Guest rooms at our historic Fan District Bed and Breakfast have been upgraded with new HVAC units that are more energy efficient. Each room retains its individual thermostat allowing our guests the utmost in individual comfort. Though our systems were relatively new, they had developed leaks that were impossible to locate and replacement was the only answer. Our thanks go out to Chuck and his helpers who endured the heat of our attic to make the swap in Richmond's heat spell.
Don't let the predictions of summer heat keep you from planning a trip to Richmond. Museums, restaurants, and attractions are all air-conditioned and there's always the James River for rafting, tubing, or canoeing. Best of all, here at our Richmond Virginia inn, you can control the temperature in your room with the press of a button on the thermostat. And, since the units are energy-efficient, you're doing your part to help us reduce our carbon footprint.
PS. Don't forget – the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Tiffany: Color and Light exhibit closes August 15th – that's only five more weeks to see this special exhibition of the works of Tiffany, the Master of Glass.

Published August 21, 2014
Ready or not, this long-anticipated and much-needed summer season is drawing to a close and the new academic year is upon us. UB welcomes new and returning students, beginning today, with a wide range of activities designed to be fun as well as informative.
Opening Weekend offers the newest members of the university community the opportunity to learn about UB resources and campus services, as well as attend social events and meet fellow students.
Faculty, staff and student volunteers are helping incoming freshmen move into their residence halls today and tomorrow. Once students are moved in, they can take part in activities such as ice cream socials, campus walking tours, open houses and job fairs.
The marquee events begin Friday afternoon with the traditional interlocking UB photo. More than 2,300 people will gather on the Student Union Field at 3:30 p.m. to form the university's logo.
The New Student Picnic, another signature event of Opening Weekend, will take place from 5-7 p.m. at Baird Point, North Campus (rain site is the UB Stadium Concourse). New students and their families can enjoy a free, first-come, first-served chicken barbecue while meeting UB faculty, staff and other new students.
The Electric Company, Buffalo's premier improvisational comedy group, will perform at 6:30 p.m. (rain site is the Student Union Theatre).
Later in the evening, social gatherings will take place in the second-floor lounges of Richmond, Spaulding and Wilkeson quads in the Ellicott Complex; behind Governors Complex; and outside Goodyear Hall on the South Campus.
Opening Weekend activities will continue on Saturday with Pride and Service Day, in which students spend the morning taking part in community service projects. Also on the agenda are walking tours of the North and South campuses; a bus tour of such off-campus destinations as Niagara Falls, the Elmwood Arts Festival and Canalside; and the Welcome Back Bash.
Sunday's events include the Welcome Back Carnival on the Greiner Hall lawn and Movie Night, with films screened on the Student Union Field and in the Student Union Theater.
Opening Weekend kicks off "Fall into UB," a month-long, campus-wide series of special events designed to celebrate the start of the academic year.

Bomb squad called to check on device near UCF
Suspicious device deemed safe
UPDATED 9:29 AM EST Feb 14, 2013
A suspicious device near the University of Central Florida prompted an investigation and road closures early Thursday.
A bomb squad was called to an area south of the university's campus. Officials quickly determined the device was not harmful.
The device was spotted by a passerby, who alerted UCF police officers.
Some area buildings were evacuated and officials rerouted traffic away from Research Parkway in the area. The roadway was soon reopened.

LEETONIA- The old movie theater on Chestnut Street has been razed. Asbestos abatement took place on Thursday and demolition on Friday.
According to Zoning Inspector John Rydarowicz, the building had been vacant for several decades and had become a hazard, with no roof and the walls caving in. Building owner Greg Chepke paid for the demolition.
The village had attempted to have the building torn down for at least the past five years, Rydarowicz said, but Chepke had been delaying because he had a reported buyer. Chepke had been cited into Mayor's Court on zoning violations on three occasions, Rydarowicz added.

Rydaowicz last fall had Seidler Engineering of Girard complete an assessment of the building which revealed that it was in such poor condition that high winds or seismic activity could have caused it to collapse, he said, posing a danger to anyone on the surrounding streets.
"It was getting to the point where the village would have had to take it down (at its own expense)," Rydarowicz said.
According to members of the Leetonia/Salem Township Historical Society, the theater was opened in 1917 by Pat Kelly. It was formerly called at various times the American, the Gem and the Mantis.

Here's some suggestions:
1. Seek out babywearers near you- check online at places like TheBabywearer.com and Mothering.com- they have forums for finding local babywearers. You might have to register to view the forums, but it's worth it! Most babywearers own more than one (sometimes several!) slings. Meet up somewhere and try 'em on!
2. Find your local La Leche League and/or Natural Parenting group in your area- most often they will at least sell ring slings and are more likely to have babywearing Mamas with slings you can ask to try out.
3. Call around to local baby and maternity boutiques to see if they sell baby carriers you can try on. You might be surprised where slings are sold (ahem, I think even Target is selling some good ones now!)- and if you don't find any close to you, maybe you can suggest they start selling them!
4. Check out helpful resources like the Tummy 2 Tummy DVD, a babywearing instructional video, or the awesome Sling Comparison Chart at Mom4Life.
5. Know the return policies for the online sites you are interested in purchasing from. Many sites are flexible with returns if it's not what you had expected.

Police in Baltimore have charged a 20-year-old father in the death of his infant son.
Police confirmed Wednesday that they arrested Dion Ware and have charged him with second-degree murder and other charges.
Police said they responded to the 300 block of East 22nd Street on Monday for reports of an infant that was not breathing. The child, who was born in October, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police said Ware initially told authorities that his son was asleep and making strange noises. He said he called 911 when he realized the boy was not breathing. The Medical Examiner found the child died from blunt force trauma.

, updated April 8, 2013 at 7:13 AM
Buffalo's federal court system, already burdened by a backlog of cases, is facing a new hurdle – across-the-board budget cuts that will hit at the core of its criminal justice mission.
The cuts, part of the deficit-reduction process known as sequestration, are deep enough that Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Skretny ordered an end, temporarily, to the hearing of criminal cases on Fridays.
Like a lot of judges across the country, Skretny's adoption of an all-civil court calender one day a week is seen as the most palatable way of dealing with spending cuts to a wide range of judicial agencies.
The change takes effect this week.
"In my view, it's not a good thing, but we're forced to do it," Skretny said of his order. "Clearly, this is not an ideal situation, but it's what we need to do under the current financial situation."
The impetus for Skretny's decision is the automatic spending cuts that took effect earlier this year and are now hitting every arm of the federal judiciary, from the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI to the U.S. Marshals and the federal Court Clerk's office.
Even more dramatic are the cuts to the Federal Public Defender's Office, an arm of the court system viewed as overburdened with cases.
"It's absolutely devastating," said federal Public Defender Marianne Mariano. "Our program is crippled."
Mariano's office, which is the last line of legal defense for poor people accused of federal crimes, is feeling the impact of sequestration cuts more than most.
Each member of Mariano's staff – lawyers, paralegals and investigators – will be furloughed 22 days over the next six months, the equivalent of a day a week without pay.
Even more significant, perhaps, is the impact on their clients and the very real concern that their cases will be delayed and their constitutional rights sacrificed.
"There's no question in my mind cases will be delayed," Mariano said of the cuts. "And any delay in a case is an injustice."
And the absence of criminal cases on Fridays is just one of the consequences.
Without more funding, court officials expect to run out of money for jurors in civil cases come September. They also expect it will now take longer to pay court-appointed lawyers and restitution to victims.
And that's just this year. A lot of people think 2014 could be worse.
"The picture is as bleak, if not bleaker, for next year," said U.S. District Court Clerk Michael J. Roemer.
Roemer has seen his budget drop by 23 percent in four years. It's possible, maybe even likely, that another cut will come next year as part of sequestration, the fiscal austerity strategy adopted by Congress in 2011.
To hear court officials here and across the country talk, the impact of sequestration will be severe enough to jeopardize the judicial system's ability to carry out its mission, much of which is mandated by the Constitution.
The cuts, they warn, will result in reduced courthouse security, fewer probation officers to supervise convicted felons and, yes, even the periodic closing of some federal courts.
Skretny is more optimistic.
"We will do whatever it takes to carry out our mission," he said. "We're optimistic things will get better, not worse."
For Mariano, who is faced with the equivalent of a 20 percent cut in her staff over the next six months, there is one bright spot.
In the days since the cuts became final, more than one member of her staff has approached her and offered to be furloughed for more than 22 days if it helps keep someone else in the office – a single parent, for example – from losing that extra day of pay.
"The incredibly selfless offers," Mariano said, "have astounded me."

Long before Amanda Bynes allegedly tossed a bong out her apartment window and donned an aqua wig to court, her parents Rick and Lynn Bynes had become increasingly concerned about her behavior.
"Prior to moving to New York, Amanda was extremely paranoid about being 'watched,' including at our residence," her parents wrote in court papers released Friday.
"She would cover smoke alarms with towels, tape windows shut, and cover her car's dashboard with cardboard and tape out of fear that cameras were watching her from inside these places."
The former child actress, 27, is now under a 14-day psychiatric hold at a hospital just outside L.A. while a court considers whether to place her under a conservatorship similar to one used for Britney Spears.
A source close to the family tells PEOPLE that Bynes "has consistently been visited by her mom daily while hospitalized." Though Bynes has yet to be officially diagnosed with any mental illness, she "has consented to seeing her mother, but unfortunately not her dad," with whom she's estranged, the source adds.
In the documents filed Friday with the Ventura County, Calif., Superior Court, the Bynes family outlined their daughter's disturbing behavior beyond her multiple driving offenses.
"[Amanda] is obsessed with the idea that she and others are 'ugly.' She talks incessantly about cosmetic surgeries that she wants to have completed. She also encourages her mother to have plastic surgery. We are concerned that the surgeries she wants to have are dangerous and detrimental to her health."
"[Amanda] has verbally assaulted several people, including family members, through her Twitter account," the documents add. "She called her 9-year-old niece ugly on Twitter, which was devastating to her niece and her brother, her niece's father. She has called us 'ugly' on several occasions."
Saying they believe their daughter is now essentially "homeless" and has a substance abuse problem, Rick, 68, a former dentist, and Lynn Bynes, 66, a former office manager, "are deeply concerned that Amanda poses a substantial risk to herself, to others and property based on recent events."
But it wasn't until a bizarre driveway-burning incident last Monday that Bynes's parents realized they needed to take legal action to save their daughter's life.
"Nobody in the family understood the severity of Amanda's condition until the fire incident," a source close to the family tells PEOPLE. "Up until then, her family hoped a conservatorship wasn't necessary."
The papers, which reveal that Lynn Bynes alone is seeking legal control over her daughter as well as of her finances, allege that Amanda has spent an alarming $1.2 million in a very short time from her estimated $4 million in savings.
"Based upon a review of banking information we can access, she has written approximately $63,000 in checks [within just a two-month period,] some made out to 'cash.'"
Her parents also say they've received doctor's bills for unknown services. Amanda also made two withdrawals of $100,000 this past June, "despite having no fixed living expenses."
"We believe that a substantial amount of this money is being used to pay for marijuana and other illegal substances, and possibly for plastic surgery," her parents wrote.
The parents add they have no idea how their daughter returned to L.A. from New York. When they asked her, she replied that she "cabbed it."
Although Bynes is reportedly fighting to be released from the psychiatric hold – with a hospital hearing set for Friday afternoon – her parents "are relieved for now that Amanda's in a hospital to get the help she needs."
The source adds: "They hope in the coming weeks, Amanda's situation will get under control. They love their daughter very much."

Real Men. Real Depression.
NIMH Launches First Public Health Education Campaign to Reach Men with Depression.
April 1, 2003 -- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), one of the National Institutes of Health, today announced the launch of the first national campaign to raise awareness that depression is a major public health problem affecting an estimated 6 million men annually. Research suggests that men are less likely to seek treatment for this serious illness; data also show that men die by suicide at four times the rate of women.
The public health education campaign from the NIMH – "Real Men. Real Depression." – features the personal stories of men who live with depression: a firefighter, a national diving champion, a retired Air Force sergeant, a lawyer, a publisher, and a college student.
Individuals and organizations are encouraged to call the campaign toll-free number (1-866-227-6464) and to access the NIMH Web site to learn more.
NIMH is one of the 27 components that make up NIH, the Federal Government's primary agency for biomedical and behavioral research. NIH is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Apple loves to brag about numbers, so it should come as no
surprise that the boys from Cupertino are overjoyed by the news that the newly
launched Mac App Store crossed the one million
downloads mark in just 24 hours.
"We're amazed at the incredible response the Mac App
Store is getting," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Developers have
done a great job bringing apps to the store and users are loving how easy and
fun the Mac App Store is."
The Mac App Store provides users a simplified way of
searching for, purchasing, and installing OS X applications. Anyone that is
familiar with the App Store for the iPhone/iPod touch/iPad would feel right at
home using the complimentary service for his or her MacBook, MacBook Pro, or
MacBook Air.
Interestingly enough, even though Apple's Mac App Store
seems to be off to a good start, it still has it problems. Many users were
getting an "error
100" message when trying to access the store early yesterday. The only way to clear
the message for many users was to Log Out of their current session of OS X and
log back in.
Even more troubling is that fact that some paid apps can
be easily pirated by downloading the .dmg files from the internet and using
a "purchase" receipt from a free app.
quote: A better coincidence is you commenting on another Apple article and already being rated at -1 before anyone else has commented.Congrats :).
quote: They are insanely popular because they offer a feature set not found in other products (and to clarify for you goofy techies that does not mean a spec list).
quote: Replying To: RE: What a coincidence!by Solandri on January 7, 2011 at 3:15 PMquote:They are insanely popular because they offer a feature set not found in other products (and to clarify for you goofy techies that does not mean a spec list).The one thing the Apple products have is a great user interface. This is what allowed the technically inferior iPod to conquer the MP3 player market.In nearly all other areas (features, price), Apple products are inferior. But most companies vastly underestimate the importance of a good user interface. I'm an engineer and Linux wizard. I love geeky gadgets with tons of options. I imagine most of the engineers at other companies designing these products are like me. It took me a while to realize that most people are not like us. They don't care how many features a product has, or that it's operating in a more efficient manner under the hood. They just care that it does what they want it to do, and that it's really easy to make it do what they want it to do.This is what Apple does really, really well, and why they're successful. But a lot of Apple fans make the opposite mistake, and assume that since Apple is successful in certain markets, that means their products have an overall superior feature set. They do not. It's just that the importance of the one feature Apple gets right (the UI) is much, much greater than everything else on the tech spec list.
quote: For a simple product like an MP3 player, a good, simple UI is very important, which is why the iPod owns 3/4ths of the market. For a more complex product like a phone, it's less important, which is why the iPhone is only about 1/6th of global and 1/4th U.S. smartphone sales. And for very complex products like computers, it's even less important, which is why Macs are only about 1/15th of computer sales.
quote: This is what's going to kill the iPad IMHO. Right now it's positioned in the market as basically a glorified web browser. Simple and limited in functionality, which plays to Apple's greatest strength. But I don't see tablets being limited to web browsers. In the next 5-10 years, I see them becoming a huge part of business as they replace the old pen and paper clipboard. But businesses don't want an uncustomizable tablet with no direct media slots and which can't print. They want something more functional, more complex. So unless Apple changes the product, I see the iPad's eventual market share settling somewhere in between the 1/4th and 1/15th of the iPhone and Mac.
quote: There is a deep commitment to design, especially in the small things: a trivial but telling example - when a Macbook goes to sleep the little light on the side starts to pulse. it pulses at the rate that a heart pulses when at rest and relaxed. This design feature was deliberate and is probably never in itself noticed by users. But lots, and lots of small features like this (which are invisible on a spec list, not really part of any UI and which are considered as trivial floss by techies) adds up to a different sort of experience and it's that different experience that consumers flock to.Another example - the Apple value stack. Apple has carefully assembled a value stack for its products that includes bundled software that isn't craplets, no third party craplets, a superb retail experience, a highly rated customer service system, a single integrated ecommerce and payment system across all it's devices that is very easy to use, the world's biggest digital music collection, software and hardware integration that makes syncing stuff across computers and devices a breeze, a big media collection, a safe (no malware, no system crashers) way to buy cheap apps from a huge library of apps, etc etc.
quote: A comforting fairy tale that explains nothing about the real world. Think it through. Do you really think that the user interface of a complex object is less important than that of a less complex one? That seems an unsupportable hypothesis to me. If anything I would have thought is was the other way around.
quote: If you think that the iPad and it's thousands of Apps is selling a glorified web browser than you have truly lost the plot. Just use Google for god's sake and survey the sort of stuff the iPad is really being used for. The ex-Blur front man Damon Albarn has just released an album he recorded and created solely using his iPad in hotel rooms on tour!
quote: The momentum of the iPad in the coming year will shock and amaze you. No tablet will come close to catching it in 2011 or in 2012. It may never be caught - just like the iPod was never caught.
quote: Have no concept of using the best tool for the job? I don't understand how you can in one paragraph advocate the simplicity of Apple's UIs, and in another cite as a plus using a terribly limiting and restrictive device for recording, mixing, and editing. People use the iPod because it plays music effectively, easily, and reliably. People use the iPad for browsing the web because it does it effectively, easily, and reliably. Yeah you can use it to record music, and I can use a pogo stick to get to work. But they can't do these things effectively, nor easily, nor reliably. Its limitations make it a poor tool for that job, so you're not going to see iPads replacing recording/mixing equipment. It's as simple as that.
quote: All I am doing is pointing out that if you think all most people mostly use the iPad for is web browsing you are far from reality.
quote: Actually the iPad is also used as a paperweight until is brought out for guests to go "oooh" and "ahhh" as the owner has long been bored with its gimmicky lack of function. Oh, but it's got the form!
quote: When the facts change I change my ideas. What do you do?John Maynard Keynes
quote: Yes the user interface of a complex object needs to be good too. But a UI is all about the user learning what to do to make the device do something. If a device has 4 functions and the UI adds an extra step, you've gone from 4 things to learn to 5 things to learn. A 20% increase, which is significant. But if a device has 400 functions and the UI adds an extra step, you've gone from 400 to 401 things to learn, which is only a 0.25% increase.
quote: Ironic, considering Apple have barely adopted Nehalem processors and we're already on Sandy Bridge.
quote: As for your claim of one million iPads a week, Apple simply don't have the supply chain necessary to produce one million iPads a week. Additionally, Apple aren't renowned for dropping prices to sensible levels so that's another little fault with this scenario. They sold three million in the 80 days post launch and you're expecting the same number to go in 21?

This may not solve anything regarding the recent conflict between a school district and a teacher over religious material posted in a classroom, but as a former teacher and current school district technology director, I do sympathize with the superintendent and the science teacher's positions. Schools cannot use public funds to promote a state religion, as we know from the Bill of Rights, but the teacher seems to be attempting to expand her students' knowledge of ethics and responsibility, in addition to sharing "how to pass the state test."
In another district long ago, while I was resolving a tech issue in the Library Media Center, a hard-working little student came up to me. He was completing a Historical Scavenger Hunt, and was quite stuck on the remaining piece of his Ancient World puzzle. He asked me if I had ever heard of the Great Flood.
I replied, "Sure, Sparky. [I'm not very good at names.] That flood is recorded in multiple historical documents, including the Sumerian tale of Gilgamesh." Since the library was fresh out of Sumerian stuff, I suggested he look in the Bible. "Take a shot at the Book of Genesis," I recklessly advised.
He casually stated, "I asked, they don't have one here."
"This library doesn't have a Bible?" I replied in disbelief, violating at least three of Timmy's civil rights.
It was then, in a New York State school district, that I realized how many federal, state and civil laws I had just flouted. I assumed, since I was in a room full of books, surrounded by life-sized Harry Potter merchandise, that this haven of 21st century Western learning would have a Bible (Judeo/Christian), a Quran (Islam, carefully maintained), a Diamond Sutra (Buddhism, the world's oldest printed book) and the Upanishads (Hindi sacred texts).
I realized that the poor kid was trying to understand world history, with the five major world religions eliminated, carefully hosed down in an up-and-coming lawyer's driveway.
Here's the first sentence of the First Amendment from our Bill of Rights: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
It sounds like the first sentence of our nation's freedom blueprint protects the Cheektowaga superintendent and the teacher who placed Christian inspirational quotes in her classroom.
This deal won't be solved by the right and left slingshot organizations involved, because they already mortared up their walls and are ready to start slinging. What is reasonable, for the sake of a more complete education, and for a foundation for basic tolerance (which is allowed, according to the Taylor Swift poster in the cafeteria)?
Districts should allow educationally relevant religious expression, if Judaic, Christian, Islamic, Hindi and Buddhist values are up on that wall, as well. If the teacher is not pushing personal beliefs on students, this should be fine. If the district wants a comprehensive educational experience for students, this should be fine. And don't give me the "… thousands of religions out there, we'll run out of wall space" angle. I'm talking about the five major league religions, with utility bills and a long history of charity and/or violence.
And if you want to go the other way – take on a real cultural force to prove my point – remove all religious statements in the schools, take down all those Harry Potter and Twilight posters from the state-funded school libraries, since Witchcraft and Vampirism are religions (though certainly not non-profit religions). And yes, Greek Mythology is a religion (talk to an ancient Greek) and mythology existed in my school libraries, though I felt no pressure, as a child, to sacrifice my pudding cup to Poseidon before swim class.
As far as that poor kid who wasn't allowed to look up the Great Flood in a U.S. school system, I wonder how many other tapioca history lessons he had to memorize? If a teacher cannot mention religion in a classroom, one cannot possibly lead an objective lesson on the Holocaust, the Italian Renaissance, the Puritans, Gandhi, the Moors, China, India, women's rights in Afghanistan or Palestinian-Israeli relations.
Religion is a driving force in history. Humane and inhumane religious events have directly determined the national borders of Pakistan, Turkey, Spain, Tibet; the list goes on, but don't tell little Timmy, you may end up in court.
If a U.S. school library or classroom cannot acknowledge the first printed book in the world, or the first mass-produced printed book in the world, then call them "carefully strained and ethically bleached, partial book storage areas," not libraries.
Religion is already embedded in the historical curriculum. I am not suggesting religion be taught in public schools as a belief system, which is why the Founding Fathers were so ingenious to prevent establishment of a state religion, while at the same time including wording that prevents suppression of personally held beliefs or speech.
On the erasure of religion in education, it sounds like little Timmy got cheated. Now he thinks the Great Flood is an unpublished Harry Potter book, the Renaissance masterworks were about a flying bearded man and the Holy Roman Empire began because Constantine became Kristen Stewart on the field of battle. I'm just relieved little Timmy didn't ask me why they all sing songs to a mutant reindeer and his pine tree every December. I do not need that kind of trouble.

We Won….. We Lost
Dear Editor:
The votes have been tallied and the local option sales tax referendum has been defeated.
However, any gloating on the notion that "we won" as opined by the Chairman of the Dorchester County Taxpayers Association (DCTA) clearly identifies how disconnected from reality this group is. In truth, we lost.
For starters, I am proud to wear the Realtor insignia pin on my coat lapel, as a constant reminder of the high standards of business and code of ethics that we are held to. I have been a Realtor for almost 30 years, and my father, Sherwood Miler, was one for over 35 years. I cannot count the number of retired military officers and enlisted personnel, from all the respective service branches, who have joined the ranks of Realtors over the years upon their retirement from military service. Added to this membership list is the countless number of bankers, attorneys, appraisers, insurance executives, teachers, housewives and other esteemed business personnel who are also proud members of the fraternity of Realtors. Together, we blend our skills and talents into one of the most respected, educated, generous, dedicated, and involved business arms of the community.
But, there is not now, or ever has been a "REALTOR PARTY." And to insinuate that we desire to have a "precious tax increase" is not only laughable, but almost void of thought. I am sure that I am speaking for many when I say that every penny in our family budget is not only "precious," but also hard earned and necessary in order to satisfy the financial demands of everyday life and its expenses. And to suggest the idea that support for the local option sales tax was an attempt to redistribute tax dollars away from the poor and middle class is simply ludicrous! Good Lord…I am the middle class…and I want some relief!!
According to the annual records of the multiple listing service (MLS) for Dorchester County, in 2012 there were a total of 1,867 houses sold (including single family and multi family) for an average sale price of $179,661.00. Based on one true example, a home that sold in Quail Arbor V on Glendale Court for $182,400 assessed at 4% paid an annual property tax of $1012.50. If the LOST had been in affect, this homeowner would have saved appox. $425.00 on his property taxes. Is this the rich getting richer? Is this redistributing wealth away from the poor? And based on this one example, this poor owner would have had to spend about $40,000.00 in goods, food and services in Dorchester County in one year to break even. Ain't going to happen!
I had the pleasure to serve on the Dorchester County Penny Sales Tax Authority where over $125,000,000 was raised to address the horrible and often unsafe conditions of our roads. It was a county-wide effort. And yes we had to raise the sales tax by one cent (a penny) Did Mr. Braund consider this the same precious tax increase "pipe dream" to redistribute dollars from the poor? Was it a crushing blow to the middle class? Are you kidding??!!
In closing, for Mr. Braund finishes his letter with the words "…visionary foolishness that leads to sprawl, inefficiency and fraud…" is totally reckless, shallow, and divisive. How he expects any uniting of opposing bodies on issues of importance to this county and its future after penning such a divisive letter is slim….but not impossible. For with God's help, and in His perfect timing, all things are possible!
And yes, we are having our annual Realtor Party in December at the beach and racquet club; $50 per member, spouses and quests are invited. It's a lot of fun, and one of the best ideas since Adam! Maybe Mr. Braund would like to come!!??

This is the calm before the new-season storm. A week from now, only the most advanced devices will be able to handle the crush of new (and mostly returning-hit) programming airing on Thursdays, with expanded season openers of long-running faves The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Recreation and Grey's Anatomy among the draws.
By comparison, this is a much quieter Thursday, although NBC once had high hopes that the two-hour climax of the seemingly endless and haplessly muddled Million Second Quiz (8/7c) would be something to shout, instead of yawn, about. Instead, the peacock's more anticipated headliner is Valerie's Story - A Meredith Vieira Special (10/9c), an hour-long good-news report from the former Today co-anchor chronicling Valerie Harper's unusually public battle against terminal brain cancer.

quote: If customer's don't care, why has Nokia problems to move its existing customers from Symbian to WP?
quote: Could it be that most of the ex-Symbian users do know what their phone was capable of?
quote: Could it be that the majority of ex-Symbian users don't want an OS with less features?
quote: I think lots of people recognize what an OS can do and what it cannot do.
quote: But no, you think that it is coincidence that the most open smartphone OS has also the biggest market share.
quote: Of course you don't have any proof whatsoever for your twisted argument, troll.
quote: Because that's what the stores and TV ads are pushing.
quote: Because WP essentially doesn't exist yet, and if they have any apps built on Symbian they can't move anyway without redeveloping.
quote: Doubt it. But if they were corporate devices there's a chance that they have an app or two built that can't port without re-development. Not to mention that WP has been a non-starter until now...and maybe still is a non-starter. Time will tell.
quote: Not likely. The *vast* majority of actual individual phone users haven't got the slightest clue about anything you've been ranting about. And they don't care. Their IT department might tell them that they can't have an Android phone because of some custom Symbian app they built, but the user doesn't give 2 sh1ts about it. They just want to play Angry Birds.
quote: ...have you ever stepped outside? Virtually no one who owns a smartphone has the slightest idea what it's capabilities and/or feature set is in any detail at all. Either it can do Twitter and play games, or it can't. That's about all the attention you're going to get from all but a handful of users.
quote: No, it's not a coincidence - the marketplace is flooded with them, there's a wide variety of them available at all kinds of different price points, and they're being pushed hard by all the carriers. Coincidence? Hardly. But it's not because of any technical features of the OS itself. If the market was flooded with WebOS devices, and that's what all the carriers were pushing, that's what people would buy.
quote: Sure I do. Go stand in a mall and ask people as they walk by how often they sideload apps. Or find a need for a file browser. Or...any of the other BS you're ranting about. Essentially no one knows WTF you're talking about, and probably someone would call security on you after a little while when you started foaming at the mouth.

Five area soccer players earned All-Ohio distinctions by the Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association recently.
Crestview junior forward Greg Bable, who led his team to a share of the Inter-Tri County League title, was a first-team selection in Div. III. Bable scored a school single-season record 42 goals (the previous mark was 33 set by Ken Wagenhouser in 2002) and added 17 assists. Bable has more than 50 goals in his career.
South Range senior midfielder Patrick McCarthy was named to the second team in Div. III as the Raiders shared the ITCL title with Crestview. McCarthy, who had six goals and two assists, played a critical role in organizing the attack and managing the defense.
Minerva senior midfielder Nathan Smith was a second team pick in Div. II as he helped lead the Lions to their first district title.
On the girls' side, United junior midfielder MacKenzie Gatchel earned second-team honors in Div. III after she tallied 18 goals and 13 assists this season. She led the Eagles to a 15-1-2 record and an ITCL championship.
"She's the best girls player I've seen," United coach Raymond O'Flaherty said. "She's a bit unusual in that she can go right and left very well. You don't see that much even in the men's game."
In Div. II, Minerva's senior goalkeeper Raychel Blocher was a second-team selection as the Lions posted their best record in school history at 12-3-4. Blocher had 10 shutouts and allowed one goal per game.

During an asthma attack, also called an asthma exacerbation, your airways become swollen and inflamed. The muscles around the airways contract, causing your breathing (bronchial) tubes to narrow.
During an asthma attack, you may cough, wheeze and have trouble breathing. An asthma attack may be minor, with symptoms that get better with prompt home treatment, or it may be more serious. A severe asthma attack that doesn't improve with home treatment can become a life-threatening emergency.
The key to stopping an asthma attack is recognizing and treating an asthma flare-up early. Follow the treatment plan you worked out with your doctor ahead of time. This plan should include what to do when your asthma starts getting worse, and how to deal with an asthma attack in progress.

HANOVER – Four people were taken to area hospitals following the crash of a SUV about 12:44 p.m. Saturday on Hanover Road in the town.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office said the SUV was northbound on Hanover when it went out of control on the gravel shoulder and overturned several times. One passenger was ejected and another was trapped inside. Both were flown Erie County Medical Center. Their names and conditions were not released Saturday.
The driver and another passenger in the SUV were taken by ambulance to Lake Shore Hospital with injuries that were described as not serious. Authorities did not release their names, either.
The investigation is continuing.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office was assisted by state police and the Silver Creek and Forestville fire departments.

The Swamp Fox volleyball team took the Bobcats to a third game Tuesday, but fell short of avenging an earlier loss to Bluffton.
The Bobcats, who have now claimed the Region 8-AAAA championship for two consecutive seasons, earned a 25-19, 23-25, 25-14 win over the Swamp Foxes.
"We played really hard in the first two games but hurt ourselves in the third game," Ashley Ridge coach Chi-Chi Hurley said. "We didn't run our bump sets well and that hurt us but I think tonight we showed we can play with a team as good as Bluffton."
Had Ashley Ridge pulled off the upset, it would have secured a home match in the first round of the state playoffs scheduled to begin Oct. 29.
With the loss, the Swamp Foxes finished in a tie with Fort Dorchester for second place in the region.
Tiebreaker rules should give the Patriots the No. 2 seed for the region based on overall record. If that is indeed the case, Ashley Ridge will travel to the No. 2 seed from Region 7-AAAA for the first round while Fort Dorchester will open the playoffs by hosting Irmo. Ashley Ridge fought for a 19-19 tie in the first game Tuesday, but allowed Bluffton to score six straight points to earn the win.
"Our passes weren't all there during the first game," Hurley said. "Our hitting was there but we just couldn't get it to our hitters enough."
The Swamp Foxes spotted the Bobcats four points at the start of the second game, but rallied to take a 17-16 lead. Bluffton fought and tied the game at 22-all before the Foxes secured the win.
In the third game, Ashley Ridge overcame another slow start to pull within two points of Bluffton, but then the Bobcats finished strong.
Seniors Megan Saltzman and Brenna Swartz, along with Junior Caitlyn Fecko, had a strong night defensively on the Swamp Foxes' Senior Night. Sophomores Chynna Hunt and Abigail Dunlap, along with senior Whitney Lewis, led the Swamp Fox offense.

Bass and Beef Promotion
Contact: , 308-697-3486;
Beef and baseball are a winning combination in Japan as they are in the United States. To capitalize on that double-header pairing, beef checkoff contractor the U.S. Meat Export Federation recently involved Japanese baseball legend and Oklahoma state Senator Randy Bass in an extremely popular campaign to promote U.S. beef in Japan.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Reviewers take on Jobs makes it clear that the film is not the apple of their eyes
0. phoneArena 26 Jan 2013, 15:27 posted on
So now that the movie Jobs got to be screened at the Sundance Film Festival, what did the critics think? Reviews were mixed with some praising Ashton Kutcher's performance as Steve Jobs and placing the problems of the movie on the script with some saying that it whitewashed some of the bad deeds performed by the late Steve Jobs...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Phullofphil (Posts: 801; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
I am sure its probably alright but never will there be a movie good enough for alot of yhe hardcore apple and jobs fanatic. Unless it is a mini series I doubt uou can cram enough into a movie about a mans life that had so much happen.
9. metalpoet (unregistered)
Ill watch it, im sure itll be a great comedy about a man every thinks is god. although Ashton Kutcher is a decent actor

you're right, 10 minutes should do
46. Imbatman (Posts: 10; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Ill see it once netflix gets it in a few months. I do have to say that Ashton Kutcher does look alot like jobs and is probably one of his best movies. But nothing can beat That 70's Show for him.
2. hobble (Posts: 130; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
This movie will be as good as their products.
4. KFear (Posts: 143; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
You can't say that they have bad products. They have great productions. I just don't agree with their software decisions. This goes with most of us that post to phone arena. We have issues with the restricted software.

You can. I just don't see how anyone can say that Apple has "bad" products. I work in wireless. IPhones are great phones for some people. Mac Books are great for some people. Android and Windows are best for me, but not for anyone. Companies that have bad products?...ZTE. I have never seen ZTE come out with a good product.

His comment can mean that they have good products and that he's a fan. But since you decided that he speaks ill of the products by default, deep down you know that the products are bad.
get what i mean?
5. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
That is an interesting analogy. Dated UI. Shameless copying of others ideas. Complaining when the truth isn't as flattering as Steve wanted it to be. Suing competitors who out-competed him. Hmmm. Maybe I will pass on the film. Once was enough.
15. Cerberusa2a (Posts: 33; Member since: 24 May 2012)
Why do I get the feeling that people will be charged twice as much to see this film for the same quality as other films... oh apple and ripping people off

Steve jobs one word ...respect ❤❤❤
3. KFear (Posts: 143; Member since: 06 Feb 2012)
I don't doubt Ashton as a good actor. He just has annoying rolls and he's been the idiot from that 70's show for far too long and in for too many TV comedies as well as some films. I'm glad he did a great job with this, so it seems. At some point a huge production will be made that will completely nail Job's achievements and lifetime events. Not an easy task, but for many it would be a roll that could make their career. That is, if another film is ever made. I'd see it. But i'll probably skip this one. Just have Spielberg do it.
7. nak1017 (Posts: 328; Member since: 08 Jan 2010)
If this is the performance of his career and the movie is receiving luke warm reviews at best, then its time for the Kutch to hang it up and start doing commercials in Japan.

"Role", not "roll"

But otherwise, yes, more or less.
I don't think there will ever be a grand biopic of his life. "jobs" + "Pirates of Silicon Valley" seem sufficient.

"I don't know if there's ever been an entrepreneur who's had more compassion and care for his consumer than Steve Jobs."
I can't I've ever heard ANYONE... EVER... use the word 'compassion' when describing Steve Jobs. I certain exclamation during that whole antennagate email comes to mind. You know what I'm talking about.

ya starting one of the biggest companies in the world isnt superb. what are you doing again??

They're not all that big. They have a widespread distribution network for their overpriced junk manufactured cheaply in China by borderline-slave labor (which, granted, is gradually improving)
28. Lift_Off (Posts: 152; Member since: 04 Apr 2012)
what do you mean its not all that big?! have you looked it up before? 22nd biggest company in the world.... and almost everyone in front of them is a gas and oil company. Look I'm not some crazed apple fanboy but I feel like you guys are just discounting apple and jobs because you just love to hate apple.
31. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
What are your qualifications for "big"? Financial assets? Number of workers? Worldwide availability of products? Socio-economic impacts? Excepting cash reserves, apple isn't that large worldwide in any of those. Yes, I am openly against apple and all it stands for and has stood for since its reincarnation, but not to such a degree that ignore facts and figures.
33. Lift_Off (Posts: 152; Member since: 04 Apr 2012)
Big, like, Big. Just go to google and type it in (Go ahead and start with forbes if you really are interested). Really, it doesn't matter in what ways, all I was trying to make a point of in the first place is that Jobs is a significant figure, and has created a huge and successful company, whether you and I are a fan of the man or not.

If they want to make a movie based on people who actually bring advancement in science, i will recommend Tesla, Bill Gates, or even CERN. THEY made a difference. Steve just successfully marketed a product. He must be Edison incarnate, the other troll in the scientific community.

If I were Steve Jobs, I would have donated a ton of money to the poor, partied, rode my motorcycle in the twisties, spent time with family, and given the rest of the money to my family.
Till my dying day once I found out the cancer was terminal.
18. Edmund (Posts: 656; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
and i'm sure phone arena hand picked the negative reviews. I recall similar criticism toward The Social Network, which is a very good film.
25. someones4 (Posts: 625; Member since: 16 Sep 2012)
The movie part is ok but they criticize it for being untruthful. Too much dramatization
27. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
i dont sit well with "fake" and although kutcher said its not meant to be "precise" but rather entertaining, people are STILL going to walk away from this movie thinking steve jobs was and IS god! im no hater but like i said i dont sit well knowing people are being deceived...
I say do it right or dont do it at all! and like i also said before, apple has lied to the world LONG enough.........its time to show them who and what their "god" really was all about, not give them another fantasy and fairy tale to enforce what it already far from the truth
Show the good and the bad side NOT just the good,,
32. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
They should do a double feature, "Pirates of Silicon Valley" and then this film. Perspective.
29. soshi (Posts: 154; Member since: 08 Mar 2012)
Still, movie will remain longer in people mind as a knowledge not any book as people this days too lazy to read and more into graphical input
34. tedkord (Posts: 11623; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
The guy is dead recently, so no one wants to make a movie about the real Steve Jobs, the bully and tyrant who shamelessly stole other's ideas while crucifying anyone who did anything even remotely similar to his ideas.
I'll check it out on bluray. Pirates of Silicon Valley was a good watch.
37. -SEUL8TR- (Posts: 113; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Such a really bad guy he was, he's not going to heaven!
38. Edmund (Posts: 656; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
and yet they praise fictitious garbage like "Lincoln". I wonder if the average American is aware that Abraham Lincoln didn't give a $hit about ëquality or freeing the slaves in the South ? or that he was actually a great believer of segregation between whites and negroes.
41. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
It's true... most people don't realize Lincoln only freed the slaves to weaken the Confederacy economically while at the same time bolstering his own troop strength through forced conscription. And, he was indeed a segregationist.
However, truthful as your statement may be it is basically the juvenile exclamation, "... but they're doing it too!"
The fact that someone else did something in no way whatsoever validates one's own actions when they know them to be either dishonest, immoral, and/or behind ulterior motives, etc.

"I don't know if there's ever been an entrepreneur who's had more compassion and care for his consumer than Steve Jobs. He wanted to put something in your hand that you could use and you could use it easily… and he really cared about that."-Ashton Kutcher
"You're holding it wrong." -Steve Jobs.

Not a Jobs or Apple fan. Yet, you cannot deny both of their significance in the PC and mobile world. The length of time that it would take to tell this story in its entirety would require a mini series. I would like to see PBS and Ken Barnes tell this. Not just about Jobs and Apple, but the industry as a whole. It is one compelling story. The end of US manafacturing age to the software and computing age. Good stuff.
43. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
I will see the film out of curiosity, but I suspect it is chocked full of b.s. and many inaccuracies.
45. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
but, not in theaters..will watch it on my computer - bootleg copy...lol, or at the 3-dollar theater later on...

The basis for Ray Stackley's argument that Berkeley is better than people think traces back to Friday's Sertoma Classic.
The Stags lost competitively to Lowcountry power Goose Creek, 34-20, showing much more resistance than they did in a 61-0 loss to the Gators 10 days earlier in a scrimmage.
He said the Knights must be prepared for a four-quarter battle with Berkeley.
"Anything can happen in the first game," Stackley said. "We're certainly not taking them lightly... they went down the field and scored three touchdowns against a really good Goose Creek team. This is a team they've been pointing to for three years. They've got some older guys that have paid their dues and are hungry.
"I know they would like nothing more than to come here and whip us on our own field."
The Knights lead the all-time series 19-10 going back to 1984 after last season's 21-0 victory, and have won 12 of the last 15 meetings. Berkeley last won, 40-14, in 2010.
Last fall, linebacker Cecil Smith made 13 tackles to help Stratford blank Berkeley for the second straight year. Quarterback Jacob Park threw for 240-plus yards and two scores.
Park is coming off a phenomenal showing in Sertoma. The Georgia commitment was 5 for 5 for 271 yards over the two-quarter scrimmage and tossed three touchdowns in a 27-0 rout of James Island.
"Jacob has improved tremendously as a leader," Stackley said. "He understands this is his football team more than he ever has even though he's been the captain of our ship for four years."
Stratford travels to Sumter and Fort Dorchester over the next two weeks, while Berkeley hosts Summerville and Cane Bay.
For more information on both teams, please see our annual football edition inside this edition.

The connection between agriculture and defense
The connection between agriculture and defense
Helping nations feed themselves promotes internal stability and global security.
Forget oil. For thousands of years, more wars have been fought over food and water than for any other reason. It's a history that forecasters at the United Nations and other organizations say will likely be repeated in years ahead.
"Food will win the war" was a popular patriotic slogan during both World War I and II. But in the 21st century, the U.S. military believes food can play a huge role in helping prevent wars from happening.
"The world has become more insecure since the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s," said U.S. Army colonel Cheryl Smart (pictured) at the second annual California Ag Summit last week in Davis, Calif. "A smaller, flatter, more troubled world is the forecast outlook. What we're seeing now is more conflict between nations of haves and have-nots."
Smart explained that the biggest instability problems today are in areas that do the poorest job of meeting their own foods needs and/or have shortages of other essential resources such as water. Because food is perhaps the most fundamental necessity of a strong and stable nation, such shortages invariably lead to social unrest, economic weakness, and political instability.
"As business and the economy go, so do defense and national security eventually," Smart added.
Helping other, less-developed nations achieve self-sufficiency in food production can be a powerful weapon in the fight against terrorism and regional conflicts, she added. But doing so requires increased research and development investment into new technologies and methods that "work out there, not just here."

Coelacanth genome surfaces: Unexpected insights from an ancient looking fish
An international team of researchers has sequenced the genome of the African coelacanth -- a giant, ancient fish thought to have gone extinct around the time of the dinosaurs but discovered a few decades ago off the coast of Africa. Their research reveals insights into how some vertebrates adapted to life on land, while others remained creatures of the sea. Learn more about these extraordinary creatures and what scientists are learning about them in this video.

The Mount Pleasant Police Department has a form that must be filled out - as required by law - when an officer meets with anyone in the streets. It is called a field interview card. An officer on patrol noticed a man one day behind an abandoned church and drove behind the building to see what was going on. According to the police statement, the man goes behind the building everyday to "crave wood" after work. The officer wrote that he did indeed observe the man "craving wood."
The officer then left the subject after completing this card and it was submitted with his reports.
An officer witnessed a driver go off onto the shoulder of the road and flipped on his video camera to tape this person's driving abilities. The officer then flipped on his blue lights a short time later to pull the driver over. According to the police report, the driver kept going and even sped up for a brief time. He eventually pulled into a driveway and parked the car. The officer approached the driver, and the man demanded to know why the officer stopped him. The officer explained that the driver crossed over the white line. But according to the report, the driver was adamant that he did not cross over anything or violate state law. He told the officer he did not have any reason to stop him. The officer then asked him if he had a driver's license, and the driver said no. He again told the officer he had no right to stop him and with that, turned and walked away and went into his garage and shut the door.
The officer knocked on the door and the man refused to answer it.
A warrant was written up on the man for failure to stop for blue lights, and it was determined his license was suspended and a warrant for that was issued as well.
A man called police when he found out his girlfriend was leaving the state with their three-month-old child. He wanted police to stop her. But because the two were not married, there wasn't much the police could do. According to the report, they interviewed the girlfriend who said she found out some startling information abut an online sex ad her boyfriend was running. She said when she found this out she became angry and upset and realized it was time to end the relationship. She made arrangements to move back to her home state and began to pack, according to the report.
There was no altercation or arguing, but he made her feel uncomfortable about her decision.
The officer explained the family court and civil procedure, and the boyfriend said he understood.
In just a matter of two hours, a man's home was broken into and his sterling silver was stolen. He called police, according to a report and explained that he arrived home from the bank, just after being gone two hours and found his back door open. He told the officer he left the back sliding glass door open just enough so the cat could come and go.
Amid the sterling things that were ultimately stolen were silver plated items that were not stolen. Two rings and a gold nugget were also taken, according to the police report. A safe was taken from the bedroom that contained his sister's will and pornography. The crime scene officers were only able to lift a partial print. The officers noticed that other pieces of jewelry and expensive electronics were not stolen from the house.
None of the neighbors saw anyone come or leave from the residence and the man's insurance told him to file a police report to get the ball rolling on compensation.
A man arrived at a vacant house he has owned for the last 12 years and found the entire home to be destroyed. All of the kitchen appliances had been stolen as well as the bathtub, toilets and bathroom sinks. Mirrors were also missing and the walls had been spray painted with holes in the drywall. The air condition unit had also been stolen and there was damage to the garage door.
Drug needles were taken into evidence and the home dusted for finger prints. The homeowner did not want to press charges for the vandalism or the stolen items.
According to a police incident report, an officer threw a cone in the roadway during a police driver training exercise. As he did this, another officer driving a vehicle struck the cone, causing it to shatter the car windshield.
The officer driving was not injured, and training was immediately discontinued.
An officer was traveling behind a vehicle late one morning when he saw the driver acting erraticly. He pulled the driver over for suspicion of DUI, according to the report. The driver said he was not drinking, simply on his way to work. The man's speech was fine and the officer did not detect an odor of alcohol. The man swore he had not been drinking. But there was a cell phone on the man's lap and the officer asked him if he was texting. The driver said he might have been, according to the report.
At this point the officer asked for his license and registration, all of which came back invalid. But the driver was adamant that his registration was up to date and his license had not been suspended. He was told to bring the paperwork proving it to court, and in the meantime was booked into the detention center and his truck was towed.
Kids in science class were working on projects and began horsing around, throwing cotton balls at each other. One girl put hot glue on a cotton ball and threw it at a boy across the table. The glue was still so hot it burned his hand and he had to be rushed to the nurse. Both of their parents were called, and the girl swore she did not know the glue was still hot. According to the report, she said she would not have thrown it had she known. But after the father talked to his son, he learned that kids at school had been being mean to his son because they thought his son was a snitch. The report said that because of this, the father decided to go ahead with pressing charges.
Police were called for a report of a drunk man loitering around a parking lot. They found him flat on his back on the sidewalk.
Police asked him what he was doing and he said, "Just trying to get through the day." The officer asked him how much he had to drink. He said about a $1.50. The officer asked what $1.50 meant and the man said about $1.50 worth of beer. But the suspect could not stand without leaning on the wall. The report said the officer had to catch the suspect several times so he would not fall. The man's breath smelled of booze, the report said, and his clothes were disheveled and dirty. He was arrested for being drunk in public.
Police were called to a disturbance in a shopping center and the officer arrived to speak with the manager. The officer asked the manager what was going on and, according to the report, the manager angrily exclaimed, "You should know. I told it to the dispatcher." The officer explained to the manager that all of the information was not relayed and asked the store manager to tell him what happened.
The manager explained that two kids came in causing a disturbance, and one was cussing and making loud noises. The store manager said he also believed they were shoplifting. The officer then asked the store manager to see his identification and the surveillance video. The report said the store manager became angry with the officer and stated, "I don't even know why I called you. I'll just handle it myself next time. I'll be letting your supervisor know about this."
The officer then disengaged from the store manager and left the business. The report said the manager's behavior and statements demonstrated his lack of cooperation with the police.

She's busy planning a wedding, but there's something else Savannah Guthrie would like to plan in the future – a family.
"I would love to have kids," the Today show host, who got engaged to her boyfriend of four years, Michael Feldman, in May, tells ELLE magazine for its September issue (available Aug. 20).
"I hope so, if we're lucky and blessed, but who knows what life holds, you know? I'm 41 years old."
Guthrie, who celebrated her one-year anniversary as a Today co-host in July, also talks about losing her father when she was a teenager.
"Matt [Lauer, her Today co-host] asked me at dinner the other day, 'What would you say the impact of losing your dad so young was on you?' And I said ultimately it made me more sensitive and gentler, and, I hope, kinder," she says.
"Of course it was terrible, and I think about him every day – but there's something about a dramatic event like that that makes you a bit more tender, a bit softer."
