This magazine serves many purposes—one of which is to be a surrogate home for Big Ideas. Writers and editors often approach the birth of an idea with palpable trepidation. As a general rule, you want to appear smart in print. But as a general rule, not all Big Ideas are, upon first inspection, smart. So a certain amount of manhandling goes into the birthing process: Writer pitches Big Idea, editor chews over Big Idea and spits it back at writer, who chews it over some more then spits it back at the editor. Rinse. Repeat. Eventually, if the Big Idea has an extra-hard core that resists all that editorial mastication, a nugget survives and moves to the next stage: actual creation—the painstaking work of reporting, writing, editing, and designing the thing on the page. Yep, it's a crazy process. What's even nuttier is that we willingly put ourselves through it every month.
Now, want to hear something really crazy? When Polk Laffoon IV brought us his Big Idea nearly two years ago it came fully formed. It wasn't just that Polk had a known track record for producing clear, substantive, well-wrought pieces in our pages (though that helped). Or that he'd thought long and hard about it (though that helped, too). It was that, in addition to perspective and gravitas, he was passionate about it. This Big Idea had gripped him and, by God, he thought that it would grip the readers, too. It also helped that the idea was deceivingly simple: Over the course of three separate essays centered on the river, the hills, and the architecture of Cincinnati, Polk would explore how these features not only define who we are—as a city and as citizens—but show us where we've been, where we're going, and what challenges lie ahead.
With this issue we publish the third and final installment, which focuses on the architectural riches in our midst and kicks off with Polk's piece "Make No Small Plans." Polk has rambled far and wide for all of his essays. He hiked the secret valleys of LaBoiteaux Woods and quizzed the city's geotechnical engineer about the state of our slopes, dove in (literally) to the Great Ohio River Swim, paddled his canoe in Paddlefest, and tapped the brains of the folks at ORSANCO to limn the state of the river. This month he gives us a first-rate education in the significance of the buildings that surround and, yes, define us. To complete the package, we put together a list of the "10 Buildings That Changed the City" and tapped a few more big brains (Aaron Betsky at CAM, Walter Langsam and Michael McInturf at UC, and Cincinnati Form Follows Function cofounder Susan Rissover). At the heart of Polk's essay is a deep concern, which he boils down in one sentence: "Do we have enough resources—and the civic will—to hold on to what we've built?" It's a Big Idea, one that I'll let you chew over on your own, but I think we all know what the answer should be.

Baylor-West Virginia's lacked highlights, you say? We were promised big plays and billions of touchdowns? Geno Smith and Stedman Bailey are trying to help. Bailey's beautiful, 47-yard, over-the-shoulder grab to tie this Big 12 shootout back up:
Smith's now 18-of-20 for 171 yards and two touchdowns with 36 minutes still to go. Heisman front-runner indeed.

Chadron council approves improvements to fairgrounds, baseball field
The Chadron City Council last night approved 3 community betterment projects funded by more than $127,000 from the city's LB-840 economic development sales tax.
One of the 3 projects would replace the bucking chutes and animal pens on the north side of the Dawes County Fairgrounds outdoor arena and upgrade handicapped access to the arena grandstands. County Ag Society president Chadd Arner says the $86,000 project will complete an on-going renovation of the arena by providing handicapped access to the east side of the grandstands as well as the west side.
The other two projects approved by the council involve Maurice Horse Field...home of the Chadron American Legion and Babe Ruth baseball programs.
One...priced at $20,000...replaces the existing dugouts, which are described as in disrepair and too small to seat entire teams. The other replaces the roof over the old rest rooms, adds a new sound system, upgrades the chain link fence with slats, and expands seating with 2 sections of portable bleachers on a concrete pad.
Chadron Youth Baseball president Rolland Sayer says the improvements should increase the chances of Chadron hosting state and district tournaments.
Chadron Parks Superintendent Scott Schremmer says the dugout project won't start until after this summer's seasons.

I had some leftover bacon, some broccoli, some cheddar cheese and thought - what would taste good and be quick to make for tonight's dinner?
Easy and delicious Mac and Cheese with Broccoli and Bacon, it is.
I thought this would be a neat way to get kids to eat their veggies as the creamy mac and cheese is hard to resist. If you don't have any bacon, you could easily add some cooked ham or chicken to the dish as it goes into the oven. Just a few strips of bacon will add a lot of flavor - a little goes a long way.
Mac and Cheese with Broccoli and Bacon
serves about 6
2-3 cups fresh broccoli, washed and cut into bite-size flowerettes
1 lb. elbow macaroni
2 T butter or margarine
2 T flour
2 1/3 cups milk
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
about 4-6 strips of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
buttered bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers as a topping, if desired
Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the broccoli. Let simmer for about 2 minutes until tender, but not over-cooked. Remove broccoli with slotted spoon and set aside. Add macaroni to the boiling water and cook until el dente. Drain.
In the same pot, melt the butter or margarine. Add the flour and whisk well and let bubble gently. Slowly add the milk in several increments, whisking well after each addition. On medium heat, stir the milk mixture until it boils and thickens. Add the cheese, also in increments, and stir well after each addition until well blended.
Remove the pot from the heat.
Stir in about three-quarters of the cooked macaroni into the cheese mixture until well-blended. Gently stir in the broccoli and bacon. Add a little more macaroni if you have plenty of sauce.
Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish. Top with crushed Ritz crackers or buttered bread crumbs, if desired.
Cover and heat in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes.

PEORIA Ill -- Toxicology results show that an Iraq War veteran from Metamora died from heroin and alcohol intoxication in December.
Initial reports indicated Tyler Ziegel died after he had fallen on ice.
In 2004, Ziegel suffered severe injuries after a car bomb exploded while he was serving in Iraq.
Now, following an investigation, Peoria County Coroner, Johnna Ingersoll said Ziegel's death last year was an accident caused by heroin and alcohol intoxication.
"Metamora Police, specifically Detective Dave Frank of Metamora Police, was investigating the circumstances of Tyler's death after learning the cause of death and what toxicology testing results revealed to us," said Ingersoll.
"There are several ways you can take heroin," said Detective Frank. "He may have known what it was, or he may have inadvertently been told it was something else, and took it."
According to reports, Ziegel suffered no injuries from falling.
Metamora Police say a heroin investigation is still on-going.

I know they're both trained by FR and TR probably would never allow it but I would love to see this fight between MP and RP, this guy (Ruslan) is tailormade for Manny, he comes straightforward/has no defense and would be right there all fight long.
I doubt if MP could stand up to the kinda shots that TB took tonight for too long but it would be interesting watching him chase Pac all over the ring before lowering the boom on him.
What are your thoughts on this match up??

The Green Bay Packers practiced with nine of their 11 draft picks under contract, and nine more undrafted free agents.
Only first-round pick Datone Jones, a defensive end from UCLA, and second-round pick Eddie Lacy, a running back from Alabama, had not come to terms.
The team also had 27 players taking part on a tryout basis, a longshot route that has led to contracts for several players over the past few years.
Both Lacy and Jones were able to participate in the practices, and Jones went in with a distinct advantage over his fellow rookies: The defense he played in at UCLA under coach Jim Mora and defensive coordinator Lou Spanos was strikingly similar to the Packers' scheme.

Can I develop an application that runs in background and access location and web service framework periodically within a timed interval. For example, an application that does GPS logging and report back to user thru SMS when certain miles have been reached. (upon user's consent, of course).
If it is possible, would it be a native S60 application or Web Run Time?
Thanks in advance.

Justin Cronin's Favorite Apocalyptic Tales
Now The Twelve is coming soon, and the wait is almost over. In the second book of this apocalyptic trilogy, three survivors of the destructive plague that threatens to end humankind forever must carry the burden of an entire species' survival.
To herald this highly-anticipated upcoming publication, we asked Justin to send us his five favorite apocalyptic tales. His choices are eclectic and diverse, and he even threw in one extra, for good measure.
The Stand . King's epic masterpiece of the conflict between good and evil in a post-pandemic America. Enough said.
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury (1950). A boyhood favorite, Bradbury's vignettes of human settlement of our closest celestial neighbor turns darkly apocalyptic when the colonists realize—uh-oh!—that an atomic war back home means there's no Earth to go back to. The final story, "The Million Year" picnic, is a perfect morsel of dramatic irony.
And no list would be complete without:
NOOK owners: go to shop and search for "Justin Cronin" to pre-order this highly-anticipated apocalyptic novel.

The Stand is one of the best books EVER written. It is my favorite Steven King and I have read it more than a few times! If you have not read it, give it a try, even if you are not a big King fan you will not be sorry.

At 2:02 a.m. on January 31, 2013 members of the Stewardson Fire Department responded to a fully involved structure fire located approximately 3 miles west of Stewardson on County Road 2500 East 1/4 mile north of the Mode Road.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a two story wood-frame residential structure fully involved and partially collapsed. Crews worked until about 4:30 a.m. to extinguish the remains of the house, which is entirely collapsed into the basement.
According to the Shelby County Supervisor of Assessments office the legal owner of the property is Jeremy Yakey of Vidalia, Louisiana, and local sources advise the farm-site is managed locally by Ed Friese of rural Stewardson.
The residence was vacant at the time of the fire, and an official cause of fire is currently undetermined.
Stewardson Firefighters were assisted by the Stewardson Ambulance Service during firefighting operations.

A son's accomplishments as an artist have made a Logansport father proud.
Hugh Leeman, the son of attorney Kelly Leeman, recently won a Masterminds Art Grant from SFWeekly, a publication that focuses on the happenings of San Francisco.
"As to Hugh's work and his recent award, I, as any father, am extremely proud of his art and his accomplishments," said Kelly.
For the $1,500 award, Hugh topped more than 300 artists who submitted materials in the grant competition.
"The award is meaningful because it represents a group of people and an organization in San Francisco that have acknowledged his accomplishments as well," Kelly said. "A significant factor is that when he won out of 300 other Bay area artists he did so without having any formal training other that what he received in art classes at LHS."
Hugh is a self-taught artist living in San Francisco. He draws and paints people he meets on the inner city streets. He then transforms the people, who he says are marginalized by society, into murals that end up on buildings and galleries throughout the world.
"A lot of it is giving people who haven't had an opportunity to tell their story an opportunity to be seen or to be heard," Hugh said.
Hugh graduated from Logansport High School in 2002. He lived in Indiana until the age of 18. From that point, he embarked on a journey around the world. Over the next three years, he lived out of a backpack and worked odd jobs for travel money.
About six years ago, Hugh entered San Francisco. He wanted to work for about six months to earn money for a trip to South America.
He intended on catching a sailboat ride to South Africa, but the art inspired by the people of San Francisco compelled him to cease his global trek.
"I started making art and ended up staying here in San Francisco," he said.
Kelly noted that his son has worked hard to get to the point where people are taking notice of his artwork.
"He has put in countless hours working to perfect his technique and the various art forms he pursues," Kelly said. "His work is constantly evolving as are his political views that he often speaks to with his art."
Many of Hugh's subjects are homeless. To help them, Hugh began trading clothing and canned food in exchange for them posing for a photo he would later depict by drawing and/or painting.
The effort evolved into a "micro economy" based on the artwork.
Hugh started printing shirts that contained the faces of the people he depicted. As he tried to master screen printing, he messed up. He began giving away the shirts. The concept grew in popularity.
Now, through his T-shirt Project, Hugh gives the shirts free of cost to who he calls "vendors." The recipients get to keep 100 percent of the proceeds.
"The shirts are given to the very people who have posed. They sell the shirt baring their own likeness and keep 100 percent of the profits," Hugh said.
Hugh has formed friendships with the people he encounters.
Larry the Bucket Man plays drums on five-gallon buckets turned upside down. He does so every day of the year, rain or shine, Hugh said.
Larry recently found himself the target of a lawsuit over his lack of an entertainer's permit through the city. He did not have money to pay for an attorney so Hugh set up a website — www.bucketmansf.com — that allows people to book Bucket Man to play at parties. Hugh also gives him T-shirts with his face on it to sell wherever he plays.
Hugh used the $1,500 grant to fund the website hosting and print T-shirts baring the face of Larry the Bucket Man.
Hugh wanted his art to be more than "pretty pictures." He figured there was a more worthwhile task for his artwork. He wanted it to literally communicate with people.
Kelly said he has visited his son's studio and noted how apparent his son's dedication is to his work. He also keeps informed by regularly searching Hugh's name online for articles, blogs and videos that make reference to his son.
In 2009, Kelly had a piece depicting a man named Blue playing the harmonica mounted on an outside wall of his office building at 412 E. Broadway in downtown Logansport. The painting has since faded, but Kelly plans to have more permanent artwork installed.
"With the approval of the local review board, I anticipate adding some of his art to my office building this spring as part of my pride and to share his work as part of the developing downtown art district," Kelly said.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
When owners bring their pets into one of the peach-hued rooms at the Angel Light Wellness Center in Arcadia, Constance Petro (626-599-8114) explains right away that she's there to listen—to the animal as well as the person. The pet psychic, who says she has received "impressions" since she was a child, has been helping animal lovers understand their pets' needs and behavior for more than 20 years. "A rescue cat wanted a pink collar with a bell," she recalls, cautioning that hiring a "communicator" such as her is like going to a therapist, so don't book a session—$140 for 45 minutes—unless you're ready to hear the truth. Once a hound told her that one of its owners was having an affair (the couple is now divorced). "Animals never lie," Petro says.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by martyross, Feb 11, 2013.
A new little house for VM lovers
Thank you for new thread, marty
Golden Skate article, with some quotes from VM:
Our brave girl. I dont know any other so brave person in this sport. She never give up!
Wishing Tessa a speedy recovery. Nothing like a true fair fight for the top spot, which can't happen when one team is at a disadvantage.
Looks like reporters have caught on to Tessa and Scott's own mentions of sharing a single "mind" or "head" haha.
Thanks for the new thread, martyross, and thanks for the title, clarie
what a warm, lovely post, CatherineC. made me smile. I am so glad you joined this thread
That made perfect sense to me, Shayii. You so beautifully articulated what I felt when watching this performance. Thank you.
And clarie, I agree, what a comeback. This makes me confident that they can go into worlds and really enjoy it. That is what I wish for them more than anything.
and thank you to Fort, marikat, julianne, and everyone else who provided links.
Hehe - I don't want to be hateful, but I can't help but notice that we're 10 threads ahead of the Davis and White ubers.
Maybe we should leave all that behind in the old thread and keep the road home all about V&M.
And in the spirit of Diddy maybe the next thread, if the timing is right, should be titled "Back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong"
First LL, now Diddy---I love this thread so much!
I finally had the chance to watch their FD without having my mind blown by the stop, and I think it was a really superb performance. They're skating closer together than before, their lines match better, the speed is improved, the characterization is better.... it's just too bad they had that injury. Now if they focus on those step sequences and take care of their health, they can have a great performance at Worlds.
Exactly! It was going so well until the spin ended. Maybe that's where she started cramping?
just a thought--and not sure if it has been brought up before--but would it be a possibility that the judges have not been scoring Carmen as high as we thought they should to send a message to teams not to do that kind of FD for the olympics? FDs with overtly sexual tones/tension? that the OIC would like the figureskating programs would be as GP as possible? not saying that Carmen is porno as some of the haters would describe it, but in an olympic year when you have more people than usual watching the games, people that are largely uninitiated to FS including impressionable kids, that kind of program might be a little too overwhelming to explain to the public with.
I wouldn't put it past them, but I naively hope that we're at an age where people can feel free to put out the programs that they want. I think there's more talk about Carmen being sexual than it actually being sexual.
I sometimes feel as though we're significantly regressing in 2013!
there are too many of us
I just watched the medal ceremony and it was so sad, Tessa looked like she was barely keeping it together. And they couldn't wait to get off the ice. I was going to say I hoped they never did 4CC again, then I realized this was probably their last one anyways. Sigh…((((Tessa))))
I agree.
It also keeps occuring to me how many new fans have began following icedance beginning with the Vancouver Olympic season.
Carmen is not the first program that show a little sexiness and sensuality. If some of those people think that Carmen is "porn" then it's a good thing they haven't seen some of the past programs.
Even a program like B&S's "First Kiss" SP for the 01/02 season began with them very close to one another, lips practically touching. And don't let those people see the lifts with the male partners arm between his partners legs as he supports her with hand resting on her stomach in a rotational lift. The ultimate would be A&P's "Man in the Iron Mask" FD. Gwendal actually lifts Marina by the crotch, not just her upper thigh.
Scandalous I tell you!
I'm very happy to read that V&M aren't down and out and have quickly regrouped and plan on taking care of Tessa in preparation for Worlds. I'm also happy to read how well they skated for their exhibtion performance.
ziliam, I've been thinking as well about the judges not wanting another FD like Carmen. However, I wasn't thinking that it was because it was too sexy but rather this quad the judges don't seem to appreciate (well not fully) the type of program Carmen is. The perfect mix of artistry/creativity with crazy difficult elements and connecting moves.
I am very glad that V&M has given us Carmen (it will be one of the all time great icedance programs) but I do see team V&M presenting a different type of program next season. I think the idea to use Romeo and Juliet is a good one. Following with the type of music D&W choose that the crowds and judges more importantly have responded to, Romeo and Juliet would be perfect. Or perhaps something similar in feel without being another couple in love piece. V&M keep getting slammed for always doing the being in love thing (which is not true) and they have wanted to show they can skate to many different rhythms so I wonder if they might go that route.
It's really too bad that in icedance, reusing programs (even re-worked versions) is a no no. Hip-Hip, Chin Chin would be a great program to get the crowds going with the expression and technicall difficulty. Even though it was skated just once all the way through it was getting positive comment.
Perhaps Tessa and Scott should return to something more dancey? Not a folk dance though. Or maybe a Blues or Jazz piece? I don't know, it seems the music has to be just right to begin with even before the choreography is created. Not many seem to appreciate sophisticated and/or subtle. Sorry about the brainstorming. LOL
I wouldn't go this far… for the simple reason that, if you notice, kids are not the naif angelic creatures that adults want to picture to themselves ( from my blurry childhood memories and experience with kids, I can say that sex is already a subject matter of their conversations, obviously when adult ears are not around ( there is a lot of naughtiness in the tone of these – often funny – conversations. This shouldn't shock because even at such tender age they grasp instinctively what "the mistery of their birth" is all about (and let's not forget the notorious Aedipus complex toward the mother). after all, the complete awakening of sexual impulses happen quite soon in life. So it's not that they talk about it because they're exposed to the "evil television" or movies. Certain scenes seen on the screen are not that traumatic, they mostly make them (mischievously) laugh. The same goes with death, or even violence. It's something they can understand because, being very sensitive to the surrounding world, they are much more aware of the miseries of life than adults think. Disney created only happy-ending cartoon movies, but it's wrong, because kids are well aware of things like failure or death. Kids, if I may say, should be much, much more protected from real life miseries, which come from their parents' unsensitive behaviour, and/or discrimination in schools, etc etc. Yes, we tend to accuse movies or TV of showing inappropriate things, without seeing that the real tragedies happen in everyday life, and those are the real sources of traumas .
Back on topic. Generally speaking, I think most judges are more focused on scoring the technical elements (including transitions, whether they are "creative" or not) rather than expressing their personal tastes through marks. Judges are different at every competition, so I doubt they all think the same about a certain program. Sometimes, the reason why skaters are under-marked is much less romantic than that (
I am mourning the loss of the facebook group at a time like this... I did not look often, but during a big event those girls had a crazy knack for finding obscure pictures and references. Anyone find anything good on "tumblr" or "instagram" or all those other sites I am too old to understand!
Disny is very bad for childrens All this happy storiss make weak men and woman. Child should learn all lesson of life with skating or watch reality program because it is realty
Scott and Zijun Li
I am really liking this title -- moreso than the other that was bandied about because I too felt the other had some negative connotations. Road to home soooooooooo fits, I think, because that is precisely where they are headed in their next comp -- HOME!
Sorry, but this link doesnt work for me
Scott http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...=a.24820777269.30041.618167269&type=1&theater
Look like he played in darts
Hope Tessa were at banquete too.
Both Pani and martyross links doesn't work for me!
Thank you both for good words! I'm too very glad to join this thread, because in my country I feel kinda lonely - there aren't many ice dance and especially T/S fans.
Hope to keep posting and loving Tessa & Scott even more!
sorry guys - here's the post with photos of the banquet, from Yuna Forum.
Thank you a lot!
I understand you. Not a lot off FS fans in my country. Happy to have friends from Russia, who love FS.
wheres tessa?
You could see her back on Scott-Zijun Li photo near to Balde
Thanks! Scott's hair looks kinda interesting...
That's Maia Shibutani.
O, yes. Sorry.
Exibition practice photos from GPF. All skaters look so happy
I had my 7 yr. old daughter (who is a competitive skater) with me at Canadian Nationals last month. This child is very perceptive for her age, and she talks! I fielded endless questions at the end of programs about why skaters were moving "snakey" and what "Hoochie Coochie" means (Kaetlyn Osmond's program) and whether costumes covered up things that should be covered up etc. etc. etc.
V & M's Carmen is introduced - (Tessa's dress was approved of, but DD wasn't sure about the tights...) and I am wondering with slight trepidation what the questions/ comments will be. I didn't need to worry - the skating mesmerized her and rendered her totally silent for the duration. She was fascinated by it, and talking to her afterwards she understood that Tessa encouraged Scott, and they were in love (holding each other tightly, body to body) and then Tessa changed her mind and decided to be mean to Scott and push him away and that wasn't nice.
What my 7 yr. old didn't remark on was things like whose hands were where, and whether they were on clothing or under clothing. She registered the story, but the details that we notice as adults and comment on just didn't register. She doesn't understand what they represent and therefore she didn't notice them I think. I presume that it is similar to when she doesn't register innuendo in conversation....
For me, this makes a piece like V & M's Carmen art (conveying an idea that works on many levels, including sexual for those who understand what they are seeing). In contrast, many other programs which, as adults we watch without batting an eye-lid, are more problematic for kids to watch as the sexual-lite stuff is tacked on to the technical content for effect, rather than being an integral part of the piece. It doesn't make sense to young observers, because it isn't integral to a story/ idea, so they notice it and comment.
you should tell your daughter that it was actually scott's character being meant to tessa's character
tessa is the fiercest carmen even when she's skating in pain
Thank you for telling us about your personal experience Good for your daughter to see "live" such amazing skaters, like Tessa-Scott and Patrick.
When I was younger I had a Soft Cell album I loved. I remember driving out of town with my aunt and uncle. We were going to a cabin and I'd be the big cousin taking care of my younger cousins so I got to pick the music on the drive and stuck in the tape I made of Soft Cell. I remember at one point in the song the two of them look at each other and cringe. I just assume they were two old to appreciate good music It was years later that a light bulb went off and I realized the sound that made them cringe was quite explicit. I knew the music was edgy, seedy, but I didnt have the experience to recognize that what I was hearing was a guy ejaculating. The cringe between them was obviously their discomfort that we were hearing what they were hearing. But we didn't. It's the same with Carmen. Any art really. There are layers to everything and we discover those layers when we are able to understand them.
I´m really tempted to do Nationals next year. Skate Canada timing works better with my schedule but I think Nationals is when V&M, Chan and the others will be near their peak.
Yes, thats very mportant. Its a big difference between to see skates at first GP event and WCh.
I feel so lucky i saw V-M two time this season. lot off favorite skaters i didnt saw even 1 time "live".
But in Nice they were flying above the ice. Its was amazing.

NewsChannel 11 has confirmed that a state health inspector visited Lorenzo Elementary School last Wednesday morning after someone complained to them about mold growing inside the school.
Superintendent Dick VanHoose told NewsChannel 11 that he was not at the school while the state was inspecting, but did say he talked to the inspector on the phone.
VanHoose commented on the inspector's visit by saying, "basically, he felt we were on top of things by hiring a contractor to help us get things fixed."
Two months ago, a parent came to us about how bad the elementary school smelled and she also told us some students were getting sick. She didn't feel like school administrators were giving her a straight answer about the mold.
NewsChannel 11 got the answers for her through swab samples from inside the school. We sent them to a lab in Arizona where one of the samples confirmed toxic mold was growing on the wall inside a stairwell that is used by children every day on their way to lunch.
The school also hired its own air quality specialist just 13 days after we did our testing. That report revealed toxic mold spores were floating in the air.
The school is trying to find a contractor who can help them fix the water leaks that have caused some of these problems. VanHoose did not give a guarantee, but says he hopes he can fix all the problems while the students are on holiday break.
In the meantime, we're still working on getting our hands on the state's report. A spokesman for the Department of State Health Services says they plan to review the report Friday and give it to us. We will share it with you as soon as we get it.
Lorenzo School Officials Respond to Mold Investigation
A NewsChannel 11 Investigation discovered toxic mold growing inside one area elementary school. But what are school administrators doing to fix the problem? Investigator Cecelia Jones found out.
Toxic Mold Discovered Inside Area Elementary School
What if your child's school could be making them sick? You would expect administrators to fix the problem, right? A NewsChannel 11 Investigation reveals high levels of a toxic mold growing inside one elementary school. Investigator Cecelia Jones spent two months working on this story.

I had the good fortune to meet a new vendor at Saturday Market a couple weeks ago. Trent at Rhythmic Metal makes some sweet buckles, and other metal art. He's got some bike themed ones, buckles made entirely of chain and cogs, and some other neat looking designs. Check out his Etsy shop or find him at the Saturday Market.
Our stuff works together well, and we've been lucky enough to set up next to each other at the market a couple times. The sum is greater than the parts!

On the most deadly day in Washington since Sept. 11, 2001, with the capital reeling over the sadly familiar scene of a mass shooting by a madman, the chief executive stepped to the microphones and captured the heartbreak.
It wasn't the chief executive of the nation. It was Dr. Janis Orlowski, the chief operating officer of MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where three of those injured were being treated.
"There's something evil in our society that we as Americans have to work to try and eradicate," she said, her voice stoic but laced with emotion. On the day when she announced only hours earlier that she had submitted her resignation to take another job, she continued: "There's something wrong here when we have these multiple shootings, these multiple injuries. There is something wrong, and the only thing that I can say is we have to work together to get rid of it. I would like you to put my trauma center out of business. I really would. I would like to not be an expert on gunshots."
Calling it "a challenge to all of us," she concluded: "This is not America."
President Barack Obama also gave a speech Monday, talking at the White House while the drama unfolded at the supposedly secure Navy Yard nearby. He could have posted his original remarks on the White House website and replaced them with a cri de coeur on gun control, or comfort for the shaken city. The 12 who died were, after all, under his aegis as workers in a federal building.
But, jarringly, the president went ahead with his political attack, briefly addressing the slaughter before moving on to jab Republicans over the corporate tax rate and resistance to Obamacare.
Just as with the address to the nation on Syria last week, the president went ahead with a speech overtaken by events. It was out of joint, given that the Senate was put into lockdown and the Washington Nationals delayed a night game against the Atlanta Braves, noting on its website, "Postponed: Tragedy."

The trial regarding Activision's dismissal of Infinity Ward founders Jason West and Vince Zampella is still scheduled to go ahead on May 29, but the Call of Duty Publisher has reportedly settled out of court on $400 million claim it had made against Electronic Arts and their alledged collusion in the process.
Activision had accused EA of plotting with the IW developers to lure them away while their Call of Duty contracts were still active. West and Zampella have since gone on to found the new studio Respawn Entertainment, whose first yet-to-be-announced game is to be published under the EA Partners label.
According to Bloomberg, a statement from an Activision Lawyer after a Los Angeles Superior court hearing today, was simply that "Activision and Electronic Arts have decided to put this matter behind them".

Summary of cuts at Devon & Somerset Fire Service
Cuts approved today by the Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Authority
- In Plymouth, relocate one fire engine and change the crewing of three out of seven fire engines in the city to be taken over by retained firefighters. One engine would be moved from Camels head to Crownhill and full time crews would be replaced on engines at Plympton and Plymstock.
- On-call staff would take over roles on Plymouth`s aerial platform
- In Taunton, the second of the three fire engines would be crewed by retained firefighters.
- In Torquay the second engine would be crewed by retained firefighters.
- Ilfracombe fire station would be manned by retained firefighters only.
However the fire authority agreed to invest nearly £500,000 in fire prevention schemes.
The Chief Fire officer Lee Howell said no-one in his position should have to face such large cuts but it was the only option given the Government's reduction in funding.
He hopes there will be no compulsory redundancies and that the proposals won't adversely affect response times. Torquay, for example, has neighbouring stations it can rely on to help when serious fires occur.

Designer Shoes You'll Love from Jack Rogers
Read the history of our timeless shoes.
Our classic designer shoes were first made for First Lady Jackie Kennedy. What began as inspiration became tradition, and over the past 50 years our treasured Navajo sandals have adorned sun-kissed feet around the world. Navajo loyalists sport their sandals in resort towns such as Palm Beach, the Hamptons and Nantucket, as well as other warm weather locales worldwide.
The sandals add zest to any outfit, whether an everyday look or a cocktail party stunner. Tweens and teenage girls don their Navajos as a warm weather crutch. In 2008, Jack Rogers expanded its full line of sandals into a year-round line of designer shoes.
Navajo loyalists can now sport their beloved "Jacks" all year with core items including ballet flats, boots and rotating fashion items. Additionally, the Navajo line has expanded into mid and hi-wedge espadrilles.
In the tradition of our all-American idol Jackie O, Navajo sandals continue to be made in the USA.

Which new features do you want the most?
I would love the option to say how much of a tea I have in my cupboard. I don't like adding 'to cupboard' when I only have a serving, but if there was an option to say how much that would be awesome. Especially useful for trading purposes.
Can we have an automatic update to our social networks as an option. Other rating sites I use (for example: Goodreads) let me share reviews with my linked social network accounts with one click.
Option for cupboard as to sizes like sample or oz/gr weight etc.
I want an Android App so I can use this on my tablet and smartphhone when I'm out and about. I would also like to post my teas to Google+ the same way it does to Facebook. I suppose there should be one for apple people too :)
An option to sort our cupboards into sections or "shelves" so we could group our teas by types or brands that we have a lot of.
would love to see the date on reviews…. sometimes brews change, and it would be nice to see when the review was posted.
iPad/iPhone app would be great!
Steepster is actually in the process of developing an iphone app. As far as I know, they are in the testing phase right now.
ahh than there is the wait period between the istuff until it is allowed to go to android. Oh well it will be awesome and worth the wait!
It would be nice to be able to see the ratings of tea come up when you search for them instead of having to click on the actual page for the tea…. If you put the rating stars below the tea every time, we could decide which to click on based on rating…. Very helpful to your end user.
-Some sort of number indication on the rating slider; it bothers me when the rating comes up higher or lower than I meant it to be because I was guessing.
-A way to sort the tea cupboard/tasting notes/shopping list by type of tea. It would be nice to be able to compare all the teas of one type that I've tried, own, or want.
-Sizes in the cupboard would also be great.
-A switch on tea pages that indicates whether the tea is currently being sold! It's sad to find one that looks great and then realize it's no longer available.

Big time bad news. RT @panthers: CB Chris Gamble (shoulder) did not practice today and is listed as out for Sunday's game vs. Dallas.— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) October 19, 2012
So per Panthers.com here is the Panthers starting CBs against the Cowboys:
Notes: Gamble, Beason could miss Dallas game
Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn will start opposite Josh Norman in the base defense if Gamble can't play. In nickel situations, Munnerlyn will slide to the slot and cornerback Josh Thomas will man the outside.
Rivera touted Munnerlyn's steady play at nickel thus far and was pleased with how he and Thomas performed when needed against the Seahawks. "I liked their physicality," Rivera said. "(Thomas) played in 21 plays and graded out as 20 out of 21 positive. He did some nice things. It's a good challenge, and he got all the reps that he needed today."
Interestingly Thomas was drafted by the Cowboys in the 5th round of last year's draft giving us two 5th rounders and a 7th rounded at CB this weekend. It's nice to get that kind of production from these players but might also indicate a lack of talent at the position. It's time for these guys to step up.
LB Jon Beason missed practice again and is very doubtful though not ruled out yet. Beason has a shot at healing and getting back on the field this season. Gamble on the other hand is looking like he will not.
We have other injury news on non-starters, starting with Special teams:
Notes: Onatolu to IR; Gettis practices
Onatolu, a linebacker signed in the offseason to help improve special teams, will be sidelined by a torn triceps muscle. He played in four games, recording three special teams tackles.
We also lost OG Mike Pollack to IR too:
When Gamble couldn't play against Seattle and the Panthers found themselves with an empty spot on their 53-man roster after placing guard Mike Pollack on injured reserve, cornerback Ron Parker was thrust into action at the last minute.
The Panthers had already re-signed CB Ron Parker to the PS so they just called him up. He'll serve as the 4th CB until Gamble returns, if he returns.

A 41-year-old Napa man is facing 13 counts of felony burglary he allegedly committed while a registered sex offender on probation, wearing a GPS tracking device on his ankle, according to Napa County Sheriff's Capt. Leroy Anderson.
Gregory Michael Evans was arrested Nov. 14, after he voluntary went to the sheriff's office to be interviewed by detectives in connection with a string of burglaries at 13 local wineries, Anderson said.
"He would go into a winery and claim he had been treated very poorly by the staff during a previous visit and demand to be compensated," Anderson said.
"He was usually wearing a stethoscope around his neck and said he was a local, very prominent, either a surgeon or veterinarian with many Napa Valley friends in high places."
Evans would allegedly bully and threaten management if he wasn't compensated for the bad service, saying he would "spread the bad word" to his friends, Anderson said.
"He's a big guy — 6'4", and can be very intimidating," Anderson said.
"Because most of the wineries want to give the best customer service and just to avoid him (Evans) making a huge scene at the winery, they would refund him cash between $110 to $150 and often throw in a bottle of wine."
Evans's scheme began to unravel Oct. 17, when a worker at one of the wineries he had hit decided to do a little detective work.
"The thing about this is that Evans used his real name at the wineries. The winery worker Googled Evans' name on the internet and found he was a registered sex offender," Anderson said.
"She showed his picture to her co-workers to see if Evans had visited the winery on the day he claimed he was treated badly. All of the workers said they had never seen the guy at the winery."
The wineries have their own email scam alert system, Anderson said. "When other wineries read the email, they recognized Evans and some had also had been victims of the scam."
The sheriff's office was notified of the scam and by having Evans's name and using the GPS tracking device, they were able to find out where he was on those days of the alleged burglaries.
Investigators were able to track Evans down and arrange for him to come to the sheriff's department for an interview, Anderson said.
"At first he played dumb about knowing anything about the burglaries, but after detectives were able to show him they knew he was at the wineries on the alleged days of the burglaries, and staff identified him from the sex registrant photo, he admitted to the crimes," Anderson said.
Anderson estimates Evans received between $1,550 to $2,000 in cash and merchandise.
"He also tried the same routine at Target and they told him to get out of the store," Anderson said.
Evans was arrested on suspicion of 13 counts of burglary by fraud and booked into the Napa County jail.
Anderson said the sheriff's department suspects there could be additional victims.
