NEW YORK (AP) — A woman working out at a Manhattan fitness center suffered cuts from shards of glass after a piece of construction equipment crashed through the gym's fourth-floor window.
The freak accident Wednesday prompted temporary suspension of construction of the controversial Marine Transfer Station on the Upper East Side.
Robin Cocking says she was exercising at Asphalt Green when the jack hammer chisel came crashing through the window around 9 a.m.
Cocking, who works at the gym, escaped with minor cuts.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney called for a halt to the construction until safety at the work site could be improved.
The city's Department of Design and Construction, which is overseeing the work, says it's conducting an investigation.

Batman has many secrets — the best-known one, of course, being his millionaire alter ego, Bruce Wayne. But that may not be the Dark Knight's biggest secret.
Since the 1930s, only one man has been given credit for creating the caped crusader and his home city of Gotham. Bob Kane's name appears in the credits of all the movies, the campy TV show and the associated merchandise, from video games and action figures to sheets and underwear.
But what if Bob Kane didn't do it all by himself?
"Bill Finger is the uncredited co-creator of Batman," author Marc Tyler Nobleman tells NPR's Guy Raz. "His name never appeared on a Batman story in his lifetime, but he was responsible for just about everything enduring about Batman."
DC Comics had commissioned Kane to come up with a superhero to rival the newly created Superman. After meeting at a party, Kane enlisted Finger, then a struggling artist and writer, to help. Nobleman tells the story of Batman's birth in his new book, Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman.
"Bill Finger named Gotham City," Nobleman says. "He named Bruce Wayne." Finger, who was mainly a writer, was responsible for designing Batman's iconic cape and cowl costume, Nobleman says. In fact, he says, some people believe that Kane didn't even come up with the idea of Batman on his own.
"There are some that feel ... that his character was Birdman, and it was actually Bill who said, 'Let's go with Batman.' "
The list goes on. Robin? "Bill was the one who said Batman needs ... someone to talk to," Nobleman says. "And through that, Robin evolved, and Bill wrote the first Robin story."
The Joker? "That's also hotly disputed. It was definitely a group effort, but I give Bill ... the majority of the credit," Nobleman says. "He wrote the first story, he came up with the look, although someone else drew it."
Batman was a revolutionary figure in the world of early superhero comics; he wasn't an alien or a mutant, and he had no superhuman powers. He was just a regular human who happened to have a very good reason to transform himself into a vigilante crime fighter: As a child, he witnessed the murder of his parents by a mugger on a Gotham street.
"Bill Finger came up with that story, and that was unprecedented at the time," Nobleman says. "That was more depth than anyone had ever applied to a comic book character before."
Nobleman gives 99 percent of the credit for Batman to Finger. "But if you're looking at it from a business perspective, then the numbers shift," he says. "Bob was the one who got it sold and was the one who was the face of Batman for many years, but that's because he orchestrated that in his contract. Bill was not a promoter."
No documentation or contract survives relating to Finger and Kane's business relationship — but when Kane proposed that he put his own name on the character they created together, Nobleman says, Finger accepted. "Partly because that's what was done at the time, but also partly because it was the end of the Depression and if you could get any work in your chosen field in the arts, you'd take it."
Kane grew rich on Batman profits — money that Finger barely shared in. "This is going to sound like I'm milking this," Nobleman says, "but he literally died alone, poor ... and unheralded. No obituary ran for him, he didn't have a funeral and he doesn't even have a gravestone."
Finger wasn't completely forgotten, but he's never gotten credit as the co-creator of Batman. "Bob Kane is the only person credited on any Batman story in any medium," Nobleman says. DC Comics puts Finger's name on the specific scripts he wrote, but it doesn't recognize his influence on the creation of the character, he says.
"They have a contract with the Kane estate and they don't want to jeopardize that," he says.
But Finger is a hero to many comics fans. "Fans ... refused to let this injustice stand," Nobleman says, "but no one ever did anything formally for him."
Until Jerry Robinson — a friend of Finger's and one of the earliest Batman ghostwriters — created an award in his honor. The Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing is given out each year at San Diego Comic-Con to two writers, one living and one deceased, who have not been properly recognized for their work.
Almost everything you know about Batman - the cape, the mask, Gotham, Bruce Wayne, et cetera. Almost all of it is because of one man. And that man is not Bob Kane, who is credited as the writer behind the iconic superhero. Now, if you've seen "The Dark Knight Rises," there it is in the credits: Based on the character by Bob Kane. The name not there is that of Bill Finger.
He's the subject of a new picture book called "Bill, the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman" written by Marc Tyler Nobleman who joins me now. Welcome.
MARC TYLER NOBLEMAN: Thank you.
RAZ: So who was Bill Finger? Tell me about him.
NOBLEMAN: Bill Finger is the uncredited cocreator of Batman. His name never appeared on a Batman story in his lifetime, but he was responsible for just about everything enduring about Batman. I challenge people to name something about Batman that didn't come from Bill. And most of the time, no matter whether you're a hardcore fan or a person on the street, whatever you say first will be a Bill Finger contribution.
RAZ: OK. We all know about Bob Kane, the guy who we're led to believe is the sole creator of Batman. But let me test you on it. Gotham City.
NOBLEMAN: Bill Finger named it.
RAZ: He named it. He created Gotham City.
NOBLEMAN: Bill Finger named Gotham City.
RAZ: Bruce Wayne.
NOBLEMAN: Named - he named Bruce Wayne.
RAZ: Batman, the actual Batman character.
NOBLEMAN: Bill designed the costume. Even though he's the writer, he also was the visual architect. Bob Kane admitted that and explained that in detail in his autobiography.
RAZ: Bob Kane came up with the idea for a Batman.
NOBLEMAN: Well, even that is disputed. Bob said that he came up with the name Batman, and there are some that feel he didn't even do that much, that his character was called Birdman, and it was actually Bill who said, let's go with Batman.
RAZ: OK. What about Robin?
NOBLEMAN: Bill was the one who said Batman needs a - needs someone to talk to. And as a writer myself, that makes perfect sense. When you're writing a character who's alone all the time, that's very difficult. So Bill said he needs someone to talk to. And through that, Robin evolved, and Bill wrote the first Robin story.
RAZ: The Joker?
NOBLEMAN: Well, that's also hotly disputed. It was definitely a group effort, but I give Bill a lot of the - you know, the majority of the credit. He wrote the first story. He came up with the look, although someone else drew it. And, yeah, I would give Bill more than half the credit for The Joker.
RAZ: OK. The thing about Batman that was revolutionary at the time was that he was not born with these superhero powers, these, you know, otherworldly powers, like Superman. He was just a regular human being who worked out and worked his mind and became a superhero. And that was because of his backstory, because Bruce Wayne as a kid sees his parents get killed by a mugger.
NOBLEMAN: Yes. Yeah. Actually, that is what I attribute to Batman's longevity, is the fact that Bill added a - what was considered a novelistic background.
RAZ: It was Bill's - Bill Finger came up with that story.
NOBLEMAN: This is Bill. Bill Finger came up with that story. And that was unprecedented at the time. Most comic book characters before Batman had no reason to do what they were doing. They were just doing good for good's sake. But Batman had a psychological reason. That was more depth than anyone had ever applied to a comic book character before.
RAZ: How did Bill Finger hook up with Bob Kane, the guy who is credited as the person behind Batman?
NOBLEMAN: Bob and Bill actually both went to the same high school, DeWitt Clinton in the Bronx, but they apparently did not know each other there. They met at a party in 1938, which was five years after Bill graduated. And Bob was already working for the company that became DC Comics doing smaller stories. And he saw Bill's potential and had Bill write stories for him.
RAZ: This is in the late 1930s.
NOBLEMAN: This is probably about 1938. And then Batman debuted in 1939.
RAZ: And what was the agreement between them? I mean, Bob Kane said: Listen, write this stuff for me, and by the way, you're not going to get credit?
NOBLEMAN: Well, you know, unfortunately, no known documentation survives between the two of them. These were young guys. This was an era when there wasn't such an awareness of creator's rights. So they probably didn't sit down and write anything down for posterity. There was no contract.
But apparently, Bob did say to Bill, we're going to do this character for DC. You'll write it, I'll have my name on it, and that'll be the arrangement. And Bill agreed, partly because that's what was done at the time, but also partly because it was the end of the Depression. And if you could get any work in your chosen field of - in the arts, you'd take it.
RAZ: So he kind of just accepted this.
NOBLEMAN: He did accept it, one of his fatal flaws.
RAZ: Your book, I should mention, it's not a nonfiction narrative. It is a graphic - essentially, a picture book.
NOBLEMAN: Well, you know, it's both. I call it a picture book for older readers. It looks more like a picture book than a traditional graphic novel. But it's got elements of both.
RAZ: Why did you decide to do it this way rather than writing a straightforward biography?
NOBLEMAN: I wanted to start on the ground level. I wanted people to grow up knowing the story behind Batman. So I wanted it to be accessible to young people but also be engaging for an older audience.
RAZ: So Bill Finger has been mentioned before. There were articles about him toward the end of his life. He died in 1974. But to this day, he is not credited as the cocreator, right? If you see the recent movie, the Christopher Nolan movie, Bob Kane is still credited at the end of that movie.
NOBLEMAN: Yes. Bob Kane is the only person credited on any Batman story in any medium. DC Comics doesn't officially credit Bill Finger as a cocreator, but they do credit him as a writer for any story that he wrote that they reprint. But, for example, "The Dark Knight," well, all three of the Christopher Nolan movies take a lot of their influence from Bill Finger, but they don't put his name in the credits on any level. They won't say based on the material written by Bill Finger. They don't even say that the Dark Knight was first used in a story that Bill Finger wrote. That, they should have done, I think.
RAZ: Why don't they do that?
NOBLEMAN: Anything they do that edges toward giving Bill official credit will raise the red flag to the Kane estate. And they have a contract with the Kane estate, and they don't want to jeopardize that.
RAZ: The Christopher Nolan Batman is the Bill Finger Batman.
NOBLEMAN: I would say so.
RAZ: We don't know for sure, but we have to assume that Bob Kane or his family made a lot of money off Batman.
NOBLEMAN: Yes.
RAZ: Did Bill Finger?
NOBLEMAN: No. Bill made almost nothing. He literally died alone, poor - I mean poor is probably an understatement. He really was living paycheck to paycheck, and even that was a stretch, and unheralded. No obituary ran for him. He didn't have a funeral, and he doesn't even have a gravestone. It's a heartbreaking end to a the man who created such a cultural force.
There are royalties being paid out to his family after the fact, but that's for reprints. It's not what I call Batman Money with all caps. It's not a share of the profit of Batman. It's money for his stories, which is great, but not nearly enough.
RAZ: When you kind of put it all into perspective, do you see villains in the Bill Finger story, you know, in a way that you would see them in a Batman story, or is it more complicated than that, just like Batman is?
NOBLEMAN: Well, you know, it's an easy parallel to make, and it comes up almost all the time when I speak. And Bob Kane is clearly a villain here. But Bill is not blameless. As I said at the beginning, one of his flaws - we all have them - was that he did not stand up for himself in the way that a lot of people today think he should have. But that's using a modern hindsight. You can't always do that. It's not always fair to apply what would happen today to what happened 70 years ago.
RAZ: Marc Tyler Nobleman is the author of the new picture book. It's called "Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman." Marc, thanks.
NOBLEMAN: Thanks, Guy. I appreciate it. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

LONDON (AP) — The leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales has urged followers to write to their representatives in Parliament to oppose the government's plans to allow gay marriage.
In a letter read to congregations over the weekend, Archbishop Vincent Nichols called for Catholics to express their views "clearly, calmly and forcefully."
Nichols says he is concerned about how a change in the law would affect what children are taught about marriage.
He says he wants members of Parliament to "defend, not change, the bond of man and woman in marriage as the essential element of the vision of the family."
Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative-led government plans to introduce legislation in January to allow gay marriages. Recent opinion polls suggest a large majority of the public supports the change.

A skin biopsy is a procedure where a small piece of abnormal skin is removed for testing. There are 3 main types of skin biopsies:
- Shave biopsy—outer part of affected area is removed
- Punch biopsy—a small cylinder of skin is removed using a punch tool
- Excisional biopsy—an entire area of abnormal skin is removed
Reasons for Procedure
A skin biopsy is used to test an area of abnormal skin. If possible, the entire area will be removed during the biopsy. A skin biopsy may be done to diagnose:
- Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections
- Inflammatory skin disorders, such as psoriasis
- Skin cancer or benign skin growths
Skin biopsy may also be done to:
- Make sure a tumor was completely removed—by testing remaining skin
- Monitor the effect of a treatment
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. The doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Poor wound healing
- Scarring
- Nerve damage
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Suppressed immune system
- Bleeding disorders
- Circulatory problems
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
No special preparation is needed for this procedure.
Local anesthesia may be used. It will numb the area being treated.
Description of the Procedure
The involved area will be prepared. The skin will be cleaned. Medication will be applied to the skin or injected to numb the area. The exact steps will depend on the type of biopsy:
- Shave biopsy—A thin slice of the skin will be removed. It is done with a special razor that shaves off a piece of skin.
- Punch biopsy—A special tool is used. The tip of the tool is pushed into your skin. As it is pushed down, the tool will be rotated into the skin. A circular sample of skin will then be cut free. This biopsy provides a sample from all of the layers of the skin. Stitches may be needed to close the hole.
- Excision biopsy—The entire area of abnormal skin will be removed with a scalpel. This biopsy will make a larger and deeper hole in the skin. Stitches will be placed to close the hole left in the skin.
After the procedure, a clean dressing will be placed over the area.
How Long Will It Take?
5-20 minutes
Will It Hurt?
There may be some pain and discomfort after the procedure. Medication may be advised to reduce discomfort. .
Post-procedure Care
Keep the biopsy area clean and dry. Keep it covered with a sterile bandage for 1-2 days. Stitches will be left in the skin for 3-14 days, depending on where they are located. The area will need to be cleaned to prevent infection. Do not get the area wet unless the doctor says it is okay to do so.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact the doctor if any of the following occur:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- New or unexpected symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Owners seek the return of king-size bounce house stolen nearly two years ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Anchorage owners of an inflatable games business are hoping to get one of their rentals back. A big one.
Michelle Appel tells the Anchorage Daily News that a customer nearly two years ago rented a king-size bounce house from her business, For Fun Alaska, but never returned the $4,000 item.
The device is called the Big Big Bouncer. It would be hard to miss with its scheme of primary colors. Plus, it's 20 feet across and about 15 feet tall.
Appel says a woman paid $400 to rent the bounce house for a birthday party and was not seen again. Appel and her husband tracked the woman to her home, but she had moved.
Appel says the Big Big Bouncer is the only theft from the business since it was started by her mother in 1991.

Vascular dementia is a type of dementia. It is caused by disease of the small blood vessels in the brain. Parts of the brain called white matter along with grey matter are injured by multiple small strokes.
Vascular dementia occurs when cells below the surface of the brain's cortex die because they do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. This process is due to hardening and narrowing of the blood vessels within the white matter of the brain. This affects the blood supply.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of vascular dementia include:
- Increased age
- High blood pressure
- Alzheimer's dementia—can occur along with vascular dementia
- Cardiovascular disease
- Hardening of blood vessels—atherosclerosis and lipohyalinosis
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Conditions that cause the blood to clot
- Genetic disorders
In some people, symptoms appear suddenly with neurological changes like those caused by a stroke. Sometimes, the small strokes that lead to vascular dementia can happen without other symptoms. This makes the condition difficult to detect.
In some cases, symptoms may stabilize or even improve. However in most people, the disease continues to progress.
The main symptoms of vascular dementia include:
- Progressive loss of intellectual abilities, processing speed, and cognitive and motor abilities
- Progressive memory loss
- Slow, unsteady walking
Other symptoms that may be present include:
- Incontinence
- Personality changes
- Laughing, crying, or smiling during inappropriate times
- Difficulty speaking
- Swallowing difficulties
- Paralysis or weakness of one or both sides of the body
- Inactivity
- Depression, which may cause a loss of interest in activities
- Tremors, loss of coordination, loss of trunk mobility
- Seizures
- Nighttime confusion
- Paranoia
- Disorientation
The symptoms of vascular dementia can resemble other causes of dementia, such as Alzheimer's.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Pictures may be taken of your brain and bodily structures. This can be done with:
- MRI scan
- CT scan
- MR angiography
- CT angiography
- Ultrasound of the carotid artery in the neck
Your heart and brain activity may be evaluated. This can be done with:
- Echocardiogram
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)—to measure electrical activity of the heart
- Electroencephalogram (EEG)—to measure electrical activity of the brain
- Neuropsychological testing
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
There is no known cure for vascular dementia. Reducing risk factors and symptoms are important in trying to slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
Medications can be given to help limit or control symptoms and possibly slow progression of the disease. These include:
Medications to control:
- High blood pressure
- Heart arrhythmias
- Stroke risk, such as by using aspirin
- High cholesterol
- Conditions that cause the blood to clot
- Diabetes
- Antidepressants
- Nimodipine—may help improve cognitive function in the short term, but lacks evidence to support its long-term use
- Medications used to treat Alzheimer's
There are no definitive guidelines to prevent vascular dementia. However, the following may help reduce your risk:
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about how you can successfully quit.
- Eat a diet that is low in fat and low in salt.
- If you drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. Moderate alcohol intake is two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.
- Have your blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels checked at least once a year.
- If you have diabetes, maintain your blood glucose in your target range.
- Avoid low blood pressure. If you get lightheaded when you stand up, or have a history of fainting, talk to your doctor.

Have you ever shouted into your phone "Operator! I need the operator. Just put me through to the operator!"
Sound familiar?
That's probably because we all have said that. At top volume. Along with some other words not fit for print.
That's because voice recognition systems at most companies can be labyrinthine to navigate and frustrating to deal with when all you want is a little customer support in the form of a human. But hearing that civilized, pre-programmed voice on the other end saying, "I think you said, 'I don't have it'" when you are trying to say in as polite a voice as possible, "Representative, please" can be mighty aggravating.
However, with a little inside insight, the experience doesn't have to be frustrating. We spoke to experts who offered tips on how to reach a live agent, when you need to, and how to get the best customer service.
Today's World
There are many options for customer service today. Younger customers, for instance, would often rather handle a problem or question via a web chat, instant message or email, says Oscar Alban, a former call center agent who now works with Witness Systems, a designer of call center workforce optimization software. "We are going through this interesting change. Companies have to be ready to service all of them and they are going to have this combination of people for a long time...it could be more efficient to have you not reach a person. If it's done right, it can be more efficient for the customers."
But sometimes voice recognition systems can induce frustration in consumers. "A lot of times these systems are designed from the inside out and they aren't taking into consideration the customers," says Oscar Alban, a former call center agent who now works with Witness Systems, a designer of call center workforce optimization software. His years in the field have made him an expert in how to effectively navigate customer service systems.
Tricks of the Trade

How To Use This Site
If you're brand new to this site, it might look overwhelming until you get a sense of where things are at. Schiz Life is a content-based site, much like a newspaper or a magazine. However, we focus strictly and solely on schizophrenia. So where does all of this content reside? We have decided to separate our articles into several categories, as described below:Basics
This category will be of the most interest to those who wish to gain a very broad but shallower overview of the entirety of the academic view of schizophrenia. We cover all of the topics you'd expect to find in an abnormal psychology text book here, and at a similar depth. It is a great introduction to this illness and will guide you further along into deeper topics.Knowledge
We cover various angles such as statistics, research, and more factually based views of schizophrenia and place them in this category. One could say that it is almost a repository for article that don't fit into the other categories, but it is more than that. Go check it to find out more!Treatment
The name says it all. This category of content covers all topics related to the treatment and prevention of schizophrenia and its relapses. We've started with the empirically sound and scientifically backed methods first, but we intend to venture into more holistic and alternative therapies as well. Without investigating all options, progress wont' be made, and so we do.Symptoms
There are countless symptoms involved in schizophrenia. We cover them in depth in this category, including the positive (outward) and negative (inward) symptoms of every type of this disorder. There is much to read here, so if a particular symptom is giving you or a loved one trouble, this is the place to go and learn more about it.Coping
What use is all of this information when we simply don't feel good enough to read it and learn? The category for coping provides many ideas that you can apply to your own life to help you maintain the best health possible, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that some of us simply cannot escape, but we can learn to live with it, minimize its problematic aspects, and take advantage of some of the aspects it unlocks within us that others don't have!Culture
Let's face it. People are afraid of what they don't understand. This category addresses the cultural issue of schizophrenia and it's impacts on the way we are treated or perceived by the masses. It is up to us to represent ourselves in the best light and to combat the myths and misunderstandings that exist in the world concerning our plight. Learn about these issues here and apply them in your lives!Spectrum
There are other classifications of illnesses that are very closely related to schizophrenia. The only differences might just be a research label actually, but we have found it useful to place these articles in a category of their own. We deal with schizophreniform and psychosis disorders and their respective symptoms here.Spirituality
While the medical community deals with schizophrenia as a psychological or physical disorder of the brain, those of us who actually experience it know it is much more. It is a philosophical, spiritual, metaphysical, and mythological issue. Coming to terms with this, confronting it, integrating it, and reconciling it leads to much higher functioning not only as an individual diagnosed with schizophrenia but as a member of society in general. We have a deeper access to this aspect of life and have a great opportunity for learning and healing.Artwork
Many of us past and present have chosen to express ourselves through the arts. Whether this is painting and drawing, poetry, dancing, or any other artform, it is healthy and beautiful. We are writing biographies, displaying artwork, and welcoming submissions from our own community to be included here in this category! Please submit if you have something to share!News
The internet has opened up the world. There is a constant flow of news concerning our illness but you wouldn't know it by watching the television. We cover new research topics, treatment modalities, and nationwide and worldwide coverage of schizophrenia or incidents related to it in this category!Other Items
We have also included other items of interest throughout our website. For instance, we are producing a series of infographics to help educate the public on this topic. We also are collecting and reviewing books concerning the illness. In addition, we have created a directory for the United States of all treatment facilities and hospitals that have staff that are trained to work with schizophrenia cases. Please look around and find these sections and more.
There is something that was slightly mentioned in the footer of the site, but that could be overlooked easily so we felt it was the responsible thing to do to create a large disclaimer to be displayed here on the homepage. This has to do completely with safety. Let us explain.Individual Uniqueness
Every individual on this planet is a unique person. Even more so, those of us dealing with this special psychological difficulty are even more unique, if that makes sense. On this site, we are talking about one of the most complex brain mysteries ever and it expresses itself through every person differently. Every case is going to have it's own peculiarities and all we are able to do in the articles on the site is speak in generalities. We invite anyone to leave appropriate comments and engage in discussion, however we can't take responsibility for their words. Nor can we take responsibility for the actions of any individual or group who have at one time or another visited our website.Always Consult a Medical Professional
If you find yourself in a situation where you're trying to learn more about your condition or are trying to cope through a moment of crisis, please do not act upon any of the information listed on this site, whether in the main content or comments, without first corroborating the accuracy of the info with a medical professional first. Reach out to a general practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor. Even then it's always helpful to have a second opinion from a separate professional as well. Again, we must stress... always act with safety as the foremost concern, and this means consulting professionals before engaging in any practice intended to treat your condition.Please Be Considerate About Delusions
We understand that delusions can be very confusing and convincing. We also understand that delusions can center around topics that simply are too philosophical to be proven wrong or correct and thus are tempting to explore in-depth. We have no problem with this exploration as long as it is not harmful to those discussing it. Please use your best discretion in this regard. If the staff of Schiz Life step in and begin deleting comments or halting a conversation, please respect their decision and understand it is not personal.
Investigating delusions is encouraged. Delusions are interesting due to their nature of being understood as strange and outside the norm of the culture of the experiencer, but there is a vast number of individuals visiting this site from many cultures. There is a subtle difference between discussing these topics, and encouraging or trolling. Please find that balance and abide by the above suggestions.
We also, under no circumstances, will tolerate anyone discussing or suggesting harming themselves or others. Past-tense symptom discussion in this regard is fine, but nothing in the future tense will be allowed.General Discussion Guidelines
We encourage discussion in the comments as much as possible and are looking into offering a forum and personal blogs as well. In all of these mediums when carrying on conversation, there are some useful questions to ask yourself before posting that comment or response.
The main question to ask yourself is the following:
Is what I'm about to post going to help and support or will it further entrench illness and suffering?
Please consider this as you enjoy Schiz Life. Try not to post angry or hurtful comments. Try not to criticize or blame others. Be as supportive, encouraging, and respecting as you can. Accepting and negotiating differences is key to carrying on constructive conversation.
Remember, there is a real person on the other side of the screen. It's easy to assume the other person is in a similar situation as yourself, but you don't know the extent of their emotions, symptoms, nor their age or even gender.
Let's Do This Together!
Let's have a supportive and comforting community where we all feel open and able to share as much as possible. If you receive support from someone, please pay that forward and try to help out someone else. If we all do this, we should all be okay! Thank you for reading and enjoying this thing we are building together.

The Olympic Games are officially under way, and we're watching sports many of us glimpse only every four years: gymnastics; track; judo. But we're willing to bet that the sports' sounds are just as memorable: the clanking of foils, the tick-tock of table tennis, the robotic "Take your mark!" before swimmers launch.
Those unique sounds are part of the Olympic experience. And it's one man's job to make sure we hear them clearly: Dennis Baxter, the official sound engineer for the Olympics. He's been at it since 1996.
To get a feel for what the Summer Games sounded like before Baxter came on board, we listened to clips from the pre-Baxter era and compared them to recent events. The results were fascinating. Take a listen:
In the Seoul clip from 1988, all we can hear is the thud of the arrow hitting the target. Baxter wanted to change that. "As a child, I remember the movie Robin Hood," he told Guy Raz, host of Weekends On All Things Considered. "And there was this hyper-sound that I remember... and with the archery event, I wanted to hear the sounds of the arrow." So he set up four microphones on the ground along the path of the arrow, to catch its release, and the sound of its flight through the air.
This first clip is a famous moment in Olympic history: The Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci scoring the games' first-ever perfect 10. She's on the uneven bars, but the only things we hear are the announcer and the crowd. But in 2008, every swing and release of the U.K.'s Beth Tweddle is perfectly audible. Baxter set up microphones on each corner of the bars — the idea, he says, was "that you [the listener] should be able to close your eyes and know exactly where you are."
During Baxter's first Olympics in 1996, his boss called him during the rowing events with his only major criticism: All he could hear were the motors of the chase boats and the TV helicopter. So Baxter came up with one of his most unusual solutions. He took a portable recorder down to the lake, taped the sound of several boats practicing, and put it in a sampler to play along with the live event.
"Some people think it's cheating. I don't think I'm cheating anybody," he says. "The sound is there. It is the exact sound. It's just not necessarily real time. Because of the laws of physics, you've got one noise masking another noise. So ... when you see a rower, your mind thinks you should hear the rower and that's what we deliver."
For more Olympic sounds, our classical music blog, Deceptive Cadence, has a "know-it-all's" guide to the music behind the games.
Becky Sullivan produced this segment for weekends on All Things Considered.
And if you're just tuning in, this is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz.
Over the next few weeks, we'll get to hear those sounds...
RAZ: ...that most of us only hear every four years.
RAZ: They are the sounds of the Olympics, of course, and the man behind them all is Dennis Baxter. He is the official sound designer for the games, and he has been since Atlanta in 1996.
DENNIS BAXTER: And the sound design is figuring out exactly what you want a sport to sound like and then do a microphone plan that is necessary to deliver the highest possible quality sound to engage the viewer and to fundamentally, for me, to satisfy the expectations of the viewer.
RAZ: Now, this has actually - and I didn't realize this - this is a relatively new thing. Back if you watched the Olympics in - before 1996, before you became the Olympic sound engineer, the Olympics sounded considerably different. And I want to play some samples of that. This is a clip from the archery event from the Seoul Olympics in 1988 before you - the Olympics had people like you doing the sound.
RAZ: OK. That's the archery event from 1988. Let's hear the archery event from the Beijing Olympics in 2008. This is the one that you mic'd.
RAZ: Wow. You actually hear that arrow flying through the air, like the (makes noise)
BAXTER: Exactly.
RAZ: That's incredible. How did you do that?
BAXTER: Well, it all starts with what I expect to hear, what I want to hear, and certainly the sound of sports has been influenced significantly by film and currently by games. So as a child, I remember the movie "Robin Hood," and there was this hyper sound that I remember. And with the archery event, I wanted to hear the sounds of the arrow. I wanted to hear what you cannot hear anywhere else, and that's fundamentally where I start.
RAZ: So what did you - how did you set up the microphones to capture the sound of the arrow flying through the air?
BAXTER: I put the microphone in line of the pathway of the arrow so that you hear as the arrow moves across toward the target, you actually hear it go across the microphone and you get a (makes noise) type of sound.
RAZ: Dennis, let's hear another example. This is gymnastics. This is from the Montreal Olympics, 1976. This is a famous moment. Nadia Comaneci of Romania scoring the first ever perfect 10 on the uneven bars. This is what it sounded like.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Watch this. She is really moving well. Another handstand. Look at that, right from the handstand. (Unintelligible).
RAZ: OK. We don't hear any gymnastics there. We hear the announcer. Let's hear - this is from the Beijing Olympics 2008. This is Beth Tweddle of the U.K. during a qualifying round, also on the uneven bars.
RAZ: That is so cool. You hear everything there. I mean, you could just listen to that on the radio and build a picture in your mind's eye.
BAXTER: Well, exactly what you said. To me, it's somewhat based on the radio, but it's theater of the mind. I absolutely subscribe to the philosophy that you should be able to close your eyes and know exactly where you are.
RAZ: Let's hear one of the, probably the most challenging things that anybody could record. This is rowing. And rowing, I should mention, to capture rowing by video, you have to follow the crew from a helicopter. This is from the Atlanta Games in 1996. This is what it sounded like.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: And in the semifinal, by a .04 of a second behind France, the fastest qualifier. Now, Romania is still ahead Australia (unintelligible)...
RAZ: OK. This is in 1996 Atlanta. You mostly hear a helicopter. Let's listen to the Beijing rowing event from 2008. This is what it sounded like.
RAZ: OK. You actually hear the sounds of the oars in the water, that rowing sound. How did you do that?
BAXTER: I did Atlanta, as well, and it was the only time I got a call from my boss, Manolo Romero, but he said: All I hear is noise. I hear motor noise. And he just said: Fix it. So I took my portable DAT recorder out to the lake, and we followed different boaters, and we basically, you know, recorded the microsound and then put it up into a sampler. Now, that was the first time that had ever really been done. And using samplers in rowing has become standard because of the fact rowing is covered by four or five chase boats in a helicopter. So your entire sound fill is just a wash of noise.
So you don't stand a chance. Some people think it's cheating. I don't think I'm cheating anybody because backing into expectations, you see rowers - you don't see motorboats - and you have certain sounds that you would expect rowing to sound like. So I feel like I'm cheating them on is if I don't deliver those sounds.
RAZ: So you're saying that the rowing event is the Milli Vanilli of Olympic events. This is all lip-synching.
BAXTER: I wouldn't say the Milli Vanilli. What I call, it's basically lie or folly.
RAZ: I got it. OK.
BAXTER: It - the sound is there. It is the exact sound. It's just not necessarily real time because of the laws of physics. You got one noise masking another noise. So it's - as I said, when you see a rower, your mind thinks you should hear the rower. And that's what we deliver.
RAZ: That's Dennis Baxter. He's the official sound engineer for the Olympic Games. He spoke to us from London. Dennis Baxter, thank you so much. And thanks for making the games more interesting.
BAXTER: Thank you, Guy.
RAZ: Those Olympic sounds are worth a closer listen. To hear them, go to our website, npr.org. You'll find them in our Olympics blog, The Torch. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

An Armored car driver leaves on a routine run, unaware that crooks have switched the boxes of gold in his truck for boxes of rocks and tampered with his air brakes. Truck and driver crash off Devil's Gorge into a mountain lake and disappear. Unsatisfied with the easy explanation that the driver ran off with the gold shipment, Renfrew of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and his fellow "yellow stripe" Kelly, investigate further. In the process, they run afoul of gang leader Maxwell, a laughing (but lethal) larcenist who tries to mark THEM for a "brake failure" accident.
Danger Ahead boasts great scenery, land and water action as well as the infamous "spanking song."

The death of a 23-year-old Durango man Feb. 2 in an avalanche near Silverton drives home how deceptively treacherous snow conditions can bury skiers, hikers or snowboarders in an instant.
The tragedy was on the minds of 40 Colorado Department of Transportation employes Thursday as they simulated buried-skier rescues at the summit of 11,018-foot Red Mountain Pass north of Silverton.
Exercises focused on locating, under snow, a beacon that is carried by safety-minded mountain users. They also searched a snow field with 9-foot probe poles.
An average of six people are killed in backcountry avalanches in Colorado every winter. Nationally, during the last 10 winters, an average of 28 people died each year in avalanches.
The avalanche danger in the San Juan Mountains probably will be 3 or 4 on a 1 (low) to 5 (high) scale today because of the current storm, Ethan Greene, director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, said Friday.
The danger level in the San Juans on Friday was a 2 or 3, he said.
Heavy snowfall that quickly puts weight on the existing base creates a dangerous condition, Greene said. High wind that piles a lot of snow on any given slope also creates a hazard, he said.
Avalanches kill fewer people on Colorado highways, but theyre not unknown.
As a guard against tragedy, CDOT maintenance workers responsible for clearing highways and disarming potential slides take a class on avalanches in Silverton every year.
Enrolled in a two-day advanced class this year were CDOT engineers, information technology employees and surveyors.
Now, if they run into a situation, they know they have the skills, said Ann Mellick, one of the instructors from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center who teach the classes. Their caution level will increase, too.
The avalanche center, a state agency, provides information about avalanches in the backcountry for the public online and by telephone, and alerts CDOT to avalanche threats to highways.
The rest of this years curriculum looked at weather conditions, reading the terrain, evolution of a snowpack, snow stability testing, handling explosives, personal safety and creating an avalanche forecast for a highway.
New snow, severe change in temperature and high wind increase the risk of avalanches.
Six of the 16 people killed by avalanches on Colorado highways were on Red Mountain Pass three of them were CDOT snowplow drivers.
All the fatalities occurred before 1992, when CDOT and the avalanche center began collaborating to predict conditions and avoid tragedies.
Monitoring snow accumulation, its water content, wind and temperature help officials determine what avalanche paths are likely to run and threaten highways, said Kyle Lester, maintenance superintendent for CDOT District 3.
Silverton Mountain Ski Area has its own avalanche forecasters and ski patrol, said Aaron Brill, who developed the 1,800-acre resort north of Silverton.
We share information about potential hazards, Brill said. All our ski runs are avalanche paths, so were particularly alert.
Many mountain passes in Southwest Colorado contain numerous avalanche corridors, but Red Mountain Pass holds the national distinction of having the most avalanche paths with the possibility of hitting a highway.
CDOT keeps seven passes, all more than 11,000 feet elevation, open in the winter. Other passes are not kept open.
Movement in an active avalanche corridor indicates that lesser slides are liable to run. CDOT shoots the path with explosives to bring down snow.
We like to say mitigate an avalanche, Mellick said. We really cant control them.
CDOT dispatches three-member crews to trigger slides with explosives. The team can use: 5-pound charges set by hand; a truck-mounted avalauncher that uses pneumatic pressure to fire 2.2-pound rounds; a 105 Howitzer leased from the Army that can fire 40-pound missiles up to seven miles; a helicopter that drops 30- to 50-pound bombs. CDOT doesnt own the helicopter.
Once snow is on the highway, workers move in with snow blowers, bulldozers, graders and loaders. Snow blowers can move 3,500 tons of snow per hour if its fluffy stuff. If snow is wet or dirty filled with rocks and trees heavy equipment does the job.
Paul Wilson, a highway maintenance supervisor, is working on 29 years with CDOT, virtually all the time in Silverton. He has 18 years in avalanche work.
Wilson has an avalauncher on his truck to fire, with compressed-nitrogen, the torpedo-shaped missiles with fins.
We try to hit rock ledges because the concussion loosens more snow than if the round lands in the snow itself, Wilson said. We calculate elevation, angles and nitrogen charge.
All avalanches involving fatalities are investigated, but nonfatal accidents tend to be underreported, the avalanche center said.
The chances of surviving after being buried in an avalanche depend on the circumstances, avalanche center director Ethan Greene said.
The brain dies within four to six minutes without oxygen, he said. But the position a person is in and the availability of oxygen can prolong life.
But you can say that chances drop precipitously after five minutes, and the chances after 30 minutes is 40 percent, Greene said.
Two types of avalanche are common. A slab avalanche occurs when stronger snow overlies weaker snow, and a loose-snow avalanche happens when surface snow has little strength.
Human-triggered slab avalanches typically are two-feet deep, are about half the size of a football field and can reach 20 mph in a matter of seconds.
Loose-snow avalanches typically occur in the spring when surface snow warms and loses strength. They usually start beneath a cliff or a tree when a blob of snow falls, knocking more loose.

A callus is an abnormal thickening of the top layer of skin, which is composed of the natural protein, keratin. Calluses can form on areas that are repeatedly exposed to friction or pressure. They are usually painless or only mildly painful.
A corn is a small, well-defined, thickened area of skin that forms on the toes. Corns put pressure on the underlying skin against the bone. They are usually inflamed and painful.
Calluses and corns form as protective pads of skin in response to repeated friction or pressure. Causes include:
Calluses—Any activity that applies repeated friction or pressure to an area of skin, including:
- Lifting weights (hands)
- Using tools (hands)
- Playing a stringed instrument (hands)
- Running long distances (feet)
- Kneeling to lay carpet or tile (knees)
- Walking on hard surfaces without shoes (feet)
Corns—Any activity or condition that applies repeated friction or pressure to the skin over toes or other bones, including:
- Wearing ill-fitting shoes
- Bunching of socks around toes
- Socks with seams that rub against the toes
- Foot abnormality causing a protrusion that rubs against footwear
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase the risk of calluses and corns include:
- Professions or physical activities that cause repeated friction or pressure on the skin
- Wearing ill-fitting footwear
- Foot deformities, such as bunion or hammer toe
Symptoms of calluses include:
- Rough, thickened area of skin
- Painless or slight degree of pain, burning sensation
- Yellow or reddish in color
Symptoms of corns include:
- Small, usually painful bump over bony prominence, on the side or the top of the toe, or between toes
- Yellow or reddish in color
The skin where a corn or callus has formed will be examined. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and visual observation of the corn or callus. They are easily distinguished by:
- Location—Corns usually only form over bony prominence, on the toe, or between toes; while calluses can form over any area where there is rubbing
- Degree of pain—Corns are usually quite painful, while calluses are usually painless or only slightly painful
A scalpel may be used to remove layers of the skin to make sure that it is a corn or callus, rather than a wart .
Treatment of calluses and corns usually include self-care and medication. In severe cases, minor surgery may be necessary. People with diabetes or circulatory problems should always see a doctor or podiatrist for treatment. Self-treatment may lead to severe infection in these individuals.
For calluses:
- Wear gloves, thick socks, or padding to protect your skin.
- Some calluses need to be thinned. Thin the callus by rubbing with a pumice stone while bathing.
For corns:
- Wear properly fitting shoes.
- Remove bunching of socks, irritating stitching from socks, or any other irritant.
- Thin the callus by rubbing with a pumice stone while bathing.
- Try using doughnut-shaped corn pads, which may relieve pressure on corns.
Applying keratin-dissolving medication (such as salicylic acid) can help dissolve calluses and corns more quickly. Apply medication carefully, since it contains acid that may damage nearby healthy skin.
Minor Surgery
In severe cases, calluses and corns may need to be shaved off with a scalpel. More extensive surgery may be needed to correct foot deformities that cause extremely painful or debilitating corns.
To prevent calluses:
- Avoid activities that apply repeated friction or pressure to the skin.
- Wear gloves, thick socks, or padding over the affected area of the skin.
To prevent corns:
- Wear properly fitted shoes.
- Wear properly fitted socks with no irritating stitching.

"HOT, HOT, HOT" was the screaming headline (in red ink) at the top of Page 1 of the June 30-July 1 Weekend issue of The Rolla Daily News. "No relief in sight to heat wave" was the subheadline.
"HOT, HOT, HOT" was the screaming headline (in red ink) at the top of Page 1 of the June 30-July 1 Weekend issue of The Rolla Daily News. "No relief in sight to heat wave" was the subheadline.
In that report, exactly midway through the year 2012, the news staff showed how hot it was with a photograph of cookies that were literally baking on the dashboard of the editor's car. Another, smaller photo showed a staff writer eating one of the cookies.
There was no relief of any consequence for weeks to come after that mid-year report. Although some rain has fallen, and the temperature has fallen, Missouri remains in moderate to severe drought, and that is why we are picking the heat and drought as the No. 1 news event of 2012 in Rolla.
Our other top news events are:
2. Election year
3. Drugs and other crimes
4. Completion of school construction
5. City council controversies
6. Library renovation and changes
7. Islamic Student Center/Mosque dedicated
8. New S&T chancellor
9. Some hopeful signs in business
10. Parks and recreation fiscal cliff
1. HEAT AND DROUGHT: The heat and drought threatened to hinder our community's Fourth of July celebration. Despite repeated burn bans, lifted briefly each time there was a sprinkling of rain, fireworks were not banned with the exception of sky lanterns, devices that lift into the air as a candle heats the air inside an envelope and float away on air currents.
The 2012 drought, severe as it was to creeks and ponds, important to the area's cattlemen, was not severe enough to require rationing of water in the city limits. Rolla Municipal Utilities officials assured the public the aquifer that feeds the wells was not going dry.
Rolla held on until rains fell and the temperature moderated. What 2013 holds for us worries some people, while others figure it will all even out and we could have a problem of flooding instead of drought. Time will tell.
2. ELECTION YEAR: The municipal elections were held in April. The primary and general elections were held in August and November, respectively. Just three election days out of the 366 days of the year, but they took up a whole lot of attention throughout the year.
The city, school and hospital elections in April weren't too controversial and there were only a couple of surprises. Steven Leonard unseated incumbent Stan Spadoni on the city council. In the school election, Rodney Southard was edged out by Greg Stratman. Southard asked for a recount, but he was edged out again.
There was plenty of controversy in the primary and general elections, thanks to the statewide races.
Owing to a strong Republican turnout, Gary Hicks unseated Charles "Bud" Dean on the Phelps County Commission. Hicks resigned his city council seat effective Dec. 31 and Sue Eudaly was appointed by Mayor Bill Jenks to fill his post until the April 2013 election.
3. DRUGS AND OTHER CRIMES: Police Chief Mark Kearse was a busy lawman throughout the year, and a good part of his time was spent trying to get people to understand the danger posed to the community by something called "bath salts."
Through repeated presentations to the council and interviews with the newspaper, the chief worked to get the message across to parents and their children that what was posing as "bath salts" was really a deadly synthetic drug that would change lives for the worse if smoked, snorted or ingested.
He also worked to get prosecutors and legislators to take action to get the stuff off shelves and the sellers prosecuted.
Rolla police raided a business called The Pleasure Zone a couple of times and took other steps to prosecute. Law enforcement agencies joined together on a billboard campaign against drugs in October. There's still work to do to fight drugs and here at year's end, Chief Kearse is still at it.
Drugs were just a part of the crime picture in Rolla in 2012. For instance, at least two suspects stole two utility vehicles and one four-wheeler from a motorcycle shop on Highway 63 south in January. In February, police announced they suspected it was part of a large crime ring operating across the state.
More crime? On Jan. 11, A Slice of Pie was burglarized. Cash was taken. No pies were missing.
Want even more? The Rolla Federal Credit Union on Forum Drive was robbed Oct. 17; Ricky R. Whitby Jr., 25, of Rolla, was arrested without incident.
That's just the tip of the crime iceberg. Look for the month-by-month recap coming up in Monday's issue of The Rolla Daily News for more crime of the past year.
4. COMPLETION OF SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION: Rolla High School and Rolla Middle School additions were worked on throughout the year.
These were paid for with proceeds from what was called a "no-tax" bond issue approved in 2010. Rolla Junior High School received the first attention with a large addition completed and dedicated in 2011.
The RHS and RMS additions were dedicated at open houses held in September.
5. CITY COUNCIL CONTROVERSIES: The Rolla City Council just couldn't get its fill of controversy.
On Jan. 2, the council's citywide ban on smoking anywhere in town where people are paid to work took effect.
"Lights out in Rolla" was the main headline on the first weekend paper published after the ban took effect.
Rolla police said they were prepared to give out tickets to smokers if necessary.
Then on Jan. 4, the Rolla City Council began debating an ordinance that would ban the tossing of candy from parade floats.
"I think it's just crazy," said Glenn Gibson, of Rolla, who said he had marched in the parade with other veterans and had been a spectator with his grandchildren.
On Jan. 17, the council approved a final reading of the candy ordinance, passing it 7-4.
"It's a safety issue," Mayor Bill Jenks said.
Councilman Steven Leonard returned to the smoking ban controversy later in the year, suggesting that the council take another look at the ban, because six bars are hurting financially.
He suggested a 9 p.m. exemption for bar patrons over 21 years of age and told the council the bar owners would support that. That set off Councilman Tony Bahr, who told Leonard he was overstepping his bounds by floating ideas to the bar owners without discussing them with the council first.
Two weeks later, the council declined to make any changes in the smoking ban.
6. LIBRARY RENOVATION/CHANGES: Retired UMR Dean Robert L. Davis began the year as the interim director of the Rolla Public Library, succeeding Jeffrey Courouleau who had served notice he was leaving at the end of 2011.
The library partially and temporarily closed starting Jan. 30 for renovation. The main wing closed for painting and recarpeting.
Cathy Smith, an educator for 32 years, started as the new library director on June 4.
Library Patron Appreciation Day and Open House was held in September. Plaques of appreciation were given to former library board member Larry Bowen, owner of The Reader's Corner, and Robert L. Davis.
7. ISLAMIC STUDENT CENTER/MOSQUE DEDICATED: Rolla has changed much, and it continues to change, especially in the area of diversity. That diversity exists in all areas of life, race, creed, color, national origin and religion. Early in the year, those changes were exemplified in the opening of a new building.
A growing Muslim population in Rolla led to the construction of a new mosque and Islamic student center in Rolla. Grand opening was held Jan. 20.
A spokesman for the center noted that Rolla has for many years had a student center with a mosque for worship, but he said the new facility would help attract more Muslim students to Missouri S&T who are seeking engineering and technological education.
8. NEW S&T CHANCELLOR: Dr. Cheryl Schrader was announced as the new chancellor of Missouri S&T, the first female chancellor of the university in its 141-year history. She took over April 2.
She came to Rolla from Boise State University in Idaho where she was vice president for strategic research initiatives. She had also been the school's dean of the College of Engineering for seven years.
In April, Schrader gave an interview to the paper about her busy new life in Rolla. She noted she is now proud to be a Miner.
She gave her first State of the University address Oct. 3, noting the accomplishments and challenges facing the campus.
"I proud to be leading a campus that's on the move," she said.
9. SOME HOPEFUL SIGNS IN BUSINESS: In January, Cyndra Lorey, executive director of the Rolla Regional Economic Commission, said a couple of companies were interested in building industrial facilities at the Rolla National Airport, bringing in at least 80 new jobs.
Dollar General said it had no plans to build a store in Doolittle, but later said it did.
Brewer Science is expanding at Hy Point Industrial Park by buying a former beer distribution building and converting it to the company's Global Logistics Center.
Ground was broken for the Mo-Sci Precision Materials facility.
In September a 100-plus-acre piece of property located along Highway V near Rolla, which will become home to the future Hy Point West Industrial Park, received the state's designation as a Missouri Certified Site. The site is the 14th in the state to date to be called a Missouri Certified Site for industrial development.
10. PARKS AND RECREATION FISCAL CLIFF: Funding of the city's parks and recreation department continues to loom as a future problem. It was talked about several times at council meetings, but no action was taken.
In March, the council talked about cutting back on park maintenance to save money. Later, several areas of parkland were left unmowed. Thanks to a hot, dry summer with little vegetative growth, the city got by with that.
The council recently approved using money from The Centre's reserve account to subsidize its operation. Money will continue to be collected for that reserve account through the end of 2013.
Council members, notably Councilman Louis Magdits, have spoken about the need to come up with a sustainable plan to fund The Centre. So far, nothing has been done.

'Cats top Denver, to battle UMass Lowell in regional hockey finalBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 29. 2013 11:41PM
MANCHESTER - Call it Hockey East North.
The No. 2 seeded University of New Hampshire knocked off Denver, 5-2, on Friday night in front of 8,049 fans at Verizon Wireless Arena to earn a date against UMass Lowell Saturday night.
The Wildcats and River Hawks play at 6:30 for the NCAA Northeast Regional championship. The winner advances to the Frozen Four in Pittsburgh April 11 and 13.
Casey DeSmith, a sophomore goalie from Rochester, made 31 saves and kept the Wildcats in the game after they trailed 1-0 and 2-1 after the first period.
Juho Olkinuora had 33 saves for Denver.
The Wildcats won their three games with UMass Lowell this season, but the teams last met on Dec. 1.
Their next game, a 2-0 win over Northeastern, started the River Hawks off on the three-and-a-half-month-long run that carried them to the Hockey East regular season championship and tournament title and into tonight's game.
UNH improved to 20-11-7 and Denver closed out its season at 20-14-5.
"Certainly they were opportunistic," said Denver coach George Gwozdecky.
UMass Lowell, the top seed here, is 27-10-2 after Friday night's 6-1 win over Wisconsin.
UNH, up 3-2 going into the third thanks to a couple of late second-period goals, had a great opportunity to extend the lead with a five-minute power play in the final frame.
Denver junior forward Nick Shore was called for a game misconduct for contact to the head on an open-ice hit on Kevin Goumas. Shore was ejected from the game and UNH went on the power play.
The Wildcats, playing without Goumas or another of their leading scorers Grayson Downing, were unable to sustain pressure on the power play.
Not to worry.
Senior John Henrion lifted a shot under the crossbar to finish off a nice bit of passing for a 4-2 lead with 11:11 to go.
The Wildcats then did some timely penalty killing of their own. They killed off two consecutive Denver power plays, including 34 seconds of a five-on-three.
A couple of minutes later, the Pioneers pulled their goalie for an extra attacker and Casey Thrush threw a backhander into the net for his second goal of the night.
The Wildcats, back in the NCAAs for the 11th time in the last 12 years, have won their last four first-round games, three of them here.
Denver jumped on UNH for three goals in the first nine minutes of the game when the teams played in Denver in late November On Friday night, Daniel Doremus took advantage of a UNH turnover and put the puck over a sprawled DeSmith to open the scoring just 2:24 into the game.
Thrush answered that with a goal at 5:39. Freshman defenseman Brett Pesce put a shot on Ulkinuora and Thrush was all over the rebound.
Denver freshman Quentin Shore made it 2-1 after another UNH turnover in tis defensive zone. Nick, Quentin's brother and a draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings, took the first shot and DeSmith saved that one. Quentin put the rebound over DeSmith's left shoulder.
The Wildcats tied it again with a power play goal with 5:26 left in the second period.
With Denver's Larkin Jacobson in the penalty box for crosschecking, UNH put lots of pressure on the Pioneers and had a couple of chances in close before a penalty killer lost his stick.
The Wildcats then set up patiently and sophomore Trevor van Riemsdyk scored with a low shot from out front.
Five minutes later, UNH had its first lead of the night.
Thrush drew his second penalty of the period and the Wildcats went back to work. Just as the penalty ended, defenseman Brett Kostolansky shot from the point. The rebound bounced to the right and junior Dalton Speelman quickly put it behind Olkinuora and it was 3-2 with 22 seconds left in the period.
UNH and Denver played a wild one during Thanksgiving weekend. The Pioneers took the 3-0 lead early and still led 4-2 at the start of the third period. But the Wildcats scored four unanswered and ended up with a 6-4 win.
Goumas and Downing each had a hat trick in that one.
Denver won the last NCAA tournament game between the two teams. The Pioneers knocked off UNH, 4-2, in a Regional final in Amherst. Mass., in 2005.
They went on to win their second straight, seventh overall and most recent NCAA championship.
