PEORIA, Ill. -- While Peoria and West Peoria officials are discussing whether Peoria's Fire Department will take on duties of West Peoria, fire districts in the county are working under a Mutual Aid Box Alarm System or MABAS.
This system allows for fire districts to request the help of other departments, if needed.
Officials say MABAS allows them to pre-program which departments they want to go to each call.
"When we have a call and we decide we need it, we don't have to think. We just call the box and people are coming. You can go on about doing other chores and don't have to sit and think about, did I call them, didn't I call them," said Limestone Township Fire Chief Terry Capps.
"They can call us up anytime they want to or need to. Same thing with East Peoria. We go to East Peoria probably more than anywhere else we go in the county," said Peoria Fire Chief Kent Tomblin.
No decision has been made yet on whether Peoria will add their services to West Peoria full time.
As of now, they both operate under the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System, which can ask for assistance during any call.

A. My personal experience with
bamboo flooring has been mixed. Granted, bamboo is one of the
most important plants in the world, having a wide range of
uses. It grows fast, regenerates without replanting, and
requires no fertilizer. It reaches a mature height of 100 feet
in just five years, making it an appealing renewable resource.
Most commonly used in Asia, it has lately become fashionable in
the West as a flooring material. But while many manufacturers
promise superior hardness, the reality is that the hardness of
bamboo flooring is highly variable. Some bamboo floors I've
seen dent and scratch fairly easily, with as little as a
fingernail, for example (see photo, below). Red oak doesn't do
that. On the other hand, the superior hardness that is
routinely promised can also be found.
There are several reasons for this inconsistent performance.
The properties of bamboo depend on the season when it's
harvested, the environment in which it was grown, the amount of
rain and sun it has received, and its age when harvested.
Immature two-year-old bamboo is weak and typically sold at a
discount in the open market. Bamboo harvested at five years is
better and more expensive. So, as a starting point, it's not a
good idea to buy the cheapest product. Also, there are more
than 700 species of bamboo, so the potential for variability
among flooring products is great.
Another cause of inconsistency is the way that bamboo lays down
cells as it grows. It's denser toward the outside of the shoot
and softer toward the inside. So the density of the flooring
depends on where the actual fiber comes from. A good
manufacturer understands this and arranges the fiber
In the cross section (see photo, below), you can see that small
strips are cut from a bamboo stem, then laminated together to
manufacture the flooring. You can even see where one of the
laminated pieces was taken from the softer, inside surface of
the bamboo stem. This is the strip located directly under the
scratch in the top photo.
My best advice is find a reputable manufacturer and distributor
who have a solid track record and will stand behind the
product. Ask how they test for and assure hardness values for
the product. Request technical literature that explains how the
product was made from harvesting through lamination and
finishing. The literature should be convincing. If hardness is
critical, choose a natural color: Natural colors are
significantly harder than the "carbonized" darker colors, which
are produced by pressure-steaming the wood, resulting in a
significant drop (~25%) in hardness.
Unfortunately, the introduction of bamboo flooring is recent,
so to date there is no governing association like the National
Oak Flooring Manufacturers Association providing oversight and
quality control.

Peyton Manning's first preseason game with the Denver Broncos started off so well. 12-yard pass to Jacob Tamme, 10 yards to Eric Decker and this nice looking 19-yard pass again to Decker.
Notice the feet -- always moving. He pretty much looked like the Manning of old. The Broncos' offense was humming as they entered the red zone and then...well, all good things must come to an end. Manning's potential touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley turned into a drive-killer.
It wasn't a perfect pass -- slightly behind him -- but that's not on Manning. Stokley, former Colts teammate of Manning, needs to make that catch. (Or did the Bears defender tip that first? Let us know in the comments.)
All in all, the first drive of the day was solid for Manning. He threw the ball 20 yards down the field a couple of times and showed that at least some of his arm strength was there. We didn't see a bomb out of him but that's to be expected this early in the preseason.
That drive was all she wrote for Manning. Backup Caleb Hanie relieved him on the next series.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Two local men were found with cocaine hidden in their bodies after a recent traffic stop.
One of them has two previous first-degree robbery convictions, said Plattsburgh City Police Lt. Pat Rascoe.
An earlier investigation led City Police to believe Oscar Bermudez, 38, of Plattsburgh and Kyle Bowman, 22, of Cadyville were in possession of drugs, Rascoe said.
On the afternoon of March 9, City Police stopped a vehicle they were riding in near Skyway Plaza.
A U.S. Border Patrol dog was used to determine Bermudez and Bowman had drugs on them, the lieutenant said.
Bermudez had more than an ounce of cocaine hidden in his rectum, and Bowman had just under an ounce of cocaine in his rectal cavity, Rascoe said.
The roughly two ounces of cocaine have a street value of about $6,000, he said.
City Police also confiscated an undisclosed amount of cash from Bermudez and Bowman.
Bowman was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony.
Bermudez was arrested a few hours later on the same charge.
They were both arraigned in City Court. Bermudez was sent to Clinton County Jail without bail, due to prior felony convictions, and Bowman was released pre-trial by the court, Rascoe said.
Bermudez's case was transferred from Plattsburgh City Court to Clinton County Court on March 13, according to City Court, but no court date had been set as of Thursday.
Bowman is due to appear in City Court on April 3.
Bermudez was convicted of two New York City robberies, one in 1994 and the other in 2006, Rascoe said.
He originally went into state custody in May 1994, according to prison records.
Bermudez was released from Queensboro Correctional Facility in Long Island City into the custody of the state Division of Parole in May of 2009, according to the records.
He was discharged from parole about seven months later.

As a cultural icon and one of the most important artists of the entertainment era, Madonna has traversed boundaries, set records, and has become the top-selling female recording artist of all time. Her career spans over three decades of continuous recording, performing, acting, and evolution. As a savvy businesswoman, Madonna started her own record label and has lucrative contracts with products ranging from shoes to cosmetics. She is the Queen of Reinvention, of Pop Music, and of American Culture. She continues to create new music, inspire us, and perform to sold-out crowds worldwide. Madonna tour dates are scheduled periodically throughout 2011.
The Michigan native turned down a dance scholarship at the University of Michigan to move to New York and become a performer. After a slow start with the band Breakfast Club, Madonna decided to make headway as a solo performer. She inked a deal with Warner Bros. Records and released her debut single "Everybody" in 1982. The single marked the beginning of dozens of top-ten dance hits and singles. She released her breakthrough album Like a Virgin in 1984 and took the world by storm with her sexual and provocative lyrics. Madonna ruled the airwaves and MTV, which she helped pioneer while the medium was in its nascent. The album was certified diamond by the RIAA for sales in excess of ten million copies and Madonna forged ahead.
Madonna tour dates were scheduled along the international Virgin Tour which featured the Beastie Boys as the opening act. Madonna recalls that the tour was "Crazy, because [she] went from playing CBGB and the Mudd club to playing sporting arenas." Instant fame made Madonna a household name and the fodder of tabloids and media attention, which she has never been able to escape. Madonna closed out the '80s with True Blue and Like a Prayer. Both albums were multi-platinum triumphs and Madonna signed on to star in the movie Dick Tracy with Warren Beatty. Madonna's concert schedule included the high-profile Blonde Ambition Tour which was hailed by Rolling Stone Magazine as the "greatest concert of the 1990s".
Madonna's career continued to be successful, albeit controversial, throughout the '90s. She released the provocative Sex book and the racy albums Erotica and Bedtime Stories. Madonna continued to act, she starred in A League of Their Own with best friend Rosie O'Donnell and she earned a Best Actress Golden Globe for her portrayal of Eva Peron in the film Evita. Madonna also started her own record label, Maverick Records, and signed such acts as the Prodigy and Alanis Morriessette. She closed out the decade with her electronica-infused record Ray of Light and embarked on the Drowned World Tour.
The Queen of Reinvention managed to keep her image fresh throughout the 2000s as well. In 2005, she released the dance-heavy album Confessions on a Dance Floor which won her a Grammy for Best Dance Album. Madonna's concert schedule included the Confessions Tour which grossed nearly $200 million in ticket sales becoming the highest grossing tour by a female artist in history. Proving that she was equally business savvy, Madonna signed an unprecedented deal with Live Nation for $120 million that included records and tour promotions. In 2008, Madonna was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was named as the highest selling female artist in history by Guinness Book of World Records. She released her latest studio album Hard Candy in 2008 which featured hip-hop collabos with Timbaland, Pharrell, and Justin Timberlake. Madonna's concert schedule included the lengthy Sticky and Sweet Tour which ran from 2008-2009. Madonna set the record books on fire with this outing, it became the highest grossing tour by a solo artist when it sold over $400 million in tickets and is ranked as the fourth highest grossing tour of all time!
Madonna has broken records, boundaries, and the rules of convention many times over. She is a cultural icon and continues to call the shots in music industry. Madonna tour dates are scheduled periodically throughout 2011. Don't miss out on the Material Girl when she arrives in your area. Use Eventful as your source for Madonna tour dates and concert schedule information.

hello!—I have been a very big fan of LC for a long time. I have most if not all of their releases and cd-singles with bonus tracks. the remastering job has improved the sound–the bonus tracks are fine–but basically unneeded. I have all of them on different recording –so it is no big deal for me–but the casual fan will enjoy the additions. a few more pictures and liner notes to help you learn more about the band. I am unsure as to why EPIC-LEGACY wanted to put this product out(GREED) or how many dedicated fans will want to shell out for things they probably already have in their collections(like me). in summation, LIVING COLOUR is a truely talented band with great musicianship, topical lyrics and a knack for writing good songs. those who have never heard of this wonderful inspired work or have never listened to any of LC music—THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS!!!!!
Living Colour Biography - Living Colour Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Living Colour's exceptional debut is strong all the way through–there simply isn't any weak material on this album. Generally classified as hard rock, Vivid also contains touches of funk and jazz to keep things interesting. Living Colour were also one of the few bands of their time to write politically conscious songs that never sound preachy. They take on politicians ("Cult of Personality"), slumlords ("Open Letter"), modern life ("Desperate People," "Glamour Boys"), and the gap between rich and poor in America ("Which Way to America?"). Outstanding music and lyrics, and Corey Glover's strong singing, make these songs simultaneously entertaining and thought provoking. The 2002 reissue is fleshed out with five bonus tracks, including a live version of "Cult of Personality" and a cover of the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go." –Genevieve Williams

I think this is a great album. I already had the original and bought the remaster hoping to have the sound spruced up a bit. However, it sounds worse than the original. The bass is muddy and overbearing, the highs sound muffled, and its got to be by far the loudest CD I now own. If you have the original, stay with it. If not, then I suggest you find one.
I have an original 1988 CBS Records version of this disc, manufactured by EPIC Records. It's a great album that I consider a "Classic". When I saw that a remastered version was being offered, with bonus tracks, I decided to pick it up. I appreciate the upgraded sound quality. The lower end is greatly enhanced. Now you can easily hear just how well Muzz Skillings was playing those great, funky bass-lines.
Just to let everybody know, the song What's Your Favorite Color? (Theme Song) has been chopped on the remastered version down to about 1:44. The first time I listened to it, I thought my cd player had skipped to the next track prematurely! The original version was 3:55 and contained twice the lyrics plus another bridge. So… if you buy the remaster, don't get rid of that old copy before you decide to keep it for that one older "full-length" track.
Living Colour is a band whose appearance gets more attention than their music– being the "all black" heavy metal group seems to be more critical to the press and publicity folks than anything else. Indeed, the cover of this reissue bears a sticker that reads "the groundbreaking rap/rock fusion album", which leads me to believe entirely that the person who put that sticker on there had never actually heard Living Colour before.
Living Colour grew out of the Black Rock Coalition– an organization started by (among others) guitarist Vernon Reid for black musicians interested in playing rock music. Reid, British born but a longtime New York resident, was well known on the downtown New York jazz scenes courtesy of his tenure in Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society. An guitarist of unnerving technique and speed, he assembled a number of bands under the name Living Colour before settling on this quartet– bassist Muzz Skillings, drummer Will Calhoun (both graduates of the Berklee School of Muisc) and vocalist Corey Glover (who Reid met at a birthday party and was suitably impressed with a rendition of "Happy Birthday"). In Skillings and particularly Calhoun, Reid had a rhythm section with the ability to express themselves in dozens of forms, and in Glover he had a vocalist who could produce depths of soul or rage upon demand. Somehow Mick Jagger became hip to them, and the result was a deal with Sony and their debut album, "Vivid".
Essentially an album of extraordinarily well executed hard rock music– with more in common with Led Zeppelin than contemporary "metal" acts, "Vivid" is a fantastic debut. What makes the album is the level of subtlety in the music– take hit song "Cult of Personality"– essentially riff-based rock, it's so well executed that you barely notice the rhythm guitar drops out during Reid's solo as Skillings managed to fill the space. But while the opener is a slab of hard rock, the band moves through soulful metal (the unbelievable "Open Letter to a Landlord"), great rock ("Middle Man"), fantastic love songs ("I Want to Know"), funk ("Funny Vibe") and the Talking Heads ("Memories Can't Wait"). Along the way, the band tackles topics as politics ("Cult of Personality"), housing ("Open Letter…"), racism ("Funny Vibe") and the failure of the American dream ("Which Way to America?"). The album's not altogether flawless– "Middle Man" lacks the energy it'd carry live, "What's Your Favorite Color?" was a spectacularly bad idea, and I'm one of the folks who just can't deal with glitzy pop song "Glamour Boys", but there's so much good on here, it's easy to forget.
This reissue is augmented by a series of bonus tracks– a couple live performances, a performance of "Funny Vibe" featuring a full rap vocal, and a stunning cover of the Clash classic "Should I Stay Or Should I Go". In addition, it benefits vastly from remastering with extraordinarily enhanced sound.
Living Colour did better albums, but this one is no slouch, and probably the best place to begin examining their career. Recommended.
The liner notes on this remaster make references to later-era "rap/metal hybrids" like Rage Against the Machine and Linkin Park. Stylistically, this debut record from one of the most successful all-Black rock bands owes more to the funk and punk and Bad Brains and Red Hot Chili Peppers than to Run DMC or Public Enemy. Here's a song-by-song review:1. Cult of Personality. Unless you were living under a rock in 1989, you know this signature tune and hard rock classic – the powerful vocals of Corey Glover, the metal/jazz guitar explosion, the Zepplenesque drumming.2. I Want to Know. If there is a single weak track on this record, it is this very simple pop-rock tune.3. Middle Man. Although often forgotten, this funky rocker was actually the first single and breakthrough to rock radio.4. Desparate People. A dose of punk, an lyrical omage to Led Zeppelin, and a whole lotta hard rock make this one a live staple.5. Open Letter (to a Landlord). This was one of their breakthrough hits, a social commentary backed up by simple balladry versus punk sensibilities.6. Funny Vibe. On comes the tongue-in-cheek funk with "social commentary" by Chuck D and Flava Flav.7. Memories Can't Wait. The fact that they would cover Talking Heads on their debut is not so suprising given their CBGBs background, but the blistering guitar work is shockingly good.8. Broken Hearts. With a little help from their friends (Mick Jaggar on harmonica), the band combines the blues with some hip-hop beats.9. Glamour Boys. As perhaps the most infectious hit from the summer of 1989, on this one, they combine elements of reggae, funk, and metal and a little help from Mick Jaggar (who contributed background vocals and production).10. What's Your Favorite Colour? Clocking in at under 2 minutes, this is simply the funky theme song for the band and is just fun filler.11. Which Way to America? A heavy-handed bass line drives the indicting lyrics into your conciousness as a perfect end to the original record.Although I am not usually a big fan of remixes, the remix of "Funny Vibe" one, accompanied by additional production of Prince Paul and a horn section, is arguably better than the original. Furthermore, having seen them do this metal/punk laden Clash cover tune, "Should I Stay or Should I Go", on their first tour, I was glad to see it on the first single from their second record and it is a welcome addition here. The other bonus tracks (remix of "What's Your Favorite Color" and live versions of "Middle Man" and "Cult of Personality") are disposable.Overall, this is a great package, and comparing it to the original CD release, benefits from remastering. I just hope Epic sees fit to do the same justice to their second record, 'Time's Up' (1990), which yielded classics "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" and "Solace of You".

New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz had a monster day on Sunday as he hauled in 161 receiving yards and a touchdown to mark his third straight strong fantasy performance. Cruz's day was highlighted by a circus catch, but with eight catches Cruz took control of this game for the Giants. He did lose a couple points on a fumble, but otherwise he was a force on Sunday.
This third straight strong fantasy performance should be enough to convince fantasy owners he is at least worthy of a flex position. Over the last three games, Cruz has caught three touchdowns and has put up 161, 98 and 110 yards. His numbers were particularly impressive on Sunday because he did not get the start opposite Hakeem Nicks. Mario Manningham was in the starting lineup, but that did not stop Cruz from shining.
As we move forward, Cruz goes from bye week fill-in to full on starter worthy. He is not a guy you move ahead of the big names in fantasy, but he is at least worthy of flex play, if not your number two receiver position. He will likely come back to earth in some form or fashion, but for now you might as well ride the wave. Cruz is streaking right now and you never bet against the streak.

After being selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration last February to demonstrate a new space transportation system for delivering cargo to the International Space Station, Orbital Sciences Corporation is expected to make a final decision on launch pad utilization between the Wallops Island Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia or Cape Canaveral, Florida this week.
In a three-year, $320 million cooperative program, NASA will invest $170 million and Orbital will contribute $150 million (including its planned Taurus II launch vehicle development investment) in the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) project. In its first phase, the COTS project will involve the development and flight demonstration of a commercial cargo delivery system to low Earth orbit with the potential to support ISS operations following the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2010.
The initial announcement included a proposal to launch from Virginia's fledgling FAA-licensed commercial spaceport. But after intense lobbying by Florida aerospace interests, Orbital Sciences Corporation opened the launch site to bid. Both states have reportedly offered packages to lure the new Taurus II medium-lift rocket.
Orbital's COTS demonstration mission is scheduled to take place in the fourth quarter of 2010. Subject to NASA's future requirements, Orbital will be prepared to carry out several follow-on operational COTS missions in 2011 and to conduct as many as eight operational ISS cargo flights a year by 2012 and 2013. The Cygnus spacecraft to be launched aboard the Taurus II rocket will be capable of delivering up to 2,300 kg of cargo to the ISS and will be able to return 1,200 kg of cargo from the ISS to Earth.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Todd Heap practiced on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday and is "Questionable" for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a hamstring injury.
A native of Mesa, Arizona and a 2001 first-round pick out of Arizona State by the Baltimore Ravens, Heap returned to his hometown team on a two-year, $5.5 million contract to provide the Cardinals with a receiving presence from the tight end position that has been lacking under head coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Heap had 13 receptions for 150 yards over the first four weeks of the season, but missed three games with a hamstring injury before returning in Week 9. Heap aggravated the injury against the Rams and was inactive last week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
While Heap has been out, Jeff King has emerged as the top receiving tight end for the Cardinals, catching 18 passes for 200 yards. In addition to Heap, Cardinals rookie tight end Rob Housler has been out with a groin injury.

It can become a little confusing to know when to check what website, and to find the best way to stay in touch with your friends. This article received a lot of diggs today, saying that people are looking for more meaning and order in their online communication.
That's why websites like "Zannel" are joined by millions. On "Zannel" you can do the regular social network stuff like posting pictures, videos. But, you can also publish it everywhere else: so your twitter, myspace, and facebook account are all updated with just one click.
Another website gaining popularity is "Ning". Here, you can create or join a network for anything you are interested in. The website creates communities based on interests. Networks I have seen for example, are for people interested in the big outdoors, anyone fascinated with cars, or gossip girl fans.
If you're a social media addict, there's good news! In the midst of job cuts everywhere, this article says that there will be plenty of money-making opportunities for companies who stay on top of all these online developments, and new jobs for social media experts. Who knows, one day all that facebooking might actually pay off!

Illinois lawmakers are trying to keep a lid on spending, but a drafting error in a budget plan they approved would allow only $35,000 to run the entire state government for a year.
The apparent mistake was included in a resolution the House adopted Tuesday intended to draw a financial line in the sand ahead of Gov. Pat Quinn's address laying out his proposed budget. House Speaker Michael Madigan intended to say the limit is $35.081 billion. Instead, the legislation says $35,081.
Taken literally, the money would provide a mere 56 seconds of public education for kids in kindergarten through 12th grade rather than pay for 2 million students to attend school for a full year.
It would mean the governor, who's entitled to an annual salary of $177,412, would stop receiving a paycheck after less than 67 days.
Steve Brown, spokesman for Madigan, a Chicago Democrat, said there is no need to change the language because it's clear the House didn't intend to restrain government by quite that much.
"People recognize the intent, but beyond that, I don't have any other explanation," Brown said.
Quinn's office has said he wants to spend $35.6 billion in the budget year that begins July 1. The House would slice that by about 1 percent, or $519 million.
The resolution spells out how much it expects will be available in the so-called general revenue fund, which finances day-to-day operations. Typically, such a list would indicate that the numbers are "in millions," but this legislation does not.
So, it indicates, for example, that revenue from personal income taxes should be $15,986, instead of $15.9 billion.
The resolution is headed for the Senate, where Rikeesha Phelon, spokeswoman for the Democrats, said it wasn't immediately clear whether changes to the language would be in order.
Brown pointed out similar resolutions that express the figures in different ways, but both of those reflect, in one way or another, the entire amount intended.
One was from 2011, almost identical in format to the current one, which introduces a chart of numbers with, "as expressed in millions of dollars," and one from March 2012 that alerts appropriations committees to how much money is available. In that one, the numbers are spelled out -- for example, "Medicaid -- $6,638,953,200."
"The intent is the same regardless of how it's written and it's been written a variety of ways," Brown said.
The resolution is HJR17.

CATEGORIES Drama, Deals, Mystery & Suspense, Scripts, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalAfter being explored in the TV documentaries Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills and Paradise Lost 2: Revelations, the case of the West Memphis Three is once again being committed to celluloid, albeit in a fictional form. According to this morning's Variety, Dimension Films has acquired the rights to Mara Leveritt's Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three, and is fast-tracking the movie into production.
"West Memphis Three" is the name that has been giving to the three men who were convicted of murdering three young boys in 1993, an event sometimes called the Robin Hood Hills Murders. The boys were the victims of sexual assault and were tortured in ways that suggested to investigators that they had been the victims of a Satanic ritual; the convicted men were involved in Goth culture and were allegedly "[fascinated] by the occult." Since their convictions, many questions have been asked about the guilt of the trio, and both Paradise Lost films and Leveritt's book offer evidence of their innocence.
Dimension's film is being written by The Exorcism of Emily Rose team Scott Derrickson and Paul Harris Boardman, and Derrickson (who, by creepy coincidence, is also scheduled to write and direct the upcoming screen version of John Milton's Paradise Lost) is expected to direct.

"The Turin Horse."
The self-proclaimed last film of Béla Tarr, the Hungarian director of such bleak masterpieces as "Sátántangó" and "Damnation," "The Turin Horse" begins with a sly red herring, suggesting the story will follow Friedrich Nietzsche on the day when he embraced an ill-treated horse in the public square, then went mad and fell silent for the rest of his life. Instead, we follow the mistreated horse back to its home — a miserable hovel where a peasant lives in isolation with his grown daughter, repeating the same futile gestures day after day as they slowly but surely starve. "The Turin Horse" is a movie Samuel Beckett might have imagined, a seamless blend of humor and despair.
"Zero Dark Thirty."
Kathryn Bigelow's controversial, pulse-pounding thriller about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, based on original reporting by screenwriter Mark Boal and starring the incandescent Jessica Chastain as a monomaniacal CIA operative, is maybe the only film this year that every American needs to see. Does it leave you certain how to feel about our country's prosecution of the war on terror or about the role of torture in the bin Laden manhunt? No, it leaves you drained, sweaty-palmed and morally queasy — sort of like the war on terror itself.

Inquest opens into avalanche death of Winchester boy
10:32am Saturday 4th January 2014 in News By Lauren Howard, Reporter
AN INQUEST has opened into the death of a Winchester boy who died in an avalanche in Austria just days before Christmas.
Central Hampshire coroner, Grahame Short, heard on Thursday how Winchester College student Cameron Bespolka, 16, died of multiple injuries on December 17 after he, his father and a ski guide were engulfed in snow in the resort of Lech am Arlberg.
The avalanche swept Cameron, his father Kevin, 51, and the guide 150 metres down the mountain leaving Cameron's triplet brother Nicholas watching from the top, who had been skiing a short distance behind.
It is now understood that the family have returned home after his father was treated in intensive care for knee and leg injuries.
The inquest was adjourned.

Valley church holding prayer for Election Day

Prayers for the election will go out on Saturday from a Phoenix church.
Cathi Herrod with the Center for Arizona Policy said the event is both non-denominational and non-partisan.
"We still were founded by people who believed that religious liberty and prayer meant something," she said. "Certainly, I think most of us can agree that our nation faces many troubled times and it's always good to gather together in prayer."
The gathering will be held at the City of Grace church in downtown Phoenix, located at Fourth Ave. and Monroe.
The event begins at 10 a.m. and will be led by local religious leaders.

Dear Sir,
I am a pastor in Colorado. I am ordained SBC, but I am in a Conservative Baptist church now. Because of family needs, I am going to relocate back to Texas. . . . I was at Southeastern Seminary when all of the "moderate" troubles and Dr. Lolley's resignation took place. I am eager to be a part of reformation and revival in our churches in the SBC.
Thanks for any assistance.
Yours in Christ
D. A., via email
Dear Founders:
I just read the Christianity Today article "Calvinism Resurging Among SBC's Young Elites" posted on your home page. Thanks for making it available.
I suppose resistance and misrepresentation are to be expected when you challenge the current religious opinions. We all recognize the fact that our blessed Lord Jesus drew the most heated resistance from the entrenched religous crowd, but the common people heard Him gladly. Like incumbent politicians, entrenched doctrine is difficult to overcome–but our God is able! . . .
It is most encouraging that sovereign grace doctrine is enjoying a renaissance in general, but I have to confess that sometimes my expectations regarding a great return within the SBC is rather underwhelming. None are so blind as those who refuse to see.
I appreciate your dedication and wonderful work. I have been a subscriber to the journal since its inception. I am a layman who had a great struggle with the sovereignty issues before coming to embrace them. What a difference a truly biblical understanding of the purpose of God brings. Praise be to His name forever!
D. B., via email
Dear Sir,
I found the information and services of your Web Page very helpful and encouraging. I am a Charismatic that discovered the Reformed Faith as I was trying to find a tradition and theology that was both biblical and orthodox. The Charismatic movement is a movement in search of a theology. We are also Baptist both in terms of forms of baptism and also in our understanding of the Church as a community of believers. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to restoring the doctrines of grace to their proper place in the life of the Evangelical Church.
For the Lambs War,
Please start my subscription to the Founders Journal. I'm very impressed with the topics covered and even use the journal in helping me prepare lessons for Sunday School. Great work on the Web Site! Thank you for your commitment to biblical Christianity.
E. S., Memphis, TN, via: e-mail
Subject: Thank you
We appreciate your ministry. We first found out about the Founders Journal while visiting our son at seminary (NOBTS). We are so glad that we found you on-line and are pleased with what we are reading. We were wondering if we were the only people in a SBC church that were concerned with the theology held by the early church fathers.
In Christ,
The H. Family
Dear Bro. Ascol:
I received my free copy of the Founders Journal. Before I finished reading the first article my heart was filled with joy. I attempt to preach the blessed doctrines of grace in a church that has been fed a steady diet of Arminian doctrine for more than forty years. Many are rebelling against the truth and are leaving, others are beginning their whispering campaign to have me ousted from the pulpit, but thank God, some, only a few, are receiving the Word and are showing real evidence of grace in their lives. . . .
Please remember me when you pray that I will be faithful to my calling and never compromise the blessed truths our Sovereign Lord has been pleased to reveal to me. I am so thankful that there are others like you who are declaring these blessed truths. I long for some fellowship with men of like faith, but there are few in my denomination who will publicly own them. I am seeking to be a light in the midst of much doctrinal darkness and confusion. . . .
Yours because of His free grace,
J. H., Texarkana, TX
Hi Tom,
Thank you all for the current issue [#31]. Confronting the stereotypes and confusion about Calvinism is so needed these days. Many of those in the church growth movement, even when presented with clear biblical evidence for the doctrines of grace, will automatically call to mind pictures of disobedient behavior to our Lord's great commission as the necessary and logical outcome of believing such theology. I see this as a major hurdle for many in their thinking. Thank you for spending time on this subject.
By the way, you sent me a manuscript (by Fred Malone) I have really enjoyed it and it has helped to strengthen my faith.
J. H., via email
Editor's note: The manuscript by Fred Malone is a reference to A String of Pearls Unstrung, now available from Founders Press.
Dear Editor,
I read with delight the Founders Journal most recently sent to me!
I was saved in a Southern Baptist Church in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1962. In 1968 I left the Southern Baptists to join an Independent Baptist church. Please know, I have always believed in the election of the saints.
Approximately 10 years ago I read with avid delight Vols. I and II of the works of Jonathan Edwards (Banner of Truth.) From then on I have had–and continue to "thirst" for the wonderful old ways of Calvinistic Christianity. I now wonder, why do I remain in the Independent Baptist Fellowship (BBF) that is far from Calvinistic, or what I so believe to be biblical truths?
Springfield is considered "conservative Bible Belt"–that again is quite untrue!
I keep praying–and believe God has greater days ahead for His own–and indeed I pray for revival; without which, I personally see little hope!
Please do acknowledge my subscription! You or anyone else cannot write enough concerning the "old ways," or encouragement to return to our wonderful Christian roots (for us, that would be Baptist.)
The Puritans are my ideal of Christianity! I'm sick and disgusted with the Baptist Church of whatever persuasion that thinks "entertainment" is important, which is not [true]!
Again know, I read with delight the Winter/Spring 1995 journal that I received! . . .
L. E., Springfield, MO
Dear Dr. Ascol,
This year a friend gave me the gift ofFounders Journal and it has given me much encouragement and information. We are living in a time of struggle over beliefs–people have dug in and hold fast to a lot of false ideas they have been taught. Not until 1984 did I see the Bible in the light of Calvinism. Before that time, as a Southern Baptist, I was taught "milk-style" in the churches I attended. I became a Christian in 1953 at the age of 13. When I look back, I know without a doubt, God did all the work in my salvation. Although I did study for years on my own, [I] went to church to find it watered down–it was discouraging. Those years were hard because I had no leadership with direction. When I read publications such as yours I have great hope for reform among our people. We need not war with each other as Christians unless there is error–there is much error–sad to say. It is hard for me to think I trusted leaders who would not lead. But it is not all waste because the Holy Spirit taught me scripture and when the right leader came along I knew it right away. I am now in a Reformed Southern Baptist Church with a wonderful Calvinist pastor who is not afraid to preach the truth as God's word plainly gives.
Again, may I say thanks for the wonderful way you present the truth, giving both sides a hearing–that is very commendable.
Love in Christ,
Dear Sir,
I would like to extend my subscription for the next two years.
I give thanks to our God for information I receive through the journal. It has helped to change me to be a more biblically sound Christian and to have a better awareness of the history of Southern Baptists.
I once gave adherence to a "man-centered numbers game," approach to Christianity. The Founders Journal and some area friends helped me to see that there was more to it!
I'm thankful for His providential hand in bringing me to more of an awareness of who He is! Our Southern Baptist forefathers knew the God of the Scriptures in greater depth than those who seek to lead us now.
Thank you, dear brothers, for your work in helping us around the church field to know these truths.
Sincerely a Founders Journal fan,
R.S., Conyers, GA

Plebs claim row 'out of proportion'
1:06pm Friday 28th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Government chief whip Andrew Mitchell has risked inflaming the bitter row over his altercation with Downing Street police officers by again insisting that he did not call them plebs.
In an interview with his local newspaper, the Sutton Coldfield Observer, Mr Mitchell said he wants to "draw a line" under a matter which was "blown out of all proportion" by the media.
He says he still does not accept the police account of what happened last week when officers refused to allow him to cycle through the main Downing Street gates.
According to the report in the official police log, published in full in The Daily Telegraph newspaper, he swore repeatedly at the officers, calling them "f****** plebs".
But Mr Mitchell said in the interview: "I think most people who know me know I would not use words like 'pleb' or 'moron' in describing anyone. I would gently point out that I did not say the words that have been ascribed to me. I hope my constituents and friends in Sutton Coldfield will not recognise the hideous caricature that has been portrayed in some of the tabloid press."
His refusal to accept the police account has angered many officers, with police representatives saying that he is effectively impugning the integrity of the officers involved.
Mr Mitchell acknowledged that he "did not treat the police with the respect they deserve" and said he "apologised profusely" to the officer involved. "I have apologised and I hope it's possible to draw a line under it," he said.
Despite the differing versions of events, No 10 has rejected calls for an inquiry by Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood to establish who is telling the truth, saying that the police have decided not to pursue the matter.
David Cameron, dogged by questions about the issue during his attendance at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, said Mr Mitchell's behaviour is "deeply regrettable" but that his apology should be the end of it.
"On the basis he has given an apology and the police have decided not to pursue that any further, that is where matters should rest," he said.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia (AP) -- A state senator was stabbed Tuesday in his head and chest at his home, and his son died at the residence from a gunshot wound, police said.
Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller wouldn't say who stabbed Sen. R. Creigh Deeds or how his son was shot, but she did say authorities were not looking for any suspects.
The Democratic senator, who ran unsuccessfully for governor four years ago, was in critical condition at a hospital.
Authorities received an emergency call Tuesday morning and responded to the senator's home in rural Bath County in western Virginia, police said. They found the 55-year-old senator there with multiple stab wounds. Deeds' 24-year-old son, Gus, was also found there at the home, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Geller said they were still trying to figure out motive and the sequence of events.
"It's a very complex investigation," Geller said. She said police have been able to talk with the senator, but she wouldn't reveal what he said. She also did not say who made the emergency call.
Deeds and his wife, Pam, divorced shortly after the 2009 campaign. Deeds remarried last year but authorities wouldn't say whether there were others in the home at the time.
Deeds, who drafted a constitutional amendment guaranteeing Virginians' right to hunt, long enjoyed support from the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights advocates.
Deeds has been in the state Senate since 2001. He also ran for attorney general and governor, losing both times to current Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Deeds, a former Bath County prosecutor, was elected to Virginia's House of Delegates in 1991 and to the state Senate in 2001. He ran for attorney general in 2005, but lost to McDonnell, a Republican. The margin of victory was fewer than 400 votes out of nearly 2 million cast.
Deeds and McDonnell squared off again in 2009 in the race for governor but Deeds lost badly that time.
McDonnell said in a statement the news was "utterly heartbreaking."
"Creigh Deeds is an exceptional and committed public servant who has always done what he believes is best for Virginia and who gives his all to public service," McDonnell said in the statement.
Gus Deeds is one of the senator's four adult children. He had been enrolled at the College of William and Mary off and on since 2007, and withdrew last month, school spokesman Brian Whitson said. The college did not say why he left.
During Deeds' bid for governor, his son took off a semester to join his dad on the campaign trail.
"He needs me and I need him," Deeds told a reporter in the fall of 2009, about campaigning with Gus.
"I've got to go through this campaign process but that doesn't mean I've got to be completely separated from my family the whole time," he said.
The new governor-elect, Terry McAuliffe, called it a sad day for Virginia and the many people who know Creigh.

HOCHFILZEN, Austria (AP) — Synnoeve Solemdal of Norway won the women's biathlon World Cup pursuit Sunday in a repeat of her maiden victory here last year.
Solemdal missed one target in the first round but shot flawlessly after that before finishing the 10-kilometer race in 30 minutes, 16.2 seconds. Juliya Dzhyma of Ukraine hit all targets and came 11.5 seconds behind in second.
Solemdal said "winning again after last year, I can't believe it. On the last loop I was so afraid that the Ukrainian girl would overtake me but it was enough."
Krystyna Palka of Poland took third, trailing Solemdal by 15.1. Defending overall champion Tora Berger of Norway had three mistakes in her second shooting round and finished 1:30.2 off the lead in 18th.
A men's 12.5K pursuit will conclude the meet later Sunday.

By the end of trading, Chunghwa Telecom fell 32 cents (-0.9%) to $33.48 on light volume. Throughout the day, 182,184 shares of Chunghwa Telecom exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 353,100 shares. The stock ranged in price between $33.31-$33.78 after having opened the day at $33.71 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $33.80. Other company's within the Telecommunications industry that declined today were: DRI Corporation (TBUS), down 11.8%, MER Telemanagement Solutions (MTSL), down 8.5%, RF Monolithics (RFMI), down 7.4%, and WPCS International Inc (WPCS), down 6.7%. Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. provides integrated telecommunications services primarily in Taiwan. Chunghwa Telecom has a market cap of $26.05 billion and is part of the technology sector.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, expanding profit margins, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow.
