MADISON TWP. -Cooper Caffrey was on the cafeteria floor waiting for an ambulance.

The bullet had gone in his stomach and out his back. It just missed the 14-year-olds spine and liver.

A friend texted him to ask if he was OK.

NO was all he could manage.

Cooper couldnt feel his legs. He asked the dean of students if he was going to die. He asked about his brothers.

A short time later, his dad called.

Wheres Austin? Cooper said. Go find him and make sure hes OK.

Austin is the boy who shot him.

.....

They knew about the gun. Some had seen it in the bathroom.

Austin Hancock was nervous. Lunch had started about 15 minutes ago. Two students stared at him across the table.

The whispers started, and Austin began shaking. He had a gun in his pocket.

"Oh my God," a girl said.

She jogged to the office, looking back at Austin. He stood up.

He didn't say anything.

He fired at least two rounds at a group of students about 15 feet away from him. He was staring at the exit, and as soon as the second shot rang out, he ran.

At Butler County school, a day of fear

.....

On June 6, Austin was being sentenced at the Butler County Juvenile Justice Center. Four students had been injured in the school shooting. None had died.

Austins mother cried.

He is not a cold-blooded criminal, she told the judge.

Before reading Austins sentence, Judge Ronald Craft recalled a time he brought a youth baseball team to Madison Township. He had never been there before.

He doesnt remember how his team did in the tournament, but he remembers Madison.

Its a great community, said Craft. And when this happened, that spirit of America, if you will, was temporarily damaged.

The victims were given a chance to speak. An official read a statement from the grandmother of one student, who would later sue Austin and his family. That student tried to return to school but found it too physically draining.

Then Cooper took the stand.

I forgive you, he told Austin.

I should have done more, he said.

Im sorry."

Sometime before the shooting, Austin argued with his dad about grades.

It was often about grades.

Austin was in danger of failing history. His dad yelled at him, Austin would later tell police, for not caring enough. But Austin said he was trying to do better so he could run track in the spring.

Austin had said he wanted to live with his biological mom.

His parents had split up shortly after he was born, when they were still in high school. His mom had served time in prison on drug charges. Tommy Hancock got full custody of Austin when he was 4.

Kristi Blevins has only attended three of her sons sporting events, Austin told police. But she is doing better now, the boy said, and trying to spend more time with him.

Austin loves his dad. He said they were like brothers. But he grew tired of the arguments about grades.

He grew tired of the chores.

He was washing dishes when he snapped.

"I'm gonna hang myself because of you," Austin screamed at his father.

A few months before he brought the gun to school, Austin wrote a suicide note. He flushed it down the toilet.

Some of Austin's relatives teach at Madison. Others attend school there.

They all say they never expected this. His step-mom said she used to practice Austins yearbook smile, because his natural one was too big.

This note was found in Austin Hancock's bookbag after he was arrested for shooting two other students in the Madison Schools cafeteria in 2016.(Photo: Provided/Butler County Sheriff's Office)

But after his arrest, Austin told police he often sat alone at family events.

Two years ago, during a Super Bowl party at his aunt's house, he broke down. He doesn't remember what was said to him, but he remembers crying in front of everyone.

"My family just kind of looks at me weird," he said in an interview with police. "That kind of bothers me."

When Austin brought a gun to school on Feb. 29, 2016, he also brought extra ammunition. He didn't plan on reloading and shooting anyone else.

He brought it for himself.

After the shooting, a sheriff's deputy asked him why he did it.

"So I wouldn't have to go back home," Austin said.

911 calls reveal terrifying aftermath of Ohio school shooting

.....

Cooper met Austin in school.

Austin was listening to Nirvana on his laptop. Cooper asked him about it and they started talking. The two wrestled together, often spending time between matches listening to music.

He had phenomenal taste in music, Cooper said.

A reference to Nirvana is something Cooper took out of his courtroom speech. He didnt want people to think Austin was a clich a troubled teen who fantasized about death while listening to Kurt Cobain.

He wanted them to see what he saw.

He saw a boy struggling with the split of his parents. He saw a boy who needed help. In many ways, he saw himself.

Coopers parents are divorced. It hasnt been easy for him, and the shooting hasnt helped.

Before Austins sentencing, Coopers dad told him there would be hordes of television cameras and news media there. He was worried for his son.

I want them to be there, Cooper said.

Are you ready for Japril to get some alone time in Montana? "Grey's Anatomy" star Sarah Drew told Moviefone that Season 13's April and Jackson (Jesse Williams) standalone episode would be "pivotal for the two of them, individually and also as a pair," and now we have more details and images to go with the tease.

Episode 16, "Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?" airs Thursday, March 16 at 8 p.m. on ABC. Here's the synopsis:

"Dr. Jackson Avery and Dr. April Kepner travel to Montana in order to perform a complicated surgery on a young patient, but Jackson's mind is elsewhere, and April is forced to step up and get him back on track."

The episode was directed by Kevin McKidd (Dr. Owen Hunt), and both he and executive producer Debbie Allen (Dr. Catherine Avery) were featured in some of the behind-the-scenes photos ABC shared to promote the episode:

What's on Jackson's mind? He does look lost in thought, especially in that closeup photo.

Sarah Drew told Moviefone the trip to Montana is for a throat transplant case:

"But it's a really incredible opportunity for them to be kind of still and have to face one another with nothing else distracting them out of the normal environment. And we're really, really proud of it. Kevin McKidd directed it. It's very different, tonally, than a lot of the other episodes. There's a lot of quiet space and stillness. It's not like frantic and moving super-fast. And it's really lovely."

Before we get to this very lovely-sounding episode, we still have Episode 15, "Civil War," which airs March 9. (There is no episode on Thursday, March 2.) Here are more details on "Civil War."

The neck

In terms of extreme forces they endure, this season we anticipate a greater mechanical grip and faster cornering speeds so we would expect a possible increase in the lateral and longitudinal g-forces which will increase the load on the neck. The neck has to endure a 30-35% increase in load, so the equivalent of about an extra 30-40kg.

Technogym is a partner of ours and they have provided a specific machine known as the F1 Training Machine which enables the drivers to sit in a very specific position and build the right strength. The steering wheel is plate-loaded so you can adjust the position and the load. The drivers can also wear a helmet with attachments of bungee cords which help provide some elastic resistance to simulate the loads they experience in the car.

The drivers also need neuromuscular capabilities so their nervous system needs to be able to react quickly to stimulus on the track, whether that be a move by a fellow competitor, debris on the track, or information or instructions from the pit. They have to make quick decisions in seconds. Driving at such high speeds requires instant decision-making while controlling a million pound machine which is very valuable to the team.

Scoop: GREY'S ANATOMY on ABC - Thursday, March 16, 2017 - Broadway World

Restricting housing construction does not just hurt developersit makes housing less affordable for everyone. But to overcome neighborhood resistance, you need to understand what drives it.

Birds sit on a telephone line near Skid Row Housing Trust's 102 pre-fabricated modular apartments under construction in Los Angeles.

Next week, Los Angeles will vote on Measure S, a ballot initiative that proposes a two-year moratorium on developments that required changes to land use.

The law could potentially limit both new developments and affordable housing. Even with an exception for affordable housing developments written into the law, critics say it could still further restrict affordability in the region.

For a growing chorus of urbanists, NIMBYism and land use restrictions are the culprit behind everything from growing income inequality to shrinking affordable housing, productivity, and innovation. A 2015 study estimated that land use restrictions costs the United States upwards of $1.5 trillion in lost productivity. The 2016 Economic Report of the President called for sweeping reform of zoning and land use restrictions to overcome these costly economic rents, build more housing, and stimulate the U.S. economy.

A recent white paper by Paavo Monkkonen sheds interesting new light on the connection between NIMBYism and housing affordability. It takes a deep dive into, on the one hand, neighborhood opposition and land use restrictions, as well as housing supply and housing costs in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Californias other expensive housing markets. (The research was partially supported by an unrestricted grant from the Center for California Real Estate to the University of California Center Sacramento Center Housing, Land Use, and Development Public Leadership and White Paper Award.)

California offers an ideal case study in the effects of NIMBYism on housing prices. Its major metrosLos Angeles, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, San Diego, Santa Barbaraare some of the most expensive in the nation. They combine high levels of productivity and high levels of amenitytwo factors which create the high demand which puts pressure on housing prices, and have fallen victim to harsh land use restrictions.

San Francisco Is So Expensive Even Renters Can Be NIMBYs

My own research finds that knowledge and professional workers are able to pay Californias higher housing costs. The burden falls largely on less advantaged blue-collar and service workers who have very little money left over after paying for housing. San Francisco has the highest housing costs in the country, while L.A. has the highest share of rent-burdened households. Across the state as a whole, renters need to make almost four times the state minimum wage to afford an average rent.

The crux of the California problem, the Monkkonen paper argues, is not the states restrictions on uber-high density building in and around urban centers, but the broader dependence on lower-density zoning across the board. Los Angeles may be a relatively dense city and metro (indeed, according to some basic measures, it is the densest metro in the country), but three-quarters of its residential land is devoted to relatively low-density single-family housing that only shelters half the citys population.

But adding new supply in the form of high-rise towers in and around the core will do little to solve the overall housing affordability problem. For one, those towers are usually built for the wealthy, and luxury buildings often boost the price of housing in neighborhoods in and around where theyre built (prompting calls like this one for a luxury housing tax to fund affordable units). They can also displace people from their neighborhoods and change the character of those neighborhoodsthings residents very much care about and will understandably seek to block.

Understanding NIMBYs

To get beyond NIMBYism, we first must understand it. Neighborhood resistance isnt just triggered by residents trying to prop up their home values or protect their neighborhoods from things they dont likeits the product of policies that provide incentives toward homeownership and a regulatory system that encourages and prompts opposition.

Even if the economic arguments about the costs and negative consequences of NIMBYism reflect sound economic logic, they amount to little if they fail to address the very real concerns of neighborhood groups. Most regular citizens and neighborhood residents dont think like dispassionate economists. According to a 2016 Building Industry Association poll, some two-thirds of San Franciscans surveyed do not think increasing housing supply improves affordability. Rather, they believe that land use regulations help to protect their neighborhoods.

Monkkonen goes on to parse four different strains of NIMBYism and their underlying motivations:

To fend off the four flavors of NIMBYism, the paper suggests several strategies:

There are other ways to combat NIMBYism. Yale Law School professor David Schleicher suggests using local tax policy to essentially co-opt NIMBY opposition to new development. The basic idea, referred to as tax increment local transfers, is to allow the residents of neighborhoods to share in the tax revenues that come from new developmentfor example, by rebating and reducing their own property taxes over a period of time. Others suggest that shifting from the current property tax to a land-value tax, which taxes property owners on the underlying value of the land itself, will create better incentives for more intensive land use.

But regardless of the precise mechanism employed, finding better ways to understand and counteract NIMBYism and create more vibrant and affordable cities is one of the most pressing policy issues facing urban America. The need to build more housing without removing community input is, as Monkkonen puts it, "a challenge we can no longer ignore."

Anatomy of a NIMBY - CityLab

In this week's edition of "Play Anatomy," CardinalsSource examines the impact nose tackle Corey Peters made stopping the run during the 2016 season.

Editor's note: Each week, CardinalsSource looks at a particular play or a particular skill demonstrated by a Cardinals' player from the 2016 season in great detail. This week's CardinalsSource is examining the run-stopping capabilities of nose tackle Corey Peters by looking at a week 16 play against Seattle.

After missing the 2015 season with a serious Achilles' injury, nose tackleCorey Petersreturned to the Arizona Cardinals in 2016 to play out the second year of a three-year contract.

Peters played the first five seasons of his career with the Atlanta Falcons before signing with Arizona to bolster the team's run-stopping capabilities in the interior of its defense.

During his first healthy season with Arizona, Peters proved to be a valuable asset, racking up 21 tackles and commanding enough attention on the line to allow players like Chandler Jones, Markus Golden and Calais Campbell to work in more favorable one-on-one situations.

Peters performed well against the run throughout the season, thanks in large part to a quick first step and a great initial burst that made him a challenging blocking assignment on zone run plays. To put that in perspective, CardinalsSource is looking at a week 16 run play the Seattle Seahawks ran against the Cardinals that Peters stopped in its tracks.

Prior to the snap, Arizona lined up with a 4-2-5 defensive front, allowing Jones to put his hand in the dirt and defensive endJosh Mauroto anchor the opposite side of the line of scrimmage.

In this alignment, Peters is set up in a four-shade on the outside shoulder of the right guard. If Seattle plans on running right, Peters knows he's responsible for shutting down the B-gap and pushing the offensive guard back off the line of scrimmage. if the Seahawks run left, Peters is responsible for tracking down the play from the back side of the line and beating the block of the right tackle.

At the snap, Seattle's linemen immediatelyrush left with zone blocking footwork that pits Peters against the Seattle right tackle. With the right guard attempting to reach the linebacker level and the right tackle responsible for Peters, the Seahawks leave Mauro unaccounted for and expect quarterback Russell Wilson to hold him with a play-action fake. By holding Mauro in his spot and reaching Peters with the right tackle, Seattle's goal is to set up a cutback lane for its running back if the play side becomes muddled.

Peters, however, foils the Seahawks plans almost immediately after the snap. Once he realizes the guard lined up in front of him wants to get to the linebacker level, he slides through the B-gap and begins scraping his way down the line of scrimmage, preventing the right tackle from securing a clean angle to block him from.

As a result, the cutback lane can't develop for the Seahawks' back, who must either follow his fullback into the hole, or attempt to bounce the play to the outside, where Jones has clearly established contain. Essentially, the back is out of options, and Peters makes his decision far more challenging because he's racing down the line of scrimmage to make a tackle in the backfield.

Eventually, when Seattle's fullback cuts up the field, so too does its running back, but Peters is already there to make the play. Peters secures a tackle and brings the back down for a two-yard loss, all because he started the play off with an excellent first step and reaction at the line of scrimmage that prevented the Seahawks' right tackle from having a clean angle to block from.

If Peters gets reached, perhaps a back side cutback lane develops and the Seahawks are able to make something out of nothing. However, because it does not, a simple zone play goes for a two-yard loss, and Peters forces Seattle to rethink the way it's going to block this play moving forward.

Play anatomy: Corey Peters - Scout

It will go down in history as the most awkward, embarrassing Oscar moment of all time: an extraordinary failure in the Oscars voting procedure. The traditional high point of the marathon Oscars telecast collapsed in ignominy as organisers were forced to acknowledge that the wrong film La La Land had been named best picture winner, instead of the actual victor, Moonlight. We piece together the sequence of events that led to the chaotic scenes.

1. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty emerge from the back of the stage to announce the best picture win.

2. A close-up photograph shows he is clearly carrying a winners envelope for best actress the award for which (to La La Lands Emma Stone) has just taken place.

3. Beatty begins to read out the winners card, and is obviously puzzled by what he is reading, looking in the envelope to see if there is anything else in there.

4. Beatty, uncertain, hands the card to Dunaway, who doesnt appear to know anything is wrong, and reads out the only film title she can see: La La Land.

5. As the La La Land producer Mark Platt (front) gives his thank you speech, a member of the shows staff (in headset) takes back the envelopes that have been given to the La La Land producers Jordan Horowitz (holding Oscar) and Fred Berger.

6. By now, the La La Land team know they havnt won. Producer Fred Berger says: We lost. Behind him, the PricewaterhouseCoopers overseers Brian Cullinan (holding envelope) and Martha Ruiz (in red dress) are on stage, examining the envelopes. The accountancy firm have apologised and promised an investigation.

7. Horowitz holds up his hand to stop the celebrations as the La La Land crew realise they havent won. This is not a joke, he tells the audience.

8. By now Beatty has been given the right card, and Horowitz takes it out of his hand and holds it up. Moonlight is clearly the winner.

9. As the Moonlight team come forward, Beatty steps out front to explain to Kimmel and the La La Land team what happened. The card he had been given, he says, read Emma Stone. I wasnt trying to be funny.

10. Horowitz hands his Oscar to Barry Jenkins, Moonlights director.

11. Jenkins closes the show by summing up the extraordinary turn of events. Even in my dreams this could not be true. But to hell with it, Im done with dreams because this is true.
