YOUNGTOWN, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a 16-year-old boy has been arrested for allegedly bringing a loaded gun to his high school and threatening another student.
Maricopa County Sheriff's officials say the teen was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon after he exited a school bus.
Deputies say they questioned the boy, searched his belongings and found a .25-caliber handgun.
The unidentified juvenile was being held on suspicion of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, misconduct involving weapons and theft.
Deputies say the teen allegedly brought the gun to Dysart High School in El Mirage, west of Phoenix.
A 14-year-old Dysart student claims he was threatened by the older boy at a bus stop Tuesday morning in Youngtown.
The younger boy went home and told his mother, who notified authorities.
Statement by the Dysart School District
High School is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment
for all of our students. The safest schools are the ones where parents,
students, staff and community members work in partnership to identify and
resolve situations that could impact the safety of the campus. Yesterday
an incident was discovered after school that required police assistance.
Yesterday after school it was reported that a student had
brought a weapon to school. Upon investigation by the Maricopa County
Sheriff's Department, the report proved to be accurate. The police
department apprehended the student responsible, off campus, and completed their
investigation in a timely manner.
Dysart High School worked
cooperatively with the police department to ensure the safety and well being of
all students. All responding organizations did an excellent job of
working together with Dysart staff in handling this situation.

We're Talking Rescue and More
With special guest Christie Keith of Maddie's Matchmaker Adoptathon
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Hi, everyone! I'm looking forward to talking to you about some of the things we've learned about pet adoption -- why people do it, why they don't, and what we can do to convince those who are on the fence to adopt. A few of the most effective strategies we've identified going against the conventional wisdom.
I'll be checking in all day. Thanks for stopping by. And if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Maddie's Matchmaker Adoptathon will be held all this coming weekend at over 80 locations in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties -- check http://www.maddiesadoptathon.org/ for more info!

Hi Christie,
Many of our dogs attend a good solid obedience class, most puppies under a year, and those that respond to in home training and community socialization are usually middle of the road gwp's we work with ourselves.
We also form a strong friendship with our adopters, so they can feel comfortable to let us know if an issue or problem arises...
Submitted by SaraG | June 1 2011 | Permalink
Hi Christie, I am part of a really small organization and I feel like there's so much online that we get pounded by the big websites and bloggers. How can we get attention for the 20 to 30 dogs we place each year?
Sara, are you asking how you can get adopters for your available dogs, or are you asking in general about how to raise the profile of your organization?
Submitted by SaraG | June 1 2011 | Permalink
Both. How can we use the internet effectively to get people interested in our dogs--especially when were small.
Hi Sara,
We just adopted a dog from a small agency, and we found our dog and the agency on Petfinder. I really don't know what is involved in getting your organization on Petfinder, but I do know that many, many people I know look there early on in the adoption process. My sister in law was even looking for dogs in our area on Petfinder, and she lives all the way across the country! It let her have a part in tracking down the perfect pup for her brother and I.
Good luck! Keep up the good work!
I see Melissa got there first with my best recommendation -- maximizing your Petfinder presence!
On Petfinder, the size of your organization is invisible and irrelevent to adopters. They will be responding to the pet.
And as a small organization, you have a lot of flexibility to try new things and really give every pet the full treatment. That means GREAT, clear photos. It means HAPPY, upbeat adoption listings that play up the great personality of the pet.
I wrote something about this for Maddie's Fund:
As for raising your group's profile in general, I would suggest participating in collaborative adoption events in your area, and using media releases and cultivate relationships with local media, including bloggers. Are these things you're already doing?
Submitted by Claudia Kawczynska | June 1 2011 | Permalink
Hi Christie—
Claudia, one of the interesting things we found doing the research for The Shelter Pet Project, the Ad Council PSA campaign promoting adoption, which Maddie's Fund is sponsoring with HSUS, is that 1.5 million people have made the decision to get their pet (dog or cat) from a breeder in the next year, 5 million have definitely decided to get their pet from a shelter, and 17 million are getting a pet but have not yet made up their mind whether they'll adopt or get their pet some other way.
We only need to convince 3 million of those 17 million to do what they are already considering doing, get their new pet from a shelter, and every treatable or healthy cat or dog in America will have found a home.
By focusing on a message of "don't buy, adopt!", we're kind of shooting ourselves in the foot, because we're not addressing the REAL reasons those 17 million people don't adopt. It's because they worry that pets in shelters have "baggage" -- health or behavior problems. Our competition isn't pets from breeders, it's the myths and stereotypes about shelter pets.
Many of us in the animal welfare movement inadvertently reinforce that negative stereotype by presenting adoption in terms of guilt, or the pets as victims of human cruelty, neglect or abuse. That kind of messaging works really well to get people to DONATE to a cause, and it works pretty well on people who are already involved in rescue, but if we want to expand the market share of shelters, we have to market shelter pets to people who are not already responding to our messaging.
And that means, instead of doubling down on the guilt/grief message we've used for so long, we have to think in terms of making shelter adoption fun and happy. Adopting a pet should be JOYFUL. There should be good customer service, convenient shelter hours, and the pets should be marketed with positive, upbeat messages.
I think we'll find as we shift our messaging that we're reaching a whole new market of adopters. :)

Great response! I'm a HUGE advocate for adopting pets but I find myself getting stuck on both sides that you mention above!
Submitted by Kerry | June 1 2011 | Permalink
Maura, great point! I am far more likely to mention my dog is a rescue to explain negative behavior - such as why I think he is barking at you in all of your tallness and baseball cap and sunglasses - than when he is being awesome and sweet. It just doesn't seem as relevant then since clearly his awesomeness has to do with our great rapport and not to his background... :) Going forward, I'll have to think about when I mention he is a rescue and why I'm doing it. I am sure if I look for them, there are lots of positive opportunities that I'm letting slide by.
Great response, Christie! I've been talking to everyone I know since we adopted our pup, about how wonderful the adoption process was, how great it was to talk to our dog's foster family, who had experienced his personality, had kids over to meet him, and cats, too. We got the best matched dog ever, without ever having met him, just by talking to the people involved in his rescue. It was very joyous, and you are so right...more people need to see that side of things!
My small dog was a real mess when adopted from a shelter -- health issues, missing teeth, flea allergy dermatitis, heartworm, thin, scared, etc. Within a few months, she turned into a very cute little dog. I taught her lots of tricks so that she engages people and they think she is so clever and so smart. So you can imagine, they are always shocked when I say she was adopted from a shelter and has turned out to be the best companion ever ... going on 9.5 years!

This is an EXCELLENT post Christie! THIS story itself of the how/why/why not, should be the central theme for a PSA/other related messaging. Spell..it..out to people in some form of push/pull media. Because this would be TRUE education!
Thanks for your hard work!
On an aside, I lost my lil' girl Kenya, a black fluffy Pomeranian in January - hardest day of my life. She was 16 and definitely my daughter. My birthday is this weekend, Maddie's event this weekend, hmmm could be time!

I am SOOO excited about his weekends event!!! The shelter I volunteer at adopted out over 80 pets last year during this event! What a great idea- thank you Maddie's Fund!!!!
Submitted by Claudia Kawczynska | June 1 2011 | Permalink
Another question, I hear that Maddie is going to build a shelter in the Bay Area, is this right? Can you share with us an update? Location?
Claudia, I don't think there has been any decision made yet about location, other than it will be in the East Bay. I'll ask someone from the office to weigh in if there's any news!
Hi. We have 5 rescued cats and a rescued dog. We adopted the cats from our local SPCA over a period of about 1.5 years, and we recently adopted the dog from a small rescue organization in Maine, that works with people in Louisiana to bring dogs to homes up here. We found our dog, Tobin, on Petfinder, which seems like a great resource for small adoption agencies to use.
One of the issues I have seen with adoption from the smaller agencies is the cost. There is a lot that goes into rescuing and fostering these pets, giving them proper veterinary care, getting them spayed or neutered, etc. When I recommend the rescue agency we worked with (which I totally LOVED!), I've had people shy away from the cost of the adoption. They are not considering all that is involved in getting the pet to the point that it is adoptable, plus the costs that they would have to encur themselves if they were to buy a puppy and get the proper care for it. I think that education is important in getting people to accept the cost of adoption....what is paid to the adoption agency allows them to continue rescuing pets, it does not go for profit. We've only had our dog for two months, and I've been quite surprised by the reactions I've heard to the adoption fees we paid for this priceless pup who needed a home. I would have paid much more, knowing what great work the rescue group is doing!
I understand exactly what you're saying -- I often feel this way when I see people "cost-shopping" for spay surgeries. I want to ask them, do you realize this is full abdominal surgery, MAJOR surgery, and that the things you cut out to make it cheaper are the very things that set good and bad medicine apart?
Here's another example. Do you watch any of the real estate shows on HGTV? You always see people who think their house is worth X number of dollars, and then the agent takes them to see market comparables, and tries to get them to understand that their house is not worth what they WANT for it, nor what they OWE on it, nor what they need to buy their next house, but what a willing buyer will pay for it. The market sets the price.
We can rail against these things all we want, but the market -- the adopter, in this case -- will ultimately set the price. You can't really talk someone into spending more if they honestly think it's unreasonable.
We either need to do a massive public awareness campaign to raise the social cachet of rescue group adoption so that people will understand the value added of adopting from a rescue group (the pets are in homes, not kennels; foster homes know the pets and can make better adoption recommendatoins; the pets are given more comprehensive health and behavior evaluations and treatment, etc.), or rescue groups need to accept the reality of the market and find other ways to fund their good works than raising their adoption fees.
Pricing ourselves out of the market isn't the answer.
Thanks, Christie. I'm leading my little one person, one dog campaign for the added value of rescue agencies here in Maine. My husband had never, in his almost half-century of life, ever had a dog nor wanted one. And now he is in love with our pup, and it was all thanks to working patiently to find the right dog, which we found through what happened to be the perfect rescue organization for us! And we brought the dog into a house with a 6 cats, a kindergartener and a small flock of laying hens. That's a lot for a dog to come home to, but this guy fits in like he's always been here. I love rescue groups!
Thanks Lisa! Grayson is a beautiful Catahoula who was rescued by Catahoula Rescue South Central in Austin, Texas. He was just days from being euthanized when they pulled him. I initially signed on to foster him, but fell in love with him, as did my other rescue dog Lulu. So we're now a unit of three and happy campers.

I'd love to share with you an event we are kicking off today! It's RESCUE's biggest and most important fundraiser of the year - Bowlarama! With your help and the help of our animal loving community we will reach our goal of raising $45,000! $45,000 is a lot of money, especially in the current economy. These funds help us save and care for hundreds of dogs and cats. As all you animal parents out there know, medical expenses quickly add up, along with food and supplies. Now add in boarding and hundreds of dogs and cats and you can easily see how those dollars add up. However, with your help we can reach our goal. Every dollar adds up and makes a HUGE difference to our amazing organization. 100% of donations are tax deductible and they go directly towards helping us save and care for the dogs and cats we save from the kill list. Dogs just like Nolan who was recently rescued. As an older dog, he was passed over by the public and since he wasn't 100% purebred the other rescue groups passed on him too. But RESCUE saw a sweet, old soul and quickly snatched him up. He needed to be neutered, have his teeth cleaned with a few extractions and since he was limping on his front leg, we had to run x-rays and blood work on this sweet boy. I'm happy to report that everything turned out to be just fine and Nolan is just the sweetest, gentlest, most loving dog you could ever meet. Here are some amazing photos and and update from his new loving home - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150274434867494.378046.273795.... As you can see they just adore this handsome boy. Thankfully RESCUE was able to step in to save Nolan and connect him to his wonderful family but this wouldn't have happened without your support!
There are countless other stories just like Nolan's, who through no fault of their own, find themselves homeless and abandoned. With your support we can continue to help save and care for dogs (and cats) just like Nolan. Please make a donation today, of any amount http://azrescue.org/servlet/sponsor02?bowl=1 and please help be the voice for these wonderful souls that need our help by forwarding our email to your friends, family and co-workers, asking for their support and/or posting on your Facebook page. Together we can reach our goal and help save these special creatures!
Thank you in advance for your support,

I think part of the reason why some folks do not adopt animals from rescue shelters is due to the application process. Some of them are quite intimidating. I know when I was researching a rescue shelter to adopt my dog, some of the applications required a home inspection, place of employment (of which permission was requested to contact the current employer), references of who would vouch for your capability to take care of the animal and so forth. I think some feel this is an invasion of privacy since they are only adopting an animal, not a child. I even thinned out the list of rescue places as I did not want anyone contacting my employer about my adopting a dog. Why does an employer need to be involved? I can understand why some are more strict than others as they want to make sure the animal is placed in a good stable home, but when it comes to having to divulge what could be considered as private information, I think some folks have second thoughts and move on to another place where the application is not quite so invasive.
Jo Ann, this is part of what I consider a customer service issue, and I think rescue groups and shelters (in somewhat different ways) would benefit a GREAT DEAL, as would the cause of pet adoption in general, if they came up with friendlier, less intrusive ways of getting to know the adopter and ensure a good fit.
One shelter I interviewed a while ago (blanking on which one it was right now) had trained their whole staff in a non-inquisition, conversational adoption process. They ended up getting tons of information and really getting more of a sense of who the adopter was than a lengthy questionnaire could ever have given them, and the person didn't have that feeling they were being grilled and found lacking.

We have a small shelter here and every year they hold a walk-a-thon. Last year they raised just over $1,000 and only had three people walk - me, my boyfriend and the director. It was rainy, windy and cold so maybe that's why nobody showed up, and maybe they ended up getting more money after that day from the folks that were going to walk. As it was, we had collected about $450 ourselves for that day and we're doing it again this year. Every Christmas we empty our piggy banks and donate as well. I approached a member of their board of directors and suggested that they do a facebook page that could be updated daily with pictures and pet stories. I told them I would be more than happy to volunteer my time taking photographs, writing the stories and maintaining the page but I haven't heard a word! It really bothers me when people try to reach out and a door is closed in their face. We still donate because of the animals, and at the dog walk on Sunday I'm going to bring it up again, as well as using pet finder - I saw that in one of the messages on here and that's a great idea!
This is a tough situation. Since the director walked in the walkathon, it doesn't SOUND like he or she is disinterested in making things better. Can you bring your offer to the director, and say you'd like to try doing some social media for them as a donation, and not phrase it in any way that's a criticism? It may be that the member of the board you approached was just the wrong person.
Because yes, your idea is exactly what's needed here! You're great!

Over the past several years I have tried to raise awareness about puppy mills, pet stores, and unethical breeders ( and spay/neuter). I had a woman who rescued her dog from a mill come to a Cub Scout Meeting. Her dog was really emotionally and socially broken. In that case a picture was worth a thousand words and the parents were just as enlightened as the boys that night. I had our elementary school Go Orange for the ASPCA in April to raise awareness. My son started an Animal Club in school and collected blankets for one shelter and raised money for another that the club visited as a field trip. The kids wrote and published a newsletter about adoption and rescue, choosing the right pet and properly caring for it. I also approached my town about allowing rescue groups to join our Township Day fair and I was able to rally almost 20 groups to attend. I was able to get Canine Partners for Life as an elementary school assembly which not only spoke to the dog-human bond but accepting people with disabilities. After all of that people were still supporting pet stores and "breeders" in Lancaster County (notorious puppy mill country). I agree there are stereotypes about rescued animals and hope that can be addressed in the public service announcements. I hope social media can spread the word even more. I encourage everyone to do what they can in their own way. Thanks. Companion of two rescue dogs.

You're doing a great job and a wonderful service to your community. It does make a difference, it just may take awhile.
Wow, what a great animal advocate you are!
When I spoke about avoiding the negative stories, I was talking about adoptions. Sharing the horrors of puppy mills REQUIRES making their horrors public -- these places exist because people don't know how bad they are, or because people get tricked into thinking they're getting their puppy from a "farm" or a home-based breeder, through deceptive marketing practices. Shining a light on the reality is absolutely the right thing to do.
We just need to not perpetuate the idea that all pets in shelters are "broken." And they're not; most of them are perfectly fine, and most of the rest just need the same basic training that any puppy or kitten would need -- don't jump, don't nip in play, don't eat the couch, don't pull on the leash, don't soil the house, etc. Yes, there are exceptions, and fortunately we've all learned their are homes out there for those pets.

Thanks to all of you for the encouraging comments. I tell everyone about our positive rescue experiences. A good rescue will spay/neuter, clean teeth, observe, evaluate, and work on training. You also usually know up front what the dog's personality is like and if it is good with children and other animals. And, most importantly, you save a life. What more could you want?
I've made it known at my company that if anyone wants to learn about adopting from shelters or rescue groups, they can come to me... and I was surprised to find that over the years, many people have!
One thing people seem surprised by is that most breeds have a rescue group dedicated to pulling perfectly wonderful, healthy dogs from harm and fostering them until they can be adopted.
All it takes, typically, is just a Google search involving the breed name and the word "rescue"!

Amarillo, TX - Slick road conditions resulted in multiple wrecks on area roads.
The Amarillo Police Department tells us they worked a total of 17 wrecks between 5:00 and 7:00 AM Wednesday.
Most of those are considered to be minor but an accident at I40 and FM 1912 left two people injured.
Officers say a vehicle rollover left the driver stuck inside, needing to be rescued.
He was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
The passenger was transported with non-life threatening injuries.
Amarillo Police say there were also three wrecks along Hwy 60, near the Avenue I exit Wednesday morning.
Two of those were rollovers.
More than one person was transported to the hospital but all are said to be in non-life threatening condition.
There was another wreck at North Hughes and 1st Street.
We're told a vehicle lost control on the ice and side-swiped a Durham School Bus.
The bus had no children on board and no one was seriously hurt in the accident.
While officers were investigating this incident, an Amarillo Fire Department truck on scene was struck by a vehicle that couldn't stop in time.
There were no injuries and only minor damages to the fire truck.
Dense fog and icy conditions are also being blamed for several more wrecks across Amarillo.
On Grand Street Wednesday morning several vehicles were involved in accidents or were part of a chain reaction there.
Information on the exact number of vehicles involved is not yet available.
There were at least two accidents at Loop 335 and 24th Street.
Two people were transported from that scene with minor injuries.
There was also a minor two car wreck at Ross/Mirror and I40 which triggered additional accidents when other cars could not stop on the ice.
One ambulance transported from the scene, and tow trucks helped remove vehicles.
Police say they stopped receiving accident reports around 9 Wednesday morning.

Royal Robbins is named after an acclaimed kayaker and climber, who saw and met the need for high quality outdoor and travel clothing over two and half decades ago. Royal and his wife Liz, also an avid and celebrated climber, decided to trade in their t-shirts and cut-off jeans for higher tech fabrics and performance wear, realizing the opportunity awaiting their expertise in the outdoor clothing industry. From there, the company of Royal Robbins was born, quickly expanding into a full range of clothing for outdoor enthusiasts and serious travelers alike.
Royal Robbins prides itself on its fashionable and comfortable product line, as well as its attention to the details that are most noticed and appreciated by the active consumer. Their first product, the Billy Goat Hiking Short, was designed by Liz to meet a need that wasn't widely available in the late 1970's. The style continues to be a best-seller and classic choice, proving its timeless design. The vision of Royal and Liz since their beginnings in 1981, has remained simple and to the point: to enhance the lives of their customers and make the world a better place through comfortable, rugged, clothing that fits well and looks great.
This vision has only intensified as the company has grown to meet the growing demands of outdoor-focused consumers. Royal Robbins is achieving its goal of creating practical outdoor clothing, incorporating high quality performance fabrics and designs to match the needs not only of climbers, but, many outdoor and athletic devotees. Royal Robbins is also conscious of its environmental impact, and strives for the most sustainable practices possible in clothing manufacture. Their product range is geared not only toward hiking and trekking, but also includes clothing geared towards fishing, water sports, and urban travel. While comfort is king, fashion and current styles are also of great import, and Royal Robbins women's line includes stylish dresses, skirts, shorts and capris, all perfect for adventure and travel of many sorts.
We carry a wide selection of Royal Robbins clothing, including several closeout and sale items. Whether you're on the search for the perfect work or travel shirt, or a pair of convertible pants-shorts, our incredible selection of Royal Robbin wear won't disappoint. Discount products are regularly available at our outlet, making practical outdoor clothing both accessible and affordable.

When men are asked to choose the sexiest woman out of a group, researchers find that they consistently (and usually unconsciously) pick a very particular "waist to hips ratio" (WHR). And happily for many women, a little more bum appears to be exactly what men like best. How much more? The data shows that over and over, men are drawn to a 0.7 "waist to hips ratio" (WHR).
So while Kate Moss and Marilyn Monroe definitely don't have the same curves, they've both got just enough butt to complement their chest. By the way, so do Sophia Loren and the Venus de Milo.
Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is also the newest and probably the best at-home test for coronary health. Some experts go as far as to say that the best way to predict your risk for heart attack and other obesity-related diseases is simply to divide the width of your waist by the width of your hips.
Bottom line: your waist should be SMALLER than your hips, whether you're a woman or a man. For women, a healthy waist-to-hip ratio should be no higher than 0.8 For men, there's a little more wiggle room, but nothing higher than 0.95
If your belly has caught up to the size of your hips—even if you're thin and fit—you're mucking with your first-impression sex appeal. Maybe even worse, you're playing Russian roulette with your health. We all know that obesity increases our risk for virtually every health problem, from diabetes to cancer. But recent research findings suggest that not all fat is equally bad for you. It's what giggles around your waist that you really need to be concerned about. That's because abdominal fat is more likely than any other fat to initiate metabolic changes that ultimately lead to clogged arteries and heart disease.
So extra fat on a woman's hips does not appear to predict increased risk nearly as much a flabby belly. Likewise, one man's beer belly is far more dangerous than another's wide glide.
WHR has all but overtaken Body Mass Index (BMI) in medicine's race to determine coronary risk. Still a useful way to determine if you're overweight, BMI is calculated by dividing you body weight (in kilograms) by the square root of your metric height. The higher your BMI, the higher your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, breathing problems and certain cancers.
But most scientists now agree that there are problems with the BMI, because it ignores muscle and bone structure. It can indicate overweight in healthy athletes and others who have a heavy, muscular build. Conversely it can underestimate body fat in older people who have lost valuable muscle, not dangerous flab. WHR on the other hand, appears to be "consistently and strongly" predictive of coronary heart disease for men and women.
A number of studies make the argument for WHR. The most recent was published just this past summer by a team at the University of Cambridge in the UK. Principle investigator Dr. Dexter Canoy reports that in following 24,508 men and women (ages 45-79) for nine years, his team found that slightly fewer than 11 percent developed coronary heart disease. And their risk increased continuously as their waist-to-hip ratio went up. Even among obese men, the rate of heart disease was slightly lower among those with a lower WHR. "And in women, at all levels of BMI, waist-to-hip ratios were strongly predictive of heart disease."
How big a butt is big enough? Well, in the UK study, with every increase of roughly 2.5 inches in hip circumference for men and roughly 3.5 inches in women—the risk of coronary heart disease dropped by 20%.
Of course, packing on inches below your waist is not an intelligent goal. Fat is fat, and none of it is good. The evidence does remain, however: even among the overweight, bigger hips and smaller waists are associated with lower risk. And even if you maintain normal weight, you face increased risk if your waist-to-hip ratio is high.

It was a brutal crime, and for months police had nothing to go on, but now the case is closed for the Detroit Police Department.
The victim was shot and set on fire, and there were few clues to catching his killer, but now police have a suspect in custody, after receiving help from a concerned citizen.
We first brought this case back to light last Wednesday, when police reached out to us and said they were looking for 25-year-old Antowan Stitts. They said he is a cold blooded killer, and he could be walking the streets of Detroit armed and dangerous.
Click on the video player to watch the report from Wednesday, March 6, when DPD first re-opened the case and named Stitts as a suspect.
That was on March 6. The next day, a citizen contacted the homicide unit and provided information.
By March 8, Stitts walked into a DPD precinct and turned himself him. He was arraigned Saturday on a felony charge of first-degree murder, then remanded to the Wayne County Jail.
Police weren't not pointing to him because of his past criminal history. They are referring to the sheer evil they say he is responsible for right now.
It was September 12, 2011. Detroit firefighters jumped on a call of smoke and flames inside a vacant garage. The structure sits on Collingham and Barlow on the city's northeast side. Once the blaze was battled, what they discovered was gruesome and disturbing -- the burned body of a young black man in his twenties. His cause of death was a homicide.
Detectives were on the hunt for a murderer, but they had no leads. No citizens called in tips. Initially there was no clear evidence at all, but investigators refused to give up and let this case go cold. They worked it meticulously, digging up clues and uncovering the evidence that was desperately needed. Almost a year and a half later, Detroit police say they now have in custody the person they believe responsible for the brutality on Barlow Street -- Antowan Stitts.
His next court date has been scheduled for March 20 at 1:30p.m.

G-Star Clothing - Straight from the Horses's Mouth
G-Star are now world renowned for the excellence of their denim clothing line and, according to a report on Deminology, one of the leading designers at G-Star, Casper White, has certainly captured the public's imagination with the G-Star Raw range.
One of the first things that people notice about the G-Star clothing range is its striking level of originality and well conceived design principles. Of course, it goes without saying, that G-Star employs some of the most talented designers in the denim industry and this is something that is clearly reflected in their excellent array of designs. G-Star's clothing range and the recent addition of the G-Star Raw clothing line has really made a name for the Amsterdam based denim label and this is a trend that is sure to continue with their innovative autumn range and the much vaunted winter collection from G-Star clothing. There are obviously a veritable myriad of options to choose from when it comes to denim but G-Star designers are confident that the attention to detail that goes into all offerings from the fresh fashion label will be sufficient to make their creations stand head and shoulders above the competition.
G-Star Clothes – A Leading Light in the World of Fashion
Due to the competitiveness of the fashion world, it is clearly apparent that, in order to be a success, clothing lines really have to provide exactly what it is that consumers want. This is an endeavour that G-Star admirably achieves and, speaking to Deminology, G-Star designer Casper White, states, "We offer unique product based on denim craftsmanship and a significant signature in terms of styling. G-Star is not a trend-let company. We see ourselves as product developers, as product engineers rather than fashion designers." This just goes to show what a unique approach G-Star clothing has towards fashion design but it is certainly a stance that has stood them in good stead as their fashion lines continue to go from strength to strength.
G-Star Clothing – Seeking Inspiration
There are many elements that act as inspiration to fashion designers and this is, of course, something that applies to the creative minds behind G-Star clothing. Speaking to Deminology, G-Star clothing designer, Casper White, states, "We are inspired by the positive tension between street and luxury and build upon the unexpected combinations this offers. There are no borders to our ambition for denim."
Looking for G-Star Clothing? Speak to Footasylum
Footasylum are one of the UK's leading suppliers of top class fashion labels ranging from the Superdry brand to Lacoste. Offering a first class array of clothing and footwear, Footasylum is delighted to be on the forefront of fashion by bringing the greatest brands to you at excellent prices.

An expansion of the CTA Red Line may end up being a public-private partnership. Goldman Sachs has been hired by the transit authority to explore the possibility.
A public-private partnership means private contractors would be hired to design, build and bankroll the project, but the CTA would still operate the completed product.
The expansion to 130th Street would likely cost around $1.5 billion, but the CTA hasn't figured out to pay for it.

It's a big day for shopping in the greater Chicago area! Rosemont's Fashion Outlets of Chicago opened Thursday morning.
SEE: Fashion Outlets of Chicago to open in Rosemont, to bring 2K jobs
Governor Pat Quinn and Rosemont Mayor Bradley Stevens were on hand for the 10 a.m. ribbon cutting to help kick off the grand opening. Shoppers were greeted on the outside with the sounds of the Leyden High School Band from Franklin Park.
The 530,000 sq. ft. mall has 130 stores, featuring some of the world's top designers, are represented at the outlet mall. Hundreds of people poured inside, looking for deals at the outlets.
The Fashion Outlets of Chicago is being called the first fully enclosed outlet mall to be built in more than 20 years, featuring outlets from Nike, the Gap to Barney's and Bloomingdale's.
Some stores saw lines out the doors as customers grabbed deals.
"It's really nice," shopper Kimberly Crosby-McCoy says. "We don't have to travel to New York to go to their outlet mall that's similar to this one. So, this is really nice."
Aside from providing people with an outlet mall closer to Chicago it's also a big boost for the local economy.
"This is a special day for Illinois," Quinn announced. "2,000 people didn't have a job yesterday and have a job today thanks to Fashion Outlets of Chicago."
Officials hope the mall's proximity to O'Hare Airport will not only bring in local shoppers, but worldwide buyers. At guest services inside of the mall, you can check your bags, or you can leave your bags for a short amount of time for just a small fee. You can also print your boarding passes if you plan on shopping a little bit, before you plan to fly out of O'Hare Airport.
A shuttle will also take airport passengers to and from the airport, giving people another way to spend locally before they hit the skies.
To celebrate the mall's grand opening and to keep traffic flowing, the village of Rosemont is paying for customers' tolls at the Balmoral Avenue exit ramp.
If you're going, officials said your I-Pass will be charged at first, but then you'll get a credit.
Don't worry if you don't have an I-Pass - you won't get a ticket in the mail.

Breakfast cereals are loaded with too much sugar for kids.
Researchers looked at more than 1,500 cereals including 181 marketed to children.
Kids cereal's have about 40% more sugars than adult cereals, when you average it all out.
And Kellogg's Honey Smacks was one of the worst for kids with 56% sugar by weight.
So maybe we go back to the olden days and have grapefruit and toast? Unlikely.

Carlita Kilpatrick, the wife of former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, was hired earlier this year to help out at the Duncanville Fieldhouse in Texas. City Finance Officials searched her office earlier this summer after someone reported a misappropriation of city assets.Click on the video player above to see authorities searching her desk. A Duncanville official tells Kilpatrick, "We have a policy here that any time you're over, or anytime you're short, those things are supposed to be reported. They're not supposed to be held back. We're going to have to report this to the city manager and it will be up to him and personnel as far as what is there any action taken."The action taken was the firing of Kilpatrick on July 18 for failing to report and deposit cash as required by city police. The incident is not a criminal offense, but is against standard procedure.Fox 2 tried to reach Kilpatrick for comment, but none of our texts or emails were returned.

A progressive scrap is a *slow* speed scrap!!! I love speed scraps and I'm equally fond of progressive scraps because there's no way to anticipate the next step so it's always interesting to see what kind of a fix we can get ourselves into and out of! Heaps of fun!! So here are the general rules to our *slow* speed... er I mean *Progressive Scrap*.
1. On the first day of the month I'll post Step 1. Then, I'll post the first of next weekly steps to the Progressive Scrap in a weeks' time, and so on until we've completed the layout
2. Add only the items listed in the step for that week, although you may add/alter shadows at any time.
3. As in card playing, *once it's laid, it's played*. If you posted your layout, you may not go back and change it. You may only build on the previous week's layout following the new step for the week and this makes things VERY interesting indeed!
4. The original and subsequent steps will be posted in this forum thread, as well as here in the first post.
5. Post your weekly layouts no later than midnight of the day before the next step is due - I'll post this date in the steps.
6. Post your layouts in the *Progressive Challenge* gallery.
7. Link your layout back to this forum thread so we can have a look at your artwork and leave some love!
8. Use of at least 50% GDS Designer products is encouraged and very much appreciated!
9. Please list all the GDS products you've used.
10. There will be a posting bonus for everyone that: a) posts a layout in the gallery for each step AND ALSO b) linking their layout back to this forum. (so you have to do both). I'll post the bonus in this thread when it's available.
11. YES this challenge counts towards the Scrap 7 Challenge!
To link your images back to the gallery .. have a look here
Also... here's on on how to assign keywords to your layouts to give the credit back to the GDS designer
Step One:
1. Can't belive we're in a New Year!!! Happy 2013 Everyone!! .. Ok.. so easy step one.. Pick a medium to dark colour backgroud paper.. solid with texture.. but no pattern. That's it. Pick your own theme.
Post your layout by Wednesday, January 9, 2013 The next step will be posted Thursday, January 10 2013
Step Two:
2. Ok.. Get our your guides and place one dead center running vertially. That is your Midline. Now you have to find a rectangle or square relatively thin frame and place it in the middle of one side of your layout, between the midline and one side. Now make 3 copies so that you have 4 altogether. Select the bottom two frames and pull them slightly towards the midline or center of your layout. Now rotate the bottom one just slightly towards the midline and then the one on top of it slight towards it. Now rotate the 2nd frame to the outside edge, and the top one rotates the same way as the 2nd one but not as far. That's it! Any questions.. please ask!
Post your layout by Tuesday, January 15, 2013 The next step will be posted Wednesday, January 16 2013
Step Three:
3. Now you need to find a photo, one that you can slip between the 2nd and 3rd frame. You can make it an *out of bounds* photo or just make the focal point fit in the middle of the frames. Try a few different techniques to find something you like.
Post your layout by Monday, January 21, 2013 The next step will be posted Tuesday, January 22 2013
Step Four:
4. Now you get to add *stuff* lol. Choose some elements and either create a cluster or place the elements here and there in, around, under your 4 frames. Choose a few (or 1) long elements ie a ribbons, or paper strips and have them go across the page and under the top edge of frames. Place a scatter or small cluster in the opposite bottom corner from your frame.
Post your layout by Sunday, January 27, 2013 The next step will be posted Monday, January 28 2013
Step Five:
5. Time for the finishing touches. Add a title from a font you've not used before and apply a style to it, ie glitter, or glossy or something you like. Find a tag to hang off your frames and add the date of your photo to it. Add shadows if you like. Your Finished!
Post your layout by Thursday, January 31, 2013

Starbucks Reserve® West Java Indonesia
A new favorite from the Western side of the island of Java.
Tasting Notes
Sweet herbal and milk chocolate.
Enjoy this with:
Molten chocolate cake and that special someone.
- At a Glance
- Did You Know?
- Starbucks Reserve®
Producer: Smallholder farmer groups in 6 different sub-districts to the north of Bandung, which is the capital West Java Province.
Elevation: 900 - 1700 meters, 2700 - 5100 feet
Processing Method: Semi-Washed
West Java, due to the volcanic mountains forming an East-West spine across the island, presents itself uniquely from East Java home to customer favorite Blue Java.
Grown on the West side of the island of Java this coffee exemplifies the pronounced geographical differences between the two sides, with more rainfall, higher humidity and generally cooler temperatures on the West side.
While coffee production in this area dates back to the Dutch colonial era (16th century onwards) the production of this semi-washed coffee really only commenced at the turn of the millennium.
Of the thousands of coffees we encounter in our search for the best, only a precious few are deemed exceptional enough to become Starbucks Reserve® coffees, offered only for limited times at select stores.
- Product Details
Sweet, herbal complexity with a silky milk chocolate flavor and texture.
These beans flourish on Java's west side, where abundant rainfall and cooler temperatures create a marked difference in climate from the island's eastern half, home to the more established coffee-growing estates.
To tend to their coffee trees, cultivated high upon a remote volcanic slope, smallholder farmers must travel by foot. Once harvested, the beans are diligently carried down the rugged terrain for processing. The resulting cup is a testament to the farmers hard work and dedication.
This special Starbucks Reserve® coffee is in very limited supply and only available at select stores.

Is the New Jersey accent really sexy? It is according to a new survey!
Dating website OKCupid ranked the top five sexiest accents in North America based on a survey of 2,000 men and women who use the site.
Here's the list:
Seven percent of people said that the New Jersey accent makes them weak at the knees.
10 percent said they like the New England accent.
13 percent say a Western accent is charming.
16 percent like the New York accent.
And the most attractive accent, Southern.
Surprisingly, more people ranked the Canadian accent as sexy than the number who ranked the Midwestern of Mid-Atlantic accent.
Watch the full segment above to see what Mike, Sheinelle, and Karen had to say about the results. Especially, as our anchors pointed out, that the Southern accent seems to also be stereotyped as not intelligent.

Students from Georgia State University are behind a new social media app that helps you speak your mind-- literally. It's called Sayroom, and we've got details in this week's Tech Check. Sayroom allows users to voice how they feel about pictures, locations, and topics. The smart app deciphers the emotion behind the recorded message. Nuracode, a Georgia State University-founded company, is the group behind it. Their team says they've built projects for AARP, Kodak, Samsung and even created the Veggie Tales app that is currently available in the iTunes App Store.Sayroom launched first in Canada, and then in the United States. It has more than 20,000 downloads, and is available for iPhone. For more info on Sayroom, click here!

This week's Echo will be a collection of some stories connected with Minden that I came across while doing research. The first is an obituary found on the Internet that demonstrates a combination of the national confusion about lifestyles in Northwest Louisiana and a little bit of "tall tales" told by a musician. The last three came from the pages of significant national newspapers describing events that happened locally.
On August 5, 2004, R & B musician Willie Egan died at his home in Los Angeles. Egan was born in this area, and I found the following paragraph from his obituary very interesting. It read: "He was born Willie Lee Egan in 1933 in poverty, in the bayou country around Minden, Louisiana. The community was so isolated that they had to forge a path through the undergrowth and the swamps to the main road every year. Alligators were a daily hazard and although Egan survived with all parts intact, his father lost a hand and his brother a foot."

Melissa Corry here from Happy Quilting. I'm so excited to be back here at the Moda Bake Shop and share this wonderful Valentines Day Quilt. XOXO is big in our family!! I shared a little bit of the story behind it in my last Valentine's tutorial for MBS. This quilt is a twist on the basic lattice quilt adding the O's to create the perfect quilt for you and your Valentine to snuggle up in. Hope you enjoy!!
1 Honey Honey Jelly Roll
3 1/4 Yards of Bella Solid White
3/4 Yard for Binding
5 Yards for Backing
Choose 36 jelly roll strips from your bundle. (I set aside 4 of the double prints) Lay them out as follow, keeping them folded in half. You can cut about 6 rows at a time. Using the lines on your mat as a guide, cut a sliver off the end to remove the fold. Then cut a 2 1/2" x 10 1/2" rectangle, a 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle, and a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" square. Place the remaining bit in scrap. You will have 2 of each cut. Repeat with all 36 strips to have a total of (72) 2 1/2" x 10 1/2" rectangles, (72) 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles, and (72) 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares.
Now from your white yardage cut the following.
We'll start by making the O blocks. Gather a 6 1/2" square and (2) 6 1/2" print strips and lay out as shown below. Place the strips onto the square with right sides together. Sew a 1/4" along the edges, aligning as you sew. Press towards the center square. Repeat to make 18 center units total. (Chain stitching saves time)
Lay the top and bottom units onto the center with right sides together. Nest the seams and pin. Sew a 1/4" seam along the pinned edge. Press. And now, you just have to add the sashing border. Gather (2) 10 1/2" white strips and (2) 12 1/2" print strips and layout as shown. Lay the top and bottom border onto the O with right sides together. Sew a 1/4" seam aligning as you go and press. Repeat for the two side borders.
Gather a 10 1/2" strip and 2 subcut white triangles and lay them out as shown. Place the right hand square onto the strip with right sides together centering the triangle. Sew a 1/4" seam along the edge, aligning as you go. Open and finger press the triangle. Lay the second triangle onto the left hand side of the strip with right sides together and lining the tips of the triangles up. Sew a 1/4" seam along the edge, aligning as you go. Press towards the triangles. Repeat to make 72 lattice units. (Chain stitching will save lots of time here :)
Lay the X and O blocks alternating into 6 rows of 6. Play with the layout until you get a look that is please to the eye. I tried to separate the red and navy units most as they tend to pop. Once you have a please layout you are ready to sew the blocks into row.
I find the easiest way to do this is to stack each row and place some sort of marker on the first block indicating what row it is. This way you don't lose the layout you just did.
Then just start sewing the blocks together, one block adding to the next, and the next until you have sewn all 6 in the row. Then just repeat for all 6 rows. I do not pin my blocks when sewing them into row as there are no seams to line up. I just align as I go.
Press your seams in the rows towards the O blocks. This will allow you to nest the seam and avoids bulk around the X corners.
Sewing the rows together is just like creating them. Lay the first row onto the second with right sides together. Nest the seams and pin them and then along the rest of the edge. Sew a 1/4" seam along the pinned edge. Press open. Then repeat adding the third row to the now sewn together first and second row and so on.
And before you know it, you have a beautiful Hugs before Kisses Quilt Top!!
One adorable Hugs before Kisses quilt measuring 72" x 72" perfect for snuggling under.
I hope you enjoyed and if you make your own Hugs Before Kisses quilt I would love to see it. You can add it to my Inspired by Happy Quilting Flickr group here :)
Have a Happy Quilting Day!!
