Woman who says she rescued alligator about to be flushed in toilet is charged in airport abandonment
Posted Jan 22, 2014 1:50 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A woman who told police that she and her then-boyfriend rescued a 2-foot alligator that a friend was going to flush down a toilet has been charged with abandoning the animal in a Chicago airport.
Alexis T. Prokopchuk, 29, who lives in the city's suburbs, was arrested Tuesday and faces misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty and reckless conduct in the Nov. 1 incident, the Chicago Tribune reports. Prokopchuk appeared in court Wednesday and was ordered held in lieu of $5,000 bail.
Prokopchuk was identified through social media information and surveillance footage that showed her with an alligator on a commuter train to O'Hare International Airport.
The alligator, estimated to be about 3 years old and reportedly showing adverse physical effects from a poor diet, was captured by a custodian at the airport after someone spotted the animal in the lower level of Terminal 3. At last report, the gator had been turned over to the Chicago Herpetological Society.
The article doesn't include any comment about the charges from Prokopchuk or her lawyer, if she has one.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This is a pumpy route and receives one star (worth doing but nothing to write home about) in the Western Sloper Rifle Mountain Park guide by Dave Pegg. My friends, Mark and Keegan, may disagree, as this was their project in the summer of 2005. The route starts with a steep undercut followed by some very technical moves leading above the trees to the anchors.
This route starts behind a real nice Box Elder maple growing out of a dirt mound. There is a trail from the Wasteland that leads you past the route to the Ivory Tower on the right. In relation to the other routes, it's located directly to the right of Drunken Monkey, and left of Ivory Tower.
5-7 draws plus two for the anchors.

Summer Reading Grade-by-Grade
Why Summer Reading Matters
Most parents know about the importance of reading to their children. But did you know that summer reading has its own concrete back-to-school benefits? "Research has shown that kids who read during the summer and participate in summer library programs do better at the start of the new school year," says Carole Fiore, a library program specialist in Florida and president of the Association for Library Service to Children. The reason: Once back in the classroom, summer readers don't have to relearn their study skills and kids who took the summer off from reading may have to. "If kids are used to sitting down and reading every night for 20 minutes, then sitting down to do homework when school starts is just an extension of that," Fiore explains.
Whether you are going on vacation or spending the rest of the summer at home, there is still time to break out the books and help your child get back in the reading habit. Here is a list of books -- some classics, some new arrivals -- guaranteed to get your youngster (even those too young to go to school!) hooked on books.
Special thanks to the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, and the Westchester (New York) Library System for helping us compile this list.

SODDY-DAISY, TN. (WRCB) - A Thanksgiving weekend crime could lead you to a very nice payday, but there is a catch. We have no surveillance video, pictures, suspect or vehicle description. We are hoping these bad guys may have bragged about their crime and we are hoping you will turn them in.
They decided to hit Floyd's Hardware on a sleepy, holiday weekend. The business sits off Dayton Pike and Sequoyah, at the on-ramp to Highway 27 in Soddy-Daisy. As Detective Dennis Waters explains, someone broke into a side door. "Once inside, they did several hundred dollars in property damage," he said, "and took an undetermined amount of cash from the safe."
The damage is key to the suspicion that there was more than one bad guy and that they took their time. "It seemed like they were there a while just based on that fact, that they did do property damage," said the detective, "because it was kind of scattered throughout the store."
There is little to go on in this case. "There's nothing that would stand out and say, you know, that someone would be able to say, this is, 'I know who this is'", said Waters. "Typically, what we're counting on is that they bragged to someone and that someone is watching this."
Or, in this case, reading about it. Is that someone you? Any piece of information may point detectives in the right direction. If you know anything about this crime, call Crime Stoppers: 698-3333
A police officer may answer the phone, but he will never ask your identity. Collect your reward and make these guys pay for what they have done. They will never know it was you who turned them in.

By John Toole
---- — DERRY — One of the victims in a highway traffic accident last week that left a Boston man dead now faces a felony identity fraud charge.
Angela Kasse, 28, of Concord identified herself as Alyssa Jarvis, 27, of Randolph, Vt., both to New Hampshire State Police and Parkland Medical Center personnel after the accident July 3 on Interstate 93 in Windham, according to court records.
Kasse was arraigned yesterday in 10th Circuit Court in Derry.
She also is facing a misdemeanor theft of services charge. She received health care valued at more than $1,000 while claiming to be Jarvis, court records said.
Kasse told police she is separated from her husband and sometimes uses her maiden name, Bakaitis.
Court records said a nurse checking with Jarvis's stepmother was told Kasse was not who she claimed to be. She said the woman was not her stepdaughter, but an acquaintance.
Kasse allegedly took Jarvis's photo identification at a party in Vermont and gave it to state police. She told police she used Jarvis's ID because in the past she was addicted to pain medication and was afraid the hospital might withhold treatment as a result.
Kasse's nurse estimated the value of treatment services in the thousands of dollars, court records indicate.
Her leg was broken in three places, court records said.
A probable cause hearing for Kasse is scheduled for July 18 at the court in Derry. Bail was set at $10,000 cash, which Kasse did not meet. She was listed as an inmate yesterday afternoon.
Kasse was injured the night of July 3 on I-93, in an accident that claimed the life of Angel Gonzalez, 44, of Boston.
They were stopped by the side of the road with James Henley, 32, of Lynn, getting ready to change a tire in the breakdown lane near Exit 3 in Windham.
A car driven by Pauline Kochniec, 47, of Berlin, struck Gonzalez and Kasse, state police said.
Kochniec was charged with aggravated DWI. State police said additional charges could be brought later.
Lt. Nicole Armaganian said yesterday there have been no additional charges at this point.
The accident remains under investigation.

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Tigers and Blue Jays wrapped up their Grapefruit League schedule with plenty of early offense, and Toronto came out on top, 13-8, on Tuesday afternoon at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
Blue Jays right-hander Henderson Alvarez struggled through a four-hit first inning, giving up two runs on a no-doubt homer by Miguel Cabrera to right-center field. Alvarez went four innings, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and a walk.
Kyle Drabek was credited with a five-inning save, and he commented after the game on what's worked for him mechanically this spring.]
"[I've worked on] being able to drive my body toward home instead of toward first," he said. "Today I walked three, but I thought I did [a] good [job] of making sure I was still going home instead of toward first."
Adam Lind drove in Yunel Escobar on a double to center field in the bottom of the first, but the Tigers extended their lead in the second when Andy Dirks tripled to center and scored on Ryan Raburn's groundout. Toronto took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the inning thanks an RBI ground-rule double from Colby Rasmus, a run-scoring groundout by Rajai Davis and Kelly Johnson's single to right. Eric Thames added another run in the third with a solo shot to center.
Detroit starter Max Scherzer, who will start the Tigers' third game of the season against Boston, allowed nine runs (seven earned) on 11 hits and three walks while striking out four in 4 1/3 innings.
Prince Fielder drew a standing ovation from the crowd in the third inning, but not for his hitting. He stole second base after beating out a double play at first, and about half of the fans in attendance stood and applauded.
The Blue Jays broke the game open with a seven-run fifth, highlighted by Ryan Schimpf's grand slam.
Up next: The Tigers break camp and head north with a stopover in Toledo, where they'll play an exhibition against the Triple-A Mud Hens on Wednesday in a noon ET game at Fifth Third Field. Rick Porcello will make his final preseason tuneup, getting the start opposite former Tigers reliever Fu-Te Ni. The game will be available online at MLB.TV and in Michigan and Northwest Ohio on Fox Sports Detroit.

Saturday in Bonifay, Holmes County High School celebrated their boys basketball team's first ever state title with a parade and ceremony, where a plaque was revealed honoring the team. The Devils captured the title by beating West Gadsden 59-40 last week in Lakeland.
Florida signee Chris Walker recorded a triple-double in the State Semis, followed up by a 30 point performance with 15 blocks in the State Championship. Walker saying he's happy to help bring the title back to Bonifay.
"It's still sinking in, but it's the best feeling I've ever felt," he said. "It's a good thing to have all the fans come and support you on the big stage. We came back and won and now we're here celebrating so it's all a good thing. It means a lot to me we got everyone here supporting us- they got our backs."
"Coaches just can't do it by themselves- they need help from the community," said head coach Poe White. "From the staff to the faculty and administration, everybody plays a part. Kids thrive on support from the community. I'm just glad to be a part of it and I'm happy for our basketball team."
White lost his mom in the midst of the play-offs, and the team agrees the win was an emotional one- but one that gave them extra motivation to bring a win back home.
"He might not show it but I know it definitely brought a smile to his face," said Walker. "He told me he was so proud and happy for us. I told myself I was going to play as hard as I can and I'm going to try to do this for him, myself, the whole team, and the community."
"It's bittersweet," said Coach White. "The only sad part is that I wish my momma could have been here physically to share this with me, but she's not. I know she's better off in another place and I know she's looking down on us, and smiling, and I can hear her quoting now, that's my boy."

Pete Phipps wanted to create a comfortable place where getting a haircut is fun and relaxing.
So he opened Arrow where the beer, snacks and mohawks are free.
We want people to enjoy the experience and atmosphere, instead of it being something they dread, which I think most people do, Phipps said.
Along with a brew, customers can get everything from haircuts to hot shaves to shampoos.
Arrow offers mens, womens and childrens cuts, and prices range from about $15 for a buzz cut to about $36 for a long cut. Shampoos are $3, and shaves with a hot towel and straight razor are $25.
Phipps offers discounts to students and those who serve in the military, police and fire departments.
Arrow also has retail space and sells products from other area businesses such as Lumina clothing, White Whale cocktail mixers and Zass Designs upcycled jewelry.
Phipps said he came up with the idea for Arrow after leaving the Army and having a hard time finding a comfortable and fun spot to get a haircut.
He didnt think generic chains were exciting. He didnt fit in at high-end salons, and he felt like most barbershops were outdated.
I had (haircut) choices for the first time, Phipps said. I became frustrated with the haircut scene in Raleigh.
Arrow is at 419 Woodburn Road, near the Fresh Market at Raleighs Cameron Village.
Glenwood Souths Hibernian Irish Pub, a restaurant and bar that burned down in December 2012, is expected to reopen in mid-January.
The new 7,500-square-foot space will be two stories and double the size of the original restaurant that opened in 2000.
Its described as an Irish city pub, said Niall Hanley, Hibernians owner.
The new second floor boasts views of Glenwood South, a balcony that overlooks Glenwood Avenue and a rooftop patio bar along North Street.
The views are gorgeous, said Hanley, who also owns Hibernians in North Raleigh and Cary. Its a great vantage point. Its very, very cool.
The building will have two staircases and an elevator and seat more than 200.
Hibernian is at 311 Glenwood Ave. in Raleigh.
Retro Fitness, a low-cost, high-value franchise workout facility, is opening three Triangle locations in 2014.
The gyms will offer amenities such as cardio equipment, weights, group fitness classes, one-on-one training, smoothie bars and tanning services.
The places also will have mini-theaters, where members can do exercise while watching a movie. The theaters will have treadmills, elliptical machines and stair-step machines, and movies will range from newer features such as the Batman films to 80s flicks such as Ferris Buellers Day Off.
We want our members to enjoy their workout experience, said Sonya Singh, owner of the three soon-to-be Triangle franchises. We want to create a comfortable environment and energetic way for people to meet their fitness goals.
The gyms also will have a variety of classes that include spin, boot camps, yoga and classes that target specific body parts such as abs.
Members will need to sign contracts, which will start at $19.99. Singh said shes still finalizing contract lengths and prices.
The first Retro will open Jan. 1 and take the place of the 12,000-square-foot Rapid Fitness at 800 N. Person St., near downtown Raleigh. It will be North Carolinas first.
Members of that Rapid Fitness can keep their current contracts until they expire or switch to a Retro membership.
The second Retro Fitness will open in the spring at 3400 Westgate Drive in Durham, near Toys R Us. The facility is under construction and will be about 20,000 square feet.
Singh is still figuring out the location of the third but expects it to open in 2014, she said.
Retro Fitness, founded in 2005, is based in Colts Neck, N.J.
There are two new retail spots at the Shops at Erwin Mill. Soup, sandwich and pastry shop Panera Bread Co., which opened Dec. 17, is having a grand opening Saturday.

ENG 520: Introduction to Linguistic Science
Professor: Elizabeth M. Riddle
This course will serve as a
basis for further graduate work in linguistics and TESOL and will be more
complex than an undergraduate introductory class. It will introduce students to the nature of
human language, its systematicity, its complexity, and its variety. We will briefly survey major fields of
linguistic study and consider some practical applications of linguistics to
other fields and everyday life and social issues. The course will challenge some popular
conceptions about language and will foster the development of critical
thinking, analytical, and research skills.
601: Research Methods in Linguistics
Professor: Carolyn MacKay
This course is a
graduate-level introduction to research methods in linguistics, applied
linguistics and TESOL. The course will
focus on research methodology: project
design, data collection, and data analysis. This course will also introduce students to the writing of grant
proposals, abstracts for professional conferences, and review articles. Students will get hands-on experience in
working with issues related to original research. As a final paper they will be expected to
design a research project (choosing a topic, articulating hypotheses and goals,
describing the significance of the project, researching the literature
available, and determining the methods of data collection and analysis). Students will write a conference abstract, a
literature review for the project, and will write a book review of one of the
key sources for their topic. The final
paper is a complete research proposal.
ENG 610: Theory of Creative Writing
- Reading and Writing Across the Genres
Matt Mullins
graduate creative writing course is designed specifically for MA students in
English who are beginning the Creative Writing program at Ball State, but is
open to all graduate students interested in reading and writing in multiple
genres. Our program encourages cross-genre work and this course will ask
students to consider the fundamentals and possibilities inherent in the writing
of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and screenplays with the goal of
inspiring students to think critically about creativity and the mechanical
elements of their craft as they experiment with various forms and styles.
addition to reading notable examples of writing across genres, and various
writers' essays on writing (on topics such as creativity, imaginative and
critical processes, language usage, and creative writing pedagogy), students
will read, write, and critique original fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry,
and screenplays. Class time will consist of discussion of assigned reading,
writing assignments and experiments, writer visits (including all members of
the graduate faculty in Creative Writing talking about their own work), and
ENG 611: Workshop in Creative Nonfiction - Writing the Personal Essay
Section 1: Monday,
Wednesday 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm
Professor: Jill Christman
"Don't Spread it around, but it's a sweet time to be
an essayist." ~Joseph Epstein
In this
graduate-level creative nonfiction class we will focus on the techniques and
art of the personal essay to explore how we think and why. Using our own
experiences and perceptions as the lens through which we record the world,
we'll start by writing about the self (in a memoir piece) and as the term
progresses we'll expand our scope to write about things beyond the self—other
people, other places, other ways of living in the world. We'll work on the
nuts-and-bolts of the writing (research and interview strategies, structure,
point of view, storytelling, language) as we tackle the big questions facing
us: What do I want to write about and
why? What about memory and forgetting? What shape might best serve the essay?
What does it mean to say something true? Truer?
Class time will be
divided between discussions of published works, regular writing exercises
(generative techniques, constraints, maybe a field trip or two), and both small
and large group workshops of student writing.
ENG 616: Introduction to
Theories of Language Learning
Professor: Megumi Hamada
This course introduces basic theories of language learning,
with a primary focus on English as a second language learning, by examining
linguistic, psychological, and sociocultural factors that influence learning
success. The overall objectives of this course are to understand the basic
mechanisms and phenomena of second language learning and to apply that
understanding to teaching and research.
Professor: Lynne Stallings
The aim of this course is to prepare students not only to understand and
recognize, but to also address, the language acquisition challenges of
non-native English speakers, both in the U.S. and abroad. Students will consider a) the methods that
have been used historically in the field and b) the post-method approach that
often guides current practices in ESL and EFL settings. Students will apply this information along
with what they know about second language acquisition theories to develop their
own principle-based approach to teaching ESL and EFL.
Section 1: Wednesday 6:30 pm – 9:10 pm
Professor: Elizabeth M Riddle
A critical and in-depth study, from a
semantico-pragmatic/discourse-functional and cognitive linguistic perspective,
of aspects of Modern English grammar especially significant for the teaching of
EFL/ESL and for further linguistics study.
Key theoretical linguistic concepts will be introduced throughout the
course in conjunction with the study of particular grammatical phenomena. Since it is not possible to cover in one semester
all important aspects of the grammatical structure of English, an essential
feature of the course will be to develop students' critical thinking skills
about the structure of English and to provide students with the knowledge and
resources to continue to learn on their own. Specifically, students will
develop their analytical skills about the structure of English in order to
adequately handle needs such as the following in their future teaching: EFL/ESL error diagnosis and correction,
evaluation of treatments of grammar in teaching materials, and answering EFL/ESL
students' questions grammatical phenomena inadequately treated in the
professional literature. A basic
understanding of traditional English grammar concepts is assumed. Readings will be journal articles and book
chapters placed on reserve in Bracken library, with supplementary handouts
distributed in class.
Professor: Carolyn MacKay
This course is a graduate-level
introduction to sociolinguistics that investigates how social structure
influences the way people talk. We will
focus on regional variation in American English and the correlation between
language use and social factors such as age, gender, social class, social
networks, ethnicity, and identity. The
requirements for the course are 2 papers.
The first paper will discuss in detail an aspect of linguistic variation
of interest to the student (e.g. Chicano English, the use of non-standard 'like',
uptalk, the origin of African American English, the Northern Cities Shift,
Gullah, gender differences in language use, Hoosier dialect, etc.) while the
second paper involves data collection and an analysis of linguistic variation
found in conversational styles.
ENG 629: Special Topics in
Applied Linguistics
Crosslinguistic and
Crosscultural Pragmatics
Professor: Elizabeth M. Riddle
This course will focus on selected aspects of pragmatic variation across
languages and cultures, i.e. on language use in its grammatical, discourse, and
social contexts. Areas of concern will
include pragmatic conditioning of grammatical structures, the expression of
speaker attitude through linguistic structures, indirectness vs. directness in
conveying meaning, politeness and impoliteness in speech acts, conversational
style, humor, and language in public discourse. The languages under consideration will represent
both languages known by the students who register and other languages from
around the world, with special attention to those spoken by many EFL/ESL
Course Readings:
Book: TBA
Articles/Chapters: Will
be placed on electronic reserve. Some of
these will be the original research papers by other students in the class.
Course Requirements:
ENG 644: Early Twentieth-Century American Literature
Professor: Deborah Mix
This course is designed to provide an
overview of the fiction, poetry, and drama of the first half of the twentieth
century. While literary modernism is
part of that picture, our focus will be more broadly on "modernity" as a
force. The changes occurring in American
culture in the early years of the twentieth century wrought havoc on received
notions of identity, community, aesthetics, and politics. We will consider the ways in which a range of
American authors sought to represent, to resist, and to come to grips with some
of these forces. We'll also pay
particular attention to the cultural contexts for the works we're reading.
Studies in British Authors
Professor: Pat Collier
…I reach what I might call a philosophy; at any
rate it is a constant idea of mine; that behind the cotton wool is hidden a
pattern; that we—I mean all human beings—are connected with this; that the
whole world is a work of art; that we are parts of the work of art.
Woolf, A Sketch of the Past
The turn of the twentieth century saw new critical
attention to the Everyday as a category of human experience. Long invisible to
history and literature, the Everyday—the sphere of routine or even rote tasks,
attention to the needs and rhythms of the body, the intimacies and boredoms of
the domestic sphere—became the subject of revolutionary thought and writing.
From Freud's inquiry into the "Psychopathology of Everyday Life," to Walter
Benjamin's attempts to register the workings of power in such quotidian
activities as shopping and organizing our homes, to the innovations of
modernist fiction, intellectual life in the period was marked by a profound
concern with daily activities that might otherwise seem beneath notice.
This class will be a
collaborative inquiry into the writings of Virginia Woolf, whose essays,
novels, letters, and diaries both validate and critique everyday life. In
addition to being one of the two or three most canonized English authors of the
twentieth century, Virginia Woolf is also one of the supreme novelists of the
everyday: her novels record the minutiae that passes through the minds of
characters on their daily rounds. Her most famous novel takes place over the
course of a single day, and begins, "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the
flowers herself"—focusing on a seemingly insignificant detail of daily life.
Woolf described the long periods we experience of routine, unfocused living as
"non-being" and likened them to "cotton wool."
And she argued that, in moments of intense perception, we see beyond the
cotton wool to a truer reality that lies behind it.
In this course we will, in
dialogue with a number of critics and historians, construct a theoretical
understanding of the everyday and use it as a framework to interpret and
contextualize the work of Virginia Woolf. Primary readings will be drawn from
Woolf's novels, essays, letters, and diaries; contemporary writing on the
everyday by Freud, Benjamin, Georges Sorrel, and others; and contemporary
critics and theorists of the Everyday and of Woolf's writing.
ENG 667: Victorian
Studies: Embodying the Victorians
Professor: Joyce L. Huff
According to a popular legend, the Victorians were so priggish
that they covered the "legs" of pianos with little skirts so as to
avoid even an indirect reference to the human body in polite society. This
myth, however, has proved to be entirely unfounded. In fact, current research
suggests that the human body was a hot topic for discussion in Victorian
Britain. Over the course of Victoria's reign, there was a huge increase in
self-help literature offering advice to the public on how to manage and
maintain their bodies. Cutting edge medical theories appeared in popular
periodicals and informed conversations about everything from the role of women
to the education of children. The body entered the political arena in debates
on issues such as the management of pauper diet and public sanitation. In
addition, it was the time of the freak show, which made extraordinary bodies
into public spectacles.
In this class, we will look at how a variety of Victorian
writers, working in different genres, represented the human body. In so doing,
we will think about the cultural assumptions underlying these representations
and their relationship to other important Victorian issues, such as gender,
health, class, empire, children, sexuality, progress, morality, work and
aesthetics. Students will be given the opportunity to discuss a wide range of
Victorian texts and to participate in one important branch of the current
critical debate on the Victorians.
ENG 694: Classical Rhetoric
Professor: Paul W. Ranieri
Classical Rhetoric, embodied in the primary texts of such figures as the
pre-Sophists, Sophists, Aspasia, Plato, Aristotle, Isocrates, Cicero,
Quintilian, and Augustine, is not only the heart of education in antiquity, but
also the touchstone to which contemporary thought on writing and rhetoric
always returns, if only to disclaim or deny. This course will study those
primary texts that have been the core of classical rhetoric; it will frame
those ideas in context of ancient education, it will look at contemporary
responses to these texts, particularly in relation to teaching and learning;
and it will lead up to the demise of ancient influences as the Roman empire
dissolved and Europe moved into the early medieval era.
ENG 697: Contemporary Rhetoric
Section 1: Tuesday 6:30 pm - 9:10 pm
Professor: Mike Donnelly
This course focuses on rhetoric in the 20th and early 21st
Centuries, as both cultural practice(s) and an area of academic study. How have
the major historical, social, technological, and cultural shifts of the last
100 Years altered the ways in which rhetoric is theorized (academically),
understood (culturally), and practiced (socially)? We'll explore some of the
major scholars, theories, and movements of rhetoric in the context of the
historical moments that produced them, including (especially) World Wars I and
II, Vietnam, Civil and Women's Rights, 9/11, and the emergence of both
television and digital media.

A Madison County Judge signed off on a 30 year sentence for Discovery Middle School shooter Hammad Memon, and the District Attorney's office agreed to a plea deal.
Memon is also fined $10,000 and will have the pay the family of his victim, Todd Brown, restitution.
Restitution is determined by any expenses the family incurs as a result of the murder. For example, funeral-burial costs, medical bills, even counseling if the family needed it, and that could total into the thousands.
Memon is now 17 years old, sentenced to 30 years in prison, and has no source of income, at least for now. He will remain in solitary confinement until he is 21 years old and then could take a job in prison, making roughly eleven cents an hour, which would take years to pay back the restitution.
Legal Analyst Mark McDaniel, who represented the Brown family, said paying it may increase his chances for parole.
It falls right in there with things like good behavior in jail. Once he is up for parole in 15 years, the parole board will look and see if he paid restitution, which could possibly help his case for getting out of prison early.
"They look at the good and the bad in the prison system. If they've done a lot of good, like get an education and worked, that is something the parole board will consider," said McDaniel.
According to the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission, only about 15 percent of restitution is ever paid.
"If he wants to work and do what's right, he asked for their prayers from the family, so he can go ahead and work and save up his money and get that restitution or his mommy and daddy can come forward," added McDaniel.
There is some help out there for Todd Brown's family and any other family who have lost a loved one.
They could apply to the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission, which can help families up to $15,000.
It is funded entirely by criminals through fines and fees.

Awesome Location!!

Quick get away with a friend, and this place worked out perfectly!! Doug was great to work with, even on a last minute plan. Awesome area to walk/jog early in the morning near Vandy, Belmont, etc. Short walk to Music Row, Winners, Losers, Rebar, plenty of places to eat, etc. You can NOT beat this price and be this close to EVERYTHING!! $6 cab ride to the honky tonk bars, Ryman Auditorium, Puckett's, the convention center, bus tour pickup/stops, museums, etc. 15 min drive to the Grand Ole Opry, and one parking space assigned to the apartment, off the street, so no worries about paying for parking. I just can't say enough good things about this rental! We'll be back, for sure!

We always enjoy serving the local college communities, Vanderbilt and Belmont, and they are both within walking distance.
As an affordable, modest accomodation in a great location, we are humbled by the four and a half star rating.
This guest also left a very nice note to our housekeeping staff, which was most appreciated.
We look forward to your return.

I have visited the great city of Nashville many times. This vacation rental is in such a wonderful location. Very close to many fine restaurants, live music, and city parks. This place is perfect for a couple or a small family. The condo is clean, has a parking spot, and is close to the highway. Doug, the owner, is great at communicating and helping with any questions you may have. I will be staying here again on my next visit.

Visiting construction contractor
Review submitted: October 7, 2012 Date of arrival: September 17, 2012
I'd stop just short of "excellent", but will go one further than "good", happily suggesting "very good". This is a very comfortable, homey and totally convenient street level accomodation that served my purposes quite well. It's not a five star hotel suite, but has everything necessary for cooking and eating in, laundry, internet access, off street parking and a location convenient to several great restaurants and clubs within immediate walking distance. This Vandy area rental is active and entertaining, and you can't get closer to the music industry's recording studios and activity by day. For night time club crawling, it's really just a short drive or taxi ride down to Broadway as well. As a working contractor, it worked out especially well for accessability to my work place, and it's location offered night time security for vehicle stored tools and equipment. Overall, I enjoyed the experience very much.

My husband and I were traveling for a conference at Vanderbilt. This spot worked out perfect for us! Nice close walk to the campus and to good restaurants. Safe neighborhood,pleasant to walk down Music Row. The apartment is located close to the universities so you do have a few students for neighbor. With that said, there was music,but nothing loud and it always stopped around bedtime. The rooms were clean and shower had good water pressure and plenty of hot water.

Good for the Price
Review submitted: May 21, 2012 Date of arrival: May 17, 2012
As long as you're not expecting the honeymoon suite, this is a decent option at a good price in a great location. The owner was quick to respond and pleasant to talk with. Finding the unit, parking in back, and getting the key was a piece of cake.
It's a small, 1-bedroom, older-looking unit with a tight vanity/bathroom in the bedroom and PTAC type air conditioning you'd find at some hotels. Not bad for 1 or 2 people, but probably pretty tight for a group (our party was 2 adults and 1 two-year-old, which worked fine). Note that the main bed is a queen, not a double as listed in the feature list. TV is a small, old school, low-def CRT, but has cable. It's a first floor unit with door facing the street side. Overall, a "good value" type-of-place, if expectations are set properly.
Two minor improvements that could make the place a whole lot better:
--- Wi-Fi. The only access to broadband is via a short ethernet cable near the TV. This is useless for phones or other handheld devices (ipad/itouch) and would require using a laptop on the ground near the TV. A $50 investment in a wireless router would make a huge difference. Quite disappointing upon arrival, given the decade we're in.
--- Room-darkening shades/blinds. At night, there is a ton of light that comes through the existing blinds from the parking garage across the street (which is lit up like a Christmas tree). Not a problem for us after wearing ourselves out during the day, but YMMV.
Lastly, for what it's worth, check-in was 2PM and check-out was 9AM, the latter being a bit on the early side for our liking (but apparently they need to get the cleaning crew in for 2PM check-ins).
So, overall, set your expectations accordingly (and hope the owner gets a wi-fi router before you arrive!) and you'll be in a great location for a good price.
Owners response:
Thanks for the deserved kick in the pants.
We have upgraded to wifi, better late than never.
If I had known how easy it was to install a router, I would have done it sooner.
All our Nashville properties are now wifi enabled.
Thanks for your constructive suggestion.

We were in Nashville for a mixed business/pleasure week and were lucky enough to find this wonderful condo! Smaller than a house, larger than a hotel suite, it was clean, nicely furnished, very comfortable, and close to everything. We walked to the Parthenon, to Rotier's for a burger, to Midtown for dinner, and to the bars at night. We were only 5 minutes by car to BB King's, the Bridgestone Arena, and the downtown convention center. Also close by is the famous Grimey's Records. Margots in East Nashville is about a 10 min drive. You will love this vacation rental!

For the second straight time the Bulldogs lost a nail-biter to the Bearcats.
Dora trailed by 15 points in the opening quarter before rallying over the next three quarters only to fall 65-61 at Dora High School Monday night.
Led by Houston Turner, Cullman led 8-0 in the opening moments and took a commanding 17-2 lead just five minutes into the game.
Dora coach Michael Bridges benched his starters midway through the opening quarter. When the starters returned, they began chipping away at the lead. Cullman led 19-9 after the opening quarter.
The Bearcats (16-6) led by as many as 15 in the second quarter, but Dora closed the quarter with a 6-0 run. Caleb May made a layup, Kaleil James knocked down a pair of free throws and Deionte Smith made a shot with three seconds left in the half to cut the gap to 38-29.
James led the Bulldogs in the third quarter as Dora cut the lead to 53-46 going into the fourth. The Bulldogs took the lead midway through the quarter, but Cullman put together a late run of its own behind Turner to pick up the four-point win.
"We've got to get more consistency," Dora coach Michael Bridges said. "We will get a lead, then we will stumble. We've got to do better. We are trying to sharpen up for the area tournament."
Cullman won the first meeting 61-58 in overtime over Dora at Cullman High School.
Turner finished with a game-high 26 points for the Bearcats, who host Walker today.
Dora (12-10) was led by James' 22 points. Brent Youngblood added 17, Smith put in nine and May added eight. The Bulldogs travel to Tuscaloosa today to take on American Christian Academy.
Cullman 69, Dora 20
Cullman made quick work of Dora on Monday night, beating the Lady Bulldogs 69-20.
Cullman, the No. 4-ranked team in Class 5A, jumped out to a 24-1 lead after the opening quarter and pulled away from there, taking a 36-5 advantage into the half and a 56-16 lead into the final quarter.
Dora made just eight shots in the game.
"Cullman has a great team, but I thought our girls just quit tonight," said Dora coach Brian Keeton. "When you are playing a team that's better than you, you try to make yourself better.
"I thought our girls played hard Saturday. We went from playing like that Saturday to playing like we did today and I guess you could say it's like daylight and dark. It didn't look like the same team."

Leigh's Grand plans back to the drawing board
9:00am Wednesday 12th December 2012 in Southend
AMBITIOUS plans to restore Leigh's Grand Hotel have been sent back to the drawing board.
Mick Norcross has revised his proposals for the iconic building, just four months after finally receiving planning permission.
The Only Way Is Essex star now wants to add an extra floor and bedroom to a planned extension to ensure the venture will make enough money to cover its costs.
But the latest delay has frustrated some supporters of the revamp, who said they had been waiting for work to start for too long.
Lindsay Belton, 34, of Leighton Avenue, said: "It does seem to be dragging on for a long time.
"I'm a fan of the plans, but I think they need to get going if they want to keep the neighbours' support."
Carole Mulroney, the chairman of Leigh Town Council, added: "The controversial issues which have arisen during the consideration of both planning and licensing have quite rightly been raised by the people of Leigh and we trust the applicant has taken note of local views."
Mr Norcross divided opinion when he revealed his plans to restore the Grand, which has been closed since 2008, last year.
Neighbours complained it could trigger rowdy night-time behaviour and parking chaos, but traders in the Broadway argued it would revitalise the area.
The proposals stalled twice, firstly over Mr Norcross's bid for a late alcohol licence, and then over his plans for an extension.
Planning permission for a two-storey expansion, including two extra bedrooms, was finally granted in August.
However, Mr Norcross now wants to add an extra storey to the expansion, containing an additional bedroom, to take the total number within the building to 20.
Southend Council's development control committee will sit down on December 12 to decide whether the changes should go ahead, but the scheme has been recommended for approval by planners.
Mr Norcross was unavailable for comment.
However, a spokesman for Scoop Trading, which is handling the plans on Mr Norcross's behalf, said: "In order to ensure the development has longevity, the business plan must be sustainable and profitable for the dream to become a reality.
"We respectfully request the council carefully consider the application and grant approval so the project can progress with an achievable, sound and sustainable business plan to ensure the Grand will be the best hotel in Leigh for many years to come."

it's before the Committee this afternoon with a recommendation from officers for approval. It looks absolutely fabulous - a mini Grand with all the same styling on the back. I saw surveyors doing their bit yesterday. Let's get this thing moving. Good luck Mr Norcross.

go to associated docs and you can read the officers report and see the plans under proposed elevations.
The Council are stipulating a lot with regard to the type bricks used, the stone window surrounds and even the colour of the mortar. I think both Mr Norcross and the Council officers deserve great credit for coming up with an agreed design.
I'm going to pop along this afternoon and will post the outcome later.

Broadwaywatch says...
Why I ask, did Mr Norcross not work out his costings when he submited his last alteration to plans which were given permission back in August. Whats changed? Its the games I believe that are played that annoys me. Work was said to start in October.
Such powerful people treat the rest of us as idiots. Its about time the rules/Law were changed and this sort of thing was not allowed to happen. Whats next; what is going to be the next change of plans. No Hotel? Now its in Mr Norcross hands he has no hurry and in fact can I believe if he so wishes let it go beyond repair and in the end have the Grand demolished and sell the site for a huge profit.

perini wrote:I think it's vbeen stated the build time is 18 months. The return on the investment will be slow although I'm not an expert on this. However with 20 bedrooms it is now more attractive to the wedding market which is what the hotel is going for. A minimum of 52 a year. MC has money. He bought the freehold of the Sugarhut for about a million a few months ago. I assume he has the finance behind him and suspect though who can be sure that he's got the freeholder on board. He's probly told then why should he spend 4.5 million buying the lease and then the same doing it up and it's still not his building. Having met him and one of his staff briefly i would say neither are fools and both know their business and they have a track record of getting the punters in. Expect the Grand to be mega busy.
RichardAC - I'm not against the plans as submitted on-line. I think it looks great but I am that bit cynical about it being built to those plans. As things stand the ROI would take some time and I don't think Norcross is willing to wait that long. As previously said - 'time will tell.'

Little John says...
Whatever plans he has for The Grand, unless the plant is dealt with, which can take around five years to kill off completely, may just end up crumbling into rubble. Doesn't look like any work to eradicate it has happened yet.

Please Enforce the ruling of Uncle Davys Tavern
Please enforce the ruling of Uncle Davy's Tavern. The ABC has ruled to take away his licence for 390 days, however there will be an appeal. We need to stop this from happening! This type of behavior can not be tolerated. Uncle Davy had no right to intoxicate the victim beyond a safe limit and visciously attack him. The victims legal status in this country should have no involvment in this case. However, because of this the victim cannot fight for his rights, which means other people who can fight for him should. This attack was uncalled for and against the law and ABC rulebooks. Uncle Davy was found guilty of violating 9 codes and is trying to weasel his way out of it. PLEASE HELP US STOP THIS!!

MARTIN GARCIA, EGG DROP, WINNER: "It was the best trip. I was expecting more horses to show speed, but that didn't happen. That made it easy for E Z Kitty to get the lead. My horse was very calm, which is what I was hoping for. When I asked her to go, she was waiting for company. When the company came (Miss Pippa), she looked, she pinned her ears back and she took off again."
MIKE SMITH, MISS PIPPA, SECOND: "I thought I had her (winner, Egg Drop.) My hat's off to her, she never gave up. I needed her to fold, just a little bit, and I would have got to her. My horse ran dynamite, though. Very happy with the way she's running."
MIKE MITCHELL, EGG DROP, 19-10 FAVORITE, WINNER: "He (Martin Garcia) fits this mare. When I routed her for the first time, I thought she'd have to have the early lead. He just nurses her along, rates her real nice. That's the way you want to have her run when she doesn't have to have the lead.
"This made her a multiple graded winner, and I need the money. She just rates so nice, so kind. From Day One, when they sent her to me, they said she's a freak, and she's such a sweet filly."
NOTES: Mitchell said Egg Drop would be pointed to the Grade I Matriarch Stakes at one mile on turf at Hollywood Park Dec. 1. Billy Koch of Woodland Hills, CA, heads up the ownership group Little Red Feather Racing.

Dear Families and Friends,
Great Hearts Texas is a public charter school network dedicated to providing a comprehensive liberal arts education. We offer an outstanding opportunity for families who want the very best in a K-12 college preparatory school.
Great Hearts Texas is a sister network to Great Hearts Arizona and its sixteen academies. These schools have a history of exceeding private and public schools with outstanding academic outcomes, comprehensive arts and athletics programs, and the moral formation of its teachers and students. We commissioned the name "Great Hearts" for our organization because we never want to lose sight of our ultimate purpose: to graduate great-hearted scholars, magnanimous young men and women with the capacity for the meaningful leadership that our culture so desperately needs.
Together, the Great Hearts Academies are setting a new standard and purpose for public K-12 education.

Great Hearts Texas will first open schools in San Antonio and then, if approved by the state for further charters, in Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

text: Lakefront property at panoramic site- Circuito Chico, Bariloche This surprising property has been built at a panoramic sight; it is the site with the most impressive view of Bariloche, on the Circuito Chico, only 21 km (13 miles) from the city. From any room of the house views are overwhelming to admire nature's immensity which surrounds you: snowed capped mountains, aged forests, crystal lakes and as a little invader of this work of art, at the background of this scenery, the majestic Llao Llao Hotel together with the most exclusive residential properties of Patagonia. Nestled on a plot of land of 6,300 sq mt (1 6 acres), the house is built in three levels. It features 6 en suite bedrooms, all with stunning views of Lake Moreno through wide double glass windows. The house is preceded by a foyer which leads to a wide living room with autochthonous wood and stone covered ceilings and floors. The cosy fireplace and the table for twelve show how welcoming this house is. Other unique highlight of this house is its 14 by 5.5 metre (46 by 16.5 ft) heating swimming pool with wide ceiling-to-floor windows and access to a 22 by 4 meters (72 by 13.5 ft) terrace or solarium built on a cliff at 35 meters (115 ft) high over Moreno Lake. A 110 sq mt (1184 sq ft) quincho, Argentine word for grilling house, also shares the exceptional views to the lake and includes a dining room, a grill, a bar, a full kitchen, and a home theatre space. Two full bathrooms and a great Jacuzzi complete this part of the property. The house features a 1,000 litre water tower, warm water through a 700 litre high recuperation system, private WIFI, 18 KW electricity generators, automatic entrance gate and garage for two big sized vehicles. The garden boasts more than a hundred rose trees and great variety of other flower-trees and bushes. Among the trees there are autochthonous coihues, cypresses, radales and myrtles.
