Lessons our children learn too early
Get a clue people, we have not intered the new millenium with our less than mediocre information from companies we expect to have up to the minute service. I feel sorry for the public at large that relies on these media services here in San Diego.

Environmental expert Harry Hollis
He has been active in environmental issues for more than 30 years. Please send your questions through the link at the top of this page. Harry, are you ready to get started? HARRY HOLLIS: Yes, I guess so. QUESTION: I know trees take in CO2 and produce oxygen. However, I have heard they are carbon neutral because they give the carbon back to the atmosphere when they die and decay. So planting trees will not help the greenhouse gas problem. Is this correct? William E Combs, Bloomfield HARRY HOLLIS: That's a difficult question to answer. I'm not sure that I can give you a very good answer, but trees do take CO2 out of the atmostphere. A mature tree, of course, takes more than will a smaller tree. What is necessary, in my opinion, is to plant more trees than we have now. At one time, the state of Indiana was 95% covered with forest, and now, it's 5% perhaps.
Video shows Iraqi kids training as terrorists
Video shows Iraqi kids training as terrorists Insurgents also use women, U.S. official says BY STEVE LANNEN McClatchy Newspapers BAGHDAD -- A U.S. military spokesman said Wednesday that Iraqi insurgents are increasingly relying on women and teenagers to undertake suicide attacks, and he released two videos that he said showed how insurgents have drawn children into their circle. One video showed footage of boys in black masks learning terrorist tactics. The other showed a boy being rescued from his kidnappers, apparently filmed by an Iraqi or American soldier. Rear Adm. Gregory Smith stopped short of calling the use of women and children in attacks a trend. But he said recent high-profile attacks, including the double bombing last Friday of two pet markets in Baghdad, have drawn new attention to the tactic.
Housing crisis begins to hit suburbs
In April 2007, Connecticut had the third-highest foreclosure rate in the nation and it remained in the top 10 in May and June before falling off the top of the list in July. The difference between Tuesday's RealtyTrac report and those from 2007 is where the foreclosures took place. In 2007, the foreclosures were happening in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford. Now, those white-and-black auction signs are popping up more frequently in suburbs like Fairfield and Milford as well as Stamford. Just two months ago, RealtyTrac data showed that 657 families living in 14 Connecticut municipalities were in preforeclosure, which means they were delinquent and a foreclosure filing was imminent. Those 14 cities and towns represented a cross-section of Fairfield County and other cities and towns in the Bridgeport area.

Seeing the combine from a different view
After the dash, the players got organized for passing and receiving drills. Michigan's Adrian Arrington, LSU's Early Doucet and Oklahoma State's Bowman didn't participate. Receivers ran quick out-routes to the sidelines that challenged them to pull in the ball while concentrating on getting two feet down in bounds. The quarterbacks' arm strength was tested as they attempted to hit receivers in-stride on fly routes and stutter-and-go routes of at least 40 yards. Receivers ran short crossing routes to show how crisply they could break their routes for a quick-hit gain, while the quarterback's short-game precision and timing was tested. Medium post routes and curls were also part of the drills. But the most interesting drill was the gauntlet, where each receiver started on the near sideline and ran to the opposite sideline while being peppered by passes from five quarterbacks, three on one side and two on the opposite side at evenly-spaced intervals.

Hope you enjoy the show
Late February means early spring in western Colorado, in spite of the calendar lagging a couple weeks behind. Spring brings Spring Break (breakaway?) for many valley residents but even more important for those of who watch the skies, it’s migration. In particular, we’re keyed to the passing of sandhill cranes on their way north to summer nesting and breeding grounds. While there’s hardly an easier way than to simply stake out a seat in the backyard and look up, two festivals offer up-close and personal looks at sandhill cranes and bits of education as well. The most local of the festivals is the Eckert Crane Festival, this year scheduled for two Saturdays, March 15 and 22. The event is co-sponsored by Surface Creek Winery and Gallery in Eckert and the Black Canyon Chapter of the Audubon Society.
