Tornado exposes stolen items in man's home
Updated On: Jul 28 2014 11:00:00 PM CDT
One home in the Rock Springs area of Kingsport was right in the path of a tornado Sunday. Once the community came to help pick up the pieces, they discovered something much worse.
Ed Cleek lives on Rock Springs Drive. Right down the hill at 1912 Rock Springs Road is where Jerrod Christian used to live; Christian now sits in the Kingsport City Jail after Cleek saw something belonging to him in the pile of debris.
"The first thing that he noticed was this bright red air compressor that he just reported stolen the day before, so obviously his eye was drawn to it," says Thomas Patton with the Kingsport Police Department.
Police were called shortly after, and in addition to finding the compressor, they also found Cleek's string trimmer and welder.
"Basically, the end result was we were able to solve two burglaries out of this damage from the tornado," says Patton.
Mr. Cleek tells News 5 he's just happy to have his property back.
Officer Patton tells News 5 Christian was arrested the day before on an unrelated issue.
He's being charged with two counts of burglary, one count of theft of property over $1,000, and one count of theft of property $500.

Former Ruth's Chris Steakhouse CEO William L. Hyde Jr. is swapping broilers for rotisseries. Hyde, who resigned from his post of the then-89-unit steakhouse chain in late 2003, has teamed up with former City Grill (Atlanta) chef Roger Kaplan to license the Zea Woodfire Grill concept from a New Orleans restaurant development firm called The Taste Buds. The 180-seat upscale casual restaurant featuring rotisserie-grilled meats and a patio with a fireplace will land in the Shops at Granite Park at Highway 121 and the Dallas North Tollway in January. The pair plans to open up to three more Zeas in Dallas, Fort Worth and Southlake under the Zea Management L.L.C. moniker.

Middle East: During the last 48 hours of the continued ceasefire, humanitarian workers have delivered food to hundreds of thousands of people, repaired water and sanitation infrastructure, re-stocked medical supplies, and some of the 520,000 displaced Palestinians have returned to their homes. However, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator remarked the scale of needs remains "unprecedented in the Gaza Strip."
Middle East; Ebola; South Sudan
Middle East: At today's informal session of the General Assembly on Gaza the SG remarked that the most recent ceasefire has held since yesterday at 8 a.m. local time.

Middle East; Ebola; Syria
Middle East: The SG commended Israeli and Palestinian parties for committing to a 72-hour ceasefire that took place at 8 a.m. local time today. He urges all parties to abide by the ceasefire and commence peace talks in Cairo to address underlying issues and agree on a durable ceasefire to sustainably stop the violence. The UN lends its full support toward these efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Homelessness
How many homeless people live in Chicago?
An August 2014 analysis by CCH estimates that 138,575 Chicagoans were homeless in the course of the 2013-14 school year. This is 19.4% more than the 116,042 people who were homeless a year earlier. The total is based, in part, on the rising enrollment of homeless students in Chicago Public Schools (CPS) – 22,144 in FY14. Eighty-eight percent of homeless students lived doubled-up, usually in overcrowded conditions in the homes of others due to hardship, according to Policy Director Julie Dworkin.
CPS identified a record 22,144 homeless students in the 2013-14 school year. This is an 18.6% increase from the entire prior school year. Of this, 98.2% were children of color and 20% have been diagnosed with disabilities or developmental delays. Homeless students included 2,508 unaccompanied youth, teens who were homeless and living without parent or guardian.
In the U.S. Conference of Mayors Hunger & Homelessness Survey for 2013 (released Dec. 11, 2013), Chicago officials said that the total number of homeless families increased 11.4% during the year-long survey period (through August 2013). Nationally, however, the 25-city survey found homelessness increased an average of 7%. City officials projected that the number of individuals and families who are homeless who are homeless would "increase moderately" during 2014, though city resources would be unchanged.
Where can I call for help for a homeless person or family in the city of Chicago?
Please phone Chicago City Services at "311".
Callers will be transferred to a Homelessness Prevention Call Center. The center is housed and operated by Catholic Charities, with services available in multiple languages.
Where can I call for help for a homeless person in suburban Cook County?
Phone (877) 4-Cook-15 or (877) 426-6515.
Callers with hearing problems can access specialized TTY equipment at (312) 948-6817.
Where can I call for legal aid or advice for a homeless person or family living in Chicago or the suburbs?
Phone the CCH Law Project's toll-free helpline, at (800) 940-1119. Referrals are available for people living outside the metropolitan area.
How many homeless people live in Illinois?
CCH cannot prepare a statewide estimate using the methodology that we use to prepare the Chicago estimate. An annual report by the Illinois Department of Human Services states that about 48,000 people are served in state-funded shelters each year.
Homeless school enrollment is a reliable barometer of family homelessness. The Illinois State Board of Education says public schools identified 59,112 homeless students in the 2013-14 school year, up 7.7% in a year. That is more than double (221%) what it was five years earlier, when 26,688 homeless students were counted in 2008-09. The 2008-09 school year is the only year that Illinois contributed state funds to the federal funds for homeless school programs; $3 million was allocated through state grants to 36 school districts statewide.
Outside of Chicago, school districts reporting the largest homeless enrollment in 2013-14 were Rockford SD 205, 2,277 (up 43% in a year); Peoria SD 150, 859 (up 11%); Kane County SD U-46, 806 (up 16%); Harvey SD 152, 753 (up 8%); Springfield SD 186, 734 (up 9%); Granite City (Madison County) CUSD 9, 544 (down 1.5%); and Evanston CCSD 65, 481 (61%).
What are the age and family demographics of Chicagoans experiencing homelessness?
Per the August 2014 CCH analysis, people living in families totaled 70,028, or 50.5% of Chicago's homeless population. There were 48,743 children (35% of the city's total, estimated at 138,575) and 21,285 parents or grandparents (15%).
Unaccompanied youth (ages 14 through 17) is estimated at 4,500 (3%).
Single adults totaled 64,047 (46%). This adult total includes 7,686 unaccompanied youth who are ages 18 to 21.
How many unaccompanied youth lived in Chicago?
Unaccompanied youth are teens who are homeless and living on their own, without the support of family or guardian.
CCH estimates that 12,186 youth (ages 14 to 21) made up 8.8% percent of Chicago' s homeless population in the year that ended June 30, 2014. Of this, the Chicago school system counted 2,508 unaccompanied youth living on their own and attending its schools.
An estimated 25,000 unaccompanied youth live in Illinois, per a comprehensive 2005 state-run study on which CCH collaborated. There are not nearly enough shelter beds for homeless youth. Since mid-2013, there are 546 youth beds across Illinois – 339 youth beds in Chicago, 117 in the suburbs, and 90 beds downstate. CCH advocated for Chicago's increased funding for overnight youth shelter beds, with 114 low-threshold (overnight) shelter beds added since 2011.
What are some demographics of homeless people being served by Chicago shelters and housing programs?
For the U.S. Conference of Mayors 2013 Survey on Hunger & Homelessness, the city of Chicago reported that 12% were employed but homeless, 6% were veterans, 4% were HIV positive, 30% physically disabled, and 28% severely mentally ill.
Chicago also reported having 2,260 emergency shelter beds available in 2013, 50 (2.2%) more than a year earlier. It also claimed 3,381 transitional housing beds, 84 (2.5%) more than in 2013, and 7,745 permanent supportive housing slots, 256 (3.4%) more than a year earlier. By 2014, the city reported that it anticipates a "moderate increase" in need, but the same level of city resources.
"To accommodate an increase in demand, (Chicago) shelters have had to increase the number of persons and families that can sleep in a single room," Chicago reported in the 2013 U.S. Mayors report.
How many homeless people are survivors of domestic violence?
The 2013 U.S. Conference of Mayors survey says Chicago reported that 20% of its homeless residents were domestic violence victims; in 2012, the city said it was 33%.
In a comprehensive 2004 study, 56% of women in Chicago shelters reported that they had experienced domestic violence, according to the Center for Impact Research. Also, 36% said they had experienced physical or sexual abuse in their homes as children, according to the report, Pathways To and From Homelessness: Women and Children in Chicago Shelters.
What is the racial breakdown of homeless people in Chicago?
According to a 2007 point-in-time count by the city of Chicago, the racial demographic of the homeless population was 75% African American, 16% white, 6% Latino, and 3% other ethnicity. Racial demographics are no longer included by cities in the U.S. Conference of Mayors' survey. Chicago Public Schools reported that 98.2% of its homeless students were children of color in 2013-14.
What income is needed to house a small household in Illinois and in Chicago?
According to the annual Out of Reach study (March 2014) by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the Illinois housing wage is $17.34 an hour, 20th among the states (rates range up to $31.54 in Hawaii). This is based on Fair Market Rent (FMR) of $902 for a 2-bedroom apartment in Illinois, and assumes a 40-hour work week for 52 weeks a year. In order to afford this level of rent and utilities – without paying more than 30% of income on housing – a household must earn $36,064 annually. With the Illinois minimum wage at $8.25 an hour since July 2010, a household needs two (2.1) minimum wage earners working full-time.
The housing wage is even higher – $18.83 an hour – for those living in Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, where FMR for a market-rate 2-bedroom apartment averages $979. The most expensive U.S. city is San Francisco, where the hourly housing wage is $37.62.
One in every four renter households in the U.S. is an extremely low-income household. That's 10.2 million American households that average no more than $19,706 in income, according to the detailed study, Out of Reach 2014.

It's like a scene out of Jurassic Park. Swamp lakes, green algae, and oak trees with long tufts of hairy growths swaying eerily in the wind. To complete the picture I hear a long, sonorous growl coming from somewhere on my left followed by a rustling and…how can I put it…a sniffle-snort-grunt coming from right in front of me. It feels exactly like I've time-warped back into the primordial goo of a past Ice Age and yet I know, consciously, that I'm still somewhere in modern-day Florida.
As it turns out the hairy green tufts are Spanish Moss, the growl is an alligator (the bigger the growl, the bigger the gator in case you'd like to know) and the rustling brings forth the surprising picture of an Armadillo. It's the nature of the swamp and once you get over your initial terror, it's rather a cool place.
I'd never actually seen an Armadillo "in the flesh" so to speak until I came to Florida, and I have to admit the first time I did I burst out laughing. It's almost impossible to believe that an animal can look so prehistoric and yet so ridiculous at the same time. The "little armored one" as the Spanish named them are leather-shelled animals with long, sharp claws (for digging) offset with soft, pink noses and hairy legs. Their closest living relatives are anteaters and sloths, and the most common american version, the Nine-Banded Armadillo (Dasypus Novemcinctus) ranges all the way from Florida to Nebraska. I spent a good hour "tracking" the elusive little animal who, despite its apparent clumsiness and almost complete blindness can really leg it when it wants to.
The Spanish Moss I find equally enthralling. This hairy, green growth is actually not a moss, but an Epiphyte, a kind of "air-plant" that grows solely by picking up nutrients and water in the air. The long, grey-green-scaled tentacles elongate and intertwine like a complicated dance up to 20-feet long and propagate by seed and fragments that blow in the wind. It's a gypsy of the air and it grows all over the South, reminding us that life flows to a different rythm down here.
The gators…well, lets just say I'm happy to leave them be for now. I think I'll stick to the rest of nature and stay in my own little naive dream of prehistoric fun. Now, if just Tarzan would come along……

We have always maintained that there are no live armadillos. They exist only as flattened splats on highways. You've proved us wrong!

I kind of assumed they were fiction too
Don says:
The Armadillo is, indeed, a curious creature. The nine-banded, common in the Texas Hill Country, always births 4 identical offspring which are pink in color until they mature and follow their mother in a single file where ever she goes. I have seen this in the woods of our ranch in the Hill Country.
Enjoy your travel west through Texas.

Cool!! A piece of trivia I did not know. Excellent info! Nina

Hi Nina and Paul,
We had our solar system installed this week (using the good info from your blog). We were fortunate to have Marvin from http://precisionrvmobile.com/ install it before he left Florida. You were so right … his workmanship is outstanding. Thanks !
libertatemamo says:
How wonderful!! I am so happy you liked Marvin as much as we did. Do let us know how the solar works out for you. So far we're really liking it. We leave our charger off most of the time, even when we're hooked up, simply so we can ooh and aah over the amps coming in. Can't wait to fully test our system out West. Nina

Julianne Moore muses on mullets, moms and making out with women
Julianne Moore seems to be everywhere these days — much to our delight.
The Advocate caught up with the very busy actress recently and, among other things, she shared her thoughts on recent lesbian roles, including playing a lesbian in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and The Kids Are All Right.
On whether she is drawn to lesbian parts because the "sexual inclination" differs from hers:
Not necessarily sexual inclination but certainly something different temperament-wise. I was very attracted to playing Kat in Pippa Lee because she's very tough and inscrutable.
On Kat's hair style:
My mullet? I chose that mullet, man! It was a half-wig. I was going for a Jane Fonda in Klute thing.
On responsibility for respectfully representing the LGBT community in her roles:
Lisa Cholodenko and I talked about that a lot with The Kids Are All Right. It was important for her not to make a politically correct movie … that idea of being PC about everything is no longer appealing to her. Thankfully, I really do believe that we're past all that. You don't want to be so careful about sexuality that it becomes precious.
On what drew her to The Kids Are All Right:
I've always loved Lisa's work … After High Art, I ran into her at some "Women in Film" thing, and I said, "Hey, why didn't I see that script? You should've sent that to me!"
I liked how The Kids Are All Right presented a gay family as a regular family. It's about two women who've been together since college, have children they love, and have the same kind of stresses as any couple.
On whether we'll see action between her and Annette Bening:
[Laughs] Well, yeah, there's some stuff, I guess. You'll have to wait and see.
On her third Freckleface Strawberry children's book:
In my third book, which is called Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants Patrick: Best Friends Forever, Windy Pants Patrick has two moms. My children have plenty of friends who have two mommies or two daddies, so they really believe they have the choice to marry a man or a woman. By the time they're adults, I hope that's a reality for everyone.
Oh, Moore also answered the question we all have wanted to ask: did her youth involve any shenanigans with girls?
Honestly, it was mostly girls kind of sitting around and telling each other dirty stories. There was a lot of that, actually, but that's about it.
Oh well. We can still dream, can't we? And if you haven't seen A Single Man yet, go. It's not a feel-good movie, by any means, but Moore very well might be taking home a Golden Globe for it Sunday.

The mentality of a conformed slave.
OP modified in appreciation of beards
... damn son
well im playing a support now until i get raped in 2 seconds.
Aeolian Melodies
My mentality is:
When I want to have fun playing support, I play DotA.
There's just so much more to do. Sure...you can babysit and play harassbot. Or you can Jungle. Or you can creepstack. Or you can creeppull. Or you can roam gank. Or you can grab that gigantic ****ing rock guy, teleport him all the way across the map, have him throw you on top of somebody's head so your little mini yous go off like bombs while stunning them, and get a pretty much instant kill.
Why would I want to support in League where my impact on the game, and my enjoyment of it, is so comparatively mediocre?
