Omaha (KPTM) - The Omaha Police Department has released surveillance video of the suspect who opened fire at the Westroads Mall Wednesday afternoon.
Still images taken from the surveillance video show the shooter entering Von Maur Department Store for the first time to case the area.
Police say that the second image shows him return, holding something under a sweatshirt.
Police also released a third image that clearly shows the gunman aiming his weapon and firing. At this time, we are choosing to not release that image online.

The Canadiens' road to the Eastern Conference final will go through Boston, just as the Bruins' road to Round 3 will go through Montreal.
This is how it is, how it should be. How it must be.
A playoff clash is how it has been 33 times since 1929, when the 5-year-old Bruins swept the Canadiens in a three-game semifinal on the way to the first of their six Stanley Cup victories.
The Habs, as they would come to be known, beat Boston in the playoffs both of the next two years, indeed for the Cup in 1930. They would not meet again for a dozen years, the Bruins winning a 1943 semifinal.
And then came The Streak — 18 consecutive Canadiens wins over the Bruins in the post-season, from 1946 through 1987, including six meetings in the Stanley Cup final.
Had Bruins executive Harry Sinden joined the Choir Invisible during this span, he'd have arrived at the Pearly Gates to discover St. Peter wearing a Habs jersey.
And calling himself St-Pierre, just to build Harry's personal hell in the afterlife.
But Boston has enjoyed the edge in the rivals' 11 series since 1988. From 1988-94, the Bruins beat the Canadiens in five of their six playoff series. Montreal won the next three, Boston has been victorious the last two.
Their last six meetings, dating back 20 years, have been in the Eastern quarter-finals, three of their last four going the seven-game limit.
Naturally, all of this is water under the Champlain and Tobin bridges as numbers are crunched before bodies in the days leading to the latest renewal of hostilities.
If the Canadiens vs. the Bruins isn't the NHL's most heated rivalry — there are a few dandies in the west — it statistically is the league's most storied.
We're talking 85 years of sharpened elbows and hatchets made of lumber and spilled blood and broken bones wielded and inflicted by some of the meanest hombres who have ever laced up skates.
This isn't to suggest the series ahead will be a gong show. In their four regular-season games this year, the Canadiens winning twice in regulation and once in a shootout, the two teams were on church-league behaviour, relatively speaking.
The Bruins picked up 53 penalty minutes total compared to the Canadiens' 45, and 24 of those 98 minutes — 12 each — were assessed to Montreal's Brandon Prust and Boston's Kevan Miller.
The tidiest scouting report would suggest a series pitting Canadiens speed against Bruins brawn. The Habs' best chance to move on would be by playing the game that has brought them this far — skating, and using that speed to get between the Bruins' ears to test their opponents' discipline.
Oh, there will be battles. Is any Canadiens fan not looking forward to seeing Brendan Gallagher going nose-to-sternum with Zdeno Chara every single shift?
Fans will trade charges of diving by the Bruins' Brad Marchand, a rat extraordinaire, and the Habs' P.K. Subban, who will drive Boston supporters around the bend.
This could be an epic goaltending duel between Montreal's Carey Price, the Sochi Olympic gold medallist who's enjoyed a superb season, and Boston's Vézina Trophy nominee Tuukka Rask — notwithstanding Peter Budaj's 5-0-0 lifetime record at TD Garden with a sterling .960 save percentage.
While the Canadiens practised Sunday in Brossard, the Bruins took the day off following their Saturday ouster of the Detroit Red Wings.
Predictably, the Bruins were saying nothing Saturday to stir the Montreal pot, most saying the Canadiens weren't yet even on their radar.
Claude Julien, the former Habs coach who is 11-7 vs. Montreal in his 18 playoff games behind a Bruins bench, stuck a pin in the first hastily inflated balloon of hype.
"I don't mean to crush your question (about facing the Habs) but we're so far away from thinking about that right now," Julien said Saturday. "We will enjoy the win today, the series win. We'll kind of regroup and maybe next time I talk to you I'll be able to answer that question."
Said Boston centre Patrice Bergeron, the Quebec-native Frank Selke Trophy nominee as the NHL's best defensive forward:
"(The Habs) are a great team. They're definitely playing some great hockey right now. They played well against Tampa. It's going to be a good challenge again for us. There's lots of history behind both teams so it's going to be fun to be part of it. . . .
"We know what they got, they know what we got, so it's always a huge battle against them. We're expecting a tough and long series."
And then there was Bruins forward Milan Lucic, who would have made Slap Shot stick-scalpel villain Tim (Dr. Hook) McCracken blush at his late-season family-jewels spearing of two opponents, including Habs defenceman Alexei Emelin.
Lucic is almost as dangerous when he keeps his stick on the ice. He'll face the Canadiens with a hot hand, scoring three goals and adding an assist in three of his last four games.
"Fourth time now since 2008 that we faced them here in the playoffs, first time that it isn't a first-round matchup," Lucic said. "So another Original Six battle that we get to be a part of and a lot of hatred between the teams, the fans, the cities when it comes to this kind of rivalry.
"We expect them to bring their best. We saw what they were able to do in the first series. We've got to be prepared to come out and elevate our game as the playoffs move on."
Added sandpaper-smooth Shawn Thornton: "It's a good rivalry. We've played them a lot in my seven years here, so my initial feeling is, 'Embrace it.' It's good — both cities really get into it, both teams get into it, so I'm going to enjoy it."
There's eight and a half decades of history here, great games wrapped in genuine dislike, tied with bows of bad intentions.
Twice, in 1929 and most recently in 2011, the Bruins had to knock off the Canadiens en route to Stanley Cups, both times in pre-final rounds. If the 1929 sweep was a breeze, 2011 was choppy sailing, Boston rallying from a 2-0 series deficit to win Game 7 in overtime.
And now the winds are blowing again, to be raging later this week. The bridges of Montreal and Boston will be crossed again, the 34th chapter in the NHL's most enduring rivalry probably one for the books.

Brake Light Problems of Land Rover Freelander
Land Rover Freelander owners have reported 7 problems associated with brake light (under the exterior lighting category).
#1 - Brake Light problem of the 2003 Land Rover Freelander
I purchased a 2003 Land Rover Freelander. It was not until after other drivers commented to me that my brake lights and turn-signals were to low to be seen, that I realized they were on the bumper, not up where I thought they were. These lights are only 20 inches off the ground. In this day and age with so many high profile vehicles on the road, this height is well below these drivers field of vision. I realize Land Rover did this because of the spare tire, and the need to adhere to the 45-degree-inboard-visibility law. However, there fix made things worse. This problem is the talk of the internet on all the internet Freelander sites. Everyone that owns a Freelander is concerned, and some have gone so far as to wire the brakes to the upper lights. I feel this 45-degree law is dangerous, and should be ended or at least modified to an angle of 30-degrees so Freelander owners can have their lights modified legally. Sure there have not been any major accidents so far, but maybe it's because Freelander owners are aware of the problem, and are extra cautious. I am sure we all would like to be less paranoid when we use our brakes and turn-signals. It was March 1, 2003 when this brake light issue occurred.
See all problems of the 2003 Land Rover Freelander.
#2 - Brake Light problem of the 2002 Land Rover Freelander
The brake lights on the 2002 Land Rover Freelander (which we just purchased) are extremely misleading to anyone traveling behind the vehicle are bound to be the cause of accidents, if they havent been already. Although there are light clusters on each side of the tailgate (as there are on every vehicle in the us), they do not light up when the brakes are applied. Instead, the thin, rectangular lights in the bumper light up. We werent aware of this problem until my wife was pulled over by a connecticut state police officer for faulty brake lights. The dealer where we purchased the car then said they were unaware of the problem, agreed it was confusing, but were "powerless" to fix it because Land Rover north America says it meets all NHTSA regulations. Although the lights maybe within the 15-72 inch from the road range, the placement of them is deceiving. Ive yet to see any other vehicle in the us with brake lights only in the rear bumper. My fear is that this will not be addressed until something tragic happens because of it. Everyday this isn't fixed is a day we have to drive a vehicle with deceiving brake lights, putting our safety and the safety of those behind us at risk. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to continue driving the vehicle, even though wed rather not. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
See all problems of the 2002 Land Rover Freelander.
#3 - Brake Light problem of the 2002 Land Rover Freelander
The vehicle involved is a 2002 Land Rover Freelander. Vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle is SALNY22202_. The brake lights on this vehicle are designed very poorly. I have been pulled over twice for faulty brake lights. I have also almost been rearended. Due to the set up of these lights. This is not a safe vehicle and I will not let my pregnant wife and kids ride in it. Dt.
#4 - Brake Light problem of the 2002 Land Rover Freelander
The car involved is a 2002 Land Rover Freelander. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is SALNM222X2_. I feel the design of the tail lights has caused many close-call near accidents with my Freelander. The design is counter-intuitive for the drivers behind me, who expect the light assemblies on the corners of the vehicle to illuminate when braking. The brake lamps are in the bumper, however- which doesn't seem intuitive or sometimes aren't visible to a close-following vehicle. When not illuminated, it's difficult to even see the bumper lamp assemblies exist, yet the corner mounted assemblies are at eye level- but they have no blinkers or brake lamps. Some people have started modifying their own brake lamps in response to this issue! I'd rather have them changed legally than modify my vehicle without dot/NHTSA approval. This problem occurred on Monday, Dec. 16, 2002.
#5 - Brake Light problem of the 2002 Land Rover Freelander
The vehicle was a 2002 Land Rover Freelander. Both brake lights and rear turn signals are located far low down into the rear bumper; difficult for other drivers to see; could easily cause rearend collisiion. It was 01/05/02 when this brake light issue happened.
#6 - Brake Light problem of the 2002 Land Rover Freelander
The car involved was a 2002 Land Rover Freelander. Brake lights do not illuminate. Checked fuse, bulbs and wiring. All were operative. Had brake lamp switch replaced. Lights still not operational. (new stop lamp switch was the same manufacturer as the one that is currently under NHTSA investigation. ) since new part didn't work, old part was reinstalled and new one returned to dealer. The dealer wants to charge 300. 00 just to tell me why brakes won't work and is aware of what has already been tried. Brake lights still not operational. It was 02/07/2006 when this brake light issue occurred.
#7 - Brake Light problem of the 2002 Land Rover Freelander
The VIN of this vehicle is SALNE22292_. Land rover Freelander hse 2002: at 70,000 miles, transmission halts, seizing, rapid rpm jumps; less than one month later, the transmission completely died. Inoperable car towed and transmission rebuilt at private shop. Five miles from shop after pickup, car seized and died. Now, an additional repair of the "transfer case," which we were told caused the transmission failure. Now, service engine soon light on; battery keeps dying. Rapid depreciation, frequent repairs of brakes, brake pads, headlights, etc. Complained to manufacturer 2/23/2007. Car inoperable as of this date. Don't know what to do -- owe more than it's worth, cannot get full nada/kbb trade in value. . . Frustrated and disappointed. And out of money. This issue happened on February 23, 2007.

VCU will double it
David Teel
Daily Press
VCU will defeat not only Wichita State but also Indiana to reach a South Region semifinal against Kentucky.
Think CBS could milk that matchup for a few promos? The Rams proving last year's unfathomable Final Four run was not a fluke, the top-ranked Wildcats striving for coach John Calipari's first national title.
Yes, Wichita State is first-rate, and no, VCU isn't as good as in 2011. But Shaka Smart's full-court pressure still orchestrates a hectic, turnover-rich pace, and after last season's Final Four and this month's Colonial Athletic Association tournament title, Smart and veteran players such as Bradford Burgess and Juvonte Reddic know how, and expect, to win.
N.C. State enters hot
Todd M. Adams
Orlando Sentinel
I like to look for low-ranked teams from big conferences that enter the tournament hot. To that end, I'd pick 11th-seeded N.C. State as my bracket buster for the first weekend.
Before narrowly losing to North Carolina (one of the NCAA's No. 1 seeds) in the ACC semifinals this weekend, the Wolfpack had won four straight games. That included a victory over tournament team Virginia.
While it probably lacks enough depth to make a real deep tourney run, N.C. State has a very athletic group of seven core guys — including five who average more than 10 points a game.
State opens with a very beatable sixth-seeded San Diego State team, then would play No. 3 seed Georgetown.
Watch Long Beach State
Shannon Ryan
No. 12 Long Beach State hasn't been to the tournament since 2007 and only earned a bid into this season's field by beating UC Santa Barbara in the Big West tournament. Whoop-dee-do, right? Well, the 49ers can handle No. 5 New Mexico in the second round.

STEUBENVILLE - The Jefferson County Community Action Council Head Start program will see a $94,625.83 reduction this fall because of the federal sequestration.
CAC Chief Executive Officer Barb West told the board of trustees Wednesday the local Head Start program has been advised the financial cuts will come in the form of the reduction of one bus driver, a four-week layoff of a data clerk and a food service staff member.
West said the Head Start director, operations director and administrative assistant were reduced from 40 hours a week to 36 hours a week.
"One education supervisor has been eliminated along with one cook. And the overall reduction of children in the Head Start program to 200 will mean a realignment of classrooms. The Steubenville site will have six classrooms, Adena will have two classrooms and Wintersville and Tiltonsville each will have one classroom in their facilities," said West.
She also said all Head Start students that attend the Steubenville site and have a Steubenville address will be transported by parents.
"The students living in the outlying area such as Toronto, Mingo Junction or Brilliant will be transported to the Steubenville site. Students who live in Tiltonsville and attend the Tiltonsville site will be transported to the school by their parents. Outlying area students will be transported by Head Start. The same will apply to students in Adena and outside of Adena," explained West.
In other matters, the trustees approved a $341,054.71 service agreement with the Jefferson County Department of Job and Family Services for adult and dislocated workers.
The board also approved a $179,702.72 service agreement with Jobs and Family Services for youth workers.
West said the program will provide tutoring, summer employment opportunities for 90 youth, occupational skill training and follow-up services.
An application to assume the lead role for the Workforce Investment program four-county area of Jefferson, Belmont, Harrison and Carroll was authorized by the trustees.
The board met in executive session following its regular meeting to discuss personnel.

Lawyer: DWI suspect enters counseling
Mattituck mom accused of driving drunk in accident that killed teen
8 comments below
Caroline Goss, 34, is charged with drunk driving, endangering the welfare of a child and driving with an open container of alcohol in her vehicle.
The registered nurse, who authorities said had a blood-alcohol level of .13 percent when she fatally struck 15-year-old Joseph Marino on Aug. 12 in Hampton Bays, could face more serious charges, depending on what investigators learn from further blood tests and an accident reconstruction.
After she was released from jail on $20,000 bail, Ms. Goss immediately made appointments for psychological and alcohol counseling, Mr. Palumbo said.
"She thought that, based upon the allegations, she should seek professional help," he said.
Southampton Police Detective Sgt. Randy Hintze said Joseph had just stopped on his bike to talk to friends when he was struck. Mr. Clifford said cops found a cup containing alcohol in the front seat of the car and a half-full bottle of vanilla vodka in the back seat. Ms. Goss has previously been caught driving under the influence: She was convicted in 2003 of driving while ability impaired by alcohol.
SDLqWhen the blood toxicology screens for the presence of drugs are available [in at least two weeks] and the analysis of the accident reconstruction is completed, the evidence will be presented to a grand jury," Mr. Spota said.
In the moments after the accident, Ms. Goss, a divorced mother who also has a 10-year-old son, left her car to try to save Joseph, her lawyer said.
"She immediately jumped out of her car and performed CPR on the boy," Mr. Palumbo said of his client, who works in the intensive care unit at John T. Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson. "Her training took over."
The boy suffered massive head injuries and lost consciousness at the scene. He died last Thursday at Stony Brook University Medical Center.
"It's a terrible tragedy all around," Mr. Palumbo said. "She is someone who has dedicated her life to trying to save people and better herself."
Ms. Goss was released on $20,000 bail last week, but has yet to return to work, her lawyer said. The incident occurred as state lawmakers called for stiffer penalties last week for those who drive drunk with children in the car.
The Child Passenger Protection Act, proposed by Gov. David Paterson, would make it a felony for motorists to drive drunk or under the influence of drugs with passengers under 16.
The proposal came less than a month after a drunken West Babylon mother with five children in her minivan plowed through wrong-way traffic on the Taconic State Parkway and crashed head-on into another vehicle. She died in the wreck, along with four of the children and three men in the other vehicle. The woman also tested positive for marijuana, authorities said.

Thanks for sharing. What a pleuasre to read!
When does it end? : 8/21/2009
II had known her... remember her dream of becoming a nurse..working so hard to reach that goal while raising two young boys and working at the same time. There really is no excuse. Now she killed a teenager, a son,..her two sons about to lose a mother to jail time..who wins here? What does it take to just learn to NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE?!
The Nurse who Liiled the Boy : 8/20/2009
First off let me say. It's about time more women got arrested for DWI the in the past. Many time the Police would let a woman go when stopped for DWI or DUI. I know this from women I have known in the past who have gotten away with it because of a smile or flirting weith the Cop. It is not a Male issue it is a Human issue. There are so many people with drinking and drug problems and that has me concerned for our future as a culture. I am a former drinker and have seen may people drink and drive, with kids in the car and without. We as a society need to look at why we need to use subtances to deal with everyday issues. Alcohol is just a legalized drug. Why si that. Also I would like to say, I think it very unprofessional to post the young womans picture on the internet unitl she is found guilty of a crime. Her life is a mess already without the media exploiting it.
Sad story all around. Loss of a son and potential loss of a mother to incarceration.

Brinley Family
Brinley Family Papers, 1643-1950.
Call no.: MS 161
A prosperous family of merchants and landowners, the Brinleys were well ensconced among the social and political elite of colonial New England. Connected by marriage to other elite families in Rhode Island and Massachusetts — the Auchmutys, Craddocks, and Tyngs among them — the Brinleys were refined, highly educated, public spirited, and most often business-minded. Although many members of the family remained loyal to the British cause during the Revolution, the family retained their high social standing in the years following.
The Brinley collection includes business letters, legal and business records, wills, a fragment of a diary, documents relating to slaves, newspaper clippings, and a small number of paintings and artifacts. A descendent, Nancy Brinley, contributed a quantity of genealogical research notes and photocopies of Brinley family documents from other repositories. Of particular note in the collection is a fine nineteenth century copy of a John Smibert portrait of Deborah Brinley (1719), an elegant silver tray passed through the generations, and is a 1713 list of the library of Francis Brinley, which offers a foreshadowing of the remarkable book collection put together in the later nineteenth century by his descendant George Brinley.

Clark, William Smith, 1826-1886
William Smith Clark Papers, 1814-2003 (Bulk: 1844-1886).
Call no.: RG 3/1 C63
Born in Ashfield, Massachusetts, in 1826, William Smith Clark graduated from Amherst College in 1848 and went on to teach the natural sciences at Williston Seminary until 1850, when he continued his education abroad, studying chemistry and botany at the University of Goettingen, earning his Ph.D in 1852. From 1852 to 1867 he was a member of Amherst College's faculty as a Professor of Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology. As a leading citizen of Amherst, Clark was a strong advocate for the establishment of the new agricultural college, becoming one of the founding members of the college's faculty and in 1867, the year the college welcomed its first class of 56 students, its President. During his presidency, he pressured the state government to increase funding for the new college and provide scholarships to enable poor students, including women, to attend. The college faced economic hardship early in its existence: enrollment dropped in the 1870s, and the college fell into debt. He is noted as well for helping to establish an agricultural college at Sapporo, Japan, and building strong ties between the Massachusetts Agricultural College and Hokkaido. After Clark was denied a leave of absence in 1879 to establish a "floating college" — a ship which would carry students and faculty around the world — he resigned.
The Clark Papers include materials from throughout his life, including correspondence with fellow professors and scientists, students in Japan, and family; materials relating to his Civil War service in the 21st Massachusetts Infantry; photographs and personal items; official correspondence and memoranda; published articles; books, articles, television, and radio materials relating to Clark, in Japanese and English; and materials regarding Hokkaido University and its continuing relationship with the University of Massachusetts.

Call no.: RG 6/1 M33
Enjoying one of the longest tenures of any administrator in the history of the University of Massachusetts, William Lawson Machmer served under five presidents across 42 years, helping to guide the university through an economic depression, two world wars, and three name changes. During his years as Dean, Machmer witnessed the growth of the university from fewer than 500 students to almost 3,800, and helped guide its transformation from a small agricultural college into Massachusetts State College (1931) and finally into the University of Massachusetts (1947).
Machmer's papers chronicle the fitful development of the University of Massachusetts from the days of Kenyon Butterfield's innovations of the 1920s through the time of the GI Bill. The collection is particularly strong in documenting the academic experience of students and the changes affecting the various departments and programs at the University, with particular depth for the period during and after the Second World War.

The sound of a chainsaw in the woods rings alarm bells in many people's minds. Few of us like a favourite woodland scene being altered, but felling trees is part of the story and perpetuation of woodlands. In our crowded island, woodlands have survived the farmer's axe precisely because they were (and are) a source of vital material. Wood and timber are the perfect example of a renewable resource, so we have been able to harvest them for thousands of years without destroying the woodlands in the process.
In the past, far more woodlands were managed intensively through the ancient method of producing wood called coppicing. They were managed like that until well into this century - and in some areas still are. Various schemes are promoting coppicing again as a means of producing useful materials and of enhancing the wildlife value there.
Sweet chestnut coppice
© Forestry Commission
Depending on the tree crop, areas of woodland were cut down to stump level. The coppiced poles were easy to cut and could be moved by hand and yielded materials for small buildings, fencing, tools and above all for firewood and charcoal. In other regions, hazel rods were woven into sheep hurdles.
Coppice poles were cut mainly in winter. By the following summer, new green shoots sprouted from the bases or stools and grew into poles ready for cutting again in about 15 years.
Most broadleaved trees were and can be coppiced - including oak, hazel, sweet chestnut and lime - but few conifers will re-sprout in this way. The charcoal burners coppiced the woods on a cycle of about 15 years. Above the coppice grew an overstorey of oak "standards" and these were the raw material for shipbuilding.
Many neglected woods were old coppices - the giveaway is that they are full of multi-stemmed trees all growing from the same base.
A survey in the mid-1960s revealed only 15 to 16,000 ha of simple coppice was still worked. Most of that was sweet chestnut (12,900 ha) with a bit of hazel (1,700 ha). There was also about 11,000 ha of coppice-with-standards. Most working coppice was in South-East England. The area of active coppice has risen sharply, mainly for conservation - but there are now signs of an economically viable revival too. New markets are being developed and old ones revived. The long decline in coppice seems to be over and even reversing.
The ancient skills of coppicing are being relearned.
Coppices - and their associated flora and fauna highly prized in conservation circles - are really semi-natural ecosystems - the legacy of centuries of woodland management.
Deer stocks are at an all-time historical high - and increasing. Succulent new growth on coppice stools is a tempting morsel - and deer browsing can completely suppress any successful re-growth after the coppice is cut. Protecting the newly coppiced area or reducing deer numbers may be essential to get the new growth off to a good start.

Gotham Corp: Sell
By E.J. McMahon
Consider the Gotham Corporation - a multibillion-dollar service conglomerate given up for dead in the mid-1970s and widely written off as an Old Economy dinosaur just a decade ago, only to emerge as one of the great turnaround stories of the 1990s.
When the national economic slowdown began to erode Gotham's revenue outlook in the spring of 2001, the outgoing CEO made a fateful decision not to curb expenses. Instead, gambling on a strong rebound, he balanced the books by drawing down a $3 billion pile of cash accumulated during the boom years.
A year later, Gotham's cash cushion is almost gone and red ink is spreading in the wake of 9/11. A new CEO and board chairman have agreed to cope with the situation by raising some prices, selling some assets, refinancing some debt, cutting expenses slightly and borrowing $1.5 billion to keep the lights on.
The CEO has taken direct control of a troubled, strategically crucial Gotham subsidiary, but he has yet to produce a long-term plan for returning the overall enterprise to solvency and growth. Meanwhile, Gotham's payroll is nearly as large as ever, and its unionized workforce has yet to make a single cost-saving concession.
With losses mounting, big price hikes are rumored to be just around the corner - which can only help Gotham's already lower-priced competitors.
Sound like a good investment to you?
If Gotham Corp. actually existed, its finances would look a lot like New York City's - and its once high-flying stock would now be tumbling down to single digits.
Fortunately for Mayor Bloomberg, New Yorkers and their employers aren't nearly as mobile as investment capital. While some businesses relocated after the attack on the World Trade Center, even the most footloose of New York's 8 million residents aren't pulling up stakes in the face of the city's fiscal problems - not in noticeable numbers, not yet, anyway. The city continues to benefit from a huge store of post-9/11 goodwill and civic patriotism.
But last week's budget agreement between Bloomberg and the City Council provides plenty of grounds for added worry about the future of New York's economy.
If there's any good news in this deal, it's that it could have been much worse. The council had been pushing for a job-destroying combination of tax hikes and spending increases that would have cast a much darker shadow on the city's recovery prospects than Bloomberg's plan, which relied heavily on gimmicks and new debt to close a $5 billion gap, while holding the line on (most) taxes this year.
But because the adopted budget cuts spending by even less than Bloomberg had proposed, the city still faces a shortfall of at least $3.7 billion in fiscal 2004.
That potentially huge budget gap will form the backdrop for the mid-July meeting of the state Emergency Financial Control Board, a sort of supercharged corporate audit committee for the city government. Chaired by Gov. Pataki, the board also includes the governor's would-be Democratic opponent, state Comptroller Carl McCall, along with city Comptroller William Thompson and Bloomberg. Three additional gubernatorial appointees effectively put Pataki in charge of the show.
The purpose of the board's yearly summer meeting is to confirm that the city isn't close to any of the tripwires that would require a state takeover of its finances. The board's staff is expected to answer a set of basic questions.
This is not because anyone thinks the new budget is solidly balanced, but because the mayor is expected to do everything in his power to stop a deficit from developing if his revenue or spending projections prove overly optimistic.
As it now stands, Bloomberg intends to cover $1.5 billion in operating expenses with proceeds from long-term bonds - the municipal equivalent of taking out a second mortgage to pay for groceries. It's a temporary stopgap, permitted this year under an emergency borrowing statute passed in the wake of 9/11.
If the governor and the two comptrollers abide by the usual unwritten election-year protocols (that is, if they behave like most corporate audit committees), they'll react to this unpretty fiscal picture by intoning some platitudes about the challenges of the post-9/11 environment and telling CEO Bloomberg to keep up the good work.
But if they take their jobs as the city's fiscal overseers seriously, they will use next month's meeting as a chance to press Bloomberg to get a jump on next year's problems, before it's too late. He'd probably consider it a favor.
Say this much for government finance, New York-style: The city may not be subject to the same sort of market discipline as a private company, but the accounting, at least, will take place out in the open.

A barn fire in St. Helens spread to trees and brush and burned at least 20 acres Friday.
Pre-evacuation notices have been issued to people living in the area. The alert is to inform them about the potential for evacuation. No one has been told to leave yet.
The fire was reported at 4 p.m. on Pittsburg Road. Firefighters arrived to find the barn fire fully involved.
There was no indication any animals were inside, but it was filled with hay which allowed the fire to spread quickly.
Fire crews from at least six agencies responded to the scene.
No injuries have been reported.

MMA Fighting is reporting that his return bout has been determined:
Welterweight prospect Rory MacDonald will make his return to the UFC in March against Che Mills, MMAFighting.com has confirmed with sources close to the fight.
The Canadian MacDonald, who pulled out of his UFC 140 fight against Brian Ebersole last month due to an injury, will meet Mills at UFC 145 on March 24 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
Mills is 14-4 in his MMA career and won his UFC debut at UFC 138 with a Knockout of the Night (technically a TKO) of Chris Cope in only forty seconds.
We'll have much more on the UFC 145 card as it comes together.

Growth-stock troubles trip up hedge funds in March.
Morningstar's Elizabeth Collins discusses the index's selection process and highlights one of the recent additions.
StockInvestor editor Paul Larson details recent changes to Morningstar's Wide Moat Focus Index, noting how the rally in wide - moat names could have them more fairly priced than lower-quality stocks .
A willingness to look past short-term noise and instead focus on a company's competitive advantages and stewardship serves as a core stock-picking advantage for Morningstar's Matt Coffina.
Recent rebalancing of Morningstar's Wide Moat Focus Index shows that quality stocks aren't nearly as cheap as they were this time last year.
Morningstar's Gaston Ceron addresses the short- and long-term prospects for and opportunities in ICE's takeover of NYSE Euronext.
The Dow is at all-time high levels, but Morningstar's Mike Holt says buying opportunities still exist across all sectors and emphasizes the importance of individual stock selection.
Over the long run, cheap wide - moat stocks have handily outperformed the market, says Morningstar's Heather Brilliant.
After a period of relative calm, the Italian elections and fight over the sequester underscore some of the structural problems facing the global economy; investors should be prepared for volatility, says Morningstar's Jeremy Glaser .

These management teams should be good stewards of shareholder capital in today's uncertain environment.
Morningstar StockInvestor editor Matt Coffina explains why a fairly valued stock should outperform both cash and bonds over the long run.

Former Rep. Soltani of Epsom continues to pepper arresting officer with questions
Soltani contends that when Kear arrested him after he sought to assist in a police pursuit it was in retaliation for his filing a complaint about Kear earlier in the day.
Soltani has described Kear as a "ticking time bomb" who entered Soltani's home in search of a runaway the night before the highway chase, despite Soltani's mother denying Kear entry to the house.
Soltani, who is representing himself, has questioned Kear in great detail about every part of the chase, his arrest and his treatment after the arrest.
Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Michael Valentine is prosecuting the case to prevent a conflict of interest for the Merrimack County Attorney's office.
Although he was initially charged with misdemeanors and violations in connection with his alleged behavior that night, including crossing a double yellow line, Soltani is being tried on a felony charge of reckless conduct, for allegedly driving at high speed and in such a way as to put others in danger, crossing into the northbound lane and forcing vehicles to take evasive action, and a misdemeanor of disorderly conduct for interfering with the apprehension of the vehicle Kear was pursuing.
Soltani told the jury in his opening statement Monday that details are important and he continued to give them plenty.
He asked Kear what he was wearing at the time of his arrest and asked which of two baseball caps he was wearing when arrested, holding up two for the jury, and asking if Kear was familiar with the Coast Guard insignia; he returned to a line of questioning from Monday, about Kear going to Soltani's home the day before the highway pursuit, pressing Kear to admit he entered Soltani's home without consent to retrieve a runaway; he questioned how Kear determined Soltani's speed during the pursuit and challenged whether Kear had properly calibrated his radar.
Soltani also questioned why Kear didn't give him a Miranda warning, prompting Kear to respond that the Miranda warning is given before a custodial interrogation, not for basic name and address questions during the booking process. Soltani had refused to answer those questions for Kear.
Soltani wanted to explore Kear's attempt to question him at the police station and his failure to record the interview as Soltani requested.
"I told you there was a recorder in my bag," said Soltani, saying Kear claimed police didn't have the capability, but there are five digital recorders at the Epsom police station. Turning to face the jury, Soltani said: "He didn't care enough" to borrow one.
Soltani explored Kear's educational background. Does he have a college degree, an associate's degree; has he taken courses since becoming a police officer ? What did Kear do before becoming a police officer at age 30, with Kear saying he worked in the back office of a bank. He wanted to know how Kear learned there was an opening for a police officer in Epsom. What was his grade on the defensive driving course at the New Hampshire Police Academy and did he take any advanced defensive driving courses after leaving the police academy.
Finally, Soltani ran out of questions and Kear was excused and replaced on the stand by Chichester Officer Jonathan Adinolfo, who heard about the pursuit on his radio and headed for North Pembroke Road, where Kear had stopped after breaking off the pursuit as the pursued vehicle passed into Pembroke.
When he arrived, Kear had arrested and handcuffed Soltani after Soltani made a U-turn and pulled in next to Kear's cruiser.
Adinolfo had a "belly band" so Soltani's hands could be cuffed in front of him.
Under questioning by Valentine, Adinolfo said he was standing outside the booking room as Kear asked Soltani questions. Did Adinolfo hear the answers?
"He didn't have any responses," said Adinolfo, who said Soltani volunteered to answer the questions if Adinolfo asked them and willing submitted to fingerprinting by the Chichester officer.
During cross examination, Soltani asked Adinolfo to confirm that Kear had said if Soltani didn't answer the booking questions, he would take Soltani to the county jail. "Yes, he did," responded Adinolfo.
Soltani, seeking to show the jury how cooperative he could be, said to Adinolfo: "I said I would answer any question you wanted, but I didn't want to talk to Kear. . .I was friendly and you were friendly to me."
Adinolfo concurred, but he couldn't confirm Soltani's claims that Kear called the bail commissioner to complain after he had already answered questions for Adinolfo, or whether Soltani had been given a Miranda warning.
Asked how he would describe Soltani's demeanor, Adinolfo said: "Passive."
Adinolfo will be on the stand when the trial resumes at 9:30 Wednesday morning.

32The 5 Best Dressed at the 2013 SAG Awards
Man, if there's something I love, it's the awards season fashion that just dumps on us this time of year. I mean, what a gorgeous bunch of women in gorgeous dresses—I almost can't even take it. It's like Christmas morning when I can go ahead and make these lists.
Above, you saw Elisabeth Moss, who was number five on the list—the remaining four follow. Weigh in with your opinions in the comments!
#4 – Nicole Kidman
#3 – Claire Danes
#2 – Katrina Bowden

2Celebrity Sightings in NYC!
30 Rock's Cerie, played by actress Katrina Bowden, attended a CMJ kick-off party hosted by The Street Syndicate (a small but dedicated media promotions company based in New Jersey) at Rebel NYC on Monday. The party is held annually to mark the start of the week-long Music Marathon and Film Festival. The party offered entertainment by Nada Surf and delicious beers by Lagunitas Brewing Company. Katrina was spotted kissing a gentleman much shorter and much less attractive than she is while watching other attendees sing karaoke. It was shocking how beautiful she is in real life.
On Sunday night, former NBA player Charles Barkley was spotted with friends in one of New York City's finest cigar lounges, The Carnegie Club. Although Sir Charles has a bad boy reputation, he was all class on Sunday buying a round for the entire bar. He looked dapper in a button down striped shirt and was seen chatting it up with former boxer, Renaldo Snipes, and two unknown but beautiful blonds at the bar. Charles Barkley, a current resident of Scottsdale, AZ, was in town to be a guest on The David Letterman Show.

Well fellow Seahawk fans. We made it.
Through the long depths of the off-season, we have persevered in our fandom, finally emerging into a bright new season. Now that football is back, we can stop pretending to care about less important things in our life such as washing the dishes, taking the kids to school, and paying credit card bills.
However, before you kick back, and settle into your armchair, or add to the swelling roar that is the 12th Man, you may want to take a moment, and attempt to convey to your friends/loved ones/parole officer why they will not be seeing you in any useful capacity until February.
After the jump, we'll take a moment to show you the most appropriate way to gently break it to the important entities in your life.
Credit for the idea and original work go to UprootedTexan, thank you for allowing me to post this.
Dear (Spouse/Significant Other/Favorite House pet),
Do you remember when we went to (vacation spot/place of personal significance/Olive Garden)? Those were some fun times, weren't they? I will remember that thing we did at that place until the day I die.
But there are changes coming over the next several months that I thought you should be aware of. Major changes, changes that could affect (the children/the pets/the near-dead ficus in the corner).
We'll start with the basics:
1. Every Sunday, from (1 p.m. EDT/12 p.m. CDT/11 a.m. MDT/10 a.m. PDT) to roughly (11 p.m. EDT/10 p.m. CDT/9 p.m. MDT/8 p.m. PDT), I will have no value to anyone other than watching the Seahawks, drinking (soda/liquor/
hog pisswhatever the hell light beer is) and converting oxygen to carbon dioxide. Do not ask me to (take out the garbage/walk the housepets/water the plant/put on pants). These tasks will not be done, and I will not understand why you're upset with me when they haven't been done.
2. If you see lichen, mildew, or small woodland creatures making a nest on me, please remove them, or at least keep them out of my eyes and mouth, as they will deprive me of football and previously mentioned drinking choices.
3. During non-football days, I promise to at least attempt to be a functional human being capable of things like playing Scrabble, keeping (the kids/pets/houseplant) from playing in traffic too much, and feeding myself without too much difficulty; you know, things that will only require about 25% brainpower. The other 75% will be dedicated to breaking down last week's Seahawks game, thinking about next week's match-up with (inferior non-Seahawks team), and deciding which jersey I'll wear while watching next week's Seahawks game.
4. Any semblance of emotional or psychological stability you've witnessed in the last few months will all be gone by halftime this Sunday. If, at any point, you see or hear me screaming in a fit of rage one second, then smiling calmly the next, do not call the Avalon Center for Mental Health Treatment; I am perfectly sane. If the Seahawks lose (Durga forbid), do not try to console me; it will only make me think of why I need consoling and make me feel even worse. I will require a minimum of three hours before I can be calm enough for rational thought. If they lose in a particularly horrible manner, like what Bill Leavy did to us, you and the (kids/pets/ficus) should probably go stay at a motel for the week, as my head could very possibly explode and you shouldn't have to be bothered with that kind of mess (editor's note: it helps when you make it sound like you're thinking of them)..
5. If you decide to sit and watch the game with me, please do not ask me to explain things like why I call Robert Turbin the "SeaHulk," why the San Francisco 49ers are the worst thing to happen to humanity since soy bacon, the difference between a 4-3 and a 3-4 defense, or anything non-Seahawks related. You should know the first three by now, and I don't know the answer to the fourth, nor do I intend to look up the answer during the game.
In conclusion, (name of spouse/significant other/housepet/ficus), I won't be gone, but I won't exactly be here, either. I will be a husk of my former self surrounding a core draped in College Navy, Action Green, Wolf Grey, and White. Do not fear, you'll see me again in February after the Seahawks win the Super Bowl, and we'll be able to pick up our lives where we left off.
Farewell, and I will try to squeeze in thoughts of you between thinking up jokes about Cardinals Quarterbacks.
(Love/Sincerely/Stay Out Of The Garbage!),
(Your Name)
P.S.: We do have (soda/liquor/
hog pisswhatever the hell light beer is) in the fridge, right?

CONYERS - A second consecutive trip to the Class AAAA semifinals wasn't enough for three Salem soccer stars.Brittany Beaumont and Jordan Young, who graduated in June, and rising senior Taylor Gates, will be competing for Gwinnett Soccer Association 92 Phoenix Red in the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championship today through Sunday in Lancaster, Mass. The 17-under team, comprised of 16 players in seven different Georgia towns, begins a schedule of three round robin games at 11:30 a.m. today. Beaumont, the Citizen's Salem Athlete of the Year and a Clemson commitment, is the most-seasoned, nationally, of the three. She began playing with GSA as a 14-year old, and head coach Campbell Chapman has seen the value the 5-foot-7 midfielder brings to the pitch. "Brittany's been with us for a number of years," Chapman said. "She's a hard-working girl. She's got the ability to score goals and make assists as well." Young, who will continue her career at the University of Georgia, has impressed Chapman with her lightning-quick speed. "(Young has) got the one component you can't coach - speed," Chapman said. "She's probably one of the fastest girls in this age group anywhere. She's a raw talent." Gates, the only one of the three with time left at Salem, and the only goal scorer in the semifinal loss to Whitewater in May, is one of GSA's more recent additions. "She's given us the strength and is a very dominant presence in the middle of the field," Chapman said of Gates. "The three Salem girls, obviously they're committed. They bring different looks to the team and they're fun girls to be around. I like them a lot." The Phoenix doesn't have to worry about getting motivated for the round robin. They open with the defending national champion Dallas Texans and play last season's runner-up, Eclipse Select from Chicago. GSA 92 finishes with PDA Fire, a New Jersey team that won the Eastern championship - GSA grabbed the Southern title). "We have a tough draw," Chapman said. "(But) we're one step away from being crowned the national champions; you win here and you're the No. 1 team in the country." The dynamite Seminoles are hoping they can help. Kurt Aschermann Jr. can be reached at email@example.com.

Merriman a high-risk, high-reward proposition
The nickname of Chargers OLB Shawne Merriman may be "Lights Out," but that term certainly doesn't describe his play over the last two seasons.

Chargers part ways with Tomlinson
In the culmination of an event many months in the making, the Chargers officially released RB LaDainian Tomlinson on Monday after the back struggled through the 2009 season.
Chance to play WR could lure Osgood from San Diego
It's been well documented how many key free agents the Chargers will have this offseason, but one player who has somewhat flown under the radar is Kassim Osgood, the club's only integral element who will be unrestricted.
Key decisions lie ahead for Chargers' Smith
