The Ozarks New Energy Conference is going to be happening in Springfield on Friday and Saturday February 22nd and 23rd at the Gillioz Theatre. Many dignitaries are scheduled to be there including Rep. Roy Blunt , Sen. Claire McCaskill and Springfield City Councilman Dan Chiles . If it wasn’t $75 to get in I’d go over and let you in on some of the festivities but since I use old energy at my house I have to pay my CU bill this month!
I don’t know how much Rep. Blunt and Sen. McCaskill will be talking to the media during their time in town but if they have press conferences I’ll try to get to them. (I called Rep. Blunt’s local office and was curtly and quickly told that they didn’t believe there would be time for something like that and I haven’t heard back from Sen. McCaskill’s office yet. I’ll update this post when I do.)
Here’s the conference’s press release with all the information in case you wa...

Quote: Montgomery, Ala. (WSFA) -- The advent of citizen reporters, You Tube, and the constant demands of a 24-hour news cycle are rapidly changing the face of American journalism. That was the topic Sunday night in the latest of a series of lectures at Auburn University Montgomery.

That's the new rating of the Bright/Love race from CQ Politics and it represents a change in Bright's direction from the previous "Leans Republican." The political history of the southeastern Alabama district still suggests an inherent Republican advantage, and the GOP had a strong and very well-funded candidate in state Rep. Jay Love. But Bright has burnished his efforts to build a profile as a conservative Democrat by obtaining the endorsements of the Blue Dog Coalition, a group... more

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - An ice cold night from the field, particularly in the second half, doomed Missouri S&T’s men’s basketball team Tuesday night as it suffered its first loss of the season 70-59 at Lincoln University.

Mercury levels in fish are prompting widespread consumption advisories and uncertainty among consumers over which species are safe to eat. Now researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a model that will help scientists and regulators around the country predict which areas are likely to have fish with high mercury levels -- a breakthrough that should help officials address public uncertainty by developing health advisories for specific water bodies and fish species.... more

Eau de Penn State smells of flowers, not football

Masik Collegiate Fragrances says the perfume for the school in State College, Pa., smells of vanilla, lilac, rose and white patchouli. The cologne smells of blue cypress and cracked pepper.

All I want for Christmas is for Bill O’Reilly to visit.
Seriously.
I think that’s the only way my house becomes a No Spin Zone.
As we head into the home stretch for Christmas, my six year old Dale has decided that he needs to be his own Public Relations Rep and try to enhance his standing with Santa Claus. He has asked for a LOT of toys and he’s doing what he can to prove to Santa that he’s worth all the toys.  So far, he’s built a campaign that would m... more

One of the interesting things I found on the Missouri State Auditor website was a report that the Department of Family Services’ totals regarding the amounts owed for child support are “ often inaccurate .” In 79 of 244 cases that were reviewed, the auditor found overstatements from $1 to $455,000 and understatements from $10 to $55,000. (That 79 of 244 is 32% of the cases.)
Given that child support is a big deal for single parents who need it this is an ... more
