As Governor, Rick Snyder makes thousands of decision each year but there's none bigger than Detroit's bankruptcy filing. It wasn't a decision he took lightly and, in an exclusive interview with Fox 2's Tim Skubick, the governor reveals for the first time he was concerned about the possibility of civil unrest.VIDEO: Click on the video player above to watch portions of the interview with Tim Skubick or read the story below___________________"It's a historic event that I wish we never got to but we're going to get through this," A relaxed and reflective Gov. Rick Snyder will either go down in history as the man who saved Detroit or the man who made the problem worse. "I hope people view it as a solution - not a new problem," he says. As the Governor often says, as Detroit goes so goes the entire state. So his decision was not taken lightly to propel Motown into Chapter Nine. He agrees that was his toughest decision this year. Fox 2's Tim Skubick asks, "During that decision-making process, did you ever say to yourself, 'I just can't do this'? "No," Snyder replies. "Because, again, I didn't do it lightly, and, again, I tried to avoid doing it. You saw that for two years ahead of time. But again, part of the commitment I made to the people of Michigan - that includes the people of Detroit - is we can't let those problems keep going."It was a gutsy move that could have backfired and produce a greater challenge - civil unrest. Skubick asks, "Did you ever consider that pulling the bankruptcy trigger could trigger civil unrest?""I did. And that was a concern. It's still a concern," he admits. Skubick asks why. "Well, because, it's a very dramatic action. But the way I really look at it is this was the right thing to do and I really appreciate the support from a lot of citizens in Detroit," he answers. With mayor-elect Mike Duggan regaining some authority to run the city, does the Governor believe now that that diminishes the public criticism that he took democracy away from the city?"I've never viewed it as a lack of democracy. I'm an elected officials that is responsible to the citizens," he says. Skubick asks, "If the Detroit City Council loses authority isn't that a loss of democracy?" "To some degree but, again, they still have an elected official that is responsible," Snyder says. Suffice it to say as this bankruptcy saga unfolds not everybody will agree with the Governor on that.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons, the NFL's last unbeaten team, are rested and closer to full strength in their return from their bye week.
Defensive tackle Corey Peters, a starter the last two seasons, returned for limited activity Monday in his first practice this season. Peters, on the reserve injured list with a stress fracture in his left foot, will be eligible to make his season debut on Sunday at Philadelphia.
Outside linebacker Stephen Nicholas, who played only on special teams in a 23-20 win over Oakland on Oct. 14 due to an ankle injury, was back at full speed. Backup tight end Michael Palmer returned from a shoulder injury.
Coach Mike Smith normally has two practices in bye weeks. He gave players last week off.

A 13-year-old middle school student was detained for disorderly conduct on Monday after he became disruptive during class and even started throwing object around the classroom, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The incident happened about 2:30 p.m. in a classroom at Aiken Middle School.
The suspect began to get disruptive in class and was going to be escorted from the classroom, according to the report. The suspect became more disruptive and began throwing things, including furniture, in the room, according to the report.
The teacher removed the other students from the room for their safety after the suspect began throwing objects, according to the report.
The suspect told officers he was "in a bad mood" and was "upset" about being removed from the classroom, according to the report. He also said he and another student were involved in a verbal altercation that escalated the incident.

They have become a fixture in a high profile case. 17-year-old Trayvon Martin bought a pack of Skittles and an iced tea before an altercation that cost him his life.
George Zimmerman was found not guilty of his murder under Florida's stand your ground and self-defense laws.
"Regardless of what you believe the outcome should or shouldn't have been, we have the death of a child," said artist Sean Murphy.
He said the verdict inspired him to create a painting of Martin, the first he has finished in more than 25 years.
"When you're moved, you have to move," Murphy said.
However, it will take at least 50 pounds of Skittles to complete the masterpiece. That is where you come into the picture.
Murphy is calling his Martin memorial a pixel vigil. He wants people to grab a Skittle and glue it to the painting until the picture is clear. The event is scheduled to take place Saturday from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Detroit, located at 13031 Chandler Park Drive. Click here for more information.
You could also help paint a 60 foot replica of that Martin painting. The problem is Murphy does not know where he wants to put it yet, so he is asking people to geotag suitable walls around the city and put those pictures on his Facebook page.

THE MIDDLE - "The Ditch" - While waiting in line at the power company to pay a late bill and dressed in her lab coat for her new dental assisting job, people mistake Frankie for a doctor and let her cut in front of them so that she can finish her business quickly and get back to saving lives. But when one of those people shows up at Dr. Goodwin's (Jack McBrayer, "30 Rock," "Wreck It Ralph") office for a dental checkup, Frankie tries to keep up the charade, which leaves her new employer completely perplexed. Meanwhile, Axl discovers that Sue has a perfect attendance record at school and convinces her to ditch a day to live life on the edge; Dr. Fulton (Dave Foley) tries to find out why Brick is so opposed to going to middle school; and Mike and Axl's fishing trip takes a turn for the worse when a distraction causes Mike to crash the boat he's towing, wedging it into a ditch, on "The Middle," WEDNESDAY, MAY 15 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Making the Most of Our Public Spaces
John Hollar
Increasingly it seems, people stop me on the street to comment about what a great city we have. They are usually drawn to different facets of our community (although the Farmers' Market is definitely a common denominator). Other favorites include our amazing array of restaurants and bars, our unique shops, the quiet of Hubbard Park, and the simple beauty of our downtown built environment.
Of course, it's easy to see the beauty of Montpelier under a warm sun in June, rather than the dark days of February. But I believe what makes Montpelier unique, regardless of the season, is that it provides us with an abundance of interesting, safe and attractive places to interact with others, both publicly and semi-publicly.
I believe we can do more to take advantage of our unique downtown area to make it a place where people want to live, visit and work. If we can make Montpelier an even more vibrant city, it will help us attract young people, families, and entrepreneurs, as well as tourists to help support our merchants and hotels.
The City Council has established numerous goals for 2014-15 that reflect our shared commitment to increasing the vitality of our community. We're making good progress on each of them. Here are some highlights:
Becoming a Bike-Friendly Community
Great cities are friendly to bicyclists. Our active bike advisory committee recently approved a grant for the development of a bike and pedestrian master plan. This plan will be completed this year and will guide the city in creating the infrastructure we need to become a truly bike- and pedestrian-friendly city.
The extension of the bike path from Granite Street to Gallison Hill Rd. is well underway, with construction to begin next year.
Finally, the Taylor Street project will include the construction of a new bike and pedestrian bridge across the North Branch, and a new segment of the bike path from Taylor Street to Main Street. Construction on that project will begin next year as well.
Investing in Downtown Promotion
Montpelier voters approved last year the creation of the Downtown Improvement District. The new DID will raise about $75,000 per year from property owners in the downtown area which will be used to promote downtown through marketing, events and streetscape improvements.
Montpelier Alive, which will administer the DID, has received approval to allocate $75,000 of DID funds for branding and marketing, community and arts grants, way-finding signs, street furniture, and seasonal decorations. And Montpelier Alive continues to sponsor many other events that bring life to downtown, including our amazing July 3rd celebration.
A DID-funded project was on full display downtown last weekend with the Park in the Street festival. The event was organized by Meg Schultz of Meg's Events. By all accounts (and as you can see from the photos on this page) the event was a huge success. Thousands of tourists and residents packed State Street and enjoyed dozens of venues set up by local merchants and out-of-town artists.
I heard from many people that we should close State Street to car traffic more often (or even permanently). We will be exploring more ways to draw tourists and shoppers to our core downtown. The reconstruction of State Street next year gives us an opportunity to rethink how our street is designed to make it more attractive to pedestrians.
Local property owner Jesse Jacobs is organizing a series of events in July that will build on the publicly-funded investments in our downtown. ArtsRiot, a Burlington-based community organizing company, will bring its successful Food Truck rallies to Montpelier for four consecutive Saturdays beginning on July 12.
These events will bring food trucks in mobile kitchens to a block-style party atmosphere in the parking lot behind Aubuchon's Hardware. With live performances, open galleries and art studios and great food, this event series will bring artists, families, and visitors downtown. The ArtsRiot event in Burlington has turned the heart of the South End Arts District into a one-of-kind local gathering place, and it promises to be an amazing experience in Montpelier.
Developing the Transit Center
The Taylor Street development will transform a large section of downtown that has long been ignored. Local architectural firm Gossens-Bachman has been leading a public discussion on how to design the new Taylor Street transit center and commercial development so that it incorporates and builds on what works within our existing downtown area and reflects our communities' values. We need to ensure that the Taylor Street development contributes to the vibrancy of our downtown by creating public gathering spaces and allowing access to the river, a long-ignored asset of our community. The new transit center will make Montpelier much more accessible by alternative transportation.
Alleviating Parking Pressures
While I don't believe that great cities are defined by their friendliness to cars, we do need to ensure that we provide adequate parking. We are considering a variety of options to propose for a parking garage. A garage could advance our downtown goals in a number of ways, including 1) alleviating a problem that seems to have grown in recent years, 2) allowing for more of the Taylor Street property (and perhaps other areas) to be used for green space or other public uses, and 3) supporting the construction of more downtown housing.
We are in the early stages of evaluating the options for a garage. These options will be presented in the near future for the city council to consider.
Please do not hesitate to call or email me any time at 223-4651 or email@example.com.

These two types of anesthesia numb your body from the chest down to the legs. The medication is placed directly into the spine area.
Reasons for Procedure
Spinal and epidural anesthesia is frequently given for surgeries involving:
- Pelvis, hips, and legs
- Childbirth
Advantages of these types of anesthesia include:
- The ability to be awake during the operation
- Avoiding complications of general anesthesia
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have spinal and epidural anesthesia, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Severe headache or back pain
- Drop in blood pressure
- Nerve damage
- Infection
- Allergic reaction to the anesthetic used
- Longer labor during childbirth with an epidural anesthesia
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Bleeding disorders
- Prior allergic reactions to anesthetics
- Dehydration
- Immune system disorders
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the surgery.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Make sure that your doctor is aware of:
- Your drug allergies
- Medications you are taking
- Any heart or lung conditions you have
- Any previous reactions that you or other family members have had to anesthesia
- Any bleeding problems you have had in the past
Description of the Procedure
You will be connected to various monitors to keep track of your:
- Blood pressure
- Pulse
- Oxygen content of your blood
You may also have:
- An IV to deliver fluids
- A tube in your bladder to keep urine drained
An area on your back above the spinal cord will be cleaned. A local anesthetic will be injected into the skin to numb the area. This is to decrease pain from the larger needle that will be put in your back. If you are getting spinal anesthesia, the doctor will give you one injection. The medication will be sent directly into the sac of fluid that surrounds the spinal cord.
If you are getting epidural anesthesia, it may be delivered the same way. But, if you need more than one dose, you will have a tiny, flexible tube in place just outside of the fluid sac. This allows the doctor to give you more medication if you need it. After the surgery, a bandage will be placed over the injection spot.
Immediately After Procedure
You will stay in bed until your legs are no longer numb.
How Long Will It Take?
Giving spinal or epidural anesthesia usually takes about 15 minutes.
- Spinal anesthesia—begins working right after the injection is given
- Epidural anesthesia—takes about 10-20 minutes to begin working
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will feel some pain when the needle is inserted.
Average Hospital Stay
Your hospital stay depends on the type of surgery being done.
Postoperative Care
If you received epidural anesthesia, the tube may be left in place to give you more medication. When you no longer need pain control, the tube will be removed.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
For the first 24 hours:
- Do not drive or operate machinery.
- Do not drink alcohol.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Persistent or severe headache or back pain
- Lightheadedness, fainting
- Weakness, numbness, or tingling in your arms or legs
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Skin rash
- Difficulty breathing
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Inspired by my grand daughter's love of baby dolls, you will love how easily this works up. Surprise a little girl with several outfits for these darling little dolls.
I am the proud owner/designer of Sweet Silver Creations http://sweetsilver6.tripod.com I have been designing patterns for dolls 6 inches and under for several years now.

The City's Parking Enforcement officers regularly patrol to enforce regulations concerning the operation of vehicles as well as stopping, standing and parking on the City's streets. The Treasury Division is responsible for processing the payment of any citation issued by Parking Enforcement and for enforcing the collection of unpaid fines and penalties related to those citations.
The City offers citizens the option of paying parking citations online, by phone, by mail, or in person. For more information, visit Six Easy Ways to Pay.
Pay a Citation
NOTE: LICENSE TAG / DECAL violations listed below cannot be paid online.
The City of Alexandria cannot accept online payment for parking citations issued to booted or impounded vehicles or to vehicles cited for failure to display a City vehicle decal (violation code 3-2-336, 10-4-37, or 10-4-37.1). The boot or decal violation must be resolved before the parking citation may be paid and verification is currently not automated. The vehicle owner may pay in person at City Hall or mail the payment (by check or money order) together with proof that he or she has purchased and paid for the decal. If the vehicle owner chooses to pay by check or money order, he or she should write the citation number in the memo field. Returned checks are subject to a $35 fee in accordance with state law.
For assistance, please contact the City's Treasury Division by email or by telephone at 703.746.3902.
Vehicle owners wishing to request information about a specific parking citation may do so here or view all open citations for a specific vehicle by entering the vehicle's license plate number and state here.
On September 21, 2013, the Alexandria City Council voted to close the Parking Adjudication Office. The Office closed on December 31, 2013.
Vehicle owners who wish to contest a parking citation must fill out a District Court Affidavit. Hearings must be scheduled in advance and cannot be scheduled by physically appearing at General District Court. To schedule a hearing for District Court, the vehicle owner must complete a District Court affidavit (one for each citation contested), have it notarized, and mail it with copies of the parking citation and his or her driver's license to City of Alexandria, P.O. Box 1423, Alexandria, VA, 22313-1423. Please note that the affidavit must be signed in the presence of a Notary. By contesting a citation in General District Court, you may incur court costs.

This isn't an official Open Letter event (or Three Percent event, or Writers & Books event), but any and everyone in Rochester reading this should come to Tapas 177 tomorrow night at 8pm for the second "Rochester Literary Salon."

There is a Facebook event listing where I tried to make this sound all exclusive and literary and whatnot . . .

The pop of the Champagne cork is as much a part of the New Year's Eve soundtrack as "Auld Lang Syne" and fireworks. The tiny, tickling bubbles evoke celebratory moods.
With so many sparkling wines to choose from, picking the best bottle can be daunting. Prices for sparkling wine range from less than $10 to more than $500 per bottle. Keep in mind that while you usually get what you pay for, there are some great options for those of us on a budget.
Large "negociant" champagne houses that purchase much of their fruit, such as Veuve Clicquot, Bollinger, Roederer, Taittinger, Perrier Jouet and Nicolas Feuillatte, dominate the market. However, in the last decade or so, Champagne from small growers has gained some traction with Champagne enthusiasts.
Only sparkling wine from the French region of Champagne can be labeled Champagne. But that doesn't mean that quality sparkling wine can't be produced in other parts of France and around the world.
Cremant from Burgundy, Limoux or the Loire Valley, Prosecco from Italy, Cava from Spain, and sparkling wine from Argentina and the U.S. West Coast deliver quality, value-driven sparklers.
Prosecco is chiefly grown in Italy's Veneto region. It is vinified like Champagne. Unlike Champagne, Prosecco can deliver quality under $20.
For luxurious vintage Prosecco, the 2009 Bisol Cartizze is an elegant, floral sparkler with layers of citrus fruit, citrus rind, stone fruits and lithe minerality.
In its native Spain, Cava is the drink of choice on Christmas Eve. It is so value-driven that you can buy enough Cava for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
In the end, if you are looking to celebrate the New Year in style, Salon is, shall we say, the Champagne of Champagnes. Or, for a kid-friendly New Year's, try sparkling apple cider.
If you are looking for delicious options on a budget, try one of these five champagnes for less than $20:
1. François Labet ($17) Burgandy, France
2. Boeckel ($16) France
3. Codorníu Cuvée Raventos ($14) Spain
4. Martini and Rossi ($12) Italy
5. Kupferberg Gold ($9) Germany
Check out our Directory under " Beer, Wine & Liquor" and get ready to toast the New Year.

An area on your back above the spinal cord will be cleaned. A local anesthetic will be injected into the skin to numb the area. This is to decrease pain from the larger needle that will be put in your back. If you are getting spinal anesthesia, the doctor will give you one injection. The medication will be sent directly into the sac of fluid that surrounds the spinal cord.
If you are getting epidural anesthesia, it may be delivered the same way. But, if you need more than one dose, you will have a tiny, flexible tube in place just outside of the fluid sac. This allows the doctor to give you more medication if you need it. After the surgery, a bandage will be placed over the injection spot.

Giving spinal or epidural anesthesia usually takes about 15 minutes.

The Westwood Independent School District in Palestine was put on temporary lockdown Tuesday morning after officials saw a bleeding man on the school grounds.
Around 9:15 a.m., officers from the Palestine Police Department responded to a report of shots fired in the area of 2305 Salt Works Road.
Westwood ISD's superintendent says the school immediately went into lockdown.
"We received a call that the police department was at our elementary school and that there had been an intruder enter into our playground area and that they wanted our schools to go into lockdown," says Ed Lyman, Westwood ISD superintendent.
When officers arrived on the scene, they detained a man on school grounds, who said he had been the victim of an aggravated assault in the residential area northeast of the Westwood Elementary on Bassett Road, north of Salt Works Road.
The man told police he was running from an altercation and cut through the school's property to get away. He also said he believed someone was shooting at him.
The victim was transported by EMS to a local hospital for a minor injury to his hand, but police do not believe it was a gunshot wound.
The man did not have a weapon on him, nor did officers locate a weapon in the surrounding area of the school premises.
According to Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor, no shots were ever fired.
"There was talk that there was some shots fired, we're finding out now, there were no shots fired," says Taylor.
Taylor says the man was bitten by a pit bull during the incident a couple of blocks from the school and ran to the school.
The Palestine Police Department shortly thereafter assisted the Anderson County Sheriff's Office in an investigation of the activities occurring at a residence in the area, which is believed to be tied to the report of the earlier assault.
A detective with the police department said the school, "was never in any danger." The school went on lockdown as a precautionary measure.
Still, some families decided to pick students up early.
"A lot of parents just feel more comfortable taking their kids out for the day, make sure their little nerves are ok," says Patrice Edington, a grandmother of a student at the school.
The school's superintendent says the school was prepared to handle this incident.
"We follow the Texas school safety center ... and we are actually doing an after action assessment today because there are some things that we can improve," Lyman says.
Palestine Independent School District was on lockdown from about 9:10 to 10:30 a.m., according to the Superintendents' office.
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office says they investigated the area where the assault occurred and arrested one man for possession of marijuana. It is not clear if the man arrested was involved in the assault that led to the school lockdown.
The Sheriff's office also say evidence of an assault was retrieved at a home near the school.

Baseball has an image problem. Like the attractive girl in high school who
blossomed too early, MLB has peaked and can only look back to its glory
days. The funny thing? They've had some of their best success ever
in the last decade and nobody has noticed. They've got an image problem and the NFL knows how to capitalize.
Miguel Cabrera has a chance to win a second consecutive triple crown. Mike Trout continues to blow people's minds. You've had Atlanta and Detroit on double digit winning streaks at the same time. Last time that happened? 1884. The American League didn't even EXIST in 1884. This is uncharted territory for MLB. You could have incredible postseason match ups. Yet as soon as preseason football kicked off, everyone forgot MLB.
Have you ever watched preseason football? It's painful. I know it's still technically football, but the game is barely even that. It's one or two series from names you know and three quarters of spending time figuring out who the players on the field are. That's not fun to watch. It's excruciating. Fourth quarter preseason football should be implemented as torture by the US military. Why would you subject yourself to this kind of pain, especially when there are other (read: anything) things you can watch.
We live in the greatest era of television watching the world has ever seen. A viewer has THOUSANDS of options of what to watch, but still offers to subject themselves to watching two monkeys throw poop at each other (this would also be the case for a Cardinals/Browns regular season game). HDTV, satellite TV, DVR, online viewing, mobile options….there are no ends to possibilities of how to watch. Teams offer exclusive content and highlights. Why are people so quick to bail on games that matter for games that don't?
Football is our new drug. We've entered an incredible drug culture in our world and no one is immune. Whether it's football, or extra prescriptions, or whatever vices people choose for their addiction, people cannot get enough of their fix. But it's not football's fault that baseball can't keep people interested. That'd be unfair to football. They've got their own (PED) issue.
No, baseball has issues because it refuses to look
forward. It's only now that they're
starting to look at the present, as evidenced by the Biogenesis rulings. They're finally concerned about the games
now, and not the games of the past. Credit
to the league for finally trying to set things right, but it's nearly too
late. Most people aren't going to come
back to baseball because they're hungover from football's glow.
Doesn't mean baseball is innocent of driving fans away. The MLB brass has tried to push their weight around
for a long time. Now that they've
actually listened to players, fans, and the like, things are changing. Their long games, constant PED suspicion, and
lack of stars have certainly not helped their case. It's easy for the NFL, and to a smaller
degree, the other leagues (NHL, NBA, MLS, etc) , to capitalize on their
mistakes. But that doesn't explain why
people would choose unimportant, irrelevant preseason football over baseball's
stretch run.
Baseball needs to change their season. Start the season in mid-March, since Spring
Training no longer carries the same importance it once did. You can keep the spring training sites happy
by playing the first two weeks as you normally do, but use the September call up
here so you can still evaluate. End the
regular season on Labor Day. By then,
everyone's moving to football. You'll be
up against the first weekend of college football, but you can live with
that. Football, college and pro, isn't
going to be as critical in September.
Put the MLB playoffs in September and finish the World Series by
10/1. Since you know the owners will
never reduce the number of games (best solution), this is a nice compromise.
Baseball has its detractors and certainly has brought a lot of it on itself. Sports fans have enough room in their life for more than one sport, but when there's an alluring glow of their favorite drug (football), it's hard for a new drug to take over. So long baseball and your exciting season. The world has unimportant football to watch.

Our commitment – help for little ones
Social commitment and taking on social responsibility constitute an integral part of our corporate philosophy. For this reason, in the year 2000 the "Good Deed" programme was initiated. Since then the employees who work at the Frankfurt am Main location have been actively involved in it. In the course of the year, funds are raised through a huge variety of individual activities – by employees for employees – also with the support of the company. The recipients of the donations are non-profit organisations in the Rhein-Main region, which is where the head office is located. In order to use those funds to help in a targeted way, the "Good Deed" initiative has been supporting the Child Welfare Association of Frankfurt since 2006. Among other things, the association gives abused or sexually exploited children and teenagers the opportunity to work through and deal with what they have experienced with the help of therapists. This long-term partnership with the Child Welfare Association is aimed at providing sustainable assistance for this urgently needed project.
Furthermore, as tour operators Dertour, Meier's Weltreisen and ADAC Reisen also support the battle against sexual exploitation of children in countries that are holiday destinations. As members of the Association of German Travel Agents and Tour Operators (DRV), they have joined forces with the internationally active children's rights organisation ECPAT to champion children's rights and fight against sexual abuse. An extensive code of ethics has been agreed upon jointly.

Some cool pictures but not sure how hanging measuring spoons &cups (which naturally can nest together in a very small spot) is good for a small kitchen...
EcoGrrl, it depends on the space. A friend of mine once had just one single drawer in her kitchen, and another had only two -- hanging measuring spoons and cups on the unused inside of a cabinet door woudl have been perfect for them. But for someone who needs every cubic inch of cabinet space, stowing them in a drawer makes more sense than having them stick into the cabinet even a tiny bit.
(My own kitchen isn't so tiny, but I like the idea of having measures hung up separately like that for ready individual access, and it'd mean my less-cooking-conscious partner could easily grab, say, a quarter-teaspoon measure without first peering anxiously at all the spoon sizes/labels.)
If the first Picture's kitchen supposed to be tiny why why are the walls a super dark color and why are they eating up counter space with useless nicknacks?
