Brundage Mountain Resort has a special place in the hearts of Idaho snow lovers. Snow conditions are consistently outstanding, which is why Brundage Mountain has earned the reputation for the Best Snow in Idaho™. It's no secret that the snow is deep and the lift lines are usually short. The mountain gets frequent storms, so skiers and boarders can cruise on freshly groomed runs or search for powder stashes in the trees and bowls.
For beginners, Brundage is one of the best mountains in Idaho to learn on—the drive-up daycare and Kid's Center makes it easy to get the whole family where they need to go. The Easy Street double chair and Bear Chair triple provide easy access to beginner and advanced beginner terrain close to the Kid's Center.
A majority of the luxuriously wide groomed runs are rated for intermediates, but experts who like to head off-trail have endless options. Shoot over to the north side of the mountain to Hidden Valley (follow the expert only signs) and go big. Real powder hounds will want to try the backcountry snow-cat program which operates on 18,000 acres of Payette National Forest.
Visit Brundage and you'll pick up on that authentic Idaho feeling. Just eight miles away, the town of McCall will impress you with its friendly, low-key vibe.
Brundage Mountain has recently acquired ownership of 488 acres at the base area, and future plans include brand-new base area facilities and ski-in, ski-out lodging.
With the best snow in Idaho, a family atmosphere, affordable prices, friendly people, and an uncrowded powder experience, Brundage is a true snowrider's mountain, poised to become a favorite destination resort.

DALLAS Semiconductor, represented by Arrow Electronics , has introduced the DS1626 high-precision 3-wire digital thermometer and thermostat.
This is the first 3-wire ±0.5°C thermometer and standalone thermostat available in a microSOP package, which makes it ideal for applications that need high precision in a limited amount of space.
The DS1626 thermometer provides 9, 10, 11, or 12-bit digital temperature readings over a -55°C to +125°C range, with ±0.5°C accuracy over a 0°C to +70°C range.
It has thermostat functionality with nonvolatile (EEPROM) user-defined trip points that allow the user to customize the threshold temperature and output hysteresis.
The DS1626 acts as a stand-alone thermostat, automatically measuring temperature upon power-up and operating without processor or user intervention.
The DS1626 communicates through a standard 3-wire serial interface.
Typical applications for the DS1626 include thermostatic controls, industrial systems, consumer products, and thermometers.
However, the DS1626's high accuracy and small size can benefit any space-constrained, thermally sensitive application.

This statue of Esther Hobart Morris was given to the National Statuary Hall Collection by Wyoming in 1960. Morris is honored as a pioneer for women's suffrage.
Given by Wyoming in 1960
Hall of Columns
U.S. Capitol
Woman suffrage leader Esther Hobart Morris was born in Tioga County, New York, on August 8, 1814. Orphaned at age 11, she was apprenticed to a seamstress and became a successful milliner and businesswoman. As a young woman she was active in the anti-slavery movement. Widowed in 1845, she moved to Peru, Illinois, to settle the property in her husband's estate. There she realized the legal difficulties faced by women. She married John Morris, a prosperous merchant, and in 1869 they moved to a gold rush camp at South Pass City, Wyoming Territory.
To promote the idea of recognizing women's right to vote, Morris organized a tea party for the electors and candidates for the first territorial legislature. With the national woman suffrage movement still being organized, Wyoming's enactment of such a law in 1869 was a legislative milestone. Laws were also passed affirming married women's control of their own property and providing equal pay for women teachers.
When appointed justice of the peace for the South Pass District in 1870, she became the first woman to hold judicial office in the modern world. During the statehood celebration in 1890 she was honored as a suffrage pioneer. In 1895, at age 80, she was elected a delegate to the national suffrage convention in Cleveland. She died in Cheyenne on April 2, 1902.

"Ethanol and a Changing Agricultural Landscape" is a new report out from the USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS). If you raise livestock, you might be interested in reading it. There's a chapter that addresses biofuels' impacts on the livestock sector as well as the environment.
Over the short term, feed grain costs will likely rise as biofuel production increases. The authors (Scott A. Malcolm, Marcel Aillery and Marca Weinberg) point out that corn prices are forecast to rise by 2.2 due percent due to the 15-billion corn-based ethanol target for 2015 in the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Soybean prices also are expected to rise by 2.7 percent due to higher demand for soybean oil in biodiesel production.
Livestock feeders who use distillers grains (DDGS) may help offset higher feed grain costs. However, the authors add that increased DDGS demand would result in higher prices for DDGS. Overall, higher feed prices would lead to a slight decrease in livestock numbers.
Longer term, an expansion in the ethanol industry could result in greater concentration of beef and dairy herds near ethanol production plants where there would be ready access to distillers wet grains. "Spreading manure on energy feedstock crops and potential use of animal waste for onsite power generation provide additional incentives for herd expansion near processing facilities," Malcolm and his colleagues write. They add that ethanol's reliance on corn as the main feedstock may "adjust to relative regional cost advantages in livestock production, potentially slowing or reversing the recent shift in animal concentrations from the Midwest."

text: Sneijder is greeted by thousands of Galatarasay supporters after arrival in Istanbul on January 21 [AFP]Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder signed a 3-1/2 year contract with Istanbul club Galatasaray on Tuesday after leaving Inter Milan and rejecting moves to higher-profile leagues."I had many offers but Galatasaray was the number one," Sneijder told a news conference a day after hundreds of Galatasaray fans gave him a rapturous welcome on his arrival in Istanbul. Reports said teams including Premier League Liverpool were also interested in the 28-year-old, who inspired Inter Milan to a Champions League, Serie A and Italian Cup treble in 2010 before helping the Netherlands finish World Cup runners-up."That was the best season so far in my life. The period after was a hard period," he said.Sneijder struggled to maintain that success and was caught up in a contract dispute at Inter this season after failing to renegotiate his deal as the club sought to cut costs and being banished from the team.The signing of Sneijder is a major coup for the Turkish league, which is more used to taking top players towards the end of their careers like Fenerbahce's Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt.No financial details of the deal were immediately made public. Turkish league leaders Galatasaray, who unlike Europa League contenders Inter are in the Champions League last 16, confirmed a deal was done after Sneijder announced the move on Sunday following days of pondering their offer.Sneijder is expected to make his debut for the Super League champions in the derby against Besiktas on January 27.

The Federal Communications Commission will soon release a new cable ownership order that would bar cable companies from serving over 30 percent of pay television subscribers in the US. If the order is adopted by the FCC, it would make the currently enforced 30 percent limit a matter of law.
The 30 percent cap stems from a 1992 change to the nation's cable-ownership regulations by the FCC. Spurred by a concern that cable networks would have too few distribution outlets if the cable industry consolidated, the FCC decreed that no single company could serve more than 30 percent of the homes passed by cable companies. A few years later, the homes-passed metric was dropped in favor of total cable subscribers, but the 30 percent cap was kept in place.
In 2001, a federal court overturned the FCC's ownership limit and told the Commission to come up with a new set of guidelines for cable ownership. The new order in the works is a belated response to the 2001 ruling; in the intervening period, the FCC has continued to enforce the 30 percent limit, refusing to approve mergers where the combined entity would serve more than three in ten cable subscribers.
Last month, Comcast formally challenged the FCC's unofficial limit, forcing the FCC's hand. Comcast argued that the rationale for limiting ownership—a lack of outlets for broadcasters—was a "relic that cannot be justified." The cable giant points to the growing number of alternatives in the video marketplace, including the Internet, mobile phones, P2P networks, satellite, and other on-demand services as evidence that the market has changed to the point where a cap is no longer necessary.
The National Cable Television Association is also opposed to the new rules. "Any FCC order adopting the same 30 percent cap tossed out by the courts would be astonishing," NCTA President & CEO Kyle McSlarrow told Ars. Pointing to the entry of Verizon and AT&T into the video market and the FCC's willingness to sign off on massive consolidation in the telecom industry (AT&T and BellSouth, Verizon and MCI), McSlarrow says that "in this day and age, given the competitive environment, the right answer is to say there is no cap."
Comcast is the largest cable provider in the US, currently serving around 28 percent of US cable subscribers, and may soon find itself bumping up against a 30 percent cap, be it formal or informal. Should that happen, Comcast would be forced to turn away new customers, and the cap rules out the possibility of the cable company purchasing anything other than a very small player in the cable market.
The TV landscape has changed in ways that the 1992 and even 2001 actions could not have envisioned, but it is not clear that opening the door to widespread consolidation in the cable television industry is going to make things better for consumers.

Nobles and Shelton in artist spotlight; bike rodeo postponed
Painting class members honor fellow artists
Maner Nobles and Marie Shelton have been honored at the Lenoir County Council on Aging as artists of the month, one in April and one in May.
Nobles said she has loved art for as long as she can remember, drawing pictures on just about everything she could find. As a teenager, she won an art scholarship from a �Draw Me� correspondence program.
�The learning was very intense, but rewarding,� Nobles said. �I learned many of the basic principles of art but didn�t get to use them except with young students who were doing special projects at school.�
Nobles studied one semester of oil painting at Lenoir Community College in the �70s and took two painting classes at the arts council more than 20 years later. The only thing she had painted since then was her house and various crafts projects, until joining the painting class at the senior center. She has been a class member for eight months and has discovered her love for painting still life subjects with flowers. Her acrylic �Eastern Influence� was displayed at the Skinner Center.
Shelton began attending the art classes four years ago under the instruction of the late Eddie Cox. She enjoys painting flowers, which were the subject of her painting on display, �Vase of Roses.�As she becomes more experienced, Shelton is painting on a larger scale.
Both students feel fortunate to have Bettie Saville teaching the class. Each week she covers something new, stressing values and how to mix paints. She is hands on when you need her to be for skills enhancement, but she encourages you to find your own style and to go with it.
Classes meet from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursdays at the Skinner Center, 112 E. Blount St. Anyone 55 and older is welcome. For information, call 252-527-1545.
Safe Kids rodeo postponed
The Safe Kids Eastern Carolina bicycle rodeo planned for 9 a.m. to noon Saturday has been postponed due to inclement weather.
Keep watching The Free Press for a rescheduled date for this event.
These bike rodeos are designed for children ages 5 to 12 who know how to ride a bicycle. Features include hand signal training, free helmets, obstacle courses and bicycle check-ups.
Safe Kids of Eastern Carolina, a regional coalition serving Lenoir, Jones and Greene counties, is housed at the Partnership for Children of Lenoir and Greene Counties, 1465 Hwy. 258 N.
The Partnership for Children is a non-profit organization that provides funding and oversight to local programs that serve children and their families. The mission is �Developing today�s children to become tomorrow�s leaders.�

Exactly, and isn't it humorous that most of the people who want to limit guns to prevent crime want to limit gun ownership. Most crimes are done with guns the criminals don't technically own. They are guns that were stolen and/or bought through illicit channels.
Assuming most guns are exceptionally valuable.
I'm willing to bet most Americans with guns have TV's that cost more.
I don't see someone breaking into a house with the intention of stealing a gun as being all that common.
Or they can just buy them illegally. I mean...it's not hard. Again, I use drugs as an example. Most people don't purchase pot legally, Guns are super easy to get. And like drugs, they can be as cheap or as expensive as one wants them to be.
Of course a source is necessary. If you expect us to accept something as true without supporting evidence, you might as well claim that an omniscient, omnipotent deity commanded that people own guns.
Claims of fact require evidence to support those claims.
How many people do you know, personally, have died from being shot? How many people do you know have been shot at, period? War doesn't count.
Guns and god are two totally different things. I'm not telling anyone to accept something as proof...just sometimes the obvious is good enough. I'm not screwing around with someone that has a gun....most people wouldn't. Assuming the opposite is about as absurd as assuming god exists (since we're going to compare apples to oranges).
I feel that as human beings we have a right to arm and defend ourselves against any outside aggressors, be they enemies from other nations, or enemies from within our own borders. That said, I can't see any logical reason for a civilian to own a bazooka, or a Vulcan gun, or even an AK-47. I believe firmly in removing threats entirely. If someone comes at me with the intent to do me harm I will ensure that they never do so again.
I'd like to elaborate a bit. For starters, I do not think that the mentally handicapped, or those convicted of violent, alcohol, or drug related crimes should be allowed to own handguns, or shotguns, or even rifles. I am firmly against any and all attempts to outright ban firearms, because such a ban only matters to people who obey the law. Those who claim the ban would remove all guns from the nation are naive. Those who believe violent crimes and death will decrease are even more naive. When you want someone dead, you will find a way to kill them, and it's not that hard. If you ban guns, where does it stop? Do you ban knives because people kill each other with knives? What if we start clubbing each other with Baseball bats?
I find the argument of "Guns kill people" to be a pathetic one. It's the response of someone who is trying to force the responsibility out of their own hands, or out of the hands of those who commit Gun Crimes. It's like saying "The gun made me kill that guy, I didn't have a choice! The gun was there, I HAD to use it." Guns are inanimate objects. They have no will, no sentience, no thoughts whatsoever. When someone is killed with a gun, it is because the one holding the gun pulled the trigger.
As far as gun crime goes, most of the anti-gun people propose laws that would only be obeyed, for the most part, by law-abiding citizens. Laws that would only have the effect of concentrating firearms in the hands of the people we would most like not to have them.
Why otherwise bright people—who recognize the failure of the prohibition on alcohol and the way it propped up criminal enterprise in the 1930's—believe that a prohibition on firearms will have a different result is very puzzling to me. Can anybody help me understand this?
A neurotic believes that persisting in behavior that has a history of failure will somehow magically work the next time. Why should a prohibition on guns work any better than the prohibitions on alcohol or drugs?
Laws that would only have the effect of concentrating firearms in the hands of the people we would most like not to have them.
What concerns me, too, is that guns would be concentrated in the hands of those with money and connections, as luxury items. Right now, it is legal to own certain fully-automatic weapons ("machine guns") and things like suppressors ("silencers"); all that is required is a special tax paid to the ATF for each item, on top of the price of the gun (normally in the tens of thousands) and the obligatory background check. Even if gun control measures are passed, I'd bet that most "banned" items will always be legal in some form to those with enough money. It would be a shame if the general public were priced out of the self-defense market.
I didn't read all the responses, but I think it's a ridiculous and severely outdated amendment. The way I read it is regular Joes should be allowed to carry weapons in case there's a need for a militia to help defend the country. I'm sorry but if ever the state of the world was in such dire straights that the biggest army in the world needed to recruit militia, I think nukes would put the problems to rest long before the draft ever happened.

Selection committee members
By Cindy Luis
Not inspiring much confidence with this list. one comment from a coach who will remain nameless: it's a bunch of SWAs (Senior Woman Administrator) who are trying to pad their resume so it leads to being on a better committee, like basketball.
The way you can look at it is there are very few reps or regions west of the mississippi, which would lead to the bias given Big Ten and Big 12. And no one who would really be paying attention at their school to the national picture IMHO.

Peanut farmers hit with the double-whammy disease tandem of cylindrocladium black rot (CBR) and sclerotinia could get help soon from a new variety showing resistance to both.
Researchers say North Carolina's newly released Perry variety has good CBR resistance and also some resistance to sclerotinia. Thatís better disease fighting ability than any other peanut variety available in the region. Until now, farmers could plant peanut varieties with reasonably good CBR resistance. Sclerotinia resistance was tougher to breed into the plant, however, and breeders could not successfully mix it with CBR resistance until the breakthrough with Perry.
"We had a problem getting resistance to more than one type in a peanut," says Jack Bailey, North Carolina Extension plant pathologist. "Now Perry will provide some resistance to two of our major diseases. Farmers don't have to go backwards on CBR resistance to get sclerotinia resistance. It's a really important development for our farmers."
A Virginia type peanut, Perry recorded high yields under test conditions. "It has been a good high yielding variety even without the diseases being present," says David Jordan, North Carolina Extension peanut specialist.
Plant breeder Tom Isleib, building on the work of his predecessor Johnny Wynne, should be commended for developing Perry, Bailey says. "This comes out of a traditional breeding program and is not a biotech variety, though biotechnology techniques are being used in research at NCSU. Last season there were only 3,000 acres of Foundation seed of Perry. This year everyone should have to opportunity at least to see it."
"Peanut resistance to diseases fits perfectly with farmers' situation, where they're trying to reduce input costs. To the degree that you can control diseases with resistance and rotation, that's the way to do it.æ
Stopping sclerotinia at all should excite many peanut farmers. "It"s a very nasty disease, a big deal, the biggest yield reducer we have," Bailey says.
Until a few years ago, CBR held that dubious distinction. Then varietal resistance curbed CBR while sclerotinia grew worse. Once introduced into a field, it spreads easily.
"Sclerotinia is in all the state's peanut counties. Even with the resistance in Perry, some spraying for sclerotinia will still be necessary," Jordan says.
Syngenta's Omega 500, with a special Section 18 label last season, helped some farmers reduce sclerotinia problems. The product could be fully labelled for use this season, but an application for a new Section 18 permit has been submitted, anyway.
"It works, but you have to use it properly," Bailey says. "You have to understand the history of the field and what part of the field has a sclerotinia problem. You need to focus on early application, when the vines are nearly touching. You should do it when the weather conditions are favorable for developing sclerotinia, which is rainy and relatively cool."
"Outbreaks tend to follow rain," Jordan says. "The most accurate assessment of the weather is done with the sclerotinia advisory program. The big question at farmer meetings this winter was how they could get some Perry to plant on their farm."
This season, however, only certified seed growers will get to plant the variety. It will be in general release in 2002.
"It'll take on a high percentage of our acreage, even if it does stumble a little due to some unforeseen problem that didn't come up in the tests. Farmers are excited about it and want it now," Jordan says.
North Carolina State University researchers are also testing biological controls for sclerotinia. The most intriguing is another fungus discovered in Germany, registered as Contans, which attacks the sclerotinia fungus.
"We don't now recommend using Contans because, even though it is registered, we donít know how effective it is," Bailey says. "We know it will attack sclerotinia. The question is if it's effective enough to be efficient. If it can do that, it's a real breakthrough. Then the farmer could change the soil ecology by introducing a friendly fungus to destroy another one."
These below-the-soil-surface battles are common with naturally occurring organisms in fields.
"There are lots of attacks in the soil that we never see," Bailey says. "There's a war going on down there. Everybody is steak dinner for somebody. Contans will be applied in tests in fields with known sclerotinia problems this season. We're going to see if it's really economically viable. When those results come in, we'll know a lot more about it."
There's a new coordinated approach to stopping the spread of CBR this year. Pathologists now believe CBR is transmitted on seed, so shellers are implementing special programs on certified seed production fields to avoid the disease. Seed treatment can reduce by half the transmission from infested or "speckled" seed.
North Carolina State University specialists working with the seed industry have developed a plan including specifications that certified seed production is to be only in fields with low levels of CBR and fields with a history of CBR be fumigated prior to planting. At season's end, they'll be inspected. and seed from fields with greater than 5percent CBR disease infestation must be rejected.
"This should have a major impact on the spread of CBR, Jordan says. "It's a real issue and everybody agrees it's a real issue and we're going to do what we have to do to keep it from becoming an even more major problem."
"This new certification program is a perfect example of how the university and industry works together," Bailey says. "While it is inconvenient to put new policies in place, this sort of active screening is part of the necessary effort required to keep the quality of the seed supply high. In fact, one of the hallmarks of American agriculture is the rapid adoption of new research findings. It is our competitive advantage over our competition overseas."
All told, it's an encouraging scenario for peanut farmers plagued with disease problems."New varieties and high quality control make our peanut growers the best in the world," Bailey says.

After a spate of attacks up in Oregon a few years ago, they had a bunch of marine biologists descend on Coos Bay.....one of them shared a story of diving around the Farallones. Guy said he was observing a big great white swimming off in distance.....he was in about 40 ft of water, down on the bottom. There were these flat-topped pinnacles of rock, so he swam up to one and rested on it trying to get a fix on the shark, which had disappeared in the distance. He got this "creepy feeling" and turned around to see the shark coming up over the top of the pinnacle behind him. As soon as he made eye contact, it swam away.....but he really wondered what would have happened if he hadn't turned around at that last moment.
They like the sneak attack.
They'll eat anything.
Fortunately we're not a preferred menu option, but.......divers never getting attacked....heh.....I'd like to think they don't like kitesurfers but......fogetaboudit. They'll chomp on anything that they're curious about.

In my busiest season, we have decided to move. I have never been more stressed and my house has never been cleaner.
The other day, Tess was asked what if some married couple wanted to buy our house and start a family. I got more than a little misty and told her that was exactly who me and her dad were when we walked through those doors.
When we signed our life away.
It has been a weird process for me.
The packing up.
The moving on.
The leaving things behind.
I know it is time.
But. Oh. My. Heart.
And let's be honest, it will just be a few miles down the road.
And let's be honest, it will just be a few miles down the road.
It doesn't help that I have been listening to Miranda Lambert's, "The House That Built Me" on repeat for weeks now. I know this isn't the house I grew up in, but it is in every way possible the house I have grown in.
I knew things would be fast, and I honestly haven't had much time to shop or think or do anything besides shove some winter clothes and a fondue set into the tower of boxes in my garage.
The realtors joked that the house would go fast and I kept joking to my friends how we would sell our home and have no where to go. I warned them to clear out some guest bedrooms for us. That soon we would be homeless. A few who know me well retorted that I love homeless people so I shouldn't have a problem with it.
My joke might have some truth to it.
We had five offers in less than that many days. All well above asking price.
This weekend we were on the other end and traipsed through home after home after home.
The problem was that they all just looked like houses to me.
With identical floor plans and yards that seem way too small.
Overwhelmed on all fronts in my life I called in sick a few days ago so that I could work.
I hoped to get a shower, mow the yard, have the nail in my tire removed, read a few chapters for grad school and grade about a million papers from my new home away from home…Starbucks.
On my way into the parking lot I saw a man on a bike who obviously hadn't showered in weeks.
He wore layers of clothes in the hot rain and had a good half dozen overflowing plastic shopping bags hanging from his handlebars. He parked in the field behind Starbucks and Waffle House and was picking up aluminum cans. I stopped. Rolled down my window and asked if I could buy him breakfast. Preferably something with hash browns on the side. Even through the layers of dirt I could see him blush. He assured me that he still had some peanut butter and crackers and that my kindness was unnecessary. I said of course it was unnecessary, that is the definition of kindness. But I have done this before, and know that it is more of fear of being turned away than anything else. So, I pushed. I asked if I could at least go inside Starbucks and get him some breakfast.
He said, "Maybe. Just something small."
He said, "Maybe. Just something small."
"How do you like your coffee?" I asked.
"Just a little bit," he said.
I ordered for the both of us.
One with cream and another without. Both cups larger than they needed to be.
I went back outside with arms full and let him choose a pastry.
I told him my name. Asked for his. And tried to look him in the eye, but it was all a little much for him.
He looked down, nibbled on his coffee cake and sipped.
"Tony," he said.
I sat.
I didn't even need to ask more than his name.
As soon as I sat he started talking.
He told me about his brother. They were only 13 months apart and they did everything together.
His last job he said, they got paid 17$ an hour.
And this was an exorbitant amount of money to him.
He said they both set their watch to ring on the hour so that they could feel 17$ richer every time it went off.
His brother got sick.
He didn't get better.
17$ an hour with no health insurance didn't go quite as far as they thought it would.
He died last summer.
Tony never recovered.
Words just poured out of him. Like maybe he hadn't had the chance to talk to anyone besides himself in a while.
I am a terrible listener. I interrupt. I one up. I get distracted. I mostly just sit there and wait for my turn to talk.
But with Tony, I just listened and ate my croissant.
I handed him a few granola bars that they were just giving away inside to people who happily spend four dollars on coffee, while this guy picked up trash just a few yards away.
I tucked a twenty in between the bars so he would find it later.
I told him I needed to go do some homework.
He thanked me for the coffee.
I thanked him for his story.
We accepted an offer on our house.
We made an offer an another.
In all of this, when I feel overwhelmed. Or like playing Miranda Lambert one more time.
When I can't find the pants I want to wear because I think they might be packed.
Or the uncertainty of where I will live, what school my kids will go to, if our offer will be accepted, what will happen if it doesn't, if my old house will pass inspection or appraise well, if we can afford any of it, and a million other questions and uncertainties that swirl.
I try to think about Tony instead.
Those questions are much simpler and more important.
Where will he sleep? What will he eat? Is he warm? Is he hungry?
I've looked for him and his bike every day since but I have not seen him again.
I hope I do.
I hope we both find our way home.
