A group of Boy Scout and church leaders have proposed creating a troop sponsored by the Utah Pride Center, aiming to include boys whose parents have opposed Scouting because of its gay membership ban.
The applicants, including a member of the Great Salt Lake Council's executive committee, assert they are all "open" and "avowed" straight individuals.
Conflicting missions?
The Boy Scouts of America has denied a troop application by the Utah Pride Center because of conflicting missions. Here are the two group's mission statements.
"Utah Pride is a catalyst for building and celebrating the strength, equality, dignity and self-determination of the LGBTQ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning] community throughout Utah. We are committed to excellence in execution and the continuing improvement of all programs, services, education and advocacy. We value and support individuals, families, and allies and building partnerships across communities."
Boy Scouts of America mission, oath, law
"The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law."
The Scout Oath (or Promise) » "On my honor I will do my best, to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight."
The Scout Law » "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent."

But the council, through the national Boy Scouts of America (BSA), has denied the new troop application.
"The BSA is engaged in an internal discussion about its membership standards policy and is working to stay focused on Scouting's mission," Deron Smith, public relations director for Boy Scouts, said in an email to The Salt Lake Tribune.
"Based on the mission of the [Utah Pride Center], we do not believe a chartered partner relationship is beneficial to Scouting," he wrote.
The BSA is expected to announce after a May vote whether it will keep or change its ban on openly gay members and leaders.
Nile Eatmon, a member of the council's executive committee, had agreed to lead the new troop committee and said he sees no conflict. The Utah Pride Center is a nonprofit based in Salt Lake City to serve Utah's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
"I was surprised. I thought the Pride Center application complied with the Boy Scouts' policies," Eatmon said. "All the adult members and youth that were submitted with the application were straight."
The BSA charters local organizations, such as churches, clubs, civic associations, to carry out the Scouting program within their communities. The organizations run the Scout units, which are supported by local councils of volunteers and paid employees.
The applicants said applying for a Utah Pride Center troop was not done as a stunt. The application included the names of 10 middle-school-age children who would join.
Peter Brownstein, the leader of an existing troop in Salt Lake City, said the new troop would reach kids whose parents would not otherwise allow them to join due to of opposition to the gay membership ban.
"I sincerely believe that the current Scout policy is a barrier, and without it, more young men would otherwise be able to benefit from a great program," Brownstein said, "and [I] look forward to the future when more young men will be able to benefit."
The national BSA policy reads: "While the BSA does not proactively inquire about the sexual orientation of employees, volunteers or members, we do not grant membership to individuals who are open or avowed homosexuals or who engage in behavior that would become a distraction to the mission of the BSA."
In 2000, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the right of the Boy Scouts to expel a gay assistant scoutmaster, saying that as a private organization, it had the right to decide what values it wanted to inculcate.
Rick Barnes, Great Salt Lake Council executive, said he forwarded the Pride Center application on to the national office.
"They called me back, they've researched it, and it is not consistent with our mission so we deny their application as a charter partner," Barnes said. "Their mission is not consistent with our mission."
In addition to Eatmon and Brownstein, the Utah Pride Center troop committee would include Fred Wenger, rabbi emeritus of Kol Ami Synagogue, and Rev. Tom Goldsmith of the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City.
Valerie Larabee, executive director of the Utah Pride Center, said the troop members would understand and accept the BSA "don't ask, don't tell" gay policy.
"I think kids deserve an opportunity to participate equally with other kids and I think the Boy Scouts are not there yet," Larabee said. "You're not setting a child up for a life of integrity — be one thing one moment, and lie about who they really are another. They can be out to their family but not out in Boy Scouts."

By Brad Haynes
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazil's Embraer SA
The order, which included options for 40 additional E-175 jets, is worth a combined $2.9 billion at list prices, providing a silver lining for the company after weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings.
Hurt by rising labor costs and a drop in commercial aircraft production, Embraer posted a 67 percent drop in first-quarter net income to $30 million, falling short of an average estimate of $58 million in a Reuters poll.
The new order from United Continental
"Without a doubt, this order makes it more likely we'll increase the pace of production next year," said Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, the head of Embraer's commercial aviation unit, in a telephone interview.
"We're doing really well this year."
The planemaker is trimming output of its regional E-Jets by as much as 15 percent in 2013 after years of scarce demand. But fresh demand has been unleashed after major U.S. airlines last year renegotiated labor contracts that had limited their regional fleets to jets with 50 or fewer seats.
United said it expects its new E-175s to achieve fuel savings of 10 percent compared to the 50-seater regional jets they will replace in 2013 and 2014.
Silva said he continues to expect 200 to 400 new orders for regional jets from major U.S. carriers between this year and the middle of 2014.
Canadian rival Bombardier Inc
"American and (planned merger partner) US Airways
Waning production of Embraer's regional jets seating less than 120 passengers, its biggest source of revenue, was offset in the first quarter by rising revenue from its defense and executive jet divisions.
But the less profitable product mix and rising labor costs weighed on operating profit. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a gauge of operating profit known as EBITDA, fell by nearly a third to $100 million, missing a forecast of $135 million in the Reuters survey.
The retroactive cost of a recent wage hike and a $9 million provision for an outstanding labor lawsuit also hurt EBITDA.

"Beautiful birth announcement. Good quality paper. I ended up needing more and the additional announcements were shipped out immediately. Excellent customer service- would definitely order other products."
"I thought the card looked amazing when designing it, but was blown away by the style and quality one printed! These announcements were simply stunning and look like we spent a small fortune, when we really didn't! I can wait for our next purchase!"
"I used this birth announcement as my daughters 9 month pictures for family and friends! I loved it! The only draw back to this card was the size restraint on the text. The program kept me from making the text larger, which in turn made the text difficult to read in some areas. And when I got the product I could see that there was plenty of room for more space in the text area."
"I used this photo as an addition to my daughter's fourth birthday invitations. I do not send out too many holiday cards, so I wanted to send out something to just kind of say "Hi! We're doing well and are thinking of all of you" with her invitations. The template was very easy to use and fit well with the photographs I had taken of my daughter. Although it looks to be used primarily for birth announcements, I found the text very easy to edit and manipulate into whatever I specifically wanted it to be. Unlike other templates, I truly believe the possibilities are endless with this one! All text that is included on card is editable, therefore you can make it fit with any occasion you need :)"
"I already knew I had a beautiful photo to use, so I was just hoping that the quality of the print would be just as good...and it was!! I was extremely happy with the quality of the print, the thickness of the card and the size of the card. I was also grateful for the tip on using a regular size envelope to save on postage. Overall I am extremely happy with my prints."

The OMHA Players Club presented by Bauer Hockey is all about providing new and exciting challenges to help players celebrate hockey skills and develop their game at home throughout the year!
These programs reinforce the concepts introduced by Hockey Canada's Long Term Player Development (LTPD) model which sets out a development progression or pathway for hockey players. There's evidence to show that daily micro-practices are effective and often more effective to longer practice sessions once or twice a week. When you practice a little each day, skills become more natural and are easily to apply to games.
Our goal is to educate players, coaches, and parents on the LTPD model in a fun and easy way.
"This is a great program because it's simple, it gives players the opportunity to take ownership of their own skill development and its fun!" said OMHA Director, Development Programs, Ian Taylor. "It is a simple way to educate players, coaches, and parents on the LTPD model in a fun and easy way. "
Individual players can sign up for the OMHA Players Club to receive an OMHA Players Club helmet sticker immediately. Each player will also receive weekly tips, motivation, gain access to exclusive deals and chances to win prizes throughout the year! Upon submission of your tracking sheet, we will send you a prize courtesy of Bauer Hockey for your hard work and dedication.
Teams are encouraged to register for the OMHA Players Club by utilizing the team registration sheet. Each team that registers to take part in the OMHA Players Club will be given a Bauer Hockey Prize pack that includes a welcome package, Players Club helmet stickers and a piece of Bauer Hockey equipment to give away to a deserving player that completes one of the Players Club Challenges.
Step 1 - Register below for the OMHA Players Club Presented by Bauer Hockey
Step 2 – Download the Tracking Sheet and start practicing
Step 3 – Check your email for weekly tips, special contests and more challenges from the OMHA Players Club
Step 4 - Tell your friends!
Hockey Canada and the OMHA believe in celebrating skill achievement. In Canadian minor hockey, coaches should be encouraged to foster the development of the fundamental skills required to play the game at the minor levels by measuring and providing positive individual feedback on skill development. It is essential that minor hockey associations and parents have a method of measuring success beyond wins and losses
The National Skills Standards & Testing (NSST) is a series of six (6) individual skill tests for Players and three (3) for Goaltenders have been designed to measure the skill level of players. These tests can be administered by team coaches requiring very little equipment, expense and set up time.

Quit Smoking with Acupuncture
People who seek out acupuncture for smoking cessation are usually highly motivated to quit smoking. They may have attempted to quit previously without success, but now feel that they are ready. Their reasons for wanting to stop smoking are varied. Some may have developed health problems from smoking, such as shortness of breath, a chronic cough or an increased frequency of colds and flu; others may not be experiencing adverse health consequences, but want to prevent them from developing and improve their health. Some decide to stop smoking when a loved one develops a smoking-related illness such as emphysema or lung cancer. The diseases associated with smoking are widely known. Many no longer want the expense and dependency of tobacco or they feel a social pressure not to smoke. Ultimately, one has to want to quit smoking for him or herself and not for anyone else. It just won't work. They have to be self-motivated. Every person who chooses acupuncture to quit smoking has a strong desire to quit now, rather than putting it off indefinitely.
What Does the Treatment Involve?
The acupuncture program for smoking cessation at San Francisco Natural Medicine consists of five visits. Before your first appointment, you are sent an extensive questionnaire that gathers information about your smoking history and health background. The form assists in identifying the behaviors, habits and triggers that lead to smoking. Some are social smokers, some smoke for pleasure, some smoke alone or for emotional reasons or when stressed. Nicotine is a powerful mood-altering chemical that can be sedating or stimulating, depending on the individual. A few examples of triggers for smoking are:
Smoking when on the phone
Smoking when angry, upset, sad or lonely
Smoking when drinking coffee or alcohol
At the first appointment, your questionnaire is reviewed and discussed, and a physical exam including blood pressure, lung exam, and methods from
traditional Chinese medicine
(TCM) such as taking the pulse and observing the tongue are employed. The purpose of this interview is to determine the Chinese medical diagnosis for you and the individualized treatment you will receive. Taking into account each person's unique smoking habits and physical and emotional make-up, every patient's acupuncture treatment is tailor-made and designed for him or her. No two people are treated exactly the same. At this session, you learn to identify your particular triggers for smoking and how to avoid them. Acupuncture can reduce the cravings and lessen the withdrawal symptoms associated you're your efforts to quit smoking. Since the first month of quitting is probably the most difficult, the acupuncture program can ease you through this time. The first appointment is geared toward preparing you to become a nonsmoker; it does not include an acupuncture treatment. The next four sessions are acupuncture treatments to help you stop smoking. Up to the night before the first acupuncture treatment, you may smoke your last cigarette ever. From that point on, you will be a nonsmoker. The four acupuncture treatments for your quit smoking program are spaced out over three to four weeks, usually two treatments the first week, and then based on your individual needs. The treatments focus on any physical or emotional withdrawal symptoms that may arise, and also aid in relaxation. Of course, if you are having difficulty quitting, the program may be modified to fit your needs.
Does It Just Involve the Ear or Are Other Points Involved?
There are no "magic" acupuncture points for smoking cessation. Each patient is custom-treated according to his or her specific and unique diagnosis. Usually a combination of body acupuncture points and points on the ear are used. After the needles are inserted, you will relax for about 30 minutes.
Are Any Other Techniques Used Between Sessions?
Often you are prescribed herbs or supplements to control cravings or withdrawal symptoms. Exercise is encouraged and dietary recommendations are given (foods to avoid and foods to be included during the withdrawal phase). Sometimes a small metal pellet is tacked onto a specific point on the ear to reduce cravings.
How Does It Compare to Other Methods?
Because the acupuncture smoking termination program is individualized, it is often successful for those who have been unable to stop smoking through other methods. Often, our patients may have tried Nicorette gum, the nicotine patch or some type of organized program. If the individual sticks with it, the acupuncture quitting program can lead to permanent cessation.
How Much Does the Program Cost?
The total cost of the program is $599.00, which includes the initial consultation and four acupuncture treatments. The herbs, which are prescribed on an individual basis, range in cost from $6.50 to $20.00 each.Our acupuncture program to help you quit smoking will only be effective if you meet us halfway. Acupuncture will not "do it" for you. You need to have a genuine desire to quit smoking. It's very important to enlist the support of friends and family. Everyone will respond to acupuncture and quitting smoking differently. Some may sail through the process with little or no problems, while others may have a harder time with withdrawal. Be assured that acupuncture can reduce the stress and difficulty of quitting smoking, and can aid you in your decision to quit smoking.We support you in your efforts to begin a healthy and smoke-free life!

Darko Milicic could have been a stud, but Larry Brown had to exist
Matt on 08 23, 2009
Why did Darko Milicic fail? I blame Larry Brown. For 2 and a half seasons with the Pistons, Larry Brown never played Darko meaningful minutes. Darko got about 5 minutes a game, all coming in garbage time. Someone in the media even nicknamed him "The human victory cigar", because he only got on the court after the game was decided, a Pistons win or loss.
How can you expect a young talent to improve if he's playing once or twice a week for 5 minutes? You have to throw rookies and young guys into the mix and let them make mistakes and learn. Darko never got that chance, and was completely mentally destroyed from the hellish years in Detroit.
Now, some say with Rasheed and Ben Wallace on the team, there was no room for Darko in the rotation. Mehmet Okur was getting some of the backup time. But really? Darko couldn't sniff the court, at all? He couldn't have gotten in at the end of a quarter or two and worked up a sweat? Learned a few things? He was the #2 pick! He had to have some talent! He's got to have the opportunity to play. How often does a #2 pick not get a chance to prove himself with the team that drafted him? Maybe the pick wouldn't have been such a disaster if Brown gave him the opportunity to play and contribute.
Brown should've slowly increased his minutes, and occasionally gave him minutes in crunch time at least in the regular season to get his feet wet. What coach doesn't let the #2 pick play any meaningful minutes? So disappointing. It sounds funny, but Darko may have been a good player. Larry Brown may have completely ruined Darko. It may shock people, but Larry Brown isn't the perfect coach. He royally messed this one up.
Now sure, some say that if Detroit had drafted Carmelo, Tayshaun wouldn't have developed into the lockdown defender that he did, shutting down Kobe Bryant in the 2004 NBA Finals, the absolute key to the series. Dumars felt he could gamble with a project like Darko because his team was good enough in the meantime.
But Larry Brown didn't even attempt to develop the project that was Darko. He ignored it, almost completely. For a guy who loves taking on team projects, Larry didn't even try with Darko. I know I'm in the minority with this, but I really believe Larry Brown ruined Darko's NBA career.

Holiday Season coming up
With the holiday season coming up, and me being Jewish, I was wondering if there were any ATLA/LOK related Chanuka (Hannukah) pics out there. I've seen plenty of Christmass ones, but hardly any Chanuka ones.
So who knows of any? And perhaps if you're an artist maybe you'd like to draw some to make your fellow ATLA/LOK fans happy during this years' holiday season. :)
These are the ones I did find:

Prosecutors are speaking out about the "not guilty" verdict in the George Zimmerman case. Even though they don't agree with it, they respect the jury and their decision.In her Duval County offices, State Attorney Angela Corey on Monday defended her reasons for filing second-degree murder charge against Zimmerman, saying there was plenty of evidence to support it.
"We felt like second-degree murder was an appropriate charge, and still had manslaughter as a lesser included."She believes someone in the jury agreed with her.
"We felt like one person was requesting the information on manslaughter and pushing for manslaughter, but that's just the way I felt."
Corey also addressed the firing of former Director of Information Technology Ben Kruidbos who was terminated after testifying about concerns that prosecutors didn't turn over photos and text messages from Trayvon Martin's cellphone to the Zimmerman defense team.
"Ben was my friend and a very trusted IT director. How could he accuse me of withholding something I didn't know he had? He knows I would never withhold anything in a criminal case. Ben was misled, I believe. He was still wrong and still had to be fired."
Kruidbos received a termination letter Thursday accusing him of misconduct and "violating numerous state attorney's office policies and procedures." It accused him of disclosure of confidential information, sabotage of property or equipment, and misuse of state attorney equipment.
Corey would not comment on whether federal criminal civil rights charges are warranted in the Zimmerman case, because she is not a civil rights attorney. She said that she never called Zimmerman a racist. She advises people not to threaten him, because it's against the law.
"Justice was served in the sense that George Zimmerman had his due process and day in court, and we represented Trayvon Martin and gave him his day in court. We have to accept the jury's verdict."On a lighter note, we asked Corey about prosecutor John Guy's new found popularity with women, earning him the name "McDreamy."
"He is an excellent lawyer, and I don't want anyone to overlook that fact by focusing on how handsome he is. All three of my lawyers are amazingly talented, and for people wanting to denigrate their talent, it makes my claws want to come out. How dare they?"
Cory said she has been in touch with Trayvon Martin's parents. She said they chose not to be in the courtroom when the verdict was read, because it was just "too emotional" for them.
"We just appreciate their faith in us and how hard we worked for justice for Trayvon."

On Tuesday, bulls and bears each got a sliver of hope in the latest round of USDA data, with corn bulls finding a silver lining in lower stocks, while wheat bears saw higher carryout than had been anticipated. But, the net result was not much in the way of strong conviction in terms of price direction. Overnight, trading was mostly sideways with soybeans picking up a few cents while corn and wheat were mostly unchanged.
The brightest news on Tuesday came from corn where ending stocks were below 1,800 MB thanks to improved usage forecast for ethanol and higher exports. Soybeans were modestly lower at a 150 MB as compared to expectations of q152 MB. USDA bumped export projections by a modest 25 MB, waiting to see if the exports will be able to sustain their lofty levels or whether deals will be canceled later this year. Wheat stocks bucked the trend showing higher than expected stocks on higher US imports from Canada.
Following Tuesday's report, several key Western Corn Belt soy plants reduced their continuing a trend of softening spot basis levels over the past 3 weeks. However, with a negative carry beyond the next month, cash buyers are starting to bid up basis levels for March delivery with the overall cash market spread between January and March at a -14.8 cent discount across all cash buyers on average, as compared to the futures which is trading at a -16.25 discount between Jan & Mar futures.
Overnight tender business was fairly active with a Taiwan company seeking 23,000 MT of US corn and 12,000 MT of US soybeans. Bangladesh bought 50,000 MT of optional origin wheat. Egypt's GASC is seeking wheat from a tender issued on Tuesday, but overnight they amended the tender to only source Russian wheat.

The potential return from any investment can generally be linked to the amount of risk the investor is willing to assume.
Finding that balance between the return you desire and the risk you can handle has never been easy.
What makes this problem even trickier is that your financial goals and your risk tolerance inevitably change throughout your life. Therefore, the investment that was right for your goals of yesterday may not be so appropriate today.
It is a good idea to review your investments periodically with risk tolerance in mind. If you heed the advice of your financial advisor, you probably already review your account statements on a regular basis to monitor performance and change any investments whose time has passed. Take some extra time when doing this to screen your investments for inappropriate levels of risk.
Most people identify risk management with safety of principal. This is true to an extent. $1 locked in a safety deposit box for 10 years will most likely be worth $1 when it is taken out.
Of course, that $1 is not likely to have as much purchasing power in 10 years as it does today. In other words, locking your money away exposes it to inflation risk. What you gained in stability, you lost in buying power.
Like that $1 in the box, some investments are also exposed to inflation risk. There are many other types of risk as well, which apply to different securities.
The following are some of the types of investment risk you should keep in mind.
. Market risk. The possibility that an investment may lose its value when traded in the financial markets.
. Credit risk. The possibility that the issuer of an investment (a corporate bond, for example) may not live up to its financial obligations and cause you to lose your invested capital or not receive expected interest payments.
. Interest rate risk. The risk that, if interest rates rise, the price (value) of an investor's bond holdings and certain stocks will decline.
. Reinvestment risk. The possibility that interest rates will fall as fixed-income investments mature and cause you to be unable to reinvest matured assets at an attractive rate of return.
. Liquidity risk. The risk that you will be unable to liquidate an asset (such as real estate, collectibles or thinly traded stocks) when you want and at the price you want.
While the variety of risks is substantial, you should not let risk management intimidate you. People participate in the financial markets because the rewards have often enough outweighed the risks.
By carefully assessing all the risks an investment offers and periodically reviewing the holdings in your portfolio with your financial advisor in consideration of your risk tolerance, you should be able to find a level of risk that is appropriate for meeting your investment goals.

The hookup: Oh, to have a crush
Meet Amber
Hi readers! I'll
be writing this column every-other Thursday. If you have any questions
about dating or have any topics you'd like covered, tweet me at @ambermadi.
It usually starts with a brief interaction that — from the outside — probably didn't look too significant. But from that interaction, a crush was born. With every casual run-in, something else would convince you that your crush was perfect. And as you admired him or her from afar, the pedestal you put your object of affection on grew higher and higher.
In the real world, our dating pool consists of strangers that we either meet at a bar, through a friend or online. And disappointingly, meeting these strangers is often pretty unspectacular. But that's not because singles in your city suck. Decades of research on interpersonal attraction show that the more we see a person, the more we like them — meaning there's only so much you're physically capable of liking someone you just met. You can't expect to have a crush on someone you've just started dating, simply because you don't know them well enough.
Living in a city full of people can make it feel like your options are endless. But it's a mistake to jump from one person to the next, waiting for someone who lives up to your every fantasy. No one will. Date conversations illuminate such a small sliver of who someone is. Some of the people you've dismissed might be ones you would have developed feelings for if you had met them in another context.
If you've been lucky enough to actually date someone you spent months fantasizing about, you know that person can't exactly live up to who you built him or her up to be. So while the prospect of dating someone you haven't put on a pedestal for months is certainly less exciting, it is more real. And reality is a good thing, because it's not eighth grade anymore.
Now, we're playing for keeps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by deb1957 Great stay Everything was perfect. I have nothing to complain about as this hotel was top-notch hotel May 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mxiski Very very Disappointed Housekeeping did not clean our room. We ran out of toilet paper no backup in room and no tissues. Had to call four times for towel replacement s and three times for housekeeping to clean the room and still no service was provided. I have been a longtime Starwood member deserve better serve. I'm very very disappointed and sad Sheraton is heading in the wrong direction. December 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Teddy56 Needs Improvement Made our reservation a month in advance. Our Jr Suite ended up being a handicap suite and the hotel was not full at all……disappointing. Room service could not get meals correct. The bathroom had a leak from the floor above. The arm of couch had hair on it from previous guests. April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rocket53 Excellent Hotel Every aspect of my stay was more than expected! May 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lub2travel Have to fight for your benefits We love this hotel bc of its pool, great for our 3yo. However, every time we check in, we have to argue for a room upgrade & late check out. I realize that these benefits are not given....we usually check in on non ranger days to ensure these benefits but doesn't seem to matter. Disappointed that we love this place so much, come so often & get treated so horribly. June 8, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by AuntieK Needs updating Pros: Convenient location. Above average decor. Friendly service. Fast elevator. Quiet room. Comfy bed. Didn't make it to the pool, but it looks gorgeous! Cons: Had a musty smell. Had to search for the TV remote which had fallen between the chair & ottoman. If you're short, use caution getting out of the shower/tub. If you're tall, your chest will be very clean. September 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alexis403 This hotel needs updating The hotel seems to be a bit outdated. The walls need a new coat of paint and the room decor needs updating. The shower was stained and there was hardly any room in the bathroom to move around. The marketplace needs healthier food options to make it easy when you are on the go. March 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by coffeedrinker Price too high We stayed here because it had all the best reviews of any other hotel in the area. I was dissapointed simply because I am a smoker and ther are no balcony's. Then on top of that I am a coffee drinker. There is no real coffee pot in a delux room even ! It is some kind of toy that you hold a paper cup under! Not happening! I called the front desk and they couldn't even bring me a coffee pot with a pot. They said I could call room service in the morning and they would bring coffee! Not happening, I am not paying extra for that. You would think at $220.00 a night and no smokeing I could at least get an $8.00 coffee pot!!!! Now it is a beautiful place to look at, very well maintained. But if you are a smoker/coffee Drinker I would suggest staying somewhere else or bringing a coffee pot. Also the breakfast buffet was extremely overpriced! The scrammbled eggs were too wet. The grits were too runny. The bacon was so hard I couldn't even bite through it! October 15, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by pumpkin1 HVAC needs attention Although it was down to 46 degrees overnight, the AC would not shut off. I turned it to off and it continuted to blow. I increased the thermostat to 80 and there was still no change. I would have called for assistance, but it was 11pm when we got to the room and discovered the problem. I slept cold and have had a sore throat ever since. October 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mike Reliable property Stayed here several times while on business as well as pleasure. Stays are consistently good. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Jesus the bartender was superb. VERY convenient location next to ballpark, Cowboys Stadium, and Six Flags. Depending upon timing, can be busy with family vacationers or sports fans ( not a complaint, just FYI). June 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by TLEM Clean, Modern, Outstanding Staff Our room was not ready upon arrival, but Betty & Mark went out of their way to get that sorted and get us into the room we wanted. If you can, book the concierge rooms - a bit small, but worth the view & extra amenities. The beds truly are heavenly. The buffet breakfast in the morning is WONDERFUL & the the wait staff was outstanding. June 7, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike318 Sheraton Arlington is the Best Hotel Sheraton Arlington is the best hotel that I have ever stay at. The entire staff was very friendly, caring and helpful. It was easy to see that the staff enjoyed doing their jobs. They treated you as if they had been your friend for years. March 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by PBHER CHECK IN TIME NOT ACCURATE I CALLED PRIOR TO DRIVING OVER AND THEY TOLD ME THE 2 ROOMS I HAD WERE READY. WHEN I ARRIVED ONLY 1 ROOM WAS READY. THEY ASSURED ME THAT THE ROOM WOULD BE READY AT 3PM WHICH IS CHECK IN TIME. I CALLED 2 TIMES MORE AND THE ROOM WAS EVENTUALLY READY AT 4PM. WE WANTED TO GET THERE EARLY TO CHANGE FOR THE CONCERT AND EAT THERE. May 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JewelLady Great stay This hotel had one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on in a hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable. Staff were unfailingly cordial and helpful. The restaurant and snack market offered good selections, well prepared and promptly served. I was very pleased with my entire experience at the Sheraton Arlington. October 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Walt95247 Good customer service Very nice time. Linda in the dinning room was exceptional. Only negative was the waiting time on hold when trying to get a shuttle back from dinner on sunday night. Was put on hold and never picked up after 3 minutes. I hung up and we walked back. March 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 Not Worth the Club Level Club level is just average rooms. The complimentary breakfest is really low quality and not worth the extra money you pay nor is the 2 complimentary drinks you receive in the evening. The bar at this hotel had great staff and the food was average. I would stay here again but I won't add any extras on its just not worth it. September 28, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by ebreaux82 Nice family weekend!! We had 2 rooms and the AC didn't cool right in one of our rooms but the manager took care of us. The rooms where clean and the housekeeping did a great job during our stay. The pool area is great and they played a movie (Charlotte's Web) on Saturday night which was nice for all of the kids. Overall had an enjoyable stay! August 5, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sharon50 Convenient This hotel is centrally located in Arlington to the Ballpark and Cowboy Stadium. However, it is very expensive to eat here. Dinner is outrageously expensive, nothing on the menu for kids. Find local restaurants before your stay. Also there is no sundry store in the hotel so be sure to bring everything you might need. June 26, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jonson Hotel needs more staff on duty Hotel needs more staff. There is only one restaurant avaialble in the hotel. There was only one server in the restaurant for dinner and cocktail lounge therefore the service was very slow an unattentive. I would think that during a conference when you have a captive audience that there would be more staff on duty. April 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by RGD22 Great location and facilities Room Needs Work Great Hotel Staff, Lobby, and Pool area best in area. But the room we have had last couple times needs to be cleaned better, bathroom area and all the other counter areas, door handles etc wiped down, stained couch and floors make it seem not very clean. Room Service was a little off 2 different times order wrong. July 11, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kendall67 DFW Staycation Hotel rooms are extremely outdated. They have uncomfortable beds, nightstands and chairs were built in the 60's, the bathroom ceiling was only 6'6"tall (I could touch the top when on my toes). The sink wouldn't drain. DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL. Very overpriced for what they provide. Should be about $39/night. November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Travelnman1 Great Hotel The Hotel was clean and the rooms were very nice. The best part of the hotel is the pool area. Big outdoor pool with wirlpool. The waterfall and fish pond were a bonus. Great Fitness area. The Pizza Hut in the lobby was great and they stayed open late for those of us that attended the concert at Cowboys Stadium. June 13, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 Dirty room, rude staff I checked in to a room that was musty and VERY dirty (bathroom had toothpaste all over the counter, bed was literally dusty). The staff did nothing to help or accommodate me, and in fact, were incredibly rude. Will NOT be staying here again and would definitely NOT recommend it. February 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Smiley This hotel is in a great location. This hotel is in the perfect location for Rangers Ballpark, Six Flags, great restaurants, and even Walmart. We have stayed at many different brands of hotels and this Sheraton has the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. We love staying at this hotel and plan to stay here many more times in the future. July 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gracie610 Perfect location for all attractions in Arlington We really enjoy our recent stay at the Sheraton in Arlington.

Once we parked our car we never had to leave the parking lot again since they offer shuttle buses or trollies to all locations we were visiting... August 3, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by Minnesota2013 Convention Stay We found the hotel was very nice, but that they were short on staff causing delays especially with the bell boys and van service. The bell boys themselves were excellent. The front check-in area staff were nice but not real efficient. I was not pleased with having to pay for the WiFi in the rooms. June 10, 2013

First Amendment Test: Student Speech on Trial
Twenty years ago, on Jan. 13, 1988, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier that public school officials could censor a school-sponsored student newspaper if they have a legitimate educational reason.
The principal of Hazelwood East High School, a suburb of St. Louis, objected to two articles in the Spectrum that dealt with teen pregnancy and divorce. The students produced the Spectrum as part of a journalism class.
Several students — including editor Cathy Kuhlmeier — sued in federal court, claiming that the censorship violated the First Amendment. They pointed to the leading Supreme Court student-expression case — 1969's Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District — that said school officials could not censor student expression unless they could reasonably determine that the expression would cause a substantial disruption. They also argued that the Spectrum was a public forum for expression, entitled to greater protection under the First Amendment.
For the majority, Justice Byron White determined that the Spectrum was not a public forum but a part of the curriculum over which school officials maintained control. White then created a new standard for school-sponsored speech.
The students in Tinker had engaged in student-initiated speech by wearing black armbands — two of which will be displayed in the Newseum's Cox Enterprises First Amendment Gallery — to protest the Vietnam War. The students in Hazelwood produced their newspaper for a class — a form of school-sponsored speech.
The Hazelwood standard allowed school officials to censor school-sponsored speech if they had a reasonable educational reason for their actions. According to White, the school may censor student expression "that might reasonably be perceived to advocate drug or alcohol use, irresponsible sex... or to associate the school with any position other than neutrality on matters of political controversy."
Three justices dissented in an opinion written by Justice William Brennan, who accused the principal of "brutal" censorship. "Such unthinking contempt for individual rights is intolerable from any state official," he wrote. "The young men and women of Hazelwood East expected a civics lesson, but not the one the court teaches them today."
Student speech advocates decried the Hazelwood decision.
"This decision cuts the First Amendment legs off the student press," Paul McMasters, former executive director of the Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center, said after the ruling.
Several states responded by passing so-called anti-Hazelwood laws that provide greater free-expression protection to students. States with such laws include Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts and Oregon.

From jail-bait to inmate? Looks like Justin Bieber's supposed brawl with a paparazzo could land him in big trouble. Police plan to interview the pop idol and his girlfriend Selena Gomez about the clash and are searching for additional witnesses.
That's bad news for Biebs, who is accused of hitting an aggressive photographer so hard that it sent the guy to the hospital with chest pains.
Improbable? Well, Bieber's not exactly built like a body builder, but that doesn't matter if there is evidence he did something wrong. And cops are on the hunt for it!
They haven't been able to sit down with the star, who jetted off to Norway for a concert. Even so, TMZ reported that police have already decided to turn the case over to prosecutors while continuing to investigate.
What does it mean for the singer? Well, he's just the suspect in a criminal battery investigation for now and they may turn up zilch. Lucky for him, even if he were charged and convicted, this kind of case usually doesn't end in jail time. Not that stars get harsh sentences anyway.
Case in point: Lindsay Lohan got a one-day sentence and 10 days community service for misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges in 2007. Paris Hilton sat in a cell just five of her 45-day jail term the same year. So fans should rest easy. In the unlikely event he lands in the clink, Bieber won't be there long enough to need those precious locks cut by the prison barber. A bigger problem for the mega-rich star? The civil $uit that is likely on the way.
Do you think Justin is in any real trouble?

after hearing from different sources that the idiot was FINE until a nosy lawyer told him to complain as he'd get lots $$ I say they just need to leave JB alone. The man was leaning on personal property & blocking entry so I have no concern for the d.a.
If I was Bieber I'd counter sue for libel.
There are laws to protect celebrities from this sort of behaviour...dumb but the paparazzi created them in the long run because of their behaviour.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) - One of the three people accused of defrauding Social Security out of over 175 thousand dollars was in court Monday... but did not enter a new plea as planned.
71-year-old Ronald Disher of Amherst Junction is one of three people accused of cashing and spending his missing mother-in-law Marie Jost's Social Security checks. The other suspects are Disher's wife and Jost's daughter 70-year-old Delores Disher and Delores' brother, 67-year-old Charles Jost.
Marie Jost and her other son Theodore Jost have not been seen since the 1980's and are presumed dead. Prosecutors believe the three suspects may have killed them & disposed of their bodies on the family property, but extensive lab tests failed to show DNA evidence identifying bones found on the site as belonging to them.
Defense attorney Gary Kreshak asked the court for a bond reduction for Disher, saying the state has no bodies, and has only the fraud charges. District Attorney Louis Molepske Jr. says his team argued against the request. "Assistant (Veronica) Isherwood made a statement to the court that it's serious charges that a bond modification at this time was not appropriate. The state objected to that, and the court agreed with the state that a modification of the bond would not be appropriate at the (present) time. The bond continues. The matter will be set for the trial date."
Disher's trial was to start in about a week. It's now been postponed until January 29th and 30th of next year.
Delores Disher remains in a nursing home, unable to participate in her legal proceedings.
Charles Jost has a plea hearing set for 1:00 p.m. Tuesday in Portage County, but it's unknown if, like Disher, he will actually enter a new plea.
It's been nearly 13 months since the three were arrested, and investigators have been unable to locate the missing members of the Jost family or even find someone who can confirm when and where they last saw them. Marie Jost hasn't used her medical benifits since 1980. Anyone who has seen Marie & Theodore since 1980 is encouraged to contact the Portage County Sheriff's Department at (715)-346-1400.

This story takes place about seven years after Breaking Dawn.
Banner by Alice Renesmee Bella Cullen. =)
Banner by Sierra Black. =)
Chapter 1 - Stench
Nessie leaped gracefully across the river outside the house. The rest of us followed swiftly, me shifting onto four paws mid-flight. Immediately, the usual voices filled my head.
"Hey Jake!" chirped Seth.
"Greetings, Most High Alpha." said Leah somberly.
"Ha, ha. Hey guys." I thought. Leah mentally cleared her throat. She hated it when I forgot to acknowledge her femininity.
"And girl." I added quickly. I didn't have time to playfully squabble with Leah right now, the way I normally might have. We were on a hunting trip.
"Got to make sure those lovely leeches get all their nutrition." teased Leah. There was no more of the bitterness that had once constantly invaded her tone.
"Jake! Stop talking to the voices in your head and hurry up! Otherwise there won't be any good ones left." yelled Bella from up ahead. I had fallen behind during my silent (well, silent to everyone besides Edward.) conversation. I picked up the pace, quickly flashing past everyone until I reached my intended target, Nessie. Her bronze curls were blowing in the breeze from her run, and her porcelain complexion was slightly flushed. I could hear her heart thrumming, three times as fast as my own, and her even breathing. She reached back, without looking, to touch her hand to my muzzle. It was a greeting for the other wolves. They chorused "hellos" back to her, though she couldn't hear them.
We came into a clearing, and caught the scent of elk in the air, about a mile south. I followed Nessie, and we arrived in front of the herd a few seconds later. She lunged efficiently at the largest one. I looked away. Even after all this time, six years, to be exact, it still grossed me out to watch them feed. Bella especially, because I remembered her as a human, and still thought of her as one.
Ah, Bella. How different things are for us now. We're finally the way we were always supposed to be, just best friends, and nothing more.
Nessie bounded over to me and touched my shoulder, showing me a picture of my wolf-self leaping at an elk, colored with a question of why I wasn't doing it. I looked down at her and rolled my eyes, then stalked towards a medium-size male elk. I took him down quickly, and sat down on my haunches to eat. I wasn't really hungry. I was just going hunting to please Esme. Lately, she'd taken to organizing family hunting trips. What with me running around as a giant wolf half the time, and other members of the family involved in various pursuits, like remodeling an old crumbling house on Demarest St. (Alice), and getting their medical degree for the third time (Edward), she felt that we weren't spending enough time together. And of course, the perfect way to get some quality time in is to kill a whole herd of elk together. What happened to good old-fashioned movie night?
"Mmm, movie night. You all could watch Interview With a Vampire." Leah commented. "And then Dracula to top it off." I heard Edward snort from twenty feet away. Bella shot him a confused look. He shook his head at her and waved his hand dismissively.
"Edward finds you amusing." I told Leah.
"Good to know. So, anyway, are you done hunting yet?" she asked.
"Yeah, almost. Why?" I asked.
"Because I need to talk to you, stupid." she said.
"Believe it or not, that's what we're doing right now, Leah." I shot back.
"I mean, I need to talk to you when we don't have a mental audience." I caught a jumble of images from her, the most prominent coming with a scent. It was the vampire burn that I'd grown so used to. But this wasn't from a familiar vamp. It was totally new to me. Definitely a cause for some worry.
"Ok, I'll be right there." I told her. Through her eyes, I could see that she was pacing back and forth right in front of her house.
"Hurry up." I felt her mental presence fade out.
Thankfully, everyone else was ready to go home. I didn't want to alarm them if I didn't have to. Of course, Edward might have heard me and Leah's whole conversation anyway, but he didn't look worried, so maybe he hadn't been paying attention.
I sprinted back toward home. Nessie took my sudden haste as a challenge, and started to race me. I purposely let her get ahead, just so I could admire her hair bouncing down her back as she ran. Not to mention, her legs didn't look so bad either…. Edward loudly cleared his throat behind me. Sure, now he decides to listen.
Nessie doesn't know anything about the way I feel about her. I mean, she knows that I love her, but she thinks it's more of a big-brother type love. And, don't get me wrong, it was, until this last year. Then it started changing to a different kind of love. And now that she's fully mature, I know that I need to tell her everything, but I'm not sure how. You see, the thing is, Ness knows nothing about our imprint. That was one of the biggest arguments I ever had with Bella, since she became a vampire. She thought that I should have told Nessie about it when she was little, so that she could have had time to get used to the idea, instead of springing it on her when she got older. But I thought I should wait, so that Ness wouldn't feel weird or uncomfortable. I also didn't want her to feel obligated to be with me. I want her to be free to pick who she wants to be with. Not that it won't tear my soul into little, snack-size pieces if she doesn't pick me. But I want her to be happy. That's the most important thing to me. There isn't one thing that I wouldn't do to make her happy. Anyway, now I'm kind of wishing I would have taken Bells' advice. Cause really, what am I going to say to her? "Guess what Nessie? I'm your soul mate! Surprise!" Um, no.
"You'll find a way Jake. I know you will. And then you two will be as happy as Sam and Emily, or Jared and Kim." Seth interjected into my monologue. I hadn't realized that he was listening.
"Thanks, kid."
"No problem. I'm gonna take off. I'm getting hungry, and I smell that Mom's making bacon. You really better hurry, you know. Leah's just about wetting herself with impatience over here." said Seth.
"Will do. Make sure to get some of that bacon before Charlie eats it all."
"No kidding. I don't know how Bella used to cook for him all by herself. See ya later." Seth's presence faded out too. Ah, sweet silence.
By now we were at the big white house on the river. Home. I ducked into some large bushes, and phased back to my human self. I quickly pulled on my shorts, and climbed out. Everyone else was inside already. I walked in the house and found Bella.
"Hey Bells, I'm going down to Sue's for a while." I said.
"Okay. Tell Charlie I say hi." It was common knowledge that Charlie spent almost all his time at Sue's now.
"Sure thing."
I flew out the door, and ran like hell out to the garage, where I kept my bike. I kicked it on, and raced down the road to La Push. I could have run faster than the bike would go, but that might have freaked out some innocent passersby.
I arrived at Sue's to find Leah, still pacing, but in her human form now.
"Okay Leah, where exactly did you find that foreign bloodsucker's stench?" I demanded.
"Right along the treaty line, and I went over to Charlie's with Mom yesterday, and it was pretty strong there too." she reported.
"At Charlie's?" I choked out in alarm.
"Hey, I didn't say it made sense."
"Was the scent outside or inside?'
"Well, that's a little better, I guess. At least it wasn't inside with Charlie. But why would it be there in the first place?" I wondered.
"Your guess is a good as mine. Were your tame vamps expecting any visitors in the last few days?"
"No, but Alice has been getting these strange flashes about the Volturi. They seem to be trying to make a decision about something, but she can't tell what. I 'spose it could have been one of them, but I don't see what they would want outside Charlie's house."
"Those Italian leeches? Ugh. Have you said anything about this to the Cullens?" Leah asked.
"I didn't want to get them all worked up for nothing, so I don't think they know, unless Edward picked it out of my head earlier. But it didn't seem like he did."
"Well, you better tell them. They could probably shed some light on the subject. Maybe one of their friends did drop by, and was going to have Charlie for a snack, but then decided they weren't really in the mood for middle-aged police chiefs that day."
"I'll mention it to them." I said, giving her a half-amused, half-exasperated look.
I turned and headed inside the house.
"Where are you going? I thought you were going to talk to your bloodsuckers." Leah said.
"In a minute. I'm supposed to tell Charlie 'hi' from Bella."
I opened the front door and walked into Sue's tiny living room. Sue and Charlie were sitting on the couch together, watching a football game. Luckily, Charlie had found a woman who had just as much passion for sports as he did.
"Hi guys. How's the game?"
"Oh, just fine." Sue said, as Charlie screamed his head off at the TV. Something about a "wussy quarterback". "Come and watch it with us."
"Oh, no thanks. I have to be going anyway. I'm just supposed to tell Charlie 'hi' from Bella." I had absolutely no desire to watch any type of sporting event with Charlie ever again. The last time I did, his face had turned so purple from excitement, I was afraid I was going to have to call an ambulance. Even now it was nearing an unhealthy shade of magenta.
"Thanks Jake. And tell her and Ness to come see me once in a while. I'm going to forget what they look like soon." said Charlie, momentarily extracting himself from the game.
"Okay. Bye, guys."
I left the house and threw myself back on my bike. I put it in gear, and roared off to the Cullens'.

I don't want to sip time slowly, I want to drink it down and swallow it with maniac spit and soul. I want to devour kindness and replace it with a turning hold, like carousel seatbelt love. I want to ride my white horse down to the river and drown it sometimes, for the simple act of being inhumane. I want to shock my spirit into raw existence. I want to tenderly meet you in the middle and hold your hand like I hold my breathe when I experience something beautiful.
Laugh or cry, its all the same to me, it's an explosion created from a feeling that I have no control over.
I can hear my heart beating… everyday it jumps wildly from my chest and spills out my mouth, or through my hands and I heave dry words, that the masses obtain and make their own. My mind gets me in trouble, its writing checks right now that my ass has no interest in cashing.
I place my middle finger over my mouth in an effort to quiet myself but become consumed with the gesture and speak more on it's crudeness than it's thought.
Some mornings I break the birdsong out my window with screaming, I interrupt the beauty and I try to bring the day to a hault before it can begin, but it continues anyway. Keep turning great blue ball, keep hurling yourself through the infinite universe… well played my friend, well played.

Man pleads with police to take him back to jail
Early Wednesday morning, police in Orange arrested a man who was pleading with them to be taken to jail.
According to a police report from OPD, officers arrested 29-year-old Michael Wayne White for class B possession of synthetic marijuana after receiving a report that the man was making threatening calls to a family member from a pay phone at 3709 N. 16th Street in Orange at approximately 1:26 a.m. on May 29. OPD Officer Tim Pruitt responded to the call and arrived at the scene "in less than a minute," according to the report. Pruitt reported that when he arrived, he saw White sitting on a park bench nearby with an open pocket knife in his hand. According to the officer, White said, "I am going to kill someone."
The officer ordered the man to put the knife down and lay on the ground on his stomach. Pruitt then handcuffed the suspect who admitted he had "Kush," a brand of synthetic marijuana, in his pocket, the report stated. According to the reporting officer, White said he had spent ten years in prison and did not want to live outside of jail. Upon searching the man, police discovered two bags, one opened and one unopened, of the Kush the man said he possessed. He was arrested and taken to the Orange County Jail.

Crandall Canyon rescuer dies in coal mine collapse • A Huntington man involved in the ill-fated rescue operation at the Crandall Canyon mine in 2007 was killed Friday afternoon when part of a tunnel roof fell on him in the Rhino coal mine near the mouth of Huntington Canyon in Emery County. Another miner, his cousin, was hurt.
Diesel spill at Willard Bay much worse than previously thought • Chevron's pipeline that split on Tuesday already has spit out more than 21,000 gallons of diesel fuel near the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge — three times as much as previously thought and on par with the Red Butte Creek spills three years ago — and there's probably more to come.
Utah governor's veto of bill to ditch gun permits sets up override battle • Gov. Gary Herbert on Friday vetoed a controversial bill that would have allowed people to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. But the fight is not over, as all sides are now gearing up for a veto override battle in the Legislature.
Prostitution arrests die along with vice squad • In 2012 — the same year the police department disabled its vice squad — prostitution-related arrests in Salt Lake City plunged a staggering 92 percent from the prior year, a Salt Lake Tribune analysis found.
Utah's award-winning KUED makes PBS proud • In recent months, public television viewers have traveled the Grand Canyon, seen wild horses race across the West, spent time with homeless veterans and been entertained by the Piano Guys.

He's a sole proprietor, a finish carpenter who's been a "one-man band" since he became a contractor in 1997. Like many during the Great Recession, Thompson's business took a hit and now his bad credit is coming back to haunt him.

Nebraska. Home of the Huskers, corn and shark fins?
Hardly, but Sen. Nordquist of Omaha has proposed a bill that would make it illegal to own or sell shark fins in the state.
"It's obvious there aren't a lot of shark fins in Nebraska, maybe only at the Henry Doorly Zoo and a couple of other places, but it would sent a statement that Nebraska cares about our world's ecological balance," he said.
Born Free USA, an animal advocacy group, says shark finning, the process of removing a shark's fin, effects millions of sharks each year.
The fins are mainly turned into food and are considered a delicacy.
"It's concerning to hear the research that's out there," Nordquist said. "It's somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 million to 100 million sharks a year."
Nordquist says the process is particularly cruel. The fin is cut off of a live shark and its body is returned to the water where the sharks inevitably die.
"It is a very inhumane way for any animal, no matter what that animal is, to die," Nordquist said.
And although this is a landlocked state, a group of high school students in the zoo school at the Henry Doorly Zoo says the crisis is still directly relevant to Nebraska. The group convinced Nordquist to bring this issue forward.
"The students have done a lot of research on it and they've come across a number of retail establishments, specialty markets, that carry the product."
Nordquist says the state has taken action in the past on issues that maybe don't directly effect Nebraska.
"Even though it isn't an issue that's right in our backyard, we can make a statement," he said.
A public hearing on the shark fin bill is scheduled for this Friday. Nordquist says some of the students are expected to testify.

Alexandria sheriff's deputy kills intruder in P.G. home
A Fort Washington homeowner shot and killed an intruder inside his home, police said.
The shooter, a sheriff's deputy for the city of Alexandria, arrived at his home on Rose Marie Drive about 10:50 p.m. Monday and found the front door damaged, Prince George's County police said.
The deputy went inside and was confronted by a suspect. The homeowner shot the suspect, who stumbled out of the home and collapsed.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the homeowner interrupted a burglary in progress and that other suspects may have been at the home, police said.
Police on Wednesday were not releasing further information on the intruder who had been killed.
The investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to call Prince George's County police at 301-772-4925.
Police: Murder suspect dropped victim at firehouse
Prince George's County police have arrested a man in the shooting death of a man found in front of a firehouse in Capitol Heights.
Sean Prince Hallowell, of Forestville, was charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of 27-year-old Charles Robert Thompson. Hallowell, 25, was being held Wednesday without bond.
Police said Hallowell shot Thompson on the 2500 block of Timbercrest Drive in Forestville and then drove Thompson to a firehouse on the 1400 block of Ritchie Marlboro Road and fled.
Thompson was found outside the firehouse shortly after midnight Friday and was taken to a hospital, where he died.
