Is there anything more annoying than being lectured by your son on a topic about which you have long lectured him? Here's the Space Cadet last Sunday on the subject of our shed: ''The shed is a real mess. You can't find a chisel when you need one.''
Oh, really. Now why would that be?
Five years ago the chisel was right there, on the chisel shelf, between the other chisels, all lined up in order of blade width. The workbench gleamed with a light coating of teak oil, a single hammer resting idly on its surface, ready for use. A sequence of saws rose against the wall much like the pipes of a church organ. A sheaf of sandpaper nestled in the second drawer down.
The shed was perfect, aided by the fact that my own incompetence as a handyman meant I hardly used the place.
Into this Garden of Eden marched the Space Cadet. At age 14 he developed an interest in building things. It was a tsunami from which the shed has never recovered.
With each project, the devastation was worse. He was an earthquake. He was a flood. He was the Roman army marching on Carthage, leaving the fields salted and crops burnt.
At the end of each project, I'd instruct him to clean up but somehow it never happened. I'd be forced to enter the devastated region to try to reassert order. The chisels would be teased from beneath piles of sawdust and placed back on their shelf. The screwdrivers would be picked up off the floor - the floor! - and slotted back in their box. The nails upended from their jar on the bench - upended! - would be placed back in the jar.
I didn't mind the first 20 or 30 times. It was good to see him having an interest. Then I realised the problem: every time the shed was clean, he'd begin another project. A cleaned-up shed was an incitement to fresh activity.
''Why didn't you make him clean up after himself?'' I hear the question whistling by. I choose to ignore it. Sometimes one's parenting is imperfect, and such imperfections bring their own punishment without also having to address the jury in the matter of a plea in mitigation.
And so I clean up after him. Yet, knowing that each clean-up will bring forth a new project, the gap between cleaning grows ever larger. Until slowly, it extends to never.
That's where we are now. I'm on strike. I haven't cleaned up the shed since the beginning of the year. How bad could it get, I asked myself? The answer was: very bad. Soon it was difficult to get in the door. By turning this way and that, stepping over toolboxes and squeezing past teetering piles of timber, you could well come across an area of empty floor big enough to stand upon.
From that vantage point, you could stare into the Stygian gloom and hope that chance might cause your eye to alight upon the tool that you wished to use. Not so much a needle in a haystack as an adjustable spanner in a solid cube of crap.
Surely, at this point, the Space Cadet would clean up the shed. Not quite. Instead, he moves his carpentry operation on to the outdoor wooden table, which in summers past had been the setting for barbecues, a few friends sitting around quaffing chardonnay and discussing the latest developments in the literary world, but which now features a bolted-on belt sander, a drop saw, a large pile of pine offcuts and an old recycling crate full of tools going rusty, given the outdoor table is not entirely under cover.
I exaggerate, but only as to the elevated nature of the discussions we once enjoyed around the now-destroyed table. Jocasta says she'd like the table back. She says the Space Cadet is like a colonising army seizing more and more territory, crushing the local populace until life itself loses all meaning.
I say: ''You're comparing your younger son to the Taliban?''
''Pretty much,'' she answers, ''although without the oppressive mediaevalist ideology.''
Still I refuse to clean up the table. If we wait long enough, the Space Cadet will be forced to act. Which brings us to last Sunday and his comment: ''The shed is a real mess. You can't find a chisel when you need one.'' ''Really,'' I reply, ''that's unfortunate.''
''I have plans,'' he says, ''to clean it out and set it up properly.''
''Good idea,'' I say, as if the thought surprises me with its freshness and novelty.
So he removes everything from the shed and places it all on the back lawn - benches, shelves, piles of timber and bags of concrete.
He repaints the interior and scrubs the floor. He installs new lighting. That was early in the week. Then it started raining.
The rain, I must say, didn't do a lot for the bags of concrete. We now have a near-empty shed and a backyard that looks like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
The wooden table, though, is free from tools - all of them given pride of place in the newly cleaned-out shed.
Lunch anyone?

Here's a little trad jazz gem: a set of songs by the Original Tuxedo Jazzband, recorded in 1964 in Baden Baden, Germany. That's bandleader Albert "Papa" French on banjo; clarinetist Joseph "Cornbread" Thomas also handles vocals.
The legendary bluesman John Smith Hurt, AKA Mississippi John Hurt (~1892-1966), left sharecropping for a brief recording career with Okeh Records in 1928, cutting 78s like "Frankie" and "Avalon Blues". The records didn't sell, and Hurt eventually returned to farming. Decades later, he was rediscovered and recorded again in the mid-1960s.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No Andy Williams, not Christmas, the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the unchallenged greatest music and culture event on the planet. I hope you have had a spectacular 2 weeks and paced your partying; one more great day ahead at the Fairgrounds. For the record, I want Bruce Springteen's passion and energy.
Lots going on first thing this morning, and since this is the last day I expect you all to be out there – The Creole String Beans, Los Po-Boy-Citos and The N.O. Cottonmouth Kings. After a short break check out Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk with special guest Art "Poppa Funk" Neville, James "12" Andrews and the Zion Harmonizers celebrating their 75th anniversary. Next up catch some Roddie Romero and Leroy Jones. People say Arcade Fire is very popular, and Chick Corea is about the same time. I am guessing if you want to be close to either of these acts you need to be there very early. For closers, how about the incomparable Bobby Lounge, John Fogarty, Chubby Carrier (ain't no party like a Chubby party), and, of course, the new tradition, Trombone Shorty.
Remember to practice the "Walk By", stroll by the many different stages to see bands that you have never heard of for a song or two. I promise that you will discover something fabulous you never even know existed. Thanks for coming and, as always, Go Hear Some Life Local Music!

DMX was in trouble with the law again on Tuesday night when he was arrested in South Carolina.
The hip-hop star, real name Earl Simmons, was a passenger in a car which was pulled over by police officers on suspicion of making an illegal turn, and the cops detained him on a previous warrant which was issued for his arrest.
The warrant reportedly stems from a previous case when he was accused of driving without a valid license.
DMX became agitated during his arrest and suffered an asthma attack, according to TMZ, and paramedics were called to the scene to give him the all-clear before he was taken into custody.
The website reports he is slated to appear in court on Wednesday. DMX was last arrested on July 26, and he has been in trouble with the law on numerous occasions over the last few months.

Born: 09/21/1950
Birth Place: Wilmette, Illinois, USA
Born Sept. 21, 1950 in Wilmette, IL, Murray was raised in a large Irish Catholic family, the fifth of nine children to his father, Edward, a lumber salesman, and his mother, Lucille, a mailroom clerk at a hospital supply company who supported the family on her own when Murray's father died in 1967. Though a smart kid, Murray was a poor student who worked, ironically, as a caddy at the Indian Hill Golf Club to pay his Catholic school tuition and began performing in school musicals so he could dance with girls. After graduating Loyola Academy in 1968, Murray matriculated at Regis College, a school run by Jesuits where he had mild ambitions of becoming a doctor. But his sophomore year, Murray ...

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Cavaliers will be hoping the
third time is once again the charm when it comes to this year's NBA Draft.
For the third time in franchise history, the Cavaliers came out on top in
Tuesday's Draft Lottery to secure the rights to the No. 1 overall pick in the
June 27 event.
Cleveland indeed hit the jackpot the first two times it won the lottery,
earning the opportunity to select four-time league MVP LeBron James in 2003
and current All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving in 2011.
The Cavaliers, coming off a 24-58 season in which Irving missed 23 games due
to injuries, had the third-best odds to win the top choice at 15.6 percent.
Orlando, which owned the best odds at 25 percent after finishing a league-
worst 20-62, will choose second following Tuesday's draw.
Washington wound up as the biggest climber after becoming the last of the
three teams selected during the random draw. The Wizards had the seventh-
fewest ping-pong balls among the 14 eligible non-playoff teams.
Charlotte, which had the second-best odds for the top choice at 19.9 percent,
did not have its name drawn and will own the fourth overall pick, with
Phoenix, New Orleans, Sacramento, Detroit, Minnesota and Portland rounding out
the top 10.
Philadelphia, Toronto, Dallas and Utah were slotted into spots 11-14, though
Oklahoma City owns the Raptors' pick as part of last October's blockbuster
trade with Houston involving James Harden.
Cleveland will have the opportunity to choose first for the fifth time. In
addition to James and Irving, the Cavs took center Brad Daugherty No. 1
overall in 1986 and Austin Carr with the top selection in 1971.
Whom Cleveland will decide on this year, assuming it keeps the pick, is still
up for debate. There is no slam-dunk choice to go first overall, with Kentucky
center Nerlens Noel, Kansas guard Ben McLemore, Georgetown forward Otto Porter
and Michigan point guard Trey Burke all possible candidates.
The 2013 NBA Draft will take place at the Barclays Center, home of the
Brooklyn Nets, on June 27.

Great Little Backpack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm very impressed with the Karve backpack by Osprey. The compartments are just the right size for my everyday items for work and the bladder hose sleeve is pretty sweet.
Only things that I dislike would be the small front pocket zipper makes it really difficult to pull items out of the little pouch (ie: iphone) and my bit valve cracked during the first use.
Other than these two small things, this backpack is great!
Large bottom strap for fat skis!
Top Strap, Snowboard attachment
You can configure this one of two way depending on what you are carrying

Top Strap for skiis
You can store it in the middle compartment when skis are not strapped on
Small Front Pocket
Large Central Compartment
Nice ski pack.
Just got the Karve 11. I ordered it because I wanted a nice small pack i could wear around the ski hill and have to option of strapping on my gear if i wanted to hike up a bit for that nice pow!
Keep in mind that I have yet to wear it skiing so this is my first impression.
The fit feels great. It is nice a stream lined and the size feels perfect for me, with or without all my snow gear on.
It has great storage space with a nice central compartment to fit clothing and hydration pack and two other smaller compartments for goggles, cell phone etc...
The straps to carry my skis looks large enough that I should be able to put on some nice wide skis ro snowboard.
I got an M/L I am 181 cm and weight 165 lbs.
I'll update my post when I've used it a few times. Giving 4 stars because I haven't put it through the ringer yet :P

can the pack fit a pair of hiking shoes?...
can the pack fit a pair of hiking shoes?
I wouldn't bet on a pair of full on high-boots, but at 670 cu inches in the m/l you should be able to fit a pair of hiking shoes just fine.
Can the pack fit the Geigerrig 3L Hydration...
Can the pack fit the Geigerrig 3L Hydration Engine? It's 16" high and 7" wide.
This is designed to fit up to the 3L HydraForm Reservoir which measures out at 15.5 x 6.25 x 4.5 inches. Anything more than that might fit but it will be snug.
Big enough to put an ipad in?
Big enough to put an ipad in?
Hi Bob Bowen,
Thanks for the question. The dimensions of an iPad with cover is usually 10" by 8" and since the S/M size is 17.5" by 12" an iPad should fit in just fine.
Will this pack fit a 3L Camelbak bladder,...
Will this pack fit a 3L Camelbak bladder, spare pair of gloves, socks, and goggle lenses, a multitool/knife/spare tubes/small headlamp/compact first aid kit, cell phone, small point and shoot camera and a Contour HD, small lunch/a couple Clif bars and an XL hardshell?
Looking for something lower profile than my Dakine Heli Pro DLX 20L for all day lift served adventures and winter MTBing and I'm debating between this, a BD Bandit, or an Osprey Karve 16 if 11L just isn't enough volume for my packing list.
For skiing I could probably go down to a 2L bladder if I needed to and do a 3L bladder and softshell or rain/wind jacket for MTB.
You are asking to fit quite a bit into this small pack. I would move up to the Karve 16 IMO.
Things I fit in my Karve 11--2L reservoir, down layer, 2 Clif Shots, a pair of sunglasses, a shovel blade, extra gloves, and my skins. All that fit in there barely and I was wishing I had the 16L. I agree with Mike, go Karve 16.
The 16 is perfect, and does have compression straps to really shrink it down. I have this and the BD Bandit, I choose this one everytime, more pockets, smarter design.
Can you use either the 2L or 3L reservoir...
Can you use either the 2L or 3L reservoir with the Karve 11?
Either will work just fine.

Forgive me if this has already been posted, I couldn't find a mention with a quick scan of the topics.
Mike Taylor was mentioned in a story in the new SI about the NBA developmental league.
Just a short blurb about him leaping over a defender impressing scouts who then were informed he played for UCLA. Mike was interviewed later and said something to the extent of: "I'm not sure where they got UCLA. I played for Iowa State"

Mike screwed up a few times, and lost his scholarship as a result. End of punishment. I hope he has learned from his experience, and he is a Cyclone.

You have got to be kidding me. Just because he made some dumb decisions means we erase all of our memories about him. I don't think so.
with lucca and mike this year i think we might be a legit tourney contender and i think we get in. I liked mike, he made mistakes i forgive him
I think he is definitely better for having been here... he made some mistakes, but everybody deserves forgiveness if they make an effort to better themselves. I'm happy to see him playing well.

Then are you going to say Lucca isn't a Cyclone? MT played in 30 more games as a Cyclone than Lucca has...
Mike is a cyclone to me. He wanted to be here and he played hard. You may not have the same personal ideals of the man next to you in battle, but if he is fighting for the same cause as you, he is a brother.
The word is that Mike T wants to finish his degree at ISU as well. I think graduating from ISU pretty much solidifies that he is a cyclone.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
Most of his 'trouble' he caused was not much worse than most of us caused in college.

On the obverse, the traditional goddess of victory, holding a palm in her left hand and a winner's crown in her right. A design used since the 1928 Games in Amsterdam, created by Florentine artist Giuseppe Cassioli (ITA -1865-1942) and chosen after a competition organised by the International Olympic Committee in 1921. For these Games, the picture of victory is accompanied by the specific inscription: "XVIII OLYMPIAD TOKYO 1964". On the reverse, an Olympic champion carried in triumph by the crowd, with the Olympic stadium in the background. N.B: From 1928 to 1968, the medals for the Summer Games were identical. The Organising Committee for the Games in Munich in 1972 broke new ground by having a different reverse which was designed by a Bauhaus representative, Gerhard Marcks.
More info
It recalls the official emblem, composed of the Olympic rings superimposed on the emblem of the Japanese national flag, representing the rising sun. There was a total of four official posters, all designed by Yusaku Kamekura. They were all made by photoengraving using several colours, highlighting the technology of the Japanese printing industry. The posters themselves received a number of prizes for their excellence, including the Milan Prize for poster graphics. 100,000 copies were made.
"The games of the XVIII Olympiad, Tokyo 1964: the official report of the Organizing Committee" was published in 1966 in three languages, French (for the first time since Amsterdam 1928), English and Japanese. It was composed of two volumes.Tokyo 1964 Volume 1
Tokyo 1964 Volume 2

Display Cases for Every Need
If you're not sure if you need display cases, consider the following situations where display cases are infinitely useful.
School Displays
No school is complete without a couple of prominently located display cases. School display cases are great for showing off trophies that your school's sports teams have won, for presenting class projects to the school, even for showing off pictures and special items of classes past. If you're a school administrator, you'll definitely want to look into some of these charming, affordable display cases.
Home Collections
Almost everyone collects something and what better way to show off your collection than with a handsome display case. Whether it's model cars, action figures, baseball cards, coins or whatever has caught your fancy, you probably want to show off your painstakingly assembled collection for all to see. A classic wood and glass fabric back or mirror back display case is just the way to do it.
Business Merchandise
It's hard to sell your items unless your customers can see them, but some items are too valuable to be just left out in the open. You can show off your most prize wares under glass with a solid, secure, locking display case from Sam's Club.
So whether you've known you need a good display case all along, or are just realizing it now, you know where to go. Look through all the fantastic, affordable display case options for Sam's Club and find the one that is just right for showing off all of your favorite treasures.

Mah Jong Tiles Game Overview
Can you spot a good match?In this puzzle game based on the popular (but more complicated) Mah Jong, you match tiles in pairs to eliminate them from the board. Clear the board of all tiles to win the game.
1.Select a tile layout. You can scroll through the options by clicking the green arrow to the right or left of the layout image. Then click Start.
2.Click two similar tiles to eliminate them. The tiles can be either exact matches or merely in the same category, such as flowers or seasons, but they cannot be between other tiles.
Tips and Strategies
· Compare the icons and the numbers on each tile. Just because two tiles have the same number on them doesn't mean they will match.
· Work from the top down and outside in whenever possible.
· Watch carefully for similar themes between tiles. You will be used to matching icons, but while the icons for the summer and autumn tiles do not match, their seasons theme does match.
· Use the tile preview window to help identify which tile you have selected. It will help you to find its match.
· Click Undo to take back a move you decide against. You can undo as many moves as you like.
· The bonus timer is ticking off points as you play. Work fast to clear the board to earn as many bonus points as you can.

We have a new computer and have done a successful install in the Administrator account (everything works) but want to access the Zimbra Desktop from a Standard User account on the same machine. We can not seem to get a shortcut to work, and have tried installing ZD from the standard account... install process looks OK but then no shortcut and Zimbra doesn't show up in programs. [also during the install it says "a previous version exists and must be uninstalled.... so we continued]
Even tried temporarily changing the Standard User identity to be an Administrator... still no joy.
Any suggestions / solutions would be greatly appreciated. (We read an old post similar to this one, but it had no replies.
Thank you

What you may not have learned in kindergarten is that sharing has limits. For example, the Denver Public Library might not be pleased if you published one of its online photos in your family history. The author of Springfield County Founders would be similarly underwhelmed if you photocopied chapter seven for your family's entire California contingent. And Aunt Sue probably wouldn't consider it a personal favor if you submitted her GEDCOMs to GenCircles without first getting her OK.
US copyright laws dictate the dos and don'ts of using other people's research—even when it's about your own ancestors. Unfortunately, those laws are notoriously bewildering, even to attorneys and judges. So how do well-intentioned genealogists like you get past the legal mumbo jumbo and make sure you stay on the right side of the law? Don't upload another family file or duplicate another photo without reading this essential (plain-English) guide to genealogists' common copyright questions.
The law automatically protects original works—you don't have to register them with the US Copyright Office. It's a good idea, though: By registering your published family history or cookbook, you make your copyright a matter of public record. You'll have legal advantages if you ever go to court over a violation.

Global Logistics Rents to Grow More than 5 Percent Annually
October 16, 2013 - SCMR Editorial
Prologis, Inc., a leading global owner, operator and developer of industrial real estate, recently published an in-depth analysis of global rents for logistics facilities in a paper titled "Entering the Sweet Spot in the Cycle for Logistics Real Estate: An Extended Rental Rate Expansion."
In the report, the company's research team estimates overall rents will grow by more than 5 percent per year from 2014 to 2017, reaching a total increase of 20 to 25 percent during the four-year period. This outlook is supported by a trend in structural drivers and a recovery in operating fundamentals.
"Rents today still don't broadly support new construction, but tightening vacancy rates are reversing that dynamic," says Chris Caton, vice president and head, Prologis Research. "In addition, as replacement costs rise with global economic expansion, we expect the rent required to justify new construction to rise in kind and lead to an extended period of pronounced rent increases, particularly in cyclical recovery global markets in the U.S. and Europe."
Rent forecasting involves the consideration of many components, adds Caton. According to the report, rents in the largest markets – the U.S. and Europe – do not yet support broad based construction and rents will continue to increase.
Structural drivers such as construction costs, land values and cap rates must be weighed against cyclical vacancy trends to determine rent growth.
As replacement costs rise as the global economic expansion takes hold, Prologis expects the rent required to justify new construction to rise in kind. Caton told SCMR in an interview that supply chain managers my begin "locking in" long-term leases as a consequence.
"This dynamic should limit the pace of new development, leading to an extended period of pronounced rent increases, particularly in our cyclical recovery markets in the U.S. and Europe," says Caton.
Furthermore, Prologis expects stronger pricing power due to very tight operating metrics in China and a higher inflation factor in Brazil.

A Bay County man is behind bars after allegedly hitting another person in the face so hard the victim needed his jaw wired shut and 63 screws put into his face.
According to the State Attorney's Office, Michael Anthony Montano hit Garrett Myers in the face on May 27th of last year.
He's been found guilty as charged for felony battery and great bodily injury and permanent disfigurement after a Bay County jury deliberated for 35 minutes Friday afternoon.
The State Attorney's Office says Montano was also released from prison in 2008 after serving nearly four years on other charges.
He now faces up to five years in prison when Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet sentences him in February.

I've got IEM running on a Fedora 16 Linux desktop and on a Fedora 14 laptop as well. I thought I'd pass along my notes in case anyone else wants to try this. I'm not doing a step-by-step script here but if you're conversant with Eclipse and Linux this should be plenty to go on.
Thanks go to John Evans who gave me the outline for this procedure a while back. (I'm just a random IEM user so no support for anything mentioned here should be inferred or implied. Any pain this post may cause is no one's fault but mine.)
In addition to installing IEM, you should be able to run your demos on Linux, even though there's no Safari browser available. Google Chrome has a command line switch that overcomes the security controls that are the root of the problem, "--allow-file-access-from-files".
My demos work fine in Chrome with this. The User's Guide doesn't work 100% though, so there may be some gotchas out there that I haven't found yet. Chrome has the same Developer's Tools as Safari, so it works fine as a Linux alternative in that regard. I'm on "Version 19.0.1084.46 beta" if that matters.
My Fedora 16 system is 64bit Linux, but I did a 32bit installation there, assuming that is what would be required. I could have been completely wrong about that. Let me know. The Fedora 14 laptop is 32bit so I had no choice to make on that system.
I installed Eclipse Classic v3.6.2 (this version is required for the current version of IEM):
I added EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) to it through the internal Eclipse software installation process. (Help -> Install new software ...) While I was there I also installed the Eclipse Javascript, XML and XSL tools, mostly to get the validators that come with.
I downloaded the IEM for Windows 7 Beta 3.6.0 distribution from this
community and copied the following files out of its Eclipse directories
and into my own Eclipse directories:
When I installed on my Fedora 16, 64bit system ...
After restart the feature didn't show up in the installed features list but all of the plugins showed up in the plugin list.
When I first tried to switch to the PEM perspective I got a nasty exception complaining that I didn't have a valid SWT runtime environment. I found this explanation:
After a few false starts I found that installing the Mozilla 1.7.12 browser with GTK2 and Xft support fixes the problem:
I wrote a two line shell script to start IEM that points at that browser version via the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable, and also a 32bit JVM on the Eclipse command line, and everything seems to be working. I used the JVM that's installed with Lotus Notes actually.
When I installed on my 32bit Fedora 14 system, none of the above was required. And the PEM feature showed up in the installed features list in addition to the plugins.
One quirk I ran into, case matters, regardless of what system I installed on. In filenames anyway. I hit an IO exception during my initial publish attempt that was caused by an XSLT file in the theme with an uppercase letter in its name. I renamed it to all lower case and publish ran to completion without any more hiccups..
Enjoy ...

KLEM News Update March 7, 2011
(LE MARS) Tax issues are expected to be on a list of legislation at the Statehouse this week for State Representative Chuck Soderberg.
Soderberg, a Le Mars Republican, explains that includes changes to make Iowa more attractive for business.
Listen here
Lawmakers passed a deadline last week known as funnel week and some legislation is dead for this session because it was not moved out of a committee.
(SIOUX CITY)--A portion of Highway 75 near Sioux Center is slated to close for a road project beginning today (Monday).
(Detour route provided by Iowa Department of Transportation/Ames)
According to the Dean Herbst of the Sioux City office of the Iowa Department of Transportation, a bridge is being replaced on Highway 75, between Highway 18 and Lyon County Road A-52.
If weather conditions are favorable, Herbst expects the work to be completed by July 15.
(LE MARS)--Signs and a house remodeling project are the new building activity in Le Mars for the second month of the new year.
Jason Vacura of City of Le Mars Code Enforcement issued four permits for construction estimated at about 15-thousand dollars.
That's also the yearly total.
(LE MARS)--Storage buildings dominate the latest construction report in rural areas of Plymouth County.
Zoning Administrator Alan Lucken issued 11 permits for construction of 608-thousand dollars in February.
The farm total of 328-thousand dollars is for nine permits that include hay and machine storage. Lucken's permit report also lists two house additions and a grain bin.
Permits for rural building construction that is not on a farm included one new house and a permit for a house that was moved. The construction value for the two permits was estimated at 281-thousand dollars.
(LE MARS)--Le Mars fire fighters were out on a grease fire call at a Le Mars business for about an hour Sunday.
Le Mars Fire-Rescue Chief David Schipper reports grease overflowed from a broaster in the kitchen of Godfather's Pizza at 625 Hawkeye Drive about noon Sunday.
Fire was contained to the broaster and there was no other damage from the accidental fire.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Herman Cain has never held public office, but Iowa Republicans are expressing strong interest in the Georgia businessman who is edging toward a run for the White House.
Cain, a former co-owner of the Godfather's Pizza chain, will join other potential Republican presidential candidates today at a forum in Des Moines.
Then Cain makes stops in northwest Iowa. Tuesday night his public schedule lists him as giving the keynote address at the Woodbury County GOP dinner in Sioux City. Wednesday morning he'll be in Le Mars at Habitue Coffeehouse and Creperie from 7:45 to 9:30. The public event in Cherokee is at Danny's Sport Spot from 2:45-4 in the afternoon. He also makes a stop at the White House Inn in Paullina for a Leader's Lunch from 12:30 to two in the afternoon.
Former Iowa Republican Party Chairman Richard Schwarm says Cain is creating a buzz among activists who vote in the state's caucuses, which lead off the presidential nominating process.
Schwarm says Cain is a longshot to win, but notes that there isn't a clear favorite less than a year out from the caucuses.
Cain gets his strongest support from people in the tea party movement.
Cain says Americans appreciate his views on limited government and want a strong leader. (Portion of this news report are from Associated Press)
(SIOUX CITY)--A four-hour standoff ended safely Saturday night in Sioux City.
Forty-six-year-old Michael Ray Hall is charged with burglary. Police report Hall was accused of pointing a gun at eleven people inside a home at 507 West Second Street.
Hall and others had been watching a game and he became upset and left. He returned with a gun and police say he made threatening statements before running back to his house at 201 Sioux Street.
A SWAT team was called when Hall refused to come out or speak to officers. The SWAT team went into the residence about 10:30 Saturday night and arrested Hall without any resistance.
HOPKINTON, Iowa (AP) A couple's pet Rottweilers attacked and killed their 3-year-old granddaughter in the fenced-in back yard of their eastern Iowa home, authorities said.
Delaware County authorities say the Hopkinton couple wasn't home and a babysitter was looking after their granddaughter when the Saturday evening attack occurred. The sheriff's office did not know the relationship between the couple and the babysitter, and it did not release the names of anyone involved.
The girl was severely injured by the dogs and was declared dead on arrival at an Anamosa hospital.
The dogs were euthanized at the grandparents' request.
CENTER JUNCTION, Iowa (AP) An Iowa man has died from injuries suffered in an ATV crash.
The Jones County sheriff's office told KGAN-TV that deputies were called to a Center Junction residence about 10 p.m. Saturday to assist 39-year-old Kelly Kelchner, who was taken inside after the crash. He was flown to an Iowa City hospital, where he died.
Details of the crash weren't immediately available.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) Employees of a failed farm equipment dealership in eastern Iowa have been sentenced in a financial scheme that authorities say bilked banks and farmers of more than $7 million.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports 51-year-old Allen Scott, of Grundy Center, and 57-year-old Donna Zmolek, of Dike, were each sentenced to just over three years for mail fraud. They were also ordered Friday to help their boss, Leon Walterman, pay $10.6 million in restitution.
Walterman owned Walterman Implement in Dike. The dealership filed for bankruptcy in 2005. Authorities say the company double financed farm equipment purchases and submitted false contracts to lenders. Walterman was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison.
Two other workers, 65-year-old Allen Wulf of Reinbeck and 46-year-old Gary Miller of Dike, were given probation for wiretapping.
NEW ALBIN, Iowa (AP) Four people fell through thin ice on a Mississippi River offshoot in northeast Iowa but were quickly able to get out of the water.
The state Department of Natural Resources says Jeffry Kedrowski, of Janesville, Wis., was operating an ATV pulling a trailer with three people aboard when it went through the ice on Fish Lake in Allamakee County about 8 a.m. Saturday. All four people went into the water but were able to get out and make a fire on a nearby island to keep warm. A New Albin Rescue crew got them back to shore in an airboat, and no one was taken to a hospital.
Conservation officer Bill Collins says ice conditions are unpredictable amid thawing and re-freezing. People should use caution on the ice.
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) Some communities in America's heartland are gearing up for a flood-soaked spring after getting hammered with unusually heavy snow this winter.
The National Weather Service says parts of Minnesota and the Dakotas are virtually certain to be inundated, as they have for the past two years. But this winter's snowy barrage has enlarged the danger zone.
Prospects for flooding caused by melting snow and spring rains are rated high or above average in river basins from northern Montana to St. Louis. Other potential trouble spots include the lower Great Lakes, eastern New York state and southern New England.
Even parts of the South experienced rare snowstorms. But there's no flood threat there because most of the region is suffering from drought and the ground easily absorbed the snow melt.

Role of the tumor suppressor gene, p16INK4a, in regulating stem cell phenotypes in embryonic stem cells and human epithelial cells.
The roles of stem cells are to generate the organs of the body during development and to stand ready to repair those organs through repopulation after injury. In some cases these properties are not correctly regulated and cells with stem cell properties expand in number. Recent work is demonstrating that the genes that control stem cell properties are sometimes the same genes that are mutated in cancer. This means that a cell can simultaneously acquire stem cell properties and cancer properties. In order to effectively use stem cells for therapeutic purposes we need to understand the link between these two programs and devise ways to access one program without turning on the other. In other words, we would like to expand stem cell populations without them turning into cancer.
Recent work in our laboratory has found that the reduction of a specific tumor suppressor gene, p16, not only removes an important barrier to cancer but also confers stem cell properties within the cell. Cells that have reduced p16 activity can turn on a program that increases and reduces expression of specific genes that control differentiation. In this proposal we will test whether the continued reduction of this tumor suppressor gene creates human embryonic stem cells (hESC) that are unable to differentiate. We hypothesize that the lack of p16 represses multi-lineage potential by activating an epigenetic program and silencing genes that drive differentiation. To test this hypothesis we will first determine if lack of p16 activity is necessary for hESCs to develop into different cell types. Second, we will determine if continued lack of p16 activity is sufficient to inhibit differentiation of hESCs. Finally, we will determine if transient lack of p16 activity is sufficient for a non-stem cell to exhibit properties of a stem cell after propagation in a stem cell niche.
Since these types of events are potentially reversible, targeting such events may become clinically useful. These new observations identify novel opportunities. They provide potential markers for determining if someone is susceptible to cancer, as well as, providing potential targets for prevention and therapy. We hypothesize that these properties are critically relevant to the formation of cancer and will provide insights into the role of epigenetic modifications in disease processes and stem cell characteristics.
Stem cells hold great potential to help us in repairing injured body parts or replacing damaged organs. In order to realize this potential the rules that control stem cell behavior need to be understood. Recent work is demonstrating that the genes that control stem cell properties are sometimes the same genes that are mutated in cancer. In the proposed study we hypothesize that we may learn about a fundamental switch that not only controls stem cells but also controls the formation of a cancer cell. In understanding how this switch works we may be able to identify biomarkers that indicate when a normal looking cell will become a cancer cell or identify a drug that will allow us to stop the potential cancer cell from increasing in number. Since cancer is a common disease in California, any insights we can gain to battle this disease will benefit the citizens of our State.
There is also another side to the insights that may arise from the work in this proposal. Currently we believe the roles of stem cells are to generate the organs of the body during development and to stand ready to repair those organs through repopulation after injury. We do not know how to encourage a stem cell to repair, for example, some heart tissue rather than some bone tissue. If we could understand the code that directs the stem cells to differentiate in the proper fashion into one tissue or another, we could use these cells for clinical benefit. The pathways we are studying in this proposal tell the stem cells which genes to silence and which to activate. This is the program that allows the one original cells of your body (the embryo) to diversify into the multitude of specialized cells that work together to make a functioning person (eye cells, skin cells, nerve cells, etc.). In order to effectively use stem cells for therapeutic purposes we need to understand how they code their decisions and whether they can be changed after they have been set. These insights would allow us to aid in maintaining the health of the citizens of California.
Finally, if we do gain insight into the code that regulates the differences between cancer cells and stem cells, this information would be the basis of a new area of biotechnology. The generation of knowledge in this area would help in the development of companies, the recruitment of bright young minds and in the fiscal health of our State
Stem cells hold great potential to help us in repairing injured body parts or replacing damaged organs. In order to realize this potential the rules that control stem cell behavior need to be understood. Our laboratory has found that repression of the tumor suppressor p16 in human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) endows them with specific properties that are only found in classical stem cells and tumor cells. Indeed, repression of p16INK4a in HMECs enables them to grow in culture for a long time, something that HMECs expressing p16INK4a cannot achieve. Importantly, we have previously shown that repression of p16INK4a is accompanied by the acquisition of pre-malignant features.
Thanks to the support of this CIRM grant, we have now established that a sub-population of these cells display stem cell properties. This means that these cells can self-renew but also differentiate in different breast cell types. Unexpectedly, these cells can also give rise to non-breast cells, such as brain cells, when grown in the appropriate cell culture conditions, making this unique cell model a powerful tool for cancer AND regenerative medicine research. Knowing that these cells can generate cells of different tissue types, we can now dissect the rules that dictate those different cell fates. We are also testing whether these exciting findings obtained in cell culture dishes (in vitro) can be confirmed in a mouse model (in vivo). In other words, can these cells generate a functional mammary gland? Other studies, beyond the scope of this application could also test whether these cells could rescue spinal injury.
So why do we bother using breast cells to generate brain cells (or other types of cells)? The answer is that we believe that the sub-population of cells we have identified in breast likely exists as a stem cell pool in any tissue (with some tissue-specific variations of course). If this hypothesis is confirmed, these cells could turn out to represent a major advancement in regenerative medicine. Another major advantage of these naturally occurring stem cells, compared to the widely used embryonic stem cell lines, is that they are directly isolated from fresh breast tissue without introducing artifacts that may result from establishment in long-term cell culture systems. Their properties are an accurate reflection of a fully functional stem cell pool actually existing physiologically in our body.
Understanding how stem cells code their decisions and whether cell fate can be changed after it has been set is key to the effective use of stem cells for therapeutic purposes. Gaining such insights will greatly improve our ability to manage wound repair and organ replacement. This should also help us characterize fundamental switches that control stem cells as well as control the formation of cancer cells since some of the genes that control stem cell properties are mutated in cancer. A mechanistic understanding of how these switches work may help us prevent adverse events that may result from the use of stem cells during regenerative medicine. Thus, we hope to contribute in improving the health of the citizens of California.
An important feature of adult stem cells is the ability to bypass negative growth signals and participate in wound healing. Based on this premise, we identified a small subpopulation of human breast epithelial cells that is capable of bypassing negative growth signals. We identified a differential expression of genes that allowed for the rapid isolation of this novel somatic cell population from fresh disease-free human breast tissue. Importantly, this cell population is characterized by the over-expression of Bmi-1, a protein that plays an essential role in the self-renewal of stem cells and represses the cell cycle inhibitor, p16. This population of cells is therefore poised to express pluripotency markers at a level similar to that measured in human embryonic stem cells. It has the ability to self-renew and can express phenotypes of any of the three mammary lineages in vitro using cell culture differentiation assays. Importantly, these cells are also functional in vivo as observed after implantation in mice. Indeed, these human cells can differentiate into functional mammary outgrowths of human origin in the host mouse as we could document secretion of human milk in mice transplanted with these human somatic cells. We are currently investigating whether these cells can also differentiate into other lineages (tissue types) when cultured in the appropriate conditions. Our preliminary studies support that these cells will hold great promise in regenerative medicine and cell replacement therapy and may help overcome some of the important ethical and technical roadblocks related to the use of human embryonic stem cells.

I remember making these on year and giving them to every mother for mother's day. I took me like a month to make enough.
Peace, Love and Chocolate
Oh I loved these as a kid. The boys and I have been looking for some just fun, easy projects for these first few warm, non-school days. This looks perfect :)
I remember making about a hundred of these for a kindergarten graduation banner a couple of years ago! You can also stape the middles, if you wanted to stick them to something flat. If you round off the ends while it's still concertina'd, they look like carnations.
Your girls made a lovely job - wish I'd had them around to help me with that enormous pile of the things!
Your girls did a fabulous job. Your delightful centerpiece must make you smile every time you look at it.
Very pretty! I just found your blog and am loving all your cute crafty ideas :)

Very dry and not sweet at all. Will not make this again. Nobody really liked it
Took this to a dinner party and someone said it was "stupid good". Several reviewers mentioned a lack of banana flavor so I used 2 1/2 bananas on the bottom then a half on top of the cool whip and it had plenty of flavor. Only problem was that it seemed too soft in the middle. Not sure if it's supposed to be pudding like or if it needed to be baked longer.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (USA TODAY) - A nation that just stepped back from the brink of conflict with Syria paused Wednesday to honor and reflect on the nearly 3,000 victims of 9/11, the day terrorist attacks spurred two other long-running conflicts in the Middle East.
In New York, hundreds of friends and families of the victims stood silently - many holding photos of their loved ones - as bagpipes played. Relatives recited the names of those killed when two hijacked commercial airliners slammed into World Trade Center's Twin Towers. Another plane that day crashed into the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and a fourth plunged into the ground near Shanksville, Pa.
President Obama marked the anniversary with a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House, along with first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden. They walked out of the White House at 8:46 a.m., EDT, the moment the first plane hit the World Trade Center tower. Bowing their heads in a moment of silence, they were followed by a bugler playing taps.
Obama later attended a Pentagon ceremony later Wednesday morning, quoting the Bible, noting the resilience of victims' families and saluting those who served in the military and launched public service projects on behalf of 9/11 victims. A huge American flag draped the building near the spot where a hijacked jet struck at 9:37, killing 184 people.
In a speech to the nation Tuesday night, Obama made a case for military strikes at the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, invoking the image of hundreds gassed by chemical weapons. But the President said action would be delayed while a diplomatic resolution was being pursued.
In New York, one of those reading the names of victims put out a plea to the President to avoid conflict with Syria. "Pease don't bring us to another war," said the woman, who was honoring her late uncle, Jose Manuel Cardona.
Other relatives focused on the solemness of the day.
"No matter how many years pass, this time comes around each year - and it's always the same," said Karen Hinson of Seaford, N.Y., who lost her 34-year-old brother, Michael Wittenstein, a Cantor Fitzgerald employee. "My brother was never found, so this is where he is for us."
Denise Matuza, 46, from Staten Island, lost her husband, Walter, on 9/11. She plans to keep returning to the memorial ceremony each Sept. 11. "We'll still keep coming back," she said, as her 21-year-old son, also named Walter, and two other sons stood nearby.
In Shanksville, dozens of relatives of those who perished aboard United Flight 93 gathered at the crash site.
"This allows us to reconnect with each other and share the day together and the sorrow," said Gordon Felt, who lost his brother Ed. "We reignite the memories of that day, so that we don't forget what happened."
What happened on United 93, according to a federal commission, was as heroic as it was tragic.
After four hijackers seized control, passengers rebelled and rushed the cockpit.
The plane, which the commission said the hijackers probably planned to fly into the U.S. Capitol, crashed into the Somerset County countryside. The hijackers and all 40 passengers and crew were killed. Their names will be read and bells will be rung at a ceremony to start at 9:45 a.m., about the time investigators say passengers tried to re-take the plane.
Sally Hoagland, whose son Mark Bingham was on the flight, agreed with Felt that the anniversary serves a purpose. "I dread the day but I also welcome it, because we reconnect and because it's easier to be sad with other people who are, too," she said.
Hoagland was one of thousands around the nation who volunteered to work on various projects as part of a 9/11 National Day of Service, a campaign launched in 2002 by victims' relatives and supporters.
"It helped turn around 9/11 for me," by making the anniversary a more positive occasion, said Hoagland, who planned to help fix up a fire training facility.
The Shanksville observance here was low key compared to recent years. The event was attended by ichelle Obama in 2010; by President Obama on the 10th anniversary in 2011; and by Vice President Biden in 2012.
There were several milestones for the families to applaud: Ground was broken Tuesday for the memorial visitors center, and a National Park Service charity announced that $40 million had been raised to finish the building the memorial.
For many here, it was a day when sorrow was mitigated by pride -- in the memorial that's taken shape.
"In some ways this feels like the first year we came here," said Larry Catuzzi whose daughter, Lauren, was on the flight. "But I'm so proud of what we've done to create this memorial."
At New York's memorial, a small crowd gathered by 8 a.m. At times, bagpipes played.
Some people invited to the memorial - which contained a much smaller group of attendees than this time during last year's anniversary - hugged and kissed each other. Others held photos of their loved one who had perished.
One woman wore a shirt that was emblazoned with the image of a woman's face. "We love & miss you" it said.
Like she has done in years' past, Kent Place School teacher Reba Petraitis will have a special lesson about remembrance and memorials on Wednesday. Since the majority of her 12th-graders at the Summit, N.J., school don't have clear memories of 9/11, Petraitis tells them to think about another loss that affected them, such as the death of a grandparent, and then talk about the need to memorialize others.
"It's really a highly emotional lesson," Petraitis said.
For most of those students, "Sept. 11 is history - they don't remember it," she said. "I also ask them to go home and ask their parents what are their memories of the day to foster family discussions."
Throughout the school year, Petraitis and her students also discuss domestic and international terrorism, school shootings, what makes someone decide to become a terrorist and what students can do "to make this world a better place to live."
The class is a senior elective on contemporary history, she said, but it has a large focus on terrorism and 9/11.
She notes that as time goes on, the attacks will become "more history than a living event."
But "as long as there are museums and memorials, then there are reminders (of Sept. 11, 2001)," she said. "And that's the reason for the memorials."
In New York City's firehouse Engine 20, Ladder 20, there was solace in the air Tuesday night. About a dozen people stood in front of a bronze memorial wall dedicated to the 343 firefighters killed on 9/11.
Two women approached the six-foot high memorial and rubbed their hands over the etched faces of the firefighters. One man, who had just been looking at the firefighter names listed beneath, did the sign of the cross.
Next to the bronze plaque, a lone, lit candle flickered in front of a framed display that had rows of photos of the deceased. In front of wall, people placed bouquets of fresh flowers and a large red, white and blue floral arrangement .
