A dark-eyed junco, an American goldfinch, and a house finch feed on sunflower seeds on a snowy day. Bird watchers report that cold weather influences how much they feed birds, more so than time or money. Photo by Cynthia Raught.

Murnane says he doesn’t envy writers of ‘imaginative’ fiction because it doesn’t seem a prophylactic against ‘faulty writing’, and alludes dismissively to the elaborately imagined pharaonic Egypt in Mailer’s Ancient Evenings. He thinks of the imagination as a remnant of crude psychology, a faculty that might be located in one or another ‘swellings’ located on a schoolboy’s anatomical map of the brain, one he happens to lack.

The Portuguese police closed their investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance on July 21, 2008, but reopened their probe in 2013, citing “new evidence.” The McCanns said they welcomed the development, which saw ground-penetrating radar used at three sites near Praia da Luz in an effort to unearth more clues.  

Law enforcement noticed a latch lock on the sliding glass window in the room, which the McCanns thought but weren’t sure they had locked at the start of their stay. Officials later learned cleaners would often open the shutters and windows in the rooms they were tending to air them out, so it was impossible to determine if the window was or was not locked that night.

It’s funny how the same people who claim that North Texas is just a mid-major school and play nobody are the same people in line to interview the assistants. Programs like Southern California, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss and Texas Tech dismiss the Mean Green as a “laughing stock,” but leach the coaching staff dry, then get embarrassed when they pay North Texas to play. Don’t forget the 44-17 routing of the Arkansas Razorbacks last year on top of a SportsCenter Top 10 play from Keegan Brewer and the special teams staff.

Complete with a spring, big creek and smaller creek, Jecman added a teardrop waterfall feature with a large koi pond, custom-made wooden arches and pathways that allow guests to wander by flowering pants, handmade, whimsical sculptures and a hand-cut stone structure.

Crowley, one of the last of the Irish machine politicians, had safely sailed to reelection to the House for a decade, often without even a primary challenger. But the 29-year-old AOC, as she is colloquially known, beat him in the primary with 57 percent of the vote—a number that sounds impressive until you realize that it was a mere 15,897 votes to Crowley’s 11,761, a difference of 4,136 votes. In the foregone-conclusion general election, she beat the Republican tomato can, Anthony Pappas, 110,000 to 18,000. Pappas was so indifferent to the outcome that he brushed aside offers to help and did not actively campaign.

“For the category “Higher Education,” the state spent $2.4 billion in 2007. It spent about $100 million less ten years later, or a total of $2.3 billion.”

Whether “stepping stone” or “launching pad”, one thing is sure, better to be where NT is now than “last resort” as the program was 5 years ago.

That second morning I also found scat, or bear droppings, in the front yard. But it was small, so I thought perhaps this bear wasn’t too big. However, we managed to get a game camera image of it standing in front of a snag whose height we know, and it was not a small bear.

Everything in his display is an antique, he said, as he pointed at brass gates and benches in his garden. His garden was adorned with unique metal sculptures of koi fish which could be purchased at a stand nearby. Hughson also mentioned that he is looking for summertime college employees to drive and put plants together.
