3 arrested after shot fired through floor into toddler's room

COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS Three men were arrested over the weekend after a woman in a basement condominium found a bullet hole in the ceiling of her 4-year-old child's room.

The bullet also went through a TV and ended up on the child's dresser.

The incident allegedly started Friday night at the Waterside Cove Condos, 1227 E. 7370 South. There was a dispute in the condo above the child's room, said Cottonwood Heights Police Sgt. Corbett Ford. The exact nature of the dispute was not immediately known.

Investigators were still trying to sort out stories Monday, Ford said, but from what they could ascertain, several people pistol-whipped a man inside the upstairs condo. That man responded by pulling out a gun and firing two shots, Ford said.

It was not known Monday whether the gunman was aiming at someone or firing "warning" shots, police said. One round went through a wall and outside the condo. The other went through the floor into the condo below.

"It's a bedroom of a 4-year-old that was not home at the time. But it goes through and lands on the dresser," Ford said.

The man who allegedly fired the shots and was pistol-whipped ran away, Ford said.

There are walk-in closets in Malibu larger than Steven Jones' Laguna Beach home. So when it came time for the designer to decorate his 320-square-foot pied--terre overlooking St. Ann's Beach, he treated the space as if he were designing a boat. "Everything had to be very intentional and purpose-driven," says the former vice president of visual merchandising for Quiksilver, who cut his design teeth creating environments for the surfer fashion industry in the '80s.

He began by stripping the apartment of its Mediterranean villa trappings with the idea of turning the condo into a classic 1940s beach abode. Painting the brown-and-beige walls a bright white made the space appear larger. In addition, "the light comes in and bounces around, lightening the room," says Jones. "It also creates a gallery-like backdrop where anything you put on the walls is going to pop."

Jones advises keeping the material palette "super simple" when designing a small space, "to keep the busyness down." In addition to painting all surfaces white, he kept other interior appointments appliances, sinks, countertop and window shades a snowy hue as well. He also used the same 1-inch glass tiles in the kitchen backsplash and floor, as well as the bathroom floor and the living room fireplace surround.

Replacing the dark shag carpet with a lighter wall-to-wall sisal helped to unify and enlarge the space, while removal of the acoustic cottage cheese ceiling created a sleeker, modern aesthetic. Jones also replaced the makeshift hot-plate kitchen with a ship-tight galley and added a shelf above the farmer's sink to showcase knickknacks.

Multifunctional pieces are another good idea for a small space, he says. To divide the kitchen area from the living room, the designer built a low wall that doubles as a bookcase. His new custom-made daybed features a lift-up storage compartment underneath, while a new dresser that separates the kitchen from the bedroom space has shelves on either side for books. He also built it shallow, 15 inches deep, "so it didn't stick too far out into the room."

Other furnishings were well-edited to a few essential pieces a lounge and a pair of vintage chairs, a coffee table, a bed even though Jones, an avowed flea market addict, owns two 40-foot-long shipping containers bulging with retro furnishings and had loads of pieces from which to choose. (He uses them in the boutique real estate company Better Shelter that he started after leaving Quiksilver in 2005. The company specializes in renovating homes by adding age-appropriate details light fixtures, stained glass, architectural trim, hooks, handles and door pulls and then stages the houses with a combination of flea market finds and more contemporary pieces from Ikea, West Elm and CB2.)

Jones applied the same design recipe to his tiny lair where items from his quirky collections were combined with architectural remnants. Walls were hung with surfer art, and he brought in some campy accessories, such as his '50s leaping fish lamp, sea horse candlesticks and an array of fish objets. He inserted a 1940s paneled front door with vertical reed glass, which sets the period tone upon entering. Lucite door knobs on a new dresser and a period pedestal sink, toilet and medicine chest added authenticity. "I wanted to make it look as if everything had always been here, as well as add some personality to my little stucco box."

Tiny Laguna Beach condo feels roomier with ship-shape design concepts

The Chinese room is a thought experiment presented by John Searle (1932-living) to challenge the claim that it is possible for a digital computer running a program to have a "mind" and "consciousness"[a] in the same sense that people do, simply by virtue of running the right program. The experiment is intended to help refute a philosophical position that Searle named "strong AI":

"The appropriately programmed computer with the right inputs and outputs would thereby have a mind in exactly the same sense human beings have minds."[b]

To contest this view, Searle writes in his first description of the argument: "Suppose that I'm locked in a room and ... that I know no Chinese, either written or spoken". He further supposes that he has a set of rules in English that "enable me to correlate one set of formal symbols with another set of formal symbols", that is, the Chinese characters. These rules allow him to respond, in written Chinese, to questions, also written in Chinese, in such a way that the posers of the questions who do understand Chinese are convinced that Searle can actually understand the Chinese conversation too, even though he cannot. Similarly, he argues that if there is a computer program that allows a computer to carry on an intelligent conversation in a written language, the computer executing the program would not understand the conversation either.

The experiment is the centerpiece of Searle's Chinese room argument which holds that a program cannot give a computer a "mind", "understanding" or "consciousness", regardless of how intelligently it may make it behave. The argument is directed against the philosophical positions of functionalism and computationalism, which hold that the mind may be viewed as an information processing system operating on formal symbols. Although it was originally presented in reaction to the statements of artificial intelligence researchers, it is not an argument against the goals of AI research, because it does not limit the amount of intelligence a machine can display. The argument applies only to digital computers and does not apply to machines in general. This kind of argument against AI was described by John Haugeland as the "hollow shell" argument.[4]

Searle's argument first appeared in his paper "Minds, Brains, and Programs", published in Behavioral and Brain Sciences in 1980. It has been widely discussed in the years since.

Searle's thought experiment begins with this hypothetical premise: suppose that artificial intelligence research has succeeded in constructing a computer that behaves as if it understands Chinese. It takes Chinese characters as input and, by following the instructions of a computer program, produces other Chinese characters, which it presents as output. Suppose, says Searle, that this computer performs its task so convincingly that it comfortably passes the Turing test: it convinces a human Chinese speaker that the program is itself a live Chinese speaker. To all of the questions that the person asks, it makes appropriate responses, such that any Chinese speaker would be convinced that he is talking to another Chinese-speaking human being.

The question Searle wants to answer is this: does the machine literally "understand" Chinese? Or is it merely simulating the ability to understand Chinese?[c] Searle calls the first position "strong AI" and the latter "weak AI".[d]

Searle then supposes that he is in a closed room and has a book with an English version of the computer program, along with sufficient paper, pencils, erasers, and filing cabinets. Searle could receive Chinese characters through a slot in the door, process them according to the program's instructions, and produce Chinese characters as output. If the computer had passed the Turing test this way, it follows, says Searle, that he would do so as well, simply by running the program manually.

Searle asserts that there is no essential difference between the roles of the computer and himself in the experiment. Each simply follows a program, step-by-step, producing a behavior which is then interpreted as demonstrating intelligent conversation. However, Searle would not be able to understand the conversation. ("I don't speak a word of Chinese," he points out.) Therefore, he argues, it follows that the computer would not be able to understand the conversation either.

Searle argues that without "understanding" (or "intentionality"), we cannot describe what the machine is doing as "thinking" and since it does not think, it does not have a "mind" in anything like the normal sense of the word. Therefore he concludes that "strong AI" is false.

A Danvers developer proposes a 230-room extended-stay hotel by restoring and expanding a vacant complex at the Charlestown Navy Yard.

Kavanagh Advisory Group wants to convert the century-old Chain Forge building 105 into a five-story, 180,000-square-foot limited-service hotel including conference rooms, a restaurant and fitness center. The company also has a 54-unit condo development under construction on an adjacent property.

The 1.5-acre site hotel site owned by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) is bounded by Ninth and 13th Streets, the Second Avenue pedestrian walkway and First Avenue. The bulk of the hotel space would be located in a former smithery building, and the facade of the existing structures would be retained. The building has been vacant since 1974, when the Boston Naval Shipyard closed.

Kavanagh proposes adding a 63,000-square-foot one-level addition adjacent to Second Avenue, which it said is necessary to cover the costs of restoration and environmental remediation.

No on-site parking is planned. The developers said they will sponsor a valet service and that the Boston Autoport in Charlestown has agreed to reserve 200 spaces for the hotel.

The development also would include a historical exhibit containing 38 pieces of machinery owned by the National Park Service.

The project is subject to approval by the BRA, National Park Service and Boston Landmarks Commission.

COLUMBIA For the first time, Room at the Inn Columbias winter shelter will be open for roughly 36 hours during both the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

Broadway Christian Church,2601 W. Broadway, will open at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and close at 7 a.m. Friday. Admission to the shelter will only be on Wednesday. Hours for New Year's will be the same: from 6:30 p.m. Dec. 31 to 7 a.m. Jan. 2.

Room at the Inn opened for the year on Dec. 11 and will operate through March 10. Its operation is supported by 20 to 25 faith-based congregations.

This is the first year Room at the Inn has been open in December, said Debby Graham, outreach coordinator at Broadway Christian Church, which is one of four churches that serve as venues for the shelter.

"We missed the cold snap in November, but no one can predict the weather in Missouri," Debby Graham, the outreach coordinator at Broadway Christian, said. "It requires extra volunteers and extra funding. We just go on faith that enough money will come in. We are hoping and praying that the support from the community will help us. It always seems to work out."

In addition to Broadway Christian, the host churches are Missouri United Methodist Church, 204 S. Ninth St.; First Baptist Church, 1112 E. Broadway; and, for the first time, Fairview United Methodist Church, 3200 Chapel Hill Road.

Supervising editor is Elizabeth Brixey.

Whether a hotel room or an extra bedroom in a house, proprietors must pay taxes. But a website lists several locations in the region that arent in compliance with paying taxes, which could lead to problems for renters and guests.

Airbnb.com is a website where people can post extra rooms, homes or other spaces for travelers to view and book a stay. At present, there are two postings in Bowling Green and one each in Alvaton, Smiths Grove, Scottsville and Franklin.

Although Airbnb encourages hosts to research any taxes, permits or regulations that may apply, a nationwide issue with Airbnb is that hosts try to dodge such taxes, permits and regulations, saidVicki Fitch, executive director of the Bowling Green Area Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Beginning June 1, 2005, a new section of Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 142 created a transient room tax a lodging tax at the rate of 1 percent of the rent on every occupancy of any suite, room, rooms or cabins charged by all persons, companies, corporations, groups or organizations doing business as motor courts, motels, hotels, inns, tourist camps or like or similar accommodations businesses (excluding campgrounds).

The tax revenue goes into theTourism, Meeting and Convention Marketing Fund administered by the Commerce Cabinet, and its used for marketing and promoting Kentucky tourism.The transient room tax is assessed in addition to the 6 percent sales tax and any locally imposed room tax.

Fitch said hosts who dont pay taxes knowingly or unknowingly are hurting Kentucky.

The state is always in need of money, and this looks like a situation where they could get some, Fitch said. State sales tax is missing out on what looks like quite a bit of money.

Airbnb operates in 34,000 cities in 192 countries and has 1 million listings and 25 million guests, according to its website.

The way (Airbnb) is set up, theres nothing that gets you signed up with the city of Bowling Green. Theres nothing that gets you signed up to pay transient room taxes to the city or the state, Fitch said. This is not good for our state because were missing out on tourism with the structure in place.

When the visitors bureau learns that someone is renting a space and not paying taxes, the host is usually cooperative, Fitch said. Most of the time they realize the advantage of being part of the CVB system because we promote our lodging, Fitch said.
