BOISE — As Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter pores over thousands of requests from public officials and private companies for a taste of more than $1 billion in federal stimulus headed to Idaho, south-central Idaho could see its own share come through state projects with some of the biggest price tags. At the top of the list is a $10 million Coming request from the University of Idaho to Monday help fund the planned Find out which $36 million livestock Magic Valley research center slated governmental, for the Magic Valley. charitable and Then there’s the Twin for-profit entities Falls Alternate Route, are hoping to or Highway 93\30 receive stimulus junction, now esti- funding for projects. mated at $40 million. Finally, the state’s branch of Homeland Security wants $4.9 million for a statewide wildfire mitigation communications system, which would create 23 jobs. The requests, due last Wednesday, are being reviewed by Otter’s Division of Financial Management before going to an advisory stimulus committee made up of former governors and budget directors. He’ll meet with that panel Monday and give the Legislature his own recommendations in about a week.

HOUSTON — Until a few weeks ago, Tim Edwards was just another one of the men begging for change at a busy Houston underpass, ignored by most drivers who sped on past without a glance. Now, thanks to an Internet marketing campaign and unlikely allies, Edwards has become the human face of homelessness to thousands of online viewers drawn to his Web site by its deliberately controversial name — Pimp This Bum. During regular Webcasts, dozens of visitors to http://www.pimpthisbum.com/ ask questions about Edwards’ life and his slow fall from office manager with a home, a car, and a future to an outcast short of hope and The Twin Sisters formation in the City of Rocks, about 50 miles south of Rupert, is where Noreen Boyd’s car was found in 1989.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A senior U.S. envoy visiting Syria said Saturday that there of Rewards! is common ground between Washington and Damascus but cautioned not to expect an immediate breakthrough after years of tense relations. There were few tangible results from Saturday’s meeting, part of the Obama administration’s effort to engage with America’s foes. But both sides clearly showed they wanted better relations, despite differences such as Syria’s backing for militants and its alliance with Iran. Jeffrey Feltman, top diplomat on the Mideast, said he had a “very constructive’’ dis- cussion with Syria’s foreign minister and a presidential adviser. “We found a lot of common ground today,’’ he told reporters. “But in terms ‘do we expect this result or that result out of this particular meeting?’ I think that’s simply unrealistic at this point.’’ The U.S. withdrew its ambassador to Syria in 2005 following the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The killing in Beirut was widely blamed on Syria. Differences between the two countries “will require more work,’’ Feltman said. “I would expect that the Syrians will be thinking about what Visit our website at we had to say, just as we’ll be thinking about what the www.firstfd.com Syrians had to say, and each of 7ZLQ)DOOV5XSHUW-HURPH%XKO%XUOH\.LPEHUO\ us can look to see if there are *5.01% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) paid on balances between one penny and $25,000, and 1.01% APY paid on all amounts above $25,000 each cycle the minimum qualifications are met.

Carlos Zambrano is trying to win the Chicago Cubs’ opening-day start. Johan Santana just needs to convince the Mets he’s healthy enough to take the ball for New York’s first game. Zambrano acknowledged Saturday that he wants to start Chicago’s opener at Houston on April 6. “I care,” he said during a 2-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Phoenix. “When you’re retired and you go home and your grandkids ask you what you did, for your own records it’s good.” Cubs manager Lou Piniella said earlier in the day the first start will go to Zambrano or Ryan Dempster. Zambrano was 14-6 with a 3.91 ERA last year, and Dempster finished 17-6 with a 2.96 ERA. Piniella said he would talk to both pitch- ers before making his decision. “My answer would be me,” Zambrano said. “And I guarantee you that (Dempster’s) answer would be him.” AP photo Jeff Suppan yielded three hits in three United States outfielder Adam Dunn (17) celebrates as he crosses home plate after hitting a two-run home run as Canada catcher Russell Martin looks away during sixth innings against the Cubs.

ou’ll never believe what “Y the doctor said today,” my wife said as I walked into the house. She didn’t bother to greet me, scold me, embrace me or warn me of another appliance breaking down. In other words, this was major news. “He’s big. He’s real big.

Doctors usu- A new ally figure this by measuring the baby’s weight and height, then the diameter of his or her head (the baby’s, not the doctor’s).

Your child may also qualify for lifetime membership in Mensa International. Or maybe, it just means he’s very fat and long. Fact is, these charts really determine nothing about a baby’s physical outcome, other than to show over the course of a child’s first year times whether he is making healthy progress. Still, we can’t help but be amazed. The kid is the fastest growing child In this economy, we’ve ever had in a litter of runts.
