Josh Marshall is a reporter for NBC25. He studied Broadcast Journalism at West Virginia University.
SAGINAW -- NBC 25 has learned 19 year-old Darius Gates and Albert Franklin may have been holding hostages for ransom. When police arrived at the complex, more than two hundred opeople were standing around thirty six shell casings, and Gates' body. Gates' family is calling for an end to violence
"Darius was a good hearted person regardless of what people may have thought. That man had a heart that nobody knew. He left behind his children and this has got to stop they have to put an end to this," said Amber Morris.
Franklin was shot in the shoulder and is being held in police custody. Police say they're keeping him away from any possible retaliation.
"All it is, is retaliation it's never going to stop," said Shaniqua Brown.
Retaliation for what NBC 25 has learned were men coming to get their friend after they received a phone call demanding money. Those closest to Gates are leaving gifts and notes.
"We lost a brother and also had a brother get shot on his birthday so that's why this violence needs to stop," said a friend of Gates.
The Saginaw Police Department is investigating the shooting. Detective Sergeant Joseph Dutoi said, "that's a complex that houses many young families, and many young single mothers and a lot of children."

Deliveries during the third quarter of 2012 amounted to 2,137 buses, compared with 2,954 the same period last year, down 28%. Order intake in the third quarter of 2012 amounted to 2,267 buses compared with 2,580 in the same period last year. In the third quarter, net sales decreased by 16% to SEK 4,256 M (5,043).
This October, the Buslines Group takes delivery of the 1,000th Volvo B7R in Australia. With over 100 deliveries in the past twelve months, this popular chassis has enjoyed continuing success within the school and charter market since its first delivery in 1998.
Volvo Buses has received an order for 29 hybrid buses from bus operator Keolis in Göteborg, Sweden. The fuel consumption and climate footprint of the new hybrid buses are almost 40 percent lower than for conventional diesel buses.
Following weak market developments and tough competition in Europe, Volvo Buses is now planning to concentrate its European production of complete buses in the company's main plant in Wroclaw, Poland.
Environmentally optimised, economical and highly efficient. Volvo Buses is now launching an all-new series of right-sized engines that meet the new Euro 6 requirements. "In general Euro 6 means higher fuel consumption, but thanks to engines with lower weight, smart new alternators and electrification of various components, we've been able to improve fuel efficiency in virtually all our bus models," says Johnny Lidman, Product Manager City buses, Europe, at Volvo Buses.
Volvo Buses is now focusing firmly on hybrid buses for city traffic in Europe. As of 2014 Volvo will only offer its complete, low-floor city buses as hybrids on the European market. Volvo is also expanding its hybrid model range with an articulated bus.
Volvo Buses continues to go from strength to strength with its hybrid buses. So far, more than 800 have been sold and with the latest, extremely fuel-efficient Volvo 7900 Hybrid version, interest has reached new heights. This autumn, several new products will be unveiled that further contribute to customer productivity.
Seats that are more comfortable, weigh less and boost the operator's productivity. This is what Volvo Buses is launching in autumn 2012 in its Volvo 9500, 9700 and 9900 tourist coaches and Volvo 8900 intercity bus.
Volvo Buses announces a new double-deck city bus for the UK and Irish markets. The new B5TL is equipped with a new, fuel efficient high performing Euro 6 engine which offers substantial fuel, weight and life cycle cost reductions compared to the current product, the popular Volvo B9TL.
Volvo Buses' new Web-based tool – Volvo Bus Telematics – gives bus operators better control over their vehicles' fuel consumption and allows them to tailor maintenance to meet individual needs. These are measures that can deliver fuel savings of about 10 percent. The hardware is fitted as standard in Volvo's hybrid bus.

-- can't own with dog and -- buzz good morning NT guys.
Let's talk about this birther issue a little bit more because governor Romney is.
It in some senses and anyway some fun and saying he really is having to be on the defensive so.
And us -- what do you think he needs to be doing in order to distance himself or is that even necessary because a lot of those birthers.
Do you support governor Romney.
I don't really think he's gonna have to say more than he's RD sat here if you look at Donald Trump.
He knows how to manipulate the media he knows how to get headlines he knows how to push soundbites out there that I have him.
His name in the evening news is I think that's what we've seen him do the past couple days is just really work -- so he can keep his name out there and lights.
I think it's a side issue that I think most people move along.
Probably in the next day.
-- I just didn't you know I just don't I mean take a messier I was a very Smart Republican strategists why wouldn't Mitt Romney.
Hold an event with someone who you know is gonna go out on TV -- question the president's birthplace and -- and an Internet rumor that has been debunked.
The day you're gonna win and win the Republican nomination I just don't get it I think that we've seen these missteps along the way by the Romney campaign.
And I don't think it is gonna go away because Mitt Romney.
-- his chief surrogate seems to be.
Donald Trump right now he's -- -- he goes around with them.
-- pretty frequently he relies on his advice.
Donald Trump does robo calls forum he does fund raisers so I don't think it is gonna go away and I think Mitt Romney really need to take a stronger stance on this issue then yes.
NIC you know hey there is a bit of truth and into what Doug is saying in that you know yesterday was a pretty important day for governor Romney and -- did he decide to spend his -- Well I think what's about bigger question here is where did he decide to spend his time.
He was in Nevada Nevada is going to be a swing state this election is going to be critical to -- the next president United States has.
And you know Barack Obama when he was early in his administration he -- -- mocks people going to Las Vegas and I think of the people in the citizens in the voters of Nevada remember that.
And that's why Mitt Romney was there yesterday as he clinched the Republican nomination now.
I think we can -- -- on here and try to predict what Donald Trump's gonna do next but none of us know that so who knows where is going to be tomorrow but I think.
The strategic play was to be in Nevada.
And that's the problem now that the problem for the Romney campaigns is is that trump is so unpredictable and now being so closely tied to him.
They own whatever he sets and that's their fault.
I might have on to another topic -- -- -- we've talked quite a bit about this.
I wanna talk a little bit about that -- governor Mitt Romney getting that GOP nomination this is this is a benchmark in history for the Mormon faith and we really aren't hearing a whole lot about it some pundits saying -- that's exactly what that church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints wants and it's exactly what the governor wants.
Why -- why is this that what we're starting to see play out and us.
I think you know the Romney campaign wants to make this election about the economy and the future of America -- a a bigger personal religious conversation.
You know if you look back the past couple of years -- been a great time to be an American we had Hillary Clinton who was almost the first you know female nominee had the first African American president.
They have the first Bob Mormon religious group getting the nomination for the Republican Party you know I think it really says a lot about our country.
As to where we look for leadership in different parts in different background.
It's and it what do you make of this debt because a spokesperson for the -- said the church is neutrality and political campaigning as well established.
And we won't be making any statement today is this a Smart move the church to be doing this -- Why would support what.
Amos that I you know look -- is the fact that you know pay a Mormon candidate can become the nominee and we have an African American president Hillary Clinton was.
Couple votes away from being the democratic nominee -- Sarah Palin shows just how great this country is.
And and and I think we should never forget that I as far as the church -- -- I don't really understand their politics.
All that much but I do understand that they like to fly a little bit below the radar because -- there is a portion of this country that.
Has some misgivings about the Mormon religion and and yeah that's unfortunate but I think the day you would probably not want to shine a spotlight on them and -- kind of you know the spotlight shine on Mitt Romney who during this moment when you you know accumulates enough delegates to be the nominee.
Yeah some would say to that it doesn't matter what your sex isn't what's your sexual orientation is what your religion is.
Are what your racing is just matters that it is your record and of course that's one thing.
-- that that Mitt Romney is really -- -- be hammering home is is you know.
The jobless numbers and and everything else the presence tracker.
Absolutely I think I think -- I think we can figure this out -- we should have is the church is PR team called Donald Trump's PR team and they should all get on the same page.
Everybody fly below the radar certainly have a serious debate about jobs -- the economy I think we just solved it this morning he picked it depend.
That -- be a wise move for the Romney campaign to look at.
But let's move on to Syria.
Just a real tragedy over the weekend with about a hundred civilians many of them children.
Dying -- and it's really though bride foreign policy to the forefront.
Once again and given governor Romney an opportunity today it says say that President Obama this week.
What do you what do you make about of all this Amos and Andy think that this is something that's going to be -- Errors everybody just really thinking about the economy right now.
Well I think if you -- look at what happened in Syria this was a tragedy -- there were young children taken out and murdered one by one by the government.
This is not a partisan issue this is more about society as a whole if we're gonna stand on the sideline and just watch this happen so I think.
You're the person who has an opportunity to act right now is the person is sitting in the Oval Office and that's Barack Obama so it would be great.
-- our country I think the international community to hear some real leadership and some steps that the US could take that NATO could take that the UN could take.
Two to solve this situation because this shouldn't happen on our watch.
And governor Romney bashing President Obama saying.
Bellamy have this -- quoted a policy of paralysis -- Syria which is -- president Bashar Al -- to slaughtered 101000.
Individuals how do you expect the Obama campaign to be lashing back.
I mean Mitt Romney at every opportunity tries to you know.
You know it to.
-- -- to give tough tough talk.
But with no real coherent strategy.
His idea his plan on Iraq is basically for us to stay there he gets an incoherent planned for.
Afghanistan and on Syria he didn't lay out any ideas he doesn't he hasn't said whether or not he supports airstrikes as John McCain.
And Lindsay Graham do he hasn't said whether or not he would support arming the opposition.
He just use this as a political opportunity go out there and and give tough talk but we've seen over the course of his.
Career that he's been wrong on so many different foreign policy and national security issues and it's because.
He has some he has as far as Republican nominee is go he is the -- he has the fewest amount of experience.
That we've seen in years he has no foreign policy experience he didn't serve in the military -- has no national security experience.
And that's all -- I think you know we have a debate about foreign policy that's gonna become very very obvious.
As we look toward the general election Amos what do you think this is is gonna mean -- that Romney campaign I mean.
If he is viewed as as weak by some.
And that area -- to -- need to be surrounded himself wet mainly for the vice presidential.
Talk to note sure what what.
I think we've seen him in the past few days he's been he didn't event with Senator McCain and not -- senator Lindsey Graham as it is Doug alluded to.
But this is really not about Mitt Romney is a candidate what he would do on foreign policy this is a situation.
That's happening right now that the international community is looking for leadership.
In the United States is not leaving and that starts at this top and that starts with President Obama where is he on this and why are we following.
When England and what the rest of the countries there are proposing that we did this is a real crisis.
And something that should be focused on immediately.
Well it does defense -- -- I -- you're doing exactly like what he said that that governor Romney was doing just taking this is an opportunity.
Acted to bash the president but not having a clear cut plan laid out does he needs it to have something.
Well I -- -- a table with something.
Sure I think you will see that I mean he just got the general nomination locked up last night.
We have a long time between now November for him to really introduced.
Who he is who is foreign policy team would be who is -- close -- advisors are -- the vice president's going to be there's time for him to do this but this is not.
Campaign issue you should look at present Obama's in the White House that has the opportunity to act right now and to leave and that's just not happening.
Mitt Romney made it a campaign issue when he took that cheap shot yesterday.
He's been running for president for six years I would think he would have had he did you would have formed a foreign policy national security approach by now.
And he is actually surrounding himself by a lot of the same people.
Who back George Bush and his policies to invade Iraq.
And and and and and Afghanistan so I think that we've got to know who the people are they're pretty much the neo cons who were backing George Bush.
-- -- -- Sure I think what we're really seeing right now.
With this foreign policy issue with the whole circus it's happening with that the Cory Booker in the Donald -- of the world.
I think what we're really seeing is a bigger narrative outline from now through November.
And I think that narrative is going to be experiencing creating jobs vs someone who's lost jobs for the past three and a half years.
Guys think -- so much for your time.

Welles, Orson. "Orson Welles on Citizen Kane and Rosebud." Interview with Bernard Braeden. Canadian Broadcasting Company. Canada. 1960. <http://www.youtub.com/watch?v=ml3eBTMXSiU> 11 Nov. 2008.
This 1960 interview of Welles by Bernard Braeden on behalf of the Canadian Broadcasting Company was conducted in Welles' Paris home. The interview as a whole is focused on Citizen Kane and Welles' thoughts about the film almost 20 years after it's release, but a significant portion is concerned more specifically with Welles' conception of 'Rosebud.' In the tagged clip, at the two minute mark, Welles states that he is "ashamed of Rosebud," that it is a "tawdry device" and a "dollar-book Freudian gag." He calls it the thing he likes least about all of the film.
This interview is striking evidence of Welles ever changing explanation of 'Rosebud.' In this interview, he contradicts statements he had previously published about it's meaning. This shift follows a shift in the type of criticism the film was receiving. Initially, viewers were left confused by the vagueness of the symbol, so Welles provided a concrete explanation (4). Here, conversely, Welles is responding to the critique that the use of the symbol 'Rosebud' is a hinderance to the creation of a complete portrait of Kane. In response, Welles is rejecting the concept as forcefully as possible. His criticism, in fact, seems to be a direct response to the explanation he published in 1941 about his purpose in making Citizen Kane. In his 1941 statement, he uses psychological concepts of transference and attachment to explain 'Rosebud,' whereas he calls it a "dollar book Freudian gag" in this interview. This is strong support for the idea that because 'Rosebud' carries no meaning separate from the theme of the film, Welles' explanations for the symbol come in response to outside pressures.

Military Terror Hits US Cities As Veterans Banned From Owning Gun

The weekly Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) report on current-growing trends in the United States warns that US military forces have begun acclimating their citizens to open warfare striking terror into these otherwise normal peoples lives, while at the same time the Obama regime has banned nearly 500,000 American veterans from owning guns.
According to this report, during the past week residents of Houston, Texas were terrorized when US Army helicopters and massive gunfire shattered their calm existence, and as described by Isaac Robertson Jr. who in talking to local reporters about a call he received from his wife stated, "She told me 'don't come home it sounds like we're in a war zone. Guns, shooting, helicopters flying around the house."
Likewise, this report continues, Miami, Florida residents were shocked this past week when "diving Blackhawk's, blank rounds of machine gun fire, strafing runs, troops rappelling from choppers, and road blockades" destroyed the calm in their city like the US military had done to those living in Houston.
The popular American dissident website, Infowars.com, in their reporting on these unprecedented "shock drills" state that "Military "exercises" in populated urban environments are now so routine, so commonplace, they are no longer reported by the national media and are left as "human interest" stories for local news stations."
One aptly astute commentary on these US military "shock drills" further states, "Thisis becoming painfully clear due to the fact that the military trains for whatthey think they're going to do. If they are planning to fight in the desert,they would train in the desert and obviously if they are going to be fightingin a metropolitan setting in the United States, they would train in an Americancity. Unfortunately, this is exactly what we are witnessing: increasing amountof training in urban American environments."

The Future of Women's Studies
Kent State Stark Women's Studies
The future possibilities of WMST@KSU
The future of WMST @KSU – hmmm.
Now that's something to ponder next time
you're stuck in traffic, waiting in line at our too-tiny Starbucks,
or just feel like dreaming a noble dream.
be the future of Women's Studies at Kent State University?
How do we grow from here and now—and from where we started, where we've been?
Can we? Will we? Do we need to turn off, unplug ... and "re-set�
We started last year ... and we'll continue into the next ...
collecting YOUR ideas on this - friends, colleagues, minors and passers-through our program.
So, please join us (in spirit at least) as we:
the nature of our program, its relationship to the University—
to its colleges, schools, depts. and other programs. Its relationship to our region and beyond,
to 'the time' in which we find ourselves.
what Student goals/purposes might our program answer? Academic inquiry, experience,
career preparation - these we know. What others?
How do we align the goals&purposes of
Womens Studies
with those of our faculty affiliates? ... with
those of Kent State University as it's evolving?
Review and revise
our Courses—ample&right courses at the core, improvements to existing courses,
solicitation/support for new ones (e.g., wmst-legacy, the historical and philosophical bases;
meaningful quests into cultures of difference—the sense of what is or might be uniquely ...
OUR … literature, film, art, music, pioneers, roots, etc.); curricular expansion for breadth,
offering inclusive&meaningful options/concentrations to today's students
: What's missing in the program? like, for instance, skill sets for girls/women—
finances, politics, negotiation/conflict, incisive analysis of "choice" in the
personal and/or private sphere, etc. - exposure/comfort with S.T.E.M. terrain.
Ask&answer honestly: What's undone? What's done merely habitually, lazily?
What's working for and against our finest future?
: Interconnectedness and give-take … across disciplines and between disciplines—across and between KSU campuses.
Finding ways&means to further our program's quest for salience, relevance and action potential ---
and to "real"-ize the energies of our interdisciplinary base in exchanges/collaboration
Communication, Support for new and existing Faculty –
enhance incentives to create, maintain courses, workshops
: Next steps towards Enriching Online and other tech-rich options –
perhaps including options-to-conference to/from regional programs,

problem-solving and application—roundtables, shared themes/collaborative events/open
classrooms, filmfests, bookreadings, salons, panels, etc.
Revisit how we might see ourselves—as a Program
(the who are we/what are we—what's our name? our identity?)

Revenues down, profits up at Stamford Tyres
Singapore-based Stamford Tyres has posted a S$4.85 million (£2.36 million) profit in the second quarter of its current financial year, a marked contrast to the $2.97 million loss reported a year earlier. Revenue for the three months to 31 October 2013 amounted to $71.5 million (£34.8 million), down 12.1 per cent year-on-year. The company says the lower revenues are mainly attributable to weaker export sales of Sumo Firenza tyres and mining tyres.

The voluptuous Latina, heretofore best known for dancing on national television in pink underpants and getting royally dumped by Dr. George O'Malley on the hit show Grey's Anatomy, has jumped from No. 80 to No. 9 on AfterEllen.com's Hot 100 list—the biggest leap of any star this year. The Hot 100 list is compiled by votes of more than 100,000 gay and bisexual women around the world.

Recipe by JMCCREAR
"This dish makes a hearty autumn or winter meal with its unique combination of ingredients. What a delicious vegetarian dish!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup red lentils
1 cup brown lentils
8 cups water
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large onion, diced
2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups peeled, cubed (1-inch), seeded pumpkin
2 potatoes, unpeeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 cups packed fresh spinach, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled, cored and diced
Fantastic, I think if I made it exactly per instructions it would be *****+! I had lots of fresh pumpkin and was able to make this from mostly what I had in my cabinets and fridge--didn't have some of the ingredients but substituted courgette for the carrot, cinnamon for the cloves, and I didn't have curry powder (I upped the cumin). I cut down on the time needed by baking the pumpkin, pre-cooking the potatoes, using tinned lentils, using canned tomatoes instead of fresh, and frozen, thawed and drained spinach. Next time I'll be sure to have all of the correct ingredients. This is great with brown rice. Thanks for such a great recipe!
I like the idea of this, but it was way too much lentil in proportion to the rest of the ingredients. As a result, it was very bland and not at all pumpkiny. After tasting it, I added more spices (doubling them) and a bit of coconut milk, and still it was disappointing. I'd suggest using, at most, half the amount of lentils—maybe even less—and increasing the pumpkin.
56 Ratings
delicious, but with made some adjustments to this recipe: i doubled the amount of curry powder and apple, and increased the spinach, carrot, and onion. I did not add the cooked lentils when i added the pumpkin etc as i think this would make it too mushy. instead, i added it with the apple and spinach step.
Fantastic!This coming from a person who cooks lentils every day without fail! I had no idea one cud put all this in lentils:)) and it wud taste so good! And yes, I saute'd the onions, garlic and tomatoes in the pressure cooker, added the rest of the stuff (less water) and two whistles! I was done in 20 minutes:)
This was a departure from my usual lentils, for me. I liked it a lot! My kids loved it too! I subbed spinach with kale, and a butternut squash for the pumpkin because that's what I had on hand. It will definitely get made again on our house. It is a great recipe to fiddle with for your own needs(like what's in the fridge), but also good the way it's written. The only major change I made was to add the cooked lentils in with the kale and apple, because I like my lentils to have a good texture still, but a very good recipe. Thank you!
I used sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin - and it worked perfectly. The flavors worked very well together. I wish I had read the reviews ahead of time and used more turmeric in the lentils - because they were a bit bland. But adding a bit of salt helped. Oh, and this dish just got better and better after a few days in the refrigerator!
I used butternut squash instead of pumpkin - but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. It was a very thick chunky stew and tasted good. The apple chunks were really great - I think next time I'll add some more apples. Maybe replace some potatoes with apples? Also I think a splash of cream or coconut milk would really help this soup go from good to great.
Delicious! It did take quite a bit longer to prepare the dish than I expected, but I work slowly. It was well worth the time in the end and the left-overs are great, too.

Baby Veronica case to be considered by highest court
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of a James Island couple seeking to overturn a ruling that returned their adopted daughter to her biological father under the federal Indian Child Welfare Act.
The case involving 3-year-old Veronica is one of three the high court chose to take up after meeting in conference Friday to review some 30 petitions for hearings, according to the Supreme Court of the United States blog.
An attorney for Matt and Melanie Capobianco filed their 142-page petition with the high court in October, arguing that the justices should accept the case to settle uncertainty over how the 1978 act should be interpreted.
Through a family spokeswoman, the Capobiancos said, "We are so incredibly excited that the U.S. Supreme Court has accepted our case. We have a renewed sense of faith in our legal system and a renewed sense of hope that Veronica will be able to come home."
Mark Fiddler, a Minnesota lawyer working on the Capobiancos' behalf, called the court's decision significant and said his clients are thrilled to continue their quest to get Veronica back.
Charleston lawyer Shannon Jones, who represents Veronica's biological father, Dusten Brown, said her client and his family were disappointed to learn that the case was going forward. But they take heart in knowing that Brown's custody of Veronica has been upheld by every court so far, she said.
"We are confident the U.S. Supreme Court will come to the same conclusion," Jones said.
Jones said the high court hearing could take place as soon as April.
The Capobiancos have not seen Veronica since a family court ruling relinquished the girl to her father on New Year's Eve of 2011.
The S.C. Supreme Court in July upheld Veronica's return to her biological father in Oklahoma. Her father, a member of the Cherokee Nation, successfully challenged the adoption using the Indian Child Welfare Act, a federal law aimed at preserving American Indian families.
The federal law has been reviewed only once at the highest level. In 1989, Justice William Brennan sided with Mississippi's Choctaw tribe, which challenged an adoption of twins.
"At issue in the (Veronica) case is the definition of 'parent' under the federal law, including whether that includes an unwed father who only belatedly claimed parental rights," the Supreme Court blog stated.
Cherokee Nation Attorney General Todd Hembree released a statement Friday night expressing surprise that the court decided to hear this case.
"The South Carolina Supreme Court completely addressed all aspects of the Indian Child Welfare Act, and we believe their decision was correct," Hembree said. "This is a matter that is of utmost importance to all of Indian Country. Our children are our future, and the Cherokee Nation stands ready to defend the rights of Native American children to be raised in Native American homes."
Before Veronica was born in September 2009 in Oklahoma, her biological parents canceled their engagement and went separate ways. The Capobiancos met Veronica's mother through an adoption agency and adopted the baby at birth.
Brown sought custody of the girl after learning of the adoption in January 2010.
Though Brown did not support the girl's mother during pregnancy, his rights as a parent should not be stripped, the S.C. Supreme Court confirmed in its July ruling.
Since her return to Oklahoma, Veronica has been given the name "Little Star" by the Cherokee and has attended stomp dances and other Native American rituals with her father and others to introduce her to her culture, Jones said.
Brown recently married, and Veronica is in a new home where she is thriving, she said.

The roll-off container is gone from Mikado Drive. The landlords and Bestway have settled their dispute and the container was picked up Wednesday afternoon.
Landlord Don Houger says he agreed to pay half the $361 tab because he added to the roll-off container load with trash he hauled out of the house.
Houger said the tenant ruined carpets, punched holes in walls, left rotting food in the refrigerator and caused considerable damage in the house before she left.
"Bestway was real nice about it," Houger said. "We got it all settled. It's all taken care of."
Now he said it's time to get to work repairing the damage.
The folks at Bestway Disposal seemingly lost their minds for a moment last week.
They had delivered a roll-off container to a house in Rockrimmon on Mikado Drive and the woman customer loaded it with garbage, tires, furniture and other trash.
She paid with a bad check and left in the middle of the night. Classy.
Bestway wanted its money and went after the landlords, Don and Jean Houger, for payment of the deadbeat tenant's debt. They declined to pay so Bestway took its container and left.
Problem is, they left the trash in the driveway.
A nice, big, stinking, leaking nasty pile of garbage.
Imagine how the neighbors felt when they saw the mess, knowing their children would be coming home from school and the abundant wildlife in the Rockrimmon neighborhood would be coming out at night to investigate.
Here's a look at the neighborhood from www.FlashEarth.com:
Bestway's Phil Kiemel said the company had no choice but to dump and run.
"We did the logical thing," Kiemel said.
Too bad Ken Lewis, code enforcement administrator for Colorado Springs, didn't agree with Kiemel's logic. He said what Bestway did was a crime punished by a $500 fine and 90 days in jail.
Before the day was over, Bestway had a crew of five, a new roll-off container and a truck on the scene, cleaning up the mess.
In these photos, supplied by Bestway, crews clean the driveway before replacing the roll-off container and the trash.
Sounds like a happy ending, right? Not yet.
The neighbors are stuck looking at the roll-off container which now is full of trash because the Hougers have filled it with garbage they hauled out of their rental house.
The Hougers agree they should pay part of the bill, since they added to its load. But they are balking at paying the full bill saying they aren't responsible for the tenant's debts.
Meanwhile, neighbors live with the mess. And they say it's an example of the dangers of having rental properties in the neighborhood. They doubt the Hougers — who have numerous rental properties in the city — would stand for the mess if they had to live with it.

Told documentary style, The Devil Inside features some chills and scares, but the exorcism-based film isn't all that compelling. Despite this, the movie had a blockbuster opening during its first week in theaters before steeply declining.
Home Theater Forum's Neil Middlemiss reviewed the Blu-ray release and had these thoughts:
The look of this film is a product of the locations and lighting chosen where, for the most part, it appears natural light was used as primary source.
Dialogue is heavily focused in the center channel and, without issues to speak of; the audio is as to be expected.

My apologies for writing in English, but if you knew what my 11th grade Latin teacher told me about my language skills, you would understand. ;-)
I am relatively new in this forum and hope that posting information about my book does not violate any rules. Hopefully you will appreciate hearing about my book. I also want to express my appreciation for the many readers in Germany who have already purchased my book.
If you have written a Thriller in America or the UK, please join me in describing your novel.
My science fiction thriller involves the joint operation of the most elite forces of all U.S. military branches. Readers of military-based science fiction will hopefully enjoy the action in this novel. Some recent comments in Amazon US (http://amzn.to/Falling-Star) include:
"If you are into the non-fantasy type scifi and a Tom Clancey like plot, this is the book for you. It is not a cookie cutter style book. It takes the Roswell conspiracy story to a new level."
"This is a great book! I wish the author had more to download for my Kindle."
"...this is one of those stories that are unforgettable."
"A good gem here, another excellent example of the power of alternative publishing tracks."
"Some of the science/naval aspects, combined with the Cold War setting, reminded me of the best of classic Tom Clancy, but it quickly becomes clear that is not simply a Russian submarine lurking under the water."
"The interwoven storyline with scientific and historical facts kept blending perfectly into a thriller that was hard for me to remember wasn't real."
"Chen's incredible knowledge of things military and technical keeps everything in the book credible."
"The story skillfully combines cold-war military espionage, underwater navel research, and UFOs."
"His wealth of knowledge of the military, weaponry, computer systems and ocean submersibles is impressive."
This very realistic science fiction thriller is about the accidental discovery in 1967 of mysterious, but mute, objects buried deep in the ocean. In 1993, they woke up and started sending signals to deep space. Mike, pulled out of his opulent office high above Wall Street to finish a job he started as a young ensign over twenty years ago, is attacked by gangs of what look like ordinary Americans. On top of all this, he learns that a revered friend has died. Will the death of Mike's friend mean that the secret of the objects will remain forever buried on the deep ocean floor?
This novel is so realistic that it often leaves readers wondering, "if this story might not be fiction at all, but something very real and very disturbing." Noted U.S. book critic Alan Caruba says, "If you read just one novel in 2011, make it Falling Star."
Only one man can save the planet, but he just died.
44 Five or Four Star reviews on Amazon US and UK. 98,250+ words. 354 pages. Still only EUR 0,99 for the Kindle edition

text: Home Culture Bryant Gumbel Stands With NBA Millionaires The Bottom Line: Hoops slavery, music's new royalties cop, Detroit's mayor exults over jobs and more. By: Frank McCoy Posted: Oct. 25 2011 12:11 AM 0 Getty Images Bryant Gumbel Says NBA Commissioner Treats Players Like Slaves On his recent HBO's Real Sports broadcast, Bryant Gumbel said that NBA Commissioner David Stern, who has been going one-on-one with the NBA Players Association over a new collective bargaining agreement for months, continually used tactics that were demeaning to the athletes. "[Stern] has always seemed eager to be viewed as some kind of modern plantation overseer, treating NBA men as if they were his boys. It's part of Stern's M.O., like his past self-serving edicts on dress code and the questioning of officials. His moves were intended to do little more than show how he's the one keeping the hired hands in their place," said Gumbel. The television host has every right to stand up for millionaires working for billionaires, but he should remember that slaves received no salary, saw family members sold off and were whipped. NBA players should be offended by Stern's tactics, but they are definitely not wage slaves. ELC Salutes Top Corporate Execs Ursula Burns, CEO of Xerox; Hazel O'Leary, president of Fisk University; and Price WaterhouseCoopers International were honored last week at the annual gala of the Executive Leadership Council, the organization of top-ranked African Americans in corporate life. Some 2,200 senior executives at corporations and other institutions attended the ELC's 25th Annual Recognition Gala, a black-tie event last Thursday outside Washington, D.C. Hosted by Deborah Roberts and Al Roker, the event was held at the Gaylord National Hotel in National Harbor, Md. The ELC is an elite membership organization for senior black business leaders. The organization reports that senior executives at 380 Fortune 500 companies belong to the ELC and that the average member has 27 years of experience and oversight for $4 billion to $6 billion.

Glad I´m old and have all my "stuff" already bought. The biggest losers in a VAT tax are the same ones who would lose in any other type of national sales tax. The young, and dumb, Zerobama voters.They are the ones whose major purchases, furniture, appliances, cars, etc. are still ahead of them, at additional cost of 20% or more, I might add. You asked for it and now you may well get it.It will hurt us older folks, too, but not nearly as much. Can´t stop laughing!
Watch the surprise on the collective face of the LIV Obama supporters:"What? Now there´s a this new tax AND we still have income taxes to pay?"
I´m less worried about adopting a VAT than about adding such a tax to the existing tax structure, which is what Washington (esp. the Democrats) are certain to attempt to do.
#2, the problem is that the VAT is an invisible tax, which even high-information voters will not be able to track easily.
It had damned well better not be inevitable.
Tax and spend liberals. Nothing has changed. We tried to tell you that. Rich people´s money can only go so far and there is not enough of it. Even if they took all of it. They have to get it from someone. Suckers.
We already have a VAT tax. Yep! Invisible it is. It´s the corporate income tax. Corporations include the tax in the price of their products and this happens at all levels of the supply chain. Ergo, a VAT.Remember, corporations don´t pay taxes, they collect them from customers.
As always, they do the most damage to those they claim to help. The smarter ones really must just sit and laugh sometimes.
Wow! Who in a thousand years would have guessed that spending has consequences? The big questions is will they increase the value of welfare payouts and food stamps so the recipients can still buy their usual amount of booze, smokes, slap dances and gambling without any decrease in the current consumption?
Anyone that has not seen this coming hasn´t been paying attention.That would be over half of this dumbed down nation.Obama has spent so wildly, that now a VAT tax is now the only solution.His plan from the start.By the time he´s gone this once great country will be CEMENTED IN SUB-PAR MEDIOCRITY FOREVER.Again, his plan.
With a VAT, the federal government is creating something that acts like a sales tax. We already have sales taxes as high as 10%$ in some localities.
As the defendant said to the judge asking him why he robbed banks - "Because thats where the money is". No matter how much they talk about getting the filthy rich "to pay their fair share", the ´Rats know that ultimately they have to go for the middle class - because that is where the money is. Its simple income transfer from those who earned it to those who did not. The rest is all smoke and mirrors.
Not unless the House caves.
And don´t forget the Streamlined Sales Tax (Wikipedia and search the term for the SST site) which will require online vendors in one State to collect sales tax for the purchaser´s State. The National Governors Association has been hot to get this through for over a decade. The software has long since been there, with its developers drooling.So we may get clobbered with State and VAT US National taxes all at once. Put a little slavery in your life.
VAT would most likely be in addition to state & local sales taxes. If in place of, states and cities would be harmed, meaning higher income & property taxes. If, as most likely, in addition to, a VAT would make us still poorer as prices rise by 5% to 15% to cover cost of VAT while wages are frozen to falling.
The costs to us would be astronomical!Loggers cut logs, which are then taxed. They go to the mill and are cut into lumber, which is taxed again..lumber goes to the pencil factory, and the pencils made are then taxed, then the pencils are sold and are again taxed.. You get the message. Every step of production is taxed.
Wasn´t the idea of a VAT floated when PIAPS was the duo-POTUS? Also she had the idea of taxing homeowners on the income they make by renting their homes to themselves. Not sure of how the gov´t would determine the fair marked value....
Our 23 year old daughter lives and works in Canada,and is a big government liberal.But when she comes home on a visit, she does lots of shopping, noting that cosmetics and such cost about 1/2 of what she would pay in toronto.(I tried to see if she could connect canadian tax rates with product cost,and she can, but shrugs it off.)So we see canadian buses full of shoppers, at the Millcreek Mall near Erie,Pa. They don´t stop in Buffalo, NY, because the sales tax on almost everyting is close to 10%, but the sales tax in Pennsylvania is not applied to clothing...
Great plan.Like slipping a few bricks into the pockets of a drowning man.
It has worked so well for Europe! /s
No, No VAT. Why enable the Demonrats to tax everything and raise the tax every other month? Do not give the Demonrat tax and spend Leftists this much power over citizens.
All -- go back and read #7!#7: Sincerest compliments from Schloss Veritas. That is a fine insight. Well done, well done.All that said, larding a conventional VAT onto the poor, sway-backed-donkey of an economy sure won´t help any, and trying to root it out later? Think Sisyphus.
Part of the liberal Democrats political taxing game is to always claim that they want to tax the rich to keep middle class taxes low. But there are not enough rich people out there to finance all the liberal Democrats social welfare programs, s after bumping up the taxes on the rich a few points, the liberal Democrats always end up raising up the taxes of the middle class, that game is played about every 20 years using the new generation of unassuming voters as bait.
From the Obama point of view, the beauty of the VAT is that it will entice low-information voters to blame the merchants and manufacturers - basically, the private sector - for the inevitable price hikes while the government skims all it likes off the top and escapes blame.You can see the dynamic already in the way car drivers blame gas stations when oil prices go up. The VAT will be the same thing.
I have been expecting a VAT for awhile. We have been replacing big items such as refrigerators, etc. so if it happens we can go for some years without big expenditures. When Carter was president, I spent. When Reagan was president, I saved. Now that Obama is president I am spending again before the money loses all value.

Time's up. Make your choices and cast your ballot. You're not quite out of time, but it's getting close. If you haven't registered to vote yet, you can still go to an early-voting site to register and cast your vote at the same time. If you're already registered, you can still vote today or Saturday, or you can join the other traditionalists and vote on Tuesday, Election Day.
Have you done your homework yet? You know: Who will get your vote, and why? Don't use that straight-party-vote box on the ballot. Think for yourself. What's important is which candidate is best suited for the job, not which party.
You can start by checking out the ballot you'll get at the polls. Just go to the State Board of Elections website - ncsbe.gov - and click on the "My Election Information" tab. Fill in your name and county and you'll get your full voting history, the location of your polling place and a sample of your ballot. If you're not sure about where some of the candidates stand, dig out last Sunday's voters' guide in the Observer Perspective section, or go to fayobserver.com and check out the Election 2012 section. Most candidates have websites as well.
So, no excuses. Study the candidates, make your choices. And vote.
