Salt Lake is famous for skiing, the Great Salt Lake, the Mormon Temple and — hold on to your tofu — vegan dining.
In the March/April issue of VegNews, Utah's capital city was dubbed "The Next Great Vegan City," for the wave of restaurants, food carts, bakeries and general vegan options available for a city our size. Salt Lake City earned the distinction after beating Austin, Texas, in the magazine's first "Vegan City Showdown."
"We were blown away at how vegan friendly it is in Salt Lake," said Colleen Holland, associate publisher of the San Francisco-based magazine. "We weren't expecting it."
In the magazine, now on newsstands, the editors say vegan food options are nothing new. They "literally fall from trees" in coastal cities such as New York City, Portland and Los Angeles. But what's really big news, they said, are the increasing options in unexpected cities, such as Salt Lake City, which is on the "verge of vegan domination."
"San Francisco is a vegan Mecca, but we don't have a single vegan street cart or a vegan bakery," Holland said in a recent telephone interview.
Salt Lake City, however, has two vegan food carts — one that sells hot dogs and another that offers Mexican cuisine. There's also two vegan bakeries, Cakewalk Baking Co., famous for its Twinkie-inspired Dillos, and City Cakes & Café. (See box.)
Plus there are a handful of other restaurants — such as Vertical Diner and Omar's Rawtopia — that cater to those who have sworn off meat and all animal-based foods (including butter, cheese, eggs and milk) either for ethical or health reasons.
Going mainstream • But vegan options in Salt Lake City are available in more than just the "hardcore" places, Holland said. "Just walking downtown, we saw non-vegetarian restaurants and sandwich shops offering vegan-friendly food."
Salt Lake City also offers a large social network for vegans. The Ching Animal Farm Sanctuary sponsors vegan cooking classes on the fourth Sunday of each month at Sunflower Market. And the social networking group SLC Vegan Drinks meets on the first Friday of every month at the W Lounge. During the potluck, event guests meet like-minded people while bartenders mix vegan cocktails such as rice milk White Russians and organic coconut martinis.
Larayn Clegg, who operates the vegan Mexican cart Union Street Eats — and the organizer of Vegan Drinks SLC — jumped at the chance to write Salt Lake City's nomination in VegNews. "We are really becoming more focused on local and organic and healthy food," said Clegg, who was raised on a Utah County dairy farm and has been vegan for 20 years. In that time, the city has come a long way to making vegan options available. "For a city our size, we have an amazing selection of vegan delights," she said.
With 225,000 readers, the VegNews article should entice vegans from around the country to plan a vacation to Salt Lake City "simply for the vegan dining alone."
Why SLC? • Some people might be surprised at all the vegan offerings, but not Amanda Rock. She has been writing about vegan food options in Salt Lake City for more than a year on her blog: amanda-eats-slc.blogspot.com. "I wanted to show everyone how much food we have here to eat, even in places that you wouldn't expect," said the 37-year-old who sports a "vegan for life" tattoo on her wrist.
It's not uncommon to find vegan offerings at places where meat and cheese rule, she said. For example, there's a homemade black-bean vegan burger on the menu at Rich's Mighty Fine Burgers, vegan sushi at Sushi Groove and vegan pizza at The Pie Hole. "If you can find vegan food in those kind of places, you know it's big," she said.
Nanette Mathiew had been a cake decorator most of her life when her two sons, both vegans, encouraged her to start her own business.
"They said there was no place to get a professionally decorated cake if you were vegan," said the owner of City Cakes & Café, which sells vegan baked goods, including cakes, scones, cinnamon rolls and doughnuts. "They were right," she said. "Our first two years have been very successful."
Compassion toward animals is the main reason people choose to eat vegan. But Mathiew said the burgeoning vegan dining scene can be attributed to many other things, from the increasing number of people moving into the state to the large number of outdoor enthusiasts who believe their food choices affect the environment.
Even Utah's conservative nature likely plays a role. "When there's a strong culture, there's a strong counterculture," she said.
Jesse Fruhwirth, who has owned — but recently sold — the City Dogs vegan cart, agreed. He said faithful members of the Mormon church avoid caffeine and alcohol, despite possible pressure, which requires a special kind of willpower. The seeds for vegan dietary choices, he said, may come from that same "Mormon boldness."

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WSAU) -- The 14-year-old accused of bludgeoning his friend's great-grandmother to death in Sheboygan Falls has been found guilty. The jury returned a guilty verdict on Nathan Paape Thursday for being party to the crime of first-degree intentional homicide.
Paape and his friend Antonio Barbeau were accused of killing 78-year-old Barbara Olson last September. Both of the teens testified on the witness stand, and had vastly different stories about what really happened that day.
Paape said the murder and robbery was Barbeau's idea, and that Barbeau planned everything. He told the court he thought Barbeau was joking about killing his great-grandmother.
Barbeau has already been convicted of first-degree intentional homicide. Both boys now awaiting sentencing.

When Patients Ask About Barefoot Running And Minimalist Shoes
- Volume 26 - Issue 5 - May 2013
- 19693 reads
- 3 comments
Chances are that you have had a patient or two ask for your opinion on barefoot running or minimalist shoes. Accordingly, these panelists share their perspectives on the recent surge of interest in these topics, review pertinent keys to patient assessment and discuss common injuries they have seen.
In an intriguing roundtable discussion, these accomplished sports medicine podiatrists (including a couple of longtime runners) discuss various issues related to barefoot running and minimalist footwear. Does barefoot running have a role in the training regimen of elite athletes? What do you say to non-elite athletes or beginning runners who want to try minimalist shoes? How critical is a gradual transition to minimalist shoes? Is there sufficient research to validate the hype or do common injuries like metatarsal fractures suggest otherwise? Without further delay, here is what the panelists have to say.
When patients ask about your opinion on barefoot running and whether or not it may be appropriate for them, what do you tell them?
The majority of the panelists agree that this depends on several factors. Bill Johncock, DPM, says it depends on the type of injuries runners have had in the past, whether they have any current injuries, the types of surfaces they run on, their age, etc. Jenny Sanders, DPM, and Nicholas Romansky, DPM, also ask these patients if they have already tried barefoot running, and whether they had a favorable or unfavorable response. Drs. Johncock, Romansky and Sanders all concur that it is important to determine the patient's motivation for wanting to run barefoot. Is it fueled by hype, a history of chronic injury or some other factor?
"Understanding a runner's motivation to want to run barefoot is key to making an informed decision," points out Dr. Sanders. "Many runners don't know why they think they should run barefoot and have no plan whatsoever as to how or why to adapt to a new form."
Richard Blake, DPM, assesses the patient's biomechanics in order to determine if his or her feet are stable enough to handle barefoot running. However, he notes that "many feet are so unstable that it is hard to recommend such an activity."
Dr. Romansky says he rarely recommends barefoot running or minimalist shoes for patients or athletes starting to exercise or restarting an exercise program after a layoff. Similarly, Kevin Kirby, DPM, is not likely to recommend barefoot running to beginning runners as he believes it may increase their risk of injury at a time when their body is not quite ready for the extra stress that it will place on their feet and lower extremities.
However, as a sports medicine podiatrist and longtime distance runner, Dr. Kirby does tell runners that barefoot running is "certainly a reasonable way to train for running on a part-time basis as long as it is performed on a safe surface." He reminds patients there is an extra risk of stepping on sharp objects with barefoot running. Dr. Kirby also notes that he is "more likely" to recommend occasional barefoot running to more experienced runners to allow more training variety and as a method to help them refine their running form.
Excellent discussion with many salient points. I have seen a lot of minimalist and even a few true barefoot runners here in Tampa. I think the injury rate is similar to those runners in traditional shoes but different areas - cuboid, sesamoid and metatarsal stress fractures are the most common. I have noted in the last 6 months a decrease in those using Vibrams or other similar shoes and an increase in the use of shoes such as the Brook Pure series or New Balance Minimus, which as Dr Kirby correctly pointed out are not much different from the road racing shoes of the 1960s-1980s.
Brian W. Fullem, DPM
Tampa, FL
Thanks for your comments.
As an older runner with 40 years of distance running under my belt, probably one of the most bizarre things I have seen in this "barefoot-minimalist shoe fad" is the claim by the barefoot-minimalist shoe advocates that they have somehow created a new shoe: the minimalist running shoe.
During my high school and college years of competing in cross-country, track and road races from 1972-1979, myself and many other runners in Northern California often wore racing flats that were thinner soled and lower heeled than today's "minimalist shoes." This was over three decades before the barefoot crowd proclaimed that they had invented a new type of running shoe ... the minimalist shoe. Amazing!
I am all for more running shoe selection for the public but I just hope we can put down this nonsense that minimalist shoes are anything more than a return to racing flats for training ... something which many of us were regularly doing back in the 1970s!
Nothing new under the sun.
Kevin A. Kirby, DPMReply to this comment »
Most advocates of barefoot running are advocating a change in form as much as they are advocating throwing away the shoe. One basic characteristic of this form is that the foot strikes the ground under the body rather than in front. It is difficult to strike under the body with the heel, thus the change to the midfoot or forefoot strike. The biomechanical evidence supporting this form and foot strike is very compelling. This way of coming down with the foot eliminates a sharp impact peak that is present with the heel strike in front of the body.
If you run barefoot, you feel this impact peak more so you naturally change your form to avoid it. Alternatively, you can learn this way of running with a regular shoe and practice.
Then there is the second very interesting discussion about the anthropological history of running barefoot (I.e. were we meant to wear shoes with big heels?).
These are logical arguments from both a scientific and common sense perspective, and should be taken seriously.
Of course, if you are changing your form and your shoes, you need to build up slowly. Most people have very little sense of what building up slowly means. I personally switched to minimalist shoe running over a period of two years starting with short 2-5 minute runs during my lunch break. My calves and Achillies were often sore at the start and needed to be built up. I wouldn't recommend any other approach. My motivation was that I could not previously run due to knee injuries.
Running barefoot and/or minimalist shoes are not new ideas. That is the point. Often an old idea gains popularity for new reasons. The new reasons are those mentioned above.
I find the whole discussion extremely interesting and more than just a fad. This is a debate that has engaged elite runners, Harvard scientists, anthropologists, as well as bloggers and everyday joggers.Reply to this comment »

Can we ever design an experiment which can determine whether God exists?
I just find it hard to believe when people say : "There is no evidence for God". Yes there isn't because we can't design an experiment to prove or disprove this hypothesis.
However a very important thing, Which I devoted a whole TED Debate to (Here is the link to that debate : http://www.ted.com/conversations/17001/can_god_be_defined_or_in_othe.html), is that to work out whether the hypothesis is true we must first define what we mean by "God" (and "existence" for that matter), which I have found doesn't prove to be very successful. Otherwise we can't advance into going to making experiment for this hypothesis.
In science (I believe) theories can only be disproved and never proved to be "certain", so in this sense everybody has to be an agnostic about God, unless some genius in the TED community can come up with an experiment.
While another problem remains that we base all data we have on experimental data we have gained from the past, and expect the future to be consistent.
So in this sense I am a strong agnostic / Ignostic because God hasn't really been defined (and only has subjective definitions) and that I can't genially think of an experiment to determine whether God exist of not. So yes in the literal sense there is no "evidence" but that's only because no experiment have been done.
(Also there remains the slight problem with the fact that there is a degree of uncertainness in everything, and that no matter how logical and rational a hypothesis may seem it can always be proved false, or untrue)
My final point would be I see no correlation with an absence of evidence, and an evidence of absence! (This is very important)
And of-course, I apologize for repeating myself (if I have done so!) and my awful spelling and grammar.
Just so I say now, so I get no confusion, this is just an honest enquiry as to whether it can be done! (Not trying to reduce "God" in any way!)
Closing Statement from Bernard White
I'm slightly worreid I won't do a good job of this summary but here I go :
I must first say this :
I implore everybody to look at my "new" God debate :
What does the theological implications do the "Psychology" and "Neuroscience" (and possibly biology) of religion/ "God(s)" have?
Link : http://www.ted.com/conversations/18226/what_does_the_theological_impl.html
This has been a wonderful debate with lots of interesting idea's. However I view, with the majority consensus, (and please correct me if I have got this wrong) that there isn't a experiment which can (dis)prove the existence of "God(s)".
I would just like to congratulate everybody for their amazing contributions to the conversation. It has given me a lot to ponder.
Kind regards (to all),

Apr 9 2013: @NathanCook
I find it very unlikely that all religious beliefs can be completely correct.
I mean if one religion says : God like mushrooms, and another says he doesn't it seems rather dubious to me.
Yes you could say at one moment in time he did like mushrooms and then he changed his mind. (That is one way they could all be correct!) Or that people perceived it doing different things with a mushroom. (It eats the mushroom goes "this is yummy" and then another civilization see's him vomit the mushroom, and then assumes God does(n't) like the mushroom)
There are just too many possibilities if you assume that all religions can be correct. I can accept, as Carl Jung said : that all religions could have certain truths about the human psyche produced by our unconsciousness mind, yet not that they are all right.
Apr 9 2013: Bernard,
Didn't most religions start out with some very basic, similar ideas? Do unto others.....love each other.....we are all one....those kinds of beliefs?
It seems like they seperated because of specific dogma which was created and added by humans throughout history?
I believe the basic foundation of most religions is valuable (or "correct"), so I agree with Nathan on that part.
What you refer to as "too many possibilities" are off-shoots of the original basic ideas, created by humans......yes? I agree that most of the dogma, created by humans is not always beneficial to the whole of humankind.
I think/feel that with the exploration of whether or not a god exists, people often consider their own personal beliefs and experiences regarding beliefs in a god, which are often based on information they received from their particular religious organization....information which was/is created and reinforced by humans.
Apr 9 2013: Hello Colleen Steen (again! :D)
With regard to your " Do unto others.....love each other.....we are all one....those kinds of beliefs?"
Obey No1kinobe, created a very good debate about whether the Golden rule was perfect. Which I argued it wasn't (very simply because if you were someone who inflicted pain upon yourself, then by the logic of the golden rule you should be allowed to inflict pain on others. And that from a utilitarian perspective the golden rule may sometime be invalid.).
I am a strong agnostic concerning God. Because I see no reason to believe or not to believe in any diety.
Whatever the foundation of religion (as mentioned to before whether it was created by our "theory of mind", "wish fulfillment theory", "artificialism" (as a seen in Piaget's "theory of cognitive development"), Cognitive Dissonance, a method to reduce anxiety in finding meaning in stress, or wanting norms to increase empathy ect...) then I find that whether or not it is true to be the most true part.
On this matter of "I believe the basic foundation of most religions is valuable (or "correct")" have you read : Religion for Atheists by Alain de Botton. (Which was a times best seller!)
Here is his TED Talk on this matter :
Alain de Botton: Atheism 2.0 (Link : http://www.ted.com/talks/alain_de_botton_atheism_2_0.html)
And if there is a God, I find it highly likely that it is beyond human cognition, or is within each of us. (And probably isn't an external being independant of the human mind).
Sorry to get quite side-tracked, now where was I? :P
Apr 9 2013: Hello again Bernard:>)
I didn't say the golden rule was perfect....or not. I simply said the concept was often a belief embraced by some religions. I don't really want to debate whether or not the golden rule is valid or invalid. There is a basic understanding of the golden rule, and it seems pretty clear to me. People may debate it however s/he wishes:>)
I do not like to label myself, and with the information I have at this time, I do not believe in a god. If an experiment is ever designed to prove there is, or is not a god, I am open to that information:>)
You often get "side-tracked", and I am not surprised by that any more. Perhaps you are not surprised that I tend to stay on topic??? LOL:>)
Apr 9 2013: Haha!
I see I must have misunderstood something. :D
To be fair, I find there isn't really a good label to describe myself, the closest would be :
An Strong agnostic Ignostic Pantheist. But even that doesn't really do it justice. (I know what you mean! I don't really like using labels as well! But I do, for some odd reason!)
"You often get "side-tracked", and I am not surprised by that any more. Perhaps you are not surprised that I tend to stay on topic??? LOL:>)"
:D I do don't I?
Have you watched that TED Talk though? (Or read the book?)

Special Care Units in Nursing Homes
Please read this brief introduction before checking the list of special care units that follows. Also, please note that this list does not constitute an endorsement of any nursing home and is intended for use by families as a starting point in a selection process.
Many nursing homes have designated areas or units exclusively for people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. These special care units (SCUs) have become common, based on the idea that those residents with dementia require specialized care that may not be routinely available in nursing homes.
The goal of SCUs are to provide an environment that enhances individualized care and effective approaches to difficult behaviors often associated with dementia. Characteristics of SCUs may include specially selected, trained and supervised staff, specifically designed activities, family involvement, and a physical design that promotes mobility and enjoyment. SCUs are diverse in nature. There are no state regulations governing what constitutes an SCU. However, Illinois law requires facilities that advertise that they have SCUs must disclose details about their programs.
Although there are no other regulatory policies covering SCUs, concerns about quality led to the development and implementation of a set of standards for SCUs by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, a private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving quality of care in a variety of healthcare settings. Since 1994, nursing homes have been able to voluntarily submit to a survey process for SCUs using specific standards in hopes of getting accredited by the Joint Commission. The nursing homes in northeastern Illinois, which have met the Joint Commission's standards for SCUs, are highlighted on the attached list, which also includes those nursing homes that report having SCUs, but lack Joint Commission accreditation status. Again, the characteristics of these SCUs will vary depending on the particular nursing home's level of commitment instead of compliance with any set of standards. It should also be noted that this list is not comprehensive and we will make additions and deletions to the list whenever we become aware of any changes.
The Alzheimer's Association has published a helpful guide and checklist for families seeking to choose an appropriate nursing home. We recommend that this inexpensive booklet be purchased through the Association's local chapter by calling (847) 933-1000. Ask for a copy of Family Guide for Residential Settings.

Sometimes arcane legal doctrines can transform factually simple cases into confusing messes for jurors, lawyers and judges alike. Thompson Reuters reports a federal district case in which applying "the cat's paw" doctrine in a sexual discrimination case confused the jury and led to a reversal and new trial by the Seventh Circuit.
In that case, Deborah Cook, a mall security guard, brought a federal sex discrimination lawsuit against her employer, IPC international Corp. Cook claimed that she was terminated after complaining about her supervisor's sexually offensive comments. IPC countered that Cook was never fired, but instead quit after the same supervisor transferred her to a mall in another town.
During the litigation and at trial, Cook never raised the cat's paw doctrine. The Seventh Circuit explained the theory as follows:
In the fable of the cat's paw (a fable offensive to cats and cat lovers, be it noted), a monkey who wants chestnuts that are roasting in a fire persuades an intellectually challenged cat to fetch the chestnuts from the fire for the monkey, and the cat does so but in the process burns its paw. In employment discrimination law the "cat's paw" metaphor refers to a situation in which an employee is fired or subjected to some other adverse employment action by a supervisor who himself has no discriminatory motive, but who has been manipulated by a subordinate who does have such a motive and intended to bring about the adverse employment action. So if for example the subordinate has told the supervisor that the employee in question is a thief, but as the subordinate well knows she is not, the fact that the supervisor has no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the accusation, and having no doubt fires her, does not exonerate the employer if the subordinate's motive was discriminatory.
The "cat's paw" doctrine can be thought of as an application of the "motivating factor" doctrine; the monkey's malevolent intent is imputed to the employer. So if the employer can't show that the monkey's supervisor, who did the actual firing (or took some other adverse employment action), had a lawful motive uncontaminated by the monkey that would have led the supervisor to fire the employee even without the monkey's interference, the employee is entitled to damages.
Because Cook did not raise this theory, the district court judge required her to prove that her direct supervisor was soley responsible for firing her. The jury returned a verdict in favor of IPC.
Cook appealed to the Seventh Circuit on the grounds that the district court erred in requiring her to prove that her direct supervisor was the "sole decisionmaker" responsible for terminating her. Judge Richard Posner, writing for the court, reversed the jury verdict and remanded the case for a new trial. Judge Posner explained that injecting "sole decisionmaker into the jury's deliberations confused the jury. In particular, Judge Posner reasoned that the cat paw doctrine was inappropriate because at dispute in the case was whether Cook's direct supervisor fired her. In other words, Cook's supervisor was not a cat, but rather a monkey. In other words, there was no cat in the case. As such, the court concluded that the case was factually simple whereby the jury should have deliberated solely on whether Cook was fired in retaliation for complaining about her supervisor's behavior or whether she voluntarily resigned.

for Thirugnanamoorthy
Remorseful, the noonday sun
Frizzles with the stealthy wind
Under the rubbery mountain green.
A calmness has come to rest
From having tossed in its sleep.
The forest has taken leave
Of the hunted horn and drum.
No more the tapper late of nap
Scurries to the haven of a nest.
No more the rattle whisper fades
To nothingness in a lonesome rest.
No more, no more, for the heavens
Sleep and all the troops sleep too.
The sinewy python stretched past
Clumsily the ragged rock and branch.
The Owl has called its reveille at last.
And the forest sleeps with the wind
Gently fanning some whisper closer
And closer, every wave, a venomous flick
Of a serpent, a kiss of rest.
(Letter describing the situation in Malaya and denouncing
treachery, written in 1952 to Thirugnanamoorthy who was banished
by a British magistrate to Ceylon in March 1952. The letter never
reached him.)

A Lubbock woman says Animal Control's negligence led to her dog's horrible death.
Since mid-December, Tammy Perez says 2 pit bull type dogs have been terrorizing her mother's 10-year-old Australian Shepherd named Cutter and dozens of times they called Animal Control to take care of the problem. "They chase the fence line, and try to dig underneath it to get in. On January 14th they were successful. They destroyed pickets and pulled them off the gate," Tammy said.
Once inside the back yard, the 2 dogs viciously attacked Cutter. Tammy's mother Dianna ran outside and tried to pull Cutter into the house. Bloody and severely injured, he was rushed to the vet with around 30 bite marks and tears.
Cutter hung on for several days but died Tuesday morning. "It was his yard, his domain. He was supposed to be safe," Tammy said with tears filling her eyes. "When I went to the vet, I didn't pick up our dog; I picked up a collar… that's all we have now."
Tammy says this all could have been avoided if Animal Control would have helped when they called prior to the attack. "We requested them to put up traps and they said that had to be approved. The traps were delivered the day after Cutter died," Tammy said.
KCBD called Animal Control and spoke to the director over the phone. He told us Dianna did in fact make several calls about the dogs. He also said approval is not needed to set up traps. We asked why they weren't put up sooner or before the attack, and the director replied "I don't know".
He refused to do an on camera interview so we called the City of Lubbock. They sent us this statement:
"Animal Control officers were contacted by Ms. Wilson on January 14, 2013, regarding two loose pit bulls. Animal Control Officer J.R. Martinez responded to the address shortly after 7:00 p.m. to search for the dogs and called two additional officers to help search after he arrived. The three officers were unable to locate the dogs. A search of Animal Control and 311 telephone logs revealed a dangerous animal call from Ms. Wilson's phone number on May 3, 2012 and January 14, 2013, but telephone logs showed no dangerous animal calls from her phone number between those dates including the month of December."
Tammy and Dianna say officials are lying and that they have made numerous calls. They also say only one officer came the day of the attack and barely searched for the pit bulls. "I can line up the whole street to tell you that didn't happen. Animal Services can claim what they want. They're negligent in this dog's death and they did not do everything in their power to help us capture these dogs," Tammy said.
Although they have more than $900 in vet bills, Tammy says they don't want money and they will not file a lawsuit. Instead, she says all they want is for Animal Control to admit they didn't do everything in their power to help Cutter.
"I just want them to admit they did not do the right thing by us. They didn't do the right thing by Cutter, and he suffered because of it. Nothing will bring him back, but maybe they can change the way they do things so it won't happen again. They're negligence is going to cost a child or adult their life," Tammy said.

All of North Carolina was cheering for her as Kat Robichaud made it to the Top 10 on NBC's "The Voice," but on Tuesday she was unfortunately eliminated.
Saturday, her husband, Guillaume Robichaud, organized a surprise for the rising star as she returned home after a whirlwind month on the show. Kat was greeted with loud cheers from dozens of her biggest fans at the OC Bar & Grill.
She said the last few months have been a dream come true -- capped off Friday night with one more item being crossed off her bucket list.
"'The Voice' flew me out to New York and put me up in a really nice hotel, and I had a limo drive me around the city," Kat said. "I was supposed to leave after my interviews with the Today show and MTV were over on Thursday afternoon, but Amanda [Palmer] wrote to me and said, 'I see that you're in New York. We're playing a show tonight and we'd love for you to come and sing with us.'"
The North Carolina native was invited to perform on stage with her idol Amanda Palmer, of The Dresden Dolls, at Town Hall in New York City. Kat was the "last special guest" on "An Evening with Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman," during which she performed The Dresden Dolls' "Delilah" alongside Palmer.
"This has been a dream of mine for years, to meet Amanda Palmer and to tour with her," Kat said. "She and [Palmer's husband and novelist] Neil Gaiman have been so incredibly supportive."
Guillaume Robichaud said of his wife's time on "The Voice," "It's bittersweet, because you know she wanted to go as far as she could."
Self-professed "biggest fan," Phoebe Sjostedt said, "In my eyes she's always going to be a winner to me, no matter where she goes in life or what she does. She's going to be a winner and she will take this experience and run with it."
As for Robichaud's future, she said she's now going to focus on her music career.
"While I was up there [New York City], my lawyer flew up, and we had a bunch of meetings trying to get some good direction with which agencies to go with. Should we sign with a label? So we're figuring all that out right now, and it's very exciting." Kat said.

Several updates to a story KLTV 7 brought you first. The latest in the long line of recently discovered Trashing East Texas sites, it's on County Road 488. That's just north of Loop 323 on Texas College Road. That land is covered with building debris, household trash and dead animals. KLTV went back to the site to meet with environmental investigators and the landowner. We noticed a man with a trailer load of debris going into the land. We called environmental investigators. They quickly caught up with 31 year old Erasmo Rincon. Rincon told authorities he was going to dump the leaves and limbs on the land and then burn them. He says he had permission from the lessee of the property to do so. Nevertheless, he was arrested on two charges: illegal dumping and illegal transportation. After the arrest, we found out more about the person who owns the land and how it got so bad.
Smith County Environmental Investigators Danny Brasher and Tommy Goodman meet with the owner of this land Richard Campbell.
"We are fixing to go tour the property. He is going to be able to see it for the first time and I can only image what his reaction is going to be," says Brasher.
Richard Campbell of Lindale says he had no idea he and his wife had inherited this dumpsite 2 years ago.
"There is several different tracks of property that is probably 300 acres plus," says Campbell.
This is not the first of Campbell's inherited property that is being used as a dumpsite. In February, we also featured another piece of land in Trashing East Texas. It also was inherited by Campbell.
"Every time we get one step ahead we get 3 or 4 steps backwards. So it has been an ongoing battle," says Campbell.
Investigators took Campbell out to survey his property which has been leased to 81 year old John Ruffins for 50 years.
"I am really appalled that someone would do this to someone else property. Mr. Ruffins didn't own this property," says Campbell.
Then Campbell sees the site covered in dead and decomposing animals and the smell is indescribable. Campbell looks on in disbelief.
"Somebody needs to be punished, somebody needs to be punished. This is unreal and people knew better than this and to see the extent to what has been dropped here. There is no way that Mr. Ruffin didn't know any better," says Campbell.
Then Campbell can't stand it any longer.
"We can leave now," says Campbell.
Later, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality responded to the site. To see if the land qualifies as an environmental hazard. At the end of the day, investigators arrested John Ruffins on 3 felony charges, for illegal dumping, illegal transportation and illegal dumping by receiving.
Ruffins says he was disposing of the dead animals, found on the property, for local veterinarians. We spoke with two clinics who say they have called on Ruffins for those services. One veterinarian told us Ruffins was providing a valuable service to a lot of people. Investigators say the veterinarians could face charges.
However, as for the owner, investigators say he will not face any charges.

After a month of procedural delays, the nomination of Gina McCarthy to run the Environmental Protection Agency was finally moved Thursday out of the Environment and Public Works Committee to the full Senate. But the party-line vote of 10 Democrats and eight Republicans suggested more turbulence ahead, as the Senate Democrats will need the support of at least five Republicans to reach a filibuster-proof majority for confirmation.
Hardball tactics aren't justified in the case of a nominee who worked for Republican governors in Massachusetts and Connecticut — including Mitt Romney — and had the respect of many industry lobbyists before being tapped for her current post as chief of the EPA's air and radiation division. Back then, in 2009, she was confirmed by a voice vote.

Spend the entire day in bed
Turn off your Blackberry and unplug the clock, it's time to hunker down with your dream guy. Skip your to-do-list for the day and make a new one where everything on it can be done in bed. It's fun, it's free, and sure beats working all day, doesn't it? Go ahead. What are you waiting for? Play hooky already!

Assign him love homework
Ready to instantly spice things up? Call or text him and give him a little "love homework" to bring home. Ask him to make a list of the 10 places on your body he'd like to kiss you, or his 5 favorite spots to have sex. The anticipation will build as he completes his assignment and he will be eager to turn it in and practice what he's learned.

Put your pleasure in his hands
These days there is no shortage of pleasure products on the shelves at your local drugstore. Although the selection can be vast, most of them look like more fun for you than him - until now. Introducing the Hanky Panky Remote Bullet by Pure Romance. The sleek, waterproof, wireless bullet has ten powerful speeds and slips discretely into your panties. On the way out, give him the wireless remote control, which works up to 25 feet away, and let the games begin.

Be his secret admirer
You can still remember the smell of those beautiful roses he sent you on your birthday, but when was the last time you showered him with public displays of affection? Surprise him for lunch looking unbelievably hot in that dress he loves, or have a note telling him to "Come home, now!" delivered to his office by a messenger.
Serve yourself for dessert
After you've both enjoyed a delicious meal, it's time for a one-of-a-kind dessert in bed. Hand him a jar of edible chocolate body paint and a brush, and light a candle -- it's on.
Go skinny dipping
As the weather continues to warm up, stay on the lookout for the perfect place to sneak off to for a naughty naked dip for two. He'll love that you took the initiative to locate the perfect rendezvous point, and you'll love the excitement in his eyes when he finds out you're willing to go there.
Take a bubble bath together
A little fizz, steam and a hot bath can go a long way for your sex drive. Skip the showers in favor of a romantic evening in the tub together for some sensual foreplay before bed.

Obviously the most popular attractions would still go very quickly, but at least you wouldn't have people killing themselves on the stairs and escalators in the land to get their soarin fastpass. People could book their toy story mania at the turnstiles, then leisurely wonder through the park, working their way to the back.
What do you think?

Our Ohio Returns for a Seventh Season
The weekly series continues to profile the Buckeye State's people, places and culture.
It's easy to see Ohio's rolling hills, historical towns and proud cities, but there's more than meets the eye when it comes to the Buckeye state.
Our Ohio, the weekly series that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at Ohio's places, faces and products, returns this April for a seventh season.
"Our Ohio is full of interesting stories and interesting people. We've met rough and tumble bull riders, a riverboat captain with a penchant for piracy, a couple who built their house from trash, creative restaurateurs and a lot of hardworking people trying to make a living from the land they love. When you travel off the beaten path you meet plenty of characters," Our Ohio Producer Richard Wonderling said.
This season, Our Ohio viewers will see how farmers are using technology to increase productivity, why corn is interesting to researchers, the ins-and-outs of the Buckeye tree, how deer are impacting crops and much more. In fact, season seven includes 10 brand new episodes as well as replays of some of the Our Ohio favorites. The first of the new episodes will air Saturday, April 14, at 3:30pm on CET and Sunday, April 15, at 1pm on ThinkTV14.
"Our Ohio ventures off the beaten path. We often feature stories that would otherwise go untold. For one reason or another, rural voices are seldom heard. These people play an important role in our society and Our Ohio gives them a voice," Wonderling said.
Our Ohio will be broadcast Saturdays at 3:30pm on CET and Sundays at 1pm on ThinkTV14.
Also, this year Our Ohio producers will be sending status updates and notes from the field. To stay in touch with the producers, follow ThinkTV and Our Ohio on Facebook and Twitter.
More information about Our Ohio is available at www.OurOhio.org. Funding for the series has been provided by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, Nationwide Insurance and Medical Mutual of Ohio. The series is produced by Public Media Connect, ThinkTV and CET in southwest Ohio and is broadcast state wide on Ohio public television stations.

Victoria's Secret is suing a former employee of its Garden State Plaza location, claiming that the man used his position in the company to buy goods at deep discounts, and then resell them, nj.com reported.
According to the report, Mina Nematalla, of Bayonne, is accused of working with co-conspirators to buy body care products using phony or wrongfully-acquired discounts and credits. The suit claims Nematalla and accomplises reused "appeasement cards," which are generally handed out to unsatisfied customers and offer a one-time, 30% discount, the report said. The group allegedly kept using the cards to make purchases, the report said.

Kameo: Elements of Power - 360 - Preview
It's not every day that you get to see a game evolve from multiple consoles. We already know how Kameo improved from its N64 days. It looked good (but had frame rate issues) on GameCube; looked even better on Xbox. Today Microsoft held a meeting behind closed doors that showed, side-by-side, the Xbox and new Xbox 360 versions of the game.
The old Xbox version looked great, but it will never be released. We found out why when they booted up the Xbox 360 version. The trees, characters and textures improved 110%. The mountain tops, castle structures, etc., they all appeared to be real, touchable pieces of the environment. Although these environments were interactive, their design was not intricate at all – it was flat! Rare has always been a premiere developer for graphics (remember Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong Country?), and part of that comes from their way of handling visuals. According to Rare, it's all about the textures and the unprecedented texture power of Xbox 360. As much as I hate all the delays that have taken place, the transition has been a beautiful one.
Several levels and several character transformations were shown to us, including a clever rock beast that disperses its body (which is made up of rock parts) to attack enemies. There was an armadillo-type transformation. That beast had spikes on his back, could roll up into a ball, stomp on enemies or roll [slice!] into them. Another transformation indicated the advantages of being a monstrous ape – you can climb to areas that others can't reach.
One of the most impressive moments was when they showed us a large-scale battle between you and 3,000 monsters. The camera was spun, zoomed in and out, and yet the game had no problem displaying a few thousand monsters, all of which could be seen in clear detail whether you were close to them or not. All could be hit, killed, eliminated, whatever. They could also gang up on you. It was really fun to see this, because of all the things I've experienced at E3, large-scale battles have not been one of them. (Some of PS3's games had large-scale battles, but right now they're non-playable tech demos.)
This is a very promising game. Kameo should be a must-have Xbox 360 title as soon as it launches (assuming it actually will).

A West Logan restaurant owner has admitted to laundering cash from an illegal gambling operation, U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin reports.
Gregory A. Dotson, 51, of Chapmanville, proprietor of Giovanni's of Logan, told the court he'd operated an illegal gambling parlor in the back of a tobacco store in South Williamson, KY, since May 2008. Payouts from so-called "gray machines" are illegal under Kentucky law, but Dotson routinely paid out gambling winning to patrons. He said he retrieved proceeds from the illegal machines weekly, bringing the cash across state lines to his office at Giovanni's where the illegal gambling proceeds were commingled with the cash generated legitimately by the restaurant.
Goodwin said in August 2010 Dotson traveled from West Virginia to Bristol, Tenn., with nearly $12,000 in proceeds from the illegal gambling operation and used that money to help purchase a sports car.
In October 2013, agents from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigative Division raided the gambling parlor, seizing 40 machines in operation and another 40 machines in storage.
As part of the plea agreement, Dotson agreed to forfeit nearly $150,000 in cash, a $96,000 Mercedes sport-utility vehicle, a $50,000 Rolex watch, and several expensive firearms, in addition to the 80 machines seized from the South Williamson operation.
In addition to the forfeiture, Dotson faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced in June.
The investigation was conducted by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigative Division with assistance from the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Ryan is in charge of the prosecution.

Q&A: Is it okay to take Glucophage for irregular cycles?
My OB/GYN has prescribed Glucophage to try to regulate my cycles. They've been irregular and long, and now I appear to be having an anovulatory cycle--or I just haven't ovulated yet and I'm at day 80 of my cycle!
I don't have PCOS (at least not that I know of.) I don't have the symptoms of PCOS and I've read that glucophage is normally administered to people who have it.
Is it ok to take the drug, and do you think it might help?
The real determination of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which 5% of all women have, is whether you have insulin resistance. This is possibly a precursor to real diabetes years in the future, in that you're not sensitive enough to the insulin you make, so you make extra, which is great for controlling your sugar, but rough on other tissues, like blood vessels.
There can be so many subtle hints of PCOS that sometimes treating a person for one of the symptoms without proving the syndrome by "official" standards can make sense, especially for someone who may be in a rush to seek pregnancy. We are only now beginning to understand the true nature of PCOS, and you may want to check out the PCOS article on BabyZone.
Why treat this at all? Besides the inconvenience of irregular cycles, doctors are beginning to suspect that untreated PCOS–or insulin resistance–could increast the risk of heart disease later on, so it's not a bad idea. And if it gets your cycles going normally again, there's an added plus.
You're right, though, if you feel that Glucophage is a waste without insulin resistance. And treating a syndrome before proving it may be putting the cart in front of the horse, but as I said above, you may have it without it having been proven by today's "provable" methods. This sort of thinking is also starting to be used to justify giving Lupron for endometriosis before a surgery proves endometriosis–an argument supported by the spirit of conservatism, especially in young girls and women seeking to avoid surgery.
The other ways to treat PCOS are birth control pills (not good if you're seeking pregnancy or can't tolerate the pill) and Clomid (an ovulation inducer–not good if you want contraception). The Glucophage is another approach, hitting directly at the problem, by counteracting insulin resistance.
Your doctor has individualized treatment just for you, and the fact that he or she even "gets it" (recognizes the connection of insulin resistance), means that your care is modern and up to date, even if it is a guess at this particular moment. Ask your doctor for a deadline after which you need to establish regular cycles (say…six months), the failure of which would require you to either prove or disprove PCOS with all of the current diagnostics available.
