Bloody images of Gad-hafi's last moments in the hands of angry captors have raised questions oyer his treatment minutes before his death. One son, Muat-assim, was also killed but the fate of Gadhafi's one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, was unclear.

Justice Minister Mohammed al-Alagi said Seif al-Islam was wounded and being held in a hospital in the city of Zlitan. But Information Minister Mahmoud Shammam today that the son's whereabouts were uncertain. Shammam said Gadhafi's body was still in Misrata, where it was taken after he was found in his hometown of Sirte, and revolutionary forces were discussing where it should be interred. Thursday's death of Gadhafi, two months after he was driven from power and into hiding, decisively buries the nearly 42-year regime that had turned the oil-rich country into an international pariah and his own personal fiefdom. It also thrusts Libya into a new age in which transitional leaders must overcome deep divisions and rebuild its institutions from scratch to achieve dreams of democracy.

Many Libyans awoke after a night of jubilation and celebratory gunfire with hope for the future but concern their new rulers might repeat the mistakes of the past. Bloody images of Gadhafi's last moments also cast a shadow over the celebrations, raising questions over how exactly he died. See LIBYA, pageA15 Alumni Association, was born in Libya to American parents. She and her family have watched closely as the revolution has unfolded since March, when opposition forces called for Gadhafi to step down as part of the so-called Arab Spring revolutions. While Mohr is disappointed Gadhafi wasn't brought to trial for his crimes, she said she is glad Libyans are rid of him.

and a convoy of utility workers and police move a house down Newell Street Thursday. The home, previously at 1353 Logan was moved to Cottage Street to make way for the U.S. Highway 63 reconstruction project. By TIM JAMISON tim.jamisonwcfcourier.com WATERLOO An overdue project got under way Thursday as contractors relocated one of the houses saved as part of the U.S. Highway 63 reconstruction project.

"One down and four to go," said developer Charles Jones as the small, blue house was eased onto a new foundation at 710 Cottage St. following a three-hour journey from the 1300 block of Logan Avenue. A convoy of police, utility workers and tree trimmers not to mention a few curious onlookers accompanied Jeremy Patterson House Moving Inc. down Highway 63, across Newell Street and down Hewitt Street to its new location. Jones and city officials were relieved finally to see progress.

Delays and complications had left six homes on blocks and steel moving beams for more than a year, which had prompted complaints to City Hall and had Iowa Department of Transportation officials threatening demolition to clear the way for the highway construction to start next spring. Patterson House Moving is scheduled to haul houses from 1302 Logan, 1707 Logan, 1711 Logan and 1745 Logan Tuesday through Friday next week. The historic two -story house at 1252 Logan Ave. will be torn down instead of moved. "MidAmerican (Energy) said it was going to be $100,000 to move the power lines," said Jones.

"The others were $3,000 each." Despite spending money on historic preservation consultants and other measures designed to save the largest house, Jones said, it was no longer economically feasible. City Council members voted in May 2010 to approve a development agreement with Jones' CJE Properties, based in Iowa City, to ning and zoning department, coordinated the effort with the developer and DOT. "The whole project is very exciting because it was a win-win for everybody," Western said. "We were saving affordable housing; we were keeping them on the east side; we were getting rid of lots that we don't have to mow or remove snow from, so it's saving a little money." Jones said he expects the homes to be ready for occupation before the end of the year. save six houses originally slated to be demolished as part of the reconstruction of Highway 63 between Conger and Donald streets.

The city donated the houses and vacant city-owned lots for Jones to put the homes on. He agreed pay to move and fix up the houses for resale or rent. At least one other house was moved by another property owner, but some 23 others were torn down by the DOT.

The statements were taken after the school launched an investigation into any wrongdoing by tance and outreach program.

With the school year under way, networking was the reason student and community groups set up booths inside the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center for the second-annual event. "It's a great way to meet people," said Aleigh Glazier, who is involved with a few organizations there to meet and attract LGBT UNI students. "(It's to) say there are liberal, welcoming groups." For students coming from smaller or less-welcoming places, that kind of gathering is a huge self-esteem boost. "Particularly for new students, it's great for them to see other people, (like) out couples who are faculty and staff," said Payne. "It ends up being a place where they can identify some people who can be great allies to them." UNI Proud, the campus LGBT-and-more group, has been around since the 1980s connecting students with each other and with campus and community resources.

"Proud definitely serves as a middle ground," said co-president Ellie Hail. Outside of a school setting, however, networking opportunities for the LGBT community in the Cedar Valley are few and far between. Organizers of other LGBT resource and community groups say that's not because there aren't enough gays and lesbians in Northeast Iowa, however. "I definitely think Waterloo Cedar Falls is large enough; I just think nobody's been able to organize a group," said Arthur Breur, editor-in-chief of ACCESSline, a monthly, statewide LGBT newspaper. "My guess is that nobody up there feels the need for that kind of an organization there and if they do, it's just a matter of doing it."

Barrett was terminated in December 2009. Defense attorney George Carroll continued to question Barrett about the complaints, including an allegation Barrett, wearing only underwear, asked a student to rub his back during a gallbladder attack. Barrett said the student was at his apartment to help install a stereo and that he did experienced a gallbladder attack, but he denied the other allegation. The defense asked to put the students on the stand but was overruled by Judge Kellyann Lekar. Lekar said the jury should consider the information upon which university officials based their decision to terminate Barrett and that the testimony would likely be beyond that scope.
