Funding crunch shines light on White River Light Station museum budget
"The proposed budget lists McDonnell's salary at $13,806 and her health insurance at $6,444.
The museum's portion of the budget also calls for $4,000 in utility expenses, $1,000 for repairs and maintenance, and $1,000 for printing and publishing, among other items."
Duh...you're out of taxpayer's money.
Fire her and save $30-40,000.
If the local won't support it, bulldoze it!
Are we ever going to realize that rich folks want the rest of us to pay for their hobbies?

Butler University Deems Chief Justice Roberts Too Controversial for Commencement Address
Butler University Deems Chief Justice Roberts Too Controversial for Commencement Address
"When John Roberts' niece graduates in May from Butler University this May, the Supreme Court chief justice may attend as a relative — but he has been deemed too controversial to take the stage as commencement speaker."
The lunatics are running the asylum.
Will we never learn?

I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favourite.'"
You go girl...nothing says "female empowerment" like government subsidized suicide!

LSJ Blogs: Hey, Joe: The basics: "The basics"

The basics
Friday's game does indeed start at 7:20 p.m. Eastern, three cheers for the ink-stained wretches. Chris Allen will play, and Tom Izzo and Durrell Summers did meet Sunday.
Also: * The Spartans will essentially be playing to avenge Illinois on Friday. At least, that's how you could look at it considering New Mexico State is a "bid bandit" that stole an at-large slot away. I have to think Illinois was the last team left out, or awfully close to it. * The Aggies are fast, athletic and high-scoring, with six guys shooting above 33 percent from long range. And you may as well ignore everything this team did in the first half of the season. Athletic forwards Troy Gillenwater (6-8, 234, 14.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg) and Wendell McKines (6-6, 224, 10.8 ppg, 9.9 rpg) joined the team in February and December, respectively, after they gained academic eligibility. This is a totally different team with those two, and a huge reason the Aggies won the WAC tourney. * The Aggies also give it up on defense (77 points, 45 percent shooting) and have poor rebounding numbers. But again, they didn't have the 16 rebounds a game Gillenwater and McKines give them. * No tickets available for this one, it's sold out and MSU's 350 will go to the luminaries and top donors. However, I'm thinking that sellout has a lot to do with Gonzaga fans expecting the Zags to be there (instead of, say, Buffalo!) so if you can find a way out to Spokane, I'll bet you can find good seats at a good price outside the arena. * For Lansing-area residents, MSU's team banquet is Monday night, at Breslin for the first time. Admission is free, concessions open, doors open at 7:30 with the program starting at 7:45. You can sit in the green seats. * Arizona was not included, meaning MSU now has the third-longest NCAA streak with 13. Kansas is at 21 and Duke at 15. MSU's streak is the second-longest in Big Ten history. Indiana went to 18 straight from 1986 to 2003. * Izzo repeated that he will "mix it up" this week and look at lineup variations. Draymond Green, though, will stay in that sixth man role. Izzo said Kalin Lucas is out to prove something, in a good way.

THE OBVIOUS SOLUTION IS UNARMED COPS. You know, like in Britain. AP: Memphis police at fault in Pentagon shooting. Disarm the police now! If it saves just one life, it’s worth it . . . .
Also: “We need to close the police department loophole.”"

NICE rejects ten drugs (allowed in Europe) that could have extended 20,000 cancer patients' lives
NICE rejects ten drugs (allowed in Europe) that could have extended 20,000 cancer patients' lives
"Up to 20,000 people have died needlessly early after being denied cancer drugs on the NHS, it was revealed yesterday.
The rationing body NICE has failed to keep a promise to make more life-extending drugs available.
Treatments used widely in the U.S. and Europe have been rejected on grounds of cost-effectiveness, yet patients and their loved ones have seen the NHS waste astronomical sums.
Last week it emerged that £21billion - a fifth of the entire annual budget - was spent on failed schemes to tackle inequality."

"Above all other reasons, voters who oppose ObamaCare cite their fear over costs:
They think it will cause their insurance premiums to soar and result in far higher taxes to fund a vast new entitlement.
The public is right on both counts, which is why White House smokejumpers have been dispatched to put out this fire as the final votes approach.
Let's take their claims one by one, as a public service while everyone else focuses on the whip count."

13 Killed At Mexican Beach Resort
13 Killed At Mexican Beach Resort
"ACAPULCO, Mexico (March 14, 2010)—
What evidently was drug-related violence left 13 people dead early Saturday in and around the Mexican beach resort of Acapulco, which has traditionally been a popular spring break destination.
Four of the victims were beheaded, security officials said.
Five of the dead were police officers who were attacked while on nighttime patrol on the outskirts of the Pacific Ocean resort, security officials said."
This ain't good....
