Lyrics:
Tall dark and Lovely is my bride to be
My it's been a long time, since Memphis Tennessee
When Martin was yellin' he was starin' straight at me
Tellin' me that I was prejudiced.
Through the years it stuck and growed till I did change
but I've always been ahead of the rest.

SPOKANE -- This coming Sunday football fans all across the country will be putting a lot of money down on just about everything to do with the Super Bowl. There’s just one problem: Almost all of the betting done will be illegal. Right now the Washington State Gambling Commission is running an ad campaign to try and make it clear very clear that all bets should be off. To that end 73 buses driving around Washington have the “Don’t bet on it” slogan pasted on them. The only form of legal sports betting is a ten by ten square sports board with each square worth a dollar. If you’re ripped off doing any other form of sports betting there's no legal recourse. “We get a lot of calls from spouses, significant others that say their husbands or wives are paying their bookie before they pay their mortgage or car payment or buy groceries and put food on the table," Gary Drumheller with the gambling commission said.
ROCKPORT, Wash. (AP) — The Skagit County sheriff's office says a man has been killed in a logging accident southwest of Rockport. The victim was not immediately identified. Sheriff's Chief Criminal Deputy Will Reichardt says the man was working Friday afternoon in a dangerous area off the Concrete Sauk Valley Road when a piece of equipment hit him and threw him down a steep ravine. A medic crew climbed down to him but crew members were unable to retrieve his body. Reichardt says a helicopter will probably have to do that.
OLYMPIA, Wash. - More medical professionals will be allowed to authorize the use of medical marijuana for qualified patients under a measure approved by the Washington state Senate. On a 37-11 vote Friday, the Senate passed a bill that adds physician assistants, naturopaths and others to the list of those who can officially recommend marijuana for patients under the state's medical marijuana law. Under current law, only physicians are allowed to write the recommendation. The measure now heads to the House for further consideration.

CHENEY, WA. -- Hundreds of students walked out of their noon classes on the Eastern Washington and Washington State University campuses Thursday, protesting state budget cuts that hurt their schools. According to witnesses at WSU, about 100 students peacefully gathered outside Todd Hall on the Glenn Terrell Mall with signs. Pictures from EWU appear to show many more students, possibly a few hundred, also holding signs. The walkout was a statewide public university demonstration. The state is looking to cut funding for higher education as lawmakers try to balance the state budget. Students at Eastern Washington University are worried the changes could cost them their education all together. They left class to send a message to Olympia, enough is enough.
Salish educator Julie Cajune awarded $1.4M grant for ambitious tribal history project
ARLEE - Julie Cajune isn't sure which is more remarkable - how she came to be awarded a grant from the foundation of cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg, or what she'll be able to do with it. The grant, worth $1.4 million, will cover three years, and Cajune will use it to develop some ambitious tribal history materials in a variety of media, including film. Cajune, currently director of development at Nkwusm, the Salish language school in Arlee, loves to talk about that. But the fortuitous series of events that led to the grant is almost a story in itself. Much had already happened before Cajune's phone rang last summer and, out of the blue, and a Kellogg Foundation official urged her to develop a project and apply for a grant: Howard Zinn had written a book.

Portion of closed Sunsine Mine collapses
KELLOGG, Idaho -- A portion of the closed Sunshine Mine complex in Idaho's Silver Valley has collapsed, and there were no injuries. Sterling Mining Co. executive Robert Higdem said some shaft timbers deep in the mine gave way last week, causing a portion of a tunnel to collapse. There were no workers in the area, and the extent of the damage has not been determined. The timber fall occurred in the Silver Summit Shaft above the 3000 level station, according to mine officials. The Mine Safety and Health Administration has been notified of the collapse. The mine has been closed since 2008, but Sterling continues to pump out water in case of a future opening. Mine officials said that the water pumping operations are continuing through the Jewell Shaft and have not been impacted by the collapse in the Silver Summit Shaft.

TODAY: Native Farm Aid: Though Native farmers, on average, own 3.5 times as much land as other farmers (1,400 acres compared to 400 acres), the average Native farmer makes far less than other farmers. In addition, only 13 percent of Native farmers get government subsidies, while about 39 percent of white farmers receiv...e aid. Is the USDA guilty when it comes to lending practices or subsidizing crops?

OAKRIDGE, Ore. (AP) — Efforts to change American Indian mascot names at Oregon high schools has stalled more than two years after a state advisory group suggested a ban on them. All 15 Oregon high schools with team names such as the Warriors, the Braves or the Indians are still using them. Susan Castillo, the state school superintendent, had planned to reconvene the Native American Mascot Advisory Committee to finalize its report and make a recommendation. But the committee has not been reconvened, and Castillo has made no recommendation. Her spokesman said the process has been slow and no immediate action is expected.
