1) Texas Gov. Rick Perry is airing radio ads in California in an effort to lure companies to move east. A public-private marketing partnership called TexasOne is paying for the 30-second advertisement that touts Texas's low taxes and industry-friendly regulations along with strict limits on lawsuits. In the ad, Perry says that he hears "building a business in California is next to impossible." He calls on California businesses to "come check out Texas." (Source: LA Times).
2) Embattled nutritional-supplements maker Herbalife Ltd. denied a report that it is being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission, calling the report "misleading and inaccurate." A report from the New York Post said Herbalife is the subject of a pending FTC investigation after the agency received pages of complaints about Herbalife's business practices. The information was reportedly obtained via a Freedom of Information Act. Herbalife is locked in a public battle with hedge fund manager William Ackman, who alleges its distributors earn more money recruiting other distributors than by selling products.

Three days later, another 13-year-old girl came forward saying basically the same thing. And then a third.(MyFoxLA.com)

Kyle was a decorated Iraq war veteran, a former SEAL and author of "American Sniper." In response to the news, Paul tweeted: "Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense."

11) A new cell phone app allows drinkers to see what the effect of their alcohol consumption will look like in their facial appearance if they continue to drink. The app is the idea of the Scottish Government's Healthier Scotland campaign. It will be free until March 2013. The application, called the "Drinking Mirror App," allows users to upload or take a photo of themselves and then add information about their alcohol consumption. It then shows half of their face as it looks now and the other half as it would appear in 10 years with weight gain, discolored skin, wrinkles and red splotches that binge drinking can cause.

Taking the North Country to Northern India
Becky McCluskey, age 18, is a 2004 graduate of Potsdam High School. She is participating in the Leap Year Program, which enables students to earn a year of college credit while immersing themselves in another culture. Students learn through language classes, service projects, home stays, and seminars/retreats with local teachers. Becky is spending the Fall Semester in northern India, including New Delhi, Mcleod Ganj, home of the Tibetan government in exile, Rishikesh, and Varanasi.
I'll try to give you as good a play-by-play as I can of my past 4 days. They've been crazy long, so I 'm sure I 'll leave stuff out, but here goes...
On some day (I don't remember which anymore) we arrived in Hong Kong and explored the city. I was totally surprised by it at first because the city is surrounded by these beautiful mountains; whenever I pictured china all I saw were rice patties. So, yeah, the city was basically like any other city but it had a lot more chinese people and a lot more chinese signs (naturally). Oh, but everybody drives on the other side of the road (because of the British occupation) and in the park that we went into there was a kung fu corner. I mean there were literally signs that said kung fu corner, and there were people doing tai chi and whatnot so we did our resonation stuff (Tibetan rights - ask me later to explain) in the corner of the kung fu corner :). Later in the afternoon we went to the Hong Kong Museum of Art where I saw a bunch of calligraphy stuff and, well, other stuff. And then we took a tram ride to the top of Victoria Peak where you could see the whole city and the bay...it was really pretty.
After a 6-hour long flight later (on which I felt sick, I got a cold and was getting chills) we arrived in Delhi around 2 in the morning. That first day was a bit of a blur because I was out of it because of my cold and it was really hot in Delhi so it didn't make for a good combo. Anyway, we stayed in a hostel that was about a 5-minute walk from Connaught Place- a shopping area in New Delhi that is as close to western civilization as you're gonna get but is definitely not like any other city I have ever been to. The thing with Delhi and I guess all of India is that poverty doesn't have it's own section like it does in the US. I mean, there is no slum section, because the slums are everywhere...there are garbage and homeless people in the street next to five-star hotels and fancy cafes. The outward appearance of everything seems shabby but on the inside places can be extremely nice. And the smells are not what I imagined. I pictured one gross stench but it's more like there is no one smell, there are just wafts. Some wafts are really good-smelling food, and other wafts are incredibly nasty. But yeah, the first day in Delhi most of the stores were closed...i guess they close on Sundays...but the second day we went out there was people everywhere and everything was open. On the second day I also got my first taste of rikshaws (death traps on wheels, but they're tons of fun), I saw a snake charmer,and well, tons of other stuff but I can't think right now.
At the end of our second day we got a bus that would take us from Delhi to McLeod Ganj (near Dharmsala) which is where I am now. But let me explain. So the bus ride was 13 hours of hell (sort of). Well, first to get out of Delhi we got to drive through Old Delhi. New Delhi was set up more under British influence whereas old delhi was not, so compared to Old Delhi, New Delhi is clean. There was tons and tons of poor people and so much more garbage and grossness in Old Delhi (i guess more of what it's really like). That was also where I saw my first cows wandering around. But anyway, we were on that bus for a long time and we stopped at sketchy places to eat and the bathrooms...ugh, there were some pretty nasty bathrooms.
Anyway, around 6 in the morning we got into the mountain region and the sun started coming up and oh, it was sooooooo beautiful. The Himalayas were like, right there as a backdrop as the sun was rising. Needless to say I went picture crazy on the bus which was stupid because the pictures will probably be blurry and I could get really good ones now because McLeod Ganj has got to be in one of the most fabulously brilliant places in the world. There is still poverty and poor people here but the view everywhere you look is to die for. This is the place where the Tibetan government is in exile so there are tons of monks, and prayer flags, and prayer wheels. Unfortunately His Holiness is out of town (mom- so much for that letter of recommendation :) ) but that's alright.
So yeah, we're staying here for the next 2-and-a-half weeks or so. We start homestays on the 9th and do internships around then, too. As of right now I don't know anything about my homestay family or what I 'll be doing as my internship, but I did have a class with this guy who's a tangkha painter...but we just drew stuff, we didn't actually paint. It was still a lot of fun (we were split into 2 groups--one cooked and one did drawing, and tomorrow we switch).
Anyway, time for my confession. It's a bit of a love-hate relationship, but first, let me explain my reasoning (there are many reasons but here's a few):
But you should never limit yourself just because you are afraid of what others might think, so I did it. I shaved my hair. Not Mr. Clean shaved my hair, more like a baby monkey or an army recruit. So yeah, when you see me again I will probably have pixie-length hair. As I sit here rubbing my head all I can do is smile and try to imagine what you must be thinking as you read this... And all I can do is laugh. :)
Love you lots,

The next public festival will be in October (21st to 24th of October).
During four days the city of Lucerne, cultural capital of central Switzerland, will enchant you with the magic of film. The brilliant venues of our hosting partners like the Hotel Schweizerhof, Hotel National and the Art Deco Montana Hotel offer our audience unique ambience and scenery out of this world.
The "i" in LiFF not only stands for "international", but also for "independent". International are the films shown at the festival and also the filmmakers that submitted their work from all over the world. Independent and free spirited are the subjects and contents of their films. Even low budget movies with strong stories get a chance to show their films at our festival. Our program is unique and most of the films cannot be seen in the mainstream theaters. Quality and content are of high importance - heartfelt and moving stories are the soul of the festival.
Worldwide, only a small percentage of films make it to the big movie theaters and get a chance to be seen by a larger audience. In many cases those lower budgeted films are historically and culturally absolutely unique but lack the necessary financial and marketing means to be shown in large cinemas. Exactly these are the pearls our team has found for you! We took various cultures as well as different tastes into account. You can look forward to classic dramas, fascinating documentaries, fancy comedies, exceptional animations as well as hair-raising horror and SciFi movies. The closeness and personal discussions between filmmakers and audience is our foremost priority. Therefore various platforms have been created in hotels and the Louis Bar serving for a lively but intimate setting.

"Your book made me laugh and cry, but mostly it made me realize that I will get through this time and hopefully be able to move on to a new chapter in life with adult kids. Thanks for being so 'real' in your writing and sharing your experiences."
Katherine Dowd, Sharon, MA
"A dear friend gave me your book because my oldest son is about to go to college. I wondered how I would handle not having him around after all these wonderful years. After reading your book, I feel more at peace and I wanted to thank you for writing your story and sharing it!"
Missy Noon, Knoxville, TN
"Thank you for putting into words what I needed to hear just now. It feels good to know I am not alone!"
Michelle Rodgers, Peoria, Arizona
"I love that feeling of being welcomed into the private lives of people who actually have something worthwhile to say. Today I have reveled in your writing, and I am so encouraged to see that there remains an audience for matters of the heart and the human condition. We parents tend to seek an affirmation of faith among each other, that the crazy days and sleepless nights and worry all do make sense. Thank you for the validation."
Kristen Twedt, Biloxi, MS
"I read your words and felt such comfort in knowing I'm not the only one who has ever felt so happy yet so scared at the same time. You walk along and think you are the first mom ever to be so in love with a child. Then, you realize you didn't discover a new unique relationship; this blessed gift of motherhood is shared with millions of women every day. I only wish I could put my feeling into words the way you have done; so beautiful, direct, true and pure Thank you for the subtle reminder that these are the good days."
Stacey Bluett, York, PA
"Your wonderful book is hitting my group of friends at the exact right moment in time. It's so comforting to know that we are not alone at this crossroads in our lives. This re-defining of the job to which we have dedicated every moment for the last 20 years is so complicated! Not to mention the stirrings in all our 50-something minds – realizing that due to certain choices we have made there are things in life that we will never do, even as we are beginning to awaken to the new possibilities of other options that lie ahead. I am sure you are fully aware of the great resonance your words have in the hearts of so many of your fellow mothers out there, but I had to share my gratitude with you also. Your book is something of a beacon in new and tricky waters, and it's comforting to know that so many are navigating this adventure together."
Julie Brennan Clucas, Glen Ellyn, IL
"Your book is a source of comfort and solace. Though it chronicles your journey with older children, the challenges of letting go, growing into oneself, and growing through relationships in a family, are timeless."
Lisa Friedman, Cambria, CA
"Your book was life changing for me. Every sentence is richly and beautifully written–there is no desire to rush through, for fear of missing even the tiniest of revelations. Thank you for sharing your deepest thoughts and feelings–so many mirror my own."
Christine Pannozzo, Clearwater, FL
"You truly speak to every mother who is trying to keep up with it all, who sometimes forgets to live in the moment."
Martie Grant, Beaumont, AB, Canada
"We've all had the experience of reading a book and marveling at the way someone we don't even know has managed to distill and encapsulate our innermost thoughts. It has been almost uncanny, to listen to your book and gasp at the myriad similarities."
Lisa Moore, Amherst, NH
"Very few books do I read touch me so deeply. I too full the pull of my children becoming more and more independent and wondering what I am supposed to do with myself now that they don't seem to need much from me other than laundry, food and the taxi ride. Thanks for a wonderful reading experience!"
Karen Kynett, Glen Mills, PA
"Your book puts words to my feelings, pinpoints my perspective, articulates the moments and emotions I could not describe. I feel like you wrote this book for me. That we have been on the phone or that you are an old friend and when I pick up the book we are talking again."
Michelle Thompson, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada
"I felt as if you were writing just for me. Now I know I am not alone in the experiences of my mom journey."
Kathy S. van den Burg, Trumbauersville, PA
"Please know that there is a 45 year old mom here whom you have inspired to continue to 'just be.' Thanks again for reminding us all of the pleasure in everyday things."
Colleen M. MacVarish, Hollis, NH
"I don't remember reading any book that has been so profound and honest. It is my hope that I will use the wisdom of your words and experiences to become a better mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, person, and that I will accept my children as they are and look for the good things about them. Thank you for helping me realize this. Your book is an inspiration and a delight."
Donna Caneega Attaway, Milledgeville, GA
"I wish that I could have read this book when I was struggling with my boys going off to college. I tried to find something that eased the pain and confusion that I felt–I got a job instead. Know I am rethinking what I want to do, maybe just quietness for a while without doing is just what I need. Thank you for the lovely inspiration."
Grisel E. Levene, Dublin, NH
"You speak to me through every chapter. Thank you so much for writing this book, I think I'll keep it on my night stand for many years to come."
Anne Baney, Indialantic, Florida
"Some way, some how you had the story and the words and the life experiences to put down onto paper the exact words of wisdom I needed to hear, at the precise time I needed to hear them. You are able to so eloquently describe the thoughts and feelings about being a mom and a woman approaching midlife, and change and letting go and moving on, and how to simply live a better, fuller, true and honest LIFE. Every single page of your book was food for my soul, and I thank you from the very bottom of my heart."
Kathy Mercer, Windsor, Ontario, Canada
"Once I picked up the book, I couldn't put it down. You managed to put into words so many of the things I've been pondering and considering, the simplicity I desire for my own life. I can attest to the fact that writing about simplicity is surprisingly difficult, and you managed to capture the nuanced and complex nature of this elusive 'something' that we're all searching for — with a captivating voice. While I am not a mother myself, there was much to be learned from your 'mother's memoir'."
Elizabeth Grant Thomas, Albuquerque, New Mexico
"Your words captivated me from the start. Thank you for the many reminders in your books to slow down, to pay attention, to be kind, and to love deeply. You have reminded me that soon enough my many small and tender moments with these boys wrapped around my legs will be gone, and you have inspired me to savor each and every one of them just a little more deeply."
Claudia Cummins, Mansfield, OH
"I just had to let you know how much your book has touched me. The Gift of an Ordinary Day is so much about my life. I understand your frustrations, your fears and dreams. Thank you for this book."
Judy Berna, East Greenbush, NY
"Thank you most of all for your candor in expressing your feelings about how to find a new identity as an empty nester. I too am working very hard to live in the present and simplify the life the four of us hold together for now. I feel like you wrote the book to guide me along."
Lou Anne Sexton, Mendota Heights, Minnesota
"Don't laugh at me, but all of the fears and anxieties you described in your book about the changes that families go through as children get older –well, I have them now and my kids are only 4 and 5! I really related to the entire book and I think because I genuinely liked you, it made the book all the more touching. I'm definitely keeping your book on my shelves (already overflowing!!) for the day when my children leaving me is even closer. Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience and insights..I loved being on the journey with you and it made me feel better to know that I am not alone in my feelings as a mom."
Sandra Mitchell, Downers Grove, IL
"I feel like this book was written for me, personally. You touched every emotion that I have had in the last couple of years. I just want you to know that I consider your book to be life-changing for me, and for my family."
Laura Jenkins, Houston, Texas
"While reading your book, so many of my thoughts and realizations found not only companionship but validation and hope. Thank you for becoming my 'partner' with your book, comforting me with your words and easing my way to 'surrender.' I know that this process won't be easy or quick…but I'm on my way."
Lori Marianacci, Bedford Hills, NY
" You and I are kindred spirits and I am sure we would be fast friends if we were to meet. As a young mother, I listened to Mitten Strings for God on a long drive by myself one afternoon and was completely transformed by it. I gave that book to everyone for the next couple of years. I thought every mother out there could benefit from lessons of slowing down their pace in life and enjoy the everyday moments of motherhood. After spending an emotional afternoon yesterday finalizing the college list with my senior son and husband, I had the good fortune to spend a half an hour wondering around a book store. Finding 'The Gift of an Ordinary Day' was like finding a vintage Valentino gown in a thrift shop… I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a way to enjoy this process instead of being burdened by it.
"I know I speak for many mothers when I say that, in addition to articulating what is in our hearts and minds, you are really one of Us. Us meaning a mom who has tried to balance it all, be the best mom you can be, hang in there when it gets tough, still keep a sense of self and find joy in the journey. Moms need heroes too.
Tracy Tobias, La Canada, California

Planning Application for 217/219 Park Road
I confirm that I am in support of the below planning application 10/12524/FUL.
Although I may or may not live in the immediate vicinity I have seen the plans for the development at 217/9 Park Road, Kingston and think the scheme is extremely well designed and in keeping with the local area. The scheme also supports the local authority's UDP for more housing and the government's policy for more housing.
Can I also ask that in the comment section you add your house number and postcode as well as any comments you wish to make.

With just four words, Ashland native Jesse Cline, 19, got one step closer to realizing his dream of a professional singing career.
"You're going to Hollywood!"
Cline got a coveted "golden ticket" on this week's American Idol auditions.
"I just freaked out! I asked Jennifer Lopez for a hug. I ran out the door just screaming. It was awesome. It was awesome," Cline said.
It took American Idol judges just seconds to recognized the talent Cline's mom said he was born with.
"I think he was singing right when he was born. I think when he was crying it was in tune," his mom, Shea Horton, said.
Cline said it was "unbelievable" to perform in front of the judges. He said have all accomplished what he hopes to in his career.
All three judges present, including Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick, Jr. and Keith Urban, gave Cline strong praise.
Cline's Atlanta audition aired Thursday night on the 13th season of American Idol.
"It was unlike any feeling I've ever had before really. It's just so many eyes in that moment looking right at me!" he said.
While he couldn't say how he performed during Hollywood week just yet, Cline said he hopes just seeing how far he's come so far will inspire others to go after their own dreams.
"There's no reason if I can, that you can't. Absolutely," he said.
You can watch American Idol Wednesdays and Thursdays on WVAH-TV.

The Wildcats took a 23-10 lead in the first 13 minutes of the
game, but the Tigers went on an 11-0 run and tied the score going into
halftime. Pacific's 14-0 run at the eight-minute mark of the second half gave
the Tigers the edge and Arizona could not recover.
Pacific shot 64 percent from the field in the second half,
including a 57.1 percent mark from the three-point line. Previously, the Tigers
averaged 39 percent from behind the arc.

Student Workshops
Enhance your visit with these in-depth workshops, which are designed around the Common Core to help students think critically, consider multiple perspectives, and work collaboratively. Students discover history through text analysis, hands-on encounters with objects, and focused time in our exhibitions.
Advance reservations are required. All workshops serve a minimum of ten students and a maximum of sixty-five (or two classrooms) per day. Please note that generally one workshop session is held for each registered classroom.
Wonderful World's Fair
Available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
During this workshop students will discover the buildings and the innovations of the 1893 world's fair, such as the first Ferris wheel. Through hands-on object and photograph analysis, a mapping exercise, firsthand accounts, and time in the Chicago: Crossroads of America exhibition, students will imagine spending a day at the fair. 45-minute experience (per class); recommended for grades 3 and 4.
Cost: $3 per student
Painted Memories: The Great Chicago Fire
Available on Wednesdays.
There are no photographs of the Great Chicago Fire. Painters recorded the blaze so vividly, however, that over a century later we can understand this historic event through their work. During this program, students work collaboratively to create a written and physical response to a historic painting. They will discuss and analyze the artist's written account to gain insight into the lives of the people who experienced the Great Chicago Fire and to think critically about art and the messages it conveys. The workshop concludes with an opportunity for students to create a cover for their own fire narrative. 45-minute experience (per class); recommended for grades 3 and 4.
Cost: $3 per student
Special bus reimbursement offer for this workshop only! Once you have a confirmed reservation, Megan Clark, School Programs Coordinator, will contact you to provide the details on how you can qualify.
The development of Painted Memories: The Great Chicago Fire Workshop is supported by a generous grant from the Terra Foundation for American Art.
History a la Cart
Engage with history at History à la Cart stations, where students actively analyze and interpret the past. Facilitated by trained staff and volunteers, these 20-minute hands-on experiences are located throughout our galleries.
Grades 3–5
The Great Chicago Fire
Use an oversized map, icons, photographs and first-hand accounts to trace the events of October 8–10, 1871, and collaboratively tell the story of the fire.
Prairie Landscape
Measure and mark the height and root depth of native plants. Imagine the vastness of the prairie through images and settlers' accounts.
Discover how skyscrapers developed over time. Imagine living in the famous John Hancock Center. Explore Chicago's skyscrapers through improvisation and building activities.
Discover objects through touch and discussion, then bring an adjective into the gallery and choose an artifact that matches it. Draw and write about your object, then share your opinion and find out what others think.
Grades 3–8
Create, construct, and test bridges to discover how they work and why they are so important in Chicago's history.
Map Chicago's history on this one-of-a-kind gallery hunt. Use a compass and geography skills to connect artifacts to locations on a large, eye-catching map.
History à la Cart Schedule
For more flexibility during your visit, all stations are accessible on a first-come, first-served basis.
Generous support for the Chicago History Museum gallery activity stations has been provided by the Albert Pick, Jr. Fund. The Museum gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Carole and Gordon Segal and Bank of America, who made the maps activity station possible.

SPOKANE, Wash. - If you have a new car or
truck and plan to buy tires soon, it could cost you more than you bargained for.
Instead of dropping $500 to $600 for new snow
tires, you could spend closer to $900. And it's all because of the
The federal government has mandated that
all cars, 2008 or newer, have tire
pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) in their tires. The sensors monitor the air pressure
inside of your tires and, when it's low,
warns the driver with a buzzer or flashing light on the dash.
There are a couple of different ways to ensure your car is updated with the
1.) Most newer cars already have the sensors in the wheels so you can just switch out
the car's regular tires for snow tires. Perfection Tire Co-owner Jeremy
Dierks said this costs about $65 bucks for all four tires ($15 a tire). This way
will save you money in the short term, however, you will have to pay that
amount again when you switch the snow tires
back to regular tires.
2.) You can also pay for a new set of sensors to go
into the snow tires. That could cost you a lot more up front since the sensors
can cost anywhere from $60 to $200 per tire.
Is the cost for a new set of sensors worth
Dierks said "They do come in handy? As far
as the answer to the question: 'why can't
we check them the old way?' That's the million dollar question. I really wish it
was that simple. I don't know why they came up with them. They do come in handy
and I don't know about life-saving. I imagine so. But I've definitely seen a lot
of tires saved by them."
If you decide to switch the sensors from a
regular set of tires to snow tires, Dierks said, many times the sensors have to
be re-set. However, that shouldn't
typically cost any more money.

Metea Valley's Nia Flowers takes a jump shot over Oswego's Amri Wilder on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013. | Terence Guider-Shaw~For Sun-Times Media
Trailing at the half against Oswego in Tuesday's Class 4A Metea Valley Regional semifinals, Metea Valley's girls basketball team decided it wasn't time for the program's best season to come to a close.
Down by four at the break, the Mustangs opened the third quarter on a 10-2 run and never looked back. Metea picked up a 51-43 win to advance to Friday's regional title game against second-seeded Neuqua Valley, a team Metea lost twice to in Upstate Eight Valley play this season.
"When we came into the locker room at halftime, none of us were happy with the way we played," Metea senior Lori Obendorf said. "We didn't want the season to end, nobody does at this point. You always know that the teams are going to be putting their best on the floor at this point in the season. We had to be ready for it, and we didn't come out ready for it. We turned that around in the second half and we decided that we didn't want to go home and we wanted it more than them."
In the first half, Metea (22-6) wasn't getting the ball inside enough for coach Kris Kalivas' liking on the offensive end. And on the defensive end, Oswego sophomore Siarra O'Neill consistently broke Metea's zone to the tune of 15 first-half points. That helped the Panthers (13-13) take a 25-21 lead into the break.
But in the second half, the Mustangs focused on getting the ball inside more and switched junior Jenny Voytell to guard O'Neill on the defensive end. Both practices proved crucial to the comeback and sustaining the lead in the fourth quarter. Metea led by as many as 12 points in the fourth quarter.
O'Neill only scored two more points. Meanwhile, Voytell led the Mustangs with 16 points in the win in addition to her defensive work.
"Jenny has been so successful and so key for us as of late taking the ball to the hole," Kalivas said. "When she gets the open look, she's very good at finishing and she did a good job of that tonight."
Obendorf and Nia Flowers each scored 14 points for Metea, with Obendorf adding 14 rebounds. O'Neill led the Panthers with 17 points and Amri Wilder added 11.
The Panthers only graduate one player, Rebecca Anderson, off the current roster, so coach Chad Pohlmann hopes his young team learned some lessons in the loss.
"Physically, all of our players have to get stronger," Pohlmann said. "That's hours in the weight room and then skills and really working on fundamentals. If we do those things, I think we'll have a chance to be a pretty good club next year."

Walmart: Bring Back White Stag Clothing
We, who have shopped at Walmart for years and love the White Stag brand of clothing, demand that you bring the brand back into all your stores! It isn't fair that there are some White Stag available online for regular sized women, but not for Plus Sized Women! The brand "Just My Size" does not fill the bill of the missing White Stag clothing! It doesn't fit as well, doesn't last as long, shrinks after washing, etc... So BRING BACK WHITE STAG!!

PONTIAC, Ill. -- Livingston County and Pontiac officials remain tight-lipped Tuesday night after two people were found dead and another gravely injured in a Pontiac motel room Tuesday morning.
Pontiac Police Chief Jim Woolford said they are investigating the incident as a homicide.
Chief Woolford believes it is an isolated incident and said they are not looking for any suspects.
Officers responded to the Palamar motel for a well-being check just before 11:00 a.m. Tuesday.
Upon arrival, they located 2 bodies in room 239 of the motel. A third person, described as "gravely injured", was transported to a hospital. Their condition is not known at this time.
Chief Woolford said, "That's how we were notified was a well-being check, upon learning of deceased persons inside, that's the standard protocol is to seek a search warrant just so we're able to move inside the residence and collect all the evidence to determine what in fact took place."
The Chief would not comment on a weapon used.
The Palamar Motel is located in the 200 block of Ladd Street. The long-time motel now provides mostly weekly and monthly rates.
As of early Tuesday afternoon Livingston County coroner Michael Burke was working to identify the victims.
Police Chief said he expects positive identification to be made late Wednesday.
Chief Woolford said in a statement Tuesday night that it is vital to their investigation not to release any more details at this time until family members can be officially notified.
We will have more details as they become available.

Primary preview: Gingrich on size of U.S. oil resources
By Robert Higgs
Published on Monday, February 27th, 2012 at 1:30 p.m.
In a 30-minute speech that's running on television as a campaign ad in selected primary states, Newt Gingrich suggests the United States is awash in oil.
"Turns out, we may have more oil in the United States today, given new science and new technology, than we have actually pumped worldwide since 1870," Gingrich says.
"We may, in fact, by one estimate, have three times as much oil in the United States as there is in Saudi Arabia."
With the Ohio primary just over a week away and Republican candidates citing gasoline prices in their criticisms of President Barack Obama, PolitiFact took a look at Gingrich's statement. We focused on his claim that the U.S. may have "three times as much oil in the United States as there is in Saudi Arabia."

King Curling (King Curling)
60 Lake Street
Burlington, VT 05401
Norway | 2013 | Fiction | Norwegian w/English subtitles
Run Time: 90 minutes
Film source: Films Boutique
Sponsors: Eyes On The World
King Curling is nothing less than The Big Lebowski of curling movies. If that's not enough to intrigue you, consider that it's also full of deadpan humor, pill-popping weirdos, and heavyset, gaudily attired Norwegians with emotional problems. A riot of color, comedy, and, yes, curling, King Curling slots itself neatly into the tradition of sports comedies about ne'er-do-well misfits (The Bad News Bears and Kingpin come to mind) who band together – in as awkward and bizarre a manner as possible – to win The Big Game. In this case, that game is the championship of curling, a sport often mocked tepidly in late-night monologues around Winter Olympics time, but the film, as a kind of bonus feature, reveals it to be more complex and entertaining than it appears. The inherent ridiculousness of the sport – ice brooms, really? – rests knowingly at the heart of this fun, outsized comedy that will have you laughing out loud and rooting for the underdog misfit loser oddball emotionally maladjusted gang of bizarro curlers.

Bills release LB Barnett, SS Wilson
The Bills released veterans LB Nick Barnett and SS George Wilson on Monday, the team announced.
Bills choose not to re-sign WR Jones
The Bills announced Thursday that they will not tender WR Donald Jones, which makes him a free agent.
Johnson had a strong finish with six catches for 111 yards in the Bills' win over the Jets on Sunday.||||||| Johnson had more than 100 yards receiving in two of his last three games to finish with 1,046 on the season.
Johnson established season highs for catches (eight) and yards (115) on Sunday against Seattle while also scoring a touchdown.||||||| Johnson hasn't been a reliable scoring threat since receiving touchdown passes in three straight games at the beginning of the season but has two touchdown catches in Buffalo's last three games.
Johnson is active for Sunday's game against St. Louis after being limited in practice on Thursday and Friday because of a hamstring injury.||||||| Johnson pulled himself out of last week's game after sustaining the injury.
Johnson had 106 yards on six receptions in a 20-13 loss at Indianapolis on Sunday.||||||| It was the first 100-yard game since Dec. 11 for Johnson, who has 53 catches for 687 yards this season. He has topped 1,000 in each of the past two campaigns.
Johnson has questioned why a more experienced player wasn't targeted on the final offensive snap in a loss at New England last weekend. The receiver said rookie T.J. Graham shouldn't be faulted for running the wrong route that led to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick having his pass intercepted by Devin McCourty in the end zone with 23 seconds left of a 37-31 loss.||||||| Johnson said Graham wound up running a play he had never attempted in practice. Graham had been the intended receiver but ran behind McCourty rather than in front of him. He raised his concerns Tuesday as the Bills (3-6) prepare to host Miami (4-5) on Thursday night.

Welcome to Bitcoin Utopia!
Bitcoin Utopia is a crowd-donation platform for incentive awards and science projects. It is a channel to mine and donate bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin Utopia has two websites: com and net.
Imagine, if you could leave your computer on to make money, literally. It has not been possible, because we have been using fiat money, but it has been possible since the introduction of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and litecoin. Those are only two examples of mineable cryptocurrencies.
Now imagine, if you could do something to encourage people to make innovations to solve everyday problems we are facing. That's where the money comes in: People do work because they are usually paid for it. Science projects tend to fail if they are underfunded. There are organizations hosting innovation competitions and incentive awards. There are charities raising donations for good causes.
With the power of the crowd it is possible to raise decent amounts of donations for science projects and incentive awards. That is what we do here in Bitcoin Utopia. We have science project campaigns and incentive award campaigns for raising donations.
There are basically two different methods for contributing
- contributing by mining cryptocurrencies for the cryptocurrency addresses of the campaign
- contributing by sending cryptocurrencies to the cryptocurrency addresses of the campaign
There are two types of customers in Bitcoin Utopia, donator customers and donatee customers.
- Donator customer: The user who donates (e.g. by mining cryptocurrencies with his/her computer or sending them directly from his/her cryptocurrency wallet). Bitcoin Utopia will get the fee of 15% of the BOINC mined donations from donator customers without which Bitcoin Utopia would not be possible.
- Donatee customer: The organization who needs a donation (for either incentive award or science project). They must obey the local laws and have a permission to raise donations (if applicable).
I got this pin from XPRIZE Foundation after the crowd-donation of Bitcoin Utopia. Thanks to all the miners in BU! pic.twitter.com/uWPWzylkJS

What is it about men from Britain? They are born with the ability to rock a suit. I've never seen any of these guys look anything less than spectacular.
They occasionally wears suits where the print is visible, like so:
Gary Mulgrew looks terrific in that overcoat. They all look terrific. David Bermingham is the Ken Rice of the Natwest Three. He just looks amazing in everything.

Shawnda and Shaylin now live with Marsha in a house in the woods on the outskirts of Frederick County, in Virginia, decorated front to back with Wild West-themed artwork and antiques.
Shawnda Rush doesn't leave the house without her precisely done makeup and array of jangly bracelets. These days, she's less into miniskirts and heels than she was as a younger woman, and is now more comfortable in jeans and a sweater. She talks with a mild country twang, and her demeanor sways quickly and easily between that of a giddy pre-teen and of a 38-year-old woman weathered by multiple sclerosis.
A normal day includes fatigue, numbness, muscle spasms and temperature sensitivity. A bad day includes migraines, vision problems, extreme fatigue and emotional lows. She undergoes difficult, monthly infusions of the drug Tysabri.
"The infusion takes a little over an hour, and then after that they take the IV out, and they have to monitor you to find out if you're going to die," she said, laughing.
But Shawnda is at least lucky that her massive memory loss coincided with the advent of a tool for rekindling relationships: Facebook.
"You've got to love it," Cindy Davekos-Wilson said. "I got curious if she was on there. She has never not been in my mind."
Cindy couldn't find Shawnda under her married name and had never known her maiden name. In August 2010, however, she woke up to a realization: Shawnda's mother's name was Marsha Rush. She sat down at the computer and typed in "Shawnda Rush." Bingo.
Shawnda accepted her friend request, and the pair reconnected over lunch last March. Cindy told Shawnda stories about her former life, and Shawnda told her that neither Shawnda nor her mother had anything to do with her husband banning Cindy from the house. They both cried at the sandwich shop that day. After being strangers for the better part of a decade, the two were friends again.

INDIANAPOLIS — Legislators may balk at the idea of easing the penalties for marijuana, but a new poll shows a majority of Hoosiers support legalizing the drug and taxing it like alcohol and tobacco.
The same poll finds that a strong majority of Hoosiers oppose amending the state constitution to ban same-sex marriages and civil unions.
The political analysts who conducted the poll say the results show traditionally conservative Hoosiers are changing their minds on hot-button issues, in part because of what they see happening in the rest of the nation."There is a kind of contagion effect," said Joe Losco of Ball State University's Bowen Center for Public Affairs. "As certain sections of the country are willing to make changes, others become more open to do the same."The Bowen Center's annual poll found about 53 percent of those surveyed support legalizing marijuana, while 78 percent said they were ready to see marijuana taxed like cigarettes and alcohol.
The Hoosier Survey also found residents remain split on whether to allow same-sex couples to marry. Forty-eight percent support it, up from 45 percent a year ago. But when asked if the current law banning same-sex marriage should be locked into the constitution, only 38 percent supported the idea.
The Bowen Center's survey also found that Indiana residents want the General Assembly to focus on job creation when it convenes in January. Just more than 83 percent identified jobs as the most critical issue for legislators, followed by improvement to schools (73 percent) and affordable health care (59 percent).
Nearly 44 percent of Indiana residents said environmental protection should also be a top priority for legislators. That's up from about 30 percent when the question was asked three years ago, when Indiana was still in the throes of a recession."When you're worried about putting food on the table, you're not as concerned about clean drinking water," said Ray Scheele, co-director of the Bowen Center.

Let the budget battling begin
By Louis Jacobson
Published on Tuesday, February 15th, 2011 at 5:27 p.m.
The release of the annual presidential budget proposal on Feb. 14, 2011, precipitated a flurry of claims and counter claims about the nation's fiscal picture. Over the next day or two, we'll be checking statements about the budget.
Our first statement is something President Barack Obama said in a Feb. 15, 2011, press conference. We rated it False.
Our second fact-check was a statement by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in a Feb. 15, 2011, press conference that "over the last two years since President Barack Obama has taken office, the federal government has added 200,000 new federal jobs." That rated a False as well.
Our colleagues at PolitiFact Ohio checked an earlier statement by Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, that the U.S. debt to GDP ratio was approaching those of such financially troubled nations as Ireland and Greece. The rating? Half True.
Also, we checked a claim by Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels that said within a few years, the government will be spending more on interest paper than national security. We found the numbers don't back that up. We rated it False.

Former Sidney bank executive admits to stealing $1.4 million
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ A former executive at a western Nebraska bank has pleaded guilty to stealing almost $1.4 million from the branch he ran.
Matthew Monheiser pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to stealing $1,364,953.66 from the former First National Bank in Sidney.
The 38-year-old says he has already repaid $500,000 to the bank and made arrangements to pay another $1 million in restitution.
Prosecutors say Monheiser took the money between 2003 and 2012. Most of the money was obtained by creating loans or issuing cashier's checks in customers' names, increasing existing loans or creating new loans in customer names.
Monheiser also took $82,000 in cash from the bank vault.
Monheiser is scheduled to be sentenced on June 24. Prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence at the low end of the recommended range.
