It was a somber service for a hero in blue. Tuesday night, West Bloomfield honored the life of fallen police officer Patrick O'Rourke, the township's first killed in the line of duty.A mother stayed visually strong for her four children as they remembered O'Rourke, a brave officer, loving father, husband and friend. A heartbroken family drew strength from nearly a thousand people who attended a candlelight vigil at the West Bloomfield Police Department, some who knew him and others who wished they had the chance."I'm here tonight to support him, support his family and his four children that he's leaving behind. It's a sad story," said Troy Police Officer Matt Redmond."He was so loving and just welcomed anybody into his family. He's an amazing guy, and those girls are going to miss him," said sister-in-law Kristie Corry.In front of the department, flags flew at half staff, candles burned and there was a sign in honor of West Bloomfield Police that read, "Our heroes. Thanks for keeping us safe."That's exactly what the twelve year veteran of the force did before he answered his final call. Before going in to try and save 50-year-old Ricky Coley from what came into 9-1-1 as a possible suicide, he alerted neighbors, telling them to take cover to avoid being hit by stray bullets. When Officer O'Rourke entered Coley's home, he met his fate. Coley, a man he tried to save, allegedly shot several rounds through the bedroom door striking O'Rourke in the neck."We were so proud to have Pat here as one of our police officers. He always represented himself and our department very well, and we're just going to really miss him dearly," said West Bloomfield Police Chief Michael Patton.Police officers from all over metro Detroit showed up. Some were working the shifts of West Bloomfield officers so they could attend the vigil.West Bloomfield is a close knit and diverse community. Various religious leaders shared their words of faith trying to comfort O'Rourke's family and friends, and those who just came to offer their support were trying to make peace with this immense loss."We cherish those few years that were allotted to him. Though they were few, they were a source of blessing to so many," said Rabbi Norman Roman with Temple Kol Ami.An education, health and welfare fund has been setup for the family of Officer O'Rourke. You can make a donation at any Bank of America branch. There is now also a website that has now been created. It's www.WestBloomfieldHero.com.
Visitation for Patrick O'Rourke is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Elton Black and Son Funeral Home in Highland, located at 3295 East Highland Road. His funeral will take place at 10:30 a.m. Friday at St. John's Catholic Church in Fenton, located at 600 North Adelaide.

An "accident."That's what the homeowner reportedly told police about 19-year-old Renisha McBride's death. No charges have been filed after authorities said Renisha, of Detroit, was killed by a shotgun blast to the face early last Saturday in Dearborn Heights. A man told investigators that he thought someone was trying to break into his home and accidentally discharged the gun, according to police. McBride's family said she likely approached the home to seek help after getting into a car accident nearby.Fox 2's Randy Wimbley asks the experts how exactly a shotgun works and, if the explanation that the gun accidentally discharged is plausible. VIDEO: Watch his report in the video player above or read the transcript below____________________________An "accident."That's what the shooter reportedly told police about 19-year-old Renisha McBride's death. She was killed with a shotgun.So how exactly does this weapon work and are there any chances of it accidentally going off?"Pull it back into my shoulder, lean into the shot, line up my sight picture." Those are the steps Action Impact's Martez Boggon takes before firing a shotgun. Action Impact is a gun store in Southfield, a suburb of Detroit. The shotgun is one of the most powerful firearms ever made and is commonly used for home defense.Demonstrating how it works, store-owner Bill Kucyk says, "When I would pull it back I would unload it, and, assuming if it were loaded, as I go up - the shotgun would then load."The shotgun, whether pump action or semi-automatic is effective and deadly, something Renisha McBride's family knows all too well."She was a beautiful girl and she would not have hurt anybody. There was no threat," said Renisha's cousin, Krystal Byrd, at her funeral on Friday. Her death is being described as an accident.Kucyk begs to differ. "I call it pretty much negligent discharge," he says. "I believe, that for any one of these shotguns to fire, you're finger is going to have to be on the trigger, that trigger is going to have to be pulled."He says a shotgun has to be severely damaged or extremely defective for it to fire without the trigger being pulled, and even that would be a stretch."I don't know how else it could go off, to be honest with you. I would have to hear what the explanation is to see if that was even theoretically possible," Kucyk adds. We hit the range with Boggon, an army veteran who's seen combat in Afghanistan and has used shotguns extensively. He says they don't accidentally go off."Shotguns will not misfire. Shotguns have safeties. Once that safety's off, it's up to you to squeeze that trigger," Boggon says. So if Renisha's shooting was accidental, how did it happen?"It can go off on a sympathetic nerve response, and what that means is, I intended to do something else but I inadvertently pulled the trigger," Kucyk explains. He continues, "If there was a struggle and my hand happened to be on this gun, and for some reason the gun was pulled forward while my finger is on the trigger, it's going to discharge."Dearborn Heights Police have revealed few details surrounding Renisha's death. Our phone calls Friday were neither answered nor returned, and for now the circumstances surrounding Renisha's death remain a mystery.

With a one year old and a full schedule, I LOVE my crock pot! And this one was an instant hit with the whole family. I actually have it ready to start cooking this morning for dinner tonight! I can't wait. Steam some veggies with it and you're set! (In the winter, make some homemade bread for a true comfort food treat!)
Creamy Chicken and Noodles
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 10.75 cans of cream of chicken soup (I use on big 26 ounce can)
1/2 cup of butter sliced (one stick)
42 ounces of chicken broth (again, I use slightly more then this calls for)
Bag of extra wide egg noodles
Put your chicken breasts on the bottom, and pour the soup over top of this. Add in your broth and butter and you're set.
I always prepare mine the night before, and then it's really quick and easy to do in the morning as we are running out the door.
Cook this on low for 8 hours. An hour before serving, pull all the chicken out and shred it. I usually just cut mine into bigger pieces since it's falling apart. Throw chicken back into pot and add your bag of egg noodles. I use the whole bag because we like noodles in our house, but you can use as much or as little as you would like. Just keep an eye on your noodles and when they're finished to your liking, you're ready to eat!
(This recipe originated from Gooseberry Patch's Slow Cooker Recipes, but the above reflects the changes that I have made. Above picture is from the Going Jane blog where I discovered the recipe)


text: On one of the life insurance policies that my mother-in-law had through her job (before she retired) with the Department of Agriculture, the beneficiaries were my DH, his brother, and his sister, so rather than paying to the estate upon her death, they would only pay the beneficiaries directly. We got the check in the mail yesterday. It was much more than I expected -- not sure what my DH expected. It was almost $11,000.00!

It's a dangerous job, so the days leading up to deployment is tough on soldiers and their families.
First Lieutenant George Lopez will be in charge of 35 soldiers as they clear routes for U.S. Forces in Afghanistan.
The 25-year-old will take on big responsibilities for the next year, but this weekend he's packing and telling his loved ones goodbye.
His gear is heavy, but the most important thing 1st Lt. George Lopez is packing barely weighs anything: a picture of him and his mother.
"That's gonna be the biggest thing, is taking pictures with me just to reminisce about those times and telling myself at the end of it all, come back and things will be back," said Lt. George Lopez.
The St. Mary's high school grad and former Sun Devil will leave behind his parents, Sylvia and George, as well as his wife of two years, Maria. All three are coping with the same fear.
"Him not coming back," said Maria Lopez.
Maria will live with her parents in Texas for the year. Sylvia and George plan to take trips in hopes that travel will take their mind of their youngest child's deployment.
"We're very close. It's always been that way from the day I had him in my arms, from the day he was born, I knew he was my special baby," said Sylvia Lopez.
"Being very close to them and being the youngest one is kind of rough because they've been my backbone all through college when I was at ASU, you know, making sure I grew up the right way," said Lt. George Lopez.
Lt. George Lopez says he'll miss watching Arizona State football games and reality TV shows with his wife.
"Being apart is hard but we'll get through it," said Maria Lopez.
Lopez is proud to serve his country and all he asks for in return is that people in our community continue to support the troops.

I know I am a negative nancy, and I will get a ton of backlash, but this video annoys me.
You know what else is a job? Life. Life is hard. Life is 24/7. Life is a job.
Moms are awesome. Being a Mom is awesome. It's not a "job." It's a choice. It is a privilege. I choose to put my child first. I choose to make sacrifices for my child. My child did not ask me to do this. I do not want my child to ever think he is "a chore."
The other part that kills me- they don't mention "the pay." The rewards...the love, the hugs, the kisses, etc.
Or another thing they fail to mention- Dad. I am pretty sure the President of this "company" has a V.P. Moms don't go it alone. If there isn't a Dad, I guarantee there is some sort of support system in place. I find this video sweet, but also incredibly self righteous and pretentious.

Some prominent Georgia conservatives are blasting Georgia Right to Life. The Georgia group has campaigned against a new far-reaching House anti-abortion bill because it says that the bill doesn't save enough lives.Georgia Right to Life says it's all or nothing. "If all aren't protected, none our protected,' said Suzanne Ward of Georgia Right to Life.The group fought the recently-passed House bill that banned abortions after 20 weeks because it made exceptions for rape and incest."Rape and incest is a horrible scenario and we have the utmost sympathy for anyone in those circumstances, but we can't condone murder in those circumstances," Ward said.But prominent Georgia pro-life conservatives, like RedState's Erick Erickson and Peach Pundit editor Charlie Harper are blasting Georgia Right to Life."Somehow saving 99.4 percent of children is not good enough for Georgia Right to Life," said Harper. "So the blood of those kids is now on their hands, that's what their stance means."Two Georgia congressmen sided with Georgia Right to Life and voted against the bill, but it still passed the House on a strict party line vote, including seven Georgia Republicans."Georgia Right to Life will stay the course with our life of the mother exception only," said Ward."They're not even about trying to pass legislation anymore. They're now basically making sure people agree with them and playing political games, rather than trying to save the lives of unborn children," Harper said.While the bill passed the House, experts don't expect it to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate. Even if it did, President Barack Obama would likely veto it.

Our daughter will be 4 in December and like most 3-4 year-old's she is quite apt at the "touch-screen technology." Her Aunt got her a Kindle Fire which we let her play educational games on and watch Netflix for Kids. However, their are limited educational apps for this so we would like to get her something better for Christmas:
-The Leap Pad Ultra; this has wi-fi (which we have in our house) and a larger screen...it's also about $50 more
-The Leap Pad 2 Power. No wi-fi, smaller screen but less expensive.
Leap-pads are built for kids and learning, so we realize that either will be better than the Kindle for her. Our question is will the extra $50 be worth it?
Who can help? I'd love to hear your feedback!
(Here is one 4-year old's review of the Leap Pad Ultra)

Mission Statement
The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber
State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully
researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories
intended for the widest possible use.
Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of
events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees
(as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and
corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as
available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original
recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations.
Project Description
The Weber and Davis County Communities Oral History Collection includes interviews of citizens from
several different walks of life. These interviews were conducted by Stewart Library personnel, Weber
State University faculty and students, and other members of the community. The histories date back to
the early settlement of North Ogden, and cover various topics including the History of Fort Buenaventura,
city government affairs, controversial issues, Latinos in Ogden, personal everyday life experiences and
other recollections regarding the history of the Weber and Davis County areas.
Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a
narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with
the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral
history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken
account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it
is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

Abstract: The following is an oral history interview with Jack Lampros. The interview
was conducted on July 7, 2012, by Rebecca Ory Hernandez. In this interview
Mr. Lampros, current Chairman of the Stewart Education Foundation, discusses
his memories of Elizabeth Stewart and provides a brief history of her foundation.
ROH: Today is July 7, 2012. I'm in the home of Jack Lampros. Present is Rebecca Ory
Hernandez and Jack Lampros, in Ogden Utah. We're here today to talk about the
Stewart Education Foundation, the history of the Foundation, and memories of
Elizabeth Stewart as Jack remembers them. So I'll just start with you. Jack, why
don't you tell me your name and your date of birth?
JL: My name is Jack Lampros and I was born in Florida, September 15, 1926.
ROH: Very good. When did it come that you moved to Ogden, Utah?
JL: I moved to Ogden, Utah right after I graduated from the University of Florida in
ROH: Okay. What did you graduate in?
JL: Business Administration.
ROH: Very good. Okay. What brought you here to Ogden?
JL: I married a girl from Utah.
ROH: What's her name?
JL: Her name was Betty Hess.
ROH: Betty Hess. What part of Utah is she from?
JL: Ogden.
ROH: Ogden. Okay. So why don't we fast forward a little bit to a time when you recall
meeting Elizabeth Stewart and just tell me a little bit about how the Foundation
came about and if you need to back up and go forward in time as you speak,
that's just fine.
JL: Okay. I think to give you a little preamble to Elizabeth Stewart's Foundation, we
need to talk about her mother. Her mother, Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw, was a
Dee, of the very prominent Dee family here in the Ogden area. Her mother
established the first foundation that I had any familiarity with. There was an
attorney here in Ogden at that time by the name of Jerry [Jerome] Horowitz. Jerry
came here from New York as a convert to the LDS church and he knew about
foundations and charitable giving and so forth, which was at that time almost new
to us. But he talked with Elizabeth's mother, Mrs. Shaw, and suggested that she
establish a charitable foundation. She actually established her foundation
December 12, 1959—so quite a while ago. I was present at the time because I
was a trust officer at the First Security Bank and I would be handling her account.
The primary purpose of that foundation was to make charitable donations to the
Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital. I don't think that McKay Dee had been
founded as yet but when it was founded then that foundation began to give
primarily to that hospital, but to other charitable organizations as well.
That instilled in Elizabeth Stewart—and Elizabeth's full name is Elizabeth
Dee Shaw Stewart; she was proud of all of her names—the idea of charitable
giving. So Elizabeth established a foundation. She established what we call the
Stewart Education Foundation and she established it, as I recall it was right at
the very end of 1977. I think December 29, 1977. The primary goal of that
foundation was to help educational organizations as well as other organizations.
Elizabeth was a graduate of Weber State University. She had worked there in her
younger years and loved Weber State immensely. We know one of her desires
was that most of the money from that foundation be given to Weber State
University. She named a board of managers to help her manage the foundation,
although she called most of the shots. We were there to give direction and
advice. But she named Dean Hurst and myself as members of her original board,
with the provision that once she and her husband, Donnell, passed away, that
Dean and I would annually select board members from that time on. Well, she
knew Dean very well and loved him immensely because he had been her bishop
and he was also connected with Weber State University and he certainly had the
best interest of the University in mind. He would talk to her about different things
that she might do for and on behalf of the University. She always took his advice.
Later, another former bishop of hers by the name of Bill Stromberg—C. William
Stromberg, but everybody called him Bill. He was added to the board and
became a very influential member of the board. She loved and respected Bill a
great deal.
After she passed away, I was elected Chairman of the Foundation, with
Dean Hurst as the Vice Chairman and Bill Stromberg as Vice Chairman. After Bill
died, his son Richard Stromberg took his place on the board. We have tried in all
our pursuits, all of our endeavors—we have tried to keep Elizabeth and her
wishes in mind. We often ask ourselves, "What would Elizabeth want?" If we
think that's what she wanted, then that's what we do. So I would say that at least
one half of all our charitable givings from the Stewart Education Foundation has
been directed towards Weber State University, because we felt that was what
Elizabeth would like us to do.
ROH: Okay. When did Bill pass away? When did he die?
JL: I can't remember the exact date. It's been maybe five years ago now.
ROH: Okay. I can't remember the date either. I can look it up. I was just curious if you
knew off the top of your head. So at this point who is on the board of the Stewart
Education Foundation?
JL: At this point we have myself as Chairman, Dean Hurst as Vice Chairman,
Richard Stromberg as Treasurer, and the three of us comprise what we call the
Executive Committee. We meet often as a trio and discuss policy and pursuits
that we want to do. Also, as a member of the Foundation Board, is Mary Barker
who is affiliated with Wells Fargo Bank. She administers the trust on behalf of the
bank. As associate members we have Bernice Stromberg, who is Bill's widow;
we have my daughter, Jamie Lampros Shenefelt; Dean's daughter, Kristen Hurst
Hyde; and I think that's it.
ROH: Okay. Going back, can you—I don't know if you can remember this far back, but
can you remember the very first gift from the Stewart Education Foundation and
what was surrounding Elizabeth's thoughts at the time?
JL: You know, I cannot remember the first but I can make a good guess. I would
suspect it was the Stewart Bell Tower.
ROH: Okay. Yeah, the Bell Tower. And um, tell me a little bit about what her intent was
for—I mean, if she was such a big supporter of Weber State, why do you think
that was her intent, to create a Foundation that would give so much back to
Weber State?
JL: Well, I think for one thing, she greatly admired Dean Hurst. Dean Hurst was like a
son to her. She took his advice and counsel and I'm sure Dean influenced her
that way a great deal. Although, she had an innate love for Weber State without
him and would no doubt have supported Weber State anyway. But I'm sure that
Dean Hurst had a great influence on her charitable giving to the school. Elizabeth
was a very charitable person. She loved everyone. She wanted to help everyone.
As a trust officer at the bank who administered her estate, I know how much she
gave of her own personal funds and not just out of the Foundation. If she saw
anyone in need, she would write them a check. If a repair man came to her home
and repaired her air conditioner and she began to talk to him and found out that
he was struggling a little bit, it wasn't long before she would call me and tell me to
pay off the mortgage on his home. That way she thought it would make it easier
for him. She did that for quite a few people. There were many people, I always
felt, who took advantage of Elizabeth's good nature and generosity and I would
tell her so. But she didn't care. She would rather err on the side of generosity
than not to give to somebody who might need help. She was a wonderful person.
She named Dean and I to her board because—she called us 'her boys' and she
had no children of her own, so she kind of lavished her interest in us and Bill.
ROH: I see. Where do you think that came from—her great interest in philanthropy?
JL: You know, you study evolution and I've always been taught that acquired
characteristics cannot be inherited, but I think she inherited that generosity. You
go right back to Thomas D. Dee's widow, who established the Dee Memorial
Hospital—she was very charitable. I'm sure that before her even, there were very
charitable people in her family. Everybody in her family that I know of, are and
were very charitable people. The Dees—her mother was a Dee—they were very
charitable people and I think Elizabeth inherited that love of being charitable and
helping people.
ROH: Now where did the wealth come from originally? Are you aware—
JL: Yes, I know where that wealth came from. It's an amazing story. It came from
what was originally called Utah Construction Company. Most people today would
not know about Utah Construction Company but it was a fabulous organization. It
started here in Ogden as a construction company and then it grew. It had some
very far sighted people running it—the Dee's, the Brownings, the Harrises, the
Eccles—they were the ones who established the Utah Construction Company.
They built such things as the Hoover Dam and the Oakland Bay Bridge. They
were a big organization and they kept expanding and expanding and expanding.
Finally, I believe it was 1977, they merged with the General Electric Company.
The Utah Construction Company made a lot of millionaires here in Ogden. You'd
be surprised how many multi millionaires Utah Construction Company made here
in Ogden. One time the President of Utah International was speaking up at
Weber State—his offices were in San Francisco, but he came here to give a talk.
I went to listen to him and afterwards I went up to him and said, "You don't know
me but your company has provided me with a very good living for many years."
He said, "You may think you're the only one who's ever told me that story, but
you're not. I've heard that many times." So Utah Construction really was the
source of their wealth.
ROH: Okay. So she was a descendant on the Dee side of Utah Construction. Are there
any stories that you could share about Elizabeth that might be connected to one
of the gifts that the Foundation has made, just kind of looking back?
JL: I can't think of a lot of stories. I do know this, you can go up to Weber State and
stand in one spot and look North, South, East, and West, and would not find a
spot that you wouldn't see Elizabeth's influence, starting with the Bell Tower,
then the Library, now we have Elizabeth Hall, then a wing of the Art Center for
her mother, the Dee Events Center—she was a large sponsor of the Dee Events
Center. I'm sure I'm missing some but—Lampros Hall, Hurst Center, Stromberg
Center, all resulted from her influence.
ROH: Tell me about currently what's happening with the Stewart Education Foundation.
I know that it's been really wonderful to have the Stewart Education Foundation
in Ogden because you give not only to Weber State, but to lots of other
organizations in town and it helps the city. So tell me a little bit about some of the
other projects that the Foundation helps with.
JL: Well, we built the Amphitheater in downtown Ogden by the City and County
Building. We've helped almost every organization—the Nature Center, the Eccles
Community Arts Center, the Weber County Libraries. I'm hard pressed to think of
it all. We've worked with United Way in helping them. We've established
scholarship programs through the Ogden Rotary Club, let them make scholarship
presentations. We are currently suffering from the economic recession that our
start portfolio is down considerably in value. We're trying to economize some of
the gifts that we are making until we can get back on a level playing field again.
The stock market collapse of 2008 hit our Foundation extremely hard. As a
result, we are over committed in our gifts and we're trying to not accept, request,
or make time, making any more pledges for the foreseeable future. We are
paying now on the new student dormitories at Weber State University, but we still
have a few years yet to make those payments. I think three more years before
we have that pledge completed. After that we don't have any pledges and we are
committed to kind of holding back a little bit and being very careful and selective
in anything that we commit to in the future until the economy turns around. There
for awhile, we were so overwhelmed with funds that if an organization came and
asked us for ten thousand dollars we'd give them a hundred thousand, but then
things changed.
ROH: That's a nice position to be in.
JL: We hope we'll be back in that position again one of these days.
ROH: I'm sure you will. You are all very savvy. Is there anything that I might not have
asked you that you would like to say about the Stewart Education Foundation as
far as historical information or something that I might not have touched upon?
JL: Well, I'm sure there is but I can't think of anything at this exact moment. I
probably will as soon as you leave.
ROH: Okay. I wanted to try to capture a snapshot of the history and of your involvement
and how all of this came about because I don't think we have an oral history
version of the beginnings of the Stewart Education Foundation. I'd like to thank
you very much for your time.
JL: My pleasure.
[Jack Lampros's personal thoughts of Dr. Ann Millner]
JL: I've known Dr. Millner for nearly all the twenty years she has been here with
Weber State University. I first met her when she became associated with the
Development area. During the time that I've known Dr. Millner I have found her to
be a woman of exceptional capabilities and integrity. Her sparkling personality
and her great intellect has won her the hearts of all of Utah. She will be greatly
missed as she steps down from the helm as President of Weber State University.
I know I will miss her, my family will miss her, everyone I've talked to will miss
her. It will be hard to replace her. In fact, I don't think she can be replaced. I think
she will be succeeded but never replaced. We have a winter home down in
Florida and during the ten years that Dr. Millner has been President of the
University, each year she has found some time to come down and spend a few
days with Betty and me at our winter home in Fort Myers, Florida. Those were
visits that Betty and I eagerly looked forward to and they were fun times. We did
some great things. We took a ferry boat ride over to Key West. We rode a sea
plane to the Dry Tortugus [National Park.] We went alligator sighting in the
Everglades. We did nature tours and even attended a bonsai tree workshop. Last
year I took her on a tour of cemeteries where my ancestors had been buried. I'm
sure that was boring to her but she acted like she enjoyed it. That was another
great trait of Dr. Millner. Every time I would talk to her she would give me her
undivided attention and act like what I was saying was the most important thing
she had ever heard. Of course, that endeared her to me a great deal. When she
was in Florida, if there was an important athletic event coming up here at Weber
State or some other important occasion, she would end her trip, head to the
airport, and make it back to Utah so that she could be on hand to encourage the
students. You talk about bleeding purple. She really supported the University. I
was always amazed at her stamina—the way she was able to go—her
administrative skills, her fundraising talents, her teaching abilities, they are all just
superb. Betty and I are going to miss our monthly lunches with you, Ann. We've
enjoyed those little visits and we'll certainly miss them. Our wish is that a kind
providence will smile down on you in your future endeavors.

'Fiscal cliff' crisis barely over, Obama presses for action on raising US borrowing limit
HONOLULU (AP) -- President Barack Obama is hailing a last-minute deal that pulled the country back from the "fiscal cliff," but warned that he "will not compromise" over his insistence that Congress lift the federal debt ceiling.
Obama said in his radio and Internet address Saturday that the fiscal cliff deal, approved by Congress on New Year's Day and signed Thursday, raises taxes on the wealthiest Americans while preventing a middle-class tax increase that could have thrown the economy back into recession.
With one crisis behind him, Obama faces new battles in Congress over raising the country's $16.4 trillion borrowing limit, as well as scaling back more than $100 billion in automatic spending cuts for the military and domestic programs. The cuts are delayed by two months under the compromise.
Lawmakers promise to replace those across-the-board cuts with more targeted steps that could take longer to implement.
Obama, speaking from Hawaii, where he is on vacation with his family, said he is willing to consider more spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the deficit.
Fresh internal clashes among Republicans are public, vicious -- just as GOP looks to regroup
BOSTON (AP) -- The Republican Party seems as divided and angry as ever.
Infighting has penetrated the highest levels of the House GOP leadership. Long-standing geographic tensions have increased, pitting endangered Northeastern Republicans against their colleagues from other parts of the country. Enraged tea party leaders are threatening to knock off dozens of Republicans who supported a measure that raised taxes on the nation's highest earners.
"People are mad as hell. I'm right there with them," Amy Kremer, chairman of the Tea Party Express, said late last week, declaring that she has "no confidence" in the party her members typically support. Her remarks came after GOP lawmakers agreed to higher taxes but no broad spending cuts as part of a deal to avert the "fiscal cliff."
"Anybody that voted 'yes' in the House should be concerned" about primary challenges in 2014, she said.
At the same time, one of the GOP's most popular voices, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, blasted his party's "toxic internal politics" after House Republicans initially declined to approve disaster relief for victims of Superstorm Sandy. He said it was "disgusting to watch" their actions and he faulted the GOP's most powerful elected official, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
Some guns shows limiting displays, canceling in wake of scrutiny after Conn. school shooting
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) -- Several gun shows, all about an hour's drive from Newtown, Conn., have been canceled.
A show in White Plains, N.Y. -- brought back a few years ago after being called off for a decade because of the Columbine shooting -- is off because officials decided it didn't seem appropriate now, either. In Danbury, Conn. -- about 10 miles west of Newtown -- the venue backed out. Same with three other shows in New York's Hudson Valley, according to the organizer.
Gun advocates aren't backing down from their insistence on the right to keep and bear arms. But heightened sensitivities and raw nerves since the Newtown shooting have led to toned-down displays at gun shows and prompted some officials and sponsors to cancel the well-attended exhibitions altogether.
Some of the most popular guns will be missing from next weekend's gun show in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., after show organizers agreed to bar the display and sale of AR-15 military-style semiautomatic weapons and their large-clip magazines.
"The majority of people wanted these guns out of the city," said Chris Mathiesen, Saratoga Springs' public safety commissioner. "They don't want them sold in our city, and I agree. Newtown, Conn., is not that far away."
Venezuela keeps same legislative chief amid uncertainty about ailing leader
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Allies of cancer-stricken President Hugo Chavez on Saturday chose to keep the same National Assembly president -- a man who could be in line to step in as a caretaker leader in some circumstances.
The vote to retain Diosdado Cabello as legislative leader signaled the ruling party's desire to stress unity and continuity amid growing signs the government plans to postpone Chavez's inauguration for a new term while he fights a severe respiratory infection nearly a month after cancer surgery in Cuba.
The opposition and some legal experts have argued that if Chavez is unable to be sworn in as scheduled on Thursday, the president of the National Assembly should take over on an interim basis.
Cabello's selection quashed speculation about possible political reshuffling in the midst of Chavez's health crisis, and it came as Vice President Nicolas Maduro joined other allies in suggesting that Chavez could remain president and take the oath of office before the Supreme Court later on if he isn't fit to be sworn in on the scheduled date.
"It strikes me that the government has decided to put things on hold, to wait and see what happens with Chavez's health and other political factors, and figure out the best way to insure continuity," said Michael Shifter, president of the Inter-American Dialogue think tank in Washington. "Maduro and Cabello are clearly the key players within Chavismo today, each heading separate factions, but for the time being the idea is to reaffirm both and project a sense of unity."
Salvage operators, Coast Guard prepare for attempt to pull Shell drill ship off Alaska island
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Royal Dutch Shell PLC will try to move its grounded drill ship out of the worst of the North Pacific's fury with a towing attempt when conditions allow.
Shell incident commander Sean Churchfield said at a press conference Saturday that naval architects have pronounced the Kulluk fit to be towed. The attempt will depend on weather, tides and readiness, he said.
"I can't offer you firm times. Right now, the preparation for the tow depends on the weather and operational constraints," Churchfield said. "We will be looking to move the vessel as soon as we are ready and able."
If the drill ship can be pulled from the rocks off Sitkalidak Island, it will be towed 30 miles to shelter in Kodiak Island's Kiliuda Bay, a cove about 43 miles southeast of the city of Kodiak.
The Kulluk is a circular barge 266 feet in diameter with a funnel-shaped, reinforced steel hull that allows it to operate in ice. One of two Shell ships that drilled last year in the Arctic Ocean, it has a 160-foot derrick rising from its center and no propulsion system of its own.
Son of Missoni fashion patriarch among 6 aboard small plane missing off Venezuela
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Rescue crews used boats and aircraft on Saturday to search for a small plane that disappeared off Venezuela carrying the CEO of Italy's iconic Missoni fashion house and five other people.
But more than a day after the BN-2 Islander aircraft disappeared from radar screens on its short flight from the Venezuelan resort islands of Los Roques to Caracas, no sign of the plane had been found, officials said.
"We have no other news" about the plane carrying 58-year-old Vittorio Missoni, the head of the company; his wife, Maurizia Castiglioni; two of their Italian friends; and two Venezuelan crew members, said Paolo Marchetti, a Missoni SpA official. He spoke briefly to reporters as he left company headquarters in the northern Italian town of Sumirago on Saturday afternoon.
Missoni's younger brother, Luca, who is active in the family-run business, was reportedly traveling to Venezuela on Saturday to monitor search efforts.
"We're holding onto a glimmer of hope," said Oswaldo Scalvenzi , a relative of Elda Scalvenzi, one of the Missoni friends aboard the flight. "Until we can see the wreckage" hope will remain, Scalvenzi told Italian state TV on Saturday night.
Rare photo of teenage princess-to-be Diana with young friend set for auction in NH
AMHERST, N.H. (AP) -- A photo marked "not to be published" that shows a teenage Diana Spencer before she became Princess of Wales, with a young friend seated beside her, will be featured in an auction this month in New Hampshire.
The photograph might never have been seen publicly until now, RR Auction said.
Stamped February 1981 on the back, the photo was taken around the time Charles, the Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer ended months of speculation and announced they were to be married.
The photo came from the Caren Archive, a major private collection of rare newspapers and other publications, and was purchased seven years ago from the Daily Mirror newspaper.
Bobby Livingston, vice president of RR Auction, said Saturday that neither the auction house nor Caren Archive, knew the identity of the young man in the photo. However, he said he understood that a British newspaper had been able to identify him.
South Carolina woman listed as oldest US citizen, Mamie Rearden, dies at 114
A 114-year-old South Carolina woman who was the oldest living U.S. citizen has died, two of her daughters said Saturday.
Mamie Rearden of Edgefield, who held the title as the country's oldest person for about two weeks, died Wednesday at a hospital in Augusta, Ga., said Sara Rearden of Burtonsville, Md., and Janie Ruth Osborne of Edgefield. They said their mother broke her hip after a fall about three weeks ago.
Gerontology Research Group, which verifies age information for Guinness World Records, listed Mamie Rearden as the oldest living American after last month's passing of 115-year-old Dina Manfredini of Iowa. Rearden's Sept. 7, 1898, birth was recorded in the 1900 U.S. Census, the group's Robert Young said.
Rearden was more than a year younger than the world's oldest person, 115-year-old Jiroemon Kimura of Japan.
"My mom was not president of the bank or anything, but she was very instrumental in raising a family and being a community person," said Sara Rearden, her youngest child. "Everybody can't go be president of a bank or president of a college, but we feel just as proud of her in her role as housewife and particularly as mother and homemaker."
Foster runs for 140 yards & TD; defense shuts down Bengals as Texans get 19-13 playoff win
HOUSTON (AP) -- J.J. Watt swatted away passes, Arian Foster ran away from tacklers and the Houston Texans did just enough to knock Cincinnati out of the playoffs for the second straight year.
Matt Schaub made his first postseason start a successful one when Foster's 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter helped the Texans to a 19-13 AFC wild-card win over the Bengals on Saturday.
"The whole stadium knew we had to line up and run the ball and boy, he was at his best there at the end," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's become a fine, fine player, and it just seems like the bigger it gets, the better Arian gets."
Now comes the big test. The Texans (13-4) move on to the second round on Jan. 13, when they visit the New England Patriots, who beat them 42-14 in Week 14. This time they're 9 ½-point underdogs.
"It's one step," Watt said of the win. "We know what it means, and we have bigger goals than that."
Rodgers sharp, short TD runs by Harris, Kuhn put Packers up 24-3 over Vikings after 3
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- DuJuan Harris and John Kuhn had short touchdown runs, Kuhn caught a scoring pass from Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers took a 24-3 lead over the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday night into the fourth quarter in their NFC wild-card playoff game.
Christian Ponder was inactive for the Vikings because of a right elbow injury so Joe Webb started at quarterback for the first time all season, and Rodgers made the passing gap between the two teams even wider. Rodgers went 19 for 26 for 260 yards and no turnovers, leading touchdown drives of 82, 62 and 80 yards.
With Adrian Peterson being boxed in by a fired-up Packers defense that he gashed for 409 yards rushing over the previous two meetings this season, Webb had to go to work in his first start of the season.
The results weren't pretty. Webb tripped over Clay Matthews to give the Packers star an easy sack early in the second quarter, and he was called for intentional grounding while being swarmed behind the line of scrimmage on the next play.
Webb ran five times for 60 yards, but he completed only seven of his first 20 attempts for a measly 61 yards. Peterson gained 69 yards on 19 carries.

Growing up a hotel heiress with incredible wealth and few rules, her hard-partying ways, flashy style and sex tape were the stuff of legend even before she and her pooch Tinkerbell hit the small screen with Nicole Richie in the 2003 fish-out-of-water reality series The Simple Life. The series' success led to a jewelry line, autobiography Confessions of an Heiress, a Saturday Night Live hosting gig (which she did solo and is rumored to be the cause of her two-year feud with Richie), racy Carl's Jr. ad, self-titled dance CD, and a killer death scene in House Of Wax. Her love life has always been tabloid-worthy was well. After making the sex tape with Shannen Doherty ex Rick Salomon and dating Nick Carter, she got engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis in 2005 only to move on with another Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos months later. Niarchos partied with Lindsay Lohan (eventually Hilton's opponent in a wordless dance-off) while Hilton was in Austria so she retaliated by hanging with NFL player Matt Leinart. After making up with Richie and filming season 5 of TSL, she stepped out with her husband's brother Good Charlotte's Benji Madden for nine months. Next came Doug Reinhardt (2009-10) and Cy Waits (2010-11). And let's not forget her many run-ins with the law. She was arrested in 2006 for DUI and was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation in 2007. In August 2010, the 29 year old was arrested in Vegas for cocaine possession, just a month after she was caught with marijuana in Corsica.

Grace's first day of Montessori preschool, 1997.
Last summer, my 19-year-old daughter was getting ready to move into her first apartment. I was excited for her to have the chance to live on her own and had been setting aside household items that I thought she could use. One day, after admiring the "steal" of a chair I had found at Goodwill, she asked me, "Aren't you sad that I won't live here anymore?"
"Well, honey," I said, "I always imagined that you would grow up and move out of the house. That was our goal all along for you to be an independent, self-sufficient person."
"I know," she said. "But I'm kind of sad that I won't be sleeping here anymore."
I reminded her that she had hardly slept at home at all since she started college last year. She lived in the dorm, four hours away from home and we often didn't hear from her for days.
"Yeah, but this is different. I just can't believe this won't be my home address anymore. Are you going to change the garage door code?"
A-ha! Then I figured it out. She was worried about cutting the cord from the house where she grew up. I had been concerning myself with making sure she was comfortable "out there" and she was worried she would no longer be welcome back at home.
It occurred to me that not much has changed between that day and the day sixteen years ago when we were preparing to send her to preschool here at the Montessori School of Greater Lafayette. Back then we were so excited to help our "baby" pick out a new lunch box and indoor shoes but we had little idea what to do to help prepare her (or ourselves) emotionally for this new chapter. She sailed through preschool and is now working through nursing school just fine, but we have learned a lot since then. Today I am sharing some tips and advice gathered from teachers and parents here at MSGL to help you and your child prepare for the first days of preschool.
Talk about school - mindfully.
Talk with your child about preschool when he is in the mood. Maybe he will bring it up or you can start the conversation, just don't push too hard. If your child seems "done" with the conversation or is becoming anxious, let the topic drop until later. And be honest about your feelings when you do talk about school. Some children worry that their parents will be sad or lonely when they are gone. When you say, "I am going to miss being with you in the morning, but it makes me happy to know you will be enjoying yourself at school," it lets him know that you will miss him but you are confident that school is a good place for him to be.
Check out the new environment.
MSGL's Parent Work Day is Saturday, August 16th. This is a great time to get familiar with the school and classroom environments and to be part of the school community. Children are encouraged to help clean lockers, pull weeds, and load and unload wheelbarrows full of mulch right alongside their parents and new classmates. And, each family member's time counts towards your volunteer hours requirement.
You will have another opportunity to get familiar with the school when your child attends her New Student Orientation visit on Monday, August 18th. This is her first opportunity to see her teachers and classmates in her new classroom. She can put her indoor shoes in her locker, locate her cubby and extra clothes box, and see where the bathroom is. The whole family can attend the Parent Orientation later that evening and maybe your child can give a tour of her new classroom.
Make new friends.
You will receive a class list via email in August. Consider contacting a few families on the list to set up a playdate before school starts. Even if you can't get together with any other families, you and your child can look over the names on the list together. You may discover that one of his classmates lives on your street or maybe someone has the same name as a sibling or a friend.
Help her dress for success.
Our Montessori classrooms are prepared to encourage your child's independence and you can help by providing your child with shoes and clothing that she can put on and take off by herself. Belts, suspenders, and jumpsuits look smart but they can be difficult for your child to use successfully. Provide your child a choice of clothing that allows her complete independence in her self-care routines. And please remember that preschool is a time to jump in and explore. Paint, snack, sand, and dirt from the garden can stain your child's clothing, so please send her to school in clothes that can stand to get dirty.
Plan a morning routine.
Now is a good time to do a mental run-through of your morning routine. Consider how much time your child needs to wake up, get dressed, and eat breakfast. Allow time for packing lunches, finding coats and shoes, and getting on the bike or in the car. Then add a few extra minutes. Parents and children who are not in a rush tend to have much better experiences at drop-off. Some families even do a few "practice runs" in the summer to see if they can get to school and work on time.
Create a goodbye routine.
Discuss with your child how you each want to say goodbye at drop-off. Some families say, "After you put on your inside shoes and put away your lunch box, we will walk to the classroom and I will give you three hugs and two kisses before I go to work." Some children like to wave to dad out the window and some parents leave their children with specific plans for what they will do after school. "Sonia is picking you up today" or "we are going to the Farmer's Market on our bikes after school today." Children have so little control over their daily lives that they appreciate at least knowing what is happening and when.
And while we're talking about goodbyes, let's take just a moment to consider the specter of separation anxiety.
What if my child cries when I walk away?
Separating from your child that first time can be heart-breaking, but remember - it's only for a few moments. The majority of children who are sad when they separate from their parents are able to calm themselves and choose an activity within a few minutes. If you have gone through the goodbye routine and are finding it hard to turn around and walk away, ask your teacher for help. Sometimes parents say, "Please help me. I need to leave." That is the teacher's sign that she needs to hold your child's hand or pick her up so that you can walk away. Teachers don't want to step in before you are ready to go but they are happy to help when you ask them.
The best thing you can do for your child at drop-off is to be consistent and walk away when you say you will. Lingering tends to just prolong the heartache for the parent and the child. The first few times you drop your child off may be difficult, but trust that with consistent repetition you and your child will develop a peaceful good-bye routine.
Talk with the teachers.
Talk with your child's teachers about how the adjustment period is going. The teachers help dozens of children adjust to school every year but this may be your first time. They expect you will have questions and concerns. Email is a great way to communicate with your child's teachers and all of the contact information is available on the classroom web page at Msgl.org.
Help your child talk about his day.
If this is the first time your child has been away from home you will no doubt be very eager to know what he did all day. Unfortunately, preschoolers often say they "did nothing" or "just played." A lot of things happened between the time you dropped him off that morning and when you picked him up several hours later, but he might not yet be able to give a sequential list of his activities. Here are some ideas to help your child tell you about his day.
Take care of yourself!
The best thing you can do during these last few weeks of summer is to give you and your child the gift of a regular bedtime that allows enough sleep to wake up refreshed and ready for the big days ahead. Fill up with a good breakfast each morning and be extra patient with your child and especially with yourself. Parenting preschoolers, like college students, is hard work and there is no right way to do it. Follow your heart and follow your child, and in sixteen years, or so, you will be very proud of the people you have both become.
What are "Indoor" Shoes?
MSGL students get to play outside every day that the weather allows. This means their shoes can get wet and muddy. To avoid tracking that dirt onto the carpet, we ask that you provide your child with one pair of shoes to wear outside and one pair to wear inside.
Your child will probably change outdoor shoes with the seasons - from sandals to sneakers to snow boots - but indoor shoes can stay the same all year. Walking around in the classroom with bare feet is not allowed, so a comfy pair of shoes that the child enjoys wearing is a must.
Below are some good examples of indoor shoes that work well for the children. These styles of shoes keep a child's foot dry from spills, are non-slip, stay attached to the foot, and they allow the child to get them on and off by themselves.
Below are some examples of indoor shoes that DO NOT work well for the children. Slippers are not water-resistant and they can be difficult to walk in. If a child has not yet learned to tie, shoes with laces can be impossible for a child to get on and off by himself. Please save these types of shoes to wear at home.
Because so many children choose the same types of shoes, please be sure to write your child's name on each shoe so we know whose shoes are whose. If you want to be fancy, you can order personalized labels for shoes and clothing online.
Your thoughtfulness when shopping for indoor shoes will help put your child on the path to independence. Thank you!
The MSGL photo archives are a bit disorganized and I usually have to sift through them to come up with a Wayback Wednesday post, but this week the work was already done. After leading the toddler families on this field trip to Lafayette's Columbian Park Zoo in the Spring of 1998, teacher Suman Harshvardhan put together this little photo album for the children.
These kiddos are college freshmen (or nearly) now. Thanks for reading and have a great Wednesday!

Some brave ladies say enough is enough. They have a message for the young punks ruining their neighborhood -- get out or we will throw you out.These good citizens feel like prisoners. For most of them, these are their golden years, but they feel like they have been robbed of precious time.Shirley McNeal is 67 years old, which really isn't old at all."But if you live under fear, I might as well be 100, you know, and not be here," she said."Not be here," Ms. Shirley said, when she has lived on Detroit's west side for 27 years."They might as well do like they did in Russia, dig a hole and just kill us and throw us in it because senior citizens are no longer respected," McNeal said.Back in the day, her street, "I made this my safe haven." But now, she and her fellow neighbors and friends "don't feel safe anymore."Why?"Because of the guys that [are] hanging around in the neighborhood," McNeal said."They're walking up to you with guns," said Bernice Early."I don't know who's lurking in the alley," said Linda Bledsoe."We've had so many break-ins," McNeal said."They sneak up on you," Early said."They're youngsters," McNeal said."They may retaliate against you or something, so a lot of us just stay in our houses and keep the doors closed," Bledsoe said."We can't come out unless somebody else comes out to help watch us, like we need baby-sitters because we're just that fearful," McNeal said."I'm scared to come in at night," Bledsoe said."They are going from house to house. It seems like the senior citizens are targeted," McNeal said.They said young thugs have taken over this community, intimidated homeowners and the little ones that live there, too."My fear is that one of these kids [is] going to either get hit by a car or they're going to get raped," McNeal said.These feisty women who live near Fenkell are fed up, but they are strong, and they are standing together, they say, to save their lives."We just made up our minds at the block club meeting that we weren't going to take it anymore," Bledsoe said."We're right at death. We're not going to live as long we have lived. So why we can't live it happily?" McNeal said."We want our block back, and we're going to take our block back by any means necessary," Bledsoe said.These ladies always have and always will call the police when something is not right, but these women are fighters for what's right.

An Homage to the Artist's Cult Moments Marks a New Met Retrospective
Campbell's soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles and fragmented celebrity appear in photographer Leon Chew's Warhol-inspired still life series, in advance of an epic exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art exploring the pop artist's legacy. Featuring 150 works from some of the biggest artists of the past half-century, Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years seeks to explore whether the silver-haired provocateur is the most important artist of his time. Engaging with Warhol's own themes of consumer culture, mass-production and appropriation, curators Mark Rosenthal and Marla Prather have paired his works with conceptual heirs such as John Baldessari, Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter, Damien Hirst and Ai Weiwei (whose branded neolithic urns sit as a celebration of Warhol's Brillo boxes). "We wanted to juxtapose Warhol with other artists to observe and understand how his example was amplified upon, altered and changed," says Rosenthal. Working with set designer Robert Storey, Chew riffed on Warhol's own still life photography by referencing key people, subjects or works associated with the Factory. "They're ubiquitous objects that speak of life, death, sex and power," explains Storey. "The objects represent pop culture, which is ultimately timeless and accessible to any generation."
Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years runs from September 18 to December 31, 2012, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

A warrant was served Tuesday afternoon on Pronto Mart, near 59th Avenue and Missouri Avenue in Phoenix, after the Glendale Police Department received a tip that the store could be manufacturing and potentially selling the illegal drug Spice.
Glendale's Police Department's Special Investigations Unit detectives received a tip from Arizona Tax Revenue officers after they did a routine inspection on the Pronto Mart. The revenue inspectors told Glendale SIU detectives they saw evidence of the illegal spice drug in the back two rooms of the business.
When SIU served the search warrant at Pronto Mart they seized nearly 6,000 vials believed to contain the illegal drug spice. In addition raw containers weighing close to 250 pounds of raw materials that had been sprayed with A.K.B, an illegal active ingredient that produces the high when the substance is smoked, were also seized by SIU.
The store manager, Abrahim Sayegh, 39, told SIU detectives that he had purchased the herb from California and the A.K.B. came from a supplier in China over the last six months.
Sayegh also admitted that he was selling the spice online in addition to other stores in the area, according to SIU detectives.
Sayegh will have felony charges submitted against him for the Possession of Dangerous Drugs for Sale and Manufacturing Dangerous Drugs since he is believed to have been selling and manufacturing the illegal drug.
According to the new House Bill 2327 that took effect on April 3, 2013 the selling of any synthetic drug used to mimic THC or methamphetamine is illegal.

A man who went on a mission to find a kidney donor may have gotten some good news.The FOX Medical Team's Beth Galvin first reported on Larry Miller back in July. The Henry County man was actively trying to find a stranger in his community who might be willing to donate a kidney.The 79-year-old man's kidneys were at 18 percent normal function and failing. "I really don't want to go on dialysis. I pray that I don't have to. I pray for a donor to step forward," Miller said at the time.Miller passed out business cards and flyers all over McDonough and Stockbridge. As it turned out, the stranger he was looking for may have found Larry on McDonough Square. One day Larry took his flyers to Gritz, which is owned by Greg Burkes."He came into the store and said, 'Can I put this up in there?' I looked at it, I very rarely say no to anything, it's always for a good cause," Burkes said.Burkes stuck the flyer up in the window and that's where Jessica Brannon strolled into the story.Brannon works directly across the McDonough Square from Gritz at the Square Market. "It was on one of my off days and I called a friend and we were going to meet for breakfast at Gritz," Brannon said. "So when we went in, I saw his sign in the window...and the part I noticed most was just, 'A veteran needs a kidney.' That made me want to call and help him." Jessica, who owns a small bakery called Flour Power, lost her grandfather in Vietnam and another young friend in Afghanistan, so she's got a soft spot for veterans."And so I thought, 'Well, I'm young and I'm healthy. If I can help someone, I'll do it,'" said Brannon.Jessica called Emory University Hospital to see if she could be Larry Miller's match."I've done blood testing four times, CAT scans, EKGs, chest x-rays, meetings with the surgeons," Brannon said. This is where Larry's small town story gets even smaller. He still didn't know about Jessica because the testing process she'd just begun is anonymous."I think a week after that I went to a church picnic, and some friends of mine were saying, 'Oh, have you met the Millers? They're customers of yours and they love your cinnamon rolls,'" said Brannon. "Didn't even know we went to the same church; he had recently started going there."Jessica and Larry have become friends. If they get the final go-ahead they're hoping for from Emory, they'll be linked for life."It's mind-boggling. And I know I thank God every day, and I know my wife does, too," Miller said.
Jessica said she's had no doubts about becoming Larry's donor.In the earlier story, we also introduced you to Jennifer Doyal. She's a 33-year-old Peachtree City mother of three in kidney failure who started a Facebook page called "Jennifer Needs A Kidney." So far, she has not been able to find a donor.

What to do with pairs?
I tried redrawing the picture with a special color, every time the big was on the left, or the big was on the right, but those weren't informative.
I've tried collecting all the bigger/smaller items in each pair, and running them together to make a message, but it looks like garbage.
I've tried treating the pairs as a binary string, where 1's mean left is bigger, and 0's mean right is bigger (and vice versa), but that didn't yield anythng recognizable. either.
I've tried looking at the 42nd row and 42nd column...nothing unusual there.
Can anyone (in public or PM, I don't care) help me get unstuck?
