You jump at the chance. An article would boost the visibility of your fairly new private practice—and perhaps send more clients your way—and help parents recognize if their children need to be evaluated. The interview goes well, but you are disappointed with the article. The reporter used several of your quotes out of context, giving readers the impression that many children "outgrow" their speech difficulties. Choosing to engage with the media involves some degree of risk. On the whole, news stories involving ASHA members are positive, serving as excellent promotional and public education vehicles. But if you're not happy with the outcome of a story, what can you do? Besides writing a letter to the editor or commenting online (see below), there's not much you can do once the article is published. The ideal is always prevention. You can take several steps to help ensure accurate reporting: Get the details. The more you know about a story in advance, the better. Ask the reporter why he or she is writing the article and who else is being interviewed. Ask for the questions in advance. If it is a broadcast interview, find out the format and expected length of the segment, whether it is live or taped, and others who will be appearing with you. Most reporters or producers will provide these details. Their answers can give you a good idea of the direction of the story, and raise any potential red flags. Prepare your messaging. What are the most important points you want to communicate? Think of two or three key messages ahead of time and how you can communicate these succinctly and in plain language. If you speak in "sound bites," a reporter is more likely to quote you and less likely to paraphrase what you said. Be deliberate in what you say. Don't make a statement you aren't 100 percent comfortable with, and never speculate or guess (you can always say you'll get back to the reporter if you don't have an immediate answer). Remember that when you are speaking to a reporter, anything you say is on the record, even if you think the formal interview portion is over (or hasn't started) and you are just casually chatting. Ask to review any quote attributed to you prior to publication. Some reporters will be willing to send quotes, and others will not. Different publications (and reporters) have different policies, but it never hurts to ask. If you're not happy with a published piece, consider a few options. Put it in perspective. Many of us tend to be our own worst critics. Take a step back and consider if the article and/or your quote is really as bad as you think it is, or if you would have just preferred different wording. Media stories rarely—if ever—turn out in the exact way you'd choose if you did it yourself. You may want to ask a colleague for an unbiased opinion. Consider the long view. Sometimes the media get things wrong, but they also do things right. Ideally, you want to cultivate a long-term relationship in which you have several opportunities to be covered—and covered correctly. So the question becomes: If you decide to challenge coverage, you want to make your points effectively without jeopardizing your chances for future coverage. Ask for a correction. If you have been misquoted or the piece contains factual errors, you can ask for a correction. Contact the editor and raise your concerns, with specific supporting references and evidence. Be aware, however, that publications rarely issue corrections unless the inaccuracy is irrefutable. If your objection doesn't meet the strict criteria for corrections, you still may want to reach out to the reporter and/or editor. Many appreciate the feedback. Your conversation may not change the published piece, but it may affect future stories. Write a letter to the editor. Published letters provide feedback to a publication and gain the attention of its readership. Submit your letter immediately after a story appears—timeliness increases the chance it will be published. Check the publication's guidelines (word count, submission procedures, etc.) and make sure you follow them. Also, include your complete contact information and be available in the days after you submit, as news outlets typically contact writers to verify authorship and notify them of edits. Post a comment. Commenting on the online version of a piece is generally the easiest and most direct way to respond. Be timely and factual—not emotional. This feedback route is effective, especially since many sites have largely eliminated inappropriate comments by requiring readers to register with the site or post through their Facebook profiles. It is important to remember that for the most part, the good outweighs the bad when dealing with media. Media coverage is perhaps the best way to educate the public about communication disorders and the professions.

Swati Jain, Trainee Reporter MassCoMedia
A man fully clad, barely open eyes, sits on a bench and says in his shivering voice "One tea please" then "one more, one more, one more…!" and the person who is most pleased by listening these words is the Chaiwala. Such type of scene could be seen easily in any street corner of National Capital Region (NCR).
The hot vapor of tea is the best healer of cold wintry breeze, so the tea makers are fully encashing the warmth of hot tea in this frosty weather. Where most of the people are only having problem with the low temperature, the tea makers are very much happy with the situation. "The sales has increased a lot, now a days", said a tea maker, Rajesh. With the downfall in temperature, the tea business is rising day by day. The work hour span has increased and most of the tea stalls are open late nights. There is a rapid growth in frequency of drinking tea. "I usually had one-two cups of tea per day but now I am taking four-five cups a day" said a BPO employee, Ankit Aggarwal.
The non drinkers are also switching towards it, some to get relief from their cold and some just to enjoy the weather with friends. And for the regular tea lovers, this is the golden time as a student, Puja says," Nothing can be better than a cup of hot tea in such a cold day". Winter also has added different flavors to the tea, with tea at its best in the season.
So whether this winter has taken anything good or not, but it surely has brought smile on some faces.

Outstanding film; technically horrible dvd
Bob Torres | 09/04/2003
(1 out of 5 stars)
""Solas" is -- hands down -- an outstanding film that paints a realistic portrait of some of the contemporary issues in Spanish culture. This version of the DVD, however, is totally worthless. For one, the presentation is a poorly mastered 4:3, with a large, distracting black bar running along one side of the screen. The sound is nothing special (2 channel), and it is impossible to turn off the subtitles, which is annoying if you speak Spanish and don't want to look at them. There are no extras beyond a few trailers. Overall, this DVD does not do this incredible film justice, especially when you factor in its relatively high cost. This is an unfortunate delivery system for a brilliant film."
Bitterness challenged by tenderness!
Rizzo | Denver, CO | 09/27/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Directed and written by Benito Zambrano, this 1999 Solas, which means alone, is an award winning Spanish film.
One important item to note, the picture of a woman and man about to kiss, on the DVD cover, doesn't in any way, reflect the movie content. This isn't a happy boy meets girl love story. It is about a young 30ish woman, bitter, an alcoholic and thief who lives in a poor side of town. And it is about her mother. Nowhere in the movie did this image appear.
The story opens when her dear elderly mother arrives from the village to be with her abusive, domineering husband who is recuperating in the hospital. Mother must stay in daughter Maria's apartment. We soon learn Maria's attitude differs greatly from her caring mother. Maria has a callous attitude about her father and isn't concerned about him. Little is known about the father and he speaks little while in the hospital. He is verbally abusive and carries the same bitterness that his daughter has.
Between the visits to the hospital and staying in the apartment building, the mother befriends an old lonely neighbor and his dog. The mother is honored by his kindness and respect, something her own husband never gave. She cares tenderly about the elderly man and he is overcome with her companionship.
Meanwhile, Maria's life is disappointing, hanging out at the bars, becomes pregnant, continues to smoke, and drink strong alcohol. Her boyfriend is a selfish, uncaring man who orders an abortion. With such a destructive life, we can't see a good home for the baby.
Then, soon, we get a glimpse of Maria's attitude changing toward her mother. Relationships and situations change, as does life. It is a saddened film where we can only hope for some good for some characters, and we dislike some others. ....This is an excellent drama.
Subtitles are clear to read. However, like most Spanish directed films, there remains foul language and an offensive scene that doesn't overshadow the great plot. ......MzRizz
The story is a tragic one, but told wonderfully.
Jenny J.J.I. | That Lives in Carolinas | 03/30/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Unfortunately rather overlooked as this film came out the same year as Almodóvar's `Todo Sobre mi Madre' (All about my Mother) this went on to reach fame and glory. However, if you liked Almodóvar's excellent drama you will also like `Solas'. The two films have certain similarities inasmuch that also in `Solas' the accent is very much on strong characterization, profound human feelings, though perhaps a little less intense here than in Almodóvar's film.
"Solas" spends its 100 minute run digging deep into the character of Ana Fernández (Maria), who is magnificent, playing just right the rather confused, unlucky thirty-five year old young woman a bit given to alcohol, not overplaying her part; that bears the scars of childhood abuse at the hands of her father, drinks too much, and works as a janitor. María Galiana as her mother shows even at her age that she has come from good theatre, as no less does Carlos Álvarez-Novoa as the lonely neighbor.
Benito Zembrano - as Almodóver - , not only directs his film but is also responsible for the script, which is truly magnificent, especially taking into account certain Andalucian styles of speech. The Andalucian accent may at times cause a bit of a problem if you know Spanish a fair amount and watch this film without any subtitles. Try it, anyway: it is well worth the effort. An excellent piece of drama which certainly deserves more recognition than it has got. An award winning film hailed by the critics and an exemplar for American Indie makers, "Solas" will appeal most to more mature audiences.
Curiously both films end with a remarkably similar dedication at the end: `A mi madre; a todas las madres' - To my mother; To all mothers.

A challenging and athletic experience: a rider taking part in the Arava Institute Hazon Bike Ride.It's physically challenging, but for the 150 Israelis and Americans taking part in the Arava Institute Hazon Bike Ride from Jerusalem to Eilat, it's also about some of the toughest mental challenges facing us today – peace, coexistence, and the environment.
Set up and run by the Arava Institute of Environmental Studies, an organization that teaches coexistence through environmental cooperation in the Middle East, and Hazon, which works towards creating a healthier and more sustainable Jewish community, the annual 450-kilometer bike ride is a yearly fundraising effort designed to promote environmental protection and regional cooperation in the Middle East.
As part of the seven-day road trip, which set off yesterday, the riders will leave from Jerusalem, cycle through the hills of the Jerusalem forest, descend to the Mediterranean Sea, then climb up to the Negev desert. On the final day, participants will follow the Egyptian border and descend into Eilat.
During the trip the cyclists will visit the rocket-stricken town of Sderot in a show of solidarity to residents there, have a Shabbat layover at Mizpe Ramon, and swim in the Red Sea.
The bikers are aged from 17 to 70 and include Israeli Arabs and Jews, and 120 American Jews and Christians from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and New York. A few riders will also be joining the event from Australia and Italy. The riders range from strong advocates for Israel to those whose trip to Israel will be their first.
"There are few bike rides that promote peace and coexistence or the environment, and a ride that combines all of those is unique," says Elad Topel, who is organizing the ride on behalf of the Arava Institute. "The trip brings riders from all ends of the political spectrum together with the single goal of promoting a sustainable environment in the Middle East."
On the ride itself, there will be an attempt to offset the carbon footprint of those who flew to Israel from the US. Riders will use personal drinking bottles throughout the ride – instead of environmentally unfriendly plastic bottles, and leftover food will be composed. Participants will also learn firsthand about pressing environmental issues, as environmental educators from the Arava Institute will be present at stopovers to add their insights.
The Arava Institute has been sponsoring the cycle ride for some years and many of the staff and students serve as crew for the trip. The institute's campus at Kibbutz Ketura plays host to Israelis, Palestinians and Jordanians who live together and learn about environmental issues.
In the past, the institute has worked to manage joint water resources in the Jordan River, held workshops to cultivate young environmental leadership for Jewish and Arab youth, and publicized joint research by Israelis, Palestinians, and Jordanians on air pollution in the Middle East.
In addition to the Israel ride, Hazon also sponsors the New York Jewish Environmental Bike Ride. Another similar Israel ride is scheduled for November this year.
"This is the next generation of environmental services," Topel tells ISRAEL21c. "The ride is, first of all, a challenging and athletic experience. But beyond that, the riders will become familiar with an entire new world of environmental issues and will also begin to understand the complex regional challenges that Israel faces today in crafting an environmental policy."

5 Notable CEO Comebacks
The history of corporate CEOs who left and later came back to lead their companies is well documented and populated with some famous names.
According to Wharton, companies rehire former chief executive officers for a number of reasons, chief among them the fact the company is in "dire straits" and wants to calm fears by bringing back a proven winner.
Steve Jobs - Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)
Such was the case with Apple when it brought back co-founder Steve Jobs in 1997. The company was in trouble and Jobs, who had left the company following a power struggle with then-CEO John Sculley in 1985, was seen by some as the solution.
Jobs presided over one of the most impressive corporate turnarounds in history. In 2000 Jobs was formally named CEO, a title he held until he resigned just before his death in 2011.
As CNNMoney noted, during Jobs' tenure as CEO, Apple stock grew from $10 per share to more than $400, a 4,000 percent increase.

Howard Schultz – Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX)
Howard Schultz first joined Starbucks in 1982, well before the company went public, as director of retail operations and marketing. He left in 1986 to start his own chain of espresso bars in the Seattle area and then returned as chief executive in 1987.
The company went public in 1992 with Schultz as CEO. He voluntarily stepped down in 2000 to become global strategist and returned as CEO in January 2008.
Thanks to his leadership and initiatives such as VIA instant packets, a new lighter Blonde brew, and entry into China and India, Starbucks shares have risen more than 218 percent since Schultz' return.
Charles R. Schwab - Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW)
Stanford MBA Charles R. Schwab founded the brokerage and banking corporation that bears his name. Schwab served as sole CEO of Charles Schwab from 1986 through 1998.
From then until 2003 he shared CEO duties with David Pottruck. Schwab stepped down briefly in 2003, only to be rehired as CEO when the Schwab board fired Pottruck in 2004.
Schwab, who seemed to have a knack for timing the market, also timed his tenure, walking away from the chief executive position in 2008, just before the financial world collapsed at the end of that year.
During Schwab's second tour, company stock soared more than 194 percent.
Mike Ullman - J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP)
Mike Ullman first served as J.C. Penney's CEO from 2002 until 2012, presiding over both the remaking of the company and its near collapse during the Great Recession.
Ullman was replaced by former Apple executive Ron Johnson, who only lasted until April 2013 when he was fired to make way for Ullman's return.
With word of Johnson's dimissal, shares of J.C. Penney rose nearly 11 percent, then fell 7 percent after investors found out Ullman was coming back. News has been better recently with the company reporting August 14 a third consecutive quarter of sales gains.
Stock prices have more than doubled in value from a low of about $5 per share in early February of this year.
Related Link: Aeropostale Up 9% On Guidance, CEO Change
Julian Geiger - Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO)
The most recent CEO comeback took place August 18 when Aeropostale said former chief executive Julian Geiger would be taking over the company, replacing Thomas Johnson.
Aeropostale has lost money for six consecutive quarters. Part of Geiger's comeback strategy includes closing 125 of the company's P.S. From Aeropostale stores, cutting corporate positions and renewing focus on online sales, outlets, and licensing deals, according to The Associated Press.
The company Thursday reported low Q3 guidance and a Q2 loss of $63.8 million or $0.81 per share, compared to a $33.7 million, $0.43 per share loss in the same period last year.
At the time of this writing, Jim Probasco had no position in any mentioned securities.

I haven't had time to tackle all of it yet, but I will share a couple quotes and thoughts from the introduction:
- Basically, things changed around WWII (which has been discussed here a lot). Before that most Iowa farms were very diversified in crops and livestock and had multi-crop rotations in place. Those rotations included forages, something not seen these days.
- Between 1950 and 2004 corn and soybean yields have just about quadrupled. Way to go crop specialists! I assume that means that the amount of money the farmers are making is also increasing...
- But, that is not the case. First of all the number of Iowa farms during that same time period has dropped by more than 50% and the net income per farm (after inflation adjustment) was actually 9% lower in 2001 than it was in 1960. I'm not sure if that changes with $7.50 corn or not, but I'm guessing it doesn't because all the inputs have also jumped sky high.

I really feel like a broken record in saying this lately -- but can we please go ahead and cut Jenelle Evans just a little bit of slack already?!?
Yes, she's made a lot of mistakes in the past, but she does appear to be trying right now. It seems so outrageous that she's getting a hard time for going out for a night on the town with Nathan Griffith and her friends.
Ok, so she attended a Miley Cyrus concert of all things -- but that doesn't mean she was downing beers while listening to the music!
Yep. People on Twitter immediately assumed she was sipping on a cup full of alcohol, which she insists was just water. (And I honestly believe her.)
Oh, and she even posted this tweet to let everyone know exactly where she stands on drinking during pregnancy.
Even though some of u r telling me it's ok for me to have a wine or beer while pregnant... No it's not right and unacceptable in my opinion.
— Jenelle Evans (@PBandJenelley_1) April 9, 2014
Can't really get more clear than that, can she?
I know plenty of expectant moms are probably way too exhausted to do something like go to a concert, but if that's her cup of tea, who are we to judge?
And even if she weren't preggo, how does going to see Miley Cyrus automatically mean a gal is self-medicating with alcohol or whatever else? Yeah, Miley can't be tamed -- but some women still know how to have a good time without booze.
Like Jenelle when she's pregnant.
(Let's give it a rest, people.)
Do you think Jenelle did anything wrong by going to that concert?

To all students enrolling at MIC for the first time or returning to continue their studies – Welcome!
MIC would like to tell you about an important service called the Text Alert Service. This service is free to all students and will allow the College to send a text alert to students whose mobile phone numbers have been provided to the College.
In order for this service to work, the College must have access to all students' current mobile phone numbers. If you want to know more and to ensure that the College has access to your mobile phone number to enable you to benefit from the Text Alert Service, please read the following information carefully:
How will the MIC Text Alert Service be used?
How do I ensure that the College has my mobile phone number?
I am an International Exchange Student – am I included in the MIC Text Alert Service?
What should I do if my mobile phone number has changed since I enrolled at MIC for the first time?
How can I be certain the College has my mobile phone number for use in the MIC Text Alert Service?
My mobile phone number is my personal information - how will the College manage and protect this information?
How do I view my Online Student Record profile to check if my mobile phone number is recorded correctly?
Click here to Register Online
It is intended that this Text Alert Service will allow MIC to make contact with students via text to a mobile phone, to provide them with important and relevant information regarding their academic affairs and College operations.
When students enrol at MIC for the first time, their mobile phone number is collected along with other personal details and this information is recorded and maintained by the College on a secure data-base. The MIC Text Alert Service will use this data-base to identify the mobile phone numbers of all students for the purpose of providing important information by text message.
The MIC Placement Office advises all international students visiting the College to purchase mobile phones during their stay so that members of staff in the office have a direct means of contacting each student. In order to include international students in the MIC Text Alert Service, the Placement Office forwards their mobile phone numbers to the office responsible for operating the system. All international students should ensure that the Placement Office has access to such numbers.
MIC provides undergraduate students with the means to update their personal contact details, including mobile phone number, at any time by logging onto the Online Student Records system. This is the system students use to complete their Online Registration during Week 1 of each Academic Year (to log onto this system the username and password provided to each student is required). During online registration, students should take the time to ensure that their personal details, including their mobile phone number, are recorded correctly and should amend these details if necessary. In the event that these details change during the course of the year, students may log on to this system at any other time (except during grading) to review or amend their personal information.
Personal information, including mobile phone numbers are collected from postgraduate students enrolling at MIC for the first time and these details are part of the same database described above and used for the MIC Text Alert Service. For returning postgraduate students who are required to register online in the same manner as described above, the same principle applies: such students should ensure that their details are correct and should amend them in the event of any change. In all other cases, such changes should be notified to the Postgraduate Office immediately.
The best way for students to ensure that the College has their mobile phone numbers is for each individual to check their details on the Online Student Records system (click here). Students are reminded that they are responsible for ensuring that information about them held by the College is accurate, up-to-date and complete (the College cannot be responsible for any incomplete information or changes unless previously informed).
However, if any student has a doubt or query regarding the MIC Text Alert Service they may seek further information by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com
The College is bound by the provisions of the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 and has policies in place to ensure compliance with this legislation. These policies are available on the College website at www.mic.ul.ie . The College provides an assurance to all individuals supplying personal information that such data will be stored securely, will not be passed on to third parties and will only be used to serve the purpose for which it is sought. Mobile phone numbers drawn from College records in order to operate the MIC Text Alert Service during Academic Year 2017-18 will only be used to contact students and to provide vital information in the event of an emergency affecting the College.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Ashley Wagner is boasting that the American women can win medals at the world championships.
She certainly backed up the talk this week. Wagner won her third U.S. title Saturday, following through on her promise to up the difficulty of her program to compete with anyone.
Wagner added two new combinations to her long program, and she landed both of them for a total of seven triples. Her 148.98 points for the free skate and 221.02 overall were records for the event, beating defending champ Gracie Gold by a whopping 15.48.
Fifteen-year-old Karen Chen was third at her first senior U.S. Championships, but is too young for the senior world championships. Olympian Polina Edmunds was fourth.
When Wagner nailed her final triple lutz, she threw an arm in the air in celebration as her skate hit the ice, clinching what she called the sweetest of her three titles.
Choking up later, she boldly explained why: ''This is the one that shows every single person that doubts me, every single person that says I'm too old, every single person that says I'm not capable of being a leading lady - this shows them that they need to shut their mouths and watch me skate.''
Last year's nationals, when she came in as the two-time defending champ but finished a distant fourth, were ''horrifying.'' The Olympics - which she made only because of her previous success - and worlds were ''so-so.'' Her Grand Prix season last fall ''was solid but nothing all that remarkable.''
''I felt like people were starting to write me off,'' she said, ''and I wasn't giving them any reason to really believe I was competitive.''
A strong free skate at the Grand Prix Final to clinch bronze gave her some momentum, and then she added triple lutz-triple toe and triple loop-half loop-triple salchow combinations to her long program. The challenge seemed to invigorate, not intimidate, the 23-year-old.
A skater whose elements often have been downgraded by judges - she became an Internet sensation in Sochi for the sour look on her face at seeing surprisingly low scores - Wagner was precise on all her jumps Saturday. In the first year skaters are allowed to perform to music with lyrics, Wagner matched the ardor of the ''Moulin Rouge'' soundtrack, her expressions as bright as her red dress.
Gold came into the day 5.02 points back and had to take the ice with the crowd still roaring over Wagner's performance. It reminded her of the Olympics, when she followed Russian gold medalist Adelina Sotnikova.
And just as she did that night in Sochi, Gold fell on her triple flip.
But Wagner's performance left even Gold feeling confident at the way the two have pushed each other. No American woman has won a medal at worlds since 2006.
The U.S. team for this year's event - which is in Shanghai in March - will be announced Sunday.
Gold recalled a phrase she once read: ''Those that slay together stay together.''
''We will be the friendliest U.S. rivals,'' Gold said, adding with a sly smile: ''But it makes for great TV.''
The 4-foot-10 Chen landed six triple jumps Saturday, bubbling with zest throughout the program. She broke her right ankle in late 2013, and it wasn't until a few months ago that she ''finally felt like I could stand my ground,'' she said.
''I feel confident in what I'm doing and I can actually believe in myself and just go do what I can do,'' she added.
Mirai Nagasu, who finished fourth at the 2010 Vancouver Games, left the ice in tears for the second straight nationals. Last year, she placed third in a resurgent performance but was bumped from the Olympic team by Wagner.
On Saturday, she got off to a solid start. But in the simplest of moves, skating around the ice, she banged against the wall, tumbling to the ice. Nagasu grabbed at her left knee during the program, then again after it ended. She was later able to smile for the camera, showing off the bloody scratch. Nagasu was diagnosed with a hyperextended knee and bruised cartilage.
In fourth place coming into the long program, just .76 points out of third, she finished in 10th.
Earlier, new champions were crowned in pairs and ice dance.
After two straight runner-up finishes, Madison Chock and Evan Bates won with six-time ice dance champs and Olympic gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White taking a break.
Chock and Bates held a slim lead over Maia and Alex Shibutani coming into the free dance, but they won easily with a personal-best 111.11 points to finish with 185.06. Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue were third.
Alexa Scimeca and Christopher Knierim became the first American pairs team to complete a quad twist in competition. They led by 5.63 points after the short program but were thinking about bigger things than nationals. So they went through with the new element, and Scimeca successfully rotated four times in the air before Knierim caught her.
The quad helped them set two records for the U.S. Championships: 136.48 points for the free skate and 210.49 total. They beat Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier by 10.57.
Scimeca and Knierim, who are engaged to be married, were the runners-up at nationals in 2013 and fourth a year ago. But the three teams that finished ahead of them are no longer competing.

Occupy Crowd Blames Homeless People
By Dell Hill
Here's a report from ABC 7 - The Denver Channel.
"FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Police have arrested an Occupy Fort Collins protester in connection with a $10 million arson fire that damaged dozens of condominiums and businesses in Fort Collins. Benjamin David Gilmore, 29, was arrested on Thursday night on suspicion of arson, burglary and criminal mischief. On Oct. 24, a fire started at 3:30 a.m. in a four-story apartment complex under construction. The fire spread to the occupied Penny Flats condominium and retail building next door.
The fire at Penny Flats caused heavy fire damage to the fourth floor and roof, and heavy smoke and water damage to the first, second and third floors, according to Poudre Fire Authority spokesman Patrick Love.
Damage was estimated at $10 million.
A video of the fire scene by Aaron Cathcart.
A joint investigation between Fort Collins Police Services, Poudre Fire Authority, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigators found the cause of the fire was incendiary, meaning the fire was intentionally set, officials said.
Gilmore was taken to the Larimer County jail around midnight.
Gilmore In Court On Friday
Gilmore made his first appearance before a judge on Friday afternoon via a video camera from jail. Gilmore stood up and told the judge, "I would just like to go home with my wife," and then he started sobbing. Bond was set at $250,000, cash only. In the courtroom, Gilmore's mother asked the judge to reduce the bond. The judge decided to keep the bond at $250,000 because he said it was a serious crime that put many lives in danger. After the hearing, several Occupy Fort Collins protesters distanced the movement from Gilmore.
"He may have stopped by the protest, but he is in no way a direct relation to our movement," said protester Julia Crisafi. "We are peaceful protesters." "One person's actions do not represent this group as a whole," said protester Andrew Stover. "Non-violence is the way to change."
Gilmore Well Known At Occupy Fort Collins
Gilmore joined the Occupy Fort Collins movement in mid-October. "He showed up on the 3rd or 4th day," said Rich Crisler, who identified himself as the media coordinator for Occupy Fort Collins. Crisler said he doesn't believe Gilmore started the fire. "He had no reason to do this," Crisler said.
"They're [investigators] just looking for a scapegoat."
Crisler said Gilmore owns a honey business. Crisler said Gilmore is very kind, soft-spoken and wants to help people. "He's not an arsonist. I've dealt with people like this," said Crisler, who said he was trained as a psychologist. "Nothing would make me think of him doing something like this."
Crisler believes the fire was started by several homeless people who took refuge in the apartment complex that was under construction. Crisler said the men had invited him to join them on the 3rd floor in the back of the building several times to stay warm. "You could see it [the fire] was burning from the back," said Crisler. Crisler said the protesters told investigators about the five homeless people.
He said the five men were arrested, questioned and released. "It's not a good story to say five homeless people accidentally started a fire," Crisler said."
Verum Serum had considerably more, including much evidence to make Mr. Crisler's statements basically irrelevant and perhaps even untrue. Click Right Here.

Israel's Lee Korzits and Alex Shatilov will set out to win the country's first medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games this afternoon. Korzits has two more races in the windsurfing RS:X event preliminaries before the medal race while Shatilov is a finalist in the artistic gymnastics floor exercises.
Korzits was the highlight of Israel's representatives in Friday and Saturday events in London. The 28-year-old windsurfer from Michmoret roared into first place in the eighth race of the RS:X event, improving her overall ranking to second.
The three-time world champion will compete in races nine and 10 this afternoon, starting at 14:00 Israel time. The medal race will take place on Tuesday.
"It was fun and I am very happy with the results of the day. I am now only three points away from the Spanish windsurfer," Korzits said to Ynet following Saturday's race.
At 16:00 Israel time today, Shatilov will hit the mats in the artistic gymnastics floor exercises competition.
The 25-year-old specializes in the floor exercise, for which he has won several medals at world and European championships.
"I'm here to win a medal. I won't settle for anything less," he said.
The weekend saw sailors Vered Buskila and Gil Cohen get off to a great start on Friday in the women's 470 event, finishing their first race in third place. But a disqualification in the second race, a 10th place finish in the third race and 18th in the fourth race put them down at the bottom of the pack. Buskila and Cohen will set sail at 15:00 Israel time today from a 15th place ranking.
The waters off Weymouth gave the Israeli men's 470 team a choppy weekend. Gideon Kliger and Eran Sela successfully sailed into second place in their fifth race on Saturday but overall stand at 11th after six races. They will return to the waters tomorrow (Monday).
Israeli shooter Sergey Richter was also off target over the weekend. After missing the finals by just one point in the 10-meter rifle event, the 23-year-old Richter finished just 44 out of 50 competitors in the 50m rifle prone event.
And finally, sprinter Donald Sanford had a weekend he'd prefer to forget. The Israeli-American 400-meter dash runner says his shoes were stolen moments before his qualifying heat.
Sanford clocked 45.71 seconds – his fastest time of the year – and finished fifth in his heat and 26th overall.
However, the Kibbutz Ein Shemer athlete told Israel's Elite Sports Unit that someone absconded with his shoes and that instead of warming up with the rest of the competitors; he was squeezing his feet into fellow Canadian sprinter Daundre Barnaby's shoes – on loan – before the race.

- Program Number
- Series Description
Each of the Arthur episodes consists of two independent stories that focus on themes and events central to children's lives. Whether it's facing down a bully, worrying about a new teacher, or being the very last person on earth to lose his baby teeth, Arthur and his friends manage to solve their third-grade dilemmas with imagination, kindness and a lot of humor. "What children love about Arthur is that he feels real to them," says Carol Greenwald, WGBH executive producer. "The emotions he experiences are universal. When Arthur triumphs over something, kids think they can, too. "The series will build on that sense of empowerment by showing how Arthur and his friends use effective, age-appropriate, problem-solving skills. Bringing a book-based series like Arthur to public television will also promote reading and writing skills. Series release date: 10/1996
- Program Description
Sue Ellen's Lost Diary: Poor Sue Ellen has lost the one thing she's never without--her diary. But as her friends help her look for it, they start to wonder--how come she won't let them read it? What's IN this diary anyway? The basis of an Arthur chapter book.
Arthur's Knee: Arthur's hurt his knee but won't tell Mom--because then she'd know he'd been playing down at the dump. (Where he was NOT allowed to go). Can The Brain and D.W. convince Arthur to face up to it and take his tetanus shot like a man--umm, an aardvark?

The conflict of Syria is imminently reaching a point of no return, and by default and proxy this means the United States vs. Russia. It is happening right now, even today, while the next two weeks are critical.
The situation is not being reported in the lame stream news – which instead is focusing nearly 100% distraction on the presidential campaign (while the global economy burns to the ground and WWIII is set to trigger…).
There have been several good alt-news articles this week explaining the situation, and I'll sum it up for you here:
The Main Actors:
Turkey & Saudi Arabia vs. Syria & Iran
NATO (United States) vs. Russia (alliance with Syria/Iran)
The Plot:
The U.S. has been trying to oust Assad (Syria) for years – using so called 'rebel' forces to do the dirty work. These 'rebel' (proxy) fighters include and have been dominated by ISIS (our supposed enemy here in the U.S.) and other 'terrorist groups for hire'. See how things work?
Saudi Arabia (U.S. proxy) has been funneling countless hundreds of millions ($) of oil through Syria to Turkey where it's sold on the global market to fund ISIS there. This has enabled ISIS (and other cohort 'rebel' groups) to gain control of territory in Syria while it furthers it's fight against Assad and his government there in Syria.
Months ago however, Assad called on Russia (their Alliance) for help. Russia has since been bombing the snot out of ISIS and ('the rebels') along their oil 'money' routes to Turkey (their funding source).
And now Syria (Russia) has just closed the stranglehold (destroyed) the money route and the situation is desperate (for any further chance of Assad's overthrow via 'the West' and their proxy 'rebels').
Russian-backed Syrian pro-government forces have cut off the last supply route, known as the Azaz corridor, linking partially opposition-held Aleppo with Turkey.
If the last corridor completely falls, the rebel groups could lose the quarters of Aleppo they currently control.
ISIS (proxy for the U.S. in that region) was never supposed to lose in Syria .
A 'last stand'… The region (city) of 'Aleppo' in northern Syria, 30 miles from the border with Turkey (a final 'key' city) is controlled by the 'rebels' who are fighting against Assad, but now the city is apparently surrounded by Syrian alliance ground troops – enabled by Russian airstrikes.
If Aleppo falls (if the rebels against Assad lose Aleppo), then this thing could be over (the West will lose).
Will the West give up their quest for Syria?
The climax for Syria is happening right now. Perhaps in the next few days.
Turkey has begun 'shelling' into Syria for the past 4 days in an effort to help the 'rebels' who are surrounded.
According to a report this morning (ZH), "…there's every reason to suspect that Turkey will not only persist in the shelling…but will in fact invade Syria. You know, "to fight ISIS."
Observational Note: Since ISIS has been demonized here in the U.S., it remains a good 'excuse' for public opinion to accept the rationale to fight there (even though they are the apparent proxy for Syrian overthrow and funded by 'the West' there). It's very twisted… (I still remember when the mainstream suddenly and simultaneously and harmoniously began using the term awhile ago – which I thought was 'interesting') One day a terrorist group is the enemy and the next a 'convenient' but secret ally?
Back to the story:
Again, from ZH, "On Tuesday we got still more indications that a major escalation in Syria is imminent when Turkey said it would "definitely" participate in a ground operation."
They (the West) are actually apparently considering a ground invasion into Syria. Not only is Turkey on record and gearing up, but wait until you read this:
Saudi Arabia has apparently (and is currently) "sending troops and fighter jets to Turkey's Incirlik military base ahead of a possible ground invasion of Syria." via Michael Snyder via Yeni Şafak newspaper on Saturday. And he went on to say "There are reports that Saudi officials are saying that the decision to send in ground troops is "irreversible", and Reuters is reporting that the Syrian government claims that some Turkish troops have already entered the country…"
But there's more:
soldiers, tanks, warplanes and military helicopters are massing in northern Saudi Arabia for a military exercise that is being called "Northern Thunder".
According to the official announcement, forces are being contributed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, Kuwait, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia and several other nations.
This exercise will reportedly last for 18 days, and during that time the airspace over northern Saudi Arabia will be closed to air traffic. This will be the largest military exercise in the history of the region, and it comes amid rumors that Saudi Arabia and Turkey are preparing for a massive ground invasion of Syria.
-The Economic Collapse (Blog)
Coincidence? There's no such thing…
A thinking person will realize that a ground invasion of Syria will not be allowed to happen without the consent of the U.S. president, and if indeed there is to be a ground invasion into Syria – the 64 million dollar question will be, "What will Russia do?"
The fact that we are currently at this threshold is clear evidence of the apparent critical and desperate times we're in. We all know (at least those of us who seek out the real news) that the global economic situation is dire, and a World War may just be what the doctor ordered… See how that works?
I don't like this one bit.
While I've attempted to summarize a complicated situation in less than 1000 words, the details are out there for you to find. I believe I've captured some of the pertinent 'need to know' info, and you can do with it as you may…
With that said, I believe we will find out soon. And if this turns into a $hit$torm, the escalation could be dramatic.
Escalation Imminent.

UPROAR After Mizzou Prof THREATENS Asian Reporter – ORDERS Students to "Muscle" Him Off Campus
Asian Lives Matter, Too-
On Monday protesting Mizzou race activists harassed a white reporter while protesting in a public place.
A University of Missouri professor was directing the protesters.
Mizzou professor Melissa Click, an assistant professor of mass media at the University of Missouri, ordered a journalist to leave an area where demonstrators had gathered on the Missouri campus.
She then called activists to "muscle" the Asian journalist off campus!
Click's Twitter page (which is now protected) calls for more love.
Is funny that @melissaclick's Twitter cover photo is a meme of her that states "Media is love. Everyone welcome!" pic.twitter.com/WdX9QGkWDs

Light Tec is happy to inform you about CODE V version 11.0 !
CODE V 11.0 includes the following features, which will be described in more detail in the release notes:
– New CODE V SpecBuilder and SpecEvaluator interfaces help you to quickly evaluate a resident optical system against requirements and design objectives that you define using built-in and user-defined specifications. SpecBuilder uses a Specification and Goals Table presentation that makes it fast to identify specifications that are not met.
– Enhanced chief ray-finding delivers improved ray tracing robustness and makes it easier to troubleshoot systems with chief ray errors. Previous versions of CODE V could sometimes find alternate, mathematically valid, but undesired chief ray paths. Now when the chief ray for the first field (F1 R1) traces correctly, other fields will use information from this ray trace for chief ray finding.

"I don't want to do power point! I want to worship God!"
I used this phrase on a Tuesday Morning (chapel service), that happened to be an all worship service. I just want to make a few points before I move on:
(1) We don't need power point to worship God
(2) Every Person in our school knows the words to the songs we're are singing (I can make this assertion because of the school's small size) thus power point is pointless.
(3) I didn't see anyone else volunteering their services while I was being forced...
Okay, so I started to feel indignant, "Why should I have to run power point?! I want to worship! If I knew I was going to get stuck running PowerPoint I wouldn't have even bother coming to chapel!
It has been a week since that incident and yet I am still curious as to why it peeved me so. Am I not able to worship God at anytime? So what's the big deal!?
In fact, I am still slightly peeved over the matter… and I'm not really sure why.
Anger is such a curious thing in my life. I think about how far I have come from my "angry days" (Andrea can probably tell stories of such days….)
I have realized that sadness plays a BIG part in my anger-ness. I think "Why the heck am I soooo angry!?" But it is based on sadness. All I have to do is figure out what I am sad about and leave it at the cross… then **vwala!** no more anger! (Yea right! It has taken many ears to come to the realization and is still a work in progress.) God has really dealt with one depression at a time. He has revealed things to me through my questions, "What is this? Why that? Why does this happen? Ect." And having to do the hardest thing… being open to the Holy Spirit's change for/in my life.
So, back to that PowerPoint thing. Is the PowerPoint situation one of those angry moments. Perhaps a, I just need something to be angry at and this is the first thing that came my way… type of a thing? Is my sadness masquerading itself as anger again? Or am I really ticked about the PowerPoint taking the place of worship?

Walk down the hair care aisle and you're sure to spot products labeled "anti-aging." While it's a relatively new category, it's meant to address an age-old problem: hair that seems to lose its luster, color, and smoothness over time. It's not the hair itself that's old, explains Liz Cunnane Phillips, a trichologist at Kingsley Clinic in New York. "Your hair is only as old as its length." But the aging process that occurs within our bodies and skin can affect the way hair looks and feels. Here are some age-related strand issues and what you can do about them.
At some point, the pigment cells in our hair follicles stop pumping out melanin, the stuff that gives hair its color. When this will occur is largely determined by genetics, but there's no denying that a head of silver strands (or even just a few) can make you appear older than you actually are. Gray hair also tends to feel more wiry and coarse, says Jenny Balding, grooming expert for Redken/Cutler salons in New York City. That's most likely because your scalp is also producing less sebum as you age.
Your Youthful Strand Solution: Ammonia-free hair color. It's no secret that hair dye can restore your hair to its original hue, at least temporarily. But new ammonia-free, oil-based hair color is especially good for graying strands, Balding says. "These oil-based formulas moisturize as they color," she says. Two to try: L'Oreal Professionnel Inoa Supreme (lorealprofessionnel-us.com for salons), and Redken Chromatics Beyond Color (redken.com for salons) -- both specifically formulated for gray hair.
As you age, the hair follicle shrinks a bit -- a process called miniaturization -- producing thinner strands, Cunnane Phillips says. "These finer strands take up less space and so hair looks and feels limp," she says.
Your Youthful Strand Solution: Protein. While you can't do anything about the size of your follicles, you can turn to ingredients that temporarily plump up the diameter of each hair strand, creating the feeling of extra fullness. Styling products that contain proteins (wheat, oat proteins, amino acids, etc.) bind to the hair shaft and temporarily bulk it up. Try: Nexxus Youth Renewal Blow Dry Spray ($16; walmart.com).
Your strands were once smooth, but now they always look a bit fuzzy. What gives? As we mentioned, an age-related slowdown in sebum production at the scalp can lead to dry, frizzier strands that look dull.
Your Youthful Strand Solution: Moisture. When you're frizz prone, it seems like you'd want to avoid moisture at all costs, but frizzy strands are dry strands that are craving hydration. Switch to a more moisturizing shampoo and add a weekly deep conditioning treatment to your regimen. Look for formulas that include nourishing botanicals such as coconut, almond, or soybean oils, which will help smooth strands back into submission, says Francesca Fusco, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. Try Clear Scalp & Hair Ultra Shea Treatment Mask ($5; walgreens.com).

text: Plasma and LCD may still rule the local big box stores, but new options are on the way, and CES 2012 offered a glimpse of what's to come. Samsung and LG both had their new OLED models on the CES show floor that drew plenty of gawkers. While we only had a brief look at each, we must say that both sets were very impressive in terms of overall picture quality and design. Black levels were outstanding for both sets, and may even put the best-rated plasmas to shame. Sony didn't reveal much about a possible OLED set, only stating that the technology is still being developed. However, the company did unveil a new display technology called Crystal LED. It's the industry's first 55-inch self-emitting display that uses LEDs as the light source. To our eyes, the display didn't stack up to the LG or Samsung OLED in picture quality or set design. Check out the pictures to decide for yourself.

I have come "home," to realize, what I thought I already knew: I am older, I am behind in terms of the things I would have liked to have accomplished by now: perhaps it is only middle age setting in in earnest, one of those factors I did keep at bay, either simply through my attitude toward life (my older relatives tend to be surprised that they are as old as they are and just keep going: I am much the same), or because I could not bear that time was passing and I was no longer in the world in the way I wanted to be. Even now, I tend not to think about it (Greenhouse City is, happily and remarkably, full of "returnees" and refugees of all sorts), until I meet friends from old or talk with colleagues during these aforementioned travels, who talk about their careers having peaked or retiring at sixty (the latter seems impossibly young to me to do that), and I think, or rethink: is life really that far along ? Is life really that close to.... what ? A limited number of choices ? I tend to reject that out of hand. I wonder, if my life had been the sort where I stayed in one place for quite some time, if I would have evolved into the kind of person who has, what I call for lack of a better understanding of it, a life plan, and one that cooked along accordingly, at that. I am at the point where peers talk about x number more of projects, then that's it, they'll stop, career done, move on. And I wonder how they view me: am I the flexible one, or the one without a plan in a way that is daunting to them, off-putting ? Perhaps, I also think, during exile years, I stopped making certain kinds of plans, so strong was my sense of disappointment and despair, so estranged my exile from the world that was my home.
Whatever the case, here I am: returned, now toughened back up a bit, back. And now, having arrived ---how did I know this would be the case ? because when life was good before, this is often what happened--- and now life is good again, so: other things have opened up, and these are the sorts of things that would entail tremendous life changes on my part. I greet these with enthusiasm on the one hand and, upon reflection, pause on the other, wondering if, deep down, this option, to which I am powerfully and emotionally drawn, is opening up a fuller existence, or might foreclose upon the very things, rooted and dormant in me for so long, that are now just again flowering in the light of this new day and place, so long sought and so hard won ?
In short, and, in keeping with the tenor of this blog, I apologize for its obliqueness when it comes to specifics, I am (and how can I be ?) so happy and so uncertain suddenly and all at once. I am, though, once again back to this blog. I thought about it often, but the energy it took to restart and reintegrate left me no extra time for more writing, and I have missed it. So hello again, out there, whoever has come and stopped by.

Sunrise over Chicago on October 22, 2010. Air temperature about 36°F.
NOAA released their winter forecast and it is calling for "a winter of extremes" with an ongoing La Nina that usually has a big influence on the nation's weather this winter. Chicago's winters under La Nina influence are not as certain as the south, southeast and northwest regions of the United States, but temperatures are generally a little warmer, and skies bring a little more snow than normal. Blasts of arctic air are a characteristic of La Nina winters in Chicago. But NOAA says the Central U.S. has equal chances of above-near-or below normal temperatures and precipitation.
Here's how how NOAA rounds up La Nina winters for regions of the rest of the mainland …
Pacific Northwest: colder and wetter than average. La Niña often brings lower than average temperatures and increased mountain snow to the Pacific Northwest and western Montana during the winter months, which is good for the replenishment of water resources and winter recreation but can also lead to greater flooding and avalanche concerns.
Southwest: warmer and drier than average. This will likely exacerbate drought conditions in these areas. All southern states are at risk of having above normal wildfire conditions starting this winter and lasting into the spring.
Northern Plains: colder and wetter than average. Likely to see increased storminess and flooding.
Southern Plains, Gulf Coast States & Southeast: warmer and drier than average. This will likely exacerbate drought conditions in these areas. All southern states are at risk of having above normal wildfire conditions starting this winter and lasting into the spring.
Florida: drier than average, with an equal chance for above-, near-, or below-normal temperatures. Above normal wildfire conditions.
Ohio and Tennessee Valleys: warmer and wetter than average. Likely to see increased storminess and flooding.
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic: equal chances for above-, near-, or below-normal temperatures and precipitation. Winter weather for these regions is often driven not by La Niña but by weather patterns over the northern Atlantic Ocean and Arctic. These are often more short-term, and are generally predictable only a week or so in advance. If enough cold air and moisture are in place, areas north of the Ohio Valley and into the Northeast could see above-average snow.
Last year's El Nino pattern brought higher than average snowfall and lower than average temperatures — making winter 2009-2010 officially the 6th snowiest of the past 139 winters with 52.4″ of snow.
Last night we reached a low of 34°F officially at O'Hare International Airport. We haven't been that cold since April 28th when the temperature dipped to 33°F. April 9, 2010 was the only day in April 2010 to hit below freezing at 30°F.
According to NOAA, La Niña is associated with cooler than normal water temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean, unlike El Niño which is associated with warmer than normal water temperatures. Both of these climate phenomena, which typically occur every 2-5 years, influence weather patterns throughout the world and often lead to extreme weather events.

Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian will travel a familiar road by undergoing surgery on his left shoulder for the second straight year.
Siemian is expected to have surgery on Wednesday on the heels of dislocating his shoulder following a sack by linebacker Barkevious Mingo in Denver's 25-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 14. He was placed on season-ending injured reserve the following day.
The 26-year-old Siemian is expected to miss the conditioning portion of the Broncos' offseason program, but could be ready to participate in OTAs.
"Sleeping is kind of tough, but it's all right," Siemian said on Monday. "... I have to get this shoulder taken care of. I'll do that and then, just like everybody else, come back to work and get better."
Siemian, who also had surgery on his left shoulder following the 2016 season, finished with 2,285 yards passing with 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions this campaign.

Dania resident Tony Stevens said he will ask condominium associations to support his plan to fight condo crime.
Stevens, who doesn't live in a condominium, said he believes condo security would be improved if residents put identifying stickers on their cars to help police officers determine which cars do and don't belong there.
The police department supports the concept, said Sgt. Phil Johnson, spokesman for the Dania police.
Patrolling officers would jot down license tag numbers of cars which don't have the sticker, he said. If a crime is reported, police could investigate each non-stickered car to determine whether it belongs to a guest or someone who may have committed a crime.

Walking sticks are also used by trekkers are called trekking poles or hiking poles. Tynor Walking Stick Quadripod – Greater Confidence Universal Good Handle Grip Tynor Walking Stick quadripod is a walking aid to give extra stability during walk to very weak or very old or physically challenged individuals.
Walking sticks are widely used by many people with mobility issues- there are many different types and designs available. The most common type of walking stick is the height-adjustable aluminium design in various colours and handles. There are other types of sticks that are out there- quad sticks and pyramid canes are the next level of mobility in the stick range. With 4 or 3 legs respectively, they offer greater stability to the user and are also height adjustable for maximum user comfort.
Walking canes for men were first made as a means of protection against wild beasts and other people who may wish to do them harm. They were a staple tool for anyone hiking along the highways or tending herds of livestock in the night and could be used to offer better stability in areas where the ground was muddy or the landscape steep. The more folks used these handy sticks, the more practical uses they found for them.
For a long time, shepherds got most use out of them, but they were later associated with noblemen. Early rulers, emperors & kings, started carrying their own Walking Canes For Men, called scepters, to symbolize their power to both punish and protect.
After their association with nobility, gentleman of the 1600's and 1700's began to carry them for the sake of fashion. Throughout this era, in order for a man to prove that he was part of the high society, he would have to carry around his own fashionable walking stick as a required accessory to his most formal attire. As a matter of fact, Britain once held a law that demanded any man who carried a cane to be licensed to do so, to ensure that no low-class citizens were ruining its meaning.

Maybe your definition of a data model differs from mine. All such constraints are surely part of that model irrespective of what syntax the DBMS uses.
If you have some particular DBMS in mind then maybe someone will have other suggestions about features supported by that product. Perhaps a redesign would also be possible but I'm reluctant to begin a design-by- newsgroup exercise.
