*Student with TB released from hospital: Second mass test next week; no one else at CdA High shows symptoms/JoNel Allecia, Spokesman-Review -- So far, so good. (BTW, put your hands together for our newest SR/CDA bureau staffer JoNel Allecia, who replaces Susan Drumheller, who now is hugging trees in Sandpoint for the Idaho Conservation League.)

*Gun range expansion draws fire in Idaho: Bayview group blasts state plan for Farragut State Park project/James Hagengruber, Spokesman-Review -- As long as they're firing words and not bullets, there's no cause for alarm.

*Net result: Live feeds to continue: Pilot program is successful; Idaho sessions stay online/Associated Press -- Now, if Bruce Newcomb & Co. would do something about closed meetings, we could say that the Idaho Legislature has open government.

*Altercation between friends results in stabbing death: Investigators are awaiting accounts of 26-year-old's death from witnesses/Thomas Clouse, Spokesman-Review -- Another example of how alcohol kills.
