What got you interested in Sherlock Holmes and when?
I had seen a couple of movies in my teens and twenties and liked the mysterious Victorian settings. I've always liked mysteries, and I've always like the Victorian era in fiction for its atmosphere (cobblestone streets with gas lamps, fog, people vanishing down deserted streets). In my 30s and 40s I stumbled onto the Canon although I wouldn't have known to call it that. I just enjoyed the stories and novels. And then my husband and I started watching the many TV series that were appearing and reappearing on PBS. By then I was hooked.
Did you get encouragement from friends and family? Did anyone question your interest?
I wasn't encouraged or questioned. My husband had enjoyed Sherlock Holmes stories in India (where he's from), and when I started reading them, it made for some great conversations between us. We like to talk about great reads. My older brother (who has passed on) also was a big Holmes fan, and one Christmas I bought him an anthology of, I believe, the complete collection of stories and novels. He was thrilled.
Who is your favourite screen Holmes and why?
Jeremy Brett, hands down. He fits Doyle's physical description so well. And, psychologically, he captures that combination of brilliance and weird neurosis that seems to typify Doyle's depictions of this famous sleuth.
When did you first decide to write a book in the field and why?
It crept up on me. The brother I mentioned above had moved to England, and I visited him and his lovely wife when they were living in Luton, just outside of London. During the visit, they took me to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. She and I had so much fun, donning the deerstalker cap, peering through the magnifying glass, holding the pipe, taking pictures of each other in silly poses. Later, on the plane home, I reflected that it would be fun to write a story about Holmes through the eyes of a young Victorian girl. But I was involved in other books at the time, so the idea took a little while to gel.
How do you find the Sherlock Holmes community, any really positive or negative experiences?
Oh, they are wonderful! I had no idea just how widespread the fandom for Sherlock is! Or how many Sherlock Holmes societies there are. When my middle grade mystery was published, I had a reading up at a wonderful book store, Hein's Books, in Placerville, California, and I discovered that a Sherlock Holmes society with a huge membership meets there every other month. And I've met some wonderful authors through MX Publishing, as well as Belanger Books.
It's very exciting to be part of these groups. People are very helpful and supportive, and an embarrassment of riches in the form of more Sherlock Homes mysteries has opened up for me.
I'm in the middle of a rewrite of a cozy mystery (non-Sherlockian) right now, but when I finish and start submitting it, I want to throw more energy into supporting some of these remarkable authors and their books.

PAXTON — A Paxton man was arraigned Monday afternoon on charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated domestic battery for allegedly holding a female household member's head under water, strangling her and fracturing her nose during a domestic dispute at their home.
Ford County State's Attorney Andrew Killian announced the charges Monday against Demetrius D. Couzens, 40, who listed an address at 227 E. Orleans St.
Couzens was charged Monday in Ford County Circuit Court with one count of attempted first-degree murder, a Class X felony, and two counts each of aggravated domestic battery, a Class 2 felony, in connection with the alleged Jan. 9 incident.
Charging documents allege that Couzens tried to force the head of a female household member under water in the home's bathtub, knowing that doing so would "create a strong probability of her death." During the same incident, Couzens allegedly struck the female in the face with his hand, fracturing her nose, and strangled her.
Upon Killian's request, the Ford County Record has agreed to withhold the alleged victim's name until after Couzens appears in court for a preliminary hearing at 11 a.m. Jan. 31.
Couzens remains at the Ford County Jail in Paxton on a "no-bond" hold, Killian said. Couzens is also being held on a parole hold from the Illinois Department of Corrections related to a 2013 conviction for aggravated domestic battery in Kane County.
The Illinois Department of Corrections' website shows that Couzens also had a prior conviction for attempted murder in Winnebago County in 2004.
If convicted of attempted murder, Couzens faces a sentence ranging from 20 to 80 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections, Killian said. If convicted of aggravated domestic battery, Couzens faces between seven and 14 years in prison.
During Monday's arraignment, Couzens requested a public defender and attorney Harvey Welch of Urbana was appointed to represent him.
Earlier this month, a Ford County judge granted an emergency order of protection against Couzens. The petition was filed by the victim of the Jan. 9 alleged crimes. Couzens is due in court to respond to the petition on Jan. 31.
Five days before the alleged domestic dispute, Couzens pleaded guilty in Ford County Circuit Court to illegal transportation of alcohol by a driver and received six months of court supervision and fines.
The Paxton Record embraces discussion of both community and world issues. We welcome you to contribute your ideas, opinions and comments, but we ask that you avoid personal attacks, vulgarity and hate speech. we reserve the right to remove any comment at its discretion, and we will block repeat offenders' accounts.

1 Latin America Argentina Belize Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Costa Rica Cuba Ecuador El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Mexico Nicaragua Panama Paraguay Peru Uruguay Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) Working environment All Latin American countries but two are party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and/or its 1967 Protocol. Cuba and Guyana are not party to either treaty. The region hosts hundreds of thousands refugees, asylum-seekers and other people of concern to UNHCR. Most of them are from Colombia, which also has one of the largest internally displaced populations in the world: more than 280,000 were registered in 2007 alone. Most Colombians who fled violence and abuses of human rights in their country have found refuge in Ecuador, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Panama and Costa Rica. However, very few of them are registered as asylum-seekers or refugees. UNHCR recently conducted surveys in Ecuador and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to get a better understanding of the number of unregistered Colombians in these countries. The surveys revealed that between 130,000 and 140,000 Colombians live in refugee-like situations in Ecuador. In the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the survey was conducted only in border areas, where the number of Colombians was estimated at 118,000. In Central America and Mexico, efforts to improve border security, guard against terrorism and counter human and drug trafficking have led to stricter controls on the movements of undocumented migrants. While the number of asylum-seekers has remained stable, it
2 appears that the number of interceptions, detentions and deportations has increased. All Central American countries participate in the Puebla Process, a regional forum on migration, which reflects the importance these countries attach to migration issues. In this context, UNHCR will continue to keep asylum/migration issues on the agenda and seek to ensure that safeguards for refugee protection are respected in migration policies and practices. In Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, Governments maintain positive attitudes towards refugees human rights, while relative political stability and the support of former refugees who are now in prominent political positions also help. In Bolivia, the recent violence is of concern to UNHCR. The Office and the UN Country Team are closely monitoring the situation. UNHCR is also working with government counterparts to monitor borders in neighbouring countries to assess population movements and identify people in need of international protection. Refugees and asylum-seekers in the southern Latin American region benefit from a legal framework that is mostly in line with international protection standards. National refugee commissions look into asylum applications and seek durable solutions for refugees. Moreover, the southern Latin American countries have ratified relevant international and regional instruments on human rights. In southern Latin America, recent developments reflect governments commitment towards the welfare of refugees. In Brazil, a growing number of refugees benefit from government welfare programmes, scholarships, legal assistance, emergency accommodation and self-reliance opportunities. Refugees living with HIV and AIDS can avail themselves of government programmes on the same terms as nationals. In Chile, the Ministry of Planning is now fully involved in refugee affairs, and refugees are benefiting from the public welfare system. In Argentina, asylum-seekers and refugees benefit from public programmes, including a micro-credit fund that helps urban refugees in the capital. Strategy The Mexico Plan of Action and the Agenda for Protection will remain the framework for UNHCR s operations in Latin America. The main goals of this UNHCR Global Appeal 2009 Update 361
3 UNHCR organizes vocational training for Colombian refugees in Panama, taking into account the traditional skills of indigenous people. UNHCR/M. H. Verney strategy are to strengthen protection and find durable solutions for those of concern to the Office. The Cities of Solidarity pillar of the Mexico Plan of Action helps the Office to support the local integration and self-sufficiency of people in need of international protection in medium-sized and large cities. It aims at providing health care, education, employment and housing for refugees on par with services provided to nationals. To aid refugees self-sufficiency, UNHCR promotes their access to the labour market and implements income-generating projects. In this context, national and local governments play an important role by instituting refugee-friendly policies and allocating funds to assist the displaced. The Borders of Solidarity pillar of the Mexico Plan of Action helps UNHCR to address protection concerns at borders primarily those with Colombia. Local integration along the borders is promoted by closely linking assistance programmes to national and regional development plans. The Solidarity Resettlement programme of the Mexico Plan of Action is of particular importance as a regional solidarity and responsibility-sharing mechanism. It benefits a limited number of mostly Colombian refugees who face protection risks in their countries of asylum. Almost 400 people were resettled in Argentina, Brazil and Chile in In 2007, the programme was expanded to include refugees from outside the region. Of particular significance is the resettlement of 103 Palestinian refugees in Brazil in Another 100 Palestinian refugees were resettled in Chile in Uruguay and Paraguay have also signed framework agreements with UNHCR to become resettlement countries. Uruguay is expected to resettle some 15 refugees in The coming years will be crucial for the establishment of reception capacity and local integration schemes in these countries. Experience gained from resettlement programmes elsewhere will be of great importance in making the new programmes a success. In Mexico, meanwhile, UNHCR is promoting the establishment of safeguards to identify people in need of international protection among the many undocumented migrants in the country, including victims of trafficking and smuggling. To reach this objective, UNHCR has established strategic partnerships with national and civil society organizations. In 2009, it will work closely with the Government on the adoption of a new refugee law. The Government has also expressed willingness to establish a firm local integration framework for refugees. In Central America, UNHCR will focus on strengthening legislation and the national capacity for refugee protection within mixed migratory flows, foster the establishment of civil-society protection networks, seek durable solutions 362 UNHCR Global Appeal 2009 Update
4 for refugees through local integration, and build institutional capacity to decide upon asylum claims. In 2009, part of UNHCR s Bureau for the Americas will be moved from Headquarters to Panama to bring decision making and support closer to the field and to maximize cost-effectiveness. One of the objectives is to improve coordination and implementation of a comprehensive regional response to situations of displacement, including an all-inclusive strategy for the Colombia Situation. Another is to improve UNHCR s engagement with regionally based UN partners, NGOs and other institutions. The Regional Office in Panama will be better equipped to interact with the UN Regional Director s Team in Panama, part of the UN s new Regional Centre for Latin America and the Caribbean. The Office will also provide technical support to other UNHCR operations in Latin America. UNHCR s regional office in Argentina covers operations in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. Constraints Throughout the region, unemployment and limited access to labour markets hamper the local integration of refugees and their search for self-sufficiency. These constraints also affect those refugees who have benefited from the regional resettlement programme. In many countries, migration control measures adversely affect those in need of international protection. In some parts of the region UNHCR faces difficulties reaching displaced people in remote areas. The wide dispersal of people of concern is another problem. In Mexico and Central America, governments give low priority to refugee protection. A major challenge is to ensure access to asylum procedures for unaccompanied and separated minors, as well as for victims of trafficking at Mexico s southern border. Another constraint is a shortage of NGOs working with refugees. In Brazil, the country s large size makes programme and border monitoring expensive. In the other countries bordering Colombia, the deterioration of security in frontier areas is a serious concern. Operations UNHCR s operations in the countries that are part of the Colombia Situation are described in a separate chapter. The number of refugees and asylum-seekers in Mexico and Central America stands at some 5,300. UNHCR will seek to ensure that asylum-seekers within mixed migratory flows are identified and have access to fair and efficient asylum procedures. In this context, UNHCR s presence at Mexico s southern border is essential. UNHCR will also focus on addressing problems that hamper the local integration of refugees. The office in Mexico will concentrate on overcoming impediments to the regularization of status, including non-recognition of diplomas and certificates and difficulties in accessing public services. UNHCR and its partners will strengthen cooperation with relevant institutions to help refugees enter local labour markets. In Cuba, although the Government offers free health care and education to refugees, local integration is unlikely. Resettlement and voluntary repatriation are therefore the only durable solution options. UNHCR will provide material and legal protection for the small number of refugees in the country until solutions can be found for them. In 2009, the last 75 Sahrawi students in Cuba are expected to return to the camps in Tindouf after finishing their studies. In Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, the number of refugees is expected to rise further as a consequence of the Colombian conflict. At the end of 2007, the region hosted some 5,500 refugees and 1,800 asylum-seekers a big hike from the previous year. Apart from protecting and assisting new arrivals and people with specific needs, UNHCR will continue to seek durable solutions for people who cannot return home. The Regional Office in Argentina will work to strengthen national and regional networks for the protection of refugees and asylum-seekers and the promotion of their rights; this is particularly crucial in border areas. It will also focus on the implementation of national laws and the strengthening of refugee status determination (RSD) procedures and institutional structures. A major aim is to consolidate the existing resettlement programmes in Chile and Argentina and develop resettlement capacity in Uruguay and Paraguay. In Brazil, which hosted close to 4,000 refugees from more than 70 countries at the end of 2007, the Office will advocate for the formulation of public policies on refugees and access to social welfare programmes for them. UNHCR will continue to consolidate its protection and assistance functions. Strengthening the resettlement programme will be another key objective for the Office. The Specialized Migratory Forum of MERCOSUR is an important vehicle for progress on the migration agenda in southern South America. It provides a unique opportunity for UNHCR to advocate for refugee protection. In 2009, the Office will continue to engage governments on the issue of mixed migration through this forum. Latin America UNHCR Global Appeal 2009 Update 363
5 Financial information UNHCR s financial requirements in Latin America have increased significantly in recent years. This is mostly due to the expansion of the supplementary programme for IDPs in Colombia. The Annual Programme Budget has also risen because of the increase in the number of people of concern being assisted and the reinforcement of protection for unregistered individuals in refugee-like situations in the countries neighbouring Colombia. Furthermore, the cost of improving staff security has added to financial requirements. decentralization of the Americas Bureau from Headquarters, will have an impact on the overall requirements for 2009 due to transitional costs. The increase in the revised 2009 requirements, compared to the initial biennial budget for , is mainly due to the inclusion of unmet needs in Ecuador that were identified in the Global Needs Assessment initiative, and the mainstreaming of resettlement activities into the approved budget. The latter will improve the programme s predictability while resettlement countries take more financial responsibility for the programme.

The 3 Most Important Things For New Septic Tank Owners To Know
Posted on: 29 January 2016
If you just purchased your first house with a septic tank, you need to learn how to take care of your septic tank. Here are three things that you need to know as a new septic tank owner.
Test & Inspect Your Tank On A Yearly Basis
You need to have your tank tested on a yearly basis by a licensed professional. When they test your tank, they can let you know how full your tank is and if all the waste is breaking up properly. This is the best way to learn if sludge is building up inside your tank or if it needs pumped.
You should also make sure that the professional you hire to inspect your tank also checks out everything up top, including the motor, timer, pump, compressor, baffles and alarm. This is the easiest way to spot problems before they start.
Pay Attention To What You Plant Near Your Septic Tank
You also need to take into account the location of your septic tank and your septic tank field when planning how you want to landscape your house. You should not plant trees or large bushes that have deep root systems near your septic tank. The roots may grow into the septic tank, and may even try to use the septic tank as a source of water.
The only things that you should plant above your septic tanks are grass and flowers. Both grass and flowers have shallow root systems that will not interfere with your septic tank.
Additionally, you shouldn't compress the soil above your septic tank too much. It is probably not the best spot to put a swing-set or your patio furniture. Ideally, your septic tank will be located in an area of your yard or property that you don't walk on or use extensively.
It Matters What You Put Down Your Drain
Finally, you need to pay attention to what you allow to go down your drain. There are many things that will not mix well with your septic tank.
To start with, you don't want to put any harsh chemicals down your drains, such as insecticides, paint thinner or gasoline. All three of these substances will kill the bacteria that live inside of your septic tank and break down the waste products inside of it.
You should also stay away from harsh soaps and try to refrain from using harsh cleaners to clean your sinks, tubs and toilets. Instead, you should try to use more natural based cleaners whenever possible if the by-products will be going down the drain.
Additionally, you need to make sure that the only thing you put in your toilet is toilet paper. You should not put baby wipes, sanitary pads or diapers in the toilets. These products will not break down inside of your septic tank and can cause it to become backed up.
If you have any questions about your septic tank's maintenance, visit Elliott's Septic Service.Share

Total announces challenges of working on Caspian Sea
Lack of offshore drilling rigs creates difficulties for work on the Caspian sea, Eric Meyer, Total's planning development manager, said Nov.21 at the Oil and Gas Week 2014 conference in Baku.
Another problem of work on the Caspian Sea is that the large vessels have difficulty entering its waters and they need to pass the Volga-Don canal, Meyer said.
All these facts limit the possibilities of participation of more contractors on the market, which ultimately affects the cost of the projects, in particular the ones realized with participation of Total, said Meyer.
Work on the construction of the first new generation drilling rig for the needs of SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan) was started in 2013. The new rig will be designed for drilling wells at depths up to 8,000 metres and at a water depth of 1,000 metres. The rig construction is planned for 2016.
The cost of a new generation rig construction project in Azerbaijan is almost $1.117 billion. The operator of the drilling rig will be the Caspian Drilling Company (CDC) where a 92.44 per cent share is owned by SOCAR. Singapore firm Keppel FELS Limited is chosen as the plant construction contractor. In June 2013, CDC signed an agreement with this company for the construction work.
The rig will be used for drilling on prospective structures and fields in Azerbaijan, such as the Umid field and the promising structures Babek, Karabakh, Ashrafi and others.
Azerbaijan must build four new floating drilling rigs taking into account the implementation of big projects in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea.

DES MOINES � The offensive prowess of the Cassabaum sisters and a determined defense were enough to get No. 5 Nevada past No. 4 Iowa City Regina in the quarterfinal round of the Class 1A girls' state tournament Thursday at the Cownie Soccer Park.
DES MOINES � The offensive prowess of the Cassabaum sisters and a determined defense were enough to get No. 5 Nevada past No. 4 Iowa City Regina in the quarterfinal round of the Class 1A girls� state tournament Thursday at the Cownie Soccer Park.
Sophomore forward Elli Cassabaum broke a 1-1 tie with a goal off a feed from her younger sister, Kati, 4 minutes, 25 seconds into the second half. The rest of the half was a tense affair as Nevada faced tons of pressure defensively, especially in the final 10 minutes.
But the Cubs persevered, holding off a relentless Regal team for a 2-1 victory to advance to the 1A semifinals for the second year in a row.
�It feels amazing,� Nevada fullback Raegan Saunders said. �We were so excited to do it last year, and we were just ready to come out and do it again this year.�
Elli�s winning goal came when her sister forwarded her a great ball and she dribbled ahead of the Regal defense. She easily punch one past Regina keeper Megan Fackler.
�I think Kati and I work pretty well together at the top,� Elli said. �It was a great pass from Kati and one of those opportunities. It just worked perfectly.�
Elli has made scoring clutch goals at state a regular occurrence. She scored the lone goal in Nevada�s 1-0 state quarterfinal win over Gilbert last year.
�That�s the time to step up,� Elli said. �This is the second time in history that we�ve won a game at state. It feels good.�
But the game was far from over after the big go-ahead Cub goal.
The Regals had back-to-back shots on goal go just off the mark during the 53rd and 54th minutes. During the 62nd minute, Regina had another shot go just over the goal.
The last 10 minute, saw Regina keep up the pressure and get multiple good looks. But with veteran sweeper Danielle Thomsen and Saunders leading the way, the Cub defense made sure the Regals didn�t slip one past Cub keeper Clara Sporrer.
�They�re fast, and they never let up,� Saunders said. �They kept the pressure hard on us and had a bunch of shots on goal, but we kept our composure and made sure we weren�t going to let up no matter what.
Regina�s lone score came 6:28 into the game when Lizzy Deprenger followed up a free kick and nailed a shot into the goal. But Sporrer stepped up with two great stops later in the half � a diving one during the 27th minute and a great deflection 10 minutes later.
�A couple balls came back to me, and I knew I had to get them so we could play tomorrow,� Sporrer said. �It took awhile to get into the game, but as soon as I got confidence and going into the second half I knew I could save them.�
Jessica Helton helped break the early tension for Sporrer and the rest of the team when she answered Deprenger�s goal. Helton dribbled through the Regal defense and placed a perfect ball into the net at the 13:14 mark.
�I just knew I had to come in and help change the momentum,� Helton said. �I got that nice knee to a ball and got it to Michaela (Matuska) and she passed it back to me and I just found a wide-open goal. It got us all pumped up and we knew we could do it.�
The Cubs (13-5) now face a monumental obstacle in the semifinals � top-ranked and two-time defending state champion Davenport Assumption (17-1) at 2:15 p.m. this afternoon at the Cownie Soccer Park.
Assumption was the team that knocked off Nevada in last year�s state semifinals, handing the Cubs a 3-0 setback.
�That was a tough game last year,� Helton said. �They�re going to be really good. But I think it�ll be a good game.�

Iowa City Regina 1 0 � 1

Olbermann: The Once and Former King
By Christine Flowers
Keith Olbermann should be used to this by now. Two-bit, Class B second tier provocateurs can't be terribly surprised when they're disciplined for the umpteenth time. They thrive on reaction, court controversy and have a masterful way of turning justified castigation into unjustified persecution. Among this motley crew of the mediocre, Olbermann used to be king.
For a while, though, he'd been relatively silent. Or, rather, he'd been unnoticed. Deposed from his high profile perch by the much more talented Rachel Maddow, his former protege (ouch), the ex-ESPN turned ex-MSNBC turned likely ex-ESPN nonentity was yapping his inanities to a significantly reduced audience.
But even nonentities can sporadically rear up and roar. And that's what happened this week when Olbermann got into a Twitter battle over Penn State's magnificent kids, the ones who stage the annual "THON" fundraiser which has raised millions of dollars for cancer research over the past four decades.
A young PSU coed, Lisa Aiella DeLeon, tweeted "We Are!" and provided a link to a campus newspaper article describing THON. Olbermann, who somehow has time in his busy schedule to harass young women, responded "Pitiful." When the astounded coed tried to school Olbermann in the noble history of the fundraiser, he responded "PSU students are pitiful because they're PSU students. Period.
"No one has ever accused Keith Olbermann of nuance. His jeremiads against George W. Bush were almost Elmer Gantry-ish in their equal measures of passion and hyperbole. But it's one thing to attack a president who thrust himself into the public eye and who conducts foreign policy with which you disagree, and another to ridicule a young woman who is proud of a charitable endeavor just because you don't like her alma mater.
The fact that you've made no secret of your abject hatred for PSU (because, you know, it recruits and employs pedophiles and pedophile enablers whose names end in "o") gives some indication as to why an innocuous tweet praising the school would get your Depends in a twist.
But in a world where even someone as institutional as Dan Rather can be banished for shoddy work and someone as photogenic as Brian Williams can be furloughed for stealing someone else's valor, Olbermann had to know that his little temper tantrum would elicit a reaction from the corporate bosses.
Frankly, the reaction was mild. A week long suspension from the airwaves and an apology that was as sincere as the confessions from those blindfolded hostages on YouTube videos is not enough to expiate this arrogant blowhard's sins.
Normally, I think we should all get a thicker skin and stop being so easily offended by caustic comments. It's gotten to the point that you need have a contract drawn up with contingency clauses before you voice an opinion on anything more controversial than whether Betty or Veronica is Archie's true soul mate.
But Olbermann is just the most recent in a long line of pundits and public figures who need to have their mouths licensed as lethal weapons and who should bear the consequences of their verbal assaults.
There's Rudy Giuliani, who rather arrogantly pronounced that President Obama doesn't "love" this country the way he, apparently, does. I adore Rudy The Mayor and Rudy the U.S. Attorney, but for a man who had his first marriage annulled because the bride was his "first cousin" and then cheated on his second wife with the woman who (pay attention...) became his third wife, he's not exactly in a position to judge someone else's version of "love."
Then we have some clueless Cleveland anchor using the term "jigaboo" to describe Lady Gaga's performance at the Oscars, causing some to wonder if you can be both racist and an idiot at the same time.I haven't heard that term in a long while, and I think the airhead who used the term didn't understand its cultural significance, but if your vocabulary is that limited you really need to join the Carmelites.
And here in Pennsylvania we have a Supreme Court nominee who forwards an email that depicts an imprisoned black man talking to his wife through a glass partition with the caption "Touching and heartwarming, Merry Christmas to All!"The judge first stated that he didn't remember sending the email, and then, with a straight face, indicated that he didn't think it was racist.He did, it was and he's out.
Which brings me back to Olbermann.While I normally think we need to have a greater deal of tolerance for idiots, I think it's important for society to demand certain standards of decency from those who are given the gift of being heard, whether by sports fans, Ohioans or criminal defendants. This has nothing to do with the First Amendment.This has to do with good taste and better judgment.
So ESPN should just take a page from those wonderful kids at Penn State and do a charitable work: fire Olbermann.

If you are heading into Bryce Canyon National Park from the North/West, you will no doubt pass straight through a cute little touristy town called Bryce Canyon City. This is a cool place to stop on your way into the park. There are gas stations, restaurants, lodging options, and a huge general store where you can stock up on supplies. But even better, there is a small reproduction Old West town called Old Bryce Town, which is really just a themed shopping area. As suckers for all things ridiculous and kitschy, clearly we had to go.
Silly photo ops? Yes please!!
As crazy hot as it was in Capitol Reef National Park, it was as crazy cold in Bryce Canyon (we visited both parks during the last week of June, as a point of reference). But that didn't stop us from getting ice cream!
Proof we were in Utah: free copies of The Book of Mormon!
There was also a really cool shop selling all kinds of rocks and gemstones, for all you budding geologists out there (which I am most definitely not, but my sister loves that stuff so we had to check it out).
However, it was really fun spraying all the rocks with the water bottles they provided so you could see what the rocks look like when they are clean and shiny. It was cool seeing all the colors change.
There were so many souvenirs you could buy, ranging from normal tourist stuff to fancy art made by local artists. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop by Old Bryce Town, but if you are already passing through, it's fun to spend maybe an hour there just being silly tourists. Plus you can't really buy much in the way of supplies inside Bryce Canyon, so if nothing else, stop by to pick up anything you think you might need.
So take the time to stop by Old Bryce Town, because this small cowboy says so! And you can't say no to small cowboys.
