After months of ups and downs with estranged husband Lamar Odom, 34, the reality star, 29, filed for divorce on Dec. 13, and is finally ready to move forward with her life.
"What Khloé is going through is definitely challenging, I'm not going to lie," her mom, Kris Jenner, told PEOPLE at her #cirocthenewyear pledge party at L.A.'s Mixology 101 on Tuesday.
"It's also a very interesting time for her because it's very cleansing," she continued. "She's also showed this side of her that I didn't know she had. I always knew Khloé was strong, but I never dreamed that she had this kind of strength."
Despite the difficult time, Jenner says her daughter is determined to learn from the experience.
"It's definitely life lessons that she will be able to apply and use later in her life," she said. "She's learned a lot from this situation."
The couple were married for four years and Odom became a member of the close-knit clan, so it's no surprise that Jenner still thinks highly of the NBA star.
"I still love Lamar and I love Khloé, and I hate, hate they're going through this. But if it's something that Khloé feels she needs to do, then I'm 150 percent behind her. We all lean on each other, we have to."
"He's a family friend. We all live in the same neighborhood and we all hang out," she explained. "He's a great guy who we adore, but he's just a friend. That's it."
Jenner, who along with her kids Kourtney and Robert, is supporting Ciroc's anti drinking and driving campaigns, is passionate about telling people to drink responsibly – especially over the holidays.
"At this time of year I think people get excited about celebrating but don't think about the consequences of something terrible happening," she said. "I worry about my family and everyone driving around. So you have to make sure that everyone has the tools they need to be safe."

Joe Sweatt won the fifth installment of this year's Player of the Week contest sponsored by Tony Pope State Farm Insurance of Mount Pleasant between Palmetto Christian, Wando and Bishop England football players.
Sweatt, a sophomore defensive lineman for Palmetto Christian, was reporter Tyler Heffernan's pick after he led the Eagles in tackles with seven, caused two fumbles and had one sack during the win at Colleton Prep, Sept. 27.
Despite limited varsity playing experience, Sweatt has quickly become one of Palmetto Christian's best lineman, especially at getting to the opposing quarterback. He has 18 solo tackles this season and an assist, including one sack. He also has two pass deflections, three recovered fumbles and two forced fumbles.
With the win, Palmetto Christian took a 3-2 series lead over Wando in this friendly contest rivalry. Wando senior defensive lineman Love Scott came in second place by a narrow margin, followed by Bishop England running back Nick Shiver. The Battling Bishops are still searching for their first win this season.
This week's contest does not include Wando players, because the Warriors had a bye week, thanks to a Week 0 game against James Island.
Every week during the high school football season, you vote among six players – two from each of the three East Cooper programs – for who you think is most deserving of the title of Player of the Week. This week, though, you'll choose from two Bishop England players and two Palmetto Christian players.
The voting process is done entirely online at www.MoultrieNews.com/POTW. Reporter Tyler Heffernan chooses one player from each of the three teams and each team's respective head coach picks one player from his team.
You can only vote once. Every Tuesday, the newest set of nominations are announced on our website. Voting is open until the following Monday at noon, which leaves about six days for voting.
Tyler's BE pick
Chandler Sambets: The senior lineman recorded five solo tackles and three assists, including two tackles for a loss, as Bishop England beat Battery Creek.
BE coach John Cantey's pick
Hudson Little: The junior lineman had seven solo tackles during the Battling Bishops' 17-0 homecoming victory over region opponent Battery Creek.
Tyler's PCA pick
J.T. Waters: The senior quarterback had eight touchdowns (six rushing, two passing), ran for 239 yards and threw for 210 yards during Palmetto Christian's win against Bible Baptist.
PCA coach Jim Daniel's pick
Will Tuchfarber: The senior wide receiver had four catches for 41 yards, a touchdown and a two-point conversion. As a linebacker, he recorded six tackles, including two sacks.

Natalie Merchant is running a little bit late, her publicist tells me. In fact, she has an engagement at her daughter's school that has run just a few minutes past schedule. But she'll be calling me as soon as she gets back home, and my patience is appreciated.
Not exactly the rock star life, is it? But then, Merchant has never been the typical rock star, despite reaching the heights of pop stardom with Jamestown's 10,000 Maniacs in the latter 1980s and early '90s, appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1993, and piloting a post-Maniacs solo career of both commercial and artistic merit. Throughout all of this activity, Merchant has crafted a delicate balance between intellectualism and sensuality in her art.
Merchant's most recent project, an album called "Leave Your Sleep," and an ancillary picture book of the same name, illustrated by Barbara McClintock, finds the revered singer and songwriter transforming classic children's poems into new compositions. The inspiration for the project was Merchant's daughter, Lucia, born in 2003 to Merchant and husband Daniel de la Calle. (The couple has since divorced.)
The "Leave Your Sleep" material has also yielded a new run of ambitious concerts, which find Merchant interpreting the material with the help of orchestras in cities spread across the country. Merchant will join the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at Kleinhans Music Hall for just such a program, at 8 p.m. Saturday.
Here, Merchant chats with me regarding the creation of "Leave Your Sleep," a new New York City public school curriculum based on the album and book, "motherhood as an art form," working with symphony orchestras and the difficulties involved with aging gracefully in the pop music public eye.
Q. Let's talk about the project that transformed the "Leave Your Sleep" album into a curriculum for students at New York City public schools. The album seems like the perfect vehicle to introduce kids to the power of both poetry and music, and also to the way the two can be married together to produce a third art form. How was the experience for you?
A. The whole project really transformed me and transitioned me into a direction I've wanted to go for a very long time – toward education through music. I've wanted to work with young people in this capacity forever. I want to give them beauty, and appeal to them through a level of sophistication that children absolutely have. We ended up using the album and the book as a course curriculum in 100 public schools, and it was a fantastic experience, for me certainly, but more importantly, for the kids.
The idea from my perspective was to teach the kids context, to give examples of how everything is connected, whether it's a poem that is 100 years old, or a piece of music that is even older – these things can have resonance for them in the present tense. Understanding context leads to empathy, and empathy is something that absolutely must be nurtured in children.
The arts are all about the way we live in our time, in our historical moment, and the way that moment is connected to historical moments in the past. Music elevates and makes kids feel included in a shared common culture. The big point is this – our culture will die without the children perpetuating it.
Q. You've performed in a wide variety of formats over the years – from full rock band, to a more subtle acoustic environment. What particular challenges are involved in working with a chamber group or orchestra?
A. To be perfectly honest, the only real challenge comes down to the orchestra itself. Having a great orchestra is more than half the battle. I've been blown away by my experiences with these different orchestras. The whole experience has been extremely pleasurable. The different musicians in the orchestras have been very impressed by the scores we're bringing in for the songs. These are remarkable musicians, too. They bring unerring efficiency, and that efficiency lends to the power, the passion and the beauty of the performance.
Q. Kleinhans and the Buffalo Philharmonic – this seems like a situation tailor-made for what you're doing, no?
A. Kleinhans and the Buffalo Philharmonic have incredible significance in my life. My mother was fanatical about the BPO and Chautauqua orchestra. She was a single mother working for slave wages, but she still found a way to contribute to public radio, and whenever we could, we'd hear the BPO perform. This was a huge part of my life, and of my musical education.
When I was 9 years old, the BPO came to play a concert at my school in Jamestown. This was during the period that Michael Tilson Thomas was the conductor, and he was a hero to me. I got his autograph! To be playing Kleinhans with the BPO now – well, it's a huge deal for me.
Q. Can you discuss how motherhood became an inspiration for the creation of "Leave Your Sleep"?
A. The project was born out of my desire to make art out of motherhood. When you become a parent and you also happen to be an artist, there are two roads you can go down – you can either push the art to the side and concentrate wholly on being a parent, or you can continue your free-flowing artistic life as it was before you became a parent, which usually means hiring someone else to basically raise your child for you. Neither of these options seemed ideal to me. So I guess I created a third option.
The project started rather innocently. While I taught my daughter by reading to her and playing her music, I was rediscovering the literature of my own childhood. I simply started to put these beautiful children's poems to music, and in the process, I channeled my creativity into mothering.
Q. You've always been a unique lyricist, and the lyrics in your songs have been a very significant factor in their emotional resonance. How much of a challenge was it for you to then work with someone else's words?
A. Because the project started out so innocently and organically – a mother singing to her child – I never really had time, or reason, to get too freaked out about it. It just felt completely natural to me.
Q. The only other artist that comes to mind when thinking of transforming another's poems into new songs is Joni Mitchell. Joni worked with poems written by William Butler Yeats and Rudyard Kipling. Was her work in this area an influence on you?
A. Not consciously, I don't think. Because this project was so specifically aimed at connecting with my daughter and at the same time maintaining my own artistic creativity, I guess it all felt ... not insular, but sort of separate, within its own world.
Q. This is not exactly breaking news, but it is incredibly difficult to mature with grace and dignity within the world of popular music. Do you think it is even more so for a woman?
A. Wow. Yes. Well, I suppose it depends what kind of an artist you want to be. In a way, I was mature from the age of 18, when I started out, writing about a different kind of love, not the drama-filled romantic entanglements of most pop music. I never really sang about teen angst. As a result, I can still sing those songs now, at my age, with conviction and emotional involvement.
Aging in this culture is not dealt with very effectively. There is wisdom that can only come with experience. Instead of seeing aging as decrepitude and decay, we can see it as something beautiful and natural. You know, I dyed my hair forever, but recently, I stopped dying it altogether, and now I'm fully and completely gray. I had to learn to embrace that.
There's always a place for teen rebellion and young adult angst. But there's so much to be said for experience. If you've nursed children, if you've nursed your parents to a dignified death, if you've watched dear friends suffer, struggle, or even pass away – you have something to report on, you know?
Q. Do you ever get the sense that the pop music industry, for want of a better description, is condescending to young people by assuming that they don't want or can't deal with anything deeper or more meaningful than teen angst and sex?
A. Here's how I'll answer that. When I was touring with Bob Dylan about 15 years back, I'd notice that roughly 90 percent of the audience was comprised of people in their 20s. He's an icon for generation after generation. Young people were eager to hear what he has to say. That's encouraging.
At the same time, the youth needs to keep producing icons of their own, while acknowledging the icons of the past. It needs to be this way. It's the natural order of things.

The Political War on the NYPD
New York's top cop Ray Kelly on fighting crime and fighting off critics of a basic police tool: stopping suspicious characters and checking for weapons.
These should be the glory days for Ray Kelly. His years as New York police commissioner—13 in all and the last 11 since 2002—have seen crime rates plunge, the murder rate hit a historic low, and several foiled terror plots since 9/11 but no successful attack. The last time the city felt this safe, the Dutch were raising cattle at the bottom of Manhattan.
So why are Mr. Kelly and his officers suddenly under ferocious political assault?
Related Videos
"The police department has sort of become a piñata in this mayoral race," he says with matter-of-fact candor on a recent visit to the Journal's offices. "Their goal is to see who can get as far to the left as possible because they see that as the key to winning the primary. A small number of people and groups control the Democratic primary."
The liberal candidates—there is no other kind in these parts—are whacking with particular gusto at a police tactic called "stop-and-frisk." The practice involves stopping people who behave suspiciously, questioning them and, if they appear to present a threat, frisking them to see if they're carrying a weapon. The accusation is that this age-old police tactic unfairly targets minorities.
Surveying the current Democratic candidates, Mr. Kelly explains their basic campaign strategy: "You suck up to a special-interest advocacy group." One such group is the Center for Constitutional Rights, which is suing the NYPD in federal court to stop stop-and-frisk.
An audiotape recently played at that federal trial featured police commanders who were secretly recorded by an officer who has complained of discrimination. When the complaining officer asks if he should stop "every black and Hispanic" in a particular minority neighborhood, one of the commanders rejects the idea and says that in that neighborhood, the suspects in a recent series of robberies and larcenies were "male blacks 14 to 20, 21." Elsewhere on the recording, the same commander says, "The point here is that 99% of the people in this community are great, hard-working people who deserve" a safe neighborhood. Another supervisor tells the subordinate not to accost people without cause but to question people who appear to be "doing something wrong."
In some local media outlets, the recording was presented as evidence of racial profiling. "They are hellbent on finding anything they can wrong with the department," says Mr. Kelly of his press critics.
The profiling accusation is especially galling to the 71-year-old former Marine and Vietnam vet. "We have transformed this police department," Mr. Kelly says. "We've made major changes in the last decade. For instance, the police-officer rank is majority minority. Nobody knows that. You can't get that story out."
Another story that doesn't get out is the astonishing transformation of New York City over the past two decades. In 1990, there were 2,245 murders, a record. There was a sense of menace in every borough and on the subways. A 10-year-old girl was strangled to death. A 22-year-old tourist was killed defending his mother against a gang of muggers. Dozens of New Yorkers were killed by stray bullets.
Since that terrible year, the annual number of murders has fallen more than 80%, to 419 in 2012. If the 1990 murder level had been maintained for the past 23 years, the rough math suggests that perhaps 40,000 New Yorkers—most of them black and Hispanic—wouldn't be alive today.
The revolution in safer streets occurred even as the city was adding more than a million new residents—to 8.4 million today—since 1990. Completing this tale of rare government success, Mr. Kelly notes that the current police force of 35,000 has 6,000 fewer officers than when he became commissioner in 2002.
Mr. Kelly says that stop-and-frisk is a critical—and constitutional—part of this success. "We put our officers right in the middle of where the problems are, mostly minority areas," says the 43-year veteran of the NYPD. "You develop very quickly a sense of who's doing right and who's doing wrong—and who's carrying a gun."
What counts as suspicious? Mr. Kelly mentions "scouting out a car, or following people." Or several young men waiting outside a bodega near closing time, or standing in the shadows near an ATM.
As Mr. Kelly describes it, when a police officer observes such activity, he is allowed to approach people and "ask them the nature of their business, what they're doing." He says this is legal under New York law and in "virtually every other jurisdiction in America." If the officer then feels threatened, he is permitted to do a "limited pat down" of the potential suspect. And if the officer feels something that he believes is a weapon, he can conduct a "full search."
In trying to spot the troublemakers before shots are fired, are the police unfairly targeting minorities? The commissioner says the data suggest that blacks are "under-stopped significantly," while other ethnic groups are "over-stopped." He reports that 53% of stops involve African-Americans, though blacks commit more than 70% of crimes. Hispanics on the other hand make up 32% of stops but commit 26% of crimes.
The top cop adds that even if his department is taking heat from the left, police stops of suspicious characters are popular where likely crime victims live. After all, 96% of shooting victims and 90% of murder victims in New York City are black or Hispanic.
"I was in a black church this Sunday. Standing ovation," Mr. Kelly says. "They know they're being victimized. They know crime has gone down in the black communities and they are very much concerned about it going back up."
The court case has him concerned about the potential loss of a powerful deterrent. "If you don't run the risk of being stopped, you start carrying your gun, and you do things that people do with guns. And you see what you have in some other places in this country."
Could crime-riddled places like Chicago learn from New York's example? "People come here and look at what we're doing all the time, and we have manuals. I think the biggest difference is political support," Mr. Kelly says. He believes that the "steadfast" backing of Mayor Michael Bloomberg is the key ingredient in the department's success—and derives partly from the mayor's vast personal fortune. "If you are an ordinary politician and you're counting on campaign contributions, the pressures are different."
The mayor has joined Mr. Kelly in criticizing a recent proposal from Democratic mayoral front-runner Christine Quinn to create a new inspector general to oversee the NYPD. The department is already overseen by two independent city agencies, plus the five district attorneys and two U.S. attorneys based in New York City. Mr. Kelly views the additional layer of bureaucracy as "totally unworkable" and says he already runs an organization with more oversight "than any police department in America."
Meanwhile, the stop-and-frisk case continues in the federal district court of Judge Shira Scheindlin, while the Brennan Center at New York University and the New York Civil Liberties Union keep pressure on the mayoral candidates to turn left. "It's just a small group and they have intimidated these politicians to take this route. And also, in my view, the judge is very much in their corner and has been all along throughout her career," he says, again with calm if surprising candor. If police can't do stops, he says, "you'd need another 50,000 cops" to protect the city.
"I think one of the biggest scams in law enforcement is the monitor," Mr. Kelly says. The plaintiffs in the stop-and-frisk suit have demanded such an overseer to watch the police. Mr. Kelly describes how the practice has worked under an "extremely aggressive" U.S. Justice Department going "around to different cities," where "they'll find some sort of discriminatory pattern in their minds."
The feds threaten to sue the cities unless they agree to a civil-rights monitor, and most cities agree, to avoid the cost of litigation. "So it'll be a politically acceptable lawyer who will be put in there and will always find something wrong, because they get paid. A city like Detroit pays, I don't know, a couple million dollars a year, whatever, to this firm and guess what? Nothing is ever right, because if I find everything's right then I stop getting paid."
So apart from stop-and-frisk, what are the other secrets to anticrime success? He partly credits an increasing focus on youth gangs and the way they communicate. "There is a social media component, because these kids, these crews, are bragging and telegraphing what they're going to do in terms of who they're going to shoot, who they're going to kill. They go in front of the [intended victim's] house and they'll stand in front of it and get a picture. And they try to play a game with code. But we break the code."
If only terrorists were always dumb enough to leave Twitter clues. Mr. Kelly's tenure has also been marked by the lack of a successful terror attack. The NYPD's 1,000-strong counterterrorism force works closely with Washington, and Mr. Kelly is concerned about a possible lowering of the federal guard.
"If you look at the latest National Intelligence Estimate," he says, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Defense "are sort of now downplaying the threat of terrorism. . . . They look back historically, 'Hey look how few really big events we've had.' Meantime, I see New York City differently. We've had 16 plots against the city."
One recent example: Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, who "thought he was blowing up the Federal Reserve Bank" of New York as part of an FBI sting operation, the commissioner says. "He goes to the New York Stock Exchange, sees the police that we have there and he decides he can't do it. Too much security." So the suspect instead parked what he thought was a van full of explosives in front of the Fed and tried to detonate it from a distance with a cellphone.
"There are other investigations of young people like this that are ongoing right now," says Mr. Kelly. "We see ourselves as the number one target and we have this stream of young men who want to come here and kill us."
Media reports have suggested that his department unfairly monitors the Muslim community—the Associated Press ran a Pulitzer Prize-winning series on that score in 2011. Asked what he has changed about the NYPD's surveillance methods in the wake of those stories, Mr. Kelly says: "Nothing."
An old judicial consent decree, modified after 9/11, lays out exactly what the police are allowed to do in gathering public information that may help prevent terrorism, he says. The department follows these rules. Next question.
OK, here's one: Will Ray Kelly jump into the mayoral race and take on his critics? On the recent church visit where the crime-fighter was so warmly received, many of the congregants urged him to run. But Mr. Kelly notes that a certain woman named Veronica, his wife of 49 years, opposes the idea. Many New Yorkers are hoping she'll reconsider.
Mr. Freeman is assistant editor of the Journal's editorial page.

A Depew man who injured another driver when he crashed into her car Thursday night on Elmwood Avenue at Kenmore Avenue has been charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and common law DWI.
Kenmore Police said Bryan Kroon, 30, of Transit Road, had a blood alcohol level of 0.26 percent, more than three times the legal limit.
The other driver, a 59-year-old woman, was taken to Erie County Medical Center for treatment. Her name has not been released.
Police said Kroom slammed into her car in the intersection and almost hit a woman waiting for an Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority bus before his car spun into a fence and hit a light pole.

Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King
The Gist: It seems the weekday recaps are gonna be a little harder to get to for me. Andrew Cashner got his first major league start and threw quite well except for a 3rd inning home run to Ryan Roberts. He made it into the 6th on just 72 pitches (43 for strikes) and 10 groundballs to 5 flyballs. Then the bad news...he felt something in his shoulder and left the game with a 4-1 lead and went for an MRI, which we should hear the results tomorrow.
That meant going to the depleted bullpen that was without the services of Marmol and Wood. Samardzija was up first and pitched quite well in the 6th, striking out Kelly Johnson and Justin Upton to end the inning on some nice breaking pitches. Q-Ball tempted fate though by putting Samardzija out there in the 7th and he promptly walked the leadoff man. He did get the next batter on a fielder choice and then after a visit by Q-Ball, walked the next batter to end his day(good pep talk). That meant Marcus Mateo who had nothing going for him as he walked a hitter and gave up a single to allow the first of Samardzija's inherited runs.. In came James Russell, who got the lefty Russ Branyan swinging, but gave up a single up the middle to Willie Bloomquist that tied the game before ending the inning by getting Kelly Johnson out.
The Cubs came back in the 7th to take the lead again with Byrd's third hit of the day(welcome to the 2011 season) plating the lead run and Tyler Colvin walking with the bases loaded for the needed insurance run. Russell came back out in the 8th, with Q-Ball clearly saving John Grabow for possible extras and Sean Marshall for the 9th. He promptly gave up a leadoff single, but that was erased by a 3-6-1 double play started by Colvin and awkawrdly finished by Russell who somehow kept his foot on the bag on the throw back. And then ended the inning striking out Chris Young.
Marshall got in a little trouble in the 9th, giving a run back. But an amazing play by Starlin Castro to nail Xavier Nady on a bouncer that went off Marshall's glove that Castro came in on, barehanded and whipped across on a short hop probably saved the day (replays did show that Nady was safe). Then Marshall ended it by getting Bloomquist swinging for his first save of the season.
Some other notes...
- Fukudome got on base 3 out of 5 times out of the leadoff spot which is great. What wasn't great was him not advancing to third in the first on Byrd's looper down the left field line. The ball was heading toward the left field line which means Fukudome easily could have been standing on 2nd and even slightly past even if he thought there was any chance to catch it and should have been hustling to third the second he could see the catch wasn't going to be made. This isn't a question of speed, but of awareness. And of course Ramirez flies deep to left the next at-bat that would have scored him. Then in the second he got nailed at home on a gapper to left by Castro. That one didn't seem too bad, a lesser leadoff man doesn't get on-base in the first place to get Castro up there and Young did cut it off from getting to the wall and of course the nice relay home.
- Assuming Cashner misses at least one start, with the off day Thursday, the next time a 5th starter is needed is at Houston on Tuesday. My assumption is Casey Coleman would be first in line for a start, meaning a roster move (likely Cashner to the DL, but possibly someone else getting sent down if he's only missing the one start). If the injury ends up being serious, I don't think the Cubs will go back to Carlos Silva, seemed some bridges were burned when he departed. I would of course love for the Cubs to go after the Twins Kevin Slowey, but don't know the asking price (allegedly a reliever that can help now...think Sean Marshall quality) or how Slowey's arm is doing after his injury last year.
Parachat Moment:
Me: "I stepped away from the computer. How did Koyie Hill get on-base? Act of God?
sbwilliams: "He walked on four pitches...so yes."
Cubs go for the sweep today before the day off on Thursday...Armando Galarraga vs. Ryan Dempster.

Re: Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King
Sorry, I meant to say "free content".
Pretty bad that a guy we don't even have in the system is the favorite.
Re: Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King
(replays did show that Nady was safe)
I didn't think they were conclusive. There was one shot where he looked completely safe, and another where it was much less clear. Of this latter shot, Kasper opined it appeared to be a correct call.
Not that it matters much. Here's hoping for the sweep today.
Re: Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King
so one shot says he was safe, one was inconclusive and you and Len are leaning towards he was out?
Pretty much. :)
The shot where he looked safe was a worse shot (blocked by 1st baseman). The inconclusive shot was a better shot. And like Len, I think it leaned toward out. But I also generally give the umpires the benefit of the doubt on close calls.
Re: Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King
It was a makeup call for the double play ball where he was more clearly out.
Anyway, it was a pretty nice play for a guy who's not a natural shorstop, as well as the starting of the double play that never was.
Re: Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King
I thought the same thing. Only a few plays before this one the Cubs got stiffed on a call. It goes both ways.
Re: Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King

On TV, Kasper and Brenley criticized the coach for first sending him and then changing to a stop sign.
STEVENS: FWIW, Mark Grace said the same thing on the D'backs TV broadcast. Said Ivan DeJesus put up the STOP! sign too late, because by that time Fukudome had seen the wave home, and was looking at the 3rd base bag and making his turn at full blast.
Grace also opined that that the Nady call could have gone either way on that close play at 1st base, and that since neither Arizona 1st base coach Eric Young or manager Kirk Gibson argued the call, the D'backs must not have thought it was a bad call, either, because both Young and Gibson will argue when they think the umpire made an incorrect call.
Re: Game 5 Quick Recap - Cashner is King
Did you catch the bit where Grace referred to the D-Backs as "them"? It was sometime in the 9th, I can't remember the exact circumstance.

REAL NEAL: He tries hard to pretend that he's an Arizonan now (heck, so am I!), but I think we all know that Mark Grace left his heart in Chicago.
What's telling is when broadcast partner Darin Sutton mentions that Gracey is treated like a king everywhere he goes in Chicago and asks Mark about Chicago, he always says he loves the city, he loves the fans, and he loves the ballpark, but I never hear him say anything good about the Cubs organization. I think he might have burned some bridges there.

First Cub victory at home this year for me!
Saw all four starters this year
RIP Arnie. We could use a lot more like you -- a man who succeeded and failed on his own terms, a true original, and, finally, a remarkable example of graciousness towards others.
Cubs finish 33 over at home. I was, personally, one game over at 3-2, which was one of my better years in a while.
I do hope that's the last time we see the Cardinals this year. A lot of power, which is dangerous, particularly in a short series, and they have really shut down KB all year.
Oh, and Jon Lester? Damn!
Yes. Boating accident at 3AM. Very sad, but stupid. Young men do stupid things.
lester puts 2 on and is taken out at 96 pitches. oh well.
edwards in.
2 out in the 7th, lester at 84 pitches, ross taken out for the standing O.
it's possible contreras will catch lester for another inning+.
What a weird day. Jose Fernandez and Arnold Palmer, but then Scully and, on a much more modest level, Ross....
d.ross gets his 2nd standing O on the night (last home game of the season)...hits HR #10...curtain call. baseball.
as a fan, he only "owes" us the game on the field and not getting in the way of others on his team being ready to play (imo).
it's exponentially worse to his family and friends, but this dude most likely had 15+ years of play left and even though he just turned 24 a couple months ago he had already established himself as a top guy in the game.

I know what you're trying to say, Charlie, that none of us feels what his loved ones must be feeling.
On the other hand, what makes a death like this tragic is precisely the loss, based on Fernandez's youth and brilliance, to the baseball world.
So, for example, we can say that Princess Diana's death meant more, in aggregate, to millions of admirers who didn't know her personally than to her loved ones.
boston pitching snags a couple of mlb team records...
"Over nine innings of play, Boston's staff struck out 11 straight Tampa Bay Rays hitters Sunday, breaking the major-league record for most consecutive strikeouts in a game.
The previous record was held by former New York Mets right-hander Tom Seaver, who struck out 10 straight hitters in 1970.
Not only that, but with a strikeout to end the ninth, sending the game into extras, Boston's staff also struck out an MLB-record 21 batters over nine innings."
What a loss to baseball, which I'm sure pales in comparison to the personal loss to his loved ones.
Somehow I am sensing alcohol was involved. The highest number of boating accidents by a wide margin...
this season got a whole lot less fun
Reports this morning that Marlins' pitching ace Jose Fernandez died in a boating accident - just horrible news.

The Stetson men's basketball team (2-5) fell at home to Florida Atlantic (3-3) by a score of 88-78 on Thursday night at the Edmunds Center. Senior Adam Pegg led the Hatters with 24 points, while junior Willie Green tied a career high with 10 rebounds.
Prior to Thursday's contest, Stetson head coach Casey Alexander was aware that defending FAU's dynamic scorer Greg Gantt was going to be a challenge. After the lefty shooting guard scored 11 points in the first five minutes, and gave the Owls an early 15-5 lead, it became obvious to everyone else as well.
Knocking down 4-of-5 three-pointers on 8-of-11 from the field in the first half en route to a 21 point frame, many of which came with a Hatter defender in his face, Gantt led FAU to a 41-28 lead at the break.
"Gantt's a great shooter," Alexander said after the game. "He does it against everybody. That's all we talked about in the scouting report. He had 21 at halftime, and I'd have to watch it again to be sure, but at least 10 of them I would take any time. He just made them, and that's what great players do."
It could have been worse, though, as FAU led by as many as 16 in the first half. A steal by Jordan McCoy led to a Pablo Bertone reverse layup to make it 30-14 in favor of the Owls with 9:01 to play in the half, but Stetson fought back.
After the under eight media timeout, Green stole the ball and fed junior Chris Perez for a layup on the break to start a 9-0 run for the Hatters. Senior Joel Naburgs hit 1-of-2 from the line, Green drove to the lane for two, freshman Logan connected on a floater from the right side of the lane, and senior Liam McInerney picked up a long rebound and finished the layup on the other end to make it 30-23 with 4:54 to play in the half.
The Owls finished the period on a 10-4 run to take their 13-point lead into the break. FAU took advantage of Stetson's 12 first half turnovers, finishing the half with 12 points off of turnovers.
"I think the biggest difference in the game - on our end - were the 18 turnovers," Alexander said. "And more importantly, it was that 12 of those came in the first half. We should be a good ball handling team, but we took too many opportunities away from ourselves with turnovers."
Unlike the first half, when the Hatters had a difficult time entering the ball into Pegg in the post, and the Stetson center only went 3-of-8 when he did get the ball, the senior got on track in the second. Pegg sparked a 15-4 run that cut FAU's 18-point lead to just seven, at 58-51, with 10:51 to play in the game.
Pegg hit a three and then connected on a jump hook in the paint to score the first five points of the run. A couple of free throws from Irwin came before another Pegg three, a layup by McInerney, and a Irwin triple to get Stetson right back into the game.
That ended up being as close as the Hatters would get, though, as the two teams traded baskets for most of the way before a three-pointer by sophomore Dennis Diaz made the final score 88-78.
"I hope that means we're coming together a bit, and that we're playing against the game more so than what the outcome is," Alexander said of Stetson's ability to fight back on Thursday. "And when you do that, the result is going to be what you want it to be more often than not."
Gantt finished with a career high 34 points on 13-of-23 shooting, and 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. Stefan Moody added 17 points, while McCoy and Bertone added 12 each. The Owls finished with six blocks and 11 steals, numbers that aren't off the charts, but look much better when compared to Stetson's two blocks and three steals.
"Greg Gantt got them off to an unbelievable start making those shots," Alexander continued. "We were in a hole early, and it was tough, it was tough for 40 minutes. I'm really proud of our guys for playing hard the whole time. I wish, for their sake, that we had something to show for it, but we played a team tonight that was better than we were."
Pegg led the Hatters with 24 points on 10-of-17 from the floor. Stetson finished with four players in double figures as Irwin scored 13, Perez totaled 12, and Naburgs tacked on 11. Irwin led the team with four assists, while Green's career-best 10 rebounds were also a game high.
Stetson will stay at home for its next contest, hosting Florida International on Sunday, Dec. 9. The Hatters and the Panthers will tipoff at 2:00 p.m. at the Edmunds Center with coverage on HatterVision, ASun.TV, WSBB 1230 AM, 1490 AM, and MyAM1230.com.

|Registration and Academic Guide 2015-2016
Graduate Students and Admissions Status
Graduate students will remain in active admissions status for two (2) terms, excluding summer term, from the last date of attendance to the next registration. Graduate students who wish to return to Ferris State University after (2) terms, excluding summer term, have elapsed must reapply for admission.
Absences for Temporary Active Military Service
Ferris State University will make reasonable accomodations for students who are absent from the University when called to temporary active military service. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the faculty in writing as soon as the temporary assignment has been received. Upon formal notification, the faculty will excuse the student from the class, labs, and clinics for the temporary active military service (not to exceed 12 consecutive calendar days of classes) and allow the student to make up all class work including missed exams and presentations; however, the student is responsible for completion of all missed work within a reasonable time as determined by the faculty. If the class requires class participation during the time missed, the student's participation grade will be averaged only for the class periods excluding the temporary active military service.
If a student disagrees with the faculty member's determination, the student may make a written appeal to the dean of the student college. The decision of the dean is final.
Students that need to miss more than 12 consecutive calendar days of classes may need to consider a military withdrawal. See here.

Westminster College offers three main options to study, travel, or serve internationally. Most students take advantage of the May Term trips that faculty lead each year. Space is limited, so look for information about the options for the upcoming May Term as early as November. A few students complete internship overseas. Please contact the Career Resource Center if you are interested in an international internship. Finally, a number of students spend an entire semester studying abroad. The Diversity and International Center counsels and assists interested students and has the paperwork needed to ensure the credits (and sometimes financial aid) will transfer. These forms must be completed before one leaves on any international experience.
Westminster College is also a member of the Utah Asian Studies Consortium. This consortium consists of all the universities and colleges in Utah, and it exists to promote connections between faculty and students in Utah and businesses and schools in Asia. The consortium offers May Term trips, internships, semester study abroad programs, and other opportunities in several Asian countries for Westminster students. Scholarships are available (through the consortium) for most of these activities. Please see Assistant Professor Steve Hurlbut in the Gore School of Business for more information.

Sitting at the intersection of brand and culture | Opensource.com
Sitting at the intersection of brand and culture
There's a great new blog post up this week on the Harvard Business Review blog site by Bill Taylor, founder of Fast Company magazine and author of the book Mavericks at Work, entitled Brand is Culture, Culture is Brand.
As I read the post, I couldn't help but smile, as the primary point of the article is one about which I feel strongly. From the article:
The new "power couple" inside the best companies... was an iron-clad partnership between marketing leadership and HR leadership. Your brand is your culture, your culture is your brand.
Bill goes on to describe a speech he gave recently, where a bank executive who was in the audience came up afterward "with a Cheshire cat grin" and handed him a business card. Her title? Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Marketing. Again from the article:
Forget a "partnership" between HR and marketing. At Corner Bank, the two functions report to the same executive. It's a title I'd never seen before, and I asked Jana how her fellow bankers tended to react to it. "They're usually kind of shocked," she admitted, "because at most companies the head of marketing and the head of HR have very different personalities."
I must admit if I had been at Bill's talk, I would have probably gone up and shown him my business card as well, because my title here at Red Hat is Senior Vice President of People & Brand.
This is no accident. At Red Hat we believe the culture you create internally is a powerful tool for driving brand perception externally. As a company that grew up quickly, without the benefit of a huge advertising budget to grow our brand, Red Hat found creating a strong, distinctive culture not only an effective way to build brand, but an inexpensive way as well.
I've been in this position spanning HR and brand functions for almost two years, and the connection points between the traditional HR and brand roles have never been more clear for me. By working closely together, HR and brand professionals have a unique opportunity to mold the external perception of the brand by impacting internal practices.
A few examples:
- Employer value proposition: What is the company "story" you use to attract the best and brightest employees to the company?
- Hiring: How can you change the hiring process so you ensure you are recruiting and employing people who are a good fit for the brand and culture?
- Orientation: How can you ensure employees have a common vision of what the company is trying to achieve (and can tell that story to others)?
- Performance management: How can you set up a system that rewards those who live the brand, both internally and in their interactions with customers and partners?
- Internal communications: How can you consistently tell and teach the story of the company through company meetings, announcements, and events?
- Celebrations of brand and culture: How can you reinforce the brand and culture by showcasing it (we host a "We are Red Hat week" every year)?
- Brand ambassadors: How can you identify and support the most enthusiastic proponents of the brand and culture within the employee ranks?
Do I think HR and brand need to be combined into one function in order to work well together? Of course not.
But my experience running People & Brand at Red Hat has shown me there are endless opportunities to better connect HR and brand efforts within organizations. If making an organizational change is out of the question, I'd definitely recommend getting the HR and brand groups together to look for additional opportunities to collaborate.
My belief is that a company living a common brand story internally is going to be more more effective at showing a passionate, differentiated, and consistent face to the outside world.
Bill sums it up well at the end of his post:
You can't be special, distinctive, and compelling in the marketplace unless you create something special, distinctive, and compelling in the workplace.
Have you seen the strong connections between brand and culture that we see here at Red Hat? If so please share your experiences below.

In the spirit of full transparency, I work as Red Hat's brand manager and am part of DeLisa's People & Brand team.
I must admit, I was a bit skeptical when the new organization was announced two years ago. My career in brand management has always been as part of larger marketing organizations, and I wondered if a move to a department called "People & Brand" would represent a departure for me away from a more traditional marketing career path.
However, it didn't take long for me to be convinced that we are really on to something here at Red Hat. Although I think it is highly imperative for a brand team to remain highly engaged and connected with the rest of the marketing organization, I also see that we have been able to connect our brand with our culture and our associates in ways that I never saw at other companies where I've worked. And I've worked at some big-brand companies.
I hope that other organizations that are open to new & innovative ways to approach branding and their organizational structures will think about pulling their brand and HR teams closer together. I can't speak for DeLisa (though I am sure she would be, too), but I'd be happy to speak to anyone interested in learning more about the People & Brand organization here at Red Hat.
Hi DeLisa, I found the post very interesting and would like to add a point to be discussed.
In your examples about how HR could impact on the brand recognition one of the bullets was:
Brand ambassadors: How can you identify and support the most enthusiastic proponents of the brand and culture within the employee ranks?
Well I think that when a brand, like Red Hat, is perceived to be so strongly linked to a community (open source), then it actually benefits from the culture/brand of the entire community.
I'd like to hear more about this from you, but this seems to me to be one of the reasons why many other companies like Google, Facebook or Twitter, not strictly related to the open source community, they still care to give outside an image of their brand linked to the open source ecosystem.

Brenda Marshall (September 29 1915 – July 30 1992) was an American cinema actress.
Born Ardis Ankerson Gaines in Negros, Philippines, Marshall made her first film appearance in the 1939 Espionage Agent.
The following year she played the leading lady to Errol Flynn in The Sea Hawk but after a few well received parts, she married the actor William Holden in 1941 and her own career quickly declined.
The Constant Nymph (1943) was a popular success but she virtually retired after this, appearing in only four more inconsequential films. Among these she played scientist Nora Goodrich in the grade-B 1946 cult classic Strange Impersonation.
After many separations, Marshall and Holden were divorced in 1971. Marshall died from throat cancer in Palm Springs, California, aged 76.

The Sea Hawk is an American film adventure film released by Warner Bros. in 1940. It was directed by Michael Curtiz and stars Errol Flynn.The movie is about a fictional English privateer in the Elizabethan era, loosely based on the historical figure Sir Francis Drake. While the film bears the same name as the novel The Sea Hawk by Rafael Sabatini, its plot has nothing to do with the novel, and is instead based on a story by Seton I. Miller.
The film features Brenda Marshall, Claude Rains, Flora Robson, Donald Crisp and Alan Hale.
The film begins with King Philip II of Spain (Montagu Love) declaring his intention to destroy England and after this "puny rockbound island as barren and treacherous as her Queen" is out of the way, he believes that world conquest will follow: "it (a map) will cease to be a map of the world; it will be Spain." He sends one of his courtiers, Don Alvarez (Claude Rains), as his ambassador to allay the suspicions of Queen Elizabeth I (Flora Robson) about the...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033028

After an approximately 90-minute executive session, Belington City Council voted to hire current Police Sgt. D.J. Harris as chief of the town's police department Wednesday.
Harris was appointed for a 90-day probation period. City Council had offered to hire Harris as chief during the June 19 meeting, but delayed the decision after Harris asked to sit down with members of Council's Personnel Committee.
Council also voted to hire a third officer for the department, also on a 90-day probation period. Council members voted during the June 19 meeting to advertise for police officers for one week and then to start interviewing the applicants.
Also Wednesday, Harris asked for permission to accept sealed bids for one of the police department's old vehicles.
"The Crown Victoria is useless to us," Harris said. "There are two vehicles left. I want to get police cars so they last longer than what we have. We have civilian cars.
"Through this company I have been looking at, we can get refurbished vehicles with the extra we have in our budget. I can get two vehicles for under $20,000, and they are pretty much ready to go."
"Once again, there is a little problem with the money you are talking about," Mayor Bobby King said. "We have a COPS grant thing and we might have to pay that money back. We can't go out and spend a lot of money until we get that settled. If we have to pay that back in full, it is more than $50,000.
"We are still talking with Charleston on the COPS grant," King said.
"I actually talked to the grant people the other day and it's been turned over to a committee," Belington City Clerk Susan Bradley said. "I asked them how long we are looking for before we receive an answer about the status and they said two to four weeks. So hopefully within that time, we will know something."
Councilwoman Suzanna Skidmore asked what happened with the COPS grant.
"I know we were supposed to have three police officers," Skidmore said.
Bradley said she did not know.
"Whoever wrote the grant, wrote it for a fourth officer," Bradley said. "And now we only have three officers, actually only two."
King said that they need to have an item on the agenda for next the council meeting addressing the grants situation.
"Every grant that is written needs to come through Council for a vote," King said. "Council needs to know how these grants work so we don't get behind on them and have to repay them."
Council members voted to advertise the Crown Victoria for sale, with a reserve bid of $2,000.

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in H-town.
After a cold start in the 30s, temperatures will warm quickly today to seasonal levels in the upper 60s.
Under the influence of more southerly winds and sunny skies, temperatures today should climb into the mid- to upper-60s, making for a really nice winter day.
However yet another cold front will push into Houston tonight, say National Weather Service forecasters.
This cooler air will keep temperatures on Friday and Saturday in the low to mid-60s, and keep overnight temperatures in the upper 30s to 40s.
With no other fronts expected until late Monday or Tuesday, we should see highs climb into the low 70s on Sunday and Monday, with corresponding lows in the 50s. Skies should remain partly to mostly sunny for the start of next week.
Beyond next Tuesday's cold front, the models are split as to whether we'll see more cold fronts right away, or whether temperatures will be allowed to warm up heading into next weekend.
In any case, enjoy the coming weekend. It's going to bring a fair amount of sunshine and seasonal temperatures, which means it will be a great time be outdoors.
Some long range models
hint at late January
Arctic blast. We'll see.
Today, in 1888, was a rather cold day in Galveston. The high only reached 32 degrees.

SALEM - A surprise search by drug-sniffing dogs yielded a clean sweep at Salem Senior and Junior High School Thursday morning, with the exception of a very small amount of marijuana found in a student's vehicle.
"We didn't find anything in the school," Salem Police Patrolman Brad Davis said.
He referred to the marijuana found in the vehicle in the parking lot as shake, the loose leaves left over sometimes. No charges were filed, but he talked to the student about drug use and the student's parents were also notified.
While inside the school, the two dogs hit on a handful of lockers for the odor of marijuana, resulting in searches of four or five lockers, but with nothing found.
"The kids need to know that we're aware and we're out there looking," Superintendent Tom Bratten said.
This was the third year in a row for a surprise inspection and all three years the school passed. Searches have been done in the past, also. Bratten was the only school official who knew when the search would be done, none of the principals, teachers or students knew that Thursday was the day.
Bratten said he showed up about fifteen minutes before the appointed time and informed the principals the school was being placed on lockdown, then the law enforcement personnel showed up and led the dogs by all the lockers on both floors. The students were sent back to class when the search continued in the parking lot of both student and teacher vehicles.
"I was very pleased with the results. Everything went very smooth," he said.
Three Salem Police officers were accompanied by two agents from the Columbiana County Drug Task Force, a canine unit and handler from East Palestine Police and a canine unit and handler from the Drug Enforcement Administration in Youngstown. Davis said the dogs are trained to sniff out street drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine, but they cannot smell for prescription drugs.
"We know that there are some youth who do abuse drugs. We want to keep the drugs out of our schools and keep the focus on education. We want a nice safe environment for all the students," he said.
The search is offered to the school administration every year and they accept the offer every year.
"I think it was successful. The students and the staff, the administration, they all cooperated and there were no problems," Davis said.
Bratten said it's important to the district that if there is anything found, they take care of it right away.
"That's something that's not tolerated in our buildings," he said.
Last week, a 17-year-old Salem High School school student was suspended from school by administrators and charged with delinquency by police after someone could smell the odor of marijuana on him and he voluntarily produced a small baggie of suspected marijuana. An expulsion hearing is pending.
Bratten noted that any drug offense at the school results in an automatic 10-day out-of-school suspension with a recommendation for expulsion. A hearing is then set to review the expulsion recommendation.
"We do what we can as legally as possible to try to control it," he said.
During the last school year, the board approved a new drug-testing policy for students in extracurricular activities. Bratten said the policy does not include random drug testing, but gives school officials the option to require a drug test if they have a reasonable suspicion of drug use by an athlete or student in extracurriculars.
"So far, so good," he said, saying they haven't had any cases since the new policy was enacted.

Why the 2nd Amendment

"Rep. John Lewis, in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings, said: "The British are not coming. ... We don't need all these guns to kill people."
Then by all means, Mr. Lewis, introduce a motion to repeal the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Obviously, according to you, this "quaint" notion no longer applies to us Americans. No need to "cling" to our firearms. Who cares about some dusty old document created by dusty old men some two hundred plus years ago?
Well, I still care.

An East Freedom man lit the fire that swept through an East End duplex on Thursday, claiming the life of a 3-year-old boy, Altoona police said.
Aaron Wilson Dishong, 62, of 112 Wilt Lane, Apt. 102, allegedly set the blaze just after 6 a.m. because he mistakenly believed that an ex-paramour was staying at 113 S. Second St. and he wanted her dead, Blair County Chief Deputy District Attorney Wade Kagarise said Thursday night about 10 p.m.
Kagarise spoke as officers took Dishong to Magisterial District Judge Todd F. Kelly's office for arraignment on homicide, attempted homicide, arson and related charges.

A fire Thursday morning at 113 S. Second St. in Altoona was set because a man wanted to kill his ex-paramour, police said.
Mirror photo by Amanda Gabeletto
Homicide suspect Aaron Dishong is escorted late Thursday evening from Magisterial District Judge Todd F. Kelly's office by Altoona police Cpl. Ashley Day (left), Sgt. Matthew Starr and Sgt. Mary Hogan. Dishong was taken to Blair County Prison, where he is being held without bail.
Brandy Etchison and her two small children, Daryl Etchison Jr., 3, and Madison Etchison, 2, were asleep, on the third floor, when Dishong allegedly started the fire in the living room, according to Dishong's arrest papers.
Brandy Etchison jumped from a third-floor window to escape with Madison but was unable to get Daryl out of the burning building, Kagarise said.
"She is essentially a hero in our opinion," Kagarise said.
Article Map
Responding Altoona firefighters pulled Daryl from the home and he died at Altoona Regional, police said.
Husband Darrel Etchison was at work when the fire broke out, Kagarise said.
A UPMC spokeswoman said Brandy Etchison remained in critical condition late Thursday, and Kagarise said it was his understanding that Madison was to be released from the hospital.
District Attorney Richard Consiglio called the arson "horrific" and commended Altoona police, state police and the Altoona Fire Department for working together to quickly sort out the details of the crime, one that was initially thought to be a terrible accident.
Altoona police Detective Sgt. Benjamin Jones declined to say how Dishong set the fire. The investigation was a total team effort and evolved rapidly after two witnesses arrived at the state police barracks in Hollidaysburg to say they had information about the fire, Jones said.
The two witnesses came forward to say Dishong had gone to South Second Street to stalk his ex-paramour over the past couple of days and had said he was going to kill her, Kagarise said.
Police listened in on phone conversations between Dishong and a witness - phone calls during which Dishong incriminated himself, Kagarise said.
That witness, according to court records, told police that Dishong admitted Thursday that he started the fire and when he saw a news report that one person was killed, Dishong celebrated because he thought it was his ex-girlfriend, police said.
When the witness brought up that it might have been a child killed, Dishong allegedly said, "No, I got her," police noted in the affidavit of probable cause.
Police noted Dishong's story to investigators contained "numerous inconsistencies," and when asked after his arraignment by a reporter if he was responsible for what police alleged, Dishong said, "No."
Dishong's ex-paramour had a protection-from-abuse order against him, Kagarise said. According to court records, Dishong referenced a hearing on the matter, scheduled for Thursday, when he spoke to the two witnesses who came forward.
Police indicated Dishong said that he should return to 113 S. Second St. before the hearing and "take her out" before heading to the woods to commit suicide.
Living in the 111 half of the duplex were two Penn State Altoona students who were alerted to the fire by screams of a distraught Brandy Etchison, desperate to save her son.
"I heard banging on the window and didn't know what was going on," said Macy Yingling, 19.
Yingling said it was the screaming that woke her and for a moment, she thought it was a domestic dispute that spilled into the street.
Then she heard breaking glass.
Yingling's roommate, fellow student Lauren Johnson, 19, said she had just showered and was blow-drying her hair when she thought she smelled something burning.
"Then I heard the screaming," Johnson said.
The two women started down the stairs together and by the time they reached the first floor, they noticed the smoke and could see the flames outside. Escaping out the back door, they encountered Brandy Etchison, hysterical and screaming that her son was still inside.
Altoona Deputy Fire Chief Mike Tofano said firefighters were called to the scene at 6:27 a.m. for what dispatchers said was a porch fire. As firefighters approached the duplex, it was apparent it was much more than that, Tofano said.
Yingling's parents, Chris and Diane Yingling of Bedford, who owned the duplex, said the family had moved to the duplex in October. Chris Yingling said the building is insured but he didn't know what would come next as he waited to talk to investigators.
John Lowery, who lives nearby on First Avenue, said he was awake when he heard the call come across the scanner. Realizing it was close to his house, he walked up the street.
"This whole front was - side to side - all you could see was flames," Lowery said.
He said he watched as AMED personnel rushed the family into ambulances and away to the the hospital.
"It was horrible looking," Lowery said. "It was bad."
A preliminary hearing for Dishong is slated for Wednesday.
