A new 70-bed purpose built dementia care home built on the site of the former Old Bridge Inn, Ilkeston, will officially open on 28 February.
Erewash Mayor Councillor Val Clare and MP Jessica Lee will be amongst the special guests when Canal Vue, run by Eastgate Care, formally launches.
The home, which is Eastgate's fifth in the East Midlands, overlooks the scenic Erewash Canal and provides bright and spacious accommodation in an idyllic setting.
The building maximises its waterside setting with landscaped gardens, a mini allotment and a kitchen garden, while the attractive lounges with their glass frontage offer brilliant views of the surroundings.
The home offers long or short term care, and all bedrooms have en-suite facilities.
The rooms are also tastefully decorated with a vibrant colour scheme which has been specially created to help soothe and comfort dementia patients.
In addition to the state of the art design, Canal Vue will offer nursing, convalescence, and respite, with local community services including a GP, chiropodist, optician, dentist, hairdresser and minister.
There will also be dedicated activities co-ordinators and regular trips and outings.

Other plans for the site had included residential flats.

So, Mark Lanegan. I've been listening to him since I heard 'Hit the City' on Kerrang...seven years ago, and he had got me though some of the roughest times of my life. But never seen him in concert, as no only didn't he tour, but when he did tour with SoulSavers (whom also also like, hell, 90% of the songs were covers of his material!), I bought a ticket to go, and it snowed. A lot. Masses. And as it was to a place I had never been to, a long distance from home, well, basically I decided to not go.
So when I heard he was touring (after seeing an ad on the walls on the Academy!) I had to go. Which made a change, as for once my boyfriend didn't know Mr. Lanegan's work, so I introduced him to it. (He loves it by the way).
So we get there, fashionably late as usual, and the place is packed. Not just slightly busy, packed to the rafters. I had no idea what to expect, the stage was simple, with no set, just a microphone and instruments.
He came on stage, last, but there was little fanfare. He didn't introduce himself, just started to sing with that amazing voice. And that was it, just song after song, with a brief intro of the band (which my boyfriend said was incomprehensible) and when he returned from the false encore, a quick, faintly sarcastic 'thanks'.
But it didn't matter. The music was amazing, and although the sound quality occasionally let them down, the majority was crystal clear. It was all very emotional, and I loved it.
They also didn't change the lighting, so no flashing lights etc, but also no decent photos or film. But at least I finally got to see him!
Forget about visuals, I couldn't see myself! There are a couple of clips of him where I put my hand above the crowd, but I just won't do that for long periods as other's can't see.

Campers stranded, roads damaged in Woodstock downpourBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 26. 2014 9:16AM
WOODSTOCK — A heavy downpour overnight caused flash flooding of the Lost River, stranding 84 people at two campgrounds and causing extensive damage to Route 112 (Lost River Hill), according to Police Chief Douglas Moorhead.
Moorhead said a micro-burst of heavy rain that came off one side of the ridge line at Mount Moosilauke hit the town, causing Lost River to rise rapidly and overflow its bank, stranding four people at Maple Haven Campground and another 80 at the Lost River Valley Campground.
He explained that when a storm comes off the mountain, it sometimes can dump four to six inches of water on the area in a very short time.
Moorehead said he hadn't seen Lost River or the Pemigewasset River running as high as they are since Hurricane Irene in 2011 or Hurricane Gloria in 1985.
No one was injured, he said.
As quickly as the Lost River rose, it has quickly receded, he said.
The Lost River campers are now able to walk out, but Moorhead said part of the road near the bridge leading in and out of the campground was washed away. Gravel needs to be brought in to repair it.
He estimated it will be about mid-day before cars and trucks will be able to leave the campground, which expects to be open this weekend.
He urged people to stay out of both the Lost and Pemigewasset rivers for fear they will be swept away in water that continues to run high and fast.
"This will be an emergency situation for a while and people should stay in place and away from the rivers," he said.
Moorhead also said that about a three-mile stretch of Route 112 was damaged and portions were washed out. He said the eastbound lane has "some significant damage" but light traffic is being allowed through.
"I have been police chief for 20 years and have never seen it this bad in that area," he said.
Officials at Lost River Gorge said they saw some flooding, but suffered no structural damage. The popular site will be closed Friday and will reopen on Saturday.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for both rivers and extended it until Thursday evening for the Pemigewasset.
At 4 a.m., the weather service said the river was at 9.9 feet, above the 9-foot flood stage. It predicted the river would continue rising to 11.5 feet Thursday morning, but will fall below flood stage by late this afternoon.

Mr Sulu causes DDoS panic after posting link on Facebook
ISP can't believe George Takei has so many fans
Star Trek hero George Takei unleashed such a wave of interest after posting a link on his Facebook page – to a website which was selling a 'Takei T-shirt' – that the site's ISP assumed that the traffic was a DDoS attack and took the site down for several hours.
The Star Trek star posted a link to a gay-pride T-shirt with a Takei twist to his two million fans on the social network and the click-through rates were so high that his servers believed they were being attacked by a nefarious bot rather than customers with a genuine interest in Takei-themed T-shirts.
The Takei T-shirts that drove the internet wild
"Apparently, my fans here collectively can now resemble a coordinated worldwide web assault," Takei said in a Facebook post, after the site had been brought back online.
Fans had a lot to say:
Eric Moore: "Nothing photon torpedoes can't fix"
Tyson Hickey: "What can we say, "we are legion"."
Timothy Rigney: "Call the ISP and tell them you need "MORE POW-arrrrr!!"
The shirts feature a range of puntastic gay-rights slogans playing on the name of the star - who played Hikaru Sulu, the Enterprise helmsman and later the commander of the Excelsior in the Star Trek TV and film saga.
All proceeds from the sale of merchandise go to the non-profit Old Globe Theater in San Diego, which is staging Takei's musical show Allegiance this autumn. ®

On Sunday, May 21, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® said its final farewell to a sold-out crowd of incredibly enthusiastic fans. The response they gave to everyone who made the show possible – performers, staff and crew – was heartwarming. Though it was difficult to say goodbye, my family and I were heartened to send off The Greatest Show On Earth® in the celebratory and positive fashion that this American treasure deserves.
We want to thank all of our fans for supporting Ringling Bros. over the years. In the fifty years that my family has been producing Ringling Bros., more than one quarter of a billion people have come to see the show, and we've been privileged to have been able to share the joy of Ringling Bros. with you.
We hope you enjoy this video, which captures the spirit of the performers, the excitement of the crowd, and the passion and emotion of the entire event. We believe it shows what made Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey truly The Greatest Show On Earth®.

eastern kentucky teacher needs laptops
Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2008 6:57 am
Hi, I am a special education teacher in rural eastern kentucky, the county of Jackson. Our county is a beautiful place to live, wonderful for outdoor sports such as hiking, horseback riding, fourwheeling, mountain biking, roadbikes etc....but unfortunately our county is very poor. We have the highest unemployment rate in the state and with the present economy, the future is rather dismal. The school that I work at has very limited resources. All of our students qualify for free lunch & breakfast. We have a large population of special education students that have very limited exposure to the outside world. As a teacher, it has been a goal of mine for a very long time, for every child in my classroom to have use of a computer. I have requested, salvaged, begged, & borrowed computers. I have also signed up for all kinds of government surplus web sites but so far....not replies. I do not ask for many just 10 but I would be so happy with one, even if it is used. We will use these for years to come. Please, can someone help? Thank you, Loretta

The majority of the many miles of shoreline consist of wide sandy beaches with scattered cobble, backed by one of the best developed and most diverse forested dune and swale complexes in Michigan, with some spectacular wetland areas mixed throughout. The scattered cobble beach areas provide some of the best habitat in Michigan for the federally endangered piping plover. In fact, almost the entire shoreline of the proposed natural areas is designated as critical habitat for the piping plover.
The Great Lakes population of piping plovers was historically several hundred breeding pairs in size, but had declined to 17 breeding pairs by the time the species was listed as endangered by the federal government in 1986. Since then, the population has fluctuated between 12 and 50 breeding pairs with breeding areas largely confined to Michigan, and a large portion of those have been consistently at Wilderness State Park. During the 2002 nesting season, 16 of 52 active nests were at Wilderness.

OVB Outside Vertical Bar
VRCB Volatility Reduced Compression Bar
Brent Crude Oil (September '13):
- Short Term Trend is bullish.
- Confirmation of a top with a range violation on 07/24/2013 @ 107.00. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 06/27/2013 @ 102.82. Upside Targets = 104.35 – 104.89.
- September Brent Crude moved just slightly higher on Monday as it continued to increase the spread between itself and WTI back near $3 as the market continues to remain range bound as it has over the last three weeks.
- Traders should expect mostly a bout of backing and filling until mid-week and dependent upon the multiple data points expected to be released Wednesday, either explode to new four-month highs or break back below $104.
- Projected Daily Range: 1.39
- Projected Weekly Range: 4.31
- Projected Monthly Range: 9.49
WTI Crude Oil (September '13): (NYMEX:CLU13)
- Short Term Trend is bullish.
- Confirmation of a top with a range violation on 07/23/2013 @ 106.47. Confirmation of a top with a close violation on 07/24/2013 @ 105.39. Downside Targets = 103.61 – 102.75
- VRCB generated on Monday making new lows on the current move @ 103.87.
- September WTI Crude Oil fell marginally lower again on Monday in a very tight trading range as traders await a slew of economic data releases this week causing volatility to remain depressed likely until mid-week.
- Look for more of the same price action Tuesday as crude should back and fill between $104 and $105 throughout most of the trading session until Wednesday a.m.'s GDP report.
- Projected Daily Range: 1.67

Training camp means different things to different players. For instance, quarterback Carson Palmer is using the time to better learn the offense and get in synch with his receiving corps. A rookie such as defensive end Jack Crawford is just trying to find a way to make the 53-man roster.
Crawford took a huge step toward doing just that Wednesday by spending a great deal of time in the backfield, frustrating offensive linemen and harassing the quarterback.
Defensive players are prohibited from touching quarterbacks in practice. However, it's safe to say that Crawford would have sacked Matt Leinart three times in a game setting.
"I'm pleased with Jack," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "Jack, obviously, he's a young player, so he's still learning the game, but he's a big guy that's got athleticism, and he wants to be good. And if you have athleticism and some football instincts and you're willing to work to get there, then he'll, at some point, be a player for us."
Crawford is bright enough to realize that one good practice does not a successful NFL player make. Yet, it's a nice start to a fledgling career and a great way to stand out among 89 players.
"It's a lot of pressure," Crawford said. "Coming in as a rookie, nothing's safe; that's how I feel. There's nothing guaranteed in this league, so you really have to go and play every single play like it's your last. At the end of the day, you don't know how many plays you're going to have left."
One of the things that stands out about Crawford, Allen said, is that he takes care of business all the time. He isn't content just being a part of an NFL camp.
"He's willing to do the things that are necessary to be good," Allen said. "And in my experiences, some guys are willing to go that extra to really be good and some guys are looking for some shortcuts to take. They want to be good but they're not willing to pay the price to be good. And he's one of those that's willing to pay the price to be good."
— Suffice, it's going to take more than showing cut-ups of practice, lectures and lip service for the Raiders to shed their penchant for committing penalties.
On Wednesday, several players jumped offsides, especially in one-on-one pass-protection drills. Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly jumped offsides twice without the ball being snapped. Defensive end Lamarr Houston jumped three times in a span of a few snaps in the same drill.
Worse, two players jumped offsides on a punt, with one player being way offsides when the ball was snapped.
"It's part of the process," Allen said. "That's what happens when guys begin to get tired. They lose their focus a little bit, and that's the thing that we've got to continue to push through. I've been pleased with the penalty situation overall, but we still got to keep working on it."
The Raiders set league records for penalties and yards penalized last season. Allen has said all along that remedying that situation is a huge priority. Then again, so did Hue Jackson, Tom Cable, Lane Kiffin, Art Shell, Norv Turner and Bill Callahan.
Time will tell.
— The play might have gone unnoticed on a day that featured a countless number of plays. Yet, to those who have watched wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey throughout his NFL career, it passes as a glaring sign of just how far he has come since he arrived as the No. 7 pick of the 2009 NFL draft.
The play came late in practice, when quarterback Carson Palmer spotted Heyward-Bey in single coverage against second-year cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke. Palmer is famous for exploiting such matchups.
Sure enough, Palmer threw up the ball for Heyward-Bey to make a play on. As it turned out, the pass was underthrown by a bit.
In the past, it wasn't uncommon for Heyward-Bey to stick to the route, regardless the location of the ball. This time, Heyward-Bey broke off his route, positioned himself well and leaped for the ball.
Never mind that the ball fell incomplete. It's another sure sign that Heyward-Bey is maturing as a receiver and becoming a more well-rounded player.
"He's improved as a receiver, as a total receiver," Allen said. "His route running's better, he's catching the ball cleaner. His blocking has been good. We're going to ask our receivers to do a lot of things. He's really our most veteran receiver, so we're expecting him to stand up and be a leader for us."
— Allen talked about players taking short-cuts in discussing Crawford. A follow-up question along those lines elicited a rather pointed response that every player on the roster should digest.
"Doesn't take long," Allen said, when asked how long it takes to spot players taking short-cuts. "It doesn't take long. It sticks out like a sore thumb, and those are usually the guys that don't last very long. And if they do make it for a little while, you're always looking to replace them."
— Wide receiver Denarius Moore was held out of practice as a "precautionary" measure, Allen said, because of lingering effects from a hamstring injury Moore suffered in June.
It was believed that Moore would be at or near 100 percent when training camp rolled around. If so, he reinjured his hamstring Tuesday, when he looked limited.
Fortunately for the Raiders, Moore has plenty of time to recover. Also, it now gives younger receivers such as Rod Streater, Juron Criner and Duke Calhoun more opportunities to shine.
— Punter Shane Lechler (knee), cornerback Ron Bartell (hamstring), linebacker Aaron Curry (knee) and defensive tackle Travis Ivey (conditioning) missed practice for a third straight day. Tight end Richard Gordon (hip) also sat out. Allen said all are making progress. Running back Mike Goodson (hamstring) returned to practice after getting hurt Tuesday.
— Through three days, the same five guys have worked with the first-team offensive line: Jared Veldheer, Cooper Carlisle, Stefen Wisniewski, Mike Brisiel and Khalif Barnes.
Joseph Barksdale and Tony Bergstrom worked with the second-team line once again, with Barksdale mostly at right tackle and Bergstrom at left guard.
Allen said both players are being asked to practice on both sides of the line so that they become more versatile and, by extension, more valuable as backups.
— Today's practicde was pretty fast-paced, with very little wasted time between plays and the quarterbacks not using all the time on the play clock.
— Every player has his welcome-to-the-NFL moment. For rookie linebacker Miles Burris, it came on a play in which veteran running back Darren McFadden bolted around right end and toward the sideline.
Burris moved in, laid a hit on McFadden and watched as McFadden bounced off and continued around the corner.
"I was a little tentative on, 'Do I hit 20 or not? How does this go?' " Burris said.
Burris is pretty certain that he would have made the play in a game.
"Yeah, I would like to think that anybody with a ball in their hands, I would get him down," Burris said.
— Terrelle Pryor, no doubt, is Oakland's most-athletic quarterback. Evidene of that came on a play in which Pryor was pressured up the middle.
Pryor sensed the rush, rolled out left and delivered a strike to Calhoun. The pass was dropped. However, it served notice that Pryor can do things that not all quarterbacks are capable of doing.
Overall, Pryor looked sharp in his limited snaps. On another play, he noticed rookie Criner streaking across the middle and placed the ball right on line.
— Let the record show that the first training camp scuffle occurred on the third day, with strong safety Tyvon Branch and rookie Thomas Mayo exchanging blows, while Branch was atop Mayo.
No one got hurt after the brief skirmish, with players stepping in and breaking up things before they got out of hand.
"It was nothing like that," Branch said, when asked if he was setting the tone for the defense. "It was out of character for me. It's just camp. The first day of pads, everybody's amped up. Just a little camp squabble. Nothing major. We just got into it."
— Curry said he suffered his knee injury during an offseason workout and that he exacerbated the injury by trying to be a "tough guy" and play through the pain.
Now, he is heeding the advice of team athletic trainers and waiting until his knee is sound enough to resume practicing. In the interim, he is spending his time walking around the field, mentoring younger players and assuming a coaching role.
"I'm the best coach on the field," Curry said. "Guys can feel comfortable to come to me to ask questions, which requires me to do all my homework on the defense, especially at my position. I can coach everything about linebackers in this defense.
"So, I'm just taking pride right now. I'm trying to outcoach coach (Jason) Tarver, I'm trying to outcoach coach (Johnnie)Holland on our position. Being a player, players will be more comfortable approaching another player with questions because they don't have to worry about being evaluated."
Give Curry an A for finding a way to contribute, even though he isn't able to suit up and play right now. It's not uncommon for injured players to shut it down and show up again when they're healthy.

"They can't talk or bark yet. Their opinions don't count yet." — Kelly on calling rookies pups

Lessons of habitat
Last July, Nancy Eastman was leafing through HCN when she came across a photo of artificial cholla built by California scientists (HCN, 7/21/08). The imitation cacti are intended to serve as nesting sites for beleaguered coastal cactus wrens, but they're also great gangly jumbles of spikes, pipes and spindly legs. Eastman, an artist and landscaper, thought she could improve them, at least aesthetically. "They were so ugly," she said.
So over the next few months, Eastman bound together jute cord and barrel staves, silk thread and sagebrush to make four habitat structures of her own. Her creations won't end up in the wilderness; they're destined for a client's property near Telluride. But that's OK: She built them not only to become habitat, but to symbolize it as well. "People think sagebrush is endless and lasts forever, but nothing is beyond extinction," she says. "The art reminds us of our transience."
Eastman, who grew up on Colorado's Front Range before its communities merged into a sea of sprawl, shakes her head at the way our lives have become insulated from the landscapes in which we live. So she works to "bring as much wildness as possible into Denver" through her landscaping firm, Art of the Land, which plants native flora. Lately, she's also been making small sculptures inspired by threatened habitats. Before the fake cacti caught her eye, she stumbled upon a piece of cottonwood that reminded her of coral. Eastman fashioned it into a comment on the undersea ecosystems that suffer as our carbon emissions cause the oceans to acidify.
Every natural community that collapses takes with it a unique means of relating to the world around us, says Eastman, and there's knowledge in those relationships that we can't afford to lose. "The work is about the human habitat and the animal habitat, and how much we can learn from each other," says Eastman. "In the greater ecosystem, we're all equal."

Tone-deafness is nothing new at the NCAA.
The guys in charge haven't been listening to anyone except each other for years.
That's why they prattle on endlessly about "student-athletes." And why nothing approaching real reform ever gets done. It's also why so many of the few things they actually get off their duffs and do seem so arbitrary. And especially why they still come down hard on kids who get free meals and go easy on the athletic factories that make a fortune off all that free (student-athlete) labor.
Because that's the way the NCAA has always rolled.
Yet even with that checkered past, this latest bit of tomfoolery marks an embarrassing new low.
It began when a 24-year-old named Steven Rhodes finished a five-year stint in the Marines this summer, then decided to go back to school and find out if he could still play some football. So he wrote to the coaches at Middle Tennessee State and asked to walk onto the team.
On the plus side, Rhodes stood 6-foot-3, weighed 240 and was versatile enough to work out at both tight end and defensive end; and as a former sergeant, the MTSU coaches knew he was bound to set a good example in the locker room. The one drawback was that Rhodes hadn't played any football since his senior season at Antioch (Tenn.) High in 2006, unless you count the dozen or so games he played in a rec league on a Marine base last year.
Which, naturally, the NCAA did.
Some eagle-eyed investigator noticed that Rhodes was in violation of a rule stipulating that student-athletes (there's that word again) who don't enroll in college within a year of graduating high school lose one year of college eligibility for every academic year they participate in "organized competition."
According to the NCAA, those rec league games counted because both teams and the officials wore uniforms and somebody kept score. And because the dozen games were spread over two academic years, Rhodes was ordered to sit out this season and forfeit two years of eligibility total. Sounds fair to me.
"Man, it was like intramurals for us," Rhodes told The (Murfreesboro) Daily News Journal, which first reported the story. "There were guys out there anywhere from 18 to 40-something years old. The games were spread out. We once went six weeks between games."
As one writer at The Big Lead cracked wise: "Just like the BCS National Championship Game. You can see why the NCAA thinks this is similar to collegiate football."
In any case, the school appealed, an uproar ensued and on Monday the NCAA reversed course, deciding Rhodes was entitled to four years of eligibility and could play right away.
"We thank Steven for his service to our country and wish him the best as he begins college," NCAA vice president of academic and membership affairs Kevin Lennon said — likely just moments after he finished picking crow's feathers out of his teeth,
Lennon also promised that, "As a part of the ongoing review of NCAA rules, our members will examine the organized competition rules, especially as it impacts those returning from military service."
In case you missed it, the NCAA announced its latest set of sweeping rule changes less than three weeks ago. Apparently there were so many other stupid rules to review and/or get rid of, that this one — dating to 1980 — slipped through the net. It's a small mistake, granted, except it's also part of a larger pattern. The NCAA has continued making money, but it hasn't gotten much else right since Mark Emmert took over as president.
The organization compromised its integrity by playing fast and loose with its own rules while investigating Miami's football program. It just bowed out of a licensing deal with Electronic Arts for a popular college football video game, hoping to limit its exposure in a lawsuit brought by former college athletes that could result in billions of dollars in damages, not to mention a first-ever payday for current Division I football and basketball players.
Member schools, meanwhile, are likely to extend their own separate licensing deals with EA. It's an arrangement that, just like the BCS, enables those same schools to go around the NCAA and divvy up what used to be its share among themselves. If those same power brokers ever figure out how to do the same with the basketball tournament, and a few are already working on a scheme to do just that, poof! — there goes the NCAA's operating budget.
There was a time when the NCAA used to make rulings in cases like Rhodes' — and others just as silly — and made them stick. But even that bit of petty authority no longer goes unchallenged. Small wonder the NCAA looks less scary and more irrelevant with each passing day.

The national gun debate swelled Tuesday as Arizona and the country commemorated the shooting rampage in Tucson, Ariz., two years ago that killed six people and left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords injured — an anniversary that came on the heels of the mass killing at a Connecticut elementary school. Here's how some state and local leaders are taking action:
ARIZONA — Giffords and her husband on Tuesday launched a political action committee aimed at curbing gun violence, while two politicians on opposite ends of the gun debate held dueling weapons buybacks outside a Tucson police station.
In Maricopa County, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has said he plans to post armed volunteers on school perimeters to protect Phoenix-area students.
His plan, announced last month, came after two other Arizona officials released ideas for boosting school security: Attorney General Tom Horne proposed firearms training for one person in each school, and Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu proposed training multiple educators per school to carry guns.
NEW YORK — Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he will make gun control a major part of his State of the State address on Wednesday, in which he will set his 2013 legislative agenda. He insists on a new ban on assault rifles, which he said must close loopholes in state law, and a ban on high-capacity clips for ammunition.
Tense, closed-door talks among legislative leaders continue. Republicans also seek to crack down on illegal guns and want longer court-ordered mental health treatment for individuals who won't seek help, but are deemed to be a safety threat.
ILLINOIS — The state's attorney general on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to review a lawsuit challenging the state's ban on concealed carry in an effort to salvage the only law in the nation that makes the practice entirely illegal.
Last month, a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Illinois ban as unconstitutional and gave lawmakers 180 days to write a law legalizing it. Attorney General Lisa Madigan is asking that all 10 judges on the court rehear the case.
CONNECTICUT — U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal announced Tuesday he plans to introduce federal legislation that would require instant background checks for purchasers of ammunition.
It is now illegal to sell firearms and ammunition to certain groups, including felons and the mentally ill. But background checks, Blumenthal said, are required only for the sale of firearms, not the bullets.
WASHINGTON — Seattle police and political leaders on Tuesday announced a new gun buyback program in which people can anonymously turn in their weapons for a shopping gift card worth up to $200.
Amazon.com, which has been expanding its Seattle headquarters, kicked in $30,000 in Amazon gift cards for the program — $100 for each handgun, rifle or shotgun turned in, and $200 for each gun classified as an assault weapon under state law.
Other donors also pitched in for a total of more than $100,000, the mayor's office said.
UTAH — A Spring City councilman wants all residents in the small town to be armed against possible aggressors.
Councilman Neil Sorensen says he's drafting a measure that would recommend that a gun be in every household in the town of 1,000, about 90 miles south of Salt Lake City. The measure will go before the full council in February.
The City Council already has approved funding to offer concealed firearms training to the 20 teachers and administrators at the local elementary school this week.
COLORADO — Following last summer's Aurora theater shooting, a vigorous debate on gun control is expected during the 2013 lawmaking session that starts Wednesday.
Democrats now control both chambers of the Legislature so Colorado could see a flurry of measures to curb access to firearms — including a possible assault-weapons ban.
"I want to find a way to eliminate assault weapons, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that," said Senate President John Morse, a former police chief.
VERMONT — The Burlington City Council is supporting a proposed ban on assault rifles and multiple ammunition clips in the city.
The resolution passed the council on a 10-3 vote Monday night. It would need to go before a committee, eventually be voted on by the public and then be sent to the Legislature before it could be approved.
Elsewhere, organizers of an annual gun show in Barre say they'll allow the showing and sale of assault weapons despite a request by the city's mayor that the weapons not be displayed in the aftermath of the Connecticut shooting. The two-day gun show is set to begin Feb. 9.
RHODE ISLAND — Providence Mayor Angel Taveras wants to hold a statewide gun buyback event.
Taveras, a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, also is talking with other mayors in the Ocean State about legislative proposals to strengthen state gun laws.
NEBRASKA — A Lincoln city councilman wants police officers assigned to more schools.
School resource officers already are assigned to each public high school. Councilman Gene Carroll wants the city and school district to consider adding them to middle schools.
CALIFORNIA — A one-day gun buyback program in Los Angeles brought in 2,037 firearms.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office said the weapons collected Dec. 26 included 901 handguns, 698 rifles, 363 shotguns and 75 assault weapons. The buyback is usually held in May but was moved up in response to the Connecticut shooting.
In San Diego, gun owners traded more than 350 weapons for grocery vouchers Dec. 21 as authorities vowed to step up firearms exchanges.

Playing the first of four consecutive matches at home, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (10W-12L-7D) host Western Conference rivals Colorado Rapids (9W-18L-2D) for the second time this season on Sunday afternoon.
For the first time in over a month, the Blue and White return to the friendly confines of Bell Pitch at BC Place, with Martin Rennie's side looking to get back on track after a tough spell that has resulted in five straight league defeats. Whitecaps FC are also looking for a third straight win over the Rapids this season, having claimed a pair of 1-0 victories over Colorado during the campaign. They are also looking to build on a strong home record of 7W-2L-4D this weekend.
Sunday's match between Whitecaps FC and Colorado Rapids at BC Place kicks off at 4:30 p.m. PT. Individual match tickets start at $20, plus applicable service charges, and are available at all Ticketmaster Ticket Centres, online at ticketmaster.ca, and Charge-by-Phone at 1.855.6.GO-CAPS (1.855.646.2277). CLICK HERE for more information on Whitecaps FC tickets.
Whitecaps FC's home match versus Colorado Rapids can also be seen live on Sportsnet Pacific, Sportsnet ONE, and Bell mobile devices at 4:30 p.m. PT. 'Caps fans can also listen to Sunday's match live on TEAM 1410 radio and teamradio.ca, starting with the pre-game show at 2:30 p.m. PT. TEAM 1410 will also have a two-hour post-game show, which will begin following the match at around 6:30 p.m. PT. Fans can also follow Sunday's match on Twitter @WhitecapsMatch.
With four of their last five regular season games at home, Whitecaps FC have put their focus on what lies ahead. Sunday sees the 'Caps play their first match at BC Place in 38 days and it may be just the type of game that will help Rennie's squad get back on track. Though last weekend's trip to FC Dallas ended in heartbreak, there were enough signs from the performance in Texas to suggest that Vancouver may be about to turn a corner. With the 'Caps back in familiar surroundings, the role that supporters could play in Whitecaps FC's potential turnaround could prove just as pivotal to the outcome of the club's second season in MLS.
What Rennie and his players know is that they control their own destiny, and considering how confident the 'Caps have been to attack opponents at home this season, Sunday's match should see an attack-minded formation played against Colorado. Darren Mattocks looks set to make his first start since last month's defeat at Seattle Sounders FC, while his Jamaican international teammate Dane Richards should also be in consideration after some fine displays at BC Place this summer. At the back, goalkeeper Brad Knighton is in line to make his third consecutive start after solid performances at LA Galaxy and FC Dallas.
Mattocks will be full of confidence come Sunday after topping MLSsoccer.com's '24 under 24' ranking for 2012 on Friday. Midfielder Gershon Koffie was #12 in this year's list, while striker Omar Salgado came in at #23.
With home matches against Seattle, Chivas USA, and Portland Timbers to follow the Colorado clash, Whitecaps FC may be further boosted by the availability of a fully fit squad. Salgado continues his recovery from a foot fracture with a full week of training, while centre back Andy O'Brien is also back after being sidelined recently with an adductor strain. Experienced striker Atiba Harris is another option that Rennie can turn to following his recovery from knee surgery earlier in the season.
It has been a tough first season for Colorado head coach Oscar Pareja, with the Rapids facing an uphill battle to get into the playoff picture in Western Conference. After a 2-0 defeat at LA Galaxy on September 14 left Colorado eight points adrift of Vancouver for the final playoff spot in the west, the Rapids face a must-win situation on Sunday, if they are to have any hope of being in the postseason race. Yet, despite only three wins and 10 points in their last 16 league matches, Colorado have given Whitecaps FC some very good battles this season. Those that attended the June 16 match at BC Place will know of the Rapids' quality after Pareja's side contributed to one of the more memorable games of the season.
If Colorado are to make a late season push up the Western Conference standings, then the form of first-choice goalkeeper Matt Pickens will be essential, as will the leadership of captain Jeff Larentowicz in central midfield. With injuries to Brazilian forward Edu (foot) and rookie Tony Cascio (ankle), the Rapids' attack will look to striker Andre Akpan, veteran goalscorer Conor Casey, Colombian midfielder Jaime Castrillon, and Jamaican international Omar Cummings for production. In Honduran international Hendry Thomas, Colorado have a midfielder with English Premier League experience following a spell at Wigan Athletic FC.
The Rapids will be without defender Anthony Wallace (Achilles), veteran Pablo Mastroeni (headaches), and midfielder Davy Armstrong (personal medical issue) on Sunday. Casey (knee) and Cummings (ankle) are listed as probable.
Sunday's match is the fifth MLS meeting between Whitecaps FC and the Rapids, with both clubs having won and lost twice to each other in four previous MLS contests since 2011. Vancouver's first-ever league win over Colorado was an heroic effort at BC Place on June 16, as a ten-man Whitecaps FC side earned a 1-0 victory through a fine Sebastien Le Toux winner in the second half. That was followed by the club's first league win in Colorado on July 4. Mattocks' fortuitous winner just before halftime at Dick's Sporting Goods Park took Vancouver past their 2011 MLS points total of 28 and by the midway point of this current campaign.
Prior to 2011, Whitecaps FC played 21 matches versus former American Professional Soccer League (APSL)/A-League club Colorado Foxes. From 1992 to 1997, Vancouver registered an overall record of 10 wins and 11 defeats versus Colorado, with the 'Caps claiming seven wins and four defeats at home to the Foxes during that time.
There are many connections between both sets of players. Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Joe Cannon and defender/midfielder Jordan Harvey are former Rapids players, while 'Caps director of soccer operations Tom Soehn played for former APSL club Colorado Foxes from 1992 to 1994.

Mary's daughter, Hilary, of Tucson, tried unsuccessfully to contact her mom by phone for several days and began to worry about her. So she contacted a family friend, Bill Hedden, to check on her. When Bill arrived he found the front door open and Mary lying just inside on the floor at the bottom of stairs, apparently having been there for several days. The Grand County Sheriff's Office was notified and began an investigation into her death.
Speculation on the scene was that she fell on the stairs, but an autopsy performed by the Utah State Medical Examiner's office in Salt Lake City revealed that she suffered a pulmonary embolism, which led to her death.
"That explained a lot," said ex-husband Tom Rees of Moab. "She was not the type to trip or fall."
Tom and Mary divorced years ago but maintained a close relationship over the years.
A memorial service, which was held at Pack Creek Ranch Saturday, Jan. 12, drew a lot of people who were supportive and offered many positive thoughts, which helped the family with closure, according to Tom. Mary leaves behind her two children, Tait (Koel) of Boulder, Colo., and Hilary, a college student from Tucson. Tait and Koel are expecting their first child very soon.
Tom and Mary were well established when we moved here in April 1978, and Mary taught us how to prune our fruit trees and many other gardening tips shortly after we arrived, while Tom helped me build trusses for our new home. The only picture of Mary that I have was one of her and Tom standing in front of their newly completed home. It was taken in March 1978. The house received several additions over the years and is a lovely home.
Mary could be seen many days parked along the Castleton Road as she walked the red hills at the base of the mesas close to her home and also collected seeds for her successful native plant nursery here in the valley. We will miss her quiet and pleasing demeanor, while the community loses another Castle Valley modern-day pioneer.

"Foundation drilling on [state Route] 128 will require one-way traffic with signals in two locations during the week of Jan. 14 to the 18," according to the news release from Flatiron Constructors, the contractor of the Lions Park Transit Hub and Colorado River Pathway Project. Flatiron's Project Information Coordinator Ken Davis said the areas of one-way traffic will continue 24 hours a day as needed. The work on the pedestrian tunnel and transit hub will also continue through the month.

Six members of the Castle Valley Fire Department attended the annual Winter Fire School at the Dixie Convention Center in St. George last Friday and Saturday. The event is hosted by the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy at Utah Valley University in Orem. Nearly 60 classes are available to fire departments across the state, with top-notch instructors from all over the country assembled to teach the classes.
The local firefighters who attended the school included Lesley Craig, Jazmine Duncan, Greg Halliday, Chris Michaud, Mitch Stock, and Robert Russell. The classes offer all aspects of structural and wildland firefighting, wilderness medicine, fire apparatus and pump maintenance, arson investigation, and experiencing a live flashover fire, among many other classes.

Some residents were organizing an effort to bring television signals to Castle Valley 30 years ago this week. One resident approached the county commissioners about getting a television translator that the county owned and was previously used by the residents of Thompson Springs. The commissioners agreed to let Castle Valley have the equipment if a special service district could be formed to manage it.
At the same time, Moab's United Cable office showed an interest in servicing the area with television signals by setting up four channels and maintaining the equipment for a yearly fee. If that possibility didn't materialize, the organizers planned to pursue the possibility of setting the county equipment on Porcupine Rim above Porcupine Ranch, where power is close by. The translator would pick up signals from Cedar Ridge near Green River, Utah, then re-broadcast into the valley. The translator handled only one channel. Either way, a special service district would have had to be set up to fund the project.
Neither of those options happened and residents eventually were able to take advantage of technology that allowed individual homes to purchase their own television dish receivers.

Longtime Timken High School teacher Nadine McIlwain-Massey, now 70, ended her 12-year career on the Canton City school board Tuesday.
Nadine McIlwain-Massey knew she would be an educator since 8th grade.
She recalls when her teacher at Edgefield Elementary School instructed the class to complete a series of new math questions.
As she began to work through the calculations, she heard sniffles coming from the desk behind her.
She turned to see Connie Garros, a blue-eyed girl with long blonde pigtails who was considered one of the smartest students in the class, crying because she couldn't solve the problem.
"I told her to do this, this and this, and she caught on, just like that," she said.
The teacher, who thought she was cheating, told her to mark an 'F' on her paper. McIlwain-Massey, then known as Nadine Williams, complied, without argument.
"I didn't care. I knew I wasn't cheating, wasn't doing anything wrong," she said. "I was so happy to see her (Garros) smiling. ... If I could put that kind of smile on every kid's face, I would be so happy."
McIlwain-Massey went on to teach for 19 years at Timken High School, then became a principal for seven years at Stanton Middle School in Alliance, where she was the first Stark County educator to earn the prestigious Milken Family National Educator's Award. After a two-year stint as an elementary school principal in Dayton, she retired from the classroom in 1999. In 2001, she began the second phase of her career in education — as a school board member for the Canton City School District.
McIlwain-Massey, who did not seek re-election, ended her 12-year career on the board Tuesday. School officials have made sure that her name will live on in the district.
Last month, the Canton City school board surprised McIlwain-Massey by renaming the district's administrative office building as the "Nadine McIlwain Administrative Center" to honor her years as an educator and board member.
At the unveiling ceremony, Canton Mayor William J. Healy II issued a proclamation to honor McIlwain-Massey. He joked that like celebrities Madonna and Cher, everyone knows her on a first-name basis.
"In Canton, Ohio, if I say the name 'Nadine,' no doubt (they know who) you are talking about," Healy said. "When you go by your first name only, you've made it in life."
McIlwain-Massey's son, Randy McIlwain, told the more than 80 people in the audience about his mother's dedication to the students and teachers, from providing a place to stay for striking teachers in 1978 to spending time and money for students in need of a parental figure. He also noted how his late father, Albert McIlwain, has his name on the Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority building.
"The whole city now knows what we knew growing up, that we have great parents," he said.
Among those in the audience were eight former students, including Artesia Hawkins.
Hawkins, who had a reputation of being a fighter and bully back when she attended Stanton Middle School, recalls the day she met McIlwain-Massey.
"First thing she said was, ... 'This school is not big enough for the both of us,' " Hawkins recalled.
Hawkins, who will soon graduate from Stark State College with a degree in social work, credits McIlwain-Massey for believing in her and for often shuttling her to and from school.
"She always said, 'You are going to be something,' " Hawkins said. "... If it wasn't for her, I would've quit a long time ago."
McIlwain-Massey said later that she took an interest in Hawkins because the child reminded her of herself at a young age.
"I saw me in her, but without ... the support system I had, without the direction I had," McIlwain-Massey said.
McIlwain-Massey grew up living with her paternal grandmother, Cora Lee McDonald, on Harrison Avenue NW in Plain Township, in a home that included two aunts, two uncles, cousins and her sister, Dona Hall.
While her grandmother had only a third grade education, McIlwain-Massey said she was one of the smartest women she ever knew, teaching life lessons as well as patience, loyalty and love.
"She would say, 'You can discipline your children, but you don't break their spirit,' " McIlwain-Massey said.
McIlwain-Massey credits her father, who divorced her mother when she was six months old, for her stubbornness and determination.
"He would not stand by and be treated less than a man," McIlwain-Massey said. " ... Even if it meant his job."
For the needs that weren't met by her family, she got from her church and the then-Canton Urban League.
"They (Urban League) had a way of telling all of us children that you can do whatever you want to do," she said.
She recalled being about 14 years old when the Urban League's youth leader took a group of children to the county fairgrounds to ice skate. They were told they couldn't participate due to the color of their skin, but the youth leader didn't give up. He sued the fair board in court, arguing that the fairgrounds was supported by taxpayers and should be open to all children. The Urban League won, but the children got to skate only once before the fairground operator closed the rink.
"The Urban League taught us that justice was justice," McIlwain-Massey said.
During her teaching years at Timken High School, McIlwain-Massey, who taught primarily American history, American government and sociology, believed that education was more than simply test scores.
"It was about real life, grades were not the most important thing in the course," she said. " ... I thought grades shouldn't be the barrier to learning."
She would have her students conduct their own sociology experiments, such as whether students would notify authorities if they saw a crime committed, and test their own theories, such as whether The Repository published more stories about McKinley than Timken by counting the number of inches that appeared about the schools in the newspaper.
She took the same out-of-the-box approach when she became principal at Stanton by introducing two annual events: A beach party held every February to keep students interested in school and an annual conference, called VISIONS, that focused on social and interpersonal topics such as religion and pregnancy support.
"They were adult sessions, but we did it with sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders," she said.
In 1993, the Milken Family Foundation recognized McIlwain-Massey's efforts and awarded her its National Educator's Award and a $25,000 check.
"It says all the work you put into education, all the minds you change is all worth it," she said.
In 2001, McIlwain-Massey, who married William Massey in 2002, was elected to serve on the Canton City school board. She describes the time when she took office as a period of rebuilding for the district with nearly every school building undergoing renovation and replacement. It was followed by several years of inaction, McIlwain-Massey said, during which no new initiatives were undertaken and the school district began to hemorrhage students. But it's been the past four years that have been the toughest of her board career, she said.
The five-member board faced public outcry in 2012 after it chose not to renew McKinley football coach Ron Johnson's contract.
"The reaction was over the top," recalled McIlwain-Massey, who declined to elaborate on the board's discussions that were made in closed-door sessions, "simply because that was our job to do what we did."
A month later, Superintendent Michele Evans resigned, and, in November, Superintendent Chris Smith died.
"I don't think (any previous board's) time was as rough as our time," McIlwain-Massey said.
McIlwain-Massey, now 70, said she would have considered staying on the board for a few more years, but didn't want to commit to another four-year term.
"I'd be 74 (in four years), and the kind of work and stamina required, I couldn't do it," said McIlwain-Massey, who plans to golf and travel in her retirement. "I was OK if it was a two-term term, not four."
She added that the appointment of Adrian Allison as superintendent a year ago and the introduction of the Brighter Tomorrow plan, which will reorganize how the district approaches education, has made her more comfortable about her decision to leave.
"I'm leaving the district in good hands," she said.
John M. Rinadli, who was elected in November, will succeed McIlwain-Massey on the board.

Andy Reid defended his decision to hand-off to LeSean McCoy with less than two minutes left and the Eagles' trailing the Redskins, 31-6, on Sunday.
McCoy suffered a concussion on the play and left the field on a cart. The Eagles running back was later seen needing assistance from a team trainer as he walked into the locker room at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.
Reid said Monday that McCoy still had a headache and was in Stage 1 of his recovery from the concussion.
"I don't regret it. It happened," Reid said. "Do I wish he wouldn't have been hurt? Yeah, I do. I wish he wouldn't have been hurt."
Reid said after the game that his motivation in playing McCoy, the Eagles all pro tailback, was to try and win the game. A day later, he said that he has to balance resting his stars against a player wanting to remain in games until their end.
"These kids want to play," Reid said. "There's two sides to this. ... You'll probably come back and ask me that, 'Do the players -- do you feel like they quit?' They want to play. They want to win the game. They want to get better. They want to show that they're all-in.
"So there's a fine line ... as coaches you want to make sure that the guys know that you're all-in, too."
Reid was then asked if it was his job as head coach to take into consideration what may be best for a player.
"It's my job to weigh that out. If you want to put that on me, I fully take that," Reids said. "I also have a pretty good feeling, I think, for my football team."
McCoy was resting at his family's home in Harrisburg, Pa. as of Sunday evening. He was alert, but "foggy and tired," according to a source close to the running back. Reid did not give any indication if McCoy would be permitted to play in Monday night's game against the Panthers.
"Just take it day by day," Reid said. "He's got a bit of a headache now."
If McCoy can't play, rookie Bryce Brown would start in his place.

1. The SAB provided its provisional approval to the "Recommended Metadata Correction Policy" presented by the Zephir team from CDL. The Zephir team (Lynne Cameron, Kathryn Stine, and Patricia Martin) will rework and then resubmit the policy language based on the following feedback provided to them by the SAB. The SAB identified the main policy issues from which metadata correction processes can be developed:
- The institution of record will be encouraged to update changes in a bibliographic record and then resubmit the record to HT, and
- Provisional, unilateral changes to a record will be made when time is of the essence, e.g., rights determinations based on incorrect bibliographic metadata.
2. The SAB provided the Board of Governors its final draft of the "HathiTrust Services Committee Charge." The SAB has seen the need for focused attention on the end-user for some time. The goal is to provide an evidence-based service development plan for the HT community. The SAB seeks Board approval.
3. The SAB had an opportunity to discuss the CRL proposal. In principle, the SAB fully supports strategic partnerships including preservation and access to content that is useful to the HT partnership and beyond. The SAB, for example, is enthusiastically supportive of a government documents effort. These partnerships, however, must not jeopardize or sacrifice the common good mission of HathiTrust. For example, free and open access to Public Domain material is fundamental to the partnership. The SAB first seeks the guidance of the Board of Governors on an overall partnership strategy before engaging in specific initiatives.

Michelle Goodrum of The Turning of Generations blog has initiated a year-long set of bite-sized projects to encourage us all to become more organised (see, I spelt it correctly there. But then, I'm British...) It is called the 21st Century Organized Family Historian, and you can read the introductory blog post here.
The projects include topics such as "Develop a Digital Organization Scheme", "Set Up a Work Area", "Eight Steps to Organize Heritage Photos", and so on. I have come into this set of projects halfway through the year, so I will only be doing some and not others from the backlog. For instance, I will not be attacking the ones regarding preparation for the US 1940 census (since my ancestors were born and died in the UK) - although I am working on said census as part of FamilySearch indexing.
Still, as any genealogist knows, you should never say "never" to anything and consider yourself so expert on a particular subject that you don't need to follow excellent back-to-basics projects like some of these. Yes, of course you need to budget your time wisely, but along with that wisdom should come the phrase "I Am Not a Genealogy Snob."

A prominent optics entrepreneur, a noted medical scientist and medical school dean, and a leading Rochester business executive have joined the University's Board of Trustees.
John Bruning, the retired president and CEO of Corning Tropel Corp., Dr. Philip A. Pizzo, the dean of Stanford University's medical school, and Daniel Wegman, the CEO of the Rochester-based supermarket business Wegmans Food Markets Inc., are the University's newest trustees.
"The talent and dedication of our Board of Trustees sets the standard for how a great university can envision an agenda and inspire others," said University President Joel Seligman. "We are indeed fortunate to welcome John Bruning, Phil Pizzo, and Danny Wegman at such an important and auspicious time in the University's history."
Edmund "Ed" Hajim, chairman of the Board of Trustees, praised the new trustees' professional accomplishments. "The success each of them has achieved in science, medicine, and business makes them ideally suited to help us further strengthen the University's leadership in education, research, and patient care," Hajim said. "They join an energetic and accomplished board that strives to take the University to the next level."
For 25 years, Bruning helped lead Corning Tropel, a manufacturer of precision optical systems and advanced metrology instrumentation for the semiconductor, data storage, automotive, and industrial markets. He served as vice president and general manager, president and CEO, and executive scientist. Founded in 1953 by University scientists, the company was purchased by Bruning and his associates in 1994 and later acquired by Corning. Bruning earned his doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois.
Pizzo, the Carl and Elizabeth Naumann Professor at Stanford, has served as dean of Stanford's medical school since 2001. He earned his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1970. One of the nation's most highly regarded experts on the treatment of childhood cancers and on the diagnosis, management, and prevention of infectious complications in patients with compromised immune systems, he previously was physician-in-chief and chair of Children's Hospital in Boston, where he was a professor and chair of pediatrics at Harvard University. Pizzo serves in numerous leadership positions and is the recipient of several honors, including election to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.
Wegman, who was named CEO of his family's supermarket company in 2005, joined the business in 1964 and became president in 1976. The Wegmans grocery chain was founded in Rochester in 1916 and currently has more than 70 supermarkets in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland.
Wegman, who earned his bachelor's degree from Harvard, is a founding member of the board of directors of Rochester's Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection and a member of the board of the Rochester Business Alliance.

HUDSON -- Police are asking for help from the pubic identifying a suspect in stealing at a liquor store in Merrimack and a theft from the state store in Hudson.

THEY ARE COZY AND NOT AT ALL ITCHY TO THE SKIN.THE RHINESTONES THAT SPELL OUT THE BEBE LOGO SPARKLE AND REALLY POP.THEY ARE PERFECT WITH JEANS OR WITH LEGGINGS. THEY ARE A LITTLE LONGER THAN THE TRADITIONAL FITTED TEE, SO IT CAN BE WORN WITH REAL LOWRISE JEANS AND STILL HAVE FULL COVERAGE. OR THEY CAN BE WORN TUCKED IN, SO THE EXTRA LENGTH COMES IN HANDY. I ADORE MINE! I THINK ANYONE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE ONE OR MORE OF THESE SWEET AND SOFT YET SEXY TEES! HOPE THAT HELPS! Pia

Rated 4 out of 5 by heather from "cute, a little small" "I bought this in purple in my usual size, small. I'm 5'1 120 lbs. It was really tight, especially across the chest (I'm a 34 C) and kind of short! Which is weird for me because I have such a short torso. Otherwise, it's very cute, I just have to layer a long tank underneath it."
