The wind will lessen Friday night, but only a little bit.A Linn County jury on Thursday convicted Dimione Walker of first-degree murder in the April 10 fatal shooting of Michael Valentine inside the Taboo Nightclub & Lounge in downtown Cedar Rapids.Walker, who claimed self-defense, briefly looked down as the verdict was read but then started smiling and almost laughing. After the jury left the courtroom, he continued to laugh. He winked at someone in the gallery as he was being taken from the courtroom in handcuffs.Walker faces a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole. His sentencing is set for Dec. 16.Jurors found Walker, 29, of Coralville, guilty of first-degree murder, going armed with intent and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The verdict was returned in less than 90 minutes, which is the shortest deliberation in recent years for a Linn County murder.Crews pulled a retired couple from the basement onto the lawn after responding to a house fire in northeast Cedar Rapids. The couple was declared dead at the scene, according to authorities and family members.Charles Osterkamp, 72, and Sheri Osterkamp, 70, were the only occupants of the home.Their son, Mark Osterkamp, said his parents had been retired for a few years.

The plea was an Alford plea, meaning that Blahnik Church still holds he is innocent of the charges, but admits that the prosecution has enough evidence to convict him in a trial.According to a criminal complaint, Blahnik Church, along with Gregory Sills, 49, of Oelwein, followed Ethan Palmer, the drug informant, into the bathroom in their cell pod at the Linn County Jail on May 27, and began “striking” Palmer.

According to the National Weather Service, snow will likely start after 4 a.m. Tuesday morning in the Cedar Rapids area and continue throughout the day. 1 to 2 inches of snow accumulation is possible. The high will be near 36 degrees, with a low around 27 degrees.Monday was the first day of testimony and opening statements in the first-degree murder trial of Dimione Walker, 29, of Coralville, following about three days of jury selection last week. Walker is claiming self-defense in the fatal shooting of Michael Valentine, 25, of Cedar Rapids in the Taboo Nighclub & Lounge on April 10.Police testified after opening statements, and a video of the shooting was shown as part of day one testimony.The prosecution opened their arguments referencing the clips of security footage that they argued will show Walker keyed in on Valentine and opened fire – with Valentine, unarmed, attempting to block his face with his hands. They said Walker fired eight rounds, striking Valentine five times, before he fell to the floor. Sarah Hradek, Walker's lawyer, admitted that this “isn't a whodunit.” She said Walker shot Valentine but it was self-defense. She agreed with the prosecution that the jurors would see a video that shows Walker shooting Valentine, but she asked the jurors to keep in mind why this happened because the video wouldn't reveal that.The defense said they will show evidence that Valentine shot Walker in 2016, where Walker and another person were treated for injuries at a hospitalThere were 10 others also injured during the club shooting. Another man, Timothy Rush, 32, of Cedar Rapids, is charged with killing Nicole Owens, 35, and Marvin L. Cox, 31, the same night. Rush's trial is set for March 28.The state is accusing jurors of leveling “excessive” damages and being “influenced by passion or prejudice” in awarding $12.8 million last month to a Cedar Rapids contractor who helped build the 14-story Stead Family Children's Hospital.The Iowa Attorney General Office — representing the University of Iowa and the state Board of Regents — in court documents gives three reasons a Johnson County District Court judge should grant a new trial and a second chance to defend against allegations from contractor Modern Piping:They argued that the award was excessive, and appears to have been influenced by passion or prejudice; that the damages were not supported by sufficient evidence and were contrary to law; and that the university and regents were harmed by legal errors in jury instructions. The state, in its motion for a new trial, offered an alternative remedy for what it characterized as an unjust award — either vacating the award altogether or reducing it to $2.5 million.The court documents are the latest in the legal drama surrounding the Children's Hospital project, the price of which has ballooned to over $400 million due to poor management, bad luck, and legal rewards.The counting of Iowans' votes continues a week after the Nov. 8 election as state and local officials this week will conduct...

He was pronounced dead as a result of the crash.The incident is being investigated by the Cedar Rapids Police Department and the Iowa State Patrol.Defense attorneys for one of two men accused in April's fatal shooting inside the Taboo Nightclub & Lounge argued that charges should be dropped against him due to the prosecution violating his right to a speedy trial. 28-year-old Dimione Walker, of Coralville, is accused of killing Michael Valentine, 25, in the April 10 shooting at the downtown Cedar Rapids club.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Friday, May 27. Friday will start out cloudy but it will end up a pleasant, sunny day. According to the National Weather Service after gradual clearing there will be a high near 73 degrees and sunny skies in the Cedar Rapids area. Friday night it will be mostly clear with a low around 52 degrees. A March 28 trial date has been set for one of the two men accused in the April 10 shootings at the Taboo Nightclub and Lounge that killed two people and injured 10. https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/victims-of-sunday-morning-nightclub-shooting-in-cedar-rapids-identified/ (Timothy Rush, 32, )of Cedar Rapids, has pleaded not guilty to 15 charges in Linn County District Court. According to a criminal complaint, Rush is accused of fatally shooting Nicole Owens, 35, his girlfriend and mother of his 1-year-old daughter, and of shooting and seriously injuring Marvin Cox, who was shot in the head. Rush is also charged for shooting 5 other people. The other man charged in the shootings, https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/second-man-arrested-in-taboo-nightclub-and-lounge-shooting-in-cedar-rapids/ (Dimione Walker, 29), is accused of fatally shooting Michael Valentine, 25. Federal marshals arrested Walker near Chicago on April 18. He remains in jail there, pending being extradited back to Iowa. Iowa state park rangers and staff told late last year they needed to move out of state-owned housing now have until the end of 2023, according to a budget proposal passed by the Iowa Senate and House this week. Lawmakers in March https://www.thegazette.com/article/state-park-staff-would-get-eviction-reprieve-under-iowa-budget-proposal/ (granted an extension through 2024), but a budget amendment this week reduced the grace period. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources https://www.thegazette.com/state-government/iowa-dnr-tells-rangers-to-move-out-of-state-owned-houses-at-parks/ (told rangers in November) they had a year to move out of houses in 26 state parks, citing as a primary factor the nearly $1 million cost of repairing the houses, some of which were built in the 1930s.

City High parents and others have donated $1,500 so far to fix vandalism done to the school last weekend in what some have described as a senior prank gone awry. More than 500 people have signed an online petition to support Assistant Principal Scott Jespersen, who parents and students said was placed on leave following the incident. Parents who spoke with the Gazette said it is their understanding that a school administrator let some students into the building Sunday night to hang balloons and streamers, but other students came and damaged the building by spray painting walls, pouring syrup on items and cutting up historical photos, among other actions. The school district would not comment to The Gazette, saying it is a personnel matter.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Twisted Sister es un grupo estadounidense de glam metal, formado en la ciudad de Nueva York en 1973. El grupo fusiona las tácticas impactantes de Alice Cooper, el humor rebelde de la nueva ola del metal británico (NWOBHM) y el extravagante maquillaje de Kiss. El grupo tiene una imagen de Glam, aderezada con un punto deliberadamente vulgar; su sonido se podría comparar en ocasiones con otras pioneras bandas de Glam metal como Pantera en sus inicios o Ratt, el vocalista del grupo, dijo en una entrevista: "Yo no pienso que Twisted Sister es glam, porque eso implica glamour, y nosotros no somos glamorosos. Deberíamos ser llamados "Hor" ("Hid"), porque somos horrendos (hideous)".Aunque la banda fue formada por el guitarrista Jay Jay French en 1973, todas sus canciones fueron escritas por el vocalista, Dee Snider. Los éxitos del grupo incluyen "We're Not Gonna Take It" y "I Wanna Rock", ambos popularizados por la continua aparición en MTV en los años 80s. Muchas de las canciones de la banda exploran los conflictos de padres contra hijos y critican el sistema de educación.Twisted Sister nace el 14 de febrero de 1973, cuando el guitarrista Jay Jay French se unió a una banda llamada Silverstar. En aquellos días, French usaba el pseudónimo Johnny Heartbreaker. Él había tocado previamente en algunas bandas locales e hizo una prueba para Wicked Lester, el grupo que posteriormente se convirtió en Kiss. A sugerencia del vocalista de Silverstar, Michael Valentine, la banda se cambió de nombre a Twisted Sister. Valentine y el guitarrista Billy Diamond dejaron la banda pronto, por lo que French se quedó como guitarrista y también vocalista. En 1975, Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda, un amigo de colegio de French, se unió como segunda voz y segunda guitarra. Él había grabado ya antes con una banda de Nueva York llamada SPV. Kevin John Grace reemplazó a Mel "Starr" Anderson en la percusión. El bajista Kenny Neill (Kenneth Harrisson-Neill) completó la banda. La banda siguió una dirección de glam rock, influenciados por David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, Humble Pie, y New York Dolls. Tocaron en clubes locales sin mucho éxito hasta 1976. En 1976, Dee Snider se unió a la banda como vocalista y principal compositor de las canciones. Después de reemplazar al baterista, Grace, con Tony Petri, el grupo tomó una dirección más metalera, influenciados por AC/DC, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, y Alice Cooper, pero sin abandonar su imagen de glam. Aunque el glam ya no estaba de moda en aquellos tiempos, las habilidades excepcionales de Snider como líder de la banda llevaron al grupo a un considerable éxito local. Rompieron expectativas en la Región de los Tres Estados (Nueva Jersey, Nueva York y Connecticut) y su creciente número de fanes empezaron a tomar el nombre de S.M.F.F.O.T.S., de "Sick Motherfucking Friends Of Twisted Sister" (Enfermos Hijos de Puta Amigos de Twisted Sister). Más tarde lo acortaron a "S.M.F." de "Sick Mother Fuckers" (Enfermos Hijos de Puta). Ninguna discográfica estaba interesada en la banda, así que en 1979 lanzaron el sencillo "I'll Never Grow Up Now" / "Under the Blade", en su propia discográfica "Twisted Sister Records", seguido por "Bad Boys (Of Rock & Roll)" / "Lady's Boy" en 1980. El legendario Eddie Kramer produjo ambos sencillos. En este periodo, el grupo afrontó algunos cambios de miembros. El 31 de octubre de 1978, Neill se fue para convertirse en un "Cristiano re-bautizado", renegando de la actitud sacrílega e irrespetuosa hacia el cristianismo de la banda, según una entrevista con Snider. El técnico y amigo de la banda, Mark "The Animal" Mendoza, antes bajista de The Dictators, lo reemplazó. En diciembre de 1980, Petri se fue a Plasmatics y lo reemplazaron brevemente por Richie Teeter. Irónicamente, Teeter, antiguo miembro de The Dictators, fue reemplazado por "Fast" Joey Brighton, quien fue sustituido por A.J. Pero, del grupo Cities, otra banda sin discográfica pero con éxito local. Esta formación —Dee Snider, Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda, Mark Mendoza y A.J. Pero— vendría a ser considerada como la clásica del grupo. Bajo la sugerencia de dos reporteros de las revistas Sounds y Kerrang!, "Twisted Sister" dejó Nueva York para buscar discográfica en el Reino Unido. Allí, en abril de 1982, finalmente consiguieron un contrato con Secret Records, una pequeña discográfica británica dedicada principalmente a la música punk. En junio de 1982, el grupo lanzó su primer EP, Ruff Cuts, en la discográfica Secret Records. Fue seguido pronto por su primer LP, Under the Blade, producido por Pete Way de UFO. A pesar de la baja calidad de producción, el álbum fue un éxito underground sorpresa en el Reino Unido, dándole a la banda suficiente reconocimiento para abrir para bandas de metal como Motörhead. El álbum tenía un sonido crudo de metal e incluía "Tear It Loose", una canción metalera muy rápida, ofreciendo un solo de guitarra por "Fast" Eddie Clarke de Motörhead. Otro sencillo, el futuro éxito "We're Not Gonna Take It", fue planeado para su lanzamiento, pero Secret Records quebró antes que Snider fuera capaz de completar la letra.Durante este tiempo, "Twisted Sister" cambió su imagen andrógina y glamorosa por un look más grotesco y agresivo, que los distinguía de las demás bandas de glam metal de la época. El grupo ahora se veía más como metaleros con un look extraño por su imagen y música; aunque tenían todavía sus estilos pop/glam, estaban acercándose más a la imagen de heavy metal con cuero y cadenas. Después de su aparición en el programa televisivo de música "The Tube", la discográfica Atlantic Records habló con la banda y firmaron con ellos. Irónicamente, Atlantic fue una de las compañías que rechazó a Twisted Sister en el pasado período de sus Dias de Club. Su segundo LP (el primero con Atlantic), You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll, producido por Stuart Epps, fue lanzado en 1983 e incluía el éxito #19 de Reino Unido "I Am (I'm Me)". Desde el punto de vista de la producción, el álbum sonaba mejor que su predecesor, y cada pedazo era igualmente heavy. Debido al éxito del disco, la compañía decidió promocionar a la banda en mayor medida. Fue hecho el vídeo de la canción "You Can't Stop Rock'n'Roll", el cual se convirtió en el primero de la serie de vídeos cómicos que popularizó la banda. Twisted Sister consiguió la fama internacional cuando su tercer LP Stay Hungry, el cual llegó a las tiendas en 1984. El álbum tenía un sonido más comercial que los primeros dos, pero aún contenía canciones con sonido heavy, como la que da título al disco o "Burn in Hell". Durante un muy exitoso tour, unos jovencísimos Metallica telonearon a la banda. Stay Hungry vendió alrededor de 2 millones de copias en el verano de 1985, y acabó vendiendo 3 millones en los siguientes años. Se mantiene como el mayor éxito del grupo y es considerado un clásico para los fanes del heavy metal de los 80s. Los vídeos de los sencillos "I Wanna Rock" y "We're Not Gonna Take it" (número #21 en las listas de USA) se emitían casi constantemente en MTV. Su prevalente comedia tipo slapstick fue un cambio en el ritmo del género que daba a la banda una distinción. La comedia cinematográfica La gran aventura de Pee-Wee llevó esto a otro nivel con la aparición de la banda haciendo un vídeo ficticio para "Burn in Hell" en el estacionamiento de Warner Bros., sólo para ser interrumpido por Pee-wee Herman. A pesar de ser de naturaleza cómica, los vídeos mostraban violencia contra padres y maestros, lo que provocó grandes críticas por parte de organizaciones conservadoras. Fueron señalados por la PMRC en 1985. Las canciones de Twisted Sister "Under the Blade" y "We're Not Gonna Take It" fueron mencionadas específicamente en las convocatorias del Senado. Snider fue uno de los pocos músicos que atestiguaron ante un comité del Senado en estas convocatorias del 19 de septiembre de 1985 (el director del comité se dirigió formalmente a él como "Mister Sister").El 9 de noviembre de 1985, la banda lanzó su cuarto LP, Come Out and Play, producido por Dieter Dierks. No estuvo cerca del éxito de su predecesor, aunque sí consiguió un disco de oro por ventas de más de 500,000 copias. El fracaso fue en parte porque MTV prohibió el video de "Be Cruel To Your School", porque supuestamente era ofensivo. Si no hubiera sido prohibido, es posible que la popularidad y credibilidad de Twisted Sister hubiera aumentado. La canción y el vídeo incluían a invitados como Alice Cooper, Brian Setzer y Billy Joel. El tour para promocionar el álbum fue casi un fiasco, con poca asistencia y muchas fechas canceladas. Ni siquiera el relanzamiento del remix de Under the Blade ayudó a que la banda recuperara popularidad. Come Out and Play fue uno de los primeros CD en dejar de ser impresos. Otro corte de difusión del álbum fue "Leader Of The Pack", una versión de los años 70. En 1987, Snider se embarcó en un proyecto como solista, aparentemente acercándose al futuro guitarrista de Iron Maiden, Janick Gers, pero no resultó. Entonces grabó un álbum con Joe Franco programando la caja de ritmos y la aparición de varios músicos libres como el guitarrista Reb Beach, Kip Winger (antes de que formara Winger) y Steve Whiteman de Kix. Atlantic Records se rehusó a lanzar el disco a menos que fuera lanzado como un álbum de Twisted Sister. Así que el 13 de agosto de 1987 Love Is for Suckers hizo su debut. Aunque la banda no tocó en las sesiones grabadas, fueron mencionados en el álbum como sí lo hubieran hecho y tocaron algunas de las canciones en shows subsecuentes. La producción de Beau Hill le dio al álbum un sonido muy pulido de pop metal. La banda también dejó de usar el maquillaje que habían utilizado desde sus comienzos. El álbum fue un fracaso comercial y muchos de los fanáticos de la banda estaban decepcionados por lo muy pop que se escuchaba. El 12 de octubre de 1987, casi dos meses después del lanzamiento de Love Is For Suckers, Snider dejó la banda, la disquera canceló su contrato y Twisted Sister se separó. La noticia de la separación de la banda se conoció a principios de 1988.Después de la separación de la banda, los miembros se embarcaron en varios proyectos: Dee Snider formó las bandas Desperado, Widowmaker y SMFs. También escribió, dirigió y actuó en la película Strangeland, una secuela; Strangeland 2, está planeada. Eddie Ojeda formó su grupo Scarecrow y luego Prisoners of War. Ninguno de los proyectos tuvo éxito. También trabajó como guitarrista de sesiones e instructor de guitarra. Jay Jay French dejó de tocar excepto en algunas apariciones como invitado. Formó French Management y manejó al grupo de metal alternativo, Sevendust. Mark Mendoza se unió brevemente a Blackfoot. Después trabajó como productor y mánager. Ocasionalmente buscó proyectos como solista también. A.J. Pero estuvo relacionado con varios proyectos y después participó en el tour de la banda de Snider, SMFs. Joey Franco trabajó como baterista de sesión y tocó con la banda de Snider, Widowmaker. En 1992, Atlantic Records lanzó una recopilación con "lo mejor" de la banda, titulada Big Hits and Nasty Cuts, que también incluía algunas actuaciones en vivo del periodo de Under The Blade. Un álbum en vivo de la era de Stay Hungry llamado Live At Hammersmith fue lanzado en 1994 por CMC International. En 1998, la banda grabó una canción para la banda sonora de la película de Snider, Strangeland. En 1999, Spitfire Records re-lanzó su catálogo, suplementado con previamente no lanzados. Después vino Club Daze Volume 1: The Studio Sessions, un álbum que contiene demos de grabaciones de la era antes deUnder the Blade y Club Daze Volume 2: Live In The Bars, un complemento en vivo. En 2001, Koch Records lanzó un álbum tributo titulado "Twisted Forever|Twisted Forever - A Tribute To The Legendary Twisted Sister". El álbum incluye un amplio rango de artistas y bandas que han sido influenciados por Twisted Sister, incluyendo Lit, Motörhead, Chuck D, Anthrax, Overkill, Cradle Of Filth, Joan Jett, Sebastian Bach, and Hammerfall. Extrañamente para un tributo, Twisted Sister también aparece en el álbum, con una versión de la canción "Sin City" de AC/DC. En noviembre de 2001, la banda reunida de Twisted Sister se unió a metaleros de Nueva York como Anthrax, Overkill, Sebastian Bach, y Ace Frehley para llevar a cabo un concierto en beneficio de la Fundación de Viudas y Huérfanos del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York y el Departamento de Bomberos de Nueva York a causa de los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001. NY Steel recaudó más de $100.000 para la caridad y la reacción a la primera presentación de Twisted Sister en 14 años fue sorprendente. La demanda de más presentaciones en vivo fue inmediata y la banda tomó los primeros pasos para regresar al escenario. En 2002 fue lanzada una recopilación remasterizada titulada Essentials. Los fanes generalmente consideran que esta recopilación es mejor que la anteriormente lanzada por Atlantic. "Twisted Sister", esta vez incluyendo a Mark Mendoza, se reunió de nuevo para el Sweden Rock Festival en junio de 2003. También aparecieron en agosto del mismo año para el festival Wacken Open Air. Imágenes del show fueron filmadas para un DVD.En marzo de 2004 entraron al estudio para volver a grabar completamente su álbum Stay Hungry para el sello Demolition Records. Dijeron no estar felices con la producción original del álbum, así que esta vez lo produjeron ellos mismos. La nueva grabación fue lanzada con el nombre de Still Hungry y contiene 7 canciones adicionales. En julio de 2005, el grupo tocó un concierto gratis en Edmonton para el festival Klondike Days. A finales de 2005, Snider apareció en Numbers from The Beast, un álbum tributo a Iron Maiden, cantando el clásico "Wasted Years". Snider fue acompañado por sus contemporáneos y amigos George Lynch, de Dokken, y Bob Kulick. También en 2005, la banda lanzó la grabación de su show en el festival alemán de Wacken de 2003 en CD y DVD titulado Live at Wacken, y se fueron de tour con Alice Cooper, sirviendo como la banda de apoyo, pero actuando casi como la principal. Twisted Sister en un concierto en Mánchester en el 2006. En 2006, Snider y French trabajaron con Lordi para producir y tocar unas canciones nuevas en su álbum The Arockalypse. Snider fue incluido en la primera canción, "SCG3 Special Report", como la voz de Lordi anunciando que se acerca el Arockalypse. French aparece como invitado en la canción "Chainsaw Buffet". En junio de 2006, la banda anunció que habían firmado un contrato con la discográfica estadounidense Razor & Tie para lanzar un último CD. La fecha planeada para el lanzamiento es el 16 de octubre de 2006 (declaración de Snider en un concierto en la ciudad de Quebec en Canadá, el 8 de julio de 2006, frente a 80.000 personas. El show también incluía a los Scorpions como cabeza de cartel). También presentaron un pequeño concierto en el Wolverhampton Civic Center. El concierto fue un éxito, con el apoyo de muchos fanes al igual que durante el auge del grupo. La banda sigue junta y ocasionalmente hacen pequeños tours por todo el mundo, con todo el maquillaje. Antes de cada tour se presentan como Bent Brother, practicando su presentación y sin maquillaje, usualmente a un precio menor, aunque tanto Snider como French han declarado que no les gusta tocar canciones de "Twisted Sister" bajo el nombre de "Bent Brother". De hecho en 2008 tocaron en Zaragoza, y Dee Snider salió con maquillaje y en su presentación dijo estas palabras, "We are the fucked Twisted Sister". El 23 de julio de 2016, "Twisted Sister" continúa con su gira de despedida en los escenarios mundiales con la gira "Forty and F*ck it". En el festival Hell and Heaven Metal Fest celebrado en el Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez en la Ciudad de México uno de los motivos que el vocalista reveló fue que muchos de los grandes músicos de su época están falleciendo, brindándoles un emotivo homenaje con "The price". En una de sus melodías icónicas , como lo han hecho en otros países hispano parlantes, destacó la adaptación del coro "we are not gonna take it" a su coro "huevos con aceite"; así también fue una interesante añadidura, la presencia de Mike Portnoy en la batería, durante su última presentación en la Ciudad de México. Su última presentación se llevó a cabo el 12 de noviembre del 2016 en la primera edición del festival de rock y heavy metal Corona NorthSide en la ciudad de Monterrey.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Wednesday, April 27. Wednesday will begin with what should be the last round of frost for the week before becoming another crisp day, with warmer weather and rain on the horizon. According to the National Weather Service, the frost will melt early in the Cedar Rapids area and the high will creep up to 54 degrees during the day. It will become increasingly cloudy and windy as the day moves on, with wind gusts of up to 20 mph increasing to 30 mph Wednesday night. Over $17,000 in donations and gifts meant for University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics patients — largely for those diagnosed with cancer — and families were unaccounted for, improperly used, unsupported or missing, the state auditor said in a report released Tuesday. Questions around former administrative specialist Anna Maria Hernandez's handling of donations, gift cards and purchases prompted hospital officials to call on the auditor to investigate the UIHC Care Coordination Division in February 2021 Hernandez, 41, of Iowa City, had been the division's administrative services specialist since July 1, 2018, but assumed many titles since starting there in 2006. An investigation into $1,350 in missing gift cards eventually led to administrators calling university police, and Hernandez was put on paid leave in November of 2020. She resigned that month, and the state launched an audit into the possible misuse of funds from 2012 to the end of 2020. One month after Hernandez resigned her position at UIHC, she was arrested on suspicion of misappropriating nearly $75,000 from the Fox Hallow Condominium Owner's Association, for which she was the lone board member. According to a police report, she withdrew cash, wrote checks to herself, made wire transfers and linked her Venmo, CashApp, and PayPal accounts to the association's bank account. More charges will be filed against a man accused of murder in a shooting at a Cedar Rapids nightclub, police said Tuesday. Timothy Rush, 32, is one of two suspects who have been arrested in relation to the shooting, which happened at Taboo nightclub on April 10. Rush originally received several charges in the shooting death of Nicole Owens, who was his girlfriend and the mother of his 1-year-old child. On Tuesday police charged him in connection with 5 of the 10 people who were injured during the shooting. One of these men who was injured, Marvin Cox, is still in the hospital in serious condition after being shot in the head. Another man was arrested near Chicago on April 18 in relation to the shooting. Dimione Walker, 29, was arrested by federal marshals and is being held in jail in Illinois until he can be extradited back to Iowa. He is being accused in the death of Michael Valentine. Iowa will become just the fourth state with 16 weeks or fewer of state unemployment benefits under legislation that needs only Gov. Kim Reynolds' signature to become law. The reduction in state unemployment benefits from 26 weeks to 16 was approved Tuesday by majority Republicans in the Iowa Legislature. Reynolds made a similar proposal earlier this year, and is likely to sign it into law. “I just think we need to be doing everything we can to encourage people to stay in the workforce and to stay in the game,” Reynolds said Tuesday. “ The legislation also changes the requirements for receiving unemployment payments while looking for work. Before the change, unemployed Iowans had six weeks that they could turn down jobs that paid less than their previous position while still receiving unemployment payments. With the new change, the job applicant would have to accept a job at 90 percent of their former pay at week 1, with this dropping 60 percent of their former pay by week 8. This is intended to pressure unemployed workers to either accept lesser paying jobs or to be cut off from unemployment payments. The bill passed on Tuesday with

It will become increasingly cloudy during the day, Tuesday, with rain arriving Tuesday night. According to the National Weather Service there will be a high near 52 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. The chance for rain will mostly be in the overnight hours as Tuesday becomes Wednesday, the low will be around 40 degrees. A man wanted for murder shortly after the attack at a downtown nightclub this month was tracked down by federal marshals to a Chicago suburb and was arrested Monday. He is the second man detained in the shooting that killed two and injured 10. Dimione Jamal Walker, 29, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in Matteson, Ill. He faces charges in Linn County of first-degree murder, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, going armed with intent and felon in possession of a firearm. He was also wanted by the Illinois Department of Corrections on a charge of parole violation — possession of a weapon. The other suspect in the case, Timothy L. Rush, 32, is in jail on charges that include a second-degree murder charge that he killed Nicole Owens, 35. Michael Valentine, 25, also was killed in the attack. Authorities would not confirm if they believe Walker is responsible for that murder, and would not further explain why he faces a first-degree murder charge while the other suspected gunman faces a second-degree murder charge. Save CR Heritage, a nonprofit group dedicated to preserving historic properties, launched a petition drive this month for the closure of Garfield Elementary School to be put on a Cedar Rapids school board meeting agenda. Under a new Iowa law, residents can bring an agenda item to a school board with signatures of 500 district voters. If enough signatures are gathered by the end of the month, the closure would be placed on the May 9 school board meeting agenda. As part of a new school district facilities plan Arthur and Garfield Elementaries are set to be closed to make way for a new elementary school. Both buildings were opened in 1915, and while the buildings will not be demolished, there are no plans for how they will be repurposed. This is why the heritage organization's members want to get on the agenda so the public's views on future plans can be addressed. Starting this week, masks now are optional for most patients, visitors and fully vaccinated staff members at UnityPoint Health hospitals in Eastern Iowa. Health system officials announced a revision of mask policies at hospitals and associated clinics at UnityPoint Health-St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, UnityPoint Health-Allen Hospital in Waterloo and UnityPoint Health-Finley Hospital in Dubuque. However, masks still are recommended for those who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19, are immunocompromised or otherwise desire to wear a mask. People who have tested positive for COVID are also recommended to mask. Revision to masking policies is based on community transmission levels of COVID-19, officials said in their announcement Monday. Currently, all three hospitals are in areas with low virus transmission. Support for this news update was provided by New Pioneer Food Co-op.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abby Finkenauer of Cedar Rapids qualifies for the primary ballot, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday — rejecting a lower court decision and allowing her to continue her campaign for the nomination and chance to face Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley. The court's unanimous decision leaves Finkenauer as the likely front-runner in a race with two lesser-known candidates ahead of Iowa's June 7 primary. The winner will run against Grassley, seeking an eighth term, provided he wins a GOP primary against state Sen. Jim Carlin as widely expected. The high court rejected a lower court's ruling that found that Finkenauer failed to meet a state law that requires candidates to submit at least 100 signatures from at least 19 counties to qualify for the ballot. The justices agreed that a Polk County judge was wrong when he ruled that three signatures from two counties were invalid, leaving Finkenauer without enough signatures. The ruling noted that under the current laws missing or incorrect dates are not one of the current valid reasons for sustaining an objection to petitions. A Cedar Rapids man was arrested Thursday after he allegedly drove at and struck a construction worker during a confrontation over a roadway closure. Bruce Marlon Schutte, 66, faces charges of willful injury causing bodily injury, assault while displaying a dangerous weapon and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident. According to a criminal complaint, Schutte approached a road closed sign in the 2300 block of 18th Street SW in Cedar Rapids Thursday and tried to move it out of the way. He was confronted by construction workers, who he told to move or he would run them over. Schutte allegedly got back in his car and accelerated toward a worker who had asked him to go a different direction. He hit the worker and sent him onto the hood of his car, injuring the worker's left knee, hip and elbow. Schutte then left the scene.

Police have not said who they think killed Valentine and have said they believe a second gunman was involved. But they have not announced any new arrests in the case. In the 2012 case, Rush, who was intoxicated, lead officers on a foot chase before being caught. He originally was charged with possession of an offensive weapon, interference with official acts and public intoxication. But he later pleaded guilty to only possession of an offensive weapon. He was sentenced to three years of probation, court records show.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Wednesday, April 13. Rain is likely on Wednesday as storms move through the state. According to the National Weather Service after the storm system moves through Wednesday morning there will still be some chances for scattered storms and thunderstorms before 1 p.m. in the Cedar Rapids area. Then there will still be a chance for rain in the afternoon ibut the severity should be less severe. The overall chance for precipitation is listed at 70 percent. The temperatures will also cool into the low 50s, which is where they look to be staying until the middle of next week. Standing inside a distilled grain storage facility at a Central Iowa biofuels processing plant Tuesday, President Joe Biden repeated a pledge his administration announced earlier in the day: They plan to make the higher E15 blend of ethanol available for sale during the upcoming summer months. “I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here,” Biden said to a few dozen invited guests at the event, as distilled grain poured into the facility beside him. The event, which marked Biden's first visit to Iowa since his election in 2020, was held on the grounds of one of 12 facilities in Iowa operated by POET, a biofuels processing company based just across the state's northwest border in Sioux Falls, S.D. The most common ethanol blend sold at gas stations is E10, and not all Iowa gas stations offer E15. Under current federal law, the higher-blend E15 cannot be sold during the summer driving period, defined as June 1 through Sept. 15, because of concerns it adds to smog when the weather gets hot. The Biden administration announced Tuesday that its Environmental Protection Agency will issue an emergency action that will make the E15 blend available through this summer. The action will cite the strain on the nation's fuel supply caused by the Russian military's invasion of Ukraine. A man suspected of killing Nicole Owens, 35, https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/2-dead-10-hurt-in-shooting-at-cedar-rapids-nightclub/ (in the early Sunday shooting in a downtown nightclub) is the father of a baby they had in 2021, records show, and he wrote in a court document that he had once worked at the club. Timothy Ladell Rush, 32, faces charges of second-degree murder and a handful of other serious charges. Police arrested him Monday and he had his initial appearance in court Tuesday morning. Owens and Rush are the parents of a girl born in early 2021 in Cedar Rapids, Linn County birth records show. A criminal complaint released Tuesday against Rush does not address who police believe shot and killed a second fatal victim in the attack https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/2-dead-10-hurt-in-shooting-at-cedar-rapids-nightclub/ (at the Taboo Nightclub and Lounge), 415 Third St. SE., that also injured 10 others. Police said that Michael Valentine, 25, was also killed. Police Chief Wayne Jerman told reporters Sunday investigators believe two gunmen were involved and described the attack as targeted. The panel reviewing Cedar Rapids' charter, the document that outlines the scope and duties of city government, will extend the timeline for its once-a-decade review. Initially slated to wrap up work no later than May 1, the Cedar Rapids City Council on Tuesday granted the nine-member Charter Review Commission until June 30 to complete its review and extended the members' terms at the commission's request. So far, the commission has not recommended major shake-ups to the makeup of council or to the city's council-manager form of government, which voters adopted when they approved a “home rule” charter in 2005.

Enjoy your warm, dry weather during the day on Tuesday, because rain looks to be coming Tuesday night and Wednesday, and cold will be making a brief return after that. According to the National Weather Service it will be partly sunny in the Cedar Rapids area with a high near 67 degrees. It will be breezy, with a wind of 10-15 mph increasing to 15-20 mph in the afternoon. Wind gusts could reach 35 mph. The chance for rain will start scaling up after 4 p.m., with rain and potentially thunderstorms becoming more likely after midnight and heading into Wednesday. There were several developments Monday in the aftermath of Sunday's shooting at a Cedar Rapids nightclub that killed two and injured 10 others. A suspect in a shooting early Sunday outside Taboo Nightclub and Lounge in Cedar Rapids was arrested Monday on a second-degree murder charge and other counts. Police announced that Timothy Ladell Rush, 32, faces charges of second-degree murder, willful injury, intimidation with a dangerous weapon, reckless use of a firearm and possession of a firearm as a felon. Rush was taken to the Linn County Jail, where he was held for now without bail. A criminal complaint outlining details of the charges was not available Monday evening. Police still have not provided a motive for what they are calling a targeted shooting. They also have stated they believe two gunmen were involved in the shooting. Police did identify the two victims of the shooting, both Cedar Rapids residents who had been at the club to celebrate a friend's birthday party. Police identified victims of the double homicide as Michael Valentine, 25, and Nicole Owens, 35. Cedar Rapids Democrat Abby Finkenauer is appealing a decision by an Iowa district court judge to throw her off the June 7 primary election ballot for a U.S. Senate seat. “After careful review, I have decided to challenge this deeply partisan decision to the Iowa Supreme Court,” Finkenauer, a former member of the U.S. House, said in a statement Monday. Finkenauer will ask the court to reverse a ruling issued Sunday night by Polk County District Court Judge Scott Beattie that she did not submit enough signatures on nomination petitions to qualify for the Democratic primary to determine the party's U.S. Senate nominee in the November general election. His decision overruled the State Objections Panel that rejected challenges to Finkenauer's campaign raised by GOP activists. The panel decided Finkenauer had met the ballot requirement to acquire at least 3,500 signatures, including at least 100 signatures each in at least 19 counties. Even if Finkenauer is able to get back on the ballot she faces a steep challenge, having to first win the Democratic primary before taking on forever incumbent Senator Chuck Grassley. The Linn County Board of Supervisors will meet Wednesday to decide where $11 million of its total $44 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding will go. During Wednesday's formal meeting, supervisors will decide which of around 120 projects from over 90 groups to fund with this first allocation of ARPA dollars. The county has already allocated $11 million to itself for lost revenue and administrative costs, a category allowed under the ARPA rules.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Twisted Sister es un grupo estadounidense de glam metal, formado en la ciudad de Nueva York en 1973. El grupo fusiona las tácticas impactantes de Alice Cooper, el humor rebelde de la nueva ola del metal británico (NWOBHM) y el extravagante maquillaje de Kiss. El grupo tiene una imagen de Glam, aderezada con un punto deliberadamente vulgar; su sonido se podría comparar en ocasiones con otras pioneras bandas de Glam metal como Pantera en sus inicios o Ratt, el vocalista del grupo, dijo en una entrevista: "Yo no pienso que Twisted Sister es glam, porque eso implica glamour, y nosotros no somos glamorosos. Deberíamos ser llamados "Hor" ("Hid"), porque somos horrendos (hideous)".Aunque la banda fue formada por el guitarrista Jay Jay French en 1973, todas sus canciones fueron escritas por el vocalista, Dee Snider. Los éxitos del grupo incluyen "We're Not Gonna Take It" y "I Wanna Rock", ambos popularizados por la continua aparición en MTV en los años 80s. Muchas de las canciones de la banda exploran los conflictos de padres contra hijos y critican el sistema de educación.Twisted Sister nace el 14 de febrero de 1973, cuando el guitarrista Jay Jay French se unió a una banda llamada Silverstar. En aquellos días, French usaba el pseudónimo Johnny Heartbreaker. Él había tocado previamente en algunas bandas locales e hizo una prueba para Wicked Lester, el grupo que posteriormente se convirtió en Kiss. A sugerencia del vocalista de Silverstar, Michael Valentine, la banda se cambió de nombre a Twisted Sister. Valentine y el guitarrista Billy Diamond dejaron la banda pronto, por lo que French se quedó como guitarrista y también vocalista. En 1975, Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda, un amigo de colegio de French, se unió como segunda voz y segunda guitarra. Él había grabado ya antes con una banda de Nueva York llamada SPV. Kevin John Grace reemplazó a Mel "Starr" Anderson en la percusión. El bajista Kenny Neill (Kenneth Harrisson-Neill) completó la banda. La banda siguió una dirección de glam rock, influenciados por David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, Humble Pie, y New York Dolls. Tocaron en clubes locales sin mucho éxito hasta 1976. En 1976, Dee Snider se unió a la banda como vocalista y principal compositor de las canciones. Después de reemplazar al baterista, Grace, con Tony Petri, el grupo tomó una dirección más metalera, influenciados por AC/DC, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, y Alice Cooper, pero sin abandonar su imagen de glam. Aunque el glam ya no estaba de moda en aquellos tiempos, las habilidades excepcionales de Snider como líder de la banda llevaron al grupo a un considerable éxito local. Rompieron expectativas en la Región de los Tres Estados (Nueva Jersey, Nueva York y Connecticut) y su creciente número de fanes empezaron a tomar el nombre de S.M.F.F.O.T.S., de "Sick Motherfucking Friends Of Twisted Sister" (Enfermos Hijos de Puta Amigos de Twisted Sister). Más tarde lo acortaron a "S.M.F." de "Sick Mother Fuckers" (Enfermos Hijos de Puta). Ninguna discográfica estaba interesada en la banda, así que en 1979 lanzaron el sencillo "I'll Never Grow Up Now" / "Under the Blade", en su propia discográfica "Twisted Sister Records", seguido por "Bad Boys (Of Rock & Roll)" / "Lady's Boy" en 1980. El legendario Eddie Kramer produjo ambos sencillos. En este periodo, el grupo afrontó algunos cambios de miembros. El 31 de octubre de 1978, Neill se fue para convertirse en un "Cristiano re-bautizado", renegando de la actitud sacrílega e irrespetuosa hacia el cristianismo de la banda, según una entrevista con Snider. El técnico y amigo de la banda, Mark "The Animal" Mendoza, antes bajista de The Dictators, lo reemplazó. En diciembre de 1980, Petri se fue a Plasmatics y lo reemplazaron brevemente por Richie Teeter. Irónicamente, Teeter, antiguo miembro de The Dictators, fue reemplazado por "Fast" Joey Brighton, quien fue sustituido por A.J. Pero, del grupo Cities, otra banda sin discográfica pero con éxito local. Esta formación —Dee Snider, Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda, Mark Mendoza y A.J. Pero— vendría a ser considerada como la clásica del grupo. Bajo la sugerencia de dos reporteros de las revistas Sounds y Kerrang!, "Twisted Sister" dejó Nueva York para buscar discográfica en el Reino Unido. Allí, en abril de 1982, finalmente consiguieron un contrato con Secret Records, una pequeña discográfica británica dedicada principalmente a la música punk. En junio de 1982, el grupo lanzó su primer EP, Ruff Cuts, en la discográfica Secret Records. Fue seguido pronto por su primer LP, Under the Blade, producido por Pete Way de UFO. A pesar de la baja calidad de producción, el álbum fue un éxito underground sorpresa en el Reino Unido, dándole a la banda suficiente reconocimiento para abrir para bandas de metal como Motörhead. El álbum tenía un sonido crudo de metal e incluía "Tear It Loose", una canción metalera muy rápida, ofreciendo un solo de guitarra por "Fast" Eddie Clarke de Motörhead. Otro sencillo, el futuro éxito "We're Not Gonna Take It", fue planeado para su lanzamiento, pero Secret Records quebró antes que Snider fuera capaz de completar la letra.Durante este tiempo, "Twisted Sister" cambió su imagen andrógina y glamorosa por un look más grotesco y agresivo, que los distinguía de las demás bandas de glam metal de la época. El grupo ahora se veía más como metaleros con un look extraño por su imagen y música; aunque tenían todavía sus estilos pop/glam, estaban acercándose más a la imagen de heavy metal con cuero y cadenas. Después de su aparición en el programa televisivo de música "The Tube", la discográfica Atlantic Records habló con la banda y firmaron con ellos. Irónicamente, Atlantic fue una de las compañías que rechazó a Twisted Sister en el pasado período de sus Dias de Club. Su segundo LP (el primero con Atlantic), You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll, producido por Stuart Epps, fue lanzado en 1983 e incluía el éxito #19 de Reino Unido "I Am (I'm Me)". Desde el punto de vista de la producción, el álbum sonaba mejor que su predecesor, y cada pedazo era igualmente heavy. Debido al éxito del disco, la compañía decidió promocionar a la banda en mayor medida. Fue hecho el vídeo de la canción "You Can't Stop Rock'n'Roll", el cual se convirtió en el primero de la serie de vídeos cómicos que popularizó la banda. Twisted Sister consiguió la fama internacional cuando su tercer LP Stay Hungry, el cual llegó a las tiendas en 1984. El álbum tenía un sonido más comercial que los primeros dos, pero aún contenía canciones con sonido heavy, como la que da título al disco o "Burn in Hell". Durante un muy exitoso tour, unos jovencísimos Metallica telonearon a la banda. Stay Hungry vendió alrededor de 2 millones de copias en el verano de 1985, y acabó vendiendo 3 millones en los siguientes años. Se mantiene como el mayor éxito del grupo y es considerado un clásico para los fanes del heavy metal de los 80s. Los vídeos de los sencillos "I Wanna Rock" y "We're Not Gonna Take it" (número #21 en las listas de USA) se emitían casi constantemente en MTV. Su prevalente comedia tipo slapstick fue un cambio en el ritmo del género que daba a la banda una distinción. La comedia cinematográfica La gran aventura de Pee-Wee llevó esto a otro nivel con la aparición de la banda haciendo un vídeo ficticio para "Burn in Hell" en el estacionamiento de Warner Bros., sólo para ser interrumpido por Pee-wee Herman. A pesar de ser de naturaleza cómica, los vídeos mostraban violencia contra padres y maestros, lo que provocó grandes críticas por parte de organizaciones conservadoras. Fueron señalados por la PMRC en 1985. Las canciones de Twisted Sister "Under the Blade" y "We're Not Gonna Take It" fueron mencionadas específicamente en las convocatorias del Senado. Snider fue uno de los pocos músicos que atestiguaron ante un comité del Senado en estas convocatorias del 19 de septiembre de 1985 (el director del comité se dirigió formalmente a él como "Mister Sister").El 9 de noviembre de 1985, la banda lanzó su cuarto LP, Come Out and Play, producido por Dieter Dierks. No estuvo cerca del éxito de su predecesor, aunque sí consiguió un disco de oro por ventas de más de 500,000 copias. El fracaso fue en parte porque MTV prohibió el video de "Be Cruel To Your School", porque supuestamente era ofensivo. Si no hubiera sido prohibido, es posible que la popularidad y credibilidad de Twisted Sister hubiera aumentado. La canción y el vídeo incluían a invitados como Alice Cooper, Brian Setzer y Billy Joel. El tour para promocionar el álbum fue casi un fiasco, con poca asistencia y muchas fechas canceladas. Ni siquiera el relanzamiento del remix de Under the Blade ayudó a que la banda recuperara popularidad. Come Out and Play fue uno de los primeros CD en dejar de ser impresos. Otro corte de difusión del álbum fue "Leader Of The Pack", una versión de los años 70. En 1987, Snider se embarcó en un proyecto como solista, aparentemente acercándose al futuro guitarrista de Iron Maiden, Janick Gers, pero no resultó. Entonces grabó un álbum con Joe Franco programando la caja de ritmos y la aparición de varios músicos libres como el guitarrista Reb Beach, Kip Winger (antes de que formara Winger) y Steve Whiteman de Kix. Atlantic Records se rehusó a lanzar el disco a menos que fuera lanzado como un álbum de Twisted Sister. Así que el 13 de agosto de 1987 Love Is for Suckers hizo su debut. Aunque la banda no tocó en las sesiones grabadas, fueron mencionados en el álbum como sí lo hubieran hecho y tocaron algunas de las canciones en shows subsecuentes. La producción de Beau Hill le dio al álbum un sonido muy pulido de pop metal. La banda también dejó de usar el maquillaje que habían utilizado desde sus comienzos. El álbum fue un fracaso comercial y muchos de los fanáticos de la banda estaban decepcionados por lo muy pop que se escuchaba. El 12 de octubre de 1987, casi dos meses después del lanzamiento de Love Is For Suckers, Snider dejó la banda, la disquera canceló su contrato y Twisted Sister se separó. La noticia de la separación de la banda se conoció a principios de 1988.Después de la separación de la banda, los miembros se embarcaron en varios proyectos: Dee Snider formó las bandas Desperado, Widowmaker y SMFs. También escribió, dirigió y actuó en la película Strangeland, una secuela; Strangeland 2, está planeada. Eddie Ojeda formó su grupo Scarecrow y luego Prisoners of War. Ninguno de los proyectos tuvo éxito. También trabajó como guitarrista de sesiones e instructor de guitarra. Jay Jay French dejó de tocar excepto en algunas apariciones como invitado. Formó French Management y manejó al grupo de metal alternativo, Sevendust. Mark Mendoza se unió brevemente a Blackfoot. Después trabajó como productor y mánager. Ocasionalmente buscó proyectos como solista también. A.J. Pero estuvo relacionado con varios proyectos y después participó en el tour de la banda de Snider, SMFs. Joey Franco trabajó como baterista de sesión y tocó con la banda de Snider, Widowmaker. En 1992, Atlantic Records lanzó una recopilación con "lo mejor" de la banda, titulada Big Hits and Nasty Cuts, que también incluía algunas actuaciones en vivo del periodo de Under The Blade. Un álbum en vivo de la era de Stay Hungry llamado Live At Hammersmith fue lanzado en 1994 por CMC International. En 1998, la banda grabó una canción para la banda sonora de la película de Snider, Strangeland. En 1999, Spitfire Records re-lanzó su catálogo, suplementado con previamente no lanzados. Después vino Club Daze Volume 1: The Studio Sessions, un álbum que contiene demos de grabaciones de la era antes deUnder the Blade y Club Daze Volume 2: Live In The Bars, un complemento en vivo. En 2001, Koch Records lanzó un álbum tributo titulado "Twisted Forever|Twisted Forever - A Tribute To The Legendary Twisted Sister". El álbum incluye un amplio rango de artistas y bandas que han sido influenciados por Twisted Sister, incluyendo Lit, Motörhead, Chuck D, Anthrax, Overkill, Cradle Of Filth, Joan Jett, Sebastian Bach, and Hammerfall. Extrañamente para un tributo, Twisted Sister también aparece en el álbum, con una versión de la canción "Sin City" de AC/DC. En noviembre de 2001, la banda reunida de Twisted Sister se unió a metaleros de Nueva York como Anthrax, Overkill, Sebastian Bach, y Ace Frehley para llevar a cabo un concierto en beneficio de la Fundación de Viudas y Huérfanos del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York y el Departamento de Bomberos de Nueva York a causa de los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001. NY Steel recaudó más de $100.000 para la caridad y la reacción a la primera presentación de Twisted Sister en 14 años fue sorprendente. La demanda de más presentaciones en vivo fue inmediata y la banda tomó los primeros pasos para regresar al escenario. En 2002 fue lanzada una recopilación remasterizada titulada Essentials. Los fanes generalmente consideran que esta recopilación es mejor que la anteriormente lanzada por Atlantic. "Twisted Sister", esta vez incluyendo a Mark Mendoza, se reunió de nuevo para el Sweden Rock Festival en junio de 2003. También aparecieron en agosto del mismo año para el festival Wacken Open Air. Imágenes del show fueron filmadas para un DVD.En marzo de 2004 entraron al estudio para volver a grabar completamente su álbum Stay Hungry para el sello Demolition Records. Dijeron no estar felices con la producción original del álbum, así que esta vez lo produjeron ellos mismos. La nueva grabación fue lanzada con el nombre de Still Hungry y contiene 7 canciones adicionales. En julio de 2005, el grupo tocó un concierto gratis en Edmonton para el festival Klondike Days. A finales de 2005, Snider apareció en Numbers from The Beast, un álbum tributo a Iron Maiden, cantando el clásico "Wasted Years". Snider fue acompañado por sus contemporáneos y amigos George Lynch, de Dokken, y Bob Kulick. También en 2005, la banda lanzó la grabación de su show en el festival alemán de Wacken de 2003 en CD y DVD titulado Live at Wacken, y se fueron de tour con Alice Cooper, sirviendo como la banda de apoyo, pero actuando casi como la principal. Twisted Sister en un concierto en Mánchester en el 2006. En 2006, Snider y French trabajaron con Lordi para producir y tocar unas canciones nuevas en su álbum The Arockalypse. Snider fue incluido en la primera canción, "SCG3 Special Report", como la voz de Lordi anunciando que se acerca el Arockalypse. French aparece como invitado en la canción "Chainsaw Buffet". En junio de 2006, la banda anunció que habían firmado un contrato con la discográfica estadounidense Razor & Tie para lanzar un último CD. La fecha planeada para el lanzamiento es el 16 de octubre de 2006 (declaración de Snider en un concierto en la ciudad de Quebec en Canadá, el 8 de julio de 2006, frente a 80.000 personas. El show también incluía a los Scorpions como cabeza de cartel). También presentaron un pequeño concierto en el Wolverhampton Civic Center. El concierto fue un éxito, con el apoyo de muchos fanes al igual que durante el auge del grupo. La banda sigue junta y ocasionalmente hacen pequeños tours por todo el mundo, con todo el maquillaje. Antes de cada tour se presentan como Bent Brother, practicando su presentación y sin maquillaje, usualmente a un precio menor, aunque tanto Snider como French han declarado que no les gusta tocar canciones de "Twisted Sister" bajo el nombre de "Bent Brother". De hecho en 2008 tocaron en Zaragoza, y Dee Snider salió con maquillaje y en su presentación dijo estas palabras, "We are the fucked Twisted Sister". El 23 de julio de 2016, "Twisted Sister" continúa con su gira de despedida en los escenarios mundiales con la gira "Forty and F*ck it". En el festival Hell and Heaven Metal Fest celebrado en el Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez en la Ciudad de México uno de los motivos que el vocalista reveló fue que muchos de los grandes músicos de su época están falleciendo, brindándoles un emotivo homenaje con "The price". En una de sus melodías icónicas , como lo han hecho en otros países hispano parlantes, destacó la adaptación del coro "we are not gonna take it" a su coro "huevos con aceite"; así también fue una interesante añadidura, la presencia de Mike Portnoy en la batería, durante su última presentación en la Ciudad de México. Su última presentación se llevó a cabo el 12 de noviembre del 2016 en la primera edición del festival de rock y heavy metal Corona NorthSide en la ciudad de Monterrey.

Show notes What is "Diversity" & "Inclusion"?Facets of diversity are all aspects of human differences. These include gender, race, ethnicity, age, physical ability, gender identity, national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and more.Inclusion is making everyone feel welcomed and included.Inclusion requires having a culture & environment where everyone can thrive regardless of background differences. This inclusive culture fosters respect & belonging in which we hear, appreciate, & value everyone and their perspectives.Inclusive organizations work with individuals to recognize and eliminate both explicit and implicit biases. They may do this with intentional efforts like professional & skills development as well as addressing awareness, education, and policy. Diversity measures representation by counting the presence of varying identities and characteristics. But Diversity itself is not the final goal.Diversity is the metric while Inclusion is the goal. For now, while representation is so disparate among certain groups, diversity is an important metric. It’s hard to be truly inclusive with such professional inequities. “Ultimately what we want is for people to belong. So not just be asked to the dance and sitting around and staring at everybody else but really feeling like you can go out on that dance floor and dance, like nobody's watching and it's fine because this is your community.” - Pamela Douglas Why is achieving diversity important?Diversity is a virtue in and of itself. But more than that, diverse groups make better decisions, are more innovative, are better at problem solving, and have an expanded talent pool.Cardiovascular medicine benefits from having a diverse workforce. Science performed by diverse groups has greater scientific novelty and produces higher impact papers in higher impact journals. Is there a link between professional diversity and healthcare inequities?YES!Physician diversity reduces healthcare disparities and improves healthcare quality.Physicians who train in diverse environments are more culturally competent when treating underrepresented groups.Underrepresented physicians are more likely to serve underrepresented populations.Underrepresented patients are more likely to follow the recommendations of physicians who look like them. This enhanced trust is critical to an effective patient-physician relationship. In the context of clinical trials and guidelines, underrepresented physician scientists help diversify our clinical trial participants, resulting in a more robust and representative evidence base. How are we doing in cardiology with respect to diversity?There have been improvements but we have a long way to go.Women comprise 43% of internal medicine resident physician...
