Buying apps is so easy. You see something appealing, click on it, and in no time, you own it. Those quick clicks recently left Android users without anything to show for it: an app that didn't work.

It's against the law to pass a school bus loading or unloading children, but an I-Team investigation revealed it's still a very dangerous problem that happens every day.

Theres some sprucing-up planned at the state Capitol: Pesky popcorn ceilings will be smoothed out, carpeting installed, voting systems replaced, and at long last female House members will get a bathroom.
The upgrades were announced Monday at a meeting of the Legislative Council.
Lets see if it happens; Ive been waiting 20 years, said Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque, of the long-sought bathroom.
Men in the House have a bathroom right off the House members lounge, just a few feet from the House floor.
But the 26 women in the House have to walk around a hallway to the Senate side of the building to use the female senators bathroom and hope they remembered to take a key.
We miss votes, said Rep. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, who has been lobbying for years for a more convenient bathroom. I missed two or three very important votes. We do not have facilities close enough to the floor.
Stewart sponsored a nonbinding House memorial in 2009, which passed unanimously, that urged development of a plan for a womens bathroom off the House lounge.
But by then the recession had hit, and the Legislature put a halt to remodeling projects.
Now, the state budget for the year that begins July 1 includes $2.5 million for Capitol upgrades. The Legislative Council Service, the Legislatures administrative arm, is coming up with a plan for the new bathroom.
Purple and yellow petunias greeted the faithful ascending the steps of the Flowered Plain village church on Sunday, its graceful gray domes a shade darker than the overcast sky. Inside, men sat in the pews on the right, as is customary here, while women, some toting grandsons and granddaughters, occupied the left and center.
Video projectors prompted congregants to a hymn, "Tread Softly." They rose, filling the sanctuary with their voices. "Be silent, be silent! A whisper is heard.... Tread softly, tread softly! My Lord is here."
If quiet reserve was one message of the morning, unity was another. When it came time for the sermon, lay pastor Ye Sen did not refer directly to what had happened six days earlier just up the road in this eastern coastal city: After a tense, weeks-long standoff, government wrecking crews had torn down the massive Three Rivers, or Sanjiang, Protestant church.
Ye's Scripture of inspiration, though, from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Philippians, emphasized the need for Christians to stick together amid adversity. "Stand firm in one spirit," says one verse, "contending as one man for the faith of the Gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you."
The assembled flock, however, could not help but betray some unease. "You must be careful whom you talk to," cautioned two women from a Beijing-based religious publication in town to investigate the demolition. "There could be government spies among the people here."
A giant, red billboard stands at the highway turnoff for Pudong village, home to Three Rivers Church. Erected by the Yongjia County government, it declares in yellow characters, "Demolition With Fairness, Demolition With Righteousness, Illegal Structures Must Be Demolished." On Monday, more than a dozen policemen in white helmets guarded the road, allowing only residents to pass.
An officer on duty tersely explained: "There is something sensitive here." As for how long access would be restricted, he said, "A few months."
Sensitivities are likely to last longer. Five local bureaucrats have been singled out for punishment, charged with failing to stop construction of a church they knew was to be much larger than building permits allowed.
Authorities say the church is just one of many illegal structures ensnared in their "Rectify Three, Demolish One" campaign intended to halt rampant violation of building regulations; signs in Wenzhou tout the campaign as a move to "make space for development."
Many local Christians, though, think the campaign aims to crack down on the churches that have proliferated in Wenzhou since the 1980s. Many members of the city's business class have flocked to the religion and funded the construction of increasingly elaborate houses of worship, in the process earning the city the moniker "China's Jerusalem."

China demolition of church in Wenzhou leaves Christians uneasy

In early 1913, a young seminarian named Paul Y. Livingston went door-to-door in Mount Wolf to reach out to the Lutheran and unchurched residents.
Because of his work, on July 26, 1914, St. John Evangelical Church started with 20 members.
As the decades passed, the membership would grow, the building would change, and the descendents of those 20 would become examples of the strong community bond created a century ago.
The church, at 23 N. Third St. in Mount Wolf, will be celebrating its anniversary with activities, including services used throughout the years and a website featuring historical facts about the church.
Members of the congregation will participate in a Cornerstone Opening Service at 10:45 a.m. May 18. Cornerstones, often a significant stone placed during the construction of the building, sometimes contain newspapers, coins or church artifacts. No one knows what's in the 1914 cornerstone, said Dawn Brenner, co-chair of the 100th anniversary celebration, but it is one of three to be opened this year.
At 9:30 a.m. June 8, all the children of the congregation will participate in a special service.
Churches in York County are not short on well-kept histories. Some instances about St. John that stand out are:
On May 23, 1915, the congregation decided to build a church. The Cornerstone Laying took place in November 1915. The mortgage was less than $7,000 and was paid in full four years later.

Posted: May 5 Updated: Today at 12:08 AM With 39 apartments priced at the market rate, the West End Place project is another sign of rising demand for upscale housing in Portland.

Located on the corner of Brackett and Pine streets, the $7 million West End Place will feature 39 apartments and two retail spaces in a four-story building. The project by developer Redfern LWS was endorsed last year by both the Portland Planning Board and the citys Historic Preservation Board, which reviewed the proposal because it is located in the West Ends historic district.
Tuesdays groundbreaking also marks a potentially significant shift in the rental market in Portland, where demand for upscale or market rate housing is rising.
With units renting for $1,300 to $2,500 a month, the West End Place project is the first new apartment complex in Portland in more than 20 years in which all of the tenants are expected to pay the full market rate for their housing. Apartment complexes built in Portland in recent years have included subsidized housing units reserved for lower-income individuals or families.
Portlands rental housing vacancy rate has hovered around 2 percent well below the 7 percent vacancy rate that is considered healthy. Housing officials have said that adding new rental units for Portlanders at all income levels is important to help moderate the citys rental rates, which have risen by double-digit percentages since 2010, according to a recent market survey.
