A Cedar Rapids man said hes stuck in an apartment that smells like a dead body. That's because there was a dead body just one floor down.

KCRG-TV reports that it was around two weeks ago when Shamrock Apartments tenant Ramon Rojas noticed a foul smell in his unit. He opened windows, tried to air things out, even got a carpet cleaning from his property manager.

Nothing worked.

The smell was so bad. I couldn't even eat here. I was trying to eat outside. When eating here, Id feel like throwing up, Rojas told the station.

Authorities said the smell was the decaying body of a 57-year-old woman who died of natural causes in the unit below. The medical examiner believed the body had been there for 10 to 14 days.

The corpse was found and removed on March 11.

Rojas admitted the odor now is nowhere near what it was, but said he can still smell it. Rojas said he was staying with a friend for the time being.

I dont feel like I want to live here, Rojas said. Or cook, or whatever.

Cleaning experts said it can take professionals weeks to get rid of those kinds of odors. Crews often have to clean carpeting, furniture fabric, duct work, insulation and more. Apartments sometimes make things more difficult. Smells can get into other units, which also need cleaning.

The building itself and all other materials in there start absorbing that odor, said Bryan Ballard with ServiceMaster 380, a cleaning service in Cedar Rapids. You have to thoroughly clean the entire structure.

Thoughts on the Morphtronics Decks 2015

Thoughts on the Morphtronics Decks 2015 - Video

(Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post)

The Redskins have taken a noticeably different approach in their personnel moves this offseason, forgoing splashy headlines and big skill-position names while signing solid defensive pieces at mostly modest prices.

The team also seems to be taking a different approach toward its fans, judging by a letter team president Bruce Allen sent to season-ticket holders this week. Striking a humble, contrite tone, Allen acknowledged the widespread dissatisfaction with the FedEx Field game-day experience and promised improvements in parking, stadium entry, technology, concessions and elsewhere.

He said the team would be removing its much-hyped party decks to decrease congestion on the club level, that its considering a number of significant additions to its concessions operation, that it will create more ways to get into the stadium, and that it hopes to improve the parking situation, possibly by creating dedicated tailgating areas. He also said the team made a $5 million investment that will give free Wi-Fi to every fan, accessible from every seat.

Redskins fans deserve a stadium experience worthy of your loyal support, Allen wrote. Its clear from your feedback that in several areas, we need to do better.

Theimpetus for these changes came from surveys sent out by the NFL and the team, according to Allens letter. He said fans responded that entering the stadium was too difficult and time-consuming, that they want better access to mobile and digital technology, that the club level was too congested and difficult to navigate, that the parking lots are similarly frustrating, that they want more and better entertainment options inside the stadium, and that concessions options were lacking.

He also announced a two-hour fan forum at FedEx Field in April, where he and his staff will listen to your questions, respond to your concerns, and incorporate your suggestions when it comes to the fan experience. The team, Allen said, wants to provide the best Game Day experience in sports.

Skeptics might point out that the letter comes as ticket-holders are deciding whether to renew their accounts, and that the elimination of the party decks seems certain to further reduce the capacity of a stadium that has been shrinking in recent years. Once listed at more than 91,000, the capacity fell to around 80,000 with the creation of the party decks several years ago, which were promised to create a better fan experience.

Skeptics might also argue that it took another season of discontent which featured sometimes sparse crowds, a tale of expired beer, many paper bag heads and various other protests for the team to promise changes fans had long asked for.

Will this new approach be real, and will it stick? The same could be asked of Washingtons new direction in personnel. This story, in other words, will be updated. But these could be valuable first steps.

LDS Church announces 5th, 6th temple dedications for 2015

By Tad Walch

March 14th, 2015 @ 9:32am

SALT LAKE CITY The LDS Church now has six scheduled temple openings in 2015, after a new announcement Friday. In October, church President Thomas S. Monson said he anticipated the faith would dedicate or rededicate at least five temples in 2015.

On Friday, the church announced the dates for the rededication of the Mexico City Mexico Temple in September and dedication of the Tijuana Mexico Temple in December.

Five of the openings now scheduled this year are new temples, but all six represent progress on a backlog of construction work and planning. That backlog led President Monson to say last April that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would concentrate efforts on completing previously announced temples for a time before announcing any more new ones.

At the time, the church had 142 completed temples and 28 previously announced temples that hadn't been started or finished. Two were completed and opened during the remainder of 2014 Fort Lauderdale, Florida; and Phoenix.

With the five new temples scheduled to open this year, the number on the backlog will drop to 21.

"The church seems to be on track," said Brandon Plewe, who follows temple building as part of his statistical work as editor in chief of "Mapping Mormonism: An Atlas of Latter-day Saint History." "With the temples where work is actually under way, things are happening."

The temples scheduled to open this year, with relevant dates (open houses held every day of the week except Sundays), are:
