It was a terrifying experience for one Texas couple who heard a strange voice coming from their 2-year-old daughter's room.
Marc and Lauren Gilbert went into their daughter Allyson's room to discover the voices they were hearing were coming from the baby monitor.
Marc pulled the plug immediately and began doing research.
He believes someone hacked his router as well as the camera, saying he could see the camera move on them.
Now he wants to warn other parents about the danger.
"As a father, I'm supposed to protect her against people like this. And so it's a little embarrassing to say the least but it's not going to happen again," said Marc. "Allyson was born deaf, so she has cochlear implants, thankfully we had them off slept right through it."
The Gilberts say they will probably get rid of the hacked device.

Photos and words by Bowerbird Photography
The surrealists employed a method of drawing called the exquisite corpse, where an artist would create an image on a section of paper, fold it back to conceal the image, and then pass on the paper for another artist's contribution. The beautiful monstrosity wasn't revealed until everyone was finished and the paper unfolded.
Walking down South Congress Street during SXSW 2013 yesterday felt like the musical version of an exquisite corpse. Nearly every block had its own outdoor stage, with an alternative country performance across the street from a hard rock band, indie pop music next to honky-tonk, and street musicians in between. It was sonic mayhem.
While some find it enjoyable to be able to sing along along to a familiar band, there is unequaled pleasure and pride in "discovering" a new one – the more obscure, the better. We left our frustratingly fathomless festival handbook at the hotel, letting fortune be our guide, and made for S. Congress. The street is aptly named because it seems that everything comes together there, and has the gentrified, bohemian feel of Valencia Street, with vintage shops, craft fairs, and a good ice cream parlor.
While musicians are turned away at larger venues downtown, it's virtually open mike in SoCo. That's not to imply that the music is worse. On the contrary. It is here that we stumbled upon a standout band called Residual Kid, from Austin, with Max Redman (12-years-old), Ben Redman (14), and Deven Ivy (14). Teen/tween angst doesn't get better than this.
At the Music by the Slice stage, Telekinesis lead singer Michael Lerner sat front and center, singing over the cymbals of his drumset to hipsters holding pizzas. Young Galaxy, from Canada, also performed, it with a '80s synth-heavy sound, snappy beats, and open-throated vocals.
Moseying down to the St. Vincent De Paul parking lot, Canadian country music band Corb Lund played to a crowd lounging on overstuffed sofas, reminiscent of an impromptu porch concert. Singing straight country with a storytelling bent, he twanged about speeding on the highway with a foot "heavy with redemption" and a "bible on the dash."
Down another block, adorable duo, Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison, got folks dancing at the South by San Jose stage with romantic country ballads.
While the music may be eclectic, the food is less so, despite the ubiquity of food trucks. While most restaurants serve any combination of Tex Mex (fried burrito anyone?) and BBQ (Austin's staple food is shredded pork in a white bun), it is possible to find some fresh greens. At the non-profit, Casa de Luz, we sat down to a hippie-cafeteria style prix fixe lunch, piled high with kale and homemade kraut.
But the siren smell of smoked meats is too alluring, and we couldn't help but splurge on an artery-clogging, three meat BBQ sandwich from the food truck, La Barbecue. Delicious. There was also an offshoot show behind the BBQ parking lot, called the SX704 Showcase, with hip-hop performances by SL Jones from Atlanta, and Rich Kidd from Toronto.
As we walked over the Congress Avenue Bridge in the evening, the famous bats started to leave their hiding places beneath, swarming in search of their sunset meal. They made thousands of shotgun holes in the sky, and moved in tandem like a starling murmuration, adding just one more sight to the wonderful weirdness this town has to offer.
Navigating the wild landscape of music, parties, and food at SXSW is exhausting, but in the end, we're rewarded with great memories. And it's a good thing we took photos too, because our eardrums are shot.
Great that the SFBG is covering SXSW. Nice write-up and photos too.
Way before SXSW, I remember lounging on a lawn chair on the roof of a shack, drinking Shiner Bock long necks at Liberty Lunch, mesmerized at watching waves and waves bats fly off into the sunset.

Mike Shaw has inside track to start
Hey. A running back update! This is what a lot of people suspected would eventually pan out, but the fact that it was taking so long made a lot of us nervous. Shaw really does have the ability to be that every down back in 2011. The question, as always, is whether he can stay healthy.

The 3 Fives
Five Keys to Safer Food, Five Keys to a Healthy Diet, Five Keys to Appropriate Physical activity
From the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the 2010 FIFA World Cup
The WHO 3 Fives concept is a unique product, initially tailor-made for major sporting events. The particular combination of food safety, nutrition and physical activity has a special resonance in combination with athletes, but also has a general appeal because it works for all people all over the world. Launched in China on the occasion of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 3 Fives have now been adopted by the Department of Health of South Africa as part of a health promotion campaign to enhance public awareness about the key contribution of safe and nutritious food and physical activity to healthy lifestyles.
The 3 Fives were jointly developed by the WHO Departments of Food Safety and Zoonoses, Nutrition for Health and Development and Chronic Diseases and Health Promotion.
For further information, please contact Françoise Fontannaz at: email@example.com

Monica Hernandez / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS - Heavy wind and rain pounded into tents set up along the Endymion route Saturday afternoon, pushing the parade back over an hour. But die-hard revelers continued to stake out their spot and make the most of it. Some made a make shift "Slip 'n' Slide" out of a blue tarp. Other played soccer on the neutral ground or danced beneath porches.
Some huddled together beneath lowered tents.
"We got family, we got shelter, we got food, we [are] good," said Lynn Cochran, of Gonzales.
And then came the parade that thousands braved the weather for. With 2,500 members and massive floats, revelers said they didn't mind the spotty showers as as the parade began.
"I got my survival kit and my poncho and my drink. I'm good, I'm good, this is wonderful. I've got beads, this is my first one, my very first Mardi Gras catch, so I'm very excited about that," said Angela Martinez, from Houston, pointing to her first set of beads.
"We rode our bikes, we got soaked, threw our stuff in the drier, and now we're here," said Sarah Hubley, of Mid-City.
Mid-City neighbors said they're relieved the area's only parade rolled despite the rain. Last year, wet weather pushed the event back to Sunday, when it rolled Uptown behind Bacchus.
"Endymion's the best parade of the season and that's why I'm out here in the freezing weather," said Tricia Schiro, of Metairie.
And so, thousands lined the Mid-City cheering, catching throws, and enjoying the spirit of carnival.
"The state of Louisiana has a lot to offer, happy Mardi Gras, nothing but fun," said Walter Falls, of New Orleans.

Cancer Biology Retreat 2011 by Richmond CXC Cancer Research Lab - almost 3 years ago
"I bought each member of my lab a t-shirt to wear to the annual Vanderbilt University Cancer Biology research retreat as their early holiday gift. We were the hit of the retreat, being the only lab in custom t-shirts that were even a perfect color match to our university colors! Our lab studies unique, cancer-related, proteins called CXC chemokines, so the cXc Rated design was a natural. It was a lot of fun and much -appreciated by all."

21-year old Ashley Keller has been missing since the 4th of July.
The search for Keller is active and ongoing."We love her very much. I just want her back safe," says Ashley Keller's mother Kim. "Last time I saw her was Thursday, July 4 around 12:30. She kissed me and hugged me and told me she loved me and was going to lunch."
Ashley graduated from Central Bucks South and is going to Bucks County Community College in Perkasie. She grooms dogs and nannies to put herself through school. Ashley was scheduled to work at the Polished Pup in Horsham on Saturday, June 6th, but never showed up to work. Her mom says it is totally out of character for her to just pick up and leave, plus her car is at home.
"She's one of my best friends and she's just close with her daddy," says Keller. "We probably average five to ten connections a day, whether it was a text or a phone call."
Ashley's bank accounts are untouched, but she did make one attempt to call her mom
"On Sunday, she called," recalls Keller. "It was a very quick phone call, 20 or 30 seconds, just told me she loved me and that it wasn't safe to talk. The phone call got cut off..."
Warminster police are working with the FBI and the Bucks County District Attorney's Office. They believe she may be with a man wanted for other crimes.
"Our mission here is to make sure of her safe return and that her parents have peace of mind regarding where their daughter is." says Chief Jim Donnelly.
Warminster police believe there is a chance that Ashley may not be in Pennsylvania. Both Ashley's family and the police acknowledge that the social media campaign to help find her is helpful. They currently use the hashtag #findashley.
Ashley is 5'1'', 130 pounds. If you have any information about where she might be, contact the Warminster Township police or call 911.

This DVD maybe is not unknow to Pantera fans. It reunites all 3 home video releases from the Texas band (Cowboys From Hell – The Video; Pantera – Vulgar Video and 3). This was also released in the past, and this re-issue was made available just after Dime's tragedy. The difference between the older and the new versions is that the the new version has chpater stops and 5.1 sound.
Technically this DVD is very good, the sound is clean, although that's not much room for the 5.1 mix. The image is very good on the video clips and live footage, and is grainy on the amateur footage, as expected.
The content of the DVD is nearly perfect. All Pantera's videos, live footage from Russian Monsters of Rock, interviews, behind the stage footage and more.
Highly recommended to metal fans.

The Fades 1.06 ReviewA tv review article by: Kelvin Green, Paul Brian McCoy
A town left deserted. An Angelic on the edge of desperation. A Fade on the cusp of victory. And a reluctant 17 year old boy with visions of the apocalypse - it all comes down to this final showdown. People will die. Ash will fall. It is inevitable.
The Fades aired Wednesday nights at 9:00PM on BBC Three and now airs Saturdays at 9:00 on BBC America.
Kelvin Green: I think I want to start with what I didn't like about the finale of The Fades.
Paul Brian McCoy: Okay, let's hear it.
Kelvin: Well, Mark's plot went absolutely nowhere, as expected. Paul's Mum and Mac's Dad disappeared four-fifths of the way through, and Jay's sacrifice was rather meaningless since she had about six lines of script in the whole series.
Other than that, I thought it was great.
Paul: Ha! And goodnight, folks!
Kelvin: Shortest review ever.
Paul: I agree with every point, although I was a little shocked that Jay was killed. Well, by how she was killed, rather.
Kelvin: I sort of knew it was coming. They had to get Paul into action, and they'd be idiotic to kill off Mac. So it had to be Jay or Paul's mother. Still, those were the only elements that didn't work for me. Otherwise I thought it was an effective finale.
Paul: I have to admit, it was only in retrospect that I was a little bothered with Jay's sacrifice or with the parents dropping out of the picture. But Mark's plot just fizzled.
Kelvin: Yes, it really didn't have anything to do with anything. It seemed to be there only to get Sarah to do certain things, but they could have figured out a way to do those without Mark.
Paul: It's almost like his story was included to appeal to the "adults" watching in the same way we talked about last week with kids being added to broaden the appeal.
Kelvin: Interesting point. You could be right. He's the only sympathetic adult male in the show. Neil's mental, Mac's father is a bit of a caricature and everyone else is a child.
Or an undead murderer.
Paul: Something for the single dads to latch onto.
Kelvin: Or the single mums to ogle.
Paul: Regardless, his story was a dead-end. I was really expecting him to be brought into the fold before everything was said and done.
Oh well.
Kelvin: Yes, he just hovered at the edges in his own little story loops.
Paul: They should have saved those for some sort of online series of mini-episodes.
Kelvin: I'm not sure it was compelling enough for that, even. Better off dropping him entirely, I would have thought.
Paul: Yeah, you're right.
Kelvin: Given our discussions last time about how they'd end the series, what did you think of the way they did it?
Paul: I loved that it zigged when I thought it was going to zag. I wasn't expecting Paul to actually reopen ascension. Or for Neil's paranoid fears to actually be true.
Kelvin: Yes, I didn't expect Neil's doom-laden prophecies to be true, either. I thought it was desperate ill-informed superstition, but no.
Paul: When the skies started turning red, I just started giggling to myself a little.
Kelvin: I did too. I half expected Green Lantern to show up.
Paul: That's two weeks in a row I was literally on the edge of my seat during the final quarter of the show.
Kelvin: I must admit I was laughing like an idiot at certain parts, because they were so ballsy, like when Paul jumps off the balcony and then... WINGS! LASERS!
Paul: Yes!
Kelvin: As we were saying the other week, it makes most genre TV shows look boring. Can you imagine Supernatural breaking out the Holy Lasers? It's almost anime-ish.
Paul: Not Holy Lasers, but Supernatural can go some crazy places. It hasn't really done that this season, so far, but...
Seasons 3-6 really worked the whole Apocalypse angle and got a lot of good stuff out of it.
Kelvin: I suppose it was a bad example. I've only seen a few episodes, but I was touching back to what we were saying a couple of weeks ago.
Paul: But The Fades is easily in the upper ranks of TV Horror Adventure after just these six episodes.
Kelvin: Yes, it's about the best way I could imagine ending a series. Deal with the big threat, but make it so that it leads into another one, but without the silliness of an arbitrary cliffhanger.
Paul: Exactly! It makes me wish the season was longer, so they could have drawn out the conflict a little.
I was afraid getting rid of all the Fades would lead to something kind of bland, or the introduction of another type of monster, or who knows what. But instead, we get a ratcheting up of the danger level. Or so it seems.
Kelvin: Yes, my thought is that Paul's actions have upset the celestial bureaucracy in some way and the villains next time will be angels of some sort.
Maybe not, but it's great that it's not going to be more of the same.
Paul: True Angelics.
Kelvin: Yes indeed. "You don't mess with Ascension."
Paul: Hopefully that means that Ascension wasn't just arbitrarily closed off. That there was a reason behind it that hopefully we'll delve into next season.
Kelvin: Although, is Neil dead? That wasn't clear to me.
Paul: I don't know. He was in bad shape.
Kelvin: He didn't Ascend, but both Sarah and John said he was dying.
Paul: Well, he wasn't dead as it ended, so there's hope for bringing him back.
Kelvin: Well, he was either alive or an un-Ascended Fade. Either way, Mr. Mental should be around next series.
If there is one.
Paul: STOP SAYING THAT!
Actually, there's a Facebook page devoted to bringing The Fades back for another season. Go here to show your support!
Kelvin: Oh good!
What a downbeat ending it'll be if it doesn't come back!
Paul: Ha!
Kelvin: Apocalyptic red skies and a wounded hero bawling his eyes out.
Paul: Did I ever tell you about how the crappy comic shop I was going to when Preacher ended didn't hold the last issue for me because the guy who ran the shop didn't seem to know there was one more issue? So I thought Issue 65 was the end.
You know, the one where everybody dies and it's horrible and depressing?
Kelvin: Oh wow.
Paul: It wasn't until I got the trades that I discovered there was another issue that resolved things much better.
Kelvin: Well, that was a pleasant surprise, I suppose!
Paul: I was surprised, to say the least. I thought that had been the worst, most nihilistic ending I'd ever read.
Kelvin: So were you going around talking about the depressing ending, and all your friends were looking at you oddly and wondering what was wrong with you?
Paul: Not too much. I was out of state in grad school and didn't know anybody else who read comics. It was before discovering Comics Bulletin.
I was alone in the wilderness.
Kelvin: "Jeez, what's so depressing about the hero getting the girl and riding off into the sunset? Weirdo."
Oddly enough, I have the last issue, even though I collected the series in trade. Maybe I have your last issue.
Paul: Once I found out about it, I tracked down a copy.
Just to satisfy that completionist urge.
Kelvin: I can't imagine what it would be like to just stop there, with everyone dead. Crikey. Your comic shop guy was a git.
Paul: Yes, he was. He was out of business when I went back for exams a year later.
Kelvin: Ha!
Still, if The Fades does end here, at least Mac got a bit of a happy ending.
Paul: Yes, before the end of the world.
Poor Paul though.
A second season is going to be a bit odd, now that I think about it. No setting up normalcy or dealing with school or drama. We should jump right into Red Skies and Apocalypse.
Kelvin: Yes, it's a brave move. I like it though. I appreciate the willingness to throw everything out and start afresh.
Paul: I love it! I wish more shows had the willingness to take risks like that.
Kelvin: It makes me excited for the second series, because I don't know what to expect.
Paul: There's nothing quite as tedious as waiting around for things to kick off as the new season starts, when you know that it has to. Like the flatmates in Being Human acting like things are maybe going to be normal this year.
They're not!
Kelvin: Exactly!
There's a sense of movement, of change. Even if Paul, Anna and Mac decide to do nothing, they'll be doing it in a weird post-apocalyptic landscape, and that's interesting in itself.
Paul: Yes! Brilliant!
Kelvin: I don't recall the last series I saw where they changed everything like they have done here.
Paul: Battlestar Galactica tried it with the jump forward in time, but it was really a way of providing a breather before restarting the traditional chase again.
Kelvin: Yes, and Being Human went through the motions with the end of each series, only to bring it all back within the safe circle again.
Paul: Babylon 5 built up the story from season to season nicely. Does that count?
Kelvin: Oh that's a good example. I forget B5.
Paul: But that also had an ongoing plan.
Kelvin: I suppose you had an element of it in Doctor Who when they grounded the Third Doctor and changed the format of the show, but even that's not quite the same thing.
Paul: True, true. Farscape played around with it, but things usually got back to normal before too long. They were mostly traditional cliffhanger endings, I guess.
Kelvin: The difference here is that instead of going "I wonder what's going to happen to X or Y?" I'm instead thinking "I wonder what's going to happen?" which is far more exciting.
Paul: I agree.
Kelvin: It's a more open question, and I hope the writing will be up to it.
Paul: Usually a cliffhanger is just plot oriented. This seems to change the basic nature of the show.
Kelvin: Yes, that's what I'm fumbling around for.
Paul: Supernatural commented on that when the Apocalypse happened and nobody could really tell. Things were just as bad as they always were, with just a slight ramping up of the disasters and death.
Kelvin: That doesn't seem very effective an approach.
Paul: It was clever and budget conscious. Plus it worked well thematically. They aren't shy about making metatextual comments about their own show.
Kelvin: Oh okay, I really need to give that show another chance, but it's never grabbed me.
Paul: The first season is hard to get through. Once the boys start getting sent to hell and returning, things really begin to get more textured.
Kelvin: I've seen bits and pieces of it here and there, but nothing that's made me want to come back and watch the next episode. It may be something I have to start from the beginning.
Paul: Maybe.
So, anything else about The Fades finale you want to discuss?
Kelvin: What did you think of John in the end? He seemed to lack bite as an antagonist as the story came to a close, but I think that's what they were going for.
Paul: He really didn't end up being much of a threat did he? Sure, he ate people and couldn't be killed, but he didn't seem to do much.
If Paul hadn't been intent on NOT killing him, he wouldn't have been much of a challenge at all.
Kelvin: Yes, but I think that was deliberate. They went to some lengths to show him as becoming obsolete, with his followers wanting to break away and Sarah brushing him off almost as a non-entity.
I don't know if it was effective, but it was certainly interesting.
Paul: It was interesting, yes. But I'm afraid it made him more forgettable than anything. Neil seemed to be the real Big Bad here.
Kelvin: Yes, it's something that I'll keep an eye on in a repeat viewing.
I could have done with some more reaction from John over his power and importance slipping away, but that would have meant less Mark moaning about his life. Couldn't have that, could we?
Still, I think they got the point across.
Paul: Got to think of that broader audience! Get them watching!
Kelvin: Ha! Stubbly teachers! Everyone loves them!
Paul: I can almost hear someone saying "It needs a broader appeal. How about a sexy teacher?"
Kelvin: Ye gods yes. Mark and his plotline get one bullet.
Paul: "But I've got plans for making John more threatening and complex..."
"Sod that. Think of the single parents who have to watch this with their kids! Throw them a bone!"
Kelvin: That's probably not far from the truth.
Paul: "Okay, dammit. But he's going to be on the periphery and his story won't amount to anything. That'll show 'em!"
Kelvin: And who suffers? We do!
Oh well.
Paul: Made for bathroom and snack breaks, anyway. Or, it will on repeat viewings, since I was still holding out hope that it would add up to something.
Kelvin: I sort of hope Mark does turn up in the next series, as I'll miss talking about how useless he is. Perhaps we should talk about him anyway, even if he's not in it.
Paul: Make up his adventures on the road during the Apocalypse? At least he found love. That wouldn't try to murder him while they made whoopie.
Kelvin: I was so expecting her to have been turned.
Paul: That would have been perfect! "I'm glad you decided to come with me." Then she eats his face!
Kelvin: Yes!
It had an inevitability to it that alas was not to be. They clearly have plans for Mark. Or wanted to give him a happy ending.
Paul: I just don't know what to make of that now that it's all over.
Wow. This review has rambled all over the place, hasn't it?
Kelvin: A little bit, but we had lots to talk about. It was a good ending.
Paul: It was a very good ending. And hopes are high for whatever's to come.
Kelvin: Indeed. I can't wait for the second series, which is a bit of a problem, as there's likely to be quite a wait!
Paul: Yeah. That's something I've been trying not to think about.
Kelvin: This is the downside of the shorter series length. The longer wait between series.
Paul: The first season is supposed to air on BBC America in January, so maybe they'll be getting started around then? Fingers crossed.
Kelvin: Yes, it's done well here, so perhaps they're waiting to see what the US reception will be. I hope the Americans like it as much as I did.
Paul: I don't see how they can't. Luther's been successful over here, too. And Misfits. The Fades should be an easy sell.
Kelvin: It deserves to do well. So how do you score this final -- for now -- episode?
Paul: I have to go with . There were flaws, but the good more than made up for them. And the boldness of the ending helped make this something special.
Kelvin: I agree. for me too, for the same reasons. Such a bold and ballsy way to end a series.
Paul: Whether there's a second season or not.
Kelvin: Don't you start!
Paul: See what you've done!
Kelvin: Ha!

The 2013 War Eagle BEST Robotics Competition took place at Auburn University today, Oct. 19.
Students from 27 middle schools and high schools from our region entered the event, which has a different theme each year. This year's theme had to do with moving inventory in different stages using, of course, robotic machines designed by the students themselves. The higher the difficulty of movement, the higher the points earned.
"It's like a sporting event for geeks and nerds," says T.J. Nguyen, Technical Coordinator and Floor Manager for the event. "It's the most exciting thing I did in high school. I did it for four years."
Now in his tenth year participating, Nguyen has recently earned a degree in Engineering and says these BEST Robotics Competitions are what led him in that direction.
"My teacher always said that you're giving kids what they need in the context of what they want. So they're learning all this engineering, all this math, all this science, and they don't even realize they're doing it."
The full list of today's ranks for the 2013 War Eagle BEST Robotics Competition are as follows:
Robotics Rankings
10. A-2-Z Homeschool
11. Auburn Junior High School
12. Montgomery Catholic School
13. Prattville High School

The Bengals announced Monday that the team re-signed linebacker Rey Maualuga to a two-year deal, despite the fact that Maualuga has been tackling-intolerant for the past couple seasons. The deal pays him $6.5 million over the length of the contract (plus bonuses), which is somewhere in the range of $6.5 million too much. Below is a list of more productive things the organization could have done with that money.
- Donate the money to a charity.
- Donate the money to Bill Gates.
- Give Hamilton County a tax break by putting it toward the team's stadium deal.
- Throw it all on Black 17 at the roulette tables of the new Horseshoe Casino.
- Bequeath it to Pro Football Focus to fund improvements for what Marvin Lewis considers to be "some dumbass website that doesn't have any idea of what football is." (Shots fired!!!)
- Wire it to those Nigerian princes that are always hitting Mike Brown up for cash via email.
- Help pay off my student loans. (This one isn't a joke.)
- Fund some ridiculous Kickstarter campaign. (Give your face a hug!)
- Buy a ridiculous amount of the new Mountain Dew Kickstart—the orange flavor isn't bad.
- Go all Breaking Bad and pull a Heisenberg with the stacks (while screaming "I AM THE DANGER! I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!!!).
- Make sure Girl Meets World, the reboot of Boy Meets World, gets past the pilot stage and is picked up for a full season. And that it doesn't suck. We all need Topanga back in our lives.
- Treat. Yo. Self.
- Or, ya know, spend the cash elsewhere in free agency.

The Register-News
---- — MT. VERNON – Summer is a time when schools are cleaned and painted to prepare them for the next batch of students in the fall.
But two area grade schools, Ina and Rome, have special projects lined up this season that go beyond routine maintenance.
Ina Grade School will complete a $5,000 project to redo the flooring on the 15-by-40 foot stage in the gym and in the two rooms to each side of the stage.
The current flooring is in bad shape, said Monte Jo Clark, superintendent for Ina C.C.S.D. #8. The stage area doubles as a classroom for chorus and band students and often the children sit on the floor. This fact makes the flooring project all the more important, Clark said.
"The old flooring was ugly and stained," Clark said.
Funding for the stage work comes from a three-year grant from the Illinois Arts Council. This is the second year of the grant.
Last year's grant amount was $75,000, and the current year's grant is for $42,000. Next year, the school will receive $25,000.
"We are one of the few grade schools in the area that actually have a very strong art and music program," Clark said. "Drama and theater are really big here."
Aside from the stage project, the Arts Council grant has also been used to turn a classroom into an art lab and to purchase new projectors and software. Also, the funding has allowed the school to buy a new laminating system and poster printer, as well as interactive musical playground equipment.
Work will begin on the stage in mid-June and the project should be completed within a few days.
Also this summer, Ina Grade School has several safety improvements planned, including plumbing and electrical work. These projects come in the wake of a recent health life safety survey that was conducted.
Rome Grade School plans to replace the roof on its covered walkway between the district office and the school, said Superintendent Dwain Baldridge. Work is set to begin in late June, early July, and will take about a week to finish.
"It's been leaking when it rains for years," Baldridge said of the walkway. "It offers sheltered walking between the two buildings for kids and parents."
In addition, Rome Grade School is installing a new awning over the pre-k entrance to the facility. This will be more convenient for parents picking up their children, Baldridge said.
The Rome projects will cost a total of $6,000, which will be taken from the district's Building Fund.

Beautiful riding this weekend. Gearing up (wah-wah) for my first tri next Sunday and hurt-loving myself in the process. Made it through the mountains today – quite the accomplishment for this flatlander. While I had many moments where I didn't think I could take another tenth of a mile and my shoulders were up around my ears, I also had many moments (mostly on descents) of appreciating the lovely country around me and being thankful for my body and quads that got me up the hills. I have faith that I should be ready for the STP in July.
I also had the chance to see 3 bike-themed films last night as part of Athen's EcoFocus Film Festival. All 3 were quite good but Riding Bikes with the Dutch was the crowd and my favorite (despite some video-film transcoding issues in the form of tearing which was rather distracting). Resolve to use my bike for commuting as much as possible and gave me one more reason to get my tukus to Holland. Lest we forget, this bookstore is the first reason.
Speaking of bookspaces, on to the links…
This big kid is super inspired to snuggle up with a tome against this recycled book wall to cultivate my love of reading and writing. (via @brainkpicker) [Read more...]

POWAY (CBS 8/CNS) - Officials are investigating whether drugs or alcohol played a role in a fatal crash involving a fire engine and a car at a Poway intersection early Thursday morning.
The public-safety vehicle struck the Honda at Poway and Midland roads and pushed it into a roadside light pole about 4 a.m., according sheriff's officials.
The three people in the fire engine
were unhurt and came to the aid of the motorist and his passenger, Lt. Jeff Duckworth said.
A 19-year-old woman riding in the car died at the scene, Lt. Clayton Lisk said. She was identified by officials as Evelyn Jean Courtney of Poway.
Medics took the Honda's 44-year-old male driver to a hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
The occupants of the fire engine
told investigators they had entered the road crossing on a green light, with
their emergency flashers and siren activated.
An open alcohol container was found inside the Honda, sheriff's officials said.
The intersection remained closed for investigations and cleanup until shortly after 11 a.m., prompting a traffic alert for the heavily traveled area.

Keeping your children safe in school is always a priority for administrators and teachers and some of those safety drills at school can also be used at home.
"We could have a fire, we could have a tornado, we could have a stranger," said North Columbus Elementary School first grade teacher Karen Jones.
If one of these scenarios occurs, students and teachers have to be prepared. Stephanie Gutz, who also teaches first grade at North Columbus, explained, "We still have fire drills. We do bad weather drills for tornadoes and hurricanes, we go into the hall. And we have certain codes and certain spots in our classroom where we go."
Students have to practice their plan and know exactly what to do in case of an emergency. The first grade students at North Columbus Elementary School told us what they do.
For a fire Evan Mayotte said, "Whatever you're doing, stop, line up quietly, go out the door, and be quiet."
Carlie Almond said for a tornado, "You get on your knees and put your hands behind your head."
Marisa Bian added, "If we be quiet then we'll hear the principal say the storm stopped."
And for "Stranger Danger" Graham Seegar explained, "You go in there and lock the door to the classroom and that door and then you sit and wait."
If you'd like to try similar drills at home teachers suggest relating the activity to something the kids can remember. Gutz said, "We're acting like soldiers during the fire drill with hands at your side and eyes ahead. And we pretend we're little turtles in our shell when we get down."
And as always, Jones says practice makes perfect, "I actually walk them through it. Line up at the door, walk out the door, go to the exact spot they are supposed to walk to and we practice what they will actually do."
If a family wanted to do similar drills at home, the key is to have a plan in place for emergencies and make sure everyone in the family practices that plan.
