Denver Center Theatre Academy Retrospective
As our Denver Center Theatre Academy turns 20, we asked a few of our 30,000 former acting students to reflect on what the Academy meant to them. Enjoy!
Brendan Doyle (right)
In the summer of 1993, age 11, I had just completed my first year at Denver School of the Arts, and my plan was to spend as much time as possible with my best friend Emily Frembgen over the summer, walking dogs and selling lemonade. Emily and I spent a good deal of time playing in rehearsal studios at the Denver Center Theatre Company where her mom Mary worked. Emily and I would create these fabulous performances, mostly lip-syncing to Annie, Cats or Les Misérables. After rehearsing for a few minutes we would invite various people working in the offices on the main floor to watch. Among the audience members in attendance were people like Tam [Dalrymple Frye, Academy Director], Luanne [Nunes de Char, Teacher], Brigita DuPree and Danny Tamez. This was introduction to the Denver Center Theatre Academy.
The following summer I began taking classes as a teen with Emily. Soon Emily moved, but I continued to take performance classes every summer from the age of 13 to 16. Along the way I met many of the people I still get to work with every day. Stuart Gibbs and I were lucky enough to be in a summer teen production of The Frogs together when I was 13, and the following summer I was lucky enough to act with Brandon Kruhm in La Dispute. Later that summer Brandon and I worked with Stuart again in My Friend the Painter, where we met Erin Ramsay. I remember Allison [Watrous, Associate Academy Director] from that summer as well, because she taught us that African folk song that we still sometimes sing at camp. I just remember those summers as being so exciting and fun, and I couldn't wait to start working on another show.
At the age of 17 I started assistant teaching with Academy. It was the first summer that we worked on the third floor, prior to the remodel. I remember fondly getting to teach with January LaVoy, and at the time she became such an amazing role model for me. I really respected her and what she was doing with her life, and I knew that whatever I ended up doing as an adult I needed to be passionate about it.
After pursuing a photography degree, I realized one summer while teaching theatre camp that education was the field I truly felt passionate about. I was 23, and I wasn't sure where I was going. I turned to my skills that I had acquired from teaching theatre and became a paraprofessional at a school in Denver. During the summer I would still teach theatre, which was always the highlight of the year. I had created so many tight friendships with my coworkers, and I loved working at Academy because I could always be myself.
I recently completed my degree in elementary education and I am now ready to become a first year educator. To say that this would be possible without everything the Denver Center has done for me would be untrue. I am so thankful to everyone who has helped me become the educator I am today. I'm also happy to call the Academy a second family. Over the last 18 years I have been honored to work with so many amazing actors, artists and educators. I'm also pretty lucky to still be making up musicals in the rehearsal studios in the Newman Center all these years later. Here's to going Platinum. I hope to write another letter like this 20 years from today.
Sam (Samantha) Reiter
When I first came to the Denver Center, I was 15years old. I had just completed my freshman year of high school, and it had been a year of disappointments. I had auditioned for every show, only to find my name absent again and again from every cast list. When I asked my high school theatre program's director what I could do to get cast the next time, I was told, "Well, Sam, you're just too short to play against anybody."
Between this explanation and the exclusion I felt from the drama club as a whole, I was on the verge of giving up theatre entirely. But then my mother enrolled me for a teen acting class at the Denver Center, where I met the woman who turned everything around: Rita Broderick, a local Denver actress who would become my mentor.
She encouraged me to continue to pursue theatre; she went beyond the regular expectations of a teacher by giving me the opportunity to volunteer as an usher at the Denver Victorian Playhouse, where I worked for three years afterward. She also wrote my recommendation for the summer Intensive program at the Academy.
It was during the Intensive that I met Allison Watrous [Associate Academy Director], another significant influence on my story, without whom I would likely not be pursuing theatre professionally. After observing my scene work in class, Allison told me to enroll in the Romeo and Juliet performance camp. The Academy pushed my financial worries about taking this class aside by providing me with a full scholarship, and the following two weeks were some of the best I have ever experienced. Allison provided for me the chance to grow and perform, while simultaneously assuring me that I could, in fact, act professionally if I wanted to, and I shouldn't let my high school experience hold me back from trying. "Certain questions were asked for certain reasons," I remember her saying in response to me recounting my lack of experience.
She was one of the first teachers to make me feel like I had potential.
Because of my work on Romeo and Juliet and the opportunity for summer work that the Academy gave me, I was able to audition for and perform in the National Theatre Conservatory's rep performance of Ah, Wilderness! in April 2011. For me, this was the opportunity of a lifetime, and I was and am incredibly grateful to have been a part of it.
Due to the Academy and its staff, I have continued to pursue acting and directing, which compose my major at Illinois Wesleyan University. I plan to do theatre professionally upon graduating and pursue theatre for development, acting, directing, theatre education as a teaching artist, and community-based theatre during my career path. The Academy taught me that theatre makes a difference in people's lives. The gift they have given me is one that I can and will pass on to others throughout my life.
Andy Jaramillo
I remember that Allison Watrous [Associate Academy Director] was the first theatre teacher I had ever learned from outside of high school, and how my introduction to the Denver Center Theatre Academy through the Two-Week Teen Intensive acting course also served as my introduction to a lifelong pursuit of theatre.
At this Intensive, my camp group was introduced to Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, Kenneth Lonergan's This is Our Youth, and many other plays that captured our attention and moved me to seek out Theatre Education when I went to college. If theatre has taught me how to critically examine the world around me, then the Academy's Teen Intensive provided me with my first glance.
Since then, the staff of the Academy has given me the chance to grow as an Theatre Educator by welcoming me to work in the Children's Summer Series, where the two-week "Musical Madness" camps have allowed me to work with and learn from some of Denver's best Theatre Artists and Educators. I remember helping our young students to devise a musical involving "Cell Block Tango," twin Elvis', and a Burrito. I remember when a 5-year-old approached me on my first day teaching a musical camp and asked me if our group could do Macbeth in Space, and if she could be a bunny rabbit Lady Macbeth.
As a teacher, I have not met a single student in the Academy's programs that has gained anything less than a memorable and exceptional glance into the beauty of the world around them. As a lifelong student of theatre, I am thankful that I continue to gain so much from this incredible place.
Lauren O'Brien
The 2011 summer production of Robin Hood at the Academy is one that I'll never forget. I remember the hilarious times during rehearsals with Alison Watrous and Andrew Schwartz. Hannah Speights and I would sit at our news anchor desk and introduce ourselves as Jane Rather and Barbara Fitzsimmons time and time again, unable to keep ourselves from cracking up. It was such a challenge to get through that scene without breaking character, but the element of play with the cast was so high, it didn't seem like work at all. That production taught me what it means to be an actor. It means some discipline and hard work at times, but total outrageous fun for the rest of it.
Said Mohamed
One of my favorite memories was my first day at the Academy and it was conservative basic class with David Saphier and that was my first acting class ever and we were doing character objectives and scene analysis. I realize I had never before enjoyed myself doing anything as much as I did in that class. It was fun and awesome feeling that I fit in here. I can't really describe it but I would look forward to that one hour class every weekend. Throughout the years with the Academy, my critical thinking improved and sense of speech and I have enjoyed learning to explore and think outside the box. I believe theatre helps develop a sense of responsibility and opens our brains to think bigger and dig deeper, makes you aware of your surroundings and how we act differently at certain places. I'm glad I came across this great organization.

Arizona Cardinals fourth round draft pick O'Brien Schofield has had to overcome a lot of adversity to get to where he is, including a torn ACL suffered during Senior Bowl practice, leaving his draft status in uncertainty. The Cards took a chance on this guy. Paola Boivin from The Arizona Republic/azcentral.com did a really nice piece on him the other day. I found this video of him during a 2010 combine interview.

Fellowship Program
The fellowships provide an opportunity for clinicians and others to return to the University setting in order to explore ethical issues that arise in the everyday practice of contemporary medicine. Throughout the year, fellows participate in a weekly seminar led by faculty of the Division of Medical Ethics and the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine. Graduates of the fellowship program have, among other things, taken leadership roles in developing clinical ethics programs at affiliated hospitals and other clinical centers, thus furthering the Division's reach and influence. Working jointly with other faculties and programs, such as the Program in Ethics and the Professions, will further expand fellowship opportunities, taking full advantage of the resources of the University.
How to Apply for 2015-2016
The Division of Medical Ethics at Harvard Medical School supports research and teaching on ethical issues in medicine, health, and healthcare policy and practice. The Fellowship in Medical Ethics is open to physicians, nurses, lawyers, social workers, and others in academic fields related to medicine or health with a serious interest in medical ethics and a wish to further their knowledge of the history, philosophical underpinnings and contemporary practice of bioethics.
Fellows attend a weekly three hour seminar designed to explore a wide range of issues, including ethical theory, clinical ethics, research ethics, and selected topics in public health ethics. Most weeks there is extensive reading and a brief paper. During the year, fellows participate in the intellectual life of the Division of Medical Ethics and are eligible to participate in Harvard University courses with permission of the course instructor as well as monthly division Faculty Seminars and various public programs in medical ethics sponsored by the Division.
Fellows must have external salary support. The fellowship fee is $7,000. Most Fellows receive this support from their sponsoring institutions, and The Division of Medical Ethics will assist applicants who would like help approaching their sponsoring institutions with such a request.
Fellows are selected on the basis of their previous academic achievement and the contribution they are likely to make as researchers, clinicians, and teachers in medical ethics. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae and a letter of not more than 750 words, describing the reasons for their interest in the Fellowship, including any particular topics or questions they are most interested in exploring. This letter is an important opportunity for applicants to tell us about themselves, their interests, and their motivations in pursuing training in medical ethics.
Applicants should also provide two letters of reference and a third letter from their supervisor or key senior staff person, demonstrating institutional support for the candidate's involvement in the HMS Fellowship and likely opportunities the candidate will have to contribute to bioethics at their home institution, upon completion of the Fellowship.
Deadline for submission of application materials is March 2, 2015Three copies of all application materials should be sent to:
Professor Mildred Solomon, Fellowship Director
c/o Helena Martins
Harvard Medical School
Division of Medical Ethics
641 Huntington Ave, 2nd Floor
Boston, MA 02115
If you have any questions please contact Helena Martins or 617-432-3041.

THEATER REVIEW (WSAU) I missed one of my favorite Wisconsin holiday traditions. For the last five years I'd attended Wausau Community Theater's open-casting production of "A Christmas Carol." I love this production, complete with carolers and my friends and neighbors as villagers and extras. This year I was in New York for my father's 70th birthday during its four-day run.
This year, as an alternative, I attended Central Wisconsin Area Community Theater's radio play "It's A Wonderful Life" in Stevens Point. It was a delight.
I've watched the movie so many times that I know every word, to the point that I'm aware when the radio-play makes edits or substitutes narration for dialogue. No matter. The gift of this play is that I can close my eyes and picture a perfect, snow-covered downtown Bedford Falls. I imagine the dingy Bailey Brothers Building & Loan. My mind pictures the steam engine coming to a stop and Harry Bailey and his wife getting off the Pullman Car, or Mr. Potter's office and George trying the expensive cigar.
So much of our entertainment today comes from screen-watching... television, movies, our tablets, phones, and internet access. I've heard psychologists make the case that our minds are fundamentally changed; that we've lost some our our ability to imagine. That may be true. The counter-argument is that this radio script has become a hit in England and Ireland, where almost no one knows that Frank Capra movie.
I'm thankful for the radio, where we tell stories that you see in your mind's eye. And I'm thankful for a very enjoyable radio drama. Next year I will have two holiday traditions at the theater.

Coping With Chronic Rheumatic Diseases…The 4 Fs
Medical Author: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Having a temporary condition that is destined to resolve is one thing. A chronic illness, however, has a completely different impact on the lives of patients and their family members. Chronic means that the patient's health is affected by the illness, either intermittently or daily, over an extended and often indefinite period of time. (A chronic illness by the definition of the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics is one that lasts three months or more.)
Although I write as an expert in rheumatic diseases (I am a rheumatologist), the topic of coping with chronic illness is applicable to people and family members who must regularly confront the impact of health problems from any illness.
Many rheumatic diseases, which are illnesses that involve the muscles and joints, are chronic in nature. For example, rheumatoid arthritis typically presents a daily challenge to those afflicted. Some days are better than others, but the morning activities are frequently affected by stiffness and pain in the joints. Breakfast often includes a sprinkling of medications. Simple preparations for the day, such as dressing, can sometimes require the assistance of a spouse. Even efforts to get places, which for most people are straightforward, can present a logistical nightmare.
So, what tips can doctors give for coping with conditions that are so potentially oppressive?
First, the patient needs to be educated regarding the unique features of his or her particular illness, including instructions for how best to take medications and engage in day-to-day activities, with the possible help of disabled-parking passes, braces, aides for daily living, etc. Additionally, there are some basic coping tips that I review with my patients.
In reviewing the following coping measures, keep in mind that each patient is different and these methods need to be adapted to fit each patient's needs, depending on his or her own particular background and health status.
The 4 Fs (Family, Friends, Faith, Forgetting)
Acknowledge your feelings, not only to yourself, but to others. Recognize that being upset about having a chronic illness is normal. Take time to ventilate these feelings and help those around you who care to understand what your feelings are and how they fluctuate. Start with your family members early on. Maintain intimacy with your spouse. Remember, family members are also affected by a chronic illness within the family unit. They can help if they are aware of the impact the illness is having on you.
Family members are often called upon to assist in the patient's daily living activities, such as administering medications, applying support devices, assisting in transportation, etc. They can best help if they understand how you are affected by the condition. Additionally, you will need to understand how your family members feel about your condition and how it is affecting them.
Enjoy your friends! That's what they're for. They also can come in very handy as a source of moral support during difficult periods. Sometimes, it can be very refreshing to review your home situation with an outsider in whom you can confide. Support comes in all kinds of packages, and you never know who's going to appreciate your condition.
Friends can occasionally be called upon to be caregivers and help in many other ways. Make new friends and consider interactive support groups. These might be found online or in your community. Access to further information and tips can come from national organizations, such as the Arthritis Foundation. These groups have as their primary goal helping people like you. They sometimes can even provide political support nationally!
This tip means different things for different people. Search your own faith for inspiration and direction. Reflect on who you are. Look to the leaders of your faith community for guidance and support. They have experience in relating to many people with chronic diseases and in offering helpful consolation.
Also, consider looking into what opportunities might exist within your local faith community for group support. Sometimes, these activities can open the doors to completely new ways to look at yourself and your situation.
Forgetting (not denying)
Learn all you feel you need to know about your condition. Hear what your health care professionals are saying. Become familiar with your medication requirements, the monitoring needs of your illness and medications, and warning signs of problems. Then, take regular time away from your illness and emphasize the capabilities that you do have.

The defining moment in Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird comes when Anne's younger brother panics the night before a school assignment is due.
We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, "Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird."
Too often, we get overwhelmed by the mountains of information we need to understand, sift, organize, express, reorganize, and edit. We get paralyzed. To get unstuck, we need to follow the advice of Anne Lamott's father. Just take one thing at a time.
After all, you can only write one sentence at a time, then only one paragraph at a time, only one section at a time. Why worry about the sentences, paragraphs, and sections you are not writing. Focus on just one thing, and you'll be fine.
Over the years, when I get overwhelmed and stuck, I gather a set of pictures or clips that I need to describe and write about them, one at a time.
When the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington approached, Boston's public radio station WGBH approached me about writing an overview of the march. WGBH was the only radio station to cover the event, live, moment by moment. We agreed that we could tell the march's story–and the larger story of the civil rights movement–by focusing on one moment at a time.
Take a look at WGBH's collection of clips and my annotations. How did we do?
Next time you feel overwhelmed, slow down. Just describe one thing at a time. Take things moment by moment.
Or, to use Anne Lamott's expression, take it "bird by bird."

Rick Perry's lawyers pushed back against a central accusation by Democrats that the Texas governor's office was being investigated about questionable funding for a cancer research project.
The accusations over the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, CPRIT, are tangential to the two felony charges against the longtime Republican governor over his veto of funding for the Public Integrity Unit. His lawyers Thursday called the cancer funding accusations a "red herring."
His lawyers released an affidavit from a former criminal investigator with the PIU to dispel any notion that Perry's veto was related to cancer research funding. In the affidavit, Chris Walling said he was not investigating anyone in the governor's office "during or after" the veto of PIU funding.
"Any suggestion that Governor Rick Perry or anyone associated with him was being investigated is untrue," Walling wrote.
The Texas Democratic Party has been honing in on cancer research funding as a reason Perry -- who's considered a potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate -- vetoed PIU funding.
"It's no coincidence that Perry tried to eliminate the PIU while they were investigating the Cancer Research Institute -- a state institution that gave more than $40 million in taxpayer funds to Abbott and Perry donors," Texas Democratic Party Executive Director Will Hailer said in a recent statement. Greg Abbott is currently running for governor.
Ed Espinoza, head of the liberal group "Progress Texas," was dismissive of the claim made in Walling's affidavit.
"Does Rick Perry's high-priced legal team really expect us to believe that the governor had no interest in protecting his signature project?" Espinoza asked in a statement released Thursday. "This was a scandal-plagued agency that has already seen one of its officers receive a felony indictment for funneling millions to donors of Rick Perry and Greg Abbott."
The case centers on Perry's June 2013 veto of the $7.5 million budget for the unit run by Rosemary Lehmberg, after she refused his demand to resign following her drunken driving arrest and conviction.
Perry addressed the indictment during an event in Washington, D.C. Thursday, saying he is "very confident" that he will be cleared of any wrong doing.
"These are fundamentally principles that are very important, namely a governor's power to veto legislation and funding and the right of free speech," he said at an event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation.
At the time of Perry's veto, an investigation of CPRIT was taking place, however, leading to the indictment of one executive of the program.
"At no time in CPRIT investigation was Governor Rick Perry or anyone from the governor's office a target," Walling wrote.
Perry's attorney, Ben Ginsberg, who also represented President George W. Bush during the 2000 recount, told reporters that "Democrats are trying to make it float up stream," insisting that Perry's indictment falls apart with the release of this affidavit.

The stories in this section reflect a diverse range of experiences voiced by both survivors of domestic violence and their children. These are stories of fear, pain and sorrow, but also of tremendous courage, strength, and determination. Rarely do we hear first hand from survivors who overcame the isolation and shame engendered by their abusers, found a way out, and rebuilt their lives. In their own words, they share their wisdom, encouragement and strength. We thank them for their courage in telling their stories.

Waterford — Four people escaped a fire Sunday afternoon that destroyed a house at 11 Josan Drive.
The fire broke out just before 4 p.m. on the small street off Oswegatchie Road. When the first firefighters arrived, the six-room ranch was engulfed in flames.
Traci Nelson, whose backyard on Dubreuil Drive abuts that of the house that caught fire, said a man in his 50s and his elderly mother lived in the house.
"He came running over and said, 'Call 911, my house is on fire,'" Nelson said. "You could see it from our backyard. It went up pretty quickly."
Nelson said the man moved his mother to the front porch of the burning home before asking Nelson to call 911. She and her brother, Dan Nelson, helped the man get the woman to safety.
Firefighters from all five of the town's fire companies, along with firefighters from New London and the Mohegan Tribal department, responded to the blaze.
"Upon arrival we had heavy fire in the rear of the house," Oswegatchie fire company Capt. John Sylvestre said at the scene. "By that time, all occupants of the house had exited."
Sylvestre said there were four people inside when the fire broke out. Neither they nor the firefighters were injured.
"Our crews began with an aggressive interior attack," Sylvestre said. "But shortly after we began, the whole first floor flashed over."
As some firefighters fought the blaze from the front of the house, others staged on Dubreuil Drive and doused the fire from the rear of the home.
"But we found, as we made an interior attack, that the construction of the house was not conducive to our firefighting efforts," he said.
Sylvestre said that because the house's ceilings were made of plywood instead of drywall, the firefighters could not use their hooks to create vents into the attic, where the fire had spread.
"About 40 minutes into the firefighting effort we pulled everyone out of the building," because the roof was showing signs of a possible collapse, he said.
From that point on, firefighters shifted to fighting the blaze from the outside. The roof, he said, eventually suffered a partial collapse.
The bulk of the fire was under control after about an hour and a half, but crews continued to extinguish hot spots to make sure it would not reignite.
Dan Nelson said the homeowner told him that he believed the fire started because of a furnace problem. Sylvestre said the fire marshal's office is investigating the cause.
Because all five of Waterford's fire companies responded to the fire, crews from Niantic, Montville and Flanders covered the town's stations.

Im sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry!!!!!!!! i promise that this story will be finished soon!!!!
It took me so long to actually get back into this story..... I know you all probably hate me by now. I've been focusing a bit more on my fan fictions at fanfiction.net, and I completely forgot about this, until I got an email from the site.... >./strong>
Here's the chapter that all of you have been waiting for!!!
Chapter 13- A secret cave? With red liquid? And mutant plants? Oh no!!!
The meadow was the same as always, but there was a eerier feeling to it. Why hadn't we noticed this before? Bella frantically glanced around the place, searching for where our sister could have been hidden.
"Where do you think she is, Edward?" She asked worriedly. "I can't trace her scent anywhere."
"Maybe...." I looked at her, and then at the ground. Without even a moment of hesitation, she got down on her hands and knees, staring to dig.
I joined her, and in a matter of minutes, a large hole was dug. It was about 3 feet deep. After a few more scoops of dirt out of the way, it suddenly collapsed, revealing a hollow space under the meadow.
"How the hell was this under here?" I muttered incredulously. I jumped down, and looked around. It was pitch black, too dark for even a vampire to see clearly. I looked back up and motioned Bella down. She jumped into my arms. I set her down, and she began to smell the air for Alice's scent.
"I think I smell something faint.... From that way," She pointed towards the blackness. "Let's go, Edward." She grabs my hand, and we run towards the faint scent. The closer we got to it, the more it smelled like Alice.
And then it hit us.
No, literally, it hit us. The wall.
The two of us fell backwards, Bella landing on top of me. We sit up, and feel the wall that we ran into.
"Are you alright?" It was a stupid question to ask her, but I still wanted to make sure. I felt her nod.
"Figures we ran into something," She sighed. "It's way too dark down here." I stand up, pulling her up with me.
"Let's see if we can dig through this, it seems to be made out of dirt." I suggest, and we get to work. The wall was pretty thick, the more we dug, the thicker it seemed to get. But finally, after what seemed like hours, we got through. And what we found behind it was unimaginable.
Behind the dirt wall was a dimly lit room, filled with all sorts of containers. Kind of like the things you see in science fiction movies where they kept mutated bodies and stuff. Inside was a red, glowing liquid, and different types of plants that were growing in it.
"What is this?" I asked gasping. I clutched onto Edward's arm, creeped out a bit. He shook his head.
"I don't know, but we can't concentrate on this right now. Our main priority is Alice." He led us down the long hall of plants and red substance, before we reached a door. But the it wasn't a normal door, it was a door that was literally glowing black. Like those supernatural tv shows that show dark auras from evil bad guys.
"What the hell..." I muttered. I reached out to touch it, but Edward quickly pulled my hand back.
"What are you doing, Bella?" He asked angrily. "It could be dangerous!!!" I looked at him.
"I know, but Alice has to be in there. Her scent is incredibly strong now," I tell him. "Alice's life is more important than mine, and Jasper is counting on us. So is the rest of the family." He sighed.
"You're life is always more important to me. I'll choose you over Alice always."
"But I won't. My family's life comes before mine, it doesn't matter if I die or get hurt for them." I gazed at the door. "Just let me try, Edward." He reluctantly pulled his hand away, and I slowly reached my hand out to touch the door handle.
And then the door burst into flames.
Yes, it was a bad chapter. And I'm sorry. But another one will be coming on the weekend!!! Next week monday at the latest!
And I'm really really sorry for not updating in like, a year. I'm a fail. =_=

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Investigators have determined the cause of a fire that damaged an east side Green Bay apartment building Thursday.
Firefighters say the blaze in an underground parking garage at Nicolet Apartments on Huth Street was an electrical fire in the engine compartment of a vehicle. Authorities say there was some damage to the building's plumbing, and contractors would be called in to repair it.
The scene has been officially turned over to the companies that run the complex.
All 68 units of the three building complex were evacuated as firefighters fought to keep the fire from spreading to the upper parts of the building.
Residents were able to return to two of the three buildings on Thursday – except for the 40 or so people who live in the 24 units above the garage where the fire started. The American Red Cross has been helping those residents find places to stay.

text: Full disclosure I was REALLY nervous to watch this. Nirvana is my favorite band and it's already hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact none of these teens were alive when Kurt Cobain died, 20 years ago next month (a bunch of them were pretty shocked to learn Cobain committed suicide). But reactions were mostly favorable, and I don't have to write a "kids these days" or "when I was your age" rant. And to be perfectly honest, I don't know why that guy is in a meadow in only his underwear in the "Heart Shaped Box" video either.

5 Stocks Insiders Are Loading Up On
Alexza Pharmaceuticals
Another stock in the biotechnology and drugs complex that insiders are buying up a notable amount of is Alexza Pharmaceuticals (ALXA), which is focused on the research, development, and commercialization of products for the acute treatment of central nervous system conditions. Insiders are buying into weakness here since this stock is off by 10% so far in 2012.
Alexza has a market cap of $53.4 million and an enterprise value of $38.7 million. This stocks trades at a price-to-sales of 1.17. Its estimated growth rate for the next quarter is 21.4%, and for next year it's pegged at 22.4%. This is a cash-rich company, with a total cash position on its balance sheet of $28.32 million and total debt of $13.64 million. After you back out the debt, Alexza has $14.68 million in cash on the books.A beneficial owner just bought 179,041 shares, or about $145,000 worth of stock, at 80 cents per share. It looks like this purchase was part of a private placement for Occitan Capital management, which is a 10% owner of Alexza. From a technical standpoint, ALXA is currently trading below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock dropped from its November high of $1.48 to a recent low of 51 cents per share. After hitting that low, the stock has rebounded to a recent high of 99 cents, and it now trades t around 73 cents. If you're a bullish on ALXA, then I would consider looking for long-biased trades once this stock breaks out above 80 cents per shares with big volume. Look for volume that's near or well above its three-month average action of 1.02 million shares. You could also buy it off any weakness and anticipate the breakout with a mental stop just below 70 cents per share. I would then add to any long positions once ALXA takes out its 50-day moving average of 89 cents per share with heavy volume.

SPRING SEWING for SUMMER SOARING
The planning for our third Spring Sewing for Summer Soaring kite making retreat in Parksville is going
well. This year we are very pleased to have Sharon Musto from Alberta lead a class. Sharon has won many
kite awards both nationally and internationally for both sewing and appliqué.
Returning instructor Paul Horner joins Sharon. He has been an instructor each year of our retreat and is well
known for his dedication and skill in putting together colorful and striking kites. Paul's project will require no
sewing, so those who don't sew can still come to Parksville and leave with a very unique kite.
(Details about his project will be announced in early January).
For further information, Kite-Makers-Retreat-2013

John Peterson will step onto a very large stage at the Zurich Classic Thursday afternoon. It's a big time PGA event that will attract national sports reporters and thousands of golf fans.
The game's newest star, Bubba Watson, fresh off his win at The Masters, will highlight the field. Television cameras will beam the action into homes and sports bars across the country. And, the winner of this little affair will pocket a cool $1.15 million, a purse just as delicious as the grilled oysters served on the course. It's been quite a journey to get here for Peterson, who just a year ago wasn't much different from your typical LSU student. He enjoyed hanging out with his buddies and frequenting his favorite night spot, Bogie's Bar.
"That's a pretty good estimate," smiled Peterson, "We like to go to Bogie's and have a good time with those guys. We were normal college kids and life is sort of different now. I've now turned pro and have cameras in my face."
The one thing that made the Fort Worth, TX native a little different was his spot on LSU's golf team. He maximized that opportunity to the best of his ability last June, accomplishing a feat the school hadn't seen since the start of World War II. Peterson became LSU's first NCAA individual national champion since Earl Stewart in 1941, with Fred Hass Jr. being the only other man to win the crown in 1937. Peterson fired a 5-under at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, OK to defeat UCLA's Patrick Cantlay by a single stroke.
Cheering from home and alerting Baton Rouge media every step of the way was none other than Bogie's owner, Aaron Saulnier, affectionately known as "Mugsy" by everyone. "Mugsy" had befriended and started promoting Peterson long before his life changing victory. And, while campaigning for an LSU football star is pretty easy, considering the sport owns the town, doing the same for a somewhat unknown golfer was kind of noble.
"He started calling you boys at WAFB. Yeah, he pretty much got my name out there," Peterson laughed.
While the sports team was certainly aware of what was transpiring, "Mugsy" was definitely hammering home the point. He perhaps thought his buddy should've been leading the entire newscast. And, that continued after Peterson won his crown. All you had to do was glance at the large, illuminated Bogie's sign outside the bar. It read:
"I got a girlfriend three days after that went up."
While the good times at his favorite watering hole rolled on, that relationship quickly ended in the drink. Peterson jokes long-term relationships simply aren't for him, including Miss Billboard.
"Yeah, I had to drop that a few days later."
But, he isn't breaking things off with the game he loves anytime soon. The 23-year old Peterson has dreams of following in another LSU star's footsteps. David Toms won the Zurich in 2001, topping star Phil Mickelson to booming chants of "L-S-U! L-S-U! L-S-U!" Even before teeing up his first ball, Peterson could still feel the home course advantage.
"I've got plenty of purple, plenty of gold this week at the TPC. I hope the chants are out there. I hope they're loud. I could use all the support I can get," gleamed Peterson.
And, along with all those chants come more "cameras in the face." Tuesday afternoon at a Zurich news conference, Peterson took the podium to a large gathering shortly before the main attraction, Watson.
"They had me in that media room and I've never sat in front of 30 cameras and six people before. There were more cameras there than people," he explained.
Peterson acknowledges the more cameras he sees the more relevant he is in the game. He hopes to make it a common occurrence. And, as he marches into his professional career, Peterson has settled into Baton Rouge to stay. Where did he decide to live? Where else? He bought "Mugsy's" house.
"Yeah, I cut him a check. It was a pretty big check. He should be thanking me. Maybe he should put my name up, you know, on a sign outside the house," Peterson added.

MEMPHIS, TENN (WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks lost their fifth straight game to Memphis last night, 90-to-80 on the Grizzlies' home floor.
The Bucks scored only 51 points in the first three quarters, while shooting 29-percent during that stretch. That allowed the Grizzlies to go up by 15 going into the final period – but Memphis was not shooting that well, either, as they out-shot Milwaukee 41-to-35 percent for the night.
The Grizzlies controlled the inside, with a season-high 56 rebounds to Milwaukee's 44. Zach Randolph had a game-high 17 boards, and he led the Grizzlies in scoring with 15.
Brandon Jennings missed his first eight shots, but he recovered enough to score 26 to lead Milwaukee. Bucks' guard Monta Ellis, who was playing in front of family and friends from nearby Mississippi, made 1-of-14 from the floor and had just four points.
Coach Scott Skiles said the Bucks had quote, "a ton of open looks – and we just missed them." It was not the type of performance the Bucks wanted to show to an E-S-P-N audience – and they've had very few opportunities to be on a national broadcast in recent years. Memphis extended its winning streak to three games.
Milwaukee is now 6-and-6 on the road, and they're 1-and-1 in a four-game, five-night marathon. The Bucks get a breather today, before playing the Celtics in Boston tomorrow night and Cleveland at home on Saturday night.

Midday movers: Barrick Gold, Sprint, Citigroup
Stocks are lower at midday as gold slumps for a second straight session.
Gold is off BIG TIME!
I understand gold as a hedge against inflation, but gold ahs moved up 300 percent during a period of cumulative inflation of maybe 25%. Seems way way overdone, and the markets agree. The gold pushers have pushed fear. Sure, in my opinion we will have inflation due to the feds policies, but gold has moved AHEAD of the inflation. What sense does it now make to buy gold AFTER the horse is out of the barn. The market thinks NONE. Gold has moved on speculation, just one more bubble. And the gold pushers are happy to profit on people's fear and to create the bubble. Think 1980.

The community thinks...
Money making creativity needed!!! by Florida Voyager on 08/13/2008. Trim: 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S430, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Style, comfort, ride, audio sound.
Cons: - Frequent brake downs (ac sensors, tire pressure sensors, transmission). Have to say, problems started at 65-70K - Costly parts and service (oil change or "A"-"B" service - $260-340, set of tires every 20K - $1100, brake sets $300-500/rear-front, wipers - $65/pair, license frame - $100, cup holder - $100, labor - $100/hr
Overall review: Excellent stylish car for low or moderate usage. - For cars more than 50K would highly recommend extended warranty. - Get rid of it at 100K (no one gives extension for warranty after this point)
