Our favourite plate Review by Michelle
Price Value Quality
We use this all the time - most days in fact. My boy loves buses, so that helps, but it's a perfect plate for us. He loves compartments, and these are easy to clean. Because it's metal, it helps cool down food quickly when we put it in the fridge. It's obviously durable. It's a good size for toddler portions.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Our only challenge is that the boy always wants ALL the compartments filled, so we have to get creative at times... (Posted on 1/4/11)

Erie County sheriff's deputies made four drunken-driving arrests during New Year's Eve, including one driver charged with felony DWI following a crash that led to his injury on Stony Point Road, Grand Island.
In that case, William Ross, 60, of Akron, was charged with felony driving while intoxicated. Ross, who refused a breath test, was taken to Erie County Medical Center for treatment of injuries. The DWI charge was upgraded to a felony because of a previous DWI conviction, deputies said.
In the other cases:
• Kevin Prusak, 50, of Kenmore, was charged with DWI following the investigation of disabled vehicle on the side of Route 219 in the Town of Boston, deputies said.
• Peter Walter, 54, of Angola, was charged with DWI after his truck struck a guardrail on Sherman Avenue in North Collins, deputies said. Walter posted a blood-alcohol level of 0.12 percent, deputies added.
• Jason Kinthiseng, 21, of Grand Island, was charged with DWI during an investigation into a domestic disturbance. Kinthiseng, who had fled the residence earlier, was arrested after returning to the scene. He posted a blood-alcohol level of 0.16 percent, according to sheriff's officials.

The picture shown above depicts an application that might soon make its U.S. debut, depending on the market's interest, according GF AgieCharmilles. It depicts the company's FW 20 wire EDM-currently available only in Asia—being employed as a cut-off system to remove golf ball molds from their base plate.
These molds, shown as part of this demonstration at the Agie Charmilles LLC "Technology Days" event in late June in Lincolnshire, Illinois, were produced on a laser sintering machine from German firm EOS. In that process, a laser solidifies powder metal material layer by layer to build a finished part. Of course, the part must then be separated from the base plate from which it was built. So, why not use a standard saw for such applications?
That would, GF AgieCharmilles admits, be quicker than a wire EDM. However, the company contends that the EDM machine produces a straighter cut and eliminates the need for secondary milling operations. Additionally, the machine can perform tapered cuts.
However, accuracy and the ability to create a taper aren't the greatest advantages of this particular machine. As shown below, the molybdenum wire isn't stored in a typical EDM spool. Rather, the wire continually re-circulates via a drum that essentially operates like a winch. Recycling previously used wire in this way can result in significant cost savings, the company says.
If your company uses laser sintering or other processes to produce parts that require accurate cut-off operations, you might want to keep an eye out for the FW 20. GF AgieCharmilles says it plans to evaluate U.S. demand for such a machine and possibly market it here.

7 Charming Amenities of the World's Grossest Motel Room
Hello. My name is Adam Tod Brown, and I'm new here. Well, not technically new, I've written a few things in the past that you might be familiar with. But I recently accepted a full-time job as an editor and columnist here at Cracked. Also, I'm living in a shitty motel room right now. Sorry if that last sentence shatters your illusions of what kind of fame and riches await a person who ascends to the very heights of dick jokery by landing a job with the most successful failed magazine of all-time. I assure you, it's not as bleak as it sounds. For starters, when I say I'm living in a shitty motel room, I just mean right now, as I'm writing this. If there is a God (and a fat check from Cracked coming on Friday) I'll be out of this dive in a few more days. How I ended up here is not the story. At least, it's not the story right now. I have no doubt that I'm more than enough of an asshole to share those details with the world at some point. But it won't be this day. Right now, there's only one story here, and that's the room itself. More specifically, the charming amenities of the shitty motel room I'm living.
#7. The Shower Curtain That's Way Too Small for the Shower
I know this isn't the greatest photo. I'm sorry about that. Accepted photography standards fly out the window when you're standing in a bathroom that has an extra shower head that dispenses syphilis. Just joking, it doesn't have that. The fact that you'll catch syphilis in this room is just implied. Anyway, that goddamn shower curtain. As you can see, there's a little bit of extra shower rod there in the upper right corner of the picture. That's because, despite what everything you learned in school may lead you to believe, there are no laws of physics in place that are capable of keeping this sheet of yellow-stained plastic stretched far enough to adequately cover the entire shower. I sometimes stand in awe of it during my weekly shower, liter of vodka in hand, still partially clothed, watching water gleefully penetrate the shower curtain's meager defenses and splash to the floor. I can't begin to tell you how many tricks and techniques I've employed to try and get this thing to stay in some kind of useful position. But no matter what I try, it just snaps back into the same ineffective stance you see in the picture. By the time I'm done showering, the amount of moisture on the floor is rivaled only by the 8 inches of standing water in the bottom of the tub that will still be working its way down the drain when you finally read this.
#6. The Sketchy Neighbors Across the Hall
Pimp and prostitute? Drug dealers? All of the above? I'm not 100 percent sure which side of the crime spectrum the shady looking couple staying in the room across from me fall on, I just know that between the approximate hours of 9 a.m. - 4 a.m., that room is one endless parade of visitors. The routine is always the same. First, the dude leaves. I know this to be the case because, well, I fucking watch them through the peephole sometimes. Sue me. Entertainment is scarce in a place like this. Anyway, dude leaves and a few minutes later, there's a knock at the door. This visitor is always a male. Always. Said gentleman caller usually stays for about 30 minutes and leaves. A few minutes after that, the male occupant of the room returns. Repeat to infinity. So, they're either selling drugs or selling sex or selling both. Whatever the case, I'm not happy about it. I mean, seriously, only when I'm at my absolute brokest do a drug dealer and a prostitute move in across the hall from me. It's like being on the verge of starvation while watching a pizza commercial (which, coincidentally, is exactly what I'm doing as I type this). Just joking. I'm not that desperate (yet). And here's something else I'm not desperate enough for ...
#5. The "Continental Breakfast"
Like any respectable house of prostitution and reasonably priced weekly motel rooms, this joint does indeed offer guests a "continental breakfast" each morning. In this case, the feast is available between the hours of 6am-10am. The biggest problem there lies in the fact that, given my current circumstances, the chances of me waking up from the previous night's blackout prior to 10am are slim to none. But, as luck would have it, there was a day earlier this week when I didn't manage to stumble my way to bed until well after 6am. So, being sort of awake and only moderately disoriented, I decided to investigate this "continental breakfast" firsthand to see what treasures it held. To the best of my recollection, the following items were available: -A Plexiglas container filled with a cereal that vaguely resembled Froot Loops -A carafe of powdered milk That's it. Not a donut, bagel or English muffin in sight. Toast? Fuck toast. Just a pile of sure to be stale Froot Loops and a big jug of disgusting powdered milk. If any of you reading this grew up immersed in the wonders that only a life of poverty can provide, then you know what kind of animal powdered milk is, and you know that no self-respecting adult would willingly consume that shit. Not even one staying in a motel room that has a prescription for Valtrex posted on the door right underneath the fire escape map (which I think is from a different building altogether).
#4. The Cozy Sitting Area
Sometimes, a person just needs a quiet place to sit and reflect. If that person is living in a shitty motel room like I am right now, rest assured, their "place to go" options are sparse. Usually, it just means getting out of bed and walking to the other side of the room. What you see in the above photo is what you'll find on the other side of my shitty motel room. Isn't it just quaintest? I must admit, I've never actually sat here and I plan on burning that computer bag and the earwigs almost certainly infesting it the second I'm gone. But still, in a dive like this, it's a nice effort. And as you can clearly see, those industrial strength plaid curtains are unique in their ability to keep the room completely dark whether they are open or closed. That's craftsmanship you could only find in the 1940s when those curtains were made. Also, heads up, rapists. I think the locks on the window are just for show.

I love my Rodeo
by ccarnes14 from Grass Valley, CA | April 25, 2012
I have had my Rodeo for 4 yrs and put over 60K very hard miles on it. I work in the mountains of N.California and my truck has seen a lot of severe weather and misc. conditions. It has only failed me once and that was when the alternator went out. It has over 185k miles currently and still runs gr8. I just bought my wife a 97 Trooper. Before I got my Rodeo I only bought GM trucks. I am now forever an Isuzu fan. I just wish they still made passenger vehicles in the US.

Great Truck
by LoveTheTruck from | February 23, 2011
I owned my Rodeo for 10 years. It took me on ski trips, moved my drums for gigs, got my stuff home from Home Depot and even brought my babies home from the hospital. This truck was powerful enough to drive through the toughest storms and comfortable enough to cart my family around. I reccommend this truck.

Extreme Value and Durability
by tantricmanic from Bay Area, CA | December 17, 2010
I have a 98 and I have punished it doing construction work. I have literally loaded it from floor to ceiling with cinder blocks and it hauled it with no problem. I realize that was risky and I don't recommend it, but just to show you how tough it is. And I've done it many times. I'm almost to 160K now and it's still running strong. It just won't die. I have driven it between Phoenix and Northern California loaded with construction materials and its always delivered. Never broken down on me. I have replaced the a/c and the gas gauge is possessed but other than that its been pretty fantastic. Also had to replace wiring harness - covered free on recall. Great SUV for the money - buy one!!!

Does everything
by Rowdy-Mama from Boulder, CO | August 22, 2009
I bought my '98 Rodeo new, 11 years ago. Now at 100900 miles, it's still running strong. Great acceleration & power. Have driven cross-country 7 times, and serious off-roading in places such as Moab, as well as Colorado mountains and snow. It's always done whatever I wanted. Holds all my stuff, & bikes. Tows 4500 lbs. with no drag. Alternator was underpowered, had to be rebuilt twice. Gas gauge is neurotic. Excellent stereo. I got all the options. To get what my Rodeo has on a vehicle of another make would cost way too much. Too bad Isuzu no longer stands behind its product.

by happy female driver from Austin, TX | April 5, 2007
I bought my 98 Rodeo new and still love it! I've had no major problems with it (knock on wood) and at 137,000 miles, it's still running great! I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. I plan to drive it until it dies - which will hopefully be years from now.

My Rodeo
by Rodeo lover from Chicago, IL | May 30, 2006
I got this car in 1998 as my first real automobile and it has been with me since. I love my car, I actually call it Harvey because it is almost a person to me. I have driven it cross country twice and have had many numerous road trips in between then. It has held up really well considering the extreme conditions it has faced and the roads it has traveled. I bought it exactly 8 years ago this spring and have only 82,000 miles on it. The only think that was a little annoying is the CD player jammed twice within in a year of having it and the air condition hasn't worked since 7 years ago. Those things still haven't slowed down my car at all. I had to get the tires replaced at 75,000 and the fan belt has been replaced twice as well, but other then that my rodeo has stayed with me for a long time without any real problems. Great first time car, perfect for camping, biking, anything outdoors. I do see myself driving this car until it physically breaks down on me, but I doubt I will have it until 100,000 miles. That would be huge if that was the case.

The family magic seems to have skipped over Tammy Jo Trask. All she gets in the way of the supernatural are a few untimely visits from the long-dead, smart-mouthed family ghost Edie. But when her locket—an heirloom that happens to hold Edie's soul—is stolen in the midst of a town-wide crime spree, it's time for Tammy to find her inner witch.
After a few bad experiences with her magic, Tammy turns to the only one who can help: the very rich and highly magical Bryn Lyons. He might have all the answers, but the locket isn't the only thing passed down in Tammy's family. She also inherited a warning…to stay away from anyone named Lyons…
"Bewitchingly fantastic!"—Dakota Cassidy, national bestselling author of Accidentally Dead and The Accidental Werewolf
"Witty, sexy, and wildly imaginative."—Nancy Pickard, Agatha Award–winning author of The Virgin of Small Plains
Tammy Jo found me. I was holding a casting call in my head for the main character of a new story I wanted to write combining my favorite elements from humorous mysteries and urban fantasies. I had an idea of what traits the lead character should have. I needed her to be determined and optimistic with a fighting spirit. I also knew I wanted the Would-Be Witch setting to be a small town full of quirky characters. I believe Tammy was born out of that. When she appeared as this charming and well-intentioned Southern girl surrounded by trouble, I knew I could build the story I wanted to create around her.
Bryn arrived in much the same way. I started with names and concepts and brainstormed a bit. I wanted him to be someone dangerously charming that Tammy couldn't quite trust. Someone clever with a mysterious past. For looks, I was inspired by Pierce Brosnan in his early roles and by some handsome dark-haired models in Gentleman's Quarterly.
Have you always been drawn to write about witches? What is it about the paranormal that you find inspiring?
I think this is the first time I've written about witches, but I've been fascinated by the paranormal my whole life. I can't understand people not wanting to read about worlds full of magic. Stumble into a forest at the back of an enchanted wardrobe? Attend Hogwarts? Absolutely, sign me up. I had a big imagination as a kid and have apparently never outgrown it.
Tammy Jo's sidekick is an ocelot called Mercutio. Why an ocelot? Can you tell us a bit about them?
I saw a picture of an ocelot and immediately wanted one. I'm a fan of big cats. Maybe it's the Leo in me? And a witch really needs a cat. Since Tammy Jo spends a lot of her time fighting villains, it made sense for her to have a "big cat" for a sidekick. It would've been tough to hide a tiger in a small town, but people do sometimes try to raise ocelots, which are smaller than tigers, as pets—though ocelots are difficult to domesticate and some can't be. The artist Salvador Dali used to have ocelots that routinely tore up his hotel rooms and everything in sight. The fact that ocelots are truly wild appealed to me.
Readers can see how gorgeous ocelots are by the front cover of Would-Be Witch. The talented Berkley cover artist's rendering of Mercutio is dead-on perfect. Ocelots look quite a bit like leopards, but in addition to their spots, ocelots have some stripes as well. They're nocturnal, grow to be about twice the size of domestic cats, and they live in the southern United States, Mexico, and South America. They're territorial and, if threatened, they'll fight to the death. Mercutio definitely shows those tendencies in the stories. He'll fight anything that needs fighting without a thought to how much bigger the opponent is. That's probably part of why Tammy Jo and I admire him so much.
Your main character Tammy Jo is a pastry chef. Is this a profession you have a personal interest in?
I like to entertain, and when I do, I often try out complicated recipes, but I'm certainly no gourmet chef. My aunt gave me a cookbook called Death By Chocolate, and I had several kitchen mishaps trying recipes from that book, but it was fun. Then, I visited a museum and one of the minor exhibits was called "Chocolate." The creations in that exhibit were amazingly elaborate. Whole sculptures of flowers, animals, castles, and landscapes made of different colored chocolate. I suppose some of those things were rattling around my subconscious when I was thinking about Tammy Jo's occupation. It turns out that Tammy Jo has a secret in her past that predisposes her to this type of work, but the details aren't actually revealed until the second book, Barely Bewitched, so I can't say more about it here.
Your next novel, Barely Bewitched comes out this fall. Can you give us a sneak peek?
Barely Bewitched picks up right where Would-Be Witch leaves off. During the course of the first story, Tammy Jo and Bryn break some rules, so in the second book, Tammy Jo has consequences to face. A pair of wizards from the World Association of Magic comes to town, and they demand that Tammy Jo train for a dangerous magical challenge. Naturally, their arrival is more complicated than she first realizes. Also in Barely Bewitched, more of Tammy Jo and Bryn's backgrounds are revealed and we learn why Tammy Jo's magic doesn't work properly, and also a secret about Bryn.

Puerto Vallarta sits along the calm waters of Banderas Bay on the Pacific coast. Its location made it an ideal point for the Spanish to rest and refuel during their colonial days. It is also thought to have played host to the odd pirate. Through the first half of the 20th century, Puerto Vallarta made a living from its rich natural resources, but a chance encounter with Hollywood great Elizabeth Taylor in the 1960s set it on the path to becoming one of Mexico's best loved resort towns.
Get a feel for old Puerto Vallarta with a walk through the Romantic Zone or Old Vallarta. Walk along narrow alleys lined with white balconies and hanging bougainvillea. Take a sunset stroll by the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe to see this early 20th century structure light up in a warm glow. Hire a water taxi and spend a morning swimming and sunbathing on Playa las Animas. Be sure to get there early to avoid large tour groups that arrive in early afternoon.
Stop at cozy Jorge's Hideaway Shrimp Shack for some local grub like fresh caught shrimp stuffed into a pineapple, or tasty octopus appetizers. Sit at a balcony table by the river while enjoying an order of sangria and paella negra at the tucked away La Pe�a Andaluza.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick compared Alabama and Arizona immigration policies to McCarthyism and Jim Crow in a speech Monday to students at Tufts University, according to a story on Boston.com.
"The actions of various states to take matters into their own hands have been ham-fisted, self-defeating, and even racist,'' Patrick was quoted as saying.
The tone of Patrick's speech Monday - he called much of the debate surrounding immigration reform "hysterical and poisonous'' - has struck some state lawmakers and immigration policy specialists as more vehement than previous speeches, the story said.
"The public discourse about immigration is as toxic today as McCarthyism or Jim Crow were in their time,'' Patrick was quoted as saying. "Now, like then, the debate seems to be based more on emotion than reason, more on slogan than fact.''
Eva A. Millona, executive director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, told Boston.com that she was not surprised by the content of Patrick's speech - she has always agreed with his stance on immigration - but was struck by its particularly brash tone.
"It's very strong wording that really speaks to [Governor Patrick's] belief, to his understanding, to his vision for a stronger America,'' Millona said.
On the other hand, Jessica Vaughan - director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that researches US immigration policy - said the governor's fiery words Monday were a political mistake.
"The language he chooses is just as loaded and charged as the rhetoric of the people that he's criticizing - maybe even more so,'' Vaughan was quoted as saying. "I don't think he could get away with giving that speech anywhere other than a college campus.''

Isolated sleep paralysis is a type of paralysis that occurs with a sleep disorder. Sleep paralysis is the inability to perform voluntary muscle movements during sleep.
Sleep paralysis - isolated; Parasomnia - Isolated sleep paralysis
Episodes of isolated sleep paralysis last from a few seconds to 1 or 2 minutes in which the person is unable to move or speak. These spells end on their own or when the person is touched or moved. In rare cases, the person may have dream-like sensations or hallucinations, which may be scary to them.
If you do not have other symptoms of narcolepsy, there is usually no need to have sleep studies done.
In most cases, isolated sleep paralysis occurs so rarely that treatment is not needed. If the cause is known, for example due to lack of sleep, correcting the cause, such as getting enough sleep, often resolves the condition.
In persons with mental health conditions, medication and behavioral therapy (talk therapy) to help treat the mental condition may also resolve sleep paralysis.

STATE?COLLEGE?- Bill O'Brien and Kirk Ferentz couldn't be more different.
Ferentz, in his 14th season at Iowa, is the dean of Big Ten coaches, which shows just how tough it is to last a long time at a major program.
O'Brien, hired in January, is the league's newest coach.
Ferentz is the classic old-school coach: Conservative, grind it out, take few chances, rely on toughness and defense and don't be afraid to win ugly.
O'Brien is more of a modern-day coach: Aggressive, go for it on fourth down, try to score 40 points, play entertaining football and adjust on the fly depending on the situation.
When Penn State played Iowa in the past, it was always a matchup of two coaches with similar philosophies. Ferentz essentially tried to out-Paterno Joe Paterno, and he did a great job of that, going 8-3 head-to-head.
Saturday, however, Ferentz won't have the same luxury as he's had in the past of knowing what Penn State's game plan will be before kickoff. And that, as much as anything, gives the Nittany Lions their best chance to earn their first win at Iowa since 1999.
It won't be easy in a night game at Kinnick Stadium, which will be sold out (70,585) and presents a truly hostile, loud environment.
"We're going to be playing under the lights, and that's when the stars come out," Lion tight end Kyle Carter said.
Penn State is riding a four-game winning streak, while Iowa went to East Lansing and beat Michigan State on Saturday in double-overtime, 19-16.
That win gave Ferentz his 100th victory with the Hawkeyes.
O'Brien has a total of four wins on his resume, and he understands the job Ferentz has done in his 14 seasons deserves respect.
"It's a ton of credit to Coach Ferentz," O'Brien said.
O'Brien is good friends with Ferentz's son, Brian, who spent the past four seasons coaching with him in New England and is now Iowa's offensive line coach. O'Brien was offensive coordinator last season, and Brian Ferentz was the Patriots' tight ends coach, so they have a lot in common when it comes to utilizing that position.
There's also a Bill Belichick connection between O'Brien and Kirk Ferentz, who coached under Belichick with the Cleveland Browns from 1993-95.
O'Brien said he's seen Ferentz in action when he went to Iowa to scout former quarterback Ricky Stanzi during spring drills.
"I watched first-hand what he did out there in spring practice, and [he] just does an excellent job of teaching fundamental, physical football, smart football," O'Brien said."
O'Brien also acknowledged that it is a statement about how tough it is to keep a high-profile job when the Big Ten's longest-tenured coach is just 14 years.
"I'm a coach, I'm biased, I think there's a ton of great coaches in the country," O'Brien said. "Everybody has got their own style, and I respect that, and I think all the coaches deserve time. When you're a new coach, it's important that you're given time. It's important that you're given time to put your own direction on the program."
Ferentz went 1-10 and 3-9 his first two seasons at Iowa before turning around the program. For that, O'Brien believes his colleague "should be at Iowa for however long he wants to be there."
While Ferentz will be going up against a new Penn State offense, he might have one strategic advantage -- because of his son.
The Lions essentially run the Patriots' offense, and Brian Ferentz knows that offense, having coached it the past four seasons.
"I know more about Coach O'Brien than I would most people I guess; is that a good way to say it?" Ferentz said. "I know what kind of person he is, and his resume offensively is pretty obvious; just go to the last stop.
"But I go beyond it in that you work with people like George O'Leary, Ralph Friedgen - who I think are excellent football coaches - and he's done a lot of different things, throwing the ball, option. So his knowledge of offense is really extensive."
Ferentz respects that O'Brien gambled by leaving his job as offensive coordinator at Duke and taking a low-paying job - "I can promise you low-paying," Ferentz said - as an offensive assistant with the Patriots.
"Most people wouldn't do something like that at that age and that level and that stage of their career," Ferentz said. "So I think it just tells you a lot about Bill. He's all about coaching, and he's just an excellent coach. He's done a great job already there."
Weisman update
Iowa's standout running back, Mark Weisman, is questionable at best and most likely doubtful for Saturday's game after suffering a sprained ankle late in the win over Michigan State. Weisman has 631 yards rushing and eight TDs on 100 carries.
Weisman underwent an MRI that showed no major damage to his ankle, and he initially wore a walking boot but is out of that now.
"He would have a lot of progress to make to be able to play," Ferentz said.
Awards snubs
O'Brien doesn't know how some of his best players were left off of midseason awards lists.
"There's a certain amount of ridiculousness that a guy like Mike Mauti or Gerald Hodges or Jordan Hill, those three guys defensively aren't on" the awards list," the coach said.
He went on to add, "If there's a linebacker, defensive lineman award, whatever the awards are ... I can't imagine that there's that many linebackers or defensive linemen in the country better than those guys."
Injury update
Bill Belton is getting healthier coming back from his ankle injury, but O'Brien wouldn't say if the running back is 100 percent.
Freshman linebacker Nyeem Wartman might have to take a medical redshirt after suffering a knee injury week two at Virginia.
"Final decision hasn't been made on that," O'Brien said. "He was out there. He practiced [Monday], did some individual drills and things like that, so we're just going to continue to monitor that. He's a really good young player. It is getting later in the season, so something is going to have to be made probably pretty soon, but right now we haven't made that decision."

This study, sponsored by Dr. Paul Richardson of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, was designed to answer a very important question in myeloma: In the era of novel drugs, is high-dose therapy (HDT) still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients? In this study, the addition of HDT to conventional dose treatment (RVD) as compared to conventional-dose treatment (RVD) alone would be considered superior if it significantly prolongs progression-free survival by at least 9 months.
Revlimid from the Celgene Corporation was just approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat certain patients with a malignant blood condition called MDS.

HONOLULU - Lying to police who are investigating a crime would become at least a misdemeanor under a bill Hawaii lawmakers are advancing.
Honolulu police officers told members of the House Public Safety Committee on Thursday that they support the measure because witnesses who mislead police can hamper investigations and can get innocent people thrown in jail.
"When you take investigations in a direction based on false statements, it costs us resources," Capt. Jason Kawabata said. "It's unfair to the victims of crimes."
Filing a false police report is already a misdemeanor in Hawaii. The bill, HB1804, which advanced out of committee, would make unsworn false testimony to police the same level of offense as the crime police are investigating, a misdemeanor at minimum.
Lt. Alexander Garcia told lawmakers the bill was based on a federal law. He said he was unaware of similar measures in other states.
The bill does not require police to tell witnesses about penalties or legal options when they talk to police.
"A witness isn't read their rights," Garcia said in an interview. "I always tell them, when I'm running an investigation, 'Tell me the truth or don't tell me anything.'"
He said his support is motivated by cases he has worked in which accusers make up stories to get someone arrested.
"This has happened not only in domestic cases but other personal-type vendettas," he said.
Richard Sing, president of the Hawaii Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said he's concerned the bill is too broad and the penalty part of it is unfair and probably unworkable.
For example, he said if your brother is being investigated for murder and you tell the police you don't know where your brother is when you really do, you would have committed an offense that would be treated as seriously as murder.
Or in a scenario where you're pulled over for speeding and an officer asks whether you know how fast you were going. If you say you don't when you actually do, then you've committed a misdemeanor and you could go to jail for a year, Sing said.
"You want to encourage people to be honest to the police, but I think the bill is overbroad as written and the penalty provision is very problematic," Sing said.

A pathetic person that sees conspiracy behind every post in Craigslist's Rants and Raves. A Thumper believes all posts that offend him are the work of one person. He also thinks that all flagging is done by that same person. A Thumper posts repeatably, with a complete lack of creativity, desperately trying to rally the troops to the validity of his twisted view of reality. He fancies himself as a leader, but alas has no followers.
The Thumper in WDC Rants and Raves is crusading against OBAMANAZI, a mythical person that exists only in his mind.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Thumper is a drinking game. How to play - everyone playing the game must drum their hands on the table/thighs/whatever you got and the first person to start yells out the phrase, "What's the name of the game?" and then everyone else yells back, "Thumper!" then the first person yells out, "And why do we play?" which is returned with, "To get fucked up!" then when all the drumming has commenced the first player does two dance moves then looks to a random player and then they copy the first players second move and then add a move of their own and then look to a different player and they copy the second players move and so on and so forth. If a person messes up a move then, that's when the drinking comes in. He/She has to chug a cup of beer.
"Holy crap, what happened to you last night?"
"Someone suggested Thumper. I was already too fucked up to argue."

So, we're settling in. It's been not even six months since arriving, and actually not even a month since this house became officially ours. Still the new smell, but it also doesn't smell like other people's houses. It's us.
I love having a reason to buy new things. It's like I have permission to spend money- probably why I like grocery shopping and when the kids grow too big for their shoes. We didn't bring our dining table with us because I knew I wanted a new one, and this house calls for a big round instead of square, and so we've gone this long without a proper table. We are having a set custom made for us by a man in Old Town- sounds so ooh la la and it kind of is to me. But honestly it's nice to keep it local, and it was the better price anyway. And he delivers. We also need nightstands, and cozy reading area furniture, a big mirror for over the couch, and an artsy table and chairs for the kitchen nook. There's a fantastic used furniture store just up the street but I've never seen it open, just peeked in the windows. I've been told you have to leave a note in their door and they'll call and open up the shop for you, but I left my note a couple weeks ago and haven't heard back. I see there's other notes piling up when I drive by.
It still feels like we're "away" - from family, and sometimes real life. This weekend we have the market, another birthday party, and are going to see friends perform in a play. I don't ever remember waking up anywhere else so happy, so easy, and so free.

McKeesport - Altoona was not able to match McKeesport's speed on both sides of the ball Friday night and lost, 34-7, at Weigle-Schaeffer Memorial Stadium.
"Speed kills, and it killed us tonight. They've got more speed in every position than I've seen in awhile. We just couldn't handle their speed," Altoona coach John Franco said. "I'm not just talking about their skilled kids' speed, their linemen were fast. That's what really made the difference. We could not control them."
Altoona (1-4) had no answer for McKeesport's option attack. Quarterback David Queen led the Tigers (5-0) with 14 carries for 83 yards and three touchdowns. Fullback Mikell Moore had 12 carries for 108 yards and two touchdowns.
"Their quarterback is an excellent option quarterback, but he's set up nicely because the fullback [Moore] is a key guy," Franco said. "Everything we did was focused on stopping the fullback."
The Mountain Lions only had two first downs in the first half and gained only 2 positive yards of offense as the lost-yards play washed out almost the entire first half offensive production.
"We could have made things a little more interesting in the first half, but we couldn't come up with the catch several times," Franco said. "We can't afford any dropped balls."
After trailing by a touchdown or less at the half in the previous three games, Altoona gave McKeesport a short field three times in the first half and the Tigers scored on all three drives to take a 21-0 lead at the break.
On the Mountain Lions' first possession, McKeesport forced a punt, but Joel Reighard never got the punt away. Khaleke Hudson blocked it, giving the Tigers a first down at the Lion 22-yard line. Mikell Moore banged 2 yards into the end zone to cap the drive, and McKeesport led 7-0.
"When they blocked that punt, that was the first punt we had blocked in I can't count the number of years," Franco said. "We had a guy out there to block, but he just wasn't fast enough."
McKeesport took advantage of Altoona poor special teams play again when Allen Wright returned a 34-yard punt from the back of the end zone to the Mountain Lion 8-yard line. On the next play, option quarterback Queen ran untouched into the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown and the Tigers led 13-0 early in the second quarter.
Late in the second quarter, the Mountain Lion defense recovered a Moore fumble deep in Altoona's territory to temporarily snuff out a Tiger red zone drive, but on the next play, Kevin Givens dropped a handoff and McKeesport recovered at the Altoona 10-yard line. Queen capped the drive once again with a 7-yard touchdown and McKeesport led 21-0 after Hudson scored the two-point conversion.
"We made too many mistakes in the first half. We fumbled some snaps and did some stuff we just havent done," Franco said. "It was another frustrating night."
McKeesport's dominant running game took over in the third quarter and wore down Altoona's defense. The Mountain Lions ran only three offensive plays in the third quarter.
Midway through the third quarter, the Tigers had their first scoring drive of more than 20 yards as Moore capped a 69-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown run to give McKeesport a 27-0 lead.
Altoona broke the scoreboard on the ensuing kickoff as Christian Toohey sprinted 88 yards for the touchdown and the Mountain Lions trailed 27-7.
"[Toohey] is a sophomore. Last week was the first week he made the special teams," Franco said. "He's spunky, and he gave us a spark there."
The Tigers responded with another sustained scoring drive and Queen scored its third touchdown, this one from 12 yards out to give the Tigers a 34-7 lead toward the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was scoreless.
"We just have to keep teaching, keep practicing and keep playing," Franco said. "Our kids didn't quit. That was one positive. We played till the end."

COLUMBIANA - The city's finance director has been chosen to fill the city manager position on an interim basis until a new manager is found.
City Council last week approved Mike Harold for the temporary position and he will step into the role after City Manager Keith Chamberlin leaves at the end of the month.
Chamberlin is retiring after two decades as manager and his last day is Dec. 31. Service Director Jay Groner would normally serve as interim manager, but he is also retiring on Dec. 31 after 18 years. He was appointed by Chamberlin in 1994.
Harold was also appointed by Chamberlin for the non-union finance director position and replaced Kevin Smith, who resigned at the end of 2011 after accepting a position with Mill Creek Park in Mahoning County.
Until coming to Columbiana Harold worked as full-time fiscal officer in New Waterford for eight years. His salary was set the same as Smith, which was $61,000 a year.
Mayor David Spatholt said the city is considering giving Harold a stipend for the interim work since he will continue his regular full-time duties as finance director, but that decision will ultimately be made by council.
The money will be available for a stipend since the city will no longer be paying Chamberlin his regular salary of $86,000 a year, he added.
Chamberlin will receive retirement benefits he has earned through the Ohio Public Employment Retirement System.
Spatholt also said after the meeting that putting Harold in the interim position with the anticipation that a new manager will not be hired by Jan. 1 is not a result of any delay in the selection process, but because officials want to take time to make sure they select the right person.
Chamberlin made the announcement on Nov. 6 he would be retiring at the end of the year. Council members are discussing the open position in executive sessions held during regular meetings.
In other business, council approved:
- A request from Brenda Foor for the Columbiana Crestview ADAPT (Alcohol Drug Abuse Prevention Team) to hold a Family Fun Fest day in Firestone Park on July 20, 2013. The event has been held in the city the last two years.
- Repealing an October ordinance in which the city would contract with KME Fire Apparatus for the purchase of a ladder truck for the volunteer fire department. Fire Chief Rick Garrity explained the ordinance was repealed as a result of a change in financing, although there was no change in the cost of the new truck, which will be made available to the department by KME next year. The department will use fire levy funding to pay for the $585,432 truck, with financing through Community Leasing Partners. A $305,432 down payment and $59,103.79 payments semi annually through 2015 will have the truck paid off before the end of the fire levy.
- An ordinance to make temporary appropriations or current expenses and other expenditures for the first three months of 2013.
- Setting the dates of regularly scheduled council meetings and meetings of board and commissions. The meetings will remain on the normal schedule, with council meetings on the first and third Tuesday of every month.
- Amending an existing ordinance establishing the wage schedule for certain full and part-time employees, and amending an ordinance establishing pay rates for part-time employees at Firestone Pool.
Chamberlin said the changes are to reflect the increase in minimum wage rates.
Another matter briefly discussed by council was what to do with a new application for a liquor permit for Dollar General located on state Route 14. Chamberlin said the property was previously annexed into the city from Beaver Township and is currently a dry (alcohol-free) area, meaning it likely wouldn't be granted a permit unless that status was changed.
Council then approved a motion to table the matter.

To the editor:
Recently I wrote a letter concerning social justice (on loving thy neighbor). Today, I'm writing on behalf of those who share my conservative views on government, including those in the Catholic community.
As Americans, we want to be good citizens, like our parents and those who came before us, so we look for policies that align with our faith. That means building a country that respects the dignity and rights of everyone, one where I can have a good job, a safe place to live, the medical care I need, and a good education for my friends as well as myself. As Americans, we think we all agree that these things are important, whether we're Catholic or not. Where we disagree is how best to achieve these common goals, and in particular, what the role of government should be. After all, we don't want anarchy: That would be chaos. And we don't want an all-powerful government because then we aren't really free. So as fellow neighbors, how do we understand the balance between different levels of authority and how do we know who should be responsible for what and when?
The answer is an idea from the Catholic Church: It gives us a way to understand the role of government in the broader effort to build the best country for everyone. It's called the principle of subsidiarity. The idea of subsidiarity is that the responsibility for addressing social and economic problems belongs to the closest community or authority that can handle those problems, so individuals are responsible for things like doing their jobs, making purchases, etc. Every family should be in charge of deciding where they want to live. Larger authorities like churches, community organizations and local governments should do those things that individuals can't do alone, like protecting the homeless, feeding the needy, or fighting fires. Finally, state and federal governments should handle those big things that other organizations can't, things like building bridges and fighting terrorism.
Let me give you readers an example of what subsidiarity looks like: In a family setting, my friend Stephen is responsible for doing his math homework every night, but sometimes he encounters a really tough problem and he needs his mom to step in and help. Now, she shouldn't ignore him because she has a responsibility to help him learn, but she also shouldn't just do the homework for him. She needs to provide him the right level of assistance when he needs because that's the best way for him to learn and grow.
It's exactly the same with government: It's most effective when the local authorities are empowered to address the issues closest to them. Now, it can be tempting to think that the federal government should address a lot of problems in our society. After all, it has the most money and resources. But when the federal government gets involved with everyday issues, it can rob local authorities of their ability and their responsibility to do their job. It's like if Stephen's mom just did his homework for him while he was on the couch all night. Stephen might think that it's great at first, but in the long term, it's not good for anyone. Today the people in my community are being asked a lot of questions about responsibility: Who should select a child's school? Who should decide which doctor or health insurance plan your family should receive? Who should care for a local family in need? Who should help the unemployed pay their bills? Who should save for your retirement? For each of our questions, we need to ask ourselves: "Can I do that for myself? Or: "Do I need a larger authority to assist me?"
A lot of times we notice other people seeing problems and they say, "Someone should do something about that." Maybe what we need to realize is that that someone could be us. And maybe it's time we give it a try.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
LeAnn Rimes
- 1982
Mississippi Baby
Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Margaret LeAnn Rimes is the only child of Wilbur and Belinda. After little LeAnn demonstrates the ability to sing in perfect pitch at just 18 months, her parents sign her up for vocal and dance class. By age 5, she is determined to be a performer. "I told my mom and dad, 'This is what I want to do,' and I went for it," Rimes tells Interview in 1998. At 6, she wins her first talent contest when she performs "Getting to Know You."
- early 1990s
Star-Spangled Girl
At 8, Rimes becomes a finalist on Star Search, and becomes a popular act, performing more than 100 stage dates a year. She adds to her local fan base when she sings the national anthem at Dallas Cowboys football games, where Texas deejay Bill Mack hears her. Mack, who wrote a song titled "Blue" for Patsy Cline, taps Rimes (pictured with her parents) to record the ballad.
- 1996
Breakthrough Blues
Just two years after telling the Dallas Morning News, "I'm going to be a huge star," Rimes makes the big time with her breakthrough single and album, Blue. Asked to explain the meaning of "Blue," Rimes giggles: "Something about a man and a girl falling in love or something, I don't know." The 13-year-old's album goes on to sell more than 8 million copies.
Million Dollar Baby
Rimes picks up five Billboard Music Awards and two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, making her the first country artist to win the prestigious award. The Academy of Country Music also names "Blue" Song of the Year, while the Country Music Association hands Rimes the Horizon Award. "It probably wasn't until 'Blue' came out that it hit me that I have this talent that's kind of rare," Rimes tells Interview.
- 1997
How Do I Live
Rimes has two albums in both the country and pop Top 10, with the release of her follow-up album, Unchained Melody: The Early Years. Rimes' hit machine continues with the song "How Do I Live," which spends a record 69 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. In September, Curb releases You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs, helping Rimes become the biggest-selling recording artist in the U.S. for 1997. But at home, the Rimes family is falling apart, with Belinda and Wilbur separating. "It was hell on me," LeAnn tells EW.
- 1998
Growing Pains
Rimes has her sights set on Hollywood and begins talking to producers. "One of the hardest things for me is having people look at you and say, 'Oh, she's such a cute kid,'" Rimes tells the Los Angeles Times. "I understand why people say that. You only expect so much from someone 15, much less 13, when 'Blue' came out. But I don't call myself a teenager. I call myself a businesswoman." In March, Rimes, 15, begins dating 19-year-old actor Andrew Keegan (right), and in the fall moves to L.A. with her mother.
- 2000
Legal Blues
After taking some time off to relax and workout, Rimes files a lawsuit, alleging that her father, Wilbur, and her former co-manager, Lyle Walker, took more than $7 million from her. In a second lawsuit, she sues her record label and seeks to be released from her contract. "I've got many years ahead of me. All this mess will be over soon," she tells Texas Monthly. In brighter news, she appears in Coyote Ugly (left), and wins a Billboard Award for her work on the soundtrack. In December 2001, Curb Records agrees to restructure Rimes' contract, while in 2002, her dispute with her father is settled on undisclosed terms.
- 2001
Dean the Dream
At a rehearsal for the Academy of Country Music Awards show, Rimes, 18, is reintroduced to Dean Sheremet, a dancer she'd met several months earlier when she was dating Keegan. After one date, Rimes tells In Style that she told people, "This is the guy I want to marry." On Feb. 23, 2002, wearing a Vera Wang gown, Rimes marries Sheremet (right). "As soon as she started walking, tears filled my eyes," Sheremet says.
- 2005
This Woman
Rimes wisely returns to her country roots with the album This Woman, which sells more than 100,000 units in its first week and debuts at No. 3 on Billboard's pop album chart. The single "Nothin' But Love Makes Sense" becomes Rimes' first top 10 country hit in more than four years. "I'm definitely confident and comfortable," Rimes, 22, tells the Chicago Sun-Times. "I have 10 years of experience, so it's tough to get anything past me in this business. I've become a very strong woman because of all I've gone through, good and bad."
- 2007
After taking a two-year breather, Rimes releases Family, a fusion of rock, pop, and country tracks, including a duet with Bon Jovi that lands Rimes a nomination from the Academy of Country Music for top female vocalist. "It's taken a long time for people to let go of that little girl that sang 'Blue,'" Rimes tells The State. "I tried to push out of it. I'm changing. I'm a married woman, and I'm 25."

Locks of Love
Gabby Seidler and Rebecca Soffer
For the past year, Rebecca Soffer and Gabriela Seidler have been willing their hair to grow longer faster. They've been pulling it straight and measuring it, waiting for it to grow long enough to be able to cut off 10+ inches to donate to Locks of Love. They've been thinking of the children who have lost their hair because of cancer and other medical conditions who will soon wear a wig made from the donated locks. In celebration of change and hope, they hosted a party to debut their new looks. Over 100 friends and family joined them and helped raise over $2,000 to donate to cancer-focused non-profits. It was important for Gabby and Rebecca to donate to two organizations close to their hearts: the International Myeloma Foundation was a source of information when Gabby's mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and Rebecca has been working with The Wellness Community for several years. At the party, Rebecca and Gabby were able to educate the guests about the work of the two non-profits and the need for funding to benefit the research and support services they currently provide.

Ohayo! My daughter & I rented the Rouroni Kenshin movie from Blockbuster and it was really good. Sorry but I can't remember the exact title. It was very good and we enjoyed it a lot. I wish I could be more informative of the actual title and I apologize for this. I have a feeling that some on here may not be very understanding to this lack of knowledge. Have a Manga~Anime Day! Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana
Was it the Samurai X dvd? I have that one, and it is a GREAT video. I like the Ruroni Kenshin series, but the Samurai X is just so raw and emotional. It really shows Kenshin in a whole new way, but it is still true to him. People fear the strange and unusual. I AM the strange and unusual.
i`d never heard it n watched it be4 but i think it`s very interesting^^ "past is passed and let the past passed away"
I think the OVA's Trust, Betrayal, and Reflections might be on youtube. you should check 'em out.
I liked the Trust and Betrayal movies, Reflection was okay. The Samurai X movie was good but I think it could've been better.
i like the movie i thout that it was and still is very very very cool.

Varsity Female Athlete of the Week: Amanda Sonney, Seneca basketball
Amanda Sonney, Seneca
Amanda Sonney is showing strong signs that she's ready to branch out on her family's basketball tree.
Sonney, a 5-foot 7-inch guard for Seneca, averaged 13.3 points going into the team's two Region 4 road games. She easily exceeded that figure in the Bobcats' split against Girard and Iroquois.
The YellowJackets beat Seneca 48-38 Jan. 21, even though Sonney finished with a game-high 20 points. She also was perfect on her six free-throw attempts. Sonney followed up that effort with a game-high 21 points in the Bobcats' 49-26 victory at Iroquois.
Sonney added 11 points in a tough 44-40 loss Monday to North East. That Region 4 loss left the Bobcats 12-5 overall and 6-4 in the region.
Sonney is the third sibling to compete in varsity basketball for Seneca since the decade started. Clarissa Sonney played there before she graduated in 2010, while brother Eric Sonney Jr. was voted a region all-star for his 2010-11 senior season.
"Watching them play showed me that I needed to improve," Amanda Sonney said. "I didn't play much as a freshman, but I think I improved a lot just by watching them play. I want to show them that I can really play and be just as good as them."
Sonney said her other motivation is helping the Bobcats compensate for the graduation loss of four starters from last season, including all-region selection Sarah Graham. Seneca has a good chance of exceeding the 2011-12 team's total of 16 wins.

Wow the definition of balls:
In Leiweke's opinion, expecting success is a key component to achieving it. That's why he has already planned out a Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Championship parade, via the Washington Post:
"I have it planned out and it's going to be fantastic," Leiweke said yesterday in his first interview since taking over the Toronto-based sports group, which owns the city's National Hockey League franchise, as well as the Raptors basketball team and Major League Soccer's Toronto FC. While employees at MLSE were a little shocked he mentioned winning the Stanley Cup so soon after starting the job on June 3, Leiweke said the company has to focus on results. If you can all dream about that and get that in your mind, we'll have something we're all driven toward," he said he told them.

PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin must have felt like he was teaching the fourth grade last week.
Not only did he have to take ping pong privileges away from his players, he had to warn them against dangerous playground stunts.
The crackdown against ping pong, pool and other locker room games came in the week leading up to Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
It's a principle all teachers embrace: No fun and games until the homework assignments are completed.
The Steelers have ping pong and pool tables in their expansive locker room at the team practice facility. They had been an issue earlier when team veterans determined that younger players couldn't use them.
The vets banned the table games for any players who had less than four years of NFL experience.
Who knows how they arrived at that line of demarcation, but it didn't matter once Tomlin declared the games off limits for all.
The Steelers beat the Jets for their first win of the season. The relationship of that successful outcome to the ban on games was probably just coincidental.
As much as Tomlin enjoyed the success in New Jersey, there was a part of it that rankled him.
That came on the game's only touchdown, when Emmanuel Sanders celebrated a long touchdown completion by somersaulting into the end zone.
It was a cheap look-at-me stunt that a professional shouldn't embrace, and it was potentially dangerous.
If he didn't stick the landing precisely, Sanders took the risk of injuring himself. While that may sound like a cranky old man complaint, there's merit in it.
Pro football is rough enough. Why take bumps that aren't being inflicted by opponents?
So Tomlin said at Tuesday's news conference that he's also banned that sort of needless showboating.
"You don't have to worry about anybody in the black and gold doing it any more," was the way he put it.
The message wasn't just for Sanders. Rookie running back Le'Veon Bell had done something similar in the previous game. Once it starts, players think they should try to top the previous dive.
Escaping trouble
Ben Roethlisberger came this close to being tackled for a safety on the first series of the game against the Jets.
Who knows how things may have changed if the Jets had scored there, then gotten the ball on a free kick.
Roethlisberger is a big man, but he's still elusive, and he still has a knack for sensing when trouble is looming.
Then again, he's had a lot of practice.

Authorities have released the name of the man shot to death at about 5:30 p.m. in an alley off of the 300 block of Susquehanna Street late Wednesday afternoon.
Terell "Rell" Henderson Littles, 21, of Williamsport, died from a single gunshot wound in an alley next to the Pennsylvania College of Technology campus. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police did not wish to reveal the location of the wound, stating they wanted to wait for Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr.'s report.

City police Cpt. Timothy Miller, middle, on Thursday releases the identity of the victim in Wednesday evening's shooting. Also pictured are police Chief Gregory Foresman, left, and Mayor Gabriel J. Campana.
RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
City Bureau of Police Cpt. Timothy Miller answers questions in City Hall on Thursday.
Penn College police was the first department on the scene.
"I was very proud of the work done by our campus police and how well they worked with city and state police," said Dr. Davie Jane Gilmour, college president.
"Incidents like this are very detrimental to the community and the school, and we're certainly concerned about incidents like this happening near our campus. We take student safety very seriously," she added.
Most students are on winter break; however, the college alerted all students of the shooting via email, immediately after it occurred.
"We released an alert to everyone, reminding them to keep out of the area while the incident was unfolding," Gilmour said.
City police detectives are working around-the-clock trying to track down the gunman who killed Littles.
A weary Capt. Timothy Miller, one of several investigators who worked throughout the night trying to follow leads of the case, said on Thursday police had few public details about the homicide.
"Any time we're dealing with an investigation of this nature, sometimes no information is the best information to release," Miller said.
Inaccurate information released by the public via social media networks has, unfortunately, only added to the police force's workload, according to Miller.
"Right now we're having problems because there's a lot of inaccurate information floating around on social media. We want to encourage people not to spread rumors. The worst thing that could happen would be if the wrong person was demonized for a crime they did not commit," he said.
"Every one of those rumors on social media networks we follow up on, and when they're not true we end up wasting our resources," he added. "We're following all the leads as far as they will take us."
Miller encouraged those with accurate information to contact city police.
Edward Lyon, a local businessman and landlord who owns several rental properties near the shooting, expressed outrage over how investigators left a pile of absorbent material on the spot where the victim was slain.
"It is tragic enough to have to have a young man shot here, but to leave it like this. There is no reason for this whatsoever. They've got to clean this up," Lyon said Thursday morning.
"They didn't even clean this up right. Out of disrespect for the kid and his family, out of disrespect for my neighborhood, it's disgusting," Lyon said.
"If this was my family, if this was my son or brother shot, and I saw this, I would be enraged," he said.
Hours after the shooting, someone left a stuffed animal at the scene, immediately next to the absorbent material.
"People have come by here all day and taken pictures. It's all over Facebook. They should have totally washed down (this area)," Lyon said.
Lyon doesn't own the property where the victim was shot but has rentals across the street.
Miller said investigators did everything they could to clean up the scene properly.
"Given the current environmental factors involved, there was nowhere to spray the material, and it was well below freezing," Miller said.
"Short of going out there with ice picks and chopping up the ice or washing it into the snow, there was little else that could be done," Miller said, adding that the alley has no drain.
"We can't control the weather. We can't help that there were no drains. We did everything we could," Miller said.
"We rendered it safe, where it was not a danger to anyone," he added.
Lyon hoped that an arrest soon would be made in the case.
"I'm sweating as a landlord. What do I tell the parents of a ... student, who lives in one of my buildings 80 yards away, that a kid gets shot to death," Lyon asked.
"Clearly, shootings are bad for business. As long the city relies on tax dollars as a primary source of income, this is going to hurt the city, this is going to hurt landlords," Lyon said. "Who wants to live where people are being shot?"

Even if Carl Gerbrandt treated the Greeley Chorale as a hobby, there's a good chance it would have been a fine ensemble.
Gerbrandt was a legend in the opera world by the time he retired. We could go on, but the National Opera Association gave him a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to sacred opera. He was a world-class singer, book author and teacher, which included 20 years as the University of Northern Colorado's first full-time opera director.
So it would be easy, even excusable, for him to think of the Chorale as a lark. But it says something about Gerbrandt that he not only took it seriously, it turned out to be one of the better community chorales in the country. The Greeley Chorale was selected in 1992 as one of only three choirs internationally to perform at the Vienna International Choir Festival. In 2001, it performed with the Beijing Ballet Orchestra, and in 2005, the chorale sang a High Mass in the Vatican before the Pope.
In fact, when Galen Darrough, director of choral activities at UNC, prepared to succeed Gerbrandt as Chorale director over a series of breakfasts, Gerbrandt told him something that's stuck with him: "Bring your 'A' game."
"The Chorale really was his baby," Darrough said.
Because of his work both at UNC and for the Chorale, Gerbrandt leaves behind a legacy few Greeley musicians can match. He died earlier this week of cancer. He was 72 and is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart, Marilyn, and his children, Greg or Lynee. Greg is now a successful opera singer in his own right and performs around the world.

Add a bit of gold glimmer to your closet with the bronze Orthaheel Women's Vionic Olivia, a ballet flat that provides contemporary grace along with topnotch orthotic support. Foot fatigue and the pains of incorrect pronation can soon be gone from your life with this footwear's podiatrist-designed insoles.
Footwear Attributes:
The Orthaheel Women's Vionic Olivia may feel unnatural if worn for extended stretches of hours for the first week or two, so initially wear for lesser spans to give your body the chance to adjust to the award-winning support structure.
I had my feet messured and wss told I was to purchase 8.5, but the 8.5 shoe fell off my foot while getting off my sailboat & ended up in the water. I bought the 8 and it fits perfectly! My feet are a bit narrow & thin on top and the 8 fits fine and stays on my feet! So all I buy now are the size 8snd I have no more problems. They do stretch out a bit after a lot of use snd I wear these a lot! I love them!!
I was so glad to find a pair of supportive shoes that had some modern style to them! The toe box and arch is very comfortable. My toes are not squished at all and these provide a lot of support. But, the heel has rubbed my ankles raw. I have to cover the backs of my heels with band-aids every time I wear them. I've had these about a month now and wear them to work almost every day. I would have thought by now they would have softened up a bit. If the heel was softer, I would give these a 5 star.
Great arch support in this dressy, but comfortable flat. Dressy enough for work but comfortable enough for jeans.
Wide is more narrow than some Orthaheel Medium wides such as the Orthaheel Myla. In fact I ordered both a wide and a medium and there was precious little difference between the two, if any.
I wasn't impressed with the arch support either. Wasn't as high as other Orthaheel shoes I have, thus doesn't keep my feet from some pronation
Everything else about the shoes was fine.
Love the color. I don't need my orthotics!
These feel just great! I have arch and heel issues and these take care of both without a my custom orthotic. And so cute too! I am going to order other styles!

EAST LIVERPOOL - The Columbiana County Port Authority will have a new person handling its money come Jan. 1.
Diane K. Ksiazek of Wintersville, who has extensive experience in the commercial banking industry, was hired last week as the board's new manager of finance and administration. She is replacing Sandy Steele, who is retiring at the end of the year after nearly 20 years in the position.
Tracy Drake, the port authority's chief executive officer, said Ksiazek was a unanimous recommendation of Drake and Fiscal Officer Penny Traina, who conducted the interviews of the four people who were approached about the job.
"I think she'll bring some additional experience we can obviously use," he said.
Ksiazek is currently vice president of business banking for CFBank in Wellsville, a position she has held since 2011. Prior to that she was vice president manager of the special assets department at First Place Bank in Warren and the former Sky Bank. Before that, Ksiazek was senior vice president and lending/assistant secretary to the board of directors/regulation officer at Unibank in Steubenville.
"She's very qualified," Traina said. "She brings a lot of banking and accounting experience to the table."
Ksiazek said her job required quite a bit travel and she was happy to take a position that would keep her closer to home. She was also excited about the prospect of a career change and being involved with an organization devoted to spurring economic development in the area.
Drake knew of Ksiazek through their mutual membership on local professional boards. Ksiazek's salary will be $67,500 - the same as Steele's - and her employment begins immediately so she can start learning the job before Steele retires.
Steele was hired by the port authority in early 1994, just months after Drake came on board. He said they worked together to move the port authority forward on a variety of projects and will miss her, calling Steele the "most honest, insightful person I've ever had the opportunity to work with."
In other action, Drake said they are still in talks with Aqua Infrastructure LLC to purchase the port authority railroad. Aqua was supposed to close on the $3 million deal by June 30 but declined to do so because of "operational issues."
Drake said negotiations are continuing. "We're in discussions with Aqua as well as others with potential to do a deal that may be bigger than what we were looking at before," he said after the meeting. "We're going to have a deal. It's just a matter of what final form it takes."
Aqua was interested more in the railroad right of way to install waterlines to supply water for oil and gas drilling operations in the area.

A man who admitted schooling people in "doctor shopping" as a way to illegally get prescription drugs was sentenced Tuesday by Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny to nine years in prison.
Michael McCall, who saw a more serious charge of overseeing a drug network dropped by federal prosecutors, pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to possess and sell Oxycontin.
McCall, as part of a plea deal, admitted selling Oxycontin and, in a few instances, instructing people on what to say and do when requesting a prescription for Oxycontin from a doctor.
The investigation into McCall, headed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, targeted drug dealers who relied on unsuspecting doctors and pharmacists and catered to people from all walks of life, many of them teenagers.
His arrest followed the highly publicized deaths of several young people using illegal prescription drugs and subsequently heroin, a drug often linked to painkillers and other prescription drugs.
