Anyone who has cruised in recent years will tell you the same thing: a cruise ship is a floating luxury resort of behemoth proportions, with every onboard amenity you could possibly desire. But it's not until you take a behind-the-scenes tour of a cruise ship that you can begin to understand and truly respect the operations that make this gigantic hotel-at-sea work seamlessly.
My Ultimate Ship Tour of the Crown Princess left me with precisely this sense of awe. The vessel, which sails from Galveston, Texas, to the Western Caribbean January through April, has the inner workings of a fine Swiss watch, each department ticking away in such perfect unison with the rest that for the 3,000 passengers on board, the operations side is utterly invisible. Until you step backstage, that is.
We peek into the engine room, where controllers are at the helm of a sophisticated computer system that delivers exact data on everything from fuel to water consumption. Here we learn that at full speed our vessel is consuming 200 tons of fuel daily, which means our weeklong cruise will use an estimated $700,000 worth of fuel. The 2,400 cubes of water loaded onto the ship at the start of each weeklong cruise will cover the 230 litres per day each passenger is expected to consume – water that, once used, will be treated and pumped back into the ocean. The same deep blue seas will provide the water required to cool the ship's engines.
For anyone whose daily chores involve laundering clothes, the ship's laundry is a place of wonder and amazement. I find myself mesmerized by folding and ironing machines that look much like printing presses, taking wet towels, napkins, tablecloths and bed linens and in a matter of seconds, rendering them hot and creaseless. The machines run 24/7 so that the 86 stateroom stewards have a ready supply of linens around the clock.
On deck four, close to the bowels of the Crown Princess, Dr. Dylan Belton shows us around the ship's medical centre, which houses separate clinics for passengers and staff. "This is the one place no one truly wants to have to see," quips the British doctor who has worked on board for the past six years. The seven-bed centre sees a variety of ailments, mostly coughs, colds, forgotten medication, respiratory illness and heart attacks. But it also serves the crew, vaccinating the 1,200 crew members for influenza and assisting them with weight loss, smoking prevention and diet modification. "This is a working ship, so we have to be able to deal with trauma," he explains. "We even have a morgue, since the days of burial at sea are long gone. I'll show you that on your way out," he jokes.
To get a sense of how the kitchen works I sign up for the Chef's Table, an eight-course meal that begins in the galley with a series of appetizers, and continues in the dining room with a menu customized by Giuseppe Di Gennaro, the ship's executive chef. It's 7 p.m. and just beyond the galley doors there are 1,100 guests dining on a three-course meal in two massive dining rooms. You wouldn't know it by stepping into the kitchen, though, where every surface is spotless and 60-odd members of the wait staff move soundlessly along polished floors, loading dishes of salads and entrees onto large trays. Dishwashers are humming as 6,000 plates move through the galley in the course of an average meal. But a sense of calm prevails, one that belies the sheer amount of food being prepared on the ship's nine galleys each day.
We're led past vats of soup and sauces large enough to bathe in, to a white clothed table decorated with food art: turnips dyed and sculpted into roses, watermelons carved to resemble a woman's profile. As its name suggests, the Chef's Table is unmistakably in the chef's quarters, and he presides over it with pride, offering a customized menu that showcases his culinary talents. A series of delicate, bite-size appetizers appears accompanied by flutes of champagne. As we move to the dining room, to a candle-lit table decorated with a large floral arrangement, other passengers look on with interest. It's clear we're getting the 'special treatment' – beef flambéed tableside, servings of potatoes carved to resemble toadstools and each course paired with fine wine, carefully chosen by an attentive Chilean sommelier to accentuate the meal.
Earlier, in our behind-the-scenes tour, we'd glimpsed the food storage facilities and watched as fruit and vegetables were unpacked, peeled, chopped and readied for the galley in the preparation station. Heavenly aromas were emanating from the bakery as some of the 24,000 buns baked daily emerged from the oven.
"We go through an average of 225 tons of food each day, and we always carry enough for at least a day or two extra, just in case," says Giorgio Pisano, maitre d'hôtel. A picture of elegance in his handsome suit and Italian-accented English, Pisano started bussing tables for the Island Princess in 1976 while still a teenager, and never looked back. Today he presides over the Crown Princess' nine dining facilities, somehow managing to be everywhere at once while still appearing utterly unflustered.
"It's organized chaos," he jokes, as I marvel at the precision of operations in the galley. More like that Swiss watch, I'm thinking. Each movement so impeccably synchronized, rehearsed and orchestrated that for passengers, the inner workings of the cruise ship are entirely invisible.

Introduction to Vinyasa Yoga 7 Week Winter Course
inToowoomba, QLD organised byFlow Yoga with Jen Murray
inToowoomba, QLD organised byFlow Yoga with Jen Murray
A 7 week course exploring the fundamental principles of Vinyasa Yoga.
Suitable for complete beginners, those who have been off their mats for a while, and current yoga practitioners looking for a more dynamic style of practice.
Vinyasa yoga is an energising, dynamic and flowing physical practice. Students are guided through intelligently linked sequences of postures, which place equal emphasis on stretch and strength. This style of yoga helps to open areas of tightness in the body as well as strengthen those areas that are weak, bringing about a state of balance and equilibrium. This sense of 'balance' is also manifested emotionally, as vinyasa works as a 'moving meditation'.
Breath is emphasised, and with practice the breath becomes an anchor for ones awareness and concentration. The breath is synchronised with both the postures and the transitions between them, resulting in a deep connectivity between body and mind. Students will feel balanced, calm, and deeply restored at the completion of a vinyasa yoga class.
If you are looking to deepen your mind body connection, wake up the innate intelligence of the body, stretch and strengthen, and create space for rest and relaxation, this course if for you.
(Please note that vinyasa yoga is an active and physically demanding style of yoga. It is not suitable if you are pregnant, very ill or injured, or in poor physical condition.)
Monday evenings, July 29 - Sept 9 5:30 - 6:45 pm.

Zoya Nail Polish | Elisa Nails by Elisa
I couldn`t resist buying my namesake polish, not to mention that 4 of my clients have the same name. The color is truly beautiful and makes an ideal classic red with a little modern twist. I was turned onto Zoya by one of my clients 6 months ago and I haven`t used any other brand since. Happy Nail Tech!!!!
Zoya Nail Polish | ElisaLike shiny red wrapping paper.
This appears much darker on my computer screen than in person. In person it`s a bright metallic red. Not too cool or warm toned, but I`d say it leans cooler. It`s very shiny and festive. I think this color is gorgeous with black velvet open toe heels. You definitely need to have a shade like this for the holidays!

(visited by James Meehan, Edward Louie, Raymond Walsh and Alexius Ludeman)
15-Jul-2001 -- This is probably one of the more difficult confluences in
California, if not the world. It's located in the middle
of the Trinity Alps Wilderness, about 40 miles NW of
Redding, CA. National forest wilderness areas are off
limits to vehicles, but frequently have well marked hiking
trails. Luckily for us, the Trinity Alps trail passes
within 0.3 mi of the confluence. However, that point is
14 miles in from the trail head with an elevation difference
of about 3000 feet. I was looking for a challenge though,
and several friends had expressed interest in a backpacking
trip, so I rounded up three of them and we set out.
We left later than we wanted to on Friday, July 13th. We'd
hoped to hit the trail head before dark and get some
hiking in during the remaining daylight, but we hit traffic
on the way up from San Francisco. It was just dark when we
got to the trail head, but we decided to pack up and hike
for a bit anyway. After a wrong turn and almost sliding
down a steep hill into the river, we camped for the night
about 2 miles in.
On Saturday, we hiked another 8 or so miles to a spot just
past Morris Meadow. The trail follows the Stuart's Fork
river the whole way, so we fortunately could filter our
water from the stream instead of carrying it with us. The
trail was fairly deserted compared to those closer to
metropolitan areas, but we did see a few other hikers both
on their way in and out. The scenery along the river is
fabulous, and kept getting more and more breathtaking as
we neared our goal.
On Sunday, we left our packs and most of our gear at the
camp site and day hiked the remaining 3 or so miles up to
Emerald Lake. The view from here is stunning (see picture
2). From this point, the confluence was about 0.3 miles
south. From looking at some topo maps, I knew that the
confluence was somewhat above the level of the lake, but
wasn't really prepared for the climb that presented itself.
After hiking the 14 miles in, we were all pretty beat, but
managed to climb up the large granite boulder rock slides
that you can see on the far side of the lake in picture 3.
From here, the confluence was another 400 or so feet away,
and the climbing got even more difficult. Steep, mostly
flat slabs of rock with few foot and hand holds. We came
within 70 feet of the confluence, and two of our party went
up a little higher. At the final point, the GPS read
N41 00.005' W123 00.000' with 5 satellites locked on and an
EPE of 25 feet. Unfortunately, our photographer discovered
that the batteries in his digital camera were empty after
snapping a shot of the confluence spot, so we were unable
to get a picture of the GPS. Drat!
We returned to our camp after climbing back down to the
lake. All of us were pretty sore and tired, and we realized
that we had 11 or so miles to hike back out the next day.
Fortunately, it was all downhill, so it was somewhat easier,
and we had the motivation of returning home.
All in all, a very worthy confluence. A good one if you're
looking for a challenge. The Trinity Alps Wilderness is
also an awesome hike even if you don't visit the confluence.

Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's Jesus Christ is heading to the big screen in "Son of God," but the devil character that riled many viewers in "The Bible" for his similar appearance to President Barack Obama will not be going for the ride.
Burnett and Downey, executive producers of History Channel's 10-hour "The Bible" miniseries and its big screen edit "Son of God," told The Hollywood Reporter that the character has been cut out in order to avoid stirring up controversy once again.
READ: "The Bible" Bosses Slam Satan-Obama Similarities, Calls Controversy "Utter Nonsense"
"It gives me great pleasure to tell you that the devil is on the cutting-room floor. This is now a movie about Jesus, the son of God, and the devil gets no more screen time," Downey told THR. "For our movie, 'Son of God,' I wanted all of the focus to be on Jesus. I want his name to be on the lips of everyone who sees this movie, so we cast Satan out. It gives me great pleasure to tell you that the devil is on the cutting-room floor."
Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni played Satan in the miniseries. When "The Bible" originally debuted in 2013, the Satan/Obama comparison swept the media.
"History channel has the highest respect for President Obama," History said in a statement in 2013. "The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. History's 'The Bible' is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history."
READ: "The Bible" Is Back: NBC Orders 12-Episode Sequel to the Hit History Miniseries
Burnett and Downey both blasted the comparison at the time too.
"This is utter nonsense," Burnett said last year. "The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzaani, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics--including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President."
"Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love our President, who is a fellow Christian," Downey said in 2013. "False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of 'The Bible.'"
Burnett and Downey are currently working on a sequel to "The Bible" that will air on NBC.

Directory Server provides security through a combination of the following methods:
Authentication is a means for one party to verify another's identity. For example, a client gives a password to Directory Server during an LDAP bind operation. Policies define the criteria that a password must satisfy to be considered valid, for example, age, length, and syntax. Directory Server supports anonymous authentication, password-based authentication, certificate-based authentication, SASL-based authentication, and proxy authentication. When authentication is denied, Directory Server provides the following mechanisms to protect data: account inactivation and global lockout. For information about authentication, see How Directory Server Provides Authentication.
Encryption protects the privacy of information. When data is encrypted, the data is scrambled in a way that only a legitimate recipient can decode. Directory Server supports SSL encryption and attribute encryption. For information about encryption, see How Directory Server Provides Encryption.
Access control
Access control tailors the access rights granted to different directory users, and provides a means of specifying required credentials or bind attributes. For information about access control , see How Directory Server Provides Access Control.
Auditing determines whether the security of a directory has been compromised. For example, log files maintained by a directory can be audited. For information about log files, see Chapter 7, Directory Server Logging.

During an annual customer conference, Fujitsu introduced a new set of technologies designed to enable IT organizations to implement a "bring your own cloud" strategy. The "Cloud Integration Platform" will let large school districts and other education entities work with cloud services, whether public or private, and non-cloud applications through a single portal. Integrated tools provide access control, provisioning, system monitoring, and service management.
"It is clear from regular discussions with our customers they not only want, but need, a 'single pane of glass' to integrate, aggregate and manage their growing portfolio of cloud services, regardless of whether they are deployed by an IT department, or sourced from the Cloud and procured by their Business units," explained Cameron McNaught, Fujitsu's executive vice president of Solutions. The new platform, he said, "will allow CIOs and their teams to become cloud enablers, supporting the adoption of cloud services and managing them in a simple, consistent and compliant way."
The new products will go into beta testing in December 2013 through an early-adopter program for which the company is soliciting participants. They will be available for deployment on- and off-premise and may be managed internally or be delivered as a managed service.
Fujitsu said its new offering covers these aspects:
"The 'candy store' of irresistible cloud services continues to grow in range and complexity -- enticing customers from all corners of the enterprise to 'have cloud their way,'" said Vernon Turner, IDC's senior vice president of Enterprise Infrastructure, Consumer, Network, Telecom and Sustainability Research. "IDC forecasts that public IT cloud services spending will grow at five times the rate of the IT industry as a whole, so the next big challenge for CIOs is how to simplify the way they combine and manage these services, particularly when they are delivered by multiple providers. Fujitsu's Cloud Integration Platform is leading the way to help provide organizations with the basis of seamless application, data, and management environments across their in-house ICT (information and communication technology)."

DUE WEST, S.C. – The No. 6 Georgia College baseball team (25-5) pounded out 18 hits en route to a 18-7 victory at Erskine College (21-10) Wednesday afternoon. Junior Kaleb Holbrook (Dawsonville, Ga.) tagged the first home run of his Bobcat career in the blowout.
A nine-run second inning helped the Bobcats take over the game, not looking back the rest of the way.
First baseman Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) led the barrage, going 4-for-6 with three RBI and three runs. The junior ripped a pair of doubles on the day. Designated hitter Taylor Hinshaw (Winder, Ga.) drove in five runs as part of a 2-for-4 effort, scoring a pair as well. The senior slugger hit his fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the sixth.
Rob Hogenkamp (St. Louis) had three hits in four trips, scoring three runs and driving in two more. Senior catcher Joe Scott (Warner Robins, Ga.) had one of the best games of his career, going 2-for-2, scoring three runs and driving in one. Second baseman Brandon Benson (Loganville, Ga.) and leftfielder Ryan Sabalaskey (Carol Stream, Ill.) each tallied two hits, as both men scored twice and added an RBI apiece.
Holbrook pinch hit in the ninth, ripping a solo shot. The junior is in his first season with the Bobcats, transferring in from South Georgia College.
Seven Bobcat pitchers divided the game, with three tossing scoreless outings. Dallas Draviczki (Mission Viejo, Calif.) went two hitless innings, allowing a pair of walks, while both Micah Thompson (Tallapoosa, Ga.) and Jordan Modine (Ft. Pierce, Fla.) added a scoreless frame each.
The Bobcats have now won six in a row, and 15 of their last 16. Georgia College is 13-1 on the road this season.
GC baseball is back in action Friday, April 4 at 6 p.m., hosting No. 25 Columbus State University at John Kurtz Field.

As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

It's a fact of life for military spouses – when the country calls, they step up to answer. When their loved ones are sent overseas for months on end, they're holding everything together back home. When the PTA, the parish council, the Little League or the Girl Scouts need a volunteer, they're the first ones to raise their hands. And when they're asked to pack up their family and begin a new life in a new hometown, they're proud to do it.
But for so many military spouses like Shelly, each move to a new state also means a return to a familiar headache: renewing a professional license. Shelly has renewed her license as a nurse seven times – and she's not alone. More than 100,000 military spouses throughout America serve in a profession that requires a license or certification to work; that's more than one-third of military spouses in the labor force. So for teachers, nurses, real estate agents, accountants, physical therapists and dozens of other kinds of professionals, a move can mean gathering old transcripts, paying new fees, filling out a pile of paperwork, and sometimes even taking entry-level classes – no matter how many years of experience they have.
It's a process that can take months. And during that time, these military spouses can't practice their profession, even though there are jobs open in their new communities and companies desperate to hire them. That means their skills go unused while their families try to get by without the income they need. It means they are unable to advance in the careers they trained for – often for years. And sometimes, the hassle is simply too much, and these spouses choose to quit the careers they love and choose new ones that are more friendly to a military lifestyle. So it's no wonder that military spouses bring this issue up to me more than any other.
Luckily, this is an eminently solvable problem. Each state has the power to act on behalf of our nation's military families. We simply need the will to do it. That's why, in February, Jill Biden and I issued a nationwide call through our Joining Forces initiative, asking all 50 states to pass legislation by 2014 to help make it easier for military spouses to obtain new professional licenses when they move. Since then, the number of states that have enacted measures to solve this problem has grown from 11 to 23.
[Both Carolinas appear on the effort's website as states that are considering such legislation in 2012.]
Governors and legislators in these states have worked together across the aisle, because supporting our military families is something we can all agree on. They're coming up with solutions that work for their states. They're helping military spouses get to work while they complete any remaining state-specific requirements. And they're doing it all without lowering their professional standards one bit – they're simply finding ways to account for the realities of military life.
So we've come a long way. But we're not finished yet. There are still 27 states that have not yet enacted measures to address this issue. So I want to ask for your help. Talk to leaders in your community. Make your voice heard. Do your part to make this issue a priority.
That's what it's going to take to get this done. And make no mistake – we must get this done. We owe it to our troops and military families. They have done so much for all of us. Whenever our country has called, they've answered.
So on this issue – and so many others – we can show them how much we appreciate their service and their sacrifice. We can give back in real, meaningful ways. And together, we can serve our men and women in uniform and their families as well as they have served us.

Every year at this time, she is filled with a consuming sadness. It leaves her exhausted and confused, despite knowing deep down inside where it stems from.
She was adopted as a baby.
This is a pain I can only imagine. Despite having felt myself at the depths of sorrow and sadness, it was something that feels pale and simple in comparison to her own struggle of emotions and overwhelming sense of aloneness.
Her senses of belonging and importance, her role, those things that make her special, are lost upon her at times; times such as now, her birthday.
She is my mom.
Her birthday is the day that reminds me of exactly what kind of a gift she was then, and continues to be now.
I am grateful that, no matter what the circumstances, she was born. Her beginnings in this world less than what most would dream of for their baby girl, I am grateful that she found her way into a loving family. I am thankful, and grow constantly more appreciative, for the journey that she has walked in her life. It led her to be the one chosen to be my mother, and it brought her and I to the place where we now are.
We are friends; bonded and connected by so many things, our turbulent past is almost laughable.
Happy Birthday Mom! It is your day. It is now, and it always has been. Look back over your journey with excitement and joy as you remember all the steps that you took to bring you here, now. All of these things that make you special, and uniquely you; these things that you are loved and appreciated for that make you amazing!
Today and every day, always remember how special you are to all of us. No one does it like you, and that's the way it is meant to be!
I love you.

MASSACHUSETTS: Catholic Monsignor Found With a Prostitute Behind a Cemetery
Written by Melissa Hanson and Peter Schworm Tuesday, 06 August 2013 00:00
LOWELL — An official of the Archdiocese of Boston
Monsignor Arthur Coyle, 62, of Lowell was arraigned this morning in Lowell District Court. Bail was set at $500 cash, and he was slated to return to court Sept. 16 for a pretrial conference, said Middlesex district attorney's spokeswoman Stephanie Guyotte.
In a statement released this afternoon, the archdiocese said Coyle had voluntarily taken a leave of absence from his post as episcopal vicar for the Merrimack Region, a post he has held since 2008.
"While on administrative leave, Msgr. Coyle is prohibited from performing any public ministry,'' the archdiocese said in the statement. "These restrictions will remain in place pending the outcome of the case. The steps taken today do not represent a determination of Msgr. Coyle's guilt or innocence as it pertains to these charges.''
The statement concluded with the sentence, "The Archdiocese asks for prayers for all impacted by this matter.''
Coyle was arrested at 5:19 p.m. Sunday after he offered a prostitute money for sex, said Lowell Police Captain Kelly Richardson. In a report filed in court, police quoted Coyle as telling them that he had paid a woman working as a prostitute $40 for oral sex. Coyle told police the sex act had not been completed, the report said.
Police had spotted Coyle's black Chevy Equinox and noticed he had a "known prostitute" in the passenger seat, the report said. After the vehicle parked behind the Polish Cemetery in Lowell, officers waited five minutes, then approached the vehicle and separated Coyle from the alleged prostitute, Siriwan Kongkaen, 38, police said in the report.
Coyle has been charged with paying a fee for sexual conduct.
According to the police report, Kongkaen has been arrested multiple times in the past for prostitution and narcotics-related offenses.
The report also said Coyle had been spotted a dozen times in the past circling a neighborhood known for prostitution, noting, in particular, an incident in November. Police had seen Coyle in his Equinox circling the area of Linden Street by Union Street and stopped him. When police asked why he had been circling an area known for prostitution, he denied doing so and went home, the report said.
Coyle was ordained a priest in 1977 and appointed an episcopal vicar, a high-ranking official in the church, in 2008, according to the archdiocese's website.

Summit County braces for summer of construction
summit daily news
Along with summer visitors, the spring snowmelt will bring an influx of construction crews to the High Country this year as several major projects get under way.
Highway 9 south of Farmer's Korner, Park Avenue in Breckenridge, Interstate 70 east of Idaho Springs and U.S. 285 through Park County are all up for extensive improvement projects during the upcoming construction season, most of them involving expansion to increase traffic capacity.
"It's fantastic to get all that stuff done," Summit County assistant manager Thad Noll said. "That's the upside. The downside is that all that stuff is getting done and that means a lot of traffic impacts."
The biggest project, a $106 million widening of I-70 at the Twin Tunnels east of Idaho Springs will close the eastbound highway lanes from April through November. A 35 mph detour around the closure will be in place and will likely be the fastest option for commuters from the mountains to the Front Range, as the alternative route – from Breckenridge through Alma and down U.S. 285 to Denver – will also be thick with orange cones and lane closures.
On Highway 9 between Summit High School and Breckenridge, crews will be widening the road to two lanes in each direction, implementing one of the last steps toward fulfilling a long-cherished dream of a four-lane highway between Frisco and Breck.
The project will include a roundabout installation at the intersection of Fairview Boulevard and Highway 9 as well as an expansion between Agape Outpost Church and Tiger Road. The roundabout will be constructed in 2014.
Within the town of Breckenridge, work will begin on an additional roundabout at Park Avenue and Four O'clock Road that officials say will provide a safer and better-looking intersection. Relocation of utilities will begin this summer with actual construction set to begin in the summer of 2014.
Local officials say measures are being taken to reduce the inconvenience for drivers.
"When we first started looking at all these projects, it was staggering," Noll said. "However, with phasing of the work and good traffic control plans we believe the impacts will be a lot less."
Transportation officials have promised one lane will be open in both directions at all times on Highway 9 and work will stop on Friday afternoons and be discontinued through the weekends. Traffic will not be stopped on I-70 on Sunday, a busy day on the corridor, and two lanes will always be open to traffic during peak travel times.
Transportation officials are also pushing constant information on multiple platforms, including a phone hotline, website, smartphone application, social media and regional radio stations, to ensure drivers have advance warning of the construction work and can plan to avoid the worst delays.
On U.S. 285, where crews will be repaving and adding passing lanes, work will not be done at night or on the weekends.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

18th Sunday
in Ordinary Time Jn 6/24-35
Todays Gospel continues the incident of the multiplication of the loaves and
fishes. The dialog is obviously a reflection of the Evangelist on the lack of faith Jesus
encountered even in
read the padre
Once upon a time there was a young woman who had become very scrupulous about the Eucharist. She was afraid that the priest was careless about distributing Communion and permitted tiny bits of the host fall on the floor around the altar rail. After Mass was over and the priest had gone back to the Rectory, she would sneak up to the altar and collect what she thought might be parts of the hosts in which Jesus was still present. She would pick them up with a little spoon she always carried in her purse and then place them in a little plastic bag. However, after she had collected many of these little bits of Jesus, she did not know what to do with them. So she brought them home and created a little altar in her room where she could pray to Jesus. Her parents thought it was nice that she had the little altar with a vote light burning in front of Jesus. Finally, one morning the priest caught her collecting bits of the Eucharist from the floor. Greatly embarrassed, she tried to explain what she was doing. The priest who understood how young people can become obsessive, took the plastic bag from her and promised that he would wash it out in the special sacristy think. But, Martha, he said, Jesus comes to us in the Eucharist to be with us because he loves us, not to drive us crazy with fears. If he was worried about such things he would have consecrated jelly beans at the last super.

Extensible record

A problem where some concepts of extensible records could be useful is described in the HaskellDB project:
- updated page (see Papers subsection on Documentation)
- which presupposes reading also paper on the original page (see Documentation subpage, PostScript version)
Proposals, implementations can be found on the FirstClassLabels page of Haskell' Wiki.

- cantaloupe
- white melon
- mango or pineapple
- kiwi
- 3 small containers or 1 large container plain yogurt
- brown sugar and honey to taste
- mint, lemongrass or lavender, lemon and lime juice
- 1/2 container blueberries
- cocoa and cinnamon to taste
Dice the different types of fruit into pieces, all the same size. If using white fruit, drizzle with lemon to prevent it from darkening.
Make layers of fruit cubes on a serving platter, alternating the different colors, and even creating patterns if you feel particularly artistic.
Decorate with fresh mint.
Serve with at least 3 different yogurt sauces made by blending yogurt with any of the following:
1) blueberries and sugar; 2) honey and fresh mint; 3) lemon or lime, brown sugar and lemongrass or lavender; 4) cocoa powder, cinnamon and sugar....

Appeal from Shawnee District Court; CHARLES E. ANDREWS, JR., judge. Opinion filed March 30, 2001. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings. Modified opinion filed May 2, 2001.
Dale E. McCormick, appellant pro se.
Richard V. Eckert, county counselor, for appellees Board of County Commissioners of Shawnee County and Shawnee County.
M. J. Willoughby, assistant attorney general, for appellees Hamilton and Long.
Before KNUDSON, P.J., LEWIS, J., and WARREN M. WILBERT, DISTRICT JUDGE, assigned.
KNUDSON, J.: Dale E. McCormick appeals the district court's dismissal of his petition for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. McCormick sued multiple defendants requesting damages and injunctive relief for a perceived violation of his constitutional right to be free from an unreasonable seizure and detention. In addition to his claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994), McCormick presents numerous tort claims under State law against the defendants. The defendants are the Board of County Commissioners of Shawnee County (Commissioners), the Shawnee County District Attorney's office, Joan Hamilton, and Cynthia Long. At the time the petition was filed, Hamilton was Shawnee County District Attorney and Long was one of her deputy prosecutors.
As a preliminary matter, McCormick in his written brief abandoned his claim for injunctive relief. His decision effectively removes the Shawnee County District Attorney's office from this litigation; remaining is his damage claim against the other named defendants.
We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
The underlying factual circumstances are: On September 8, 1999, Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Long signed a probable cause affidavit and filed a complaint charging McCormick with stalking, a severity level 10 person felony. K.S.A. 21-3438. The State, however, voluntarily dismissed the complaint on September 28, 1999. On September 29, 1999, officers of the University of Kansas Public Safety Office, apparently believing there was an active arrest warrant for McCormick, took him into custody and detained him for approximately 1 hour. We are left to speculate why there was an apparent breakdown in communication between the criminal justice agencies as to the dismissal of the criminal complaint against McCormick. As a result of his arrest and detention, McCormick filed this litigation, asserting various tort claims and a § 1983 claim. McCormick's petition included the following factual allegations:
"10. On or about the 8th day of September, 1999, while in connivance with other private persons and governmental entities, Cynthia J. Long, acting as an agent of Shawnee County and the [Shawnee County District Attorney's office], swore her name to a 'felony stalking' 'complaint' against plaintiff in Shawnee County District Court. This utterly fraudulent 'complaint' caused a charge of 'felony stalking' to lie against plaintiff, subsequently causing a 'felony warrant' to issue for the arrest of plaintiff. The case number of this malicious prosecution was 99-CR-3636.
"As a 'specific' averment of 'fraud,' said 'complaint' alleged that plaintiff had been feloniously 'stalking' [Y.H.] since 12-31-98. In reality, plaintiff and [Y.H.] had a strange but intimate relationship through June of 1999, several weeks prior to [Y.H.] making her first fraudulent 'police report' against plaintiff on 6-27-99. Ms. Long was possessing [sic] of information that established these facts, but she deliberately excluded this information from the false and fraudulent 'felony stalking complaint' and 'affidavit' she 'swore' against plaintiff. Ms. Long intentionally, or with utterly malicious negligence, caused a magistrate to be deceived into allowing this fraudulent 'stalking' charge to lie against plaintiff, subsequently causing said magistrate to issue 'felony warrants' for the arrest of plaintiff.
. . . .
"12. The 'felony stalking' 'complaint' and 'affidavit' that Ms. Long swore against plaintiff on or about 9-8-99, were perjured, and could scarcely have been more contradictory, false, deceptive, deceitful, or misrepresentative of the facts and circumstances surrounding plaintiff's relationship with [Y.H.]. The utter falsity of these instruments 'sworn' by Ms. Long clearly attaches liability to each of the defendants for damages suffered by plaintiff as a result of the ensuing malicious prosecution."
The defendants' motions for dismissal for failure of the petition to state a claim were granted by the district court. The court reasoned Long had absolute immunity as a prosecutor and was not subject to a § 1983 claim and that Long also was immune from McCormick's tort claims under the discretionary function exception of the Kansas Tort Claims Act (KTCA), K.S.A. 75-6101 et seq.
Our standard of review of a dismissal of an action for failure to state a claim for relief under K.S.A. 60-212(b) is stated in Ripley v. Tolbert, 260 Kan. 491, ¶¶ 1, 2, 921 P.2d 1210 (1996):
"Disputed issues of fact cannot be resolved or determined on a motion to dismiss for failure of the petition to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The question for determination is whether in the light most favorable to plaintiff, and with every doubt resolved in plaintiff's favor, the petition states any valid claim for relief. Dismissal is justified only when the allegations of the petition clearly demonstrate plaintiff does not have a claim."
"In considering a motion to dismiss for failure of the petition to state a claim for relief, a court must accept the plaintiff's description of that which occurred, along with any inferences reasonably to be drawn therefrom. However, this does not mean the court is required to accept conclusory allegations on the legal effects of events the plaintiff has set out if these allegations do not reasonably follow from the description of what happened, or if these allegations are contradicted by the description itself."
In addition, "it is our duty to determine whether those pleaded facts and inferences state a claim, not only on the theory which may be espoused by the plaintiffs, but on any possible theory we can divine." Noel v. Pizza Hut, Inc., 15 Kan. App. 2d 225, 231, 805 P.2d 1244, rev. denied 248 Kan. 996 (1991).
§ 1983 Claim
The district court determined that Long has absolute prosecutorial immunity from McCormick's § 1983 claim. The court found that Long merely followed the well-established procedures in connection with preparing and filing an information against a suspect and applying for an arrest warrant. Thus, the court reasoned, Long's activities were within the scope of her duties as a prosecutor and she has absolute immunity from McCormick's claims.
In determining questions of immunity, the court must accept the allegations in the petition as true. See Buckley v. Fitzsimmons, 509 U.S. 259, 261, 125 L. Ed. 2d 209, 113 S. Ct. 2606 (1993). Long filed a criminal complaint against McCormick and signed an affidavit, which resulted in the issuance of an arrest warrant. That complaint was dismissed by the State 1 day before McCormick was detained. In his petition, McCormick claims that Long swore to facts she knew were false and failed to include exculpatory facts in her affidavit. McCormick contends that when Long signed the affidavit, she stepped outside of her role as a prosecutor and into that of a complaining witness. As a result, McCormick argues Long is not entitled to absolute immunity, only qualified immunity.
McCormick's argument is based upon Kalina v. Fletcher, 522 U.S. 118, 120, 139 L. Ed. 2d 471, 118 S. Ct. 502 (1997). In Kalina, the Court addressed the question of whether 42 U.S.C. § 1983 creates a remedy against a prosecutor for making false statements of fact in an affidavit supporting an application for an arrest warrant, or whether such conduct is protected by the doctrine of absolute prosecutorial immunity. In determining immunity, the court must examine the nature of the function performed, not the identity of the actor who performed it. See Forrester v. White, 484 U.S. 219, 229, 98 L. Ed. 2d 555, 108 S. Ct. 538 (1988).
Long's filing of the complaint in this case was well within her duties as a prosecutor. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 22-3201. Prosecutors have absolute immunity for activities intimately associated with the judicial phase of the criminal process, that is, for performing the traditional functions of an advocate. Imbler v. Pachtman, 424 U.S. 409, 430, 47 L. Ed. 2d 128, 96 S. Ct. 984 (1976). However, McCormick alleges that Long also swore to and filed an affidavit which resulted in a determination of probable cause. This is not a function that a prosecutor is required to perform. K.S.A. 22-2302. In fact, it is a law enforcement officer who typically attests to facts in an affidavit. Kalina, 522 U.S. at 130 n.16. The Kalina Court unanimously held that when a prosecutor personally attests to the truth of statements in an affidavit, he or she becomes a complaining witness. 522 U.S. at 130-31. The district court failed to recognize this important distinction in its reading of Kalina. A prosecutor acting as a complaining witness, and not as a lawyer, is only entitled to qualified immunity. 522 U.S. at 122.
Nevertheless, Long maintains she never stepped outside of her role as a prosecutor but followed the generally recognized practices in the Shawnee County District Attorney's office. This is precisely the defense the Supreme Court rejected in Kalina. 522 U.S. at 130-31. The Court took great pains to point out that the practice of prosecutors personally swearing to affidavits is not routine and, moreover, that ethical concerns should counsel against participating as both a witness and an advocate in the same proceeding. 522 U.S. at 130.
We turn next to the question of whether, under the allegations, Long is entitled to qualified immunity for her actions. Qualified immunity provides ample protection to all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law. Malley v. Briggs, 475 U.S. 335, 341, 89 L. Ed. 2d 271, 106 S. Ct. 1092 (1986). Governmental officials performing discretionary functions are generally shielded from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known. Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818, 73 L. Ed. 2d 396, 102 S. Ct. 2727 (1982). In other words, whether an official protected by qualified immunity may be held personally liable for an allegedly unlawful official action generally turns on the objective legal reasonableness of the action, assessed in light of the legal rules that were clearly established at the time it was taken. Anderson v. Creighton, 483 U.S. 635, 639, 97 L. Ed. 2d 523, 107 S. Ct. 3034 (1987). A necessary concomitant to the determination of whether the constitutional right asserted by the plaintiff is "clearly established" is the determination of whether the plaintiff has asserted a violation of a constitutional right at all. Siegert v. Gilley, 500 U.S. 226, 232, 114 L. Ed. 2d 277, 111 S. Ct. 1789, reh. denied 501 U.S. 1265 (1991).
McCormick alleges that Long swore to and filed a false affidavit in connection with his criminal prosecution. As a result, a warrant for his arrest was issued. McCormick was seized and detained for approximately 1 hour on the campus of the University of Kansas by officers relying on that arrest warrant. When the officers realized the charges against McCormick had been dismissed, he was released. There is no doubt that swearing to a false affidavit is against the law. See K.S.A. 54-105; K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-3805.
The district court found that McCormick could not show that Long's alleged actions resulted in his detention. As a result, the court determined that McCormick could not state a cause of action against Long. These findings by the court go beyond the four corners of McCormick's petition. We believe whether the officers relied on the arrest warrant in detaining McCormick is a factual question which must be resolved in favor of McCormick in ruling upon a motion to dismiss. See Smith v. State, 264 Kan. 348, 353, 955 P.2d 1293 (1998).
It is a violation of the Fourth Amendment for a probable cause affiant to knowingly, or with reckless disregard for the truth, include false statements in the affidavit. Similarly, it is a Fourth Amendment violation to knowingly or recklessly omit from the affidavit information which, if included, would have vitiated probable cause. Franks v. Delaware, 438 U.S. 154, 155-56, 57 L. Ed. 2d 667, 98 S. Ct. 2674 (1978). To show he suffered a cognizable violation of his constitutional rights, McCormick must satisfy a two-part test: First, he must show that Long knowingly and deliberately, or with a reckless disregard for the truth, made false statements or omissions that create a falsehood in applying for a warrant; second, he must show that such statements or omissions are material, or necessary, to the determination of probable cause. See Sherwood v. Mulvihill, 113 F.3d 396, 399 (3rd Cir. 1997).
Parenthetically, we note Franks and Sherwood were search warrant cases, but the analysis in both cases has application to an arrest warrant. See Taylor v. Meacham, 82 F.3d 1556, 1562 (10th Cir. 1996).
McCormick's petition does allege that Long made false statements and omitted exculpatory information in her affidavit. McCormick further alleges Long's affidavit was instrumental in the determination of probable cause. We conclude McCormick has alleged a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.
The remaining question to resolve is whether the law proscribing the swearing to and filing of a false affidavit to procure an arrest warrant was clearly established at the time it allegedly occurred. The holding in Kalina leaves no doubt it was clearly established. Thereafter, a prosecutor is to be charged with knowledge that such an act was unreasonable. Long, therefore, is not entitled to qualified immunity. See Anderson, 483 U.S. at 639. Our decision recognizes the limited scope of judicial review of pleadings under K.S.A. 60-212(b)(6). We express no opinion as to whether Long may be entitled to qualified immunity after appropriate development of the record. See Hunter v. Bryant, 502 U.S. 224, 233-34, 116 L. Ed. 2d 589, 112 S. Ct. 534 (1991) (Stevens, J., dissenting).
State Tort Claims
McCormick argues the district court improperly dismissed his state tort claims. McCormick set forth a laundry list of torts he allegedly suffered at the hands of Assistant District Attorney Long. The district court did not analyze the claims of each tort in determining McCormick's petition failed to state a course of action. Instead, the district court held Long owed McCormick no legal duty and, in any event, was immune from liability, pursuant to the discretionary function exception to the KTCA. K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 75-6104(e).
We agree with the district court that in performing her legal duties as a prosecutor, there could be no liability to McCormick. Under the public duty doctrine, a law enforcement officer owes a legal duty to the public at large and not to any individual. Kennedy v. Kansas Dept. of SRS, 26 Kan. App. 2d 98, 100, 981 P.2d 266 (1999). However, when Long stepped outside her role as a prosecutor and became a complaining witness, the public duty doctrine no longer applied. This conclusion requires that we next consider whether the discretionary function exception under K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 75-6104(e) is applicable.
Under that exception, a governmental employee acting within the scope of employment is not liable for any claim based on his or her exercise of a discretionary function, even if that function is abused. As we have already stated, Long's preparing and filing of the criminal complaint falls well within the discretionary function exception. However, liability is not precluded for any tortious conduct arising out of Long's execution of the probable cause affidavit. In executing the affidavit, Long acted outside her duties as a prosecutor and is not afforded immunity under the KTCA. See Dougan v. Rossville Drainage Dist., 243 Kan. 315, 322-23, 757 P.2d 272 (1988).
The Commissioners
Courts have consistently refused to hold municipalities liable in § 1983 proceedings under a theory of respondeat superior. Instead, a plaintiff seeking to impose liability on a municipality under § 1983 must identify an official policy or custom that caused his or her injury. Board of Comm'rs of Bryan Cty. v. Brown, 520 U.S. 397, 403, 137 L. Ed. 2d 626, 117 S. Ct. 1382, reh. denied 520 U.S. 1283 (1997). McCormick has failed to allege any such official policy or custom promulgated by the Board of Shawnee County Commissioners. This reason alone is sufficient to support the district court's dismissal of McCormick's claim against the Board.
However, there is an alternative reason McCormick's petition is fatally deficient. In Kansas, district attorneys are officers of the State. See Oltremari v. Kansas Social & Rehabilitative Service, 871 F. Supp. 1331, 1347 (D. Kan. 1994) (citing State v. Baker, 249 Kan. 431, 444, 819 P.2d 1173 [1991]). District attorneys are elected officials and are the executive officers of the judicial district they represent. In no event are district attorneys to be deemed an officer of any county. K.S.A. 22a-101(a). A district attorney appoints assistant district attorneys and other office staff and determines their rate of compensation. K.S.A. 22a-106(a). In addition, district attorneys and their agents are considered State employees for purposes of the KTCA. Att'y Gen. Op. No. 87-13. Consequently, the Commissioners could not be held liable for the actions of an employee of the district attorney's office.
Similarly, the district court properly granted Hamilton's motion to dismiss. Courts have been virtually unanimous in holding that a prosecutor enjoys absolute immunity from § 1983 suits for damages when he or she acts within the scope of his or her prosecutorial duties. Imbler, 424 U.S. at 420. There is no suggestion in McCormick's petition that Hamilton was not acting within the scope of her duties. Finally, there are no allegations in the petition under which Hamilton could be held liable for any tort committed by Long.
McCormick's petition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted as to the Board of County Commissioners of Shawnee County and District Attorney Joan Hamilton. McCormick's petition does state cognizable claims against Cynthia J. Long.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.
