some people have of seeing beyond what is in front of their face – in this case what has been in front of their face since 1993 – an empty building in a location that has not seen a lot of things in a long time.
CARPENTER: I remember the very first conversation we had was, "We don't want anybody involved who doesn't believe we can make this happen." … We haven't spent time and gotten distracted about negative things. We have gone and told people what we are doing and why we are doing it. If they get it, then we get serious and we go forward.
TMN: What is next and what is your feeling about what the city will do?
WILSON: The building was built to be a distribution center and they bought a 16-acre site that was developed to support distribution. Now we're talking about transforming that abandoned distribution center into a whole new neighborhood. You can imagine on a 16- acre site there is a lot of infrastructure from sewer to flood mitigation to reconnecting streets to lighting that are necessary to make this vertical urban village happen. … We're doing our part with the building. The founding partners are doing their part as tenants. Now we need the city to do their part in terms of infrastructure as well. That's our hope, anyway.
TMN: Do you worry that this is just a shifting of people and dollars?
RICHARDSON: There will be 1,300 jobs in the building and 875 of those jobs are net and new. Yes, there is some relocating of resources whether that's jobs or whatever. But 60 percent of it is net new.
The idea that while metropolitan Memphis has lost population, according to the 2010 census, the Midtown and downtown zip code census tracts have actually increased by eight percent. And a large portion of that eight percent is ages 18 to 35. So we're building on that momentum.
WILSON: Which is why we were so shocked when we started having these events at the response. We were asking people to come to an abandoned building that has been empty for 20 years … and 300 people pay $25 a ticket to go to a dinner where paint chips are falling from the walls. … and it sells out six weeks in advance.
TMN: Why should the city support this? The city has limited funds.
RICHARDSON: The thing that differentiates this from other projects – Bass Pro Shops, Overton Square, Cooper-Young – it is not retail based. This is 70 percent pre-leased of people who are going to be there everyday because they have to be there.

Penske to test Allmendinger in an IndyCar
Penske Racing supported AJ Allmendinger through his drug
suspension from NASCAR and vowed to help the driver resurrect his
His opportunity appears to be in IndyCar.
Allmendinger will test an IndyCar for Penske at Sebring, Fla.,
on Feb. 19, with an eye on running the Indianapolis 500 for the
storied organization. He was at Penske Racing on Thursday having a
seat fit in an IndyCar.
"Roger is one of the most loyal owners you will ever know, and
I think his loyalty has come into play in this case," Penske
President Tim Cindric said. "AJ is obviously talented and when you
look at the circumstances and how he handled the circumstances,
well, he made a mistake. But he's a talented guy and someone who
has shown what he can do in an IndyCar.
"We are in the racing business, and AJ has gone through the
process required for him and as far as we are concerned the slate
is wiped clean."
Allmendinger was suspended by NASCAR hours before the July race
at Daytona for failing a random drug test. He asked to have his
backup "B" sample tested, and was released by Penske Racing on
Aug. 1 when those results also came back positive for a banned
Allmendinger completed NASCAR's "Road to Recovery" program and
was reinstated in September. The Penske organization had already
moved on without him in NASCAR, but is willing to give him a shot
in IndyCar.
Allmendinger won five races in Champ Car in 2006, his final
season in open-wheel cars before he moved to NASCAR. Cindric said
he believes Allmendinger will adapt quickly to IndyCar's DW-12,
which debuted last season.
"This IndyCar is relatively easy to drive – it needs more power
and less downforce, so his learning curve would be less than other
IndyCars," Cindric said. "When he was driving the open wheel car,
he was very competitive. When you gauge him next to Will Power – it
was the reason why he was able to make the step to NASCAR, because
he was successful and a proven talent. Typically, guys don't forget
what they know."
Penske, which has won 15 Indy 500s, is committed to running a
third car at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in May. The team owner in
December dangled the seat to three-time NASCAR champion Tony
Stewart, who declined the opportunity.
But Cindric said it's still their intent to run the car, and
Allmendinger is a viable option.
And in pursuing the opportunity, Allmendinger had to convince
the organization he's interested in racing in the IndyCar Series.
Allmendinger ran four NASCAR races after his reinstatement, has a
handful of Sprint Cup races on his 2013 schedule, and was on
Michael Shank Racing's third-place team at the Rolex 24 Hours of
Daytona sports car race last month.
"When we look at the drivers out there, we've been looking at
AJ and asked, `Is he someone who wants to do this longer-term if
there was a possibility with us?"' Cindric said. "For him to be a
candidate to run at Indy, it would have to be something he'd be
interested in doing beyond Indy. He's consistently told us,
`Whatever is the best ride for me, I just want the best opportunity
as a driver.' He's convinced us that should we want him to drive
beyond Indy, we would be his first priority."
Cindric said the test in Florida is so far the only thing on
Allmendinger's schedule with the Penske IndyCar. Ideally,
Allmendinger would run at least one race with the organization
before the Indy 500 and Cindric said the April event at Barber was
a good fit because IndyCar has an open test at the Alabama
Allmendinger's only run one oval track in an IndyCar, at
Milwaukee. He finished fifth, second and fourth in his three career
"Because he's only driven one oval in an open-wheel car, we'd
want to run him in at least one race before Indy to get used to the
team, to pit stops and get comfortable," Cindric said. "We're
hoping to try to make a decision about the Barber open test by the
end of the month."

Today's Meditation
Read Romans 10:12-18
Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
Matthew 28:1920 (NIV)
Recently I read a story about a group of Christians in China and how they approached evangelism. They had a great desire to teach the gospel and spread the news about Jesus to as many people as possible. "We can't afford any big programs or fancy gospel presentations," they said. "All we have to give people is Jesus."
In the first century, the church communicated the good news of Jesus throughout their world without fancy programs or elaborate equipment. They lived their faith and taught their neighbors and friends, and the church saw rapid growth. All they had to give people was Jesus. We can do the same. All we need is the willingness and the voice to share with others the "reason for the hope that [we] have . . . with gentleness and respect" (1 Pet. 3:15). If we look for opportunities to introduce our community and the world to Jesus and his lifegiving message, we will find them.
Andy Baker (Tennessee, USA)
Thought for the Day: It doesn't cost money to share the gospel in our daily interactions.
Prayer: Dear God, help us to be willing to teach others about your son and the salvation he brings. Amen.

NH's county attorneys failing to provide suspect police officer listsBy NANCY WEST
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 21. 2013 9:40PM
County attorneys are not following a state protocol to provide local prosecutors with copies of confidential lists of law enforcement officers with potential credibility issues, according to Strafford County Attorney Thomas Velardi.
"That's not a policy I've ever followed," Velardi said. He is affiliate president of a New Hampshire county attorneys group.
County attorneys use so-called Laurie lists to guarantee that defendants are notified if a police officer testifying against them has been disciplined for dishonesty or excessive force issues.
The procedure is outlined in a 2004 memo distributed by then-Attorney General Peter Heed. Heed acted after the state Supreme Court reversed a first-degree murder conviction against Carl Laurie in 1995 because prosecutors failed to disclose a key police investigator's propensity for dishonesty.
The county attorneys are required to keep the lists. Heed's memo also said that, "Local prosecutors should be provided a copy of the list, or at least that portion of the list containing information from police departments from within their jurisdiction."
Velardi said he has never heard of another county attorney sharing their Laurie list with local prosecutors. Some, like Velardi, don't even share the list with other prosecutors in their office unless they ask about a specific officer.
Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice said her office was unaware that county attorneys were not sharing the lists with district court prosecutors.
"We will remind them of that suggestion in the memo," Rice said.
Most are "likely aware of any officer within the department whose name is on the Laurie list," said Rice in an e-mail.
Velardi said it is paramount to protect the confidentiality of the names on the list, rather than spread the list around.
Velardi said it is up to local prosecutors to contact him and ask if a testifying officer is on the list.
"They have to call and ask me," Velardi said.
He conceded it would be time consuming for local prosecutors to do so. They deal with a high volume of cases, most of which are misdemeanors, and range from drunken driving to drug and assault cases.
"No one has ever dealt with the practicality of having to do that," Velardi said, adding the state protocols are in the process of being rewritten.
That leaves local prosecutors — many of whom are police — to rely on informal methods of finding out if an officer is on the list. They can ask their local chief; but if an officer from an outside department or agency is involved in a case, finding out about a Laurie issue is even tougher.
It is another example of how the system is not working, according to Jim Moir, a Concord attorney who is an expert on Laurie issues.
"What happens is the only time this issue will come to light is when a defendant finds out that the officer who may have testified against him or her was on that list and (it) was not provided," Moir said.
In such cases, a conviction may be overturned.
"That has already happened in the Cody Eller case," Moir said, referring to a road-rage related conviction that was reversed because Eller's lawyer wasn't told a key police witness had a Laurie issue.
Outside officers are less likely to be called as witnesses in district court, but could be in cases where they assisted a local department, said Hanover Police Prosecutor Christopher O'Connor.
"I've never seen a list," O'Connor said.
He said he would be notified by local police chiefs of those officers with Laurie issues for the departments he represents in the Lower Grafton County Prosecutorial Association, including Lyme, Orford, Grafton, Enfield and Canaan.
"It could be that I would have a trial and have an officer from a different agency testify and not be aware there might be a Laurie issue in their file," O'Connor said.
Velardi said he has 21 officers on the Strafford County Laurie list, some from state agencies that were put on the list in the last year after the Sunday News reported they weren't reporting to all 10 county attorneys as required.
"Several of those have never been a police officer in Strafford County," Velardi said.
He believes many names on the list result from police chiefs over-reporting issues that shouldn't be considered Laurie issues at all. There are only three of those officers who are still active and who concern him, Velardi said.
During his 15 years as a prosecutor, only two names were disclosed and in each case, the judge made the final determination that they were not Laurie issues.
Most of the serious integrity matters result in the officer no longer serving as a sworn officer, he said.
"Those get reported to the chief and the chief takes corrective action. They go away and the system corrects itself. The bad guys get flushed out," Velardi said.

UNITED NATIONS—Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Friday that France, Senegal and Nigeria have responded to an appeal from Mali's president for help to counter an offensive by al-Qaida-linked militants who control the northern half of the country and are heading south.
The U.N. chief said in an interview with The Associated Press that assisting the Malian defense forces push back against the Islamist armed groups is "very important." The militants captured the city of Konna on Thursday, and were threatening the city of Mopti, which has 100,000 inhabitants.
The secretary-general said he received a letter from Mali's President Dioncounda Traore on Thursday "informing me of his intention to request assistance from French government and other regional powers, which I have brought to (the) urgent attention of the Security Council."
France launched a military operation Friday to help the government of Mali defeat the militants. Ban didn't elaborate on what kind of help Senegal and Nigeria are providing.
Ban responded to a question asking his assessment of the French military action by first referring to Security Council resolution 2085, adopted unanimously on Dec. 20, which authorized an African-led mission composed of regional forces to support Malian authorities in recovering the north—an area the size of Texas.
Putting the force together "may take some time," the secretary-general said, and "now that these armed Islamist groups are pushing further south, the situation has become much, much more volatile in terms of security as well as human rights and humanitarian situation."
"I know that countries like France, Senegal, Nigeria have responded to the calls of President Traore. I hope that French military deployment will be consistent with the spirit of Security Council resolution 2085," Ban said.
The secretary-general said the resolution clearly states the mission to retake the north must be African-led and in support of Malian authorities.
In a section called "international support," resolution 2085 calls on member states, including from the Sahel, to contribute troops to the mission, to be known as AFISMA. It also urges member states to support AFISMA by providing military training, equipment, intelligence, logistical support "and any necessary assistance in efforts to reduce the threat posed by terrorist organizations."
France's U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud told reporters after an emergency meeting of the Security Council on Thursday evening that U.N. resolutions "call on all member states to provide assistance in resolving the Malian crisis in all its aspects, including military and political—and I emphasize—to provide support to the authorities of this country to put an end to the terrorist threat."
A press statement issued by the Security Council after that meeting condemned the capture of Kanna and reiterated its call to member states "to assist the settlement of the crisis in Mali and, in particular, to provide assistance to the Malian Defence and Security Forces in order to reduce the threat posed by terrorist organizations and associated groups." It also called for the rapid deployment of AFISMA.
The secretary-general said that in accordance with another provision of resolution 2085, the U.N. is now trying to deploy a "multi-disciplinary mission" in Mali's capital, Bamako, "as a way to have the continuous and constant presence and consultation with Bamako authorities."

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) has the broadest geographic distribution of all small Asian felids. These cats are found from southern India to the islands of the Sunda Shelf and north to the Russian Far East (the Leopard Cat is one of only a handful of felid species that can be found on islands in East Asia and the only one to occur even on several small islands; Watanabe 2009). Leopard Cats are the only wild felids occurring in Japan or the Philippines. Leopard Cats are found in a wide range of forest types from lowland tropical evergreen rainforest and rubber and oil palm plantations at sea level to moist temperate broadleaf and dry coniferous forests in the Himalayas at 3000 m. They also do well in successional habitats, shrub forests, and farmlands and on coastal islands. They are generally absent from cold steppe grasslands or arid areas. Their small feet are not well suited for moving in deep snow and they consequently avoid areas where snow depth exceeds 10 cm.
Leopard Cats feed on a variety of small prey, including rodents, reptiles, birds, amphibians, crabs, and insects. They are excellent swimmers and captive animals spend a lot of time playing in the water.
These cats are heavily hunted for their pelts in many parts of their range and, as a result, although still common over most of their range, Leopard Cats may be at risk of extinction in India, Thailand, and Bangladesh. China has set an annual harvest quota of 150,000 individuals, but the number actually taken is likely larger than this. Chinese fur companies are said to have hundreds of thousands of Leopard Cat pelts stockpiled in their warehouses. Leopard Cat coats are often sold in Nepal and Kashmir.

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohio's imminent announcement of a new lethal injection drug is likely to be followed by legal challenges, if past experience in the state and across the country is any judge.
That same experience also suggests Ohio would likely prevail over the long term, but not before executions might be put on hold for a while.
The state is switching drugs because its supply of the drug used most recently in Ohio, the sedative pentobarbital, expired Monday. Additional supplies aren't available because the drug's manufacturer has put it off limits for use in executions.
Time and again, the state's introduction of a new drug or execution process "has given rise to new allegations and often new pleading" in death penalty cases, almost always followed by counterchallenges, federal judge Gregory Frost noted in August after the state said it would likely announce its new drug by Friday.
There's another option for securing pentobarbital, however, which involves pharmacists mixing individual doses for the state. Pharmacists aren't affected by the manufacturer's prohibition because they're mixing ingredients used to make the drug. Ohio has hinted it is leaning toward this method.
Assuming they have the equipment to mix the drug, and putting aside any moral qualms, pharmacists will have to think long and hard about the possible litigation they might face, said Ernest Boyd, executive director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association.
"When you look at the number of groups ready to have a phalanx of attorneys to attack, it's not going to be the same decision as, 'Do I make you a wart medicine?'" Boyd said.
The approach is also ripe for lawsuits after a compounding pharmacy in Massachusetts was blamed for a nationwide meningitis outbreak last year that killed 64 people and sickened hundreds more.
Harry Mitts, who killed two people in 1994 including a police officer, was put to death last week with Ohio's remaining dose of pentobarbital. The new method, if approved, would be used Nov. 14 to execute Ronald Phillips, sentenced to die for raping and killing his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter in 1993.
The state's switch to pentobarbital in 2011 was quickly challenged legally because it had never been used as an execution drug. Frost put executions on hold that year as part of other criticisms of Ohio's execution process, including the documentation of the process, but allowed them to begin again in November 2011. The state has executed seven men since then.
Challenges help ensure the state is imposing the ultimate punishment responsibly, said Tim Young, head of the Ohio public defender's office.
"This is a justice system," Young said Tuesday. "This is not a revenge system. This is not an inflict-as-much-pain-as-you-can system."
In Georgia, a lawsuit is challenging that state's decision to shield information about the compounding pharmacy it commissioned to create doses of pentobarbital for Georgia executions.
In Missouri, hundreds of anesthesiologists have urged the state not to use the anesthetic propofol in an upcoming execution, saying the fallout could jeopardize the availability of the anesthetic relied on by thousands of U.S. hospitals and clinics.

The European Union's tax commissioner urged U.S. supporters of a financial transaction tax to keep up their efforts and said a global tax should be a reality at "some time."
"I believe that things can evolve," Algirdas Semeta said today in a speech at the Center for American Progress in Washington. "Nowadays, every government needs new sources of public funding."
So far, 11 countries have signed up to work toward the EU's tax. The EU plan would impose a wide-ranging levy on trades of stocks, bonds, derivatives and other financial instruments, to raise revenue and discourage speculative trading.
High-frequency trading has led to transactions that "do not have any social value," Semeta said, adding that the tax would "reorient the financial sector" around the real economy.
The U.S. Treasury Department opposes the EU tax. Payson Peabody, managing director and tax counsel at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association in Washington, said his group agreed because a tax could harm U.S. investors.
Lew's Response
"The administration has consistently opposed a financial transactions tax on the grounds that it would be vulnerable to evasion, create incentives for financial re-engineering, and burden retail investors," Jack Lew, President Barack Obama's nominee for Treasury secretary, said in response to a written question from Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee.
Some Democratic lawmakers in the U.S., including Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, support similar tax proposals. They have gained little traction in Congress.
Transaction taxes "have an outsized impact, negative impact on growth and jobs," Peabody said. "And we think that policy makers on both sides of the aisle understand that."
The proposed EU tax would set a rate of 0.1% for stock and bond trades and 0.01% on derivatives trades. The EU estimates that the plan could raise 30 billion euros ($40 billion) to 35 billion euros per year.
To become law, the proposal must be approved by the EU nations that agreed to consider imposing the tax. They now include Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia.
