A product of the U.S. Census Bureau's Public Information Office
2013 Product Calendar — The Census Bureau has posted anticipated release dates for each regular and recurring statistical product expected to be released in 2013. The products are listed in the Census Bureau's online product calendar, which will be updated as needed throughout the year.
Enhancements to American FactFinder — On Jan. 29, the Census Bureau will release several new features in American FactFinder — the online data search program on census.gov — to help people find information more easily. These include a new "Community Facts" feature, to help users find frequently requested statistics about their communities, and a "Guided Search" feature.
American Community Survey Brief: Homeownership Among the Foreign-Born Population: 2011 — A new brief based on statistics from the 2011 American Community Survey examines the homeownership and renter status among foreign-born households. In this report, a household is designated as foreign-born based on the nativity of the householder, regardless of the other occupants' nativity. Country and region of origin of the household are based on the country and region of origin of the householder as well. (Tentatively scheduled for release Jan. 30.)
American Community Survey Brief: The Geographic Concentration of High-Income Households: 2007-2011 — Examines where high-income households are and which areas have the highest concentration of such households. High-income households are defined as those in the top 5 percent of the national income distribution. The statistics come from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey five-year estimates and are shown for counties and metro areas. (Scheduled for release in mid-February.)
2007-2011 American Community Survey: Citizen Voting-Age Population — This tabulation from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey shows estimates of the citizen voting age population by race for small areas of geography. This is the third year in a row that the American Community Survey has produced estimates of this population for even the smallest geographic areas. Prior to the American Community Survey, communities had to wait 10 years for an update on the citizen voting-age population. Previous versions of the files can be found on the Census Bureau's Redistricting Data website. (Scheduled for release Jan. 28.)
Evaluation Estimates of the Population for the United States, Cities and Towns (Incorporated Places and Minor Civil Divisions): April 1, 2000, to July 1, 2010 — Internet downloadable files contain vintage 2010 estimates of total population. The estimates were developed using the Census Bureau's "Distributive Housing Unit Method." This method uses a housing unit based method to distribute county household population estimates to the subcounty areas within each county. Estimates of the population living in group quarters are then added to create estimates of the total resident population. These estimates include changes from incorporation of special censuses and local challenges.
A downloadable file containing alternative estimates also was produced with the same method but did not incorporate special censuses and local challenges. All estimates are based on the 2000 Census and were created without incorporation or consideration of the 2010 Census results. The evaluation estimates are available on the population estimates Web page <http://www.census.gov/popest/research/eval-estimates/eval-est.html>. (Scheduled for release Jan. 31.)
Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation — Results from one of the oldest continuing and most comprehensive recreation surveys.

In addition, export and inventory data were collected for selected industries. The latest Annual Services Report site can be accessed at http://www.census.gov/services/index.html. (Scheduled for release Jan. 29.)
African-American History Month (February) — To commemorate and celebrate the contributions to our nation made by people of African descent, the Census Bureau presents a collection of demographic and economic statistics about the black community. (Scheduled for release Jan. 28.)

Betty Buckley: Ah, Men! [Palmetto PM 2158]
Sitting backstage during her two years as a replacement Catherine — the romantic lead of Stephen Schwartz's Pippin — Betty Buckley listened to John Rubinstein (and later Michael Rupert) do "Corner of the Sky," nightly, over the dressing room intercom. "Rivers belong where they can ramble," they sang; and Buckley occasionally wondered, why can't I have a song like that? Or like "I Can See It," the shiningly despairing male duet from Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt's The Fantasticks.
Songwriters wrote songs like "Come Back to Me," "Luck Be a Lady" and "Hey There" for their male stars, while the leading ladies got "I Feel Pretty." Buckley never wanted to play Maria in West Side Story. She is, she tells us, Riff, and sings "The Jet Song" as evidence. Why can't Betty sing the men's songs? Why, in musical comedy terms, can't a woman be more like a man?
That is the hook for Buckley's new CD, "Ah, Men!" This originated at Feinstein's in October 2011, one of Buckley's most enjoyable turns in years — because, in part, she was decidedly not singing the same old songs. The CD captures the very special club act, including a piece of special material originating with "Why Can't a Woman?" (AKA My Fair Lady's "A Hymn to Him"). This deft parody was arranged by Eric Stern — drawing on show tunes by everyone — with new lyrics by Eric Kornfeld, and it turns out to be as good as you hope it will be. (She tells us all about that trouble in River City, and notes that it would be nice to have "a King Arthur who can actually sing.")

The latest incident was reported the day after Christmas when police say a woman discovered someone had picked her pocketbook as it hung off the back of a chair at Panera Bread in the Gateway Shopping Center.
According to Tredyffrin Police the victim reported a wallet was stolen from a purse that was hanging on the back of the chair. The wallet contained credit cards, identification and U.S. currency. The case is under investigation. The incident happened around 12:45 p.m., in the middle of the busy lunch hour.
Following the latest report police have issued the following advisory:
"Police urge patrons not to hang purses on their chairs, as there have been other similar incidents occurring in the area. If possible, keep bags on your lap. Also, while shopping, do not keep purses in the shopping cart. Thieves use methods of distraction to steal wallets. When possible, keep bags zippered or snapped. If a purse has a top flap, keep the opening securely against you with the wallet at the bottom of the purse. "

Fletman is an out commercial litigator for Flaster/Greenberg, a commercial-business firm. Fletman received her law degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
She said she pursued a career in law to help her community — which she said also influenced her decision to run for one of the 10 spots for Common Pleas Judge.
"I was motivated by a desire to help people and to actively participate in bettering my community," she said. "This is a chance to be of service, and I am fortunate to be in a place in my personal life and career where I am able to do so."
Fletman has represented a range of companies in business disputes, specifically focusing on intellectual-property issues. She has also served as a representative for women's sports teams, seeking equality in college sports in Title IX litigation, and has legal experience in political campaigns.
"I often represent political campaigns and candidates in election-related matters, including serving on the statewide lawyer's steering committee for President Obama's reelection campaign," she said.
Fletman also worked as pro-bono counsel in cases involving confidentiality of records of HIV testing and securing the rights of same-sex life partners in such matters as gravestone inscriptions.
She has also been in a variety of leadership roles in local and national LGBT grous.
"In the mid-1980s, while I was still in law school, I served as the first female cochair of the organization that became Gay and Lesbian Lawyers of Philadelphia," she said. " I also served as the first female cochair of the Philadelphia Bar Association's Legal Rights of Lesbians and Gay Men Committee. Nationally, I helped establish the LGBT Litigator Committee of the American Bar Association's Litigation Section."
Fletman said electing out candidates promotes the notion that the judicial system is fair and impartial.
"Litigants will tend to have more faith in a judicial system that reflects the diversity of our great city," she said.
Although campaigning won't officially start until later this month, Fletman said she is prepared.
"I have been laying the groundwork for my campaign organization and have been meeting with leaders in many communities, including the LGBT community, for advice and support."
Fletman said her Philadelphia roots and experience as a trial lawyer are among the attributes she could contribute to the bench.
"I would bring my intellect, experience and devotion to fairness to the bench as well as a willingness to listen and make prompt decisions," she said.

Bosworth Moonlights For Bruno-------
For the last short film she shot for designer Vanessa Bruno, Kate Bosworth bent over backwards—literally. She scaled 40-foot fir trees, rode horses, and did backflips, all in the name of Lov (that's the short's title, naturally). For their latest collaboration, Moonlight, directed by Stéphanie Di Giusto (who also did Lov), Bruno keeps the moment going, walking on ceilings, riding motorcycles through the desert, and living in an illusory house. One can only imagine what she'll be doing for the next one. Moonlight debuts below.

I continue to be intrigued by the volume of RB talent that's seemingly readily available in fantasy leagues. The injury to the Jaguars' Maurice Jones-Drew reminds us that it's never a bad idea to have as much quality insurance behind your top running backs as possible. Owners might want to do a quick waiver-wire check this week as they review their backup plans at the position.
The suggestions below are a function of matchups, expected opportunities and other factors. As a general rule, we will focus only upon players available in more than 50 percent of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.
Vikings QB Christian Ponder (42 percent owned) — As a one-week fill-in in a bigger league, he's a reasonable pickup, though not a slam-dunk one, as the Vikings can feature a run-heavy offense at times. Nevertheless, he has a good matchup in Week Eight, as the Buccaneers are allowing 323.0 passing yards per game.
Browns QB Brandon Weeden (eight percent) — He's thrown two TD passes in three conecutive games, and he draws the San Diego defense (20th in yards per play allowed) at home in Week Eight. I continue to like what I see from Weeden.
Titans QB Matt Hasselbeck (eight percent) — Like Ponder, Hasselbeck is more a one-week replacement option than a long-term fix, but he's perfectly playable in big leagues Sunday against Indianapolis, which doesn't have a stout defense. Jake Locker (shoulder) is again out for Week Eight, meaning Hasselbeck gets the call once again for resurgent Tennessee.
Chiefs QB Brady Quinn (one percent) — The Chiefs' new starting quarterback will appeal to owners in deep leagues and/or two-QB formats. Quinn has a solid group of pass catchers at his disposal, and he draws an Oakland defense that's 22nd vs. the pass in his first game as the full-time starter on Sunday.
Running backs
Jaguars RB Rashad Jennings (25 percent) — With Jaguars starting RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) out for at least Week Eight and perhaps much longer, Jennings will be a coveted pickup this week. I have no qualms targeting Jennings on waivers, but don't have unreasonable expectations about his impact on your club. In extended action at Oakland on Sunday, he was held to 44 yards rushing on 21 attempts. In fact, Jennings' biggest impact at Oakland came in the passing game (seven receptions, 58 yards on nine targets). Overall, Jennings has gained but 90 yards on 34 carries this season. Jennings will get a good deal of work, which makes him someone worth claiming, but he has yet to show that he's going to be an every-week play for fantasy owners.
Giants RB Andre Brown (43 percent) — He found the endzone in Week Seven, but most importantly for fantasy owners, he was first in line for carries behind Ahmad Bradshaw, racking up 17 yards on five carries.
Patriots RB Danny Woodhead (38 percent) — Has received at least eight touches in 5-of-7 games. A useful player to have.
Colts RB Vick Ballard (35 percent) — If Donald Brown (knee) remains out in Week Eight, Ballard (20-84 vs. Cleveland on Sunday) would get the start at Tennessee, which is 25th vs. the run.
Rams RB Daryl Richardson (35 percent) — Combined rushes and receptions for Richardson in the last two games: 24. Combined touches for Steven Jackson: 27.
Falcons RB Jacquizz Rodgers (33 percent) — A logical pickup for Michael Turner owners.
Chiefs RB Peyton Hillis (27 percent) — A logical pickup for Jamaal Charles owners.
Browns RB Montario Hardesty (10 percent) — Insurance for Trent Richardson owners.
Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount (29 percent) — Will probably get dropped in some leagues after being stuffed on three straight goal-line carries vs. New Orleans on Sunday, but he's better than that, and he has some value. A nice claim-and-hold proposition.
49ers RB Kendall Hunter (26 percent) — Considering his skill and the 49ers' committment to the run, he's one of the top backup running backs widely available. Also, Frank Gore was hurting at the end of the Week Seven win vs. Seattle.
Steelers RB Jonathan Dwyer (24 percent) — His role will shrink once Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) and Isaac Redman (knee) return to the lineup, but those depending upon Mendenhall in big leagues might want to keep Dwyer around just in case. Dwyer had his best game as a pro in Week Seven, racking 122 yards on 17 carries at Cincinnati.
Patriots RB Brandon Bolden (23 percent) — Inactive with a knee injury in Week Eight but has flashed potential.
Wide receivers
Lions WRs Titus Young (25 percent) and Ryan Broyles (one percent) — Both could see more passes thrown their way with Nate Burleson out for the season with a broken leg. Young hasn't lived up to the preseason hype, but he comes off his best game of the season on Monday night (eight targets, six catches, 81 yards). Perhaps he's rounding into form. He merits a pickup. Broyles is also very interesting; he hasn't played much this season, but when he got some reps on Monday night, he made the most of them, catching three passes for 51 yards and scoring the Lions' lone TD. If you're looking to improve your WR depth and have a roster spot, I'd have no problem with taking a flier on Broyles.
Jets WR Jeremy Kerley (43 percent) — With Santonio Holmes out for the season, Kerley has become the primary target among the Jets' wide receivers. He's had 26 passes thrown his way the last three weeks, and he recorded career-highs in targets (11), catches (seven) and receiving yards (120) in the Week Seven loss at New England.
Cowboys WR Kevin Ogletree (24 percent) — Remember when he lit up the Giants for eight catches, 114 yards and a pair of TDs in Week One? Well, he hasn't quite produced at that level since (13 catches, 134 yards, no TDs in five games), but he does get another shot against New York on Sunday.
Broncos WR Brandon Stokley (12 percent) — He's caught a TD pass in consecutive games, and the Broncos face the Saints on Sunday. He's a nice plug-and-play option in three-WR formats.
Tight ends
Jets TE Dustin Keller (27 percent) — Hobbled by a hamstring injury at the beginning of this season, Keller had a break-through performance in Week Seven, catching seven passes for 93 yards and a TD. Clearly one of the top targets in the Jets' passing game.
Raiders TE Brandon Myers (13 percent) — Leads the Raiders in catches (28) and yards (334). Has caught 82.4 percent of the passes thrown his way.
Broncos TE Joel Dreessen (12 percent) — Was targeted a season-high seven times in the Broncos' last game before their Week Seven bye, catching six passes for 57 yards in the comeback win at San Diego. What's more, he caught one TD pass in each of Denver's previous three games in Weeks Three through Five.
Saints TE David Thomas (two percent) — Hauled in a 20-yard TD vs. Tampa Bay in Week Seven when seeing a slight uptick in targets with Jimmy Graham (ankle) sidelined. Doesn't get a lot of opportunities; he has but four catches on nine targets in six games. However, if Graham is sidelined once again, he's a reasonable addition in leagues with thin waiver wires.
Steelers PK Shaun Suisham (14 percent) — Has hit 14-of-15 field goals in six games. In sharp form.
Chargers PK Nick Novak (four percent) — Will be the Chargers' full-time kicker with Nate Kaeding to be let go once he's off injured reserve. While I like Novak as a long-term proposition, I might not rush him into the lineup in Week Eight, what with Cleveland Browns Stadium a sometimes tricky place to kick.
Detroit (29 percent) — There's plenty of playmaking talent on this defense. An attractive claim-and-play option for Week Eight, what with Seattle's offense not especially potent.
Miami (14 percent) — I'm sure some fantasy owners will look to pick up this defense with the Jets on the schedule.
Oakland (13 percent) — The Chiefs, whom the Raiders face in Week Eight, haven't scored an offensive touchdown in their last two games.

There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.
I keep finding myself rooting against the Falcons before reminding me that they need to win.
Man, if Saints lose tonight and we beat Denver Im going to have an aneurysm.

The Salem News
---- — One way in which mankind deals with its fears is to create rituals, even holidays, to keep them controlled. So, on Halloween, we dress as ghosts to face our fear of death, monsters to face our fear of bad people; we carve scary jack-o-lanterns to keep evil from our door.
I need an Obama costume to face my fear of Big Government: lying politicians, bureaucrat-run healthcare, cover-up commissions, enabling Big Media, power-hungry political machines, domestic spying, and trillions in debt passed on to my grandchildren.
Here's some of the news of the week leading into Halloween:
First we learn, as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's death, that some of the longstanding conspiracy theories might have validity. A forthcoming book, "A Cruel and Shocking Act: the Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination" by New York Times reporter Philip Shenon, is "an account of my discovery of how much of the truth about the Kennedy assassination has still not been told, and how much of the evidence about the president's murder was covered up or destroyed -- shredded, incinerated, or erased -- before it could reach the commission. Senior officials at both the CIA and the FBI hid information from the panel, apparently in hopes of concealing just how much they had known about Lee Harvey Oswald and the threat that he posed."
Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward was on CBS "Face the Nation" talking about both the National Security Agency spying and the disastrous rollout of the Affordable Care Act. He said that a "secret government" has led to many of the concerns now making headlines.
"We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot," he said. Referring back to the Watergate cover-up that he had exposed, and before that to the Kennedy assassination, Woodward identified the theme: "the power of this secret world – CIA, FBI… the assassination plots against Castro… this information really didn't get to the Warren Commission."
He noted the NSA wiretapping is "much more extensive than people expected … connect this with the drone strikes … our government conducting regular assassinations by air … you run into the rats nest of concealment and lies time and time again."
On Sunday evening, "60 Minutes" finally caught up with the Benghazi story: "The events of that night have been overshadowed by misinformation, confusion and intense partisanship."
An investigative report by Lara Logan confirmed that the Obama administration had been warned, months in advance, about inadequate security at the U.S. facility in Benghazi, and that it knew the story about a YouTube video was untrue.
Breitbart.com reminds us that this "was a reversal for CBS News, which played a key role in the Benghazi cover-up in 2012.
"A year ago, CBS News released a previously unaired clip of an interview for 60 Minutes with President Barack Obama on Sep. 12, the day after the Benghazi attack, in which the president suggests clearly that the attack on the U.S. consulate was premeditated. The interview contradicted Obama's subsequent claims that the attack had been a response to an anti-Islam YouTube video, repeated to the public for several days.
"CBS News had withheld that portion of the Sep. 12 interview until Oct. 19, choosing instead to release a portion in which Obama criticized rival Mitt Romney's condemnation of the administration's response to events -- a repeated theme as the media helped Obama deflect responsibility."
Obama deflecting responsibility, the Obama administration lying: another ongoing theme. The next major network to wake up was NBC News, reporting on Monday that "millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years … One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience 'sticker shock.'
"Buried in Obamacare regulations from July 2010 is an estimate that because of normal turnover in the individual insurance market, '40 to 67 percent' of customers will not be able to keep their policy.
"Yet President Obama, who had promised in 2009, 'if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan,' was still saying in 2012, 'If (you) already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.' "
Of course he was. And why not? Enough scary low-information voters were going to believe anything Obama told them – as the media which was supposed to inform them ignored or participated in cover-ups.
Perhaps this week's news is a sign that the Fourth Estate is finally going to do its job. But don't blow out the jack-o-lantern yet. The Daily Caller reports that the home of former Washington Times reporter Audrey Hudson was raided in August by armed agents of the U.S. Coast Guard, Maryland State Police, and Department of Homeland Security, ostensibly looking for unregistered guns. One of the agents asked if she was the same person who had written a series of stories critical of the federal air marshal program in the mid-2000s. Without a warrant for her files, they took documents that related to the air marshal stories, apparently fishing for her sources.
Be afraid, Americans, be very afraid.

Tonight is something we have all been waiting for: the conclusion of this season of TUF, the end of the Kimbo weekly drama (catch the show this week to see Kimbo's return), and the constant bickering between Rampage and Rashad.
While, we are hoping the fights will be better tonight, we at least get more real UFC fighters on the card, and less TUF types.
Here are a few clips and my thoughts...
Marcus "Big Baby/ The Darkness" Jones vs. Matt "Meat Head" Mitrione
This will be the first bout of the TV card and one that many want to see. Meat Head aggravated people all season and most will be rooting against him in this fight. Davis became the favorite of the show as his size, strength, and huge teddy bear appeal warmed the hearts of his viewers (and plants).
Prediction: Both of these guys are very green, Meat Head could very well KO Jones. Both are former football players, and at some point this one will go to the ground, when it does Jones will dominate.
Jones by submission
Kimbo Slice vs. Houston Alexander:
TUF 10 will forever be known as the season of Kimbo. Believe it or not, a lot of the hardcore MMA fans started coming around and rooting for Kimbo, but the constant pressure of Kimbo down your throat, and him not stepping up to fight changed most of their minds. Houston on the other hand is the UFC's version of Kimbo…No ground game, hated on by many… This could actually be a decent fight.
Kimbo has never fought anyone that can bang like Houston. When Kimbo denied the chance to fight for the contract it made me question his motives. If he doesn't want this, and is pressured by Alexander, then he may fold. That is what I expect! Houston by TKO! If Houston does not win, expect the UFC to hand him his walking papers.
The rest of my predictions can be found right here.

Work begins on Pickering's £2m flood defence scheme (From York Press)

Work begins on Pickering's £2m flood defence scheme
Updated 10:45am Wednesday 8th January 2014 in News By Karen Darley
A PIONEERING £2m scheme to combat flooding in Pickering has started this week.
More than two years after the first proposals had to be dropped because of escalating costs, construction work on the long-awaited flood storage reservoir got underway yesterday (Tuesday).
The new scheme, known as the Slowing the Flow, is designed to hold back more than 100,000 cubic metres of flood water in Newtondale at times of peak flow from Pickering Beck.
While it will not prevent all floods – such as those in 2007 – it will improve protection for Pickering from the current 25 per cent chance of flooding in any one year to a four per cent chance or less.
The new flood storage scheme is designed to work in combination with the land management measures, funded by Defra, which have been put in place over the past few years, including tree planting, woody debris dams, timber bunds, heather bales to block moorland run-off channels and no burn zones on the moors.
The total cost of the scheme will be more than £2m, once maintenance costs for the next 50 years are factored in.
A key feature of the new plan is to use excavated clay from other projects in North Yorkshire, which will save several hundred thousand pounds in materials costs.
Jeremy Walker, Slowing the Flow partnership chairman, said: "We are delighted that at last we have an affordable scheme and the funds available to build it.
"Over the last year we have put together a bigger local funding package, which, together with some Government funding from Defra, puts us in a much better financial position.
"At the same time the Environment Agency has worked very hard to design a robust scheme which fully meets the standards required by the Reservoirs Act and which can be built within our budget.
"I am very grateful to many local people and organisations for their support, especially Ryedale District Council, North Yorkshire County Council and the Yorkshire Flood and Coastal Committee who have put up most of the money, and to Pickering Town Council who have agreed to help meet the on-going costs of future maintenance.
"We have also worked very closely with the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, whose positive and constructive approach has been a key factor in producing the new design.
"It has taken a long time and several false starts to get to this point. By undertaking the work over the coming months, the Environment Agency aims to avoid disruption to the railway and to the town's main tourist season.
"It is hoped to complete the project in April 2015, depending always on the weather."
Anne McIntosh, MP for Malton and Thirsk and chairman of the Defra Select Committee, said the project was a pioneering flood prevention scheme which would bring immediate benefit to those living in Pickering as well as similar schemes elsewhere in the country," she said.
"The start of the construction of the reservoir as part of the Slowing the Flow project is excellent news for Pickering and taken together with the other land management measures should protect the town from all but the most extreme floods in future."

No wonder floods are getting worse in areas that wouldn't normally flood when all the areas that should normally flood have either been built on or drained to maximise agriculture.
Keep on moving the problem on...

A pick-up slammed into a south Jackson home Friday night. Somehow, it appears everyone escaped serious injury.
The Chevrolet truck crashed into a house in the 700 block of Shepwood Drive, near the intersection of McDowell Road, shortly before 10 p.m.
On numerous occasions Jackson police could be seen helping the driver stand. The unidentified man was placed in handcuffs and in the back of a police cruiser.
JPD has not released any information about the crash or if any charges have been filed against the driver.
The homeowners say no one inside was injured.

91-year-old Iris Hagen of Cedar Falls spends a lot of time in one specific room of her house, her sewing area. Hagen has a lot of sewing experience.
She previously worked 17 years at a fabric shop, she volunteered in a sewing class at Peet Junior High in Cedar Falls and she's made numerous quilts and dresses.
The dresses Iris Hagen makes these days are pillowcase dresses for little girls at an orphanage in Haiti.
"I decided one of the happiest things I can do is make something for somebody that they will enjoy," said Iris Hagen.
Hagen started sewing the pillowcase dresses about a year and a half ago. Last spring, she sent 52 dresses to Haiti.
She hopes to send more than 60 dresses this coming April with a group of people going to Haiti from Orchard Hill Church in Cedar Falls.
"It's so much fun, I just can't stop," said Hagen.
Iris Hagen stores her finished dresses in the basement of her long-time church, St. Paul Lutheran in Cedar Falls.
The great-grandmother tries to sew two to three dresses each week from donated pillowcases. It takes about two hours to make one dress.
"I'm slightly addicted to it. If I have two hours, I think I can make another one," she said.
In addition to dresses, Hagen sews schoolbags. Her church fills the bags with supplies to be sent overseas to more than 26 countries by Lutheran World Relief.
Beside sewing, Hagen also likes to stay active in other ways. For her 90th birthday she bought herself an organ, and she takes weekly lessons. She's also participated in water aerobics for 30 years.
"People ask how I managed to grow so old. I tell them get rid of stress," said Iris Hagen.
Hagen reduces her stress by doing what she loves, sewing.

Top Runna game and song launchedTuesday, July 31, 2012
WITH the Olympics and the celebration of the nation's 50th anniversary of Independece this year, Jamaica has quite a lot to cheer about.
But PlayJamaica.com has one more thing for us to be excited about — Top Runna.
The flash-powered, social network-driven game was publicly launched last week with a two-fold purpose.
"Top Runna was developed as part of our plan to relaunch the PlayJamaica.com Website, as well as to celebrate our exploits at this year's Olympics," said Gregory Moore, technical director of PlayJamaica.com. "We thought that this product would have the best appeal and would showcase that our prowess is not only on the track, but in technology," he added.
The official launch of the game was held last Friday at the Big Yard Studios in Kingston in conjunction with the launch of the game's official song Top Runna performed by Serani.
Written, and produced by Serani, the rack was mixed by Winston 'Blackout' Thomas out of Miami, Florida, popularly known for his work with Nicki Minaj, Mims, and Fabolous, and with his international edge, the track has taken on a life of its own.
"It was after we did the song for the game that we realised this could be an anthem for the olympics," said Chris Lawe, senior consultant and director of PlayJamaica.com, who approached his former schoolmate, Serani, to do the song.
"This song is a tribute to the best athletes in the world, who just happen to Jamaicans," Serani added at the press junket as the team showcased the game to the media.
The game, as well as being a tribute, is seen as a showcase of Jamaica's talents, beyond the track.
"Top Runna is a uniquely 'Jamaican-ised' track racing game, that will capitalise on Jamaica's exploits at the Olympics. The world will watch us in London... and the world can participate in this game," said Ryan Moore, CEO of the website.
Featuring athletes such as "Lightening B", "Afaasta P" and "Sally-Ann F", the game offers a simple game play that all ages can enjoy. With easy tapping of the left and right arrow keys, players can tap their way to victor. Players' achievements and progress are highlighted through Facebook, making the game social as well.
Creating a niche for themselves in the world of online gaming, PlayJamaica.com will offer to gamers worldwide a chance of not only self-gratification but also the chance to win exclusively Jamaican prizes including Kindles, iPod Touch, Beats by Dre headphones, T-shirts and more.
The brothers, Gregory and Ryan, and Lawe run the website with the help of Marlon Lodge, who acts as chief technology officer.

According to Jay Smith,
Georgia Power area manager some Georgia power customers have been victims this
"There have been
roughly 75 this month," said Jay Smith, Area Manager, Georgia Power.
What some Georgia Power
customers have been victims of? Phone scams, some con artist have been
associating themselves with Georgia Power.
"What we have seen
are scammers that are contacting customers, telling them that the customer is
late on their bill, they're about to be disconnected unless the customer makes
a payment with a prepaid debit card," said Smith.
And the way in which these
phone scammers go about trying to con some Georgia Power customers, in order to
get some quick cash?
"They're given a
phone number to call, the customer goes out and buys the prepaid debit card and
then calls that phone number, gives them the account information off of it, the
scam artists go ahead and pull the money out of the debit card just as quickly
as they can," said Smith.
Leaving the victim conned
out of money, and still with a bill that needs to be paid, because the
individuals who collected the money aren't Georgia Power. Georgia Power wants
to remind individuals that they do not contact customers the way in which these
scammers are contacting potential victims.
"Georgia Power does
not contact customers that way if a customer is behind on their bill; Georgia
Power will contact the customer with a recorded message that goes to their
primary phone," said Smith.
Some South Georgia
residents heard about the recent scam, one didn't want us to show her face, they
say they are taking extra safety precautions.
"I would double
check, sometimes you have scam phone calls about send me this, I would always
double check and just follow my steps all the time," said Blake Phillips,
Georgia Power customer.
You know if it's someone
and they ask for personal information they need to get their number and phone
number and ask them if they can come into their office and whatever and then
usually people won't allow that and they will just hang up the phone,"
said Georgia Power customer who did not want to be identified.
Because in the end, they
don't want to be victims, and Georgia Power doesn't want you to be the victim
of a con artists tricks.

City development entity dispenses tax credits for low-income areas
Partnership with Central Bank seeks to generate jobs and economic development
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Community Development Entity (KC CDE) is helping direct new markets tax credits to catalytic projects that benefit low-income residents and communities in Kansas City, Mo. The development entity includes representatives from low-income communities and City staff, and is responsible for proposing and reviewing projects for new markets tax credit investments.
"New markets tax credits are an important addition to the City's available tools to address issues of economic development in distressed neighborhoods," said City Manager Wayne A. Cauthen. "The tax credits will be allocated through an established framework of neighborhood-based plans that identify specific needs and viable revitalization efforts."
The KC CDE partnered with Central Bank of Kansas City in October 2007 to apply for a $50 million allocation of new markets tax credits. The $50 million award is expected to produce a net amount of approximately $15 million of subsidy for businesses in distressed census tracts.
The KC CDE and Central Bank continue to work to pursue additional new markets tax credits for the development of mixed-use, business, community center and housing projects in the city's low-income communities.
"Coming off of my new tools for economic development symposium, I am happy to see City staff pursue new programs and resources that will specifically promote economic development in the neglected parts of our city," said Mayor Mark Funkhouser.
On March 5, the KC CDE submitted an application requesting $95 million in new markets tax credit allocation authority from the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Treasury Department. Organizations requesting awards under the federal New Markets Tax Credit Program must be certified as a Community Development Entity by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
If the $95 million is awarded, it will be targeted at projects that meet several of the following criteria: create living-wage, quality jobs and use workforce development support; demonstrate commitment to working collaboratively with regulatory agencies, community support organizations and affected neighborhoods to optimize benefits to the low income community; qualify as minority/women owned businesses enterprises, or demonstrate commitment to using minority and women business enterprises-contractors; demonstrate commitment to environmental remediation and Leadership in Energy Efficient Design standards; and demonstrate local ownership by low-income persons or residents of low-income communities. The $95 million allocation award outcome will be determinedin October.
The new markets tax credit program aligns with the City's redevelopment goals to provide investment capital to low-income communities and incent redevelopment efforts in highly distressed neighborhoods.
New markets tax credit information is available at http://www.kcmo.org/finance.nsf/web/newmarket.
Media inquiries and more information are available by calling Carrie Vanderford, project analyst for the City's Finance Department at (816) 513-2833.

KNIGHTDALE — A Roanoke Rapids resident ran into trouble Wednesday during what Knightdale police charged was his fourth visit to a Target store to get a high-end camera by clipping a security cable and walking out with the camera under his hat.
In arrest warrants, police charged Chad Michael Joseph, 26, of 820 Van Warren Road in Roanoke Rapids was in the Target store at 1000 Shoppes at Midway Drive when security workers saw him cut a cable attaching a Sony NEX F3 camera to a display, put the camera under his hat and leave the store.
Officers were already in the Target working on a different case, police said, and arrested Joseph as soon as security workers alerted them.
Target security had figured out who Joseph was when they looked at security-camera images, trying to figure out how other high-end cameras had disappeared July 31, Aug. 7 and Oct. 3, police explained.
Those times, the warrants say, Joseph used the same technique to take two Nikon cameras and a Canon camera.
All the cameras were valued at $549 to $699, the warrants said.
The charges against Joseph were four felony counts of larceny by defeating an anti-theft device and four misdemeanor counts of injury to personal property.
The cut cables, police told magistrates, were worth $600 each.
Joseph was being held on a $20,000 bond pending a first court appearance on Thursday.

New Jersey's Gov. Chris Christie took another shot at his state's teachers today by describing their union leaders as "political thugs."
In an interview with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, Christie offered no apology for his often tough talk that has left some teachers feeling bruised. He also talked about the presidential possibilities of both himself and his "friend" Donald Trump, and criticism by Jersey rock icon Bruce Springsteen.
While sitting in the school library at Lincoln School in Kearney, N.J., Christie told Sawyer that it's essential for his state's education system to change and he blames the teachers union for the harsh cuts his administration is making, that includes layoffs and larger classrooms.
"I believe the teachers in New Jersey in the main are wonderful public servants that care deeply. But their union, their union are a group of political thugs," Christie said.
He said the New Jersey Education Association refused to negotiate on a salary freeze last year. "They should have taken the salary freeze. They didn't and now, you know, we had to lay teachers off."

I like this guy more and more.
He's the real deal and Diane Sawyer is such a tool."Our president delivered his State of the Union message to Congress. That is one of the things his contract calls for -- to tell congress the condition of the country. This message, as I say, is to Congress. The rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the president has to tell 'em." ~ Will Rogers

Live updates
Robben: It was all about the first 20 minutes
Bayern winger Arjen Robben admitted a strong first 20 minutes from his side was key to their 3-1 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates.
Robben: Arsenal were nervous
Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben told ITV he felt Arsenal's nerves got the better of them in the first half of their defeat at the Emirates.
– Arjen Robben, speaking to ITV's Gabriel Clarke
They were a little bit nervous, but that's normal. They're a young team and there's a lot of pressure...but all respect to Arsenal, they're a talented team with a great manager.
Wenger: Our heads dropped
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admitted that Bayern Munich's third goal in their defeat at the Emirates took the wind out of his side's sailsRead the full story
He could help?
Arsenal could do with this man right about now. Unfortunately for them, he's only swapped shirts with Per Mertesacker.

REACTION: Wilshere reflects on loss
Arsenal's best player on the night Jack Wilshere admits first half display let side down
Wenger fronts up
Arsene Wenger has emerged from the dressing-rooms and has had a word with ITV reporter Gabriel Clarke:
In the second half when it was 2-1 I thought we would come back to 2-2. But when we conceded the third goal you could see something had gone in our team. Mentally the team was down because we'd battled so hard.
– Arsene Wenger speaking to ITV's Gabriel Clarke
Nerves played a big part. The confidence isn't there to play with our technical talent.
You don't play for Bayern anymore!
Nail on the head
In Wilshere we have a new Vieira. But he's playing in a team of Grimandis. #average
Highlights: Arsenal 1-3 Bayern
Bayern Munich produced a European masterclass to take a commanding 3-1 lead over Arsenal in their Round of 16 tieRead the full story

We cover pro wrestling a little more than we should these days, because it turns out a lot of people want to read about fake fighting on legitimate comedy sports blogs and because more of us watched it when we were kids than we'd like to admit. Some of us still do, and have blogging jobs instead of working in an office somewhere and having the respect of anyone. I've been looking for a way to follow-up on the WWF Legends Minimalist Poster Gallery from earlier this month, and pro wrestling personality/friend of the site Kyle Durden gave me a great idea … what's more WWF and minimalist than actual pro wrestling promo 8x10s? Nothing, it turns out, especially if you find the ones from the late 1980s/early 1990s, after wrestling had been popular but before it got popular again. That's a gold mine. So here's a look into the WWF promo photos gold mine. A preview of what you'll find inside: Dusty Rhodes as a laughing garbage man, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake going from normal human...
