| A Father's NFL Draft Diary
I go into another room and call Gary (Jeremy's agent). I ask him if he knows whether any team in this round has an interest in Jeremy. He tells me perhaps St. Louis and Philly. We hang up the call. More nerves. I return to the living room and watch as St. Louis picks someone else. New England picks next and Philly is on deck.
Then, the phone rings.
Jeremy is telling me he doesn't recognize the number. When he answers the GM asks him how he would like to be an Eagle. The room erupts. The cameras are rolling. It is pandemonium. I see his name flash across the screen.
Tears form in my eyes.
The rush of emotion which has been held in has its chance to flow. I am in shock. Not merely because he was drafted, but also because he is now heading to my hometown.
New Mexico joins lawsuit against EPA
New Mexico has joined 14 states in a lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency because the agency refused to grant a waiver to California for the Clean Car program. California filed the lawsuit on Jan. 2 in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The New Mexico Attorney General's office is representing the state in the lawsuit. New Mexico became the 13th state, and the first Intermountain state, to adopt the Clean Car program last month. The program, which took effect Jan. 1, requires car manufacturers to sell and lease vehicles that meet the Clean Car standards beginning with model year 2011. The program only applies to new vehicles and will not affect new or used cars sold before that model year. The program requires reductions in tailpipe emissions to reduce air pollution, overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles sold in the state and sales of some zero emission vehicles in the state.
