ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Investigators and prosecutors worked seven months building their case.
Once they found the victim's remains, they returned to the scene six times to collect evidence. They interviewed witnesses and scoured the crime scene by land and air. They measured tire tracks. They collected samples for DNA testing.
And, they say, they determined who killed a moose they believe was shot illegally inside a national park.

CHICAGO — Terri Rossman considers herself a visual learner. So when the 52-year-old marketing professional wanted to learn a new knitting stitch, she turned to the Web.
"I searched for 'knit bobble stitch' on Google and I found a video of someone doing it," said Rossman, who lives in the Detroit area. "It was perfect for me."

Oh, wondrous summer sandals, how you love to teeter atop sky-high wedges and reach strappy stiletto heights.
But at what cost? Are you looking to take our soles — not to mention our heels, arches and every other foot facet?
Well, no more. We are armed (or footed, rather) with a team of tools that allow us to strut without pain.

From wikipedia:
Thomas Andrew Dorsey (July 1, 1899, Villa Rica, Georgia - January 23, 1993, Chicago), is known as "the father of gospel music". Earlier in his life he was a leading blues pianist known as Georgia Tom.
As formulated by Dorsey, gospel music combines Christian praise with the rhythms of jazz and the blues. His conception also deviates from what had been, to that time, standard hymnal practice by referring explicitly to the self, and the self's relation to faith and God, rather than the individual subsumed into the group via belief.
