Weather chaos spans the nation with snow and floods
Travelers faced snow in the west while the Midwest endured heavy rain and the south dense fog. In the High Sierra a young woman died from exposure near Donner Summit. Evelyn Golding of San Rafael and Keith Ulisse of Norden, both 21, were lost while cross country skiing. Ulisse survived and reported Golding’s death. Rescue teams hunted for more victims from a multi county flood in Nacogdoches Texas that killed three. Flooding affected the lower Mississippi Valley and southern Plateau as roads closed and winds exceeded 30 mph in South Dakota with bitter cold in Maine and heat in Florida.

Welfare recipients want to work says Stanford economist
Stanford economist Michael J. Boskin notes welfare turnover is high with 17 percent on rolls for five years, 27 percent cycling on and off, and 56 percent leaving welfare after gaining employment. He says higher wages and stable jobs encourage work, while non wage income health and childcare influence outcomes. He urges financial incentives to lift recipients off welfare.
