		The 
		Logan County All Hazards Mitigation Planning Committee met at the safety 
		complex in Lincoln last week. Among the items discussed was a 
		new form called a mitigation actions table. The form will help 
		determine how to prevent large amounts of damage to critical facilities 
		during a disaster. The form includes space for items such as 
		funding sources, size of affected population and time frame for 
		completion. Read more about the meeting in the story below.

				Wednesday in San Francisco. The 700-seat, 
				specially designed concert hall nestled in the heart of the

				high-energy, inaugural celebration emceed by Cosby. Billed 
				as the first free-standing building in the West built for jazz 
				performance and education, the center opened Wednesday after 
				raising more than $60 million over more than a decade to build a 
				home for SFJAZZ, the nonprofit that puts on the city's jazz
