Midwife Karen Carr, convicted in Alexandria baby?s death, is under investigation in Md.
Last week, Karen Carr was convicted of two felonies for her role in the September death of a baby boy she delivered in an Alexandria home. This week, her cellphone keeps ringing with women who want her to deliver their babies.
Carr, 55, is a sought-after midwife willing to take on challenging births at home. By her count, she has delivered about 1,200 of the region?s children over the past two decades, and she has been operating illegally because she does not have a state license.
The Alexandria delivery was the beginning of what she has called the ?unraveling? of her practice. Carr has since been banned from delivering babies in Virginia as part of her plea agreement.

Be verwy verwy quiet, we're redistricting
GREENSBORO, NC -- Yes!Weekly's Jordan Green asks the question I was asking myself when the press release hit my mail box after dinner last night: why is a proposed redistricting of City Council districts being announced on a Friday night?
Jordan:
Jordan:
Here's hoping we can have a forthright and transparent discussion about the relative merits of any proposed changes instead of five council members secretly conferring and then rush-approving a new map before the public even has a chance to weigh in.

"Wednesday Looks Like Trouble"
So says the National Weather Service's Norman, OK office in their forecast discussion. I agree.
Please keep up on the weather in the yellow-tinted areas Wednesday and keep a very close watch if you are in the red area where tornadoes are quite likely.

~ Two main coastal plains breakouts active ~ ~Action under Kilauea Caldera~
Above, This photo is of the western branch in the foreground and Pulama Pali fuming and steaming this morning after a rain shower swept though the area. That is where the pali still hosts numerous breakouts and can be seen as orange-red orbs from the viewing area after dark.I finally got back out to the western branch of this ongoing surface flow that continues advancing in a sprawling fashion across the coastal plains. This western branch is nearly 1 3/4-miles southwest from the intersection of highway 130 and Kalapana Gardens access road. It lies north-northwest of the old Quarry kipuka 1000-ft. and covers many acres.
Above: One of the many leading fingers of the western lava branch as it surges out of a higher mound. The overall western flow meanders on both sides of the massively inflated July Quarry flow lava tube uplifts of 2010, but has not reentered them. This is the closest front of moving lava to the ocean but is still over a mile from entering it.
Shown above, The eastern most branch is still in the same area as a few days ago but is slowly filling in low areas and heading east and southeast at only 100-ft per day, therefore is still over 2000-ft from Kalapana Gardens.
Meanwhile, high up the mountain the two big craters have been rather eruptive these past few days according to the daily USGS/HVO Kilauea updates. Escalated earth tremor/quakes have geologists on alert for possible significant changes to the eruption activity at Halema?uma?u, Kilauea caldera and the Pu`u O`o vicinity. They reported 40 quakes for March 2nd, 48 on March 3rd and 25 yesterday.
The Pu`u O`o crater has had some effusion episodes worth noting that have produced some dramatic lava cones and rivers on the crater's floor. One of these events was documented in a really cool movie clip composite and can be found on the USGS/HVO Images page linked below or on this direct link: USGS/HVO Pu`u O`o crater cam movie.
The Halema?uma?u crater floor pit vent has had more of its rim collapse, falling down over 230 ft. into the lava lake. The overlook cam caught them spectacularly ?check out the action and some related audio clips on the USGS image page!
Very large pahoehoe folds way out on the coastal plains lavascape - a black & white photo.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As usual, I will try to post my next update in a few days unless some more exciting lava developments take place in the meantime ;) (I usually post my blogs between 11:00 AM and Noon if I am reporting for the same day I have walked the flow fields)
You can always get onsite coastal lava flow information and viewing conditions by phoning Janguard lava viewing security management who are stationed along the access road at the end of Highway 130 from 2:00 PM until 10:00 PM daily: 430-1966

On Saturn?s moon Titan, spring rains but no spring flowers
At last, spring has sprung. Heavy, persistent rains have arrived sometimes overflowing riverbeds and gullies. River and lake ice have thawed. Tropical weather systems are migrating north. And at northern latitudes, average temperatures have finally risen above the freezing point of -297 degrees F. 297 degres F below zero? Did you catch that? There is no error. I?m not talking about freezing/melting point of water, but rather methane. And the coming of spring is occurring not on Earth but on Titan, the largest moon of the planet Saturn.

The baby photo that upset some people
Our controversy of the week in the airline industry is apparently this photo, right, of a little baby getting patted down by a Transportation Security Administration officer as Little Baby was going through a Kansas City International Airport checkpoint.
According to published reports, something set off a detector that hinted at traces of explosives, so officers made sure nobody was hiding anything.
Having raised two children, I can attest that baby diapers can conceal some pretty dangerous stuff, evident from several feet away.
In any case, the Independence, Mo., pastor who took the photo and posted it on Twitter now regrets doing so and has apologized to the mother, who contacted him after seeing the photo.
I'm getting these details from an Associated Press story. To learn more, read it yourself.
When I flew on the special AirTran flight to Atlanta last week, I had to submit to the enhanced TSA patdown before being allowed on the airplane. The TSA official was very pleasant, but thorough, and I felt one of us should have sent the other some roses the next morning.

AP/GfK poll: Are the numbers too good to be true?
On Wednesday morning, Democrats were buoyed by the new polling data released by AP (and conducted by their longtime polling partners at GfK). The numbers, to the eyes of Dems, were almost too good to be true: 60% job approval, 53% re-elect, and the best right track/wrong track numbers in years.
It didn't take long for some number-crunchers on the right to insist that, indeed, the numbers were too good to be true. Case in point, the resident horserace analyst over at The National Review, Jim Geraghty:
46 percent [in the poll's sample] identify as Democrat or leaning Democrat, 29 percent identify as Republican or leaning Republican, 4 percent identify as purely independent leaning towards neither party, and 20 percent answered, ?I don?t know.?For contrast, the AP?s immediate preceding poll was 45 percent Democrat, 33 percent Republican; the likely-voter pool in October 2010 was 43 percent Democrat, 48 percent Republican. The poll?s total sample in October 2010 split 43 percent Democrat, 40 percent Republican.
With a poll sample that has a 17-percentage-point margin in favor of the Democrats, is anyone surprised that these results look like a David Axelrod dream?
Does Geraghty have a point? Yes...and no.
Without question, a seventeen-point spread on the question of partisan identification, in either direction, would demonstrate considerably less parity than we typically expect in American political polling. Democrats have historically enjoyed a narrow edge on the issue of party ID (even in the absolutely abysmal 2010 midterms, where the Democratic base stayed home in droves, the party ID of that electorate was evenly split). However, Democratic advantages to the tune of seventeen percent are, to put it charitably, unusual.
The problem is, when analyzing a polling sample for potential tea leaves, party ID might be one of the least reliable ways to do so. Anyone who has ever read the comments section of any political website (including this one), in the midst of a major news event, knows that a pretty sizeable share of the electorate can shed their partisan identification, or reapply it, with astonishing ease. In a time when the President is enjoying a lift, it's not surprising that more voters are willing to identify with his party. Conversely, in a time when there is a wave of discontent in the ranks of the GOP, it is not surprising to see fewer people self-identify with the party.
What's more: AP goes out of its way to press Independents to get off the fence and pick a side. So, Independents are a MUCH smaller proportion in this poll (4%!) than they are in any other poll of recent vintage. Normally, this means elevated numbers for Republicans and Democrats (which split 43-40 in the AP/GfK poll in October 2008).
Why were the Republican numbers not elevated in this poll (indeed, this is fewer Republicans than have been noted in an AP poll in three years)? The answer may very well be the Teabaggers. A startlingly high 20% of respondents said that they "don't know" their partisan affiliation. It's likely that these folks are those self-same teabaggers who espouse all things right-wing, but cannot bring themselves to call themselves Republicans.
By other metrics, that are quite a bit more stable, this is a pretty fair sample. If it tilts left, it is only by a small measure.
Take, for example, ideology. A look at the complete poll (PDF) shows that the sample is 23% liberal and 38% conservative. That is a net edge of 15 points to the conservatives. That actually strikes a pretty decent midpoint between the 2010 exit polls (where the split was 20/42, or Conservative +22) and the 2008 exit polls (where the split was 22/34, or Conservative +12).
Looking at other demographic details: the AP/GfK poll is only slightly less white (71%) than either the 2008 or 2010 exit polls, but there are pretty sizeable differences on income (only 15% identified their income as over $100K, compared to roughly a quarter of voters in 2008 and 2010) and age (this sample skewed quite young).
Given that younger and less wealthy voters historically would be among the Democratic base (although perhaps a bit less so recently), those would tweak the numbers a bit. But the key words here may well be "a bit."
Democrats would probably be doing themselves a disservice to presume, from this single political snapshot, that all is well with the electorate. But Republicans would be equally misguided to look at one demographic detail in the poll, declare it an invalid document, and presume that their own electoral viability is still assured.

Osama To Al-Qaeda: 'Don't Bother Assassinating Joe Biden'
Trivial though it may be, how could we not post this story...
US officials have revealed that Osama bin Laden’s diaries contain the rather startling conclusion that he didn’t think Vice President Joe Biden was worth bumping off (hat tip: a tweet from my New York colleague Jon Swaine).
According to ProPublica, the Obama administration is briefing that Barack Obama was bin Laden’s the “top target” (no surprise there) while “military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the defense secretary” were also major scalps.
But Joe Biden’s scalp (hair plugs and all)? Apparently, not so much. A counterterrorism official said: “There is a note indicating that the vice president is not an important target because that position has less weight.”
Funniest headline I've seen in 29 months of running the site...
