Orange—A sophomore at Santiago Canyon College won the state community college individual golf championship, May 17, in Beaumont, Calif.
Connor Covington posted a 4-under-par score of 140 for two rounds (70-70) on the 72-par, 6,937 yard course at Oak Valley Golf Club to win the 2010 California Community College Athletic Association's men's title. Covington won a card-off to earn medalist honors over Palomar College's Sejun Yoon, who also had two rounds of 70.
Covington's score also earned him All-State honors.
This is the first golf championship for Santiago Canyon College in the school's ten year history.
Covington was an underdog in the state tournament. He was the final individual from Southern California to make the field, finishing in a four-way tie for 12th place at last week's regional finals. There, too, he won a card-off, which qualified him for the championship berth.
Covington is a two-time All-Conference Orange Empire Conference (OEC) selection, and he earned medalist honors at this season's OEC finals.
Covington is a graduate of Villa Park High School.

September 11, 2001: A clear, crisp fall day in Washington, DC, and New York.
I was shooting a routine photo assignment in the District when my Blackberry went off.
"Explosion: Pentagon" the message read. I walked out on the street and looked towards Virginia. Smoke snaked into the air from the direction of the Pentagon. I loaded my cameras into my Jeep Wrangler and headed towards the 14th Street Bridge.
But police had already closed off the bridge so I headed towards Southeast DC and the entrance to I-295, which led through Anacostia towards the DC Beltway.
While waiting at a stoplight near the main gate of the Washington Navy Yard, I saw Marines armed with M-16s guarding the gate — an unusual site. I snapped some photos from the open Jeep before the light changed.
Arriving at the Pentagon, I pulled the Jeep into the grass alongside Columbia Pike. A morning commuter sat by his car. He looked dazed.
"A plane hit the Pentagon," he said. "It just flew into the building and disappeared. Then the explosion."
A light pole crushed the front hood of a taxicab. The driver of the cab said the plane flew so low overhead that it knocked the pole down onto his hood.
I grabbed my cameras and headed a rise to get a better view. Smoke poured out of a gaping hole in the side of the huge structure. An acrid odor assaulted my senses: Burning kerosene and something else — the stench of burning human flesh. I had smelt it before, many years ago in a far off land. It was something I hoped I would never smell again.
For the next 17 hours, I went on autopilot, shooting photos and handing the compact flash cards from my Nikon D1s to a runner who brought fresh cards and a batteries. I would be several hours before another photographer and I working on that hillside would learn that two other planes had struck the World Trade Center in New York and even longer before hearing the news that United 93 had crashed into a field.
My photos would not only appear on Capitol Hill Blue but in newspapers, magazines and web sites around the world.
And it would be early the next day before I staggered home to our condo in Arlington — only about five miles from the Pentagon.
Stuck in the door was a card from an Criminal Investigations Service at the Navy yard. I called the number. He wanted to know why I was taking photos at the main gate the day before.
I explained who I was and gave him the ID number of my Department of Defense press pass. He verified my identity and said he was sorry to have bothered.
"We have to follow up on these things," he said. "It's a bit tense around here."
Yes, it was. I collapsed into bed knowing that life in America had changed on the day before and would never, ever, be the same.
(The video above was produced as my contribution to a local PBS tribute to the first anniversary of 9/11. It was done in the days before high definition or widescreen.)
4 Responses to "9/11: Remembering the day that changed America"
I watched the second plane fly into the tower, heard that the Pentagon was hit; figured everything was ok, after all I had an 80% it missed. Watched the towers fall while talking to my daughter in Florida. Later, my wife called to say she was ok and it was her section hit.
So many, so lucky, so happy, so sad
site / sight? 4th or 5th paragraph depending upon how you count.
Possibly an unusual place for them, but more likely unusual to see.
Please delete this comment when a correction is made or if the original was correct.
I'm not sure it really did change America, actually. It definitely accelerated the creation of the surveillance state, but that was brewing from long before.
The Dow Jones Index dropped quite a bit, but immediately rebounded. The NYC housing market glitched, but no long-term trend started there. International financial markets were barely affected (contrary to what they did to themselves ten years later).
Presidents and Vice Bush and Cheney were chomping at the bit to start a war with Iraq long before then, mostly because (in my opinion) unrest in the Middle East means gargantuan profits for American oil companies. War meant immense popularity for President Bush's father, and to a cheerleader, popularity is everything.
That both soldiers and citizens died more by the response to the attack than by the attack itself (look at how many chose to drive instead of flying, despite the fact that flying is so much safer. Also look at the losses due to security theater as well as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) is irrelevant to them. Don't even look at the local civilian casualties of those wars – It's depressing.
Circuses are more important than bread these days.
The security state was already brewing. Unwarranted searches and seizures were already part of a typical law enforcement playbook. That they now have a new and different justification is only another one in a long line.
The secret 'Star Chamber' FISA court existed before September 11th, 2001, and it's here now.
Still, "It keeps us safe" – except from our own government.
So it might have accelerated the crash of the American Empire. But it certainly didn't cause it.
(Read your Gibbon. Thank me later).
No. Nothing really changed on Sept. 11th, 2001. The ideals of America were already eroding – They've eroded further now. The American empire was falling – It's falling further and faster now.
No. Nothing changed. Might have accelerated things a little.
Four thousand people died. In that same year, thirty thousand people died in car accidents. The next year, thirty thousand more died in car accidents.
The next year, thirty thousand more.
So no. It changed nothing at all.
That's my opinion.
Solid analysis Jon concerning 9/11 as opposed to the greater, protracted deterioration of America over time. Most of us focus on a single event as being the premier catalyst for change, but rarely view things in a broader perspective.
I think our desperate plight as a nation is best summed up by this quote:
"Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game…an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards"…Robert Reich

It's starting to feel a little bit like fall, and a little wet at times today.
But that didn't stop a group of vets from getting together to get a jump start on their pheasant hunting season.
KSFY News joined them on this special hunt.
This is a pheasant hunt called 'Warriors Never Give Up.'
And it all started with the idea to give back.
One of the hunt's founders contacted the UFC's Ryan Bayder and his foundation for support.
Then other sponsors were brought in.
And Saturday, they got a chance to make some vets 'happy hunters'.The vets took in some practice shooting just before the big hunt.
More than a dozen men and one woman took part in the event.
And the UFC's DB Dolloway came out to show his support for vets.
Brett Bastian served in the South Dakota Army National Guard.
He and a friend had the idea for the hunt about a year ago.
And now, he gets to give back with a message.
"That they're not alone, and there's people here who have dealt with similar things that they've dealt with.... I just think that's one of the most important things that we're giving back to our fellow veterans," Bastian said.
DB Dolloway said "seeing these guys, you know, come out and just have a weekend where they can relax and step back from everything they went through. And if me being here helps out with that, then I'm glad to do it."
Vietnam War veteran Mike Whiting said "I just think it's great that these people went to all this bother to show a little bit of pride for the country."
Saturday's hunt brought together vets from many different generations at the Rooster River Hunting Lodge in Flandreau.
There were vets who served in Vietnam, and recent vets from Fort Riley's Warrior Transition Battalion.
Fort Riley's in Kansas.
It provides physical and mental health therapy for wounded soldiers and their families.

A Sandy man was hospitalized for burns on the top of his head and his back after the duplex he lived in caught fire Saturday afternoon and he ran inside to rescue his dog.
The fire was reported about 2:15 p.m. at 250 E. Julie Anna Drive (8295 South).
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Investigators say the accidental fire started in the kitchen, either on the stove or in the oven, said Sandy Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Cline.
Fire officials did not immediately release the man's name but said it appeared he suffered first- and second-degree burns.
Cline said investigators believe the man left the house, but went back in to try and put out the fire with a hose and to rescue the dog.
The man's wife and the dog were not injured, Cline said.
The man was transported by medical helicopter to the University Hospital burn center in Salt Lake City. He was conscious and talking to his wife before the helicopter departed, Cline said.
Only one side of the two-story duplex suffered extensive damage. Firefighters were able to prevent the flames from reaching the building's second residence. Both families have been temporarily displaced by the fire, Cline said.

There are so very many myths about living with cancer, most of them spoken and even believed only by people who have never had cancer. Or who have never even known someone well who had cancer. Most of the popular myths seem to come straight out of Hollywood with laugh tracks or built in tears. A few weeks ago, I received an email that I assume was sent to hundreds of health care providers around the country. It was from a TV producer who seemed to think that I would recognize his name (I didn't) and described a new reality show about people living with advanced cancer. The planned theme is reconciliation and healing of old hurts or wounds. The email asked if I could suggest people in this situation who would be willing to be filmed as they were reunited with someone who had hurt them badly in the past (think absentee fathers or estranged siblings). Can you believe this? I did not respond at all, but I wanted to send a scathing response about incredible intrusion and voyeurism and sadism (a little strong, maybe, but not much).
These thoughts were stimulated by this posting by Ann SIlberman on her great blog, But Doctor, I Hate Pink. Her title is myths about living with terminal cancer, but I think they apply easily to living with cancer at all stages. My experience strongly suggests that we all might make some small changes, rarely make big ones, and just try to live the best we can. Here it is:

Myths about Living with Terminal Cancer
MYTH: You realize the importance of life and set about making dreams happen.
REALITY: You play "The Simpsons Tapped Out" for 8 hours a day.
MYTH: You make sure your insurance/retirement/SSDI/IRAs are set up properly for your death.
REALITY: You chat on Facebook about how cute your greyhound looks with fabric antlers.*
MYTH: You leave stories of your life for your children, complete scrapbooks, and do all those things
that you always thought you'd finish in your free time.
REALITY: What free time? A Hoarders marathon is on.
MYTH: Cancer causes depression.
REALITY: Your only depression is because you can no longer aspire to be on Survivor. You know in your heart you would have Outwitted, Outplayed and Outlasted. Well, maybe not outlasted.
MYTH: You are more understanding of the faults of others, and a lot nicer to people who annoy you.
You are every bit as exasperated as always, but now people feel guilty if they upset you.
Bonus: You can use their guilt to get chocolate.
MYTH: You downsize so that nobody will have troubles dealing with your stuff upon your death.
REALITY: Isn't that iPad/cappuccino machine/sweater just darling? You can never have too many.
MYTH: You travel to all those places you always wanted to see.
REALITY: Airports suck. Let's just go have a double tall mocha. Your treat.
MYTH: You become more focused, organized, and spiritual.
REALITY: You are the same disorganized, sloppy, easily amused, distracted....
Okay, I'm bored now.

Community celebrates reopening after three-month renovation
Mayor Greg Fischer, Shively Mayor Sherry S. Conner, and Councilwoman Mary C. Woolridge joined Library Director Craig Buthod and members of the community for the official reopening of the newly renovated Shively Library. Today's open house included tours and a reception, sponsored by Louisville Gas and Electric Company.
The Shively Library now boasts a new, separate library entrance, more public internet computers, and improved accessibility. A new family restroom, improved heating and air conditioning systems, new carpets, ceilings, and wall finishes help to enhance the visitor experience. New landscaping, paving, and signage increase visibility and curb appeal.
"This is a special day for everyone who knows the importance of the Shively Branch to this community," said District 3 Councilwoman Woolridge. "In three short months, we have been able to transform this branch into a state-of-the-art facility. There are more computers and resources along with better accessibility for those who use this branch and future generations who will come for education and enjoyment."
The three-month renovation and construction project was funded in large part by Councilwoman Mary C. Woolridge ($150,000) and the Library Foundation. Additional funding was provided by Shively Mayor Sherry S. Conner and the Shively City Council ($50,000); Councilwoman Attica Scott and Councilman Rick Blackwell ($10,000 each); and Councilwoman Marianne Butler ($2,000).
"Vibrant, technology-driven libraries that are inviting to people of all ages are critical to building a culture of lifelong learning in our community," Fischer said. "This beautifully renovated and rejuvenated facility meets that test and will be an even stronger resource for our citizens."
"This is the new Shively Library," said Library Director Craig Buthod. "We are all so proud."
More than 60 students from nearby Mill Creek Elementary School attended today's event and presented Councilwoman Woolridge with thank-you cards. The children were treated to a special storytime, presented by library staff, and a special gift, courtesy of the City of Shively.
The Shively Library is located at 3920 Dixie Highway. More information about the project is available online. For questions about the Shively branch, please call (502) 574-1730.

BLOOMINGTON, IN (WHBL) - If you can move the ball on the ground this well, why pass? The University of Wisconsin rolled past the Indiana Hoosiers 62-14 Saturday. The Badgers rushed for a school-record 564 yards led by Heisman hopeful Montee Ball. He split the Indiana defense for 198 yards on 27 carries and three touchdowns. Ball is now second all-time in the NCAA with 77 TDs. And, he wasn't alone. James White added 161 yards and two scores and Melvin Gordon carried the ball eight times for 96 and a TD. The Badgers didn't need to pass, so first-time starter Curt Phillips only went to the air seven times, completing one of them for a two-yard score. Indiana came into its home game having won two straight and carrying an outside shot to make it to the Big Ten Championship game. The lopsided final verdict means Wisconsin will fill that slot for a second straight year. The 564 yards on the ground topped the Badgers previous school record of 551 set almost 40 years ago.

I drizzled some limoncello over the top in lieu of the sugary glaze. We did like this, though the hour was probably a bit too long. Next time, I'd put a TB of limoncello in the batter, too. Nice with fruit on top (berries & pineapple chunks).

Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins defeated the Worcester Sharks 8-3 Friday evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The P-Bruins got goals from Martins Karsums, Matt Lashoff, Vladimir Sobotka, Johnny Boychuk and two goals each from Matt Marquardt and Mikko Lehtonen. The P-Bruins are back at home at the Dunkin' Donuts Center Sunday versus the Norfolk Admirals at 4:05 p.m. for a Family Game.
The P-Bruins got on the board at the 1:12 mark of the opening period to take a 1-0 lead. Martin St. Pierre had the puck behind the net and left it in the corner for Sobotka. He passed the puck to Karsums in the slot as he scored his fifth goal of the season. Providence went ahead 2-0 at the 3:57 mark, while on the power play. Tuukka Rask played the puck behind his net and dropped it off for Lashoff who skated it up the ice. He left the puck for St. Pierre who fed it right back to him. From the left face off circle Lashoff tallied his third goal of the season. Worcester got on the board at the 7:09 mark. Steven Zalewski netted his second goal of the season, while Mike Morris and Brendan Buckley recorded the assists. Providence finished off the first period scoring at the 16:40 mark. Lashoff skated into the Sharks zone and sent the puck to St. Pierrre at the point. He found Sobotka in front of the net as Sobotka scored his fourth goal of the season. The P-Bruins took a 3-1 lead into the first intermission.
The Sharks pulled within a goal at the 2:15 mark of the second period, while on the power play. Corey Larose scored his sixth goal of the game with Derek Joslin and Tom Cavanagh picking up the assists. Providence answered back at the 4:48 mark to take a 4-2 lead. From the right boards Jordan Knackstedt dropped the puck to Marquardt in the high slot and he blasted it past Worcester goaltender Gerald Coleman for his second goal of the season. At the 12:57 mark the P-Bruins took a 5-2 advantage. Wacey Rabbit had the puck in the corner and worked it to Lashoff at the right point. He sent it to Boychuck at the left point who shot it into the net for his third goal of the season. Providence led 5-2 after two periods.
Worcester once again tried to get back in the game at the 4:18 mark of the third period. Riley Armstrong netted his fifth goal of the season with Andrew Desjardins and Cavanaugh getting the assists making the score 5-3. The P-Bruins score three unanswered to finish off the third period scoring. At the 6:21 mark, Marquardt scored his second goal of the game and third of the season with Knackstedt and Levi Nelson getting the assists.

Rumor Roundup
The High Price of Free Agent Pitching
Ricky Nolasco and Ervin Santana Shoot for the Moon
Think I'm joking? Then you'd have to believe that FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal's sources are, too. As Rosenthal wrote in his lede, the demands being floated by available pitchers might make Tim Lincecum's two-year, $35 million hitch with the Giants a bargain.
Plenty of teams are searching for pitching depth this offseason, and the list of marquee arms on the market is short. Clubs that have struggled to develop their own rotation pieces have the extensions that would-be free agents signed with their original franchises in recent years to thank for the dearth of supply.

Is The Exodus of Wealth From Swiss Banks Accelerating? Hundreds of Billions of Francs to Exit Switzerland: Massive Flight-of-Capital Acknowledged
Financial Privacy Wars
Swiss banks are now expecting withdrawals of hundreds of billions of Swiss francs according to the head of wealth management at UBS, Jürg Zeltner, as a result of steps to stop foreigners using secret accounts to evade taxes. Although a long time coming, this is entirely consistent with the extensive investigations carried out by the ATCA 5000 Research and Analysis Wing (A-RAW) and the mi2g Intelligence Unit (mIU) as well as the Socratic dialogue we have subsequently initiated at the highest level in regard to the flight-of-capital from Switzerland.
Zeltner has essentially acknowledged and criticised international pressure for this large scale capital exodus in his interview with "Swiss Bank." UBS and Credit Suisse — Switzerland's two biggest banks and amongst the world's largest wealth managers — alone may suffer outflows of 60+ billion Swiss francs as a result of accelerating international efforts to crack down on the usage of Swiss bank accounts for tax evasion and avoidance.
Also not immune to the reversing tidal flow are Switzerland's smaller private banks. They are also being affected by the growing international pressure to clamp down on tax evaders and avoiders. Echoing the concern of Zeltner at UBS, a study by the German financial consultancy Zeb Rolfes Schierenbeck (ZRS) estimates that hundreds of billions of Swiss francs may drain away from Swiss banks over the coming few years out of the nearly three trillion Swiss francs held by its offshore banking industry at present.
In recent years, Swiss banks have been heavily criticised as cash-strapped governments around the world have sought to fight tax evasion carried out by their citizens and corporations.

UBS and Credit Suisse
Jürg Zeltner, the chief executive of UBS wealth management, has said the largest Swiss bank would see a drain of 12 to 30 billion Swiss francs, as an increasing number of international wealthy clients run scared from Swiss banks. Some insiders say that this may be an exceeding conservative estimate based on wishful thinking on the part of UBS. In May this year, Zeltner said that European clients took out around 10 billion Swiss francs in the previous quarter from their UBS accounts. He's expecting to see more losses of significant assets adding that the European offshore business could face outflows for "quite a while yet!"
Recently, a former UBS banker was paid 104 million dollars by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for revealing systematic efforts by the largest Swiss bank to help rich Americans evade taxes in their home country, which resulted in UBS paying 780 million dollars in fines, penalties, interest and restitution to settle charges in 2009 that it helped 17,000 US clients hide 20 billion dollars.
David Mathers, the chief financial officer at Credit Suisse, told investors in New York last week that since 2009, Europeans had withdrawn 32 billion Swiss francs from their accounts at the second largest Swiss bank and cross-border transformation including new tax treaties could result in outflows of up to 35 billion Swiss francs over the next few years. This would be more than ten percent of the total European assets under management at the Swiss bank. However, some private bankers suggest that this estimate may yet prove to be exceedingly conservative.
American Pressure
The US is investigating eleven Swiss banks since last year on suspicion of helping US citizens evade and avoid taxes, and in January-February this year, the American authorities indicted Wegelin, the oldest Swiss private bank, for allegedly helping Americans to evade paying taxes on 1.2 billion dollars of their assets.
The eleven banks on the radar of the US tax authorities and the Department of Justice (DoJ) are:
1. Credit Suisse (including Clariden Leu);
2. HSBC Holdings;
3. Basler Kantonalbank;
4. Wegelin & Co;
5. Zuercher Kantonalbank;
6. Julius Baer Group;
7. Bank Leumi Le-Israel;
8. Bank Hapoalim;
9. Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank;
10. Liechtensteinische Landesbank; and
11. Neue Zuercher Bank (NZB).

European Pressure
The accelerating flight-of-capital from Swiss banks over the past two years has been exacerbated by the repeated purchases of stolen Compact Discs or CDs containing details of German and other European citizens' private client data and account information by German tax authorities and their secret services. While these intrusions into European citizens' privacy may have prompted some Swiss bank clients to provide information on previously undeclared assets to European authorities, there has also been speculation that other European citizens may have been moving assets to non-European financial centres such as Singapore, increasingly known as the Switzerland of Asia.
Since August 2011, the United Kingdom and Austria have struck agreements with Switzerland, entitling them to receive:
a. one-off penalty charges; and
b. a withholding tax
on previously undeclared assets held by their citizens in Swiss banks. Switzerland is hoping to conclude similar accords with Italy and Greece at present. However, the tax deal with the biggest economic power in Europe — Germany — is still pending ratification in that country, as it faces opposition from Social Democrats who see it as too lenient on alleged German tax evaders.
According to the agreements hitherto inked between European powers and Switzerland, foreigners with non-declared funds in Switzerland can keep their anonymity, but their assets are taxed by Switzerland, which in turn transfers a portion of the earnings on their assets to their country of origin.

Swiss Bankers' New Safe Haven: Safe Deposit Boxes Full Of 1,000-Swiss-Francs Banknotes 17th August 2012]
Switzerland has been the centre of off-shore private banking and wealth management for more than a hundred years. It has been extensively used for capital preservation strategies by ultra rich individuals and corporations during times of war and peace. Switzerland now finds itself at the epicentre of an evolving financial world war.
The Swiss simply don't have the muscle to engage on equal terms or to fight back with the tax and justice authorities of the world's only remaining super-power, the United States, and the largest European economic power, Germany. Multiple pressures from around the world on tax evasion and the potential for flat-rate taxes are all making Swiss banks less attractive with each passing day.
Up until recently, the Swiss banks' vow of silence was so attractive to rich foreigners eager to avoid taxation at home that they did not mind that their accounts did not generate any income for them as long as the capital was preserved and the currency held its purchasing power. The income generated via their Swiss bank accounts went primarily to the Swiss banks and the clients had relatively little income to show for their deposits. However, now Swiss banking secrecy is no longer there and some would argue that it is gone forever, a new narrative is being born in regard to private wealth management.
The experts in private wealth management state that the new centre for off-shore private banking and wealth management is on-shore! So, transparency is increasingly the order of the day. Does the future for ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) seeking Swiss-style private banking lie in on-shore customised private wealth management solutions configured as Private Investment Offices with significantly reduced fees?

I came to WAOW TV 9 in 2008 and love my job which is easy when you have a great product! I've been at TV 9 for 5+ years but I come from an extensive background in marketing which adds up to 20+ years of experience. I like to share with my clients the diverse positions I've been in to help them understand I'm in it for them.
I sold radio at a multi station corporation for 5 years which really broadened my marketing knowledge. I spent 3+ years selling land for a developer in WI and MI which threw a whole new learning curve into marketing. I took on the challenge of being a business owner myself and developed a mail order cheesecake business, learning the need to be smart spending advertising dollars (no matter how big or small the budget). I was in charge of the marketing for a large corporation which helped me understand the accountability of spending someone else's dollars. NOW I get to help plan marketing strategies of area businesses and watch them grow!
I was born and raised in Wausau, and have three grown boys that are happily building their lives and creating memories.
One of the things I hear a lot in talking with new clients is, "TV is too expensive." I would love to meet with you and show you the benefits of TV and how affordable it really is!

Using The Staircase
The staircase in a home isn't usually seen as a destination. But with a little bit of imagination, this area can provide an opportunity for nook-making that gives purpose to an otherwise wasted space.
I came across this design trend while perusing Spanish-language blog VINTAGE + CHIC. In old cities, people make use of every square inch of their smaller homes, which is something those of us in New York apartments can certainly understand. Check out these ideas, and let us know about your own.
17 Comments
Maybe I'm being overly cautious, but the main photo, with the chairs on the landing, and the photo wtih the slippers/shoes on the steps, just don't t seem safe to me.
The set-up in the first photo is ridiculous. There looks like there's barely enough room to get by the armchairs. And I think it's a bad idea to put delicate things like vases on the floor anywhere, particularly at the bottom of a staircase.
Yup, that main pic is totally unrealistic. First, there's barely enough room to get up the stairs, and if you were carrying anything, you'd be screwed. Second, while it looks good, there is no practical value to having those chairs on the landing. No one will ever sit there. A shallow chest of drawers or console table would have a much smaller footprint and would provide some function.
The third picture is just gorgeous! I'm saving it and sharing it with my in-laws who will be building again next year.
And I personally can't stand anything on the stairs so naturally, those pics of the slippers and vases on the stairs really irked me.
And pic 6 hardly seems safe, haha!
i agree with nerdnick....the third picture is my fav also...i would maybe add a big plant...the landing seems like it is spacious and could handle it.
I agree, the first picture is a bit ridiculous. And shoes on the stairs are a pet hate of mine, both from an aesthetic point of view and from a safety point of view (personal experience).
*sigh* I wish I had a landing.
I have an open staircase in my living room, going up to the bathroom and bedroom. I have a number of small plants going all the way up. The stairs are wide enough so that the plants aren't in the way.
The first photo with the chairs takes away the space you need to get up and down the stairs - especially if you are carrying stuff like clean clothes! A simple bench would have been MUCH better.
The sixth photo - well I can easily see someone coming up or down in a hurry and breaking them. Why do people put breakables right where there is a big chance they will get broken?
The seventh doesn't seem safe or logical. Either someone will trip and fall or the slippers are going to keep getting kicked off. I spy what looks like a table on the true landing - why not just put the shoes in a colorful circle underneath?
The first pic (especially -- and a few others, too) would totally freak out my Firemen uncle and cousin: any blocking of a means of egress is a huge no-no, and a real hazard.
I'm with you, Trish! I actually think the first picture is fabulous!!!! I could easily get around it!
Actually, the reason I clicked on this article was that picture. My mom's condo has almost that exact set-up - a really wide mid-staircase landing like that. Best part is, it's under a huge skylight!!! How fantastic would it be to put a chair or two there and be able to read/relax?
I agree w/ the others - The first photo, besides being a safety hazard, is just plain crowded for easy passage on the staircase. Can you imagine trying to carry laundry up/down those stairs w/ a cat or dog underfoot - or worse, luggage to go on a trip?
Who's gonna want to sit on that wee landing anyway?
My friend has a nice-sized landing in her house, and she uses it for yoga. She keeps a small trunk there that houses her yoga props.
If the first picture is not staged and is actually from someone's house, my guess is that it's an experiment that will be abandoned.
We have an open staircase with a small landing. So far, I use it as our art gallery - for the art we make. My daughters' art is "hung" there, as well as our own experimentation with canvases and paint. We wouldn't hang them where they were in the spotlight...haha.
But after seeing that first picture, I think a comfy child's chair and a few hanging lanterns might make it a little reading spot of their own. The benefit to a landing? One side is facing the UP stairs and doesn't pose a fall risk.
I just don't get the whole shoes-on-the-stairs decorating idea. It looks cluttered and unsafe. And it messes up the beautiful geometry of the stairs.
Some people feel the need to furnish every inch of space, regardless of the usability.
midmodfan -- Very true - people don't get a few open areas are a good thing.

He tells U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, ""I feel safer (on a scooter)... When I got Spider-Man, the studio said, 'You can't ride a scooter anymore. It's dangerous...' so they hired me a car and I got in an accident on the first day. I got rear-ended into the middle of a big... intersection. I was stopped and someone (hit me).""

Dick Cheney is Correct about Obama and Terror... Here's One Example
This weekend, The Obama Administration went full bore in the media challenging Dick Cheney's assertion that Obama is not serious about terrorism. President Obama tells us to look at his record. Okay, let's do that. Before he told Janet Napolitano and Robert Gibbs to tell you that the capture of the crotch-bomber by a citizen not any police or intelligence authority proves the system works, Obama loosed a few Yemeni from Guantanamo. Here's the description of a couple and a link to the whole stunning story for you. If Obama is serious about stopping terrorist attacks on the U.S., why would he release these dedicated Jihadists? Democrats and the rest of our country have a lot more to be concerned about than Evan Bayh and other Democrats bailing their weakened party. We need a President who is serious about fighting terrorism and willing to take the negative publicity as did President Bush for a larger cause.
The Doctor. Ayman Batarfi has been a committed jihadist for decades. After fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, he became an orthopedic surgeon and lent his skills to al Qaeda and the Taliban. He tended to wounded -jihadists -during the Battle of Tora Bora in late 2001. During his administrative review board hearing at Guant�namo, Batarfi made a number of admissions, including that he met with Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora (when the terror master was the most wanted man on the planet) and had authorized the purchase of medical equipment for a �Malaysian microbiologist.� This was Yazid Sufaat, who was the head of al Qaeda's anthrax program. Batarfi also worked for al Wafa, a �charity� that was an al Qaeda front. Both the United States and U.N. have designated al Wafa as a terrorist entity.
The Money Man. Jamal Muhammed Alawi Mari was among the first men taken into custody after the September 11 attacks. Mari was arrested on September 23, 2001. Pakistani officials found a suitcase filled with clothes and $11,300 in cash in his possession and boxes containing �lists of chemicals and pharmaceuticals and handwritten notes regarding the characteristics of different military weapons, explosives and attack scenarios.� It was an interesting collection for a man who claimed he was just a charity worker. Mari reported to the head of al Wafa, who had close ties to Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar. U.S. government files allege that Mari was once a top official in the Baku, Azerbaijan, branch of al Haramayn. That branch is known to have played a leading role in funneling supplies and recruits to the jihadists fighting in Chechnya.

911 happened on Cheney's watch!
Our national security adviser at the time got a promotion to Secretary of state.Did Rick sleep through that, or was he dizzy from spinning like a whirling dervish,
or so high on feeding peoples fears and anger with distortions and pretzel logic that he forgot to fulfill his civic duty with honest and thoughtful analysis?
? Just wonder-in!

Passing Thoughts
- Thursday, March 25, 2004
Sign in a Chinese Pet Store: "Buy one dog, get one flea..."
I live in my own little world. But it's OK. They know me here.
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
I am a nobody, and nobody is perfect; therefore, I am perfect.
Everyday I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
How come we choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
Snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled.

NRLC: Obama Scam Paves Way for Abortion Mandate
Posted on | February 13, 2012 by Lisa Correnti |
The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) released a statement on Friday saying the Obama contraception compromise is a scam that could pave the way for abortion coverage in all health care plans under the "you must pay, but nobody pays" logic. Legislative Director Douglas Johnson says this logic can also be used to mandate health plans to cover assisted suicide in states in where it is legal.
"President Obama today promulgated a scam that, if he is re-elected, will allow him to mandate that every health plan in America cover abortion on demand," said NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson. "The same twisted logic will be applied: By ordering health plans to cover elective abortion, health plans would save the much higher costs of prenatal care, childbirth, and care for the baby — and under the Obama scam, if a procedure saves money, then that means that you're not really paying for it when the government mandates it." read more
NRLC supports enactment of the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (S. 1467, H.R. 1179) (http://nrlc.co/zKiSSV), which would allow health providers to decline to provide abortions or other specific medical services on the basis of religious belief or moral convictions.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
How to Treat the Flu
Herbal Remedies continued...
Some research shows elderberry extracts might help reduce flu symptoms when given within the first 24 to 48 hours of symptoms. There are no known side effects of elderberry extract supplements when taken for up to five days. However, parts of the elderberry plant itself should be avoided as it can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Other herbal remedies that may help when you have flu include:
- Lozenges containing licorice and slippery elm (may help ease sore throats and coughs from post-nasal drip)
- Ginger tea (for fever and to thin mucus)
One word of warning: Evidence on the effectiveness of most herbal supplements is mixed. The Centers for Disease Control has concluded that at this time there is no scientific evidence that any of these remedies are effective against the flu.
Also, potency varies widely from product to product. That makes it hard to know if an herb really works -- or if you're getting enough of it to make any difference. Experts recommend sticking with those that have been certified by a third party, such as U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) or NSF International. It's also a good idea to check with your doctor before trying an herbal remedy, as some interact with other medications. And be sure your doctor knows of everything you are taking -- prescription and over-the-counter medicine and alternative treatments.
Vitamin and Mineral Supplements
As with echinacea, evidence for vitamin C is more robust for treating colds than the flu. It does not appear that vitamin C can help prevent a cold. But while the use of vitamin C to treat a cold is controversial since evidence is quite mixed, some studies suggest it can help shorten duration of cold symptoms when taken at high doses – 1,000 to 3,000 grams daily. Note that high doses of vitamin C, particularly over 2,000 milligrams a day -- may cause side effects, such as diarrhea or upset stomach.
Likewise, studies on zinc have been mostly done on people with colds, not the flu. Some studies suggest that zinc has antiviral properties and that sucking on lozenges containing zinc gluconate may help ease cold symptoms and speed recovery. But overall, research on zinc has been inconclusive. The FDA recommends against using zinc nasal products because they have been associated with a potentially permanent loss of smell.

This Week's Headline-Making Stocks That Are Poised to Move
Richard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The third trading week of the New Year is now over. By the erratic movement of the indexes, investors have realized that volatility has not gone away, even though fiscal cliff jitters are a thing of the past. However, there's also good news. Strong housing and job reports have given investors reasons to assume more risk, helping propel S&P 500 to its 5-year high.
Then again, it didn't hurt that corporate earnings are arriving better than expected. And it's just the beginning as several more names are expected to report this coming week. But let's take a moment to reflect back. There were several companies in the headlines this week for various reasons. While some have erased uncertainties, of course others created more.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) – Down 3.8% for the week
As with the week before, Apple's five-day trading session resembled a seesaw. It began with a report last Monday by the Wall Street Journal that unnamed sources said Apple had cut its orders for screens and other iPhone 5 components due to lower than expected demand.
On the news, Apple shares dropped almost 4%, falling below $500 for the first time in almost a year. However, as I pointed out, this wasn't "news." Disappointingly, the story was then corroborated by Japan's Nikkei – proclaiming that Apple had asked display manufacturers such as Sharp and LG to cut orders by 50%.
The panic among investors continued and the shares kept falling – reaching $483 on Tuesday. Wednesday, "cooler heads" prevailed. The stock gained as much as 5% to $506 – helped by Wedge Partners' analysts Brian Blair who said that the Wall Street Journal got it wrong. He said, "We see these cuts as primarily related to normal seasonal patterns coming off of the holiday period and believe they are within a normal 15%-25% range, not the 50% range that was reported over the weekend."
Essentially, Apple's stock had just become the cheapest equity on the market. Although estimates are being trimmed, average price target remains $720, or 44% higher from current levels. It helped that Rob Cihra or Evercore Partners reiterated his Overweight rating on the stock and issued a $750 price target.
Although Apple didn't comment on WSJ's report, the company will either affirm or deny the story when it announces Q1 results on Wednesday after market close. The Street is expecting another solid quarter with 18% revenue growth. Analysts are also projecting $13.33 in earnings per share on revenue of $54.5 billion.
These numbers are meaningfully higher than Apple's estimates of $11.75 per share on revenues of $52 billion. On the other hand, the company is known to under-promise and over-deliver. Also, that iPhones have regained their U.S. market lead and represent well over 50% of Apple's fiscal Q1 revenues, the company should have no problem reaching the high end of its estimates.
Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) – Up 18% for the week
The beleaguered tech giant had an interesting week. Shares soared 18% on a rash of M&A rumors. On Tuesday, both the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg reported that the tech giant had engaged in conversations with TPG, Silver Lake and other private equity investors regarding a leverage buyout.
The stock then went on a two-day rally sending sending Dell's market cap higher to $22.3 billion. Even before the rally, I didn't see how realistic this deal would be, considering Dell's massive size. After shares jumped, the possibility now seems even less practical. Then again, what would be the benefit of a deal for Dell?
This is no slight against the company. But Dell is known for its PC business, which is known to be a dying industry. In Dell's most recent report, the company posted an 11% drop in revenue, including 5% sequential decline. For that matter, every business segment eroded, including an 18% year-over-year drop in its PC business.
Although Dell has spent considerably on its own M&A deals, there have been no meaningful signs of progress and the Street has lost patience. Clearly Dell has problems with realizing value. However, digging for value in "non-organic" ways never work well in the end. Then again, it didn't stop me from tossing my own opinions. It remains to be seen how this unfolds. But Dell's not a stock to hold.
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) – Down 6.5% for the week
Facebook made headlines this week with the release of the company's highly anticipated graph search. CEO Mark Zuckerberg described it as the beginning of a new phase in the history of the internet. The social media giant said this will change the way we search the world around us and organize all information on social, rather than algorithmic lines. In other words, "Top this Google."
It sounds exciting. But what does it really mean? For it to work, it first requires that your friends on Facebook share everything. With privacy already a huge concern, who wants to do that? What would be the compelling reason?
For instance, the value in the feature is predicated solely on entries from those you know. This means that if no one is saying how great this restaurant is, you will never know about it – regardless of your search. Facebook will have to figure out how to incentivize the growth of its database – not an easy task.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) – Up 3.8% for the week
Shares of Microsoft climbed up almost 4% for the week despite chronic bearishness about consumers' embracement of Windows 8, which has failed to meet expectations. It was designed to unify PC functionality with tablets and smartphones while optimizing touch-screen capabilities.
Unfortunately, the market has yawned -- remarkably, even during the holiday season. This is according to a report from consulting group Gartner, which said PC shipments arrived at 90 million in the last quarter of 2012 – declining by 4.3%. Despite this reality, the software giant said it plans to raise prices on Windows 8 upgrades effective Feb. 1.
Microsoft is certain to be asked about this decision when it reports Q2 earnings on Thursday. Consensus estimates call for 75 cents per share on revenues of $21.7 billion. EPS will likely arrive at -5% to flat year-over-year, while sales are projected to grow at 4%. The stock has been a disappointment, no doubt. Then again, any surprise will send shares higher. Also, a 3% dividend makes easy to wait for Microsoft to "wake up."
Sirius XM (NASDAQ: SIRI) – Traded 0% for the week
Although shares of Sirius XM traded flat for the week, another bit of uncertainty has been removed. As expected, Liberty Media made it official that it had indeed acquire the necessary amount of shares needed to become majority owner of the satellite radio giant.
According to an SEC filing, Liberty Media disclosed that it acquired an additional 50 million shares of Sirius on Tuesday at an average price of $3.156 – pushing its ownership stake from 49.8% to roughly 50.5%. This move comes less than two weeks after Liberty received FCC approval to take control of Sirius XM.
Ever since Liberty was awarded 40% of Sirius in exchange for a $530 million loan, the company had been growing its position in Sirius by buying on the open market. But now it's official. What will follow is the expected spin-off or the RMT as I've discussed here. Meanwhile, Sirius announced this week Feb. 4 will be the date it announces results for Q4.
In the meantime, there is still plenty of value in shares of Sirius at current levels. I would be a buyer here ahead of the report. For that matter, it is not farfetched for shares to reach the $3.50 level following what is expected to be a very exciting announcement.

A new hair hue is the perfect way to instantly update your look, just make sure you pick a shade which compliments your skin tone and eye colour.
If you're a little unsure of which hair colour to go for, why not opt for semi permanent dye or try a more subtle ombre look? Just print out your favourite celebrity hair colour and take it to the hairdresser, or even try and diy hair dye if you're brave enough...
