Lincoln parents got involved in talking about some pretty tough topics Monday night; bullying, prescription drug use and technology safety.
It was all part of an open discussion at Scott Middle School.
Parents, teachers and experts all agree, you need to talk to your kids about this stuff.
Rose Hood, SCIP Coordinator says, "When we're talking about it and we're changing our culture at a young age that really changes things when they're in high school. If we're waiting until they're in high school and the bullying issues are bigger and different, there's really not much we want do when they've been doing it through out there school age."
Pharmacist Dr. Allison Anderson Dering says, "it's scary to talk to your child about things that you hope they don't know about and the realty is they know. They've heard it from other people, they've actually seen it happen, so you aren't giving them a new idea."
The Lancaster Prevention Coalition was in charge of the event.
They hope to facilitate more in the future.

With the focus on towering, majestic mountains, this late summer ride kicks off in the Old Town of Zurich. With a handful of medieval churches, a spectacular art gallery, a most engaging cafe culture and a wealth of nightlife, our two days in Zurich are filled with possibilities. One of which is to begin tackling mountain passes right away! Albispass, Pragelpass, Sattelegg, and Glaubenbergpass all offer magnificent views from the top and an exciting ride to get there.
The Journey begins
With the Danube flowing at its head and the Rhein babbling at its feet, Germany's Black Forest is set in impressive natural splendor and is the focus of the first day on the road. This wonderful, unspoiled region encompasses ravines and torrents, dense woods and impressive hills. Landscape, nature, climate, especially the people, and the unique agricultural products, are but a few of the things which comprise the wealth of the Black Forest.
Our exit from the hills of Germany across the broad flood plain of the Rhine Valley takes us to Kaysersberg, a perfect, quaint village with half-timbered houses painted n a riot of color. Vive la France!
France's Doubs region is a pretty area living in the shadows of the more well known tourist regions. What you experience here is great scenery and riding without the annoying crush of tourist traffic. The roads of the Alsace region climb into the hills of the Vosges from the valley area famous for its wines. Choose a route with seven pass roads or cruise through the Rhein valley. The choice is yours.
Double overnight on the shore of Lake Annecy
The French are proud of their - well - Frenchness: Champagne, Chanel No. 5, camembert, croissants. No wonder when we speak of the joy of life, it's in French: "joie de vivre." The French believe they have the franchise on culture, cuisine - and especially, romance. You'll probably agree when you set eyes on Lac d'Annecy, a crystal-clear, turquoise mountain lake in the heart of the Savoie region.
One of the most beautiful towns in the Haute Savoie region, Annecy is a gracious town that is still the quiet joy of provincial France and a perfect example of romance in both location and architecture. Bustle about the shopping core of Annecy or sit in the marvelous lakeside park and commune with nature at its best. Total relaxation on the grass by the pool, a boat ride, a visit to Mont Blanc and a ride up the mountain on the world's highest cable car, or perhaps a visit to the ancient castle of Menthon or the Museum of the French Resistance movement; our double overnight here offers something for everyone.
Spring from valley to valley
Travel through appealing Alpine scenery with conifer woods, grasslands and some very impressive mountains as you conquer Col de la Forclaz, Clo de Tamie, Col de la Madeleine, Col du Glandon, Col de Sarenne, Col du Lautaret, Col d'Izoard - and this is only on the way to our next double overnight! On the free day you can carry on to the highest pass in the Alps, Col de la Bonette. If you have had enough pass roads then head out to ride through two famous gorges; the Gorges du Cians and the Gorges de Daluis. Or combine them all for a full day of spectacular scenery.
Our last day in France means... twisty Alpine Roads
This is a special day with a route that starts over some of the smaller passes and finishes with one of the highest and most beautiful in the Alps, the Col du Galibier in the northern French Alps. The other passes possible include Col de Vars, Col de Larche, Col di Sampeyre, Col de l'Agnello and Col Du Lautaret. On this last day in France enjoy a final opportunity to mentally reprint some of the delightful memories of the roads, the people, the hotels, and the food on the way to Italy.
Poets and painters have long found inspiration in the lake district of Italy. Sometimes called the Lombard Lakes, the area includes eleven lakes, all of glacial origin. The magic of the area arises from the fortuitous combination of Alpine and southern scenery, clear blue skies and a mild climate. Lago Maggiore is the most well known of the lakes and our hotel is situated right on its shores. A free day here provides an opportunity to rest, visit museums, castles and world-class gardens.
It is certainly not down-hill for the last two days of the ride! From Verbania to Chur, wonderfully engineered Swiss roads will make riders smile, while stunning Swiss scenery keeps passengers enthralled. Further, on the last day of the tour it is possible to up the number of countries visited by 33%, with a detour though Lichtenstein and Austria.
Miles and miles of twisty roads, a spread of culture, architecture, food and scenery, and as always, the freedom of a Beach tour combine to make this a challenging, delightful ride.

On day of Modell's death, news anchor remembers Art Modell's first TV interview about leaving city
In '95, Modell said moving Browns was 'agonizing'
CLEVELAND - When the phone rang, the voice I heard was unmistakably that of Art Modell, owner of the Cleveland Browns.
The word had leaked out that Modell was trying to move the team to Baltimore and that there had been secret talks ongoing between the owner of the franchise and the political powers in Baltimore. The date was Saturday, Nov. 4, 1995.
"This is Art Modell," said the voice. It was resonate and seemed untroubled. When I identified myself and said we were recording the conversation to put it on television, Modell agreed. I immediately jumped to the subject at hand.
"It's a long process and I prefer not go get into the details of it," said Modell as I asked the question of if the team ownership, indeed, was making moves to move the National Football League franchise from Cleveland to Baltimore. "Suffice it to say a lot of thought has been given to it," he added.
As Modell spoke, his voice was recorded and my voice and image were recorded in our studio for playback on the broadcast I was hosting, "The Weekend Exchange" on WEWS-TV in Cleveland.
He talked about the financial problems of the Cleveland Browns. The team was playing in the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium and there had been stalled talks between the city and the Browns over the facility.
"The communitychose to go into a different direction," said Modell. "They built Gateway (the Cleveland Indians baseball ballpark and the Cleveland Cavs basketball arena), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the science museum; spent a half a billion dollars in the process and they made their choice and seemed to ignore the needs of the Browns," he lamented.
We spoke for several minutes in his first televised interview, verifying the speculation that talks were ongoing with Baltimore on gaining a football franchise at the expense of Cleveland. Though Modell said he could not go in great detail, what he said resounded through the phone and through Cleveland when the interview aired that morning. It would air several times over the next few days.
When news of Art Modell's death was announced Thursday, my mind flashed back to 1995 and that interview over the telephone with the man who became such a hated figure in Cleveland sports and civic circles. Eventually, Cleveland would fight to maintain the name and history of the Browns as the NFL agreed to put another football franchise in Cleveland.
Still the name Art Modell raised the eyebrows of many Clevelanders. When he died Thursday, it marked the end of an era and the end of a shaky relationship between the owner of a professional football team and the city the team had called home for decades.
No doubt, Clevelanders will debate the issues that led to the team leaving Cleveland. With every sentence spoken, the name Modell will probably arise. He played a significant part in the city's development and in Cleveland's sports scene. Whatever people may feel about Modell, there is one thing which is certain. He played a vital role in the way we were and probably in the way we are today.
More Art Modell Stories
The hot topic in northeast Ohio - will former Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton?
Four linemen in their first year of eligibility, including single-season sacks record holder Michael Strahan, are among 15 modern-era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Two former Cleveland politicians say ex-Browns owner Art Modell turned down the city's offer to build a new stadium before he took his team to Baltimore.
Thousands of family and friends turned out Tuesday for the funeral of former Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell.
Hopefully the NFL will take two minutes to read this blog to see how dumb it is to ask the the Cleveland Browns to pay tribute in any way to Art Modell this Sunday.
The Cleveland Browns plan to hold a tribute to former owner Art Modell at Sunday's game, the team said Friday.
News Anchor Leon Bibb was the first television reporter to interview Art Modell about his plans to move the team to Baltimore.
Visitors at Canton's Pro Football Hall of Fame remember former Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell.
One city is mourning the loss of a man who brought the beloved game of football back to its city, while another is celebrating the end of what many consider to be a two decades-long curse on its current team.

MALONE — Sales-tax projections were boosted, insurance costs recalculated and land-sale revenue doubled to get the 2013 Franklin County budget under the mandated tax cap.
Legislators may adopt the plan and lock in its bottom line Thursday to allow staff more time to distribute tax bills.
But in-housing tinkering can still take place as long as the budget total doesn't change, said County Manager Thomas Leitz, who is also the budget officer.
In a special meeting Tuesday, legislators were shown 2½ pages of savings, adjustments and corrections to the $99,740,402 budget, which is a decrease of 11.4 percent from this year.
The changes bring the overall tax levy to $14,875,816, an increase of 1.91 percent.
The average tax rate per $1,000 of assessed-property value was about $4.29 before the adjustments; a new calculation was not available Tuesday. Firm numbers could be released about 10 a.m. Thursday during a work session of the County Legislature before its 11:30 a.m. call to order. The meetings are open to the public and will be held in the fourth-floor chambers of the County Courthouse.
Among the changes discussed was using $175,444 more from a retirement-reserve account for a total of $700,444 that would be applied to offset the tax levy.
Also, the projected sales-tax revenue for 2013 was changed from $20,950,000 to $21 million.
Revenue from a county land sale was upped to $250,000 from the original $100,000 estimate. There are 65 parcels set for auction in the spring, and a few are waterfront properties in the south end of the county that could fetch high prices, Leitz said.
The county also expects to sell the former Alaskan Oil property on Route 11 in Malone, which was part of a Brownfield remediation project two years ago where an abandoned gas station was razed, its underground tanks removed and contaminated soil removed. The minimum bid on that property is $100,000, but it did not sell in previous attempts.

It was the moment a mother had waited five long years for.
On Feb. 20, 2009, Stewart Richardson, a man with a long history of drunk driving arrests, slammed into the sedan of a Fort Worth family.
Abdallah Khader was a toddler strapped in his car seat. The horrific crash left him all but brain dead.
In a jail-house interview with News 8's Jim Douglas, Stewart Richardson said he'd like to tell Abdallah's family how sorry he is. After seeing that interview, Abdallah's Mother told Jim that she would like to face Richardson herself.
She got that chance Thursday, on the anniversary of the crash. Jim Douglas was there for the gut wrenching moment Loubna Khader came face to face with the man who admits he maimed her oldest child.
He joined Jason Wheeler on News 8 at 4 to talk about the very raw, emotional exchange.

PHILADELPHIA Ś His pregame updates and post-practice briefings this season have been bereft of emotion. And between games viewed from the bench and individual workouts away from others, Andrew Bynum had provided scant reasons to believe that, at some point, he would wear a 76ers uniform.
That optimistic imagery seemed like a mirage Friday at PCOM, where Bynum painted a bleak picture for the remainder of his season with the Sixers.
Feel pressured to play? Not really. Interested in getting out there for prideÆs sake? ThatÆs secondary, too. Bothered by the growing perception that pain isnÆt worth playing through?
ōNo, I donÆt feel that at all,ö Bynum said. ōI feel like itÆs my life, IÆm 25 and I donÆt want to have no cartilage because thatÆs really bad. ThatÆs it.ö
Bynum gave an update on his rehab after Sixers practice. Grab a pen. This one takes a few turns.
The injured center said heÆs experienced swelling in his right knee since Feb. 22, when he participated in a 5-on-5 scrimmage, his first on-court activity with his teammates all season. To that point, his right knee hadnÆt been giving him problems. Rather, the left was the issue. ThatÆs the one Bynum hurt in November while bowling Ś and while rehabbing the original injury, in his right knee.
Still following?
HereÆs what all of that means: With 26 games to go in the SixersÆ season, Bynum said itÆs becoming more abundantly clear that he may never play for this team. And Bynum, an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, said he doesnÆt think he needs to play in order to demonstrate his value for his next employer.
ōBeing healthy is more important than everything else. If I am healthy, IÆll get a deal,ö said Bynum, whoÆs making $16.5 million with the Sixers. ōI have to be able to play and I need to get to the point where IÆm healthy to play.ö
The only thing keeping Bynum from shutting down his rehab operations for the remainder of the season, he said, has nothing to do with appeasing fans or making good on the SixersÆ trade for him last offseason.
Instead, itÆs to stay in shape. He said heÆs within nine pounds of his playing weight, even if the number on the scale isnÆt nearly relevant as the games heÆs played for the Sixers.
ōI still need to stay in some type of shape,ö he said. ōI work when I can and take days off when I can.ö
Since that practice more than a week ago, when he re-injured his right knee, Bynum said heÆs been relegated to light workouts on elliptical machines.
How frustrating is this situation for Bynum? The big man went all medical in his explanations, saying surgery isnÆt an option because one doesnÆt exist to cure what heÆs got. He said he expects to have a career beyond this injury Ś and heÆs willing to wait for doctors to develop a treatment for his weakened knee cartilage. Straight-faced, Bynum discussed procedures of which no basketball players ever want to have a working knowledge.
ōI think IÆll be able to play in some form or fashion in the future. They are getting close with things to do for articular cartilage,ö Bynum said. ōThey just grew cartilage in a Petri dish. I think scientists are looking at it, doctors are looking at it. ItÆs a problem and theyÆre going to come up with something.ö
Admittedly, Bynum is out of options. For months, he watched practice and received treatment and ice. In January, he ramped up his rehab to include basketball activity. In February, he incorporated basketball moves Ś cutting, running, jumping, pivoting. And last week, all of that build up from his August introductory press conference went out the window with a tweak in his first and only on-court workout with his teammates.
ōIÆm stuck,ö he said. ōI played in one scrimmage and itÆs a four- to five-day setback.ö
If you think itÆs bad for Bynum, itÆs been doubly worse for coach Doug Collins and the Sixers, who have had to meter their desire to view BynumÆs eventual return as the cavalry arriving just in time. The Sixers (22-34), mired in a season-worst seven-game losing streak entering tonightÆs game with visiting Golden State, might never get to see what they look like with Bynum.
ōIÆve been coaching the team all along like that,ö Collins said. ōTo me, thereÆs always been that possibility. So does that mean I didnÆt have hope he was going to come back? Absolutely, we wanted him back. You start looking at that Ś maybe weÆll have him for 40 (games). Maybe weÆll have him for 30. You keep that hope. Everybody has to have that hope.
ōNow weÆre down to 26 games and the reality is there is not much more time left in it. From training camp on, IÆve tried to say, æWe donÆt have Andrew.Æ Hopefully we get him back and heÆs going to really help us. I havenÆt been waking up going æI hope he gets back today.Æ Do I hope that? Sure, I do. But IÆve got to focus in on these guys that are playing every night.ö
And Bynum, through 56 games, hasnÆt been one of them.

Really? And in what way is the AF crippled?
well read a bit about cross type sensors and then read the feature list of both cameras.... you may get it.
I am certain it will provide great IQ, AF in line with its price range
a 1200 euro 7D has way better AF then the 6D so what are you trying to tell us here?
the 900 euro 60D has cross type sensors for all AF points.
I think this camera will sell really well, especially with wifi adding extra functionality.
oh yeah as if that means something to an educated customer.
or as if wifi explains the cost of the 6D .. i can buy wifi cards and USB sticks for 15 euro.
wifi chips are cheap... same is true for GPS chips.
and to be honest all kind of crap sells well when there is a brand name printed on it.
because the average joe customer has no clue and only sees a brand name.
the 6D is overpriced... and this says it all:
it´s already a joke....

The West Virginia Mountaineers finally got back on the scoreboard early in the third quarter, with Geno Smith concluding a drive by hitting Tyler Urban for a 12-yard score to make it 27-14. Just before the touchdown, and for the second time this game, a LSU player (Michael Brockers this time) suffered an unconvincing injury as WVU operated from its no-huddle. Coach Dana Holgorsen could be clearly seen on television saying, "That's b-------" while shaking his head.
Here! Take a look! (Click to animate, via @bubbaprog)
West Virginia's defense has come back to life as well, forcing a punt. Brad Wing remains LSU's punter, so of course it was a fantastic punt, but Smith has already brought the Eers out of harm's way.
For discussion, head to LSU blog And The Valley Shook and West Virginia blog The Smoking Musket. Also, check out this week's college football TV schedule, and stay tuned to SB Nation's college football news hub and Week 4 college football coverage for more.

By Walla Walla Sweets
WALLA WALLA, Wash. – The Walla Walla Sweets announced today the signing of returning players Ben Ruff and Spencer O'Neil. Ruff, a utility player, and O'Neil, an outfielder, played for the Sweets in 2012 and will return to Walla Walla for the 2013 season of West Coast League baseball.
Ruff, a 5-foot 10-inch, 195-pound, junior at Seattle University appeared in 30 games for the Sweets in 2012. He was a utility player for the Sweets who saw time at third base, shortstop, and on the pitching mound. As a pitcher, Ruff was 2-3 with four saves, and in 22 innings of work he recorded 28 strikeouts and allowed just 13 walks. In 102 at-bats for the Sweets last season, Ruff hit .216 with five doubles, three triples, two home runs, and 11 RBI.
"Ben and Spencer are really quality guys who very much represent what we're all about" said Sweets manager J.C. Biagi. "They both have shown the ability to be very productive and are tough competitors."
A freshman at Central Arizona College, O'Neil appeared in 51 games for the Sweets last season. The 6-foot 4-inch, 175-pound outfielder, is a native of Kennewick, Washington and a graduate of Southridge High School. Last season for the Sweets O'Neil hit .259 with eight doubles and one triple in 170 at-bats. He led the Sweets in home runs (5) and RBI (34) and was selected by fans to represent the Sweets in the 2012 WCL All-Star game.
"After a year of college baseball under his belt, Spencer should show continued growth at the plate and find his place somewhere in the middle of our line-up," added Biagi. "I also believe that we'll see a very mature and seasoned closer in Ruff, and he'll once again be a guy that we look to late in ballgames to come in and shut the door."

- All my dogs love it! Review by Carol
Price Value Quality
I have 4 dogs and they all love Earthborn Holistic. I had them on a different food for about a year and saw a difference in the look and feel of their coats. Since feeding Earthborn again their coats are soft and shiny. They have solid poops again, and do not seem to go as often. Three of them have actually lost weight, which the vet was happy about. He told me to keep feeding Earthborn.

LONDON (AP) -- AC Milan frustrated Barcelona in its attempt to grab a valuable away goal in the Champions League on Wednesday, holding the defending champions to a 0-0 draw while Bayern Munich won 2-0 at Marseille to stay on course for the semifinals.
Barcelona had 62 percent of possession but failed to score in a Champions League match for the first time in 2½ years. When the Spanish side did create chances at San Siro, it was thwarted by Milan's experienced defense, goalkeeper Christian Abiatti and some lenient refereeing from Jonas Eriksson.
The closest Lionel Messi came to scoring was when he had a first-half goal ruled out for a clear offside.
Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben scored in the first leg of Bayern's quarterfinal in France.

Dave Ross on Hostess and Unions
Original post made by Joe on Nov 20, 2012
The transcript of today's radio program is copied below, with a link to the Dave Ross website. Read into it what you will, but the facts remain.
So Hostess may not go bankrupt after all. The judge wants everyone to sit down and talk about it. That's good. It might save those 18,500 jobs. But there's really only one thing to discuss.
According to the Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch column, Hostess's annual revenues were $2.5 billion.
$2.5 billion divided by 18,500 is $135,000 per Hostess employee. Well, there's another company with revenue figures in that ballpark: McKee Foods, makers of Little Debbie snacks -- the Cosmic Brownie, the Oatmeal Cream Pie, and the Cloud Cake, which looks suspiciously like a Twinkie, but sells for less.
McKee brings in about $1.1 billion with about 6,500 employees, which works out to $164,000 per employee. Twenty-one percent more than each Hostess employee brings in.
Now McKee has a very different history. It's still owned by the McKee family, it never sold out to venture capitalists, and it never unionized.
But there's no point in debating history, because the bottom line is they sell similar products for a lower price, and their employees are 21 percent more productive than Hostess employees.
So when everybody sits down in that bankruptcy court to figure things out, there's only one thing to discuss: how to get 21 percent more productive. When they sit down for that meeting I have a suggestion for the refreshments: Cosmic Brownies.

If you want to get into a top public university such as Berkeley or UNC Chapel Hill, you're going to need good grades and strong standardized test scores. Realize that these prestigious universities do not have a cut-off for grades, ACT scores, or SAT scores. Highly selective universities have holistic admissions, so the admissions officers will be looking at more than empirical data. Challenging courses, a winning essay, and interesting extracurricular activities also play an important role. In many cases, letters of recommendation, a strong interview, and your demonstrated interest can also improve your chances.
That said, the numbers do matter, and higher is better. These graphs show GPA, SAT score and ACT score data for accepted and rejected students at ten of the country's top-ranked public universities: Berkeley | Chapel Hill | Georgia Tech | Illinois | Michigan | UCLA | UCSD | Virginia | William & Mary | Wisconsin

Lawmakers return to Raleigh on Tuesday to consider overriding vetoes of two immigration and drug-testing-for-welfare-recipients bills. House Republican leaders may think they have enough votes, but Republican Gov. Pat McCrory has been fighting to the end to sway them, using new media to get his points across and relying on old-fashioned endorsements.
On Friday, the governor's office released statements from six county sheriffs supporting the veto of the immigration bill, H.B. 786. The sheriffs, like the governor, oppose a provision in the bill that would expand the exemption from the E-Verify immigration-status system for seasonal workers from 90 days to up to nine months.
McCrory has said that creates a loophole that could open the door for other industries besides agriculture to hire seasonal workers and take jobs away from legal residents. Some of the sheriffs echo those sentiments, and add other concerns.
Permitting more seasonal workers will lead to additional illegal immigration and affect schools, hospitals, roads and social programs, as well as increase the number of unlicensed drivers, Guilford Sheriff B.J. Barnes said.
The agricultural industry has been pushing for an override, saying it needs seasonal workers for a longer period to handle crops. More than a dozen industry associations have written to the General Assembly asking for the override, and state Agricultural Commissioner Steve Troxler has sided with them.
Other sheriffs expressing support for the veto are Sam Page of Rockingham County, Chipp Bailey of Mecklenburg County, Chris Batten of Columbus County, Alan Cloninger of Gaston County and Bill Schatzman of Forsyth County.
Lt. Gov.: 'Close the loophole'
Also lining up behind the governor, Lt. Gov. Dan Forest announced he supports the veto of the immigration bill. Forest sent out a news release acknowledging the General Assembly can muster enough votes to override the veto when it convenes for a veto session Tuesday.
"But I respectfully ask that they do not do so," Forest said.
The lieutenant governor's opposition to the bill is the same as the governor's: that it carves out a loophole that would allow employers other than those in the agricultural industry to classify some workers as seasonal for a longer time than is permitted under current law. The loophole "will be exploited by some unscrupulous employers to reclassify nonagricultural workers as 'seasonal' for the purposes of evading the E-Verify law," Forest said.
Meanwhile, a number of McCrory's supporters have been calling legislators, urging them not to override. Among them is Bill Graham, a Salisbury attorney, who McCrory defeated in the Republican primary for governor in 2008.
Graham, who remains active in Republican politics and is a major GOP donor, said he had talked with McCrory about his reasons for vetoing a bill requiring people applying for the state's Work First program to be tested if a social worker suspects them of drug abuse. The legislation also would require felony background checks for people applying for food stamps.
Failing grades for legislators
Opponents of the Republican legislative agenda will be at the government complex to hand out "report cards" that grade individual legislators and the House and Senate on laws they supported.
Because the grades were determined by opponents, the House and Senate both got F's, and lots of Republican lawmakers received zeros, though a few reached scores of 10 and 20.
Democrats tended to do better under this grading system. The report is an effort of the Forward Together Movement, led by the state NAACP and its president, the Rev. William Barber.
The grades are based on votes on 20 bills that opponents criticized, from the budget to the tax bill to the overhaul of state regulations.
Reps. Howard, Rucho honored
Rep. Julia Howard and Sen. Bob Rucho have been named the 2013 recipients of the Unemployment Insurance Integrity Award given by the Strategic Services on Unemployment & Workers Compensation. UWC is a national association that represents the business community on unemployment insurance and workers' compensation public policy issues.
"The North Carolina Chamber and its members commend the leadership of Rep. Howard and Sen. Rucho in reforming our state's broke and broken unemployment system,'' said Lew Ebert, chamber president. "We are pleased to see them be recognized for their hard work in shifting our focus from unemployment to re-employment.''

We now are getting a better picture about what happened on Oct. 5, 2010. That's when then-Phoenix police Officer Richard Chrisman shot and killed suspect Daniel Rodriguez during a domestic disturbance call.
CBS 5 obtained recording from days after the shooting as both officers were interviewed during the Phoenix Police Department's Internal Affairs investigation.
About halfway through his initial two-hour interview, Chrisman described why he felt that deadly force was justified.
"(Suspect Daniel Rodriguez) grabbed the bicycle and picked it up. Came at me just like that. Like that. And I had no choice. Pop. Pop. I fired," recalled Chrisman on the taped interviews.
However, in a separate internal affairs interview, Officer Sergio Virgillo, who acted as a back-up officer during the call, recalled a different situation.
"Was there anything Daniel was doing that you remembered that you observed that would have caused any, an officer to shoot Daniel?" asked Sgt. Julie Egea.
"No," responded Virgillo.
Virgillo also stated that things escalated quickly between Rodriguez and Chrisman.
"Officer Chrisman went hands on with him. Uh, I tried to grab the other, his, uh, Daniel's right arm and Officer Chrisman was grabbing his left arm and we were struggling," he explained.
There was even a point before the shooting when Virgillo saw something that shocked him.
"Chrisman pulled out his service weapon and put it to Daniel's head," said Virgillo.
"Was Daniel, um, threatening at that point?" asked Egea.
"No, I mean he was a police officer really and that's crazy stuff," responded Virgillo.
"Mmm-hmm," said Egea.
"It was crazy," said Virgillo.
When asked about that incident during his separate interview, Chrisman said pointing the gun at Rodriguez was simply a way to protect himself from the suspect's dogs.
"OK, so your intention was to scare the dog. When you put your gun to Daniel's head was your intention to commit an aggravated assault on Daniel?" asked Egea.
"Absolutely not ma'am. It was to gain compliance to control the situation," responded Chrisman.
Seconds later, Chrisman is accused of shooting one of Rodriguez's dogs to death before shooting the suspect twice in the chest.

An army airborne soldier on active duty in Afghanistan watched his wife deliver their twin daughter through a video chat, KPNX reported.
Colton Romney couldn't be in the delivery room with his wife Shannon when she had their daughters Liberty and Lauren. So a nurse held a phone with a live video chat and the high school sweethearts shared the special moment live.
"He was looking at me kind of shocked, but then he had this big huge smile on his face," Shannon Romney said.
This is not the first time these Mesa, Ariz. high school sweet-hearts use video chat to create family memories. When Shannon Romney had an ultrasound, Colton was there via the chat as well.
Colton Romney's mother whose three sons have served on active duty overseas, told KPNX she didn't know how people did it before video chats.
Shannon Romney doesn't know when her husband gets to hold the girls, KPNX reported.

Don't let the revolving door hit you on the way out
by desmoinesdem, Fri Sep 25, 2009 at 05:31:50 PM EDT
It used to be that lawmakers were coy about any ideas they had about heading for K Street, waiting until their terms ended before announcing they were beginning a more lucrative career.
But in recent years, members of Congress planning to become lobbyists have not been able to wait. In fact, when Florida Republican Mel Martinez this week accepted a position with the mega-lobbying and law firm DLA Piper -- less than two weeks after resigning from the Senate -- it brought to five the number of former lawmakers since 2007 who have abandoned their constituents midterm and almost immediately resurfaced with lobbying firms, according to data provided by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
The other four are Democrat Al Wynn, who lost the 2008 primary to Donna Edwards in MD-04, and Republicans Dennis Hastert (IL-14), Richard Baker (LA-06) and Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi.
Martinez met with folks from DLA before he formally stepped down from the Senate but stressed that the firm extended "no financial terms, no offer, no details" to Martinez until after he resigned Sept. 9.
"We didn't have any discussions with him until he decided to leave the Senate, and we didn't conduct any negotiations with him of any sort until he had left the Senate," said John Merrigan, a DLA partner. [...]
Martinez, who is barred from lobbying his former colleagues for two years, will advise clients on government affairs, litigation, financial services, real estate, energy, defense, infrastructure development and other matters, according to a DLA press release announcing his arrival. [...]
According to the firm, DLA has an office in Tampa, and Martinez will spend the bulk of his time working from Florida.
Sounds like more fun than being in the 40-member Republican Senate caucus, and it's certainly a lot more lucrative.

NORCROSS - A resident of Westwoods Apartments in Norcross was arrested Tuesday on charges he tried to set fire to his apartment.Firefighters arrived at 2:20 p.m. to find light smoke showing from one apartment in a two-story building. The fire was quickly extinguished, said Thomas Rutledge, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Fire Department. The occupant, 23-year-old Juan Roma-Franco, was home at the time of the fire and had to be removed twice by police officers and firefighters. Fire investigators believe he intentionally set the blaze, Rutledge said. Roma-Franco is charged with arson. The flames and smoke caused moderate damage to the room and its contents, but no injuries were reported.
