Mark Dayton says he's unsure whether he'll need to call a special legislative session to approve state aid to flood damaged communities. Dayton says he expects a new $3 million disaster assistance account will be exhausted but says he views a special session is a "last recourse." Yesterday, he extended an emergency declaration for 35 counties for another 30 days: <a href="http://kstp.mn/7g4hj">http://kstp.mn/7g4hj</a>.."<br /> <br /> Flooding Moves ‘A Taste Of Minnesota’ To Carver Co.<br /> June 25, 2014 4:57 PM <br /> <a href="http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/06/25/flooding-moves-a-taste-of-minnesota-to-carver-co/">http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2014/06/25/flooding-moves-a-taste-of-minnesota-to-carver-co/</a><br /> MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The venue for “A Taste Of Minnesota” is shifting 40 miles west due to heavy flooding in downtown St. Paul, Minn.<br /> <br /> The festival is moving from Harriet Island to the Carver County Fairgrounds in Waconia, Minn.<br /> <br /> “It’s been trying,” said Linda Maddox, a festival owner. “We talked to so many different places and so many different people.”<br /> <br /> She learned of the official change at about 2 p.m. Wednesday, and she said that some food vendors will likely drop out.<br /> <br /> “I would think with all that extra distance there maybe a couple of food vendors that might pass on this year,” she said.<br /> <br /> Maddox also added that the festival was “truly welcomed” by Waconia and the Carver County Fair.<br /> <br /> ‘Taste’ will be held from July 3 – 6, and will feature performances from bands such as Soul Asylum, Starship, Badfinger and Tina & The B-Sides.<br /> <br /> Admission is free daily from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., and $10 from 3 p.m. – 11 p.m.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/hY9CGWv4rd72">https://goo.gl/maps/hY9CGWv4rd72</a>

On February 11th, the day celebrates the genius behind invention while digging into the history behind some of our most unusual designs.<br /> <br /> What do Ermal Fraze, Thomas Adams, Melitta Bentz, and Stephen Perry all have in common? They are recognized annually on February 11th, along with the likes of the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison, George Washington Carver, and Elisha Otis.<br /> <br /> Thanks to inventors, we can safely ride in an elevator, have a well-lit room at the flip of a switch, speak to someone on the other side of the world or efficiently pump lotion from a bottle. Many inventors go their whole life without recognition for their creations while others are household names. Nearly everything around us is the result of someone tinkering in their garage, laboratory, or basement trying to find a solution to a problem.<br /> <br /> Some inventions may be happy accidents by an observant person; the microwave oven, penicillin, sticky notes, and bubble wrap may never have made their way into their current use if it were not for sharp or persistent inventors.<br /> <br /> “Necessity is the mother of invention.”<br /> The proverb “Necessity is the mother of invention” says a lot about how inventors look at life. They are a progressive, forward-thinking bunch. Where would we be without pacemakers, traffic signals, rubber bands, or coffee filters?<br /> <br /> Though there are some inventions that we may be better off without. A DVD re-winder doesn’t quite fit the necessary criteria. Or, they are otherwise too impractical. For example, tugging around a stroller fridge for your watermelon along with the cooler and beach umbrella seems to be a bit of overkill. Still, without inventors, the world would be downright dull and much more challenging.<br /> <br /> Inventors should keep track of their ideas, processes, ingredients, and components. Protect your inventions and get your unique creations patented.<br /> <br /> HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalInventorsDay<br /> Inventors around the country, take a bow. Keep tinkering. Keep seeking a cure, a fix, and improvements to our everyday life. Take time to recognize an inventor and encourage them to keep creating the next great invention.<br /> <br /> Use #NationalInventorsDay to share on social media.<br /> <br /> Educators, visit the National Day Calendar® Classroom for a lesson designed for National Inventors’ Day.<br /> <br /> NATIONAL INVENTORS’ DAY HISTORY<br /> In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first National Inventors’ Day and takes place every year on Thomas Edison’s birthday.<br /> <br /> There are over 1,500 national days. Don’t miss a single one.
