A scary situation at a Walmart in Washington state last week.

According to Reuters, a 47-year-old was bitten in the hand by a rattlesnake last Friday in the garden section of a Walmart store in Clarkston, Wash. The man killed the snake by stomping on it, according to the Reuters report.

Yemen: US gives help in new assault on al-Qaida

SANAA, Yemen (AP) ? Yemeni warplanes and troops backed by heavy artillery waged a four-front assault on al-Qaida militants Tuesday, trying to uproot their hold in the southern desert with the help of a team of U.S. troops at a nearby air base.

The central U.S. role in the operation would be a significant stepping up of American-Yemeni cooperation against al-Qaida's local branch, which is accused of a string of attempted attacks against U.S. targets.

The offensive signaled increased concern over the growing strength of al-Qaida in Yemen since the militants gained control of several southern towns by taking advantage of the security vacuum during an uprising that led to the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

Yemeni troops battled the militants on the ground in three areas as warplanes bombed suspected hideouts. Military officials said the main goal was to retake Zinjibar, the provincial capital of Abyan province.

Yemen's ill-equipped and poorly trained military repeatedly has stumbled in trying to fight al-Qaida ever since the militants seized territory last year. But since Saleh's resignation in February, his successor, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, has vowed to make the fight against al-Qaida a top priority.

The effort is supported by the U.S., which considers al-Qaida's offshoot in Yemen the network's most active. On Sunday, the White House's top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, met with Hadi in the capital Sanaa.

Hadi's office later said the Yemeni leader briefed Brennan on the army's progress in the south, which Defense Minister Mohammed Nasser Ahmed described as the "final decisive battle against al-Qaida."

The visit followed the revelation that the CIA had thwarted an ambitious plot by al-Qaida's affiliate in Yemen to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner using a new, sophisticated underwear bomb. But the bomber was actually a double agent who turned the bomb over to the U.S. government.

Several Yemeni military officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday that unlike previous, failed offensives against al-Qaida, this time the United States was providing direct logistical support to the Yemeni military.

The officials said an air base called al-Annad in the southern province of Lahj is serving as a command center for nearly 60 U.S. troops who were providing advice, information and logistical support to Yemeni troops.

The Yemeni military officials, who are familiar with the workings of the army in the south, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the highly sensitive cooperation. The U.S. Embassy in Sanaa could not be reached for comment.

On Sunday, al-Qaida fighters attempted an attack from the northern gate of al-Annad air, close to the troops' living quarters, but were repelled. One Yemeni officer was killed in the attack, the officials said, and the Yemeni military later deployed heavy troops to protect the air base.

The Pentagon said a week ago that it had sent military trainers back to Yemen for "routine" counterterrorism cooperation with Yemeni security forces.

"We have begun to reintroduce small numbers of trainers into Yemen," a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt. John Kirby, told reporters.

Another American official said the arriving troops were special operations forces, who work under more secretive arrangements than conventional U.S. troops and whose expertise includes training indigenous forces. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the subject publicly.

The U.S. military training program in Yemen was suspended last year amid the revolt against Saleh. Under the former president, Washington had greatly expanded counterterrorism aid, at one point having between 100 and 150 trainers there.

The U.S. also has a substantial naval presence near Yemen. A Marine contingent aboard U.S. Navy ships arrived in the area over the weekend on a routine rotation. It includes the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, with about 2,000 Marines aboard vessels including the amphibious assault ship Iwo Jima. Also in the group is the USS New York, an amphibious transport dock ship that was built with more than seven tons of steel from the World Trade Center. It is the New York's maiden deployment.

Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, was behind the failed Christmas 2009 attempt to bomb an American airliner as well as a foiled attempt the following year to mail package bombs to the U.S.

The large offensive began Saturday but sharply escalated on Monday.

By Tuesday, Yemeni troops had pushed into the center of Zinjibar and military helicopters were flying over the city for the first time in an indication that al-Qaida militants did not have heavy weaponry capable of shooting them down, one military official said.

The troops "can for the first time catch a glimpse of the torched government buildings" in which al-Qaida's fighters had hunkered down during the battles that turned the downtown into a ghost city after thousands of residents fled, the official said. He added that six militants were captured in Zinjibar, but provided no other details on casualties on either side.

To the north, in the town of Jaar, warplanes were bombing al-Qaida hideouts Tuesday, according to the officials. One raid destroyed parts of a house, leaving two militants' bodies' charred. When local residents went to inspect the site of the attack, a second raid mistakenly killed eight of them and wounded 20, the officials said.

The military also managed to drive militants out of the town of Hurour, to the west of Zinjibar, the officials said.

Abdu Dail, who fled Hurour with his family on Sunday, said most of the townspeople left after the military warned them about the upcoming offensive. Later Sunday, warplanes bombed the town, killing at least 30 al-Qaida militants.

To the east of Zinjibar, the military on Tuesday bombed al-Qaida hideouts in an area called Youssef Mountain on the outskirts of the town of Lawder. The town's residents, backed by the military, last year drove al-Qaida fighters who had overrun Lawder out but the militants tried to make a comeback.

Clashes following the bombardment killed two soldiers and two civilian volunteers, officials said. Eight bodies of al-Qaida militants were found but it wasn't clear when they were killed. The Yemeni officials all declined to be identified because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

ELDER LAW, ESTATE PLANNING - A DISCUSSION WORTH ...

Baby Boomers are discovering that one of life?s most difficult passages is when the child becomes the caretaker for his or her parents. Tough subjects and hard choices can leave us paralyzed when we need to act quickly.

Communication, early and often, is critical.

The primary problem with understanding and caring for elderly loved ones lies in recognizing a deteriorating mental condition. Alzheimer?s, for one, affects one in eight persons over the age of 65. Simple dementia, on the other hand, is difficult to define,but far more Americans within that age group suffer from it.

If your elderly loved ones may be susceptible to Alzheimer?s or dementia, there are certain warning signs to recognize and steps to take. While there is no consensus on exactly how to approach the problem, a recent SmartMoneyarticle titled Talking to Mom About Alzheimer?s and Her Moneyprovides some practical advice on understanding and discussing the problem.

Simply put, there are red flags that cannot be ignored. It is necessary to address this subject with your elderly loved one and begin to take steps to provide for their interests and care. At a minimum, make sure fundamental legal documents are signed while your loved one is mentally capable of understanding. Such documents should include Advance Health Directives, a Living Will, a Financial Durable Power of Attorney and a Last Will.

Here?s the bottom line: if you and your loved one wait too late to have ?the conversation? and take action, then the result may be unnecessary legal fees, courts and costs.

Leeco to connect with Union Pacific main line

Crews have begun dirt work on an $11 million, 10-mile Union Pacific railroad project that will connect with a spur into the heart of the Leeco Business Park.

The line will parallel Business 20 beginning from Cargo Road in Odessa to West Loop 250 in Midland and will carry sand, pipe and crude oil to and from drilling sites to businesses.

?We started building the segment next to the line that exists now to accommodate growth,? Union Pacific Spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza-Williams said. ?Part of the line will be near the Leeco properties, and businesses there will build rail spurs to the industrial lead.?

An industrial lead is a section of track that connects to a main line.

The Leeco Business Park, which opened in 2008, is located east of Faudree Road between Interstate 20 and Business 20 and doubled in size around two months ago from an 800-acre area to a 1,600-acre area.

Larry Lee, owner of Leeco Properties, said the prospect of a spur arose after businesses told him they needed rail access. Lee said 30 businesses are committed to the recently expanded plot.

?Since the park was fronting along the railroad, we inquired about a spur and Union Pacific was interested,? Lee said. ?Rail access is very valuable and has been for several years. In West Texas, we?re in short supply of it.?

Lee said the project is expected to be finished in September.

Espinoza-Williams said similar railroad project activity has increased in the Eagle Ford Shale area, near San Antonio and Laredo.

The Gardendale Railroad in La Salle County and between Laredo and San Antonio was basically not in service, but has recently expanded to support new operations, Espinoza-Williams said.

?When you think about the material in those amounts, it?s a lot more efficient to move it on a train rather than on a truck,? Espinoza-Williams said. ?For the community, it means fewer trucks on the road, and really, it?s a win-win for everyone.?

One rail car is capable of holding 70 to 100 tons of sand.

?Some of these shippers have the need to move significant amounts of material into the area and we?re in the perfect position to do that because our infrastructure is already set up,? Espinoza-Williams said.

Additionally, Lee said there are plans to extend Faudree Road south from where it ends at Business 20 to connect with Interstate 20.

?I guess you could say I had vision, but you couldn?t say the same when I bought that land,? Lee said. ?I had no Plan B. I knew we could sell the land, but I didn?t know how well. It (the park) has been exceeding our expectations.?

The Knowles: Two great articles

If you have some spare time this week, here are two excellent articles (small excerpts below) by Kristen Howerton, an adoptive mom. I love her words and couldn't agree more.

http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/2012/05/where-is-mommy-war-for-motherles...

"I don?t much care if you breastfed your kid until they started kindergarten, or if you fed them formula from day one. I don?t really care if you turned your infant car-seat forward-facing prior to age 2, or if you homeschool, or if you send your kids to daycare while you go to work. Do you cosleep? Did you circumcise your son? I DON?T CARE.? Do you babywear? Push your kid around in a stroller? Use a leash for your kid at Disneyland?? Whatever.? Good for you.?

When it comes to issues of motherhood, there is one issue I care about:?some kids don?t have one. All of these petty wars about the choices of capable, loving mothers is just a lot of white noise to me, Quite honestly, I?m often astonished at the non-essential parenting issues I see moms getting their panties in a wad about. Particularly when there are so many kids in this world not being parented?at all."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kristen-howerton/mothers-day-adoptive-parent_b_...

"Probably the most common concern I hear from people who are considering adoption is whether or not they will be able to love a child that isn't "their own".? I can tell you, though, that the moment my first son was placed in my arms, he was very much my own. My love for my children is not dependent on our biological connection.? Adoptive families, step-parents, and blended families know well that family bonds transcend biology, and that family connections can be formed in many ways."
"Adoptive parenting is not a noble pursuit, and I squirm a little any time I hear people perpetuating the narrative that adoptive parents are saviors. While it's certainly true that adoption can save a child from a life of living in an orphanage, adopted children should not be required to bestow special gratitude to their parents.? Adoptive parents are regular, imperfect people.? Adoptees have the same rights as biological children to be resentful, annoyed, or ungrateful towards their parents, without being reminded that they've been "saved" by their parents."

The Next Yellowstone Supereruption Is Closer Than You Think [Volcanos]

The good news: scientists have discovered that "the Yellowstone super-volcano is a little less super than previously thought." The bad news: the Yellowstone super-volcano is "more active than previously thought." That means eruptions are more frequent. So the next one is likely closer than previously predicted. Gulp.
