do federal courts exceed power

Priorities for 2012 in Vermont Politics

By Howard Shaffer

Vermonts Citizen Legislature meets from January to May/June. During this term, the major issue is Hurricane Irene and its aftermath. The hurricane caused major devastation, but, thankfully, few lives were lost.

Vermonts geography of steep mountains and narrow valleys makes heavy rains destructive. Many roads and bridges were washed out during the hurricane. Homes, trailers, and propane tanks were carried away. Rivers changed courses, which changed some property lines. A few town halls and their records were flooded. Federal disaster assistance and private help were provided. Heroic efforts by citizens restored the roads and bridges by winter, and the economy picked up. Governor Peter Shumlin rightfully acknowledged these efforts in his Vermont State of the State speech.

The Legislature and Governor

Shumlin

The governor is working with a legislature dominated by his Democratic party, 22 to 8 in the Senate and 102 to 48 in the House. In the 2010 election, he credited 14 percent of his vote to the anti-nuclear power/Vermont Yankee vote, in his slim victory margin. An Associated Press local writer wrote a January 17 article Vermont Settles in To One-Party Government.

how do you makegerman potato cakes

Kartoffelpuffer (German Potato Pancakes) |

We have a really great program in Whatcom County called Whatcom Farm-to-School, which highlights a different local produce item each month in participating schools. The program is important because it links the foods that children eat to the farmers that grow it, and introduces some local produce into school lunch meals. This was made possible by a grant from another great local organization, the Whatcom Community Foundation.

Potatoes are the January Harvest of the Month item, so I decided to pick a recipe this month where potatoes are the star. I chose to make Karoffelpuffer – German potato pancakes. I thought they would be tasty and great for a cold day (they are typically served at winter street fairs in Germany). Since they are best served warm, I decided to cook them right at the demo table, which was a first for me. It went really well, and made my demo extra fun!

Oakland officials assess damage to City Hall by Occupy protesters

Oakland officials surveyed damage Sunday from a volatile Occupy protest that resulted in hundreds of arrests the day before and left the historic City Hall vandalized after demonstrators broke into the building, smashed display cases, cut electrical wires and burned an American flag.

Two local jails were still processing arrests that a police spokeswoman said could number "in the 400s" from Saturday's daylong protest -– the most contentious since authorities dismantled the Occupy Oakland encampment late last year.

Meanwhile, Mayor Jean Quan condemned the local movement's tactics as "a constant provocation of the police with a lot of violence toward them," and said the demonstrations were draining scarce resources from an already strapped city. Damage to the City Hall plaza alone has cost $2 million since October, she said, about as much as police overtime and mutual aid.

Oakland has logged five homicides since Friday, added Oakland Police Department spokeswoman Johnna Watson, "If we have to take our law enforcement officers to pay attention to Occupy Oakland, then we are not serving the city residents who need us most," Watson said.

how to make light bulb flash

How can i make a circuit to flash alternating LED bulbs?

Here's what im looking to do: i want to set up my plow truck with tow-truck lights, like i've seen on "Operation Repo". Each of the 4 marker lights would have about 10 LED's housed inside the lens, and they would alternate flashes. opposite corners would flash at the same time, and the 2 pairs would alternate in a AA-BB-AA-BB-AA-BB-AA-BB fashion. its a vehicle, so i would obviously want it to run off of 12vDC. the circuit needs to be controlled with a simple "On-Off" toggle switch.
