Home Grown Terrorism and the Original Crime of the Century – An …
Huffington Post, NY 
Got to credit former New York Times and Vanity Fair reporter, HOWARD BLUM, for uncovering this vital story. He wraps it in a creative narrative that says sweeping historical movie. (The book has been optioned for film by the creatives behind the ROSEANNE and HOME IMPROVEMENT TV shows) There are titans practically on every CD. Times founder, HARRISON GRAY OTIS; son-in-law, HARRY CHANDLER; Socialist leader EUGENE DEBS, Union organizer SAMUEL GOMPERS and the three leads of the piece: celebrated detective WILLIAM J. “BILLY” BURNS, called America’s SHERLOCK HOLMES; legendary defense lawyer CLARENCE DARROW, and Hollywood film pioneer D.

Element’s redesign stays true to its boxy self
Fort Worth Star Telegram, TX 
Some women, such as my own significant other, absolutely hated the Element when they first saw it. My wife commented to me, after seeing a 2003 Element test vehicle in our driveway for the first time, that “If a man came to pick me for a date in that thing, I’d send him back home for another vehicle. “But the vehicle has grown on her enough that she now claims to like it, which I supposed means that I could now safely buy one and bring it home if I wanted to. Besides, there’s already a CR-V in our driveway, driven regularly by a daughter, so the Element would kind of balance things out. One of the attributes that appealed most to my wife in the previous-generation Element was the abundance of interior storage spaces or “cubbies,” as she likes to call them. As a lifelong packrat, she appreciates those. The new Element doesn’t disappoint in that respect, either.

Energy plan jolts Emporia families
Topeka Capital Journal, KS 
Westar has about 1,000 substations scattered across its territory to convert high-voltage electricity to a form consumable in homes and businesses. Westar civil engineer Cindy Risch said the company took complaints of unusual sounds and stray voltage seriously, because both could be indicators of impending equipment failure. She said the load pushed through the substation had grown each year since 2005 but not substantially. Hypothetically, Risch said, a grid of copper wire buried beneath the substation to provide protection to workers inside the perimeter might be leaking voltage. The Evans home is 10 feet from the substation’s chain-link fence. Bill Hines, Westar’s operations director in Wichita, said considerable manpower was devoted to examining safety claims made by people residing around the Emporia substation, but nothing out of the ordinary was found. “We did a lot of investigation and thus far have not found anything,” Hines said.
