Since its inception, the top honor an artist could be given at the Country Music Association awards is this one: Entertainer of the Year. Originally a revolving door of winners, the winner in early years was often not even nominated the following year. In 1981, Barbara Mandrell became the first artist to win the award twice. Alabama succeeded her with a three year run from 1982-1984. Fourteen years later, Garth Brooks became the first artist two win four times, a feat later matched by Kenny Chesney in 2008.
Here's a look back at the award from the very beginning, along with some facts and feats about the category and its nominees.
One year after being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Eddy Arnold was named the very first Entertainer of the Year at the inaugural CMA awards in 1967. Don't assume it was a sympathy vote. Arnold had three #1 hits in the twelve months leading up to the ceremony, as he was in the middle of his impressive mid-sixties comeback, a period best defined by the 1965 classic, "Make the World Go Away." He remains the only member of the Hall of Fame to win this award after being inducted.
Sara Evans
Playlist: The Very Best of Sara Evans
While Sara Evans is reportedly in the studio hard at work on her forthcoming seventh studio album, Sony Legacy has released a new fourteen track retrospective of her sixteen-year career – the latest installment in the label's Playlist series. Coming nearly five and a half years after Evans' 2007 Greatest Hits package, Playlist: The Very Best of Sara Evans intersperses several of her biggest hits with a few less expected inclusions. While there is some great material to be heard, there are a few missed opportunities as well.
Independent country artist Amber Hayes released her first EP C'mon in the summer of 2010, and has since been covering all media ground, building up a solid fan following without the support of a major label. She had already added "theater performer" to her resume back in 2008, when she was cast as Kathy in the Conway Twitty musical. The year 2012 brought about the release of her second EP Any Day Is a Good Day, as well as her screen debut in the film Cowgirls 'n Angels. Amber Hayes recently spoke with Country Universe to discuss her accomplishments over the past year.
100 Greatest Men: The Complete List
Not many teenage stars get a second shot at stardom, but David Houston was a remarkable exception.
In the Entertainer and Male Vocalist races, I've been making the case for fresh blood. In those categories, the routine nominees are mostly past their peaks, and there's room to let some rising stars in on the action.
Oh, to be able to make the same case for the Female Vocalist race. Let's take a look at last year's nominees:
For the first time in this category's history, I believe voters are facing a dilemma that plagued the Vocal Duo category for most of the nineties: there just aren't enough worthy nominees to finish out the category.
As with the similar CMA category of Single of the Year, looking over the history of this category is the quickest way to get a snapshot of country music in a given year. There is a quite a bt of consensus among the two organizations here, and it is very rare for the winner at one show to not at least be nominated at the other. The winners list here would make a great 2-disc set of country classics, at least for those who don't mind a little pop in their country. The ACM definitely has more of a taste for crossover than its CMA counterpart, and the organizations have only agreed on 17 singles in the past four decades and change.
As always, we start with a look at this year's nominees and work our way back to 1968.
There's usually a "Huh?" nominee among the ACM list in recent years. This year, it's David Nail. Good for him! Currington hasn't won yet for this hit, even though he got himself a Grammy nomination for it. With Lady Antebellum reaching the upper ranks of the country and pop charts with "Need You Now", my guess is that they're the presumptive favorites. Then again, Miranda Lambert is a nominee for the third straight year, and she's up for her biggest radio hit.
Adkins has been a fairly regular fixture on country radio since 1996, but this was his first major industry award. He also won the ACM for Top New Male Vocalist in 1997.
Country Universe contributor and reader Cory DeStein flagged this rundown from Billboard regarding women on the charts this decade:
PERFECT 10: On Country Songs, Carrie Underwood ropes her 10th top 10, as "Cowboy Casanova" climbs 11-8. With the advance, Underwood now stands alone in first-place for most top 10s on the chart among solo women this decade.
Here are the solo females with the most top 10s on Country Songs since 2000:
10, Carrie Underwood
9, Faith Hill
9, Martina McBride
8, Taylor Swift
7, Sara Evans
7, Reba McEntire
6, Jo Dee Messina
5, LeAnn Rimes
5, Gretchen Wilson
4, Shania Twain
Notably, the artist who led the category among women last decade did so with almost three times as many top 10s. Reba McEntire ranked first among solo women in the '90s with 27 top 10s on Country Songs. Trisha Yearwood placed second with 18 between 1990 and 1999, and Faith Hill, Patty Loveless and Tanya Tucker each posted 14 in that span.
The decline in fortune for women at radio this decade is even more pronounced when you compare the above top ten to the previous decade:
Katie Cook has been a staple on Country Music Television since 2002, hosting various series and specials such as CMT Most Wanted Live, the MWL concert series, MWL Star, MWL Stacked and the popular weekly entertainment magazine show, CMT Insider.
But her experience with country music is actually three-fold: along with being embedded in the industry as a television host and interviewer, she's also the daughter of Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member Roger Cook, and she's both a singer and songwriter herself – she released an album in 2000 as part of a band called Reno and continues to hone her songwriting skills. Cook took some time to share with Country Universe her opinions on the state of country music, the evolution of CMT and her recent White House visit, among other topics.

Five states account for majority of public sector work stoppages
November 10, 1998
From 1982 to 1997, California and four Midwest States accounted for the majority of major work stoppages in State and local government. Of the 116 total stoppages in the public sector during this period, 72 were in California, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. California led the five states with 25 work stoppages. Michigan had the second most with 15, followed by Illinois with 12, Ohio with 11, and Pennsylvania with 9.
[Chart data—TXT]
Although Illinois did not have the most work stoppages, it did lead the five States in number of workers idled by its work stoppages with 161,600. This resulted in more than 1.7 million days of idleness. California had the second highest total of workers idled (137,900), while Michigan had the second highest total of days idled (786,700).
The Bureau of Labor Statistics defines major work stoppages as strikes or lockouts that idle 1,000 or more workers. These data are a product of the BLS Office of Compensation and Working Conditions. Additional information is available from "1982-97 State and Local Government Work Stoppages and Their Legal Background" (PDF 40K), Compensation and Working Conditions, Fall 1998.

After coming so close to winning the Region 2-AAAAAA championship, the No. 2 seed Newton Lady Rams hosted the Lady Packers of Colquitt in the first round of the state tournament on Wednesday evening. Newton definitely did not come out with the same energy they had in the region championship, but they did have late push to be in the position to with the game. Ultimately, Newton came up short and was defeated 46-42.
Having great vision, strength, deceptive speed and uncapped energy is what you need to crush a team on your home court, and that's what Tucker did to the Alcovy Lady Tigers, dismantling them in a double-digit victory. From start to finish, Tucker kept the lead, and never looked back.

Arlana Barnes (Alcovy), D.J. Hill (Newton) and Raytavious Jackson (Eastside) headline this week's athletes of the week.
Up until Friday, Newton hadn't lost a region game all season. They traveled down the road to face region opponent and county rival Alcovy on Friday, and Friday night the Lady Tigers ended the Lady Rams' unbeaten region record.
The pick and roll is such an astoundingly simple play, yet it can be the foundation of a team's offense and it can be virtually impossible to stop. Under head coach David Baker, the Lady Tigers use the pick and roll to get their offense going almost exclusively. Still, teams have trouble stopping it.
The last time the Lady Rams and the Lady Tigers played, Newton won on a putback buzzer beater from Alexcia Chatman at home. This time Alcovy's girls didn't let the game come down to one final shot as they used the second half to run off to a 60-51 victory over Newton, giving Newton its first region loss of the season.
Ny'tauja Mckinnon, Keidra Sears and Raynesha Clay have been named Newton's, Alcovy's and Eastside's athletes of the week respectively.
Alcovy continued to cement its position as a threat to win the region with a dominant 55-36 win against neighboring county rival, Rockdale County.
Ever wonder what a football team composed of the best players and the best coaches of Newton County's three high schools would look like? Well, we're here to answer that question with the Newton County All-Area football team.
And just like that 2014 is almost over. It's been a big year in sports, especially in this electrifying second half of the year. We've done a year in review of spring sports in the summer, so now it's time we look at some of the best and biggest moments in Newton County sports for the second half of 2014.

Press Releases
Hamburg, 4 August 2016 Every atom counts Cancer cells are more dependent on a cellular garbage disposal unit – the proteasome – than healthy cells, and cancer therapies take advantage of this dependency. The Schneider group at EMBL Hamburg and colleagues at MPI Göttingen have now succeeded in determining the 3D structure of the human proteasome in unprecedented detail and have deciphered the exact mechanism by which inhibitor drugs block the proteasome. Their surprising results, published in Science, will pave the way to develop more effective treatments. more
Heidelberg, 3 August 2016 The force is strong with embryo cells For a cell in an embryo, the secret to becoming part of the baby's body instead of the placenta is to contract more and carry on dancing, scientists in the Hiiragi and Nédélec labs at EMBL have found. The study, published today in Nature, could one day have implications for assisted reproduction. more
Heidelberg, 14 July 2016 How new HIV drugs lock virus in immaturity A new type of HIV drug currently being tested works in an unusual way, scientists in the Molecular Medicine Partnership Unit, a collaboration between EMBL and Heidelberg University Hospital, have found. They also discovered that when the virus became resistant to early versions of these drugs, it did not do so by blocking or preventing their effects, but rather by circumventing them. The study, published online today in Science, presents the most detailed view yet of part of the immature form of HIV. more
Heidelberg, 24 June 2016 Impact on EMBL of UK referendum to leave EU Yesterday, the United Kingdom (UK) electorate voted to leave the European Union (EU). The UK's decision to leave the EU has no direct consequences for the UK's membership of EMBL. There will be no immediate impact on EMBL as a whole or on EMBL-EBI in particular. more
Heidelberg, 28 April 2016 Poo transplants better understood For the first time, scientists studying stool transplants have been able to track which strains of bacteria from a donor take hold in a patient's gut after a transplant. The team, led by EMBL with collaborators at Wageningen University and the Academic Medical Centre, both in the Netherlands, and the University of Helsinki, Finland found that compatibility between donor and patient likely plays a bigger role in these transplants than previously thought. The study, published today in Science, could help make stool transplants a valid treatment option for more conditions than they are currently applied to. more
Heidelberg, 14 April 2016 EMBL scientists reveal structure of nuclear pore's inner ring It was a 3D puzzle with over 1000 pieces, with only a rather fuzzy outline as a guide. But scientists in the Beck group at EMBL have now put enough pieces in place to see the big picture. In a study published today in Science, they present their latest findings, bringing the nuclear pore complex into focus. more
Heidelberg, 30 March 2016 Designing gene therapy Scientists at EMBL have increased the efficiency of a gene-editing tool called Sleeping Beauty, which is showing promise in clinical trials for leukaemia and lymphoma immunotherapies. They made the improvement by determining the 3-dimensional structure of the molecule's active domain, and using that information to design better versions of this tool. Published today in Nature Communications, the study is likely to lead to further enhancements, ultimately resulting in better patient outcomes. more
Heidelberg, 21 March 2016 Mothers and daughters EMBL scientists have observed how an egg cell gets rid of its centrioles – structures that play a crucial role in cell division – to ensure the proper development of the embryo. The study, published today in Journal of Cell Biology, is the first time the whole process has been seen in its entirety, in real time. more
Monterotondo, 18 March 2016 Forgetting to learn They say that once you've learned to ride a bicycle, you never forget how to do it.

Press Coverage
Heidelberg, 16 February 2016 Picture Release | Forever young This 'before and after' image could be thought of as stem cells' equivalent of an advert for anti-wrinkle cream: 'look how cells stay young!' It shows that a molecule called microRNA-142 allows stem cells to remain unchanged, instead of growing into specialised cell types. Given the right conditions, stem cells with low levels of microRNA-142 (green, left) grow into neurons (pink, right). But stem cells with high levels of the molecule (red, left) remain unchanged (blue, right), scientists at EMBL Heidelberg have found. more

Mesut Ozil at his majestic best as Arsene Wenger triumphs over Chelsea
A rampant Arsenal side punished Chelsea's grave defensive errors to end Arsene Wenger's five-year hoodoo against the Blues on Saturday, prevailing 3-0 at the Emirates.
The Gunners had not beaten their west London rivals in nine league games and failed to score in their last six meetings, yet the visitors could hardly have been more accommodating in helping to end that run.
Antonio Conte used a low defensive block aimed at eliminating spaces between the lines, but saw his plan undone by Gary Cahill...

Robert Reich: Without bold alternatives, Americans desperate for big solutions are attracted to bold crackpot ideas like Herman Cain's "9-9-9" proposal, which would raise taxes on the poor and cut them for the rich.
FBI Account of "Terror Plot" Suggests Sting Operation
Gareth Porter: While the administration of Barack Obama vows to hold the Iranian government "accountable" for the alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, the legal document describing evidence in the case provides multiple indications that it was mainly the result of an FBI "sting" operation.
We Can't Abandon Our Veterans; Slashing VA Budget Will Do Just That
Ed Hooper: The recent proposals to cut military retirement benefits by $42.5 billion as part of the deficit reduction program are an abandonment of a promise this nation gave to its career soldiers.
Little Local News Coverage for Occupy America
Sharon Kyle: Not a single camera or reporter from the local news stations was within view. I couldn't believe that I stood witnessing this phenomenal movement without a hint of evidence that traditional media was documenting or reporting.
The Seven Biggest Economic Lies
Robert Reich: Here's a short effort to rebut the seven biggest whoppers now being told by those who want to take America backwards.
What to Do with the Anti-Government Outrage
Adam Eran: The real outrage is that private banks receive far more money than any social safety net program would need, but the proposed cuts impact only safety net programs.
The Republican Weapon of Mass Cynicism
Robert Reich: If we can't trust government at a time like this, whom can we trust? Corporations? Wall Street? Bill Gates and Warren Buffett? Or is each of us now simply on our own?
Micro Politics and the Fear of Small Government
Mario Rivas: Bell will forever stand as a stark reality of what can happen when too much trust and power are given to small government in the hands of the corrupt.
How Big Government Enables Big Religion
Benjamin Zeller: Rick Perry may fill stadiums for rallies and he may even win the GOP nomination for President, but unlike Ike he will never be able to claim the mantle of a united Big Religion for himself.
Two Cheers and One Jeer for the American Jobs Act
Robert Reich: President Obama laid out the problem correctly and effectively. He explained why jobs and growth must be the nation's first priority now — not the federal deficit.
The Great Health Care Takeaway
Shamus Cooke: Most workers now understand that there is a difference between apparently having health care and actually having health care: if you are technically "insured" but cannot afford doctor visits due to high deductibles and co-pays, you really aren't insured.
Fed Policy Needs a U-Turn
Brent Budowsky: America needs new thinking for monetary and fiscal policy. Fed policy has failed. Government policy is inadequate. Ron Paul has advanced an important debate.
Latinos Defend DHS's Focus on High Priority Immigration Cases
Seth Hoy: Anti-immigrant restrictionists will continue to drive a wedge between Latino voters and the Republican party by hurling racially charged sentiments—like today's accusation that President Obama is waging a war on "white America"—in hopes of stirring up their own base.

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 271934 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 234 PM CDT TUE SEP 27 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Thursday night) Issued at 234 PM CDT Tue Sep 27 2016 It appears now that the closed upper storm system will have more of an impact on our region than previously thought. The 12Z models are in good agreement in wobbling it around the Ohio Valley in the vicinity of Louisville and Cincinnati Wednesday through 12Z Friday. The end result is that rounds of showers will accompany impulses rotating around the low from Wednesday through Thursday night. They should primarily impact southwest Indiana and the Pennyrile, but areas all the way back to the Mississippi River may not be out of reach. As the low descends toward the region Wednesday, a major impulse will push a cold front through the region, along with a good chance of showers, and possibly even a few thunderstorms. This is a very strong signal in the models, but decided to cap PoPs at 50% to avoid too drastic of a change to the forecast. The best PoPs will be in the late morning in the EVV Tri State. The front will clear the entire area by 21Z, and that should mark the end of any precipitation chances in the Pennyrile. Not sure how much instability there will be, but cannot rule out a few lightning strikes. Behind this initial impulse and cold front, forecast confidence decreases significantly in the timing of impulses and areas of showers through our region. Will keep 20-30% PoPs confined mainly to the EVV Tri State and the Pennyrile Thursday and Thursday night. Given the proximity of the upper low, cannot completely rule out a thunderstorm or two, but model soundings do not look that favorable at this time. Looks like most of the area may have seen their coolest temperatures this morning. The west and northwest winds and increasing cloud cover, especially in the east, will help hold temperatures up each night. Generally stayed on the warm side of guidance through the period for lows. Highs will be highly dependent on the persistence of clouds and precipitation both Wednesday and especially on Thursday. Played the consensus card for highs both days. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday) Issued at 234 PM CDT Tue Sep 27 2016 Models have been more and more aggressive with the last few runs with regards to moisture, clouds and precipitation being a bit more plentiful during the first part of the extended forecast period. The GFS and Canadian are falling more in line with the ECMWF in positioning the upper low further west, allowing a better part of our area to see some of its effects. An upper level low, currently situated over the northern Great Lakes, will travel south and be situated just to the east of our CWA by Friday. Moisture will be most plentiful east of the Mississippi River on Friday and isolated to scattered light showers will be a good bet especially in the eastern half of the CWA (southwest IN, Pennyrile region of west KY). The upper low does not move too much during the following 24 hours but tries to slide to the northwest a bit. That means much of the same weather for Friday night, which is a little bit slower than previous runs. However, by Saturday, we finally see the low scoot northward but it will probably take most of the day to do so, therefore much of the same type of weather should be expected...clouds and scattered showers, although the main chances for some showers will be confined to mainly the Wabash Valley/EVV Tri State and the Pennyrile region of west KY. Temperatures both on Friday and Saturday will stay in the upper 60s to lower 70s, warmer readings in SEMO. By Saturday night, all models tend to agree that the threat for shower activity will be waning although the clouds may be slow to fade. A weak upper level ridge will build in by Sunday night into Monday which will bring drier and warmer weather. We should see places reach close to 80 degrees on Monday. This upper ridge moves east on Tuesday allow southwesterly flow to set up which will mean even warmer temperatures should result (lower 80s). But right now, any additional wet weather will hold off for a while. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1235 PM CDT Tue Sep 27 2016 West winds will be the rule until a cold front arrives late Wednesday morning. A few gusts into the teens will be possible this afternoon and just ahead of the front in the morning. We should keep enough wind through the night to prevent fog formation, but will not be at all surprised if KCGI tanks again. Showers are expected as the cold front moves through KEVV and KOWB. Cannot rule out a brief MVFR ceiling with/behind the front at either site, but will keep the forecasts VFR for now. && .PAH Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...DRS LONG TERM...CW AVIATION...DRS

I ran for senior class president in college, and being a pretty strong candidate, no one ran against me. So I purchased an ad in the school newspaper advertising my candidacy: "Vote for Hallmark, Senior Class President. You have no other choice," making "you have no other choice" my campaign slogan. I thought it was clever.
"You have no other choice" could be the campaign slogan for all candidates in Randall County because we truly have no other choice. The races are uncontested. So what is the point of voting? Yes, it is entertaining to read the ballot and see the funny names. Still, does it really matter whether we vote or not?
This year, of course, we are a bit more interested since it is a presidential election and "one of our boys" is in the fight. Even so, only a small percentage of those eligible to vote will select the leader of the greatest country on earth. To decide, American voters have watched the candidates chat about personal stuff on Oprah and Rosie and tell jokes on David Letterman. We've watched them not give answers about their own ideas while showing great eagerness to misrepresent their opponents' proposed policies. Based on this absence of information, we will hire one of them to do the job.
It's hard to figure why we do it this way. When my car needs repairs, I don't care if Steve can create a top 10 list; I only want to know if he can fix my car. When I needed surgery last spring, I didn't ask my doctor what he was like growing up, I only asked if he could fix me.
However, in image-conscious America, what the presidential candidates believe and know matters little; what matters most to us is their personality (or absence thereof).
I also know my vote is irrelevant in the most practical sense; George W. Bush will win this state whether I vote for him or another candidate; Kay Bailey Hutchison will win with or without me; Larry Combest will win whether I show up or not. All those uncontested candidates in Randall County will win whether they pick up 10 votes or 10,000.
Despite these reasons not to vote, I will show up bright and early Tuesday to cast my votes for George, Kay, Larry, and the gang because my vote is important.
My vote is important to my daughter. Kids who grow up in homes where civic responsibility is modeled are more likely to view such responsibility important when they grow up.
My vote is important to my students. Whether I want to be or not, I'm a role model to impressionable college students. I always get one of those "I Voted" stickers and wear it proudly as a reminder for people to vote but also as a symbol that I value voting. Students who do not see me on Election Day may ask later in the week if I voted and I want to be able to say "yes."
My vote is important to me. Voting is a form of self-persuasion where I confirm through my actions that I care about my community and my country enough to take some time away from my selfish pursuits. Because ultimately, voting is not about being a Republican, or a Democrat, or an independent. The most important vote I will have on Nov. 7 is not for Bush. The most important vote I will have on Nov. 7 is my vote for democracy. It is an endorsement that though I find my choices weak and in most cases I have no choice at all, I consider it important to participate in the election process.
It is trite to say but true nonetheless: People died to give you and me the right to vote. Even now in countries sprinkled around the globe, that battle continues. It is almost embarrassing how little we seem to care about voting. Come Tuesday, cast a vote for democracy even if you feel that you truly have no other choice.

Horses Dance Through New York's Grand Central Terminal
Category: Media & Culture
/ Mar 25, 2013 4:23PM EDT
More than 750,000 visitors and commuters pass through New York's Grand Central Terminal on any given day, but a new art installation is giving pause to those who cross through this traveling gateway. Thirty colorful straw horses were brought to life on Monday (March 25), as part of artist Nick Cave's latest installation titled "Heard NY." "We see the hustle and bustle of Grand Central station," Cave told Reuters. "People are moving as a herd would move, you know, trying to get from point A to point B on this train versus that train, so here, you know, this herd of horses is still, sort of, imitating that kind of motion and activity of movement within the space." The event is part of Grand Central's centennial celebration, presented by Creative Time and the MTA Arts for Transit. "It's a piece that will continue to evolve," said Cave. "It's a piece that speaks about a dream state, this imaginary sort of world, in which I would like for us to get back to within our day-to-day existence." Two performers cloaked in colorful hay suits operated each horse, grazing through the terminal and breaking apart into a choreographed routine. Spectators enjoyed the show. "It was magical and so beautiful, and vibrant and colorful, and energetic," said New York resident Brenda Smith. "It was really special." Carl Sturkin also marveled at the performance. "Really beautiful costumes and amazing how they move around in them," Sturkin said. "Can't quite figure out how they do it." Performances, or "daily crossings" will take place in Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt Hall at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and 14:00 (EDT) daily from March 25 through March 31. Video Source: Reuters

Felix Trinidad: I Will Never Fight Again, No More
By Rey Colon
The five-time world champion in three different weight divisions, Felix 'Tito' Trinidad, has come out and said that he will never fight again and dedicates his time to his wife and family. For a few years, Trinidad tried to chase a rematch with Bernard Hopkins, but at this point he doesn't ever plan to step inside a ring as a fighter.
"I've gone been three years without a fight. I'm very, very rusty but healthy. Before when I was fighting, I would rest for a week and then hit the gym. Now for three years I have not done anything. It is difficult to go back. It is the first time that I've gone so long without doing anything. I am dedicated to my girls, my wife and I spend my time with them. I'm like [Roberto] Duran ... no more," he said to BoxingScene.com/Sport Press.
Trinidad, who is hovering around the 180 pounds, had his last fight in January 2008 when he came out of retirement and lost to Roy Jones Jr. by unanimous decision.
The Puerto Rican slugger had originally retired in 2002 after knocking out Hacine Cherifi and returned in 2004 to beat Ricardo Mayorga, but retired again in May 2005 after his decision loss to Winky Wright. He took a long break before retunring in 2008 for the fight with Jones Jr.
At age 38, Trinidad leaves behind an impressive record of 42-3 with 35 knockouts, and plans to pursue other ventures.

The Aiken County Sheriffs Office is investigating two separate suspicious fires that were reported in North Augusta on Monday.
The fires occurred at a trailer on the 2000 block of Thomas Road at 1:50 p.m. and at another mobile home on Dabbs Lane at about 6:30 p.m. No injuries were reported.
The first blaze was reported by a resident living near the property. The fire was considered suspicious because the trailer was apparently vacant, and the electricity was not connected, according to the report.
Several people had been seen entering and exiting the property before but not on Monday, according to the report.
Gunshots were heard about five to 10 minutes prior to the fire but deputies were unable to find evidence of anyone discharging a firearm in the vicinity of that property, the report read.
The second fire was at the Dabbs Lane trailer, which also appeared vacant as there was no electricity, and the cable had been cut near the pole, the report read. The fire was started inside the residence, according to investigators.
The Midland Valley Fire chief said that his department responded to another suspicious fire on Dabbs Lane on May 5.

Read This Before You Finish Your Basement
Even if it's currently cold concrete and crammed with boxes of off-season duds, the lowest floor of your home probably has loads of potential
Even if it's currently cold concrete and crammed with boxes of off-season duds, the lowest floor of your home probably has loads of potential. Treat it just as you would any of the rooms aboveground, and it might just become the most popular spot in the house—for a lot less cash than adding on. Here's our bottom-line advice for turning this underutilized space into a place you'll be eager to spend time in.
a) Put the main socializing area in a spot that gets the best natural light, to draw people in.
b) Bedrooms need a window for egress, so they'll need to be located at the perimeter.
c) The TV-viewing zone can be in a darker spot, to reduce glare and create a home-theater feel.
d) Store snacks and beverages in an area you can access without crossing in front of the TV.
It's best to have both a battery backup for your main pump, in case of a power outage, and a second pump, in case the first one gives out. If your house is hooked up to a municipal water supply, invest in a water-powered backup pump that's juiced by pressure in the supply line.
Minor leaks may not need the attention of a pro. "Often a few simple fixes will solve a moisture problem," says This Old House general contractor Tom Silva. His tips:
• Install diverters to send gutter water at least 10 feet from the foundation.
• Slope soil away from the foundation.
• Seal small cracks or gaps around pipes with concrete-patching compound.
• Fill larger cracks inside and out with hydraulic cement, which expands as it cures. A structural engineer should inspect any cracks that are wider than a pencil.
While they're exposed, slip foam insulation sleeves over hot-water pipes to prevent heat loss and over cold-water ones to prevent condensation from dripping on the inside of the drywall or ceiling.
Fix moisture problems first, then follow our pro tips on methods and materials.
Banish mold—ban standard drywall
It just doesn't belong below grade; mold can grow on the paper coating, and the gypsum core can crumble. Try USG's Sheetrock Brand Mold Tough Gypsum Panels or Georgia-Pacific's nonpaper-faced DensArmor Plus High-Performance Interior Panels. Both got the highest scores on a standard lab test for mold resistance.
Best for: Avid DIYers on tight budgets
How it's done: It's the tried-and-true traditional method: A vapor barrier and rigid-foam insulation are laid over foundation walls, followed by a stud frame and drywall. Watch a video of Tom Silva using this method to finish foundation walls.
Best for: DIYers who want to save labor and floor space
How it's done: Notched insulation panels are fitted together and glued, clipped, or screwed to foundation walls. Then drywall is attached to integrated strips, resulting in a thinner wall. InSoFast panels have labor-saving chases for wiring and back-side channels for drainage.
Best for: Non-DIYers
How it's done: Licensed pros install a proprietary modular system that combines insulation, finished wall panels, and sometimes ceilings, floors, and finishes. Some types are attached to a level track, so they go up quickly. Owens Corning makes the best known of these systems.
a) Put them in sparingly. Too many below-grade rooms will feel like a rabbit warren.
b) Place them between columns to turn support posts into design elements.
c) Build half-wall dividers or walls with window cutouts so that light can penetrate the interior.
d) Make them mobile. Sliding doors and movable screens can be closed for privacy as needed.
Whether you're moving equipment or boxing it in, heed the advice of TOH plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey: "Make sure a real human being can fit around mechanicals for upkeep." Plan on 2 to 3 feet of clearance.

Ceiling tiles have gotten a huge face-lift in recent years, so your basement need not look like a bland boardroom. You'll need a few extra inches of headroom to hang the grid; ask the manufacturer.
1. Classic Ceilings
2. Armstrong
3. The Tin Man
a) To soundproof the ceiling, add fiberglass batts without a vapor barrier between the joists. Then fasten one or two layers of drywall to them, using resilient clips and metal furring channels (called hat channels, for their shape). This isolates the drywall from the joists, eliminating vibration and thus minimizing sound travel.
b) Place mechanical equipment on top of sound-dampening antivibration mats or pads.
c) Minimize connections between ducts in the basement and upper floors to reduce noise transmission.
A dim basement is a real turnoff, so you'll need more fixtures than you've got elsewhere. Recessed cans broadcast light in a cone shape that's wider at the base; if you're using them, space them closer together to avoid dark spots. A good rule of thumb: Divide the ceiling height by 2 to get the maximum distance between cans.
Skip the corrugated metal and go for prefab wells made from fiberglass or another faux-stone material. Top them with grates or plastic covers so that people can't fall in, but make sure the toppers can be removed easily by a young child to ensure emergency egress.

Sometimes a finished basement floor makes the bottom stair a little too shallow, throwing off the whole run. Tom Silva's fix: Measure the rise of each step. If any are shorter than 7 inches, you can remove the treads and add spacers to pad them out as you go up. Just keep heights below code maximum, and make sure they don't differ in height by more than ⅜ inch.
You don't need a full kitchen. But you'll get plenty of mileage from a mini fridge for beverages, a cabinet to hold snacks, and a microwave for heating leftovers or making popcorn for movie nights. Keep a tray handy for stacking and transporting dirty dishes upstairs.
• Game tables eat up a lot of square footage. For a small pool table (3½ feet by 7 feet), you need a clear space at least 11½ feet wide by 14½ feet long to play comfortably—if you buy the shortest cues, that is. A tournament-size pool table (4½ feet by 9 feet) or a 5-by-9 Ping-Pong table needs even more room. Unless you're positive you'll use it a lot, consider skipping a single-activity table.
• An all-purpose worktable can seat several people for crafts, puzzles, board games, and much more—and designers say it's often a better draw for crowds than a game table.
• Today's video games involve actual physical activity, not just fiddling with a joystick. Check your gaming platform for recommended clearances around and above the console. (No one should break a bone playing a virtual version of any sport.)
• Wall-to-wall carpet is a good choice to deaden sound in a play area. Opt for synthetic fibers that resist mold and mildew.
It's so cheery and welcoming, you hardly know you're on the bottom floor.
1. Dress up the walls.
Tall wainscot gives the space a homey vibe while saving the drywall from dings and dents.
2. Be smart about storage.
Built-ins near a walk-out entry have room for coats and boots. Positioned to hug the stairway, they save space.
3. Layer on lighting.
Traditional wall sconces add charm in a basement, where can lights usually prevail. Here, a warm bronze finish and white shade complement the surrounding woodwork.
4. Build a better stair.
The first-floor door was removed to let sunlight spill downstairs. A handsome handrail and newel post were finished to match the built-ins.
5. Channel natural light.
Take every opportunity to brighten up closed-off rooms. A reeded-glass light on the bathroom door fosters an airy feeling inside but still permits privacy.
You don't need an oversized sectional to create a comfy place to curl up.
1. Put a fireplace front and center.
A direct-vent gas unit lets you avoid lugging firewood downstairs.
2. Make hopper windows less basement-like.
Built-in cabinets beneath them act as a visual anchor, making their high placement seem just right. And they gain substance and polish from crisp trim, deep sills, and bronze latch closures.
3. Use furnishings to set the tone.
A leather chair and colorful textured accessories warm up a light, airy space.
Tip: Make sure temps stay toasty.
A chilly basement will chase people away faster than you can say "brrrr." Give it a separate thermostat, and put supply registers near the floor, not the ceiling. If you need supplemental heat, try electric baseboards or radiant mats.
Make a narrow room (like this one, only 7½ feet wide) feel snug, not suffocating.
1. Build a spot for the bed.
Instead of aligning the full-size bed with the room's long axis, it was turned 90 degrees and tucked below the window for a perfect fit.
2. Keep storage compact.
The bookshelf doubles as a headboard and nightstand; deep drawers hold clean linens and give guests room to unpack.
3. Continue details from adjacent spaces.
Here, the wainscot ties the sleeping nook in with the rest of the rooms.
4. Layer rugs for warmth.
An area rug laid on top of rugged wall-to-wall carpet adds welcome texture and softness underfoot.
5. Add wall fixtures.
A swing-arm reading lamp saves space and directs light right where it's needed; sconces flanking the high window draw the eye upward.
A few simple guidelines will make it functional and eye-catching.
1. Go for light-reflecting finishes.
We love this can't-fail combo of traditional white fixtures, a painted medicine cabinet, and shiny chrome hardware with porcelain accents.
2. Don't risk an overflow.
Have a plumber install a backflow-prevention valve on your main drain line to prevent backups into below-grade sinks or tubs.
3. Get rid of humid air.
Extra moisture is the last thing a basement needs. Add a humidistat to your bath's exhaust fan that will automatically turn it on when the air's too damp.
4. Minimize pipe runs.
Here, the sink, tub, and toilet share the same wall, which simplifies plumbing installation and keeps costs down.
5. Handle wastewater properly.
A full, below-grade bath needs a sewage ejector system with a tank and pump. For a half bath, consider a macerating toilet, whose compact tank can handle the sink and john.
Functional spaces need not be fancy, but they shouldn't be an afterthought.
1. For a small entry area, skip the coat closet.
Wall hooks and a bench get the job done without eating up much floor space.
2. Opt for easy-care, durable flooring.
Large-format tile has fewer grout lines, and a dark color disguises dirt.
3. Use stackables for a compact laundry.
Double-decker machines have a small footprint, leaving room for a sink area with open shelving, where you can treat stains and store cleaning supplies.
1. A rechargeable portable light, stored in an easy-to-find spot, in case of a power outage.
Oxo Candela Glow rechargeable lights, $40 for a set of two.
2. A cell-phone signal booster so that you can take and make calls below grade.
Wi-Ex zBoost SOHO, $190; Amazon
3. A wireless-network extender so that you can tote
your laptop downstairs.
Netgear Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender, $80; Best Buy
4. A wet/dry hand vacuum in case of small spills or washing-machine snafus.
Hoover Wet/Dry Cordless Hand Vacuum, $30; Walmart

Atletico Mineiro's alarming dip in Campeonato Brasileiro form continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Portuguesa.
It could have been worse for Atletico as they fell beind to Leo Silva's opener six minutes into the second half, but Bernard struck after 66 minutes and they held on for a point after Leonardo Silva was sent off three minutes later.
The point left Atletico, who have drawn two and lost two of their last four games to surrender top spot, three points behind leaders Fluminense having played a game more.
Vasco da Gama came from behind to claim a 3-1 win over Figueirense.
Caio put the visitors ahead after 13 minutes, but Luan ensured the teams were level at the break with a goal in the 34th minute.
And second-half strikes from Carlos Tenorio and Juninho completed the turnaround.
Kieza netted both goals as Nautico Recife beat Atletico Goianiense 2-0, Hernan Barcos bagged a brace in Palmeiras' 3-0 win over Ponte Preta, with Marcos Assuncao grabbing the third, while Cruzeiro and Internacional drew 0-0.

Police appealed to criminals yesterday to help them to catch a man who dragged a 90-year-old woman off the street and raped her.
The woman — who is white and was wearing a floral print dress with a cardigan — was walking to her local butcher's shop in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, early on Tuesday morning when she was attacked.
She felt a hand go over her mouth and she was dragged backwards. She fell unconscious but realised when she recovered that she had been raped and immediately sought help.
"This kind of attack is thankfully so rare that it will naturally cause
