HARLAN, Iowa (AP) A southwest Iowa man who's accused of giving alcohol to a Harlan teenager who later died has pleaded not guilty.
Twenty-seven-year-old Dustin Thomas is charged with a felony count of supplying alcohol to persons under legal age resulting in death. The man's trial is scheduled to begin April 12.
The Shelby County sheriff's office says Thomas is suspected of giving alcohol to 17-year-old Julio Caceres (HOO'-lee-oh kuh-SEHR'-ehs). Caceres was found unconscious at a party in Harlan on Oct. 9 and died two days later at a hospital. An autopsy showed he choked on vomit.
The criminal complaint says Thomas told investigators he bought a bottle of whiskey that was consumed at the party. The complaint says several witnesses reported that Caceres drank a large amount from the bottle.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Lottery is still searching for the winner of a $16.5 million Hot Lotto jackpot, who has a year to claim the prize.
The lucky ticket for the Dec. 29 drawing was bought at a QuikTrip convenience store in Des Moines.
Lottery CEO Terry Rich says it's possible the winner doesn't know they're won the prize.
The jackpot is the third-largest prize ever offered in the game.
The winning numbers were: 3, 12, 16, 26, 33 and Hot Ball 11. The money will be forfeited if the prize isn't claimed.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Legislature is set to end in a month, and lawmakers acknowledge they can't claim many accomplishments so far.
House Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer says that's to be expected because there were so many new lawmakers this session. She noted about one-third of House members were serving their first term. And the members were dealing with a governor who returned to office after a 12-year absence.
Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal says Republican control in the House and Democratic control in the Senate also has made it harder to find areas of agreement.
The session is scheduled to end April 29. In the last month, lawmakers will focus on redistricting and approving budget bills.
OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) The Ottumwa school district will be admitting a sex offender who the superintendent says will be attended by a full-time paraprofessional.
The Ottumwa Courier says Superintendent Jon Sheldahl recommended the admittance of a student who must be listed on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry. The school board approved the proposal at its meeting Monday night.
Sheldahl described the person as a special-education student who ``doesn't appear to be at a risk'' of reoffending. Sheldahl says the student will be directly supervised by adults at all times.
The superintendent would not name the student.
Sheldahl told the board things went fine in 2006, the last time a sex offender enrolled in the district.
AMES, Iowa (AP) Police are having difficulty notifying family members about the weekend death of a woman in a wheelchair who was killed by train at an Ames crossing.
Police Cmdr. Jim Robinson said Tuesday that the woman was in her 40s and had moved to Ames from elsewhere in Iowa only in the last week of her life. Her relatives haven't contacted, so police aren't releasing her name.
Robinson also says more than witness reported that it looked to them like the woman moved into the crossing intent on committing suicide. He says investigators aren't discounting the possibility but have not reached a conclusion.
The Ames Tribune says the man who called 911 to report the accident said the woman wheeled herself in front of the train.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) An Iowa official says the slightly higher radiation levels being detected in the state are nothing to worry about.
Melanie Rasmusson is chief of the state Department of Public Health's bureau of radiological health. She says the readings point to normal fluctuations in background radiation levels in the soil and the environment.
Rasmusson says slightly elevated readings were expected following the release of radioactive particles into the air at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. But she says there's no way to positively link the Iowa readings with the Japanese problem.
Traces of radioactive material from the Japanese plant are being detected from coast to coast in the United States and in Iceland, but experts say the amounts are far below levels that would cause health problems.

David Gomez has been named to the All-Louisiana Second Team.
April 8, 2007
New Orleans - Tulane University junior David Gomez has been named to the 2007 Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) second team, it was announced today by the LSWA.
A 6'8" forward from Baton Rouge, La., Gomez averaged started 27 of 30 games and led the Green Wave in scoring (13.5), rebounding (5.8), field goals (148), free throws (106) and was second in blocks (42) en route to earning All-Conference USA Third Team accolades.
He reached double figures in 22 games, including two 30-point performances, and registered three double-doubles. He completed the season ranked among C-USA's top-10 for field goal percentage, free throw percentage, blocked shots, and defensive rebounds.
Gomez's steady play helped Tulane to a 17-13 overall record, the most wins in one season since the 1999-2000 campaign when the Wave chalked up a 20-11 record, and TU advanced to the Conference USA Tournament semifinals for the first time since 2000.
He scored a career-best 32 points at cross-town rival New Orleans, and reached the 30-point plateau for the first time in his collegiate career earlier in the season at former C-USA member, TCU.
Gomez will begin his senior season needing just 83 points to become the 29th player in school history to score 1,000 career points.
The team members are nominated by the sports information directors at the state men's basketball-playing schools and then voted on by members of the LSWA.

You may remember a previous post about Andy, my son born with a profound disability, who broke his leg March 3, but was not diagnosed until July through a series of medical "malpractice" events.
My wife (RN, Certified Case Manager, and former case file reviewer for attorneys in malpractice suits) just finished our review of Andy's medical records around this event, and WOW, did they dig themselves a big hole. This will likely result in a formal complaint to the Medical Board regarding the hospital and certain MD's.
In any event, we came back yesterday from Andy's 8 week checkup for the major repair of his broken femur, which was broken March 3rd.
Here is my report:
His leg has totally healed, and he is cleared to begin to learn to walk again.
I would like to say a very positive word about Colorado Limb and Preservation Specialists, and especially Dr. Hugate.
WOW!! What a great MD. Kind, caring, brilliant, skilled. Throughout the entire process we feel he was the only Doc who really saw our family and care provider as a "team," and while the other docs were urging us to place Andy in a nursing home, etc., and one home health care agency would not take us, he could see that we had the spirit and will power to pull this off.
And, thanks to our caregiver (who got the "Caregiver of the Year" award from the Colorado Cross Disabilities Coalition), our family and many others, we did.
The doc was also amazed at how fast Andy healed - said it was most unusual, and must be the "genes."
Our next challenge is reteaching Andy to walk. "One step at a time."

UPDATE 18/09 15:15: Philip Taylor has released a statement regarding his comments (see below)
A Tory councillor has sparked controversy after suggesting that "silly old fart" David Attenborough should commit suicide after the broadcaster said overpopulation was reaching disastrous levels.
Attenborough was discussing the sending of food aid to Africa, a practice he described as "barmy".
He told the Daily Telegraph: "What are all these famines in Ethiopia, what are they about?
Attenborough is often described as a "national treasure"
"They're about too many people for too little land. That's what it's about. And we are blinding ourselves."
Soon after Ealing Councillor, Phil Taylor, made his views on the comments known on Twitter.
Phil Taylor
Switzerland is well known as a destination for those wishing to commit assisted suicide at the Dignitas clinic.
It is not known if anyone has ever referred to Mr Taylor as a "national treasure"
Taylor was immediately deluged with tweets calling his comments "disgraceful", "horrible" and "unnecessary".
Jane Salisbury
Julian Bell
Chris Coulson
Writing on his blog, Taylor said: "Today I have created a bit of a storm with a comment I made on Twitter about David Attenborough. It was an off the cuff, ironic comment and I didn't set out to make anyone miserable.
"If David Attenborough is unhappy I am sorry. I don't suppose he expects to comment on such contentious topics as population control and not get a strong response.
"The background to this is that David Attenborough has for many years been a patron of the Optimum Population Trust which now calls itself Population Matters. My tweet reflected my frustration with Attenborough repeatedly using his "national treasure" status to promote a set of views that see people as being a problem. His prescriptions seem always to apply to other people.
"My view of the world is that we have to work out how to make sure that the 9 billion people who will populate the world by 2050 all have a good life. They all have hopes and dreams and don't need to be told what to do by Attenborough and his organisation.
"I won't be discussing this incident any more."
George Bush was quick to praise Director of FEMA, Michael Brown, for his handling of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. However it quickly transpired his complete incompetence and mismanagement of the situation contributed to the deaths of 1,833 people and reduced New Orleans to a ruin from yet it is still fully to recover. Brown resigned shortly after.
In 1990 John Gummer shamelessly used his four-year-old daughter as a televised political pawn in demonstrating the UK had nothing to fear from contracting BSE from eating beef. Eight years and 32 deaths later the former agriculture minister said: "Adults, about themselves, may take a certain kind of risk. "They smoke and of all sorts of things. The only fair question, I think, before I made a comment to the public was that I thought this was safe for my children to eat."
Yes you did Bill, yes you bloody well did...
And so said Obama as he signed an executive order to close Guantanamo Bay in 2009. Over four years later the prison camp remains open with 166 prisoners 86 of whom have been cleared for release but are stuck in a legal limbo with nowhere to go. Many are currently on hunger strike in a desperate attempt to highlight their plight.
Brown said this in 2006. Two years later the entire world imploded as banks collapsed, recession hit and we all walked sombrely into a future of unemployment, austerity and George Osborne's face.
Shortly after making this bold statement in September 2010 Cameron and his colleagues managed to steer the economy into a double-dip recession.
Steel's rallying call to the newly formed SDP-Liberal Alliance in 1981 was a tad premature. Fired up by the Falklands war, Britain's electorate opted for another term of Thatcher.
Said at the height of the Watergate scandal, a subsequent investigation found that Nixon was indeed, a crook.
In 1988 Currie, then health minister, announced most of the country's eggs were infected with salmonella. This caused outrage amongst farmers and to make amends she started the National Egg Awareness Campaign in 1990 in an attempt to reassure the public. (To be fair to Eggwina, in 2001 a covered-up government report revealed there had indeed been a "salmonella epidemic of considerable proportions").
After returning from this 1938 conference with some decidedly shifty looking chaps, British PM, Neville Chamberlain, (far left) declared he had appeased a rather tetchy Hitler and brought peace to Europe. A year later the most devastating conflict the world has ever seen broke out bringing global bloodshed, the Holocaust and nuclear war. Told you they were shifty.

"Last Crusade" Sam RobertsEvan Cranley (Stars): "What a guy! We trained together in Montreal before the Juno Cup this year. The man, the myth, the music. Go Habs go!"
"Kindergarten" ZeusListen AJ Johnson (Cuff the Duke): "This song makes me drive fast, does the same for my skating."
"Whistleblower" Arkells
Listen Dustin Bentall: "Arkells rock so hard, and this tune directs a bit of attention to the unsung heroes on the ice: the refs!
"(I Feel Like)(Gerry)Cheevers(Stitch Marks on My Heart)" Chixdiggit @flanneltom: "That song gave me the mental tenacity to finish the tree planting season instead of quitting early."
"He Looked A Lot Like Tiger Williams" The Hanson BrothersListen Grant Lawrence: "My all-time favourite hockey song named after one of my all-time favourite players, #22, Tiger Williams, the heart and soul for any team he played for, which included the Vancouver Canucks during their first-ever run for the Stanley Cup."

"It is known that the human being is subject to and affected by all kinds of emotions. For some reason, emotions will take hold of one's mind and then affect that person emotionally and physically. Concept-Therapy gives anyone, first, the tools to understand the emotion involved and also an understanding of how the emotion sets in the mind. More specifically, it shows how emotion involves itself with the factors of the personality. Once the factors of the personality are understood, the individual, with understanding, becomes in control of his or her mind and emotions. This opens up some peace in one's life."
"This is a great work for anyone who seeks perfect health at every level."

Marie-Lou Teasdale was introduced to Concept-Therapy in 2000 at age 18, becoming a teacher in 2005. As a massage therapist, she applies the whole being wellness principles of this teaching to help patients and students achieve total health from a structured perspective.
Kathleen Dufour discovered Concept-Therapy in 2001. In her 20+ year career in communications and customer service, she greatly benefited from the profound understanding of people taught in the philosophy. She received her teaching certification in 2011.
Both teams teach in the greater Montreal (Québec) area and will travel to your location to teach a class!
Masche-Loofboro Teaching Team; Southern Wisconsin
Drs. Jack and Jackie Masche have taught Concept-Therapy for many years and are assisted by Jackie's mom, Gwen Loofboro, who is 93 and still going strong—physically and mentally.
The Masches are in private practice in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Both doctors graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Their specialty is Health and Wellness based on Dr. Fleet's Health Zone Analysis and the Laws of our Being.
"We stay healthy for a living and do our best to help others do the same."
Dr. Conrad Schenk was the instigator for getting both Gwen Loofboro and her late husband, Dr. Vic, into Concept-Therapy and encouraging them to help him teach Concept-Therapy. They appreciated his encouragement. Gwen is still in contact with many students who attended the Psychiatric Principles classes the Loofboro Team taught in Canada and the United States. Twenty-three years of teaching Concept-Therapy on the road really kept them organized, along with running their full time chiropractic office during the week.
Gwen is active in the Milwaukee Beam Club and Pathseeker Club. Gwen also makes amazing greeting cards. She definitely has a flair for color and design.
Gwen lives in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and turns 93 years young this August. She lives with her daughter, Beverly, and works at the Loofboro Chiropractic Office.
Concept-Therapy and its teaching have been and still are a great part of her life, and she appreciates the wonderful lessons written by Dr. Fleet that will be of benefit for future generations.
Mattox Team; Central Texas, International
Charles W. Mattox, Jr. (Char) was first exposed to Concept-Therapy at 2 years old when his family took some of the first courses offered to laymen, and his family enrolled him in a formal class at 14. At 19, he became the youngest Concept-Therapy teacher to teach consistently (15-40 classes per year). In 1975, Char was appointed by Dr. Fleet as Coordinator of Instruction for the Concept-Therapy Institute in Southern California. He served on the Institute's Board of Directors for over 20 years.
Char married Emily Dill in 1980 and now, nearly 600 classes later, with Emily and others, he is still teaching this "correlation of the wisdom of the ages" to seeking, thinking individuals from all walks of life.
Char's academic and professional background includes a BA degree in Economics and Business Administration, an MA from Chapman University, and he pursued doctoral study in management at the Claremont Graduate School and the University of Southern California. He taught economics and business at the university level for over 25 years in addition to serving in a variety of university administrative positions.
"I have had the opportunity to travel around the world and have gained a tremendous appreciation for the differences and similarities of peoples from many different cultures. My searching for the core principles common to all people led me directly back to Concept-Therapy's key principles, which I continue to explore and share in classes. Concept-Therapy's teaching of a Philosophy or Way of Life is the answer to humanity's searching for that which can bring health, happiness, success, and peace as a unit. Dr. Thurman Fleet's work needs to be preserved and heard. That is why I teach."
Emily Mader Dill Mattox was privileged to start studying Concept-Therapy while in high school. It served her very well as she continued college studies through her Master's Degree in Education, as her academic studies verified what she was learning through her Concept-Therapy studies. At that time, Emily was also working with Dr. Herbert Dill in his chiropractic office in upstate New York, applying Concept-Therapy principles in healing. She also assisted Dr. Dill in teaching Concept-Therapy in New York State and throughout New England. She took Teachers' Training at Aum-Sat-Tat Ranch in 1965, immediately after her honeymoon with Dr. Dill.
In 1968, Dr. Dill followed his dream to teach Concept-Therapy full-time, and the couple moved to the CTI Campus where they were asked by Dr. Fleet to teach in the greater Southwest territory. In 1972, Dr. Fleet trained them to teach the first class in Cosmic Principles in March 1973. They continued full-time teaching (23-30 classes/year) until Dr. Dill's death in 1979.
Emily and Char Mattox married and continued teaching Concept-Therapy, which he had been doing in California and with the Dill Team in the Southwest when possible. They have two daughters who have been raised at the CTI Campus and are living productive lives of their own following their college degrees.
"I teach Concept-Therapy and all of its affiliated coursework because it is greatly needed in the world. It brings order out of chaos and answers questions for lifelong seekers and those who just want a better, more productive life. It is a tribute to humanity."
Parisi Teaching Team; Western Pennsylvania and Surrounding States
Dr. Frank Parisi is a Concept-Therapy teacher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He took his first Concept-Therapy class in January of 1965, and he became a Zone Chiropractor in that same year. Frank completed Teachers' Training in 1975 and has been teaching in Pittsburgh and across the country ever since.
Frank still runs his successful chiropractic practice in Pittsburgh.
"Dr. Fleet brought to the world the absolute greatest knowledge. The aspiring Soul, who takes this knowledge and applies it, can climb from the Pit of Ignorance to the fourth dimensional plane of Cosmic Consciousness."
Sanders Teaching Team; Central Texas
Buford Sanders teaches Concept-Therapy and Conceptology along with his wife, Peggy. Buford came into Concept-Therapy in 1988 and attended Teachers Training in 1993. Buford is a retired engineer in communications and currently works in the CTI Information Technology Department. Peggy came into Concept-Therapy in 1977, and attended Teachers Training in 1979. Buford and Peggy became full-time ranch residents in 2003. Peggy is a retired communications supervisor and is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. She does volunteer work with CTI and is a regular speaker at area meetings and conventions. Peggy lends a hand to "whatever post is vacant in the household of the 'X'." In addition, Peggy is in charge of Buford.
Buford and Peggy have received all the awards Concept-Therapy bestows, including the "0" award.
"We teach to share the tools we have received that make our life better."
Turner Teaching Team; Midwestern U.S.
Rita Turner attended her first Concept-Therapy course in Iowa in 1969 with instructor Leon Turner. In 1970, Rita was cured of an "incurable" lung disease and severe heart condition, and she has maintained GOOD HEALTH ever since. She has studied and taught Concept-Therapy for the 43 years since then.
In 1974, Rita married Leon and soon after took the Teachers' Training and Advanced Teachers' Training courses. The Turner Team went on to present hundreds of classes and lectures and attended Teachers' Training courses along with their students.
Jean Dulany, Rita's niece and teaching partner, joined Rita in teaching after Leon passed away in 1997.
Concept-Therapy teaches the Laws of the Personality and the Laws of the Universe. This dynamic teaching brings health instead of illness, abundance instead of poverty, peace and happiness instead of discord and confusion. It teaches LAWFUL LIVING.
"The reason I teach the CONCEPT-THERAPY PHILOSOPHY IS BECAUSE IT SAVED MY LIFE."
Jean M. Dulany took her first Concept-Therapy class in February 1976. She completed all of the courses in Concept-Therapy and became a certified teacher in July 1981. Jean first taught with the Dulany/Mohr Teaching Team, beginning with their first Concept-Therapy class in August 1981.
Jean completed the Teacher Training class again in 1986 with her husband, David D. Dulany, and began teaching with him as the Dulany Teaching Team. Currently, she teaches with the Turner Teaching Team in Iowa. The team teaches in the Midwest, but is willing to travel to teach in other areas.
For the past 13 years, Jean has been working at the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center Headquarters in Davenport, Iowa.
"Concept-Therapy has given me an understandable and logical path of progression by defining the Laws of Life to realize growth on all levels of existence."
Ronald E. Zidian; Ohio and Surrounding States
Ron Zidian "experienced" his first class in Concept-Therapy in 1984 and followed by taking all the classes the Concept-Therapy Institute has to offer. He took Teachers' Training in 1987 and, with his belated wife Helene, taught all the Concept-Therapy and Conceptology coursework. He is still at the center of an active Beam Club and teaches regularly.
Ron earned a master's degree in Counseling/Personnel and undertook post-graduate studies in philosophy, theology, and psychology. He was a priest before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor.
"I can never see myself not studying Concept-Therapy and Conceptology for my personal growth in consciousness and sharing it with others by teaching it."

So I'm new to Ada, and I'm attempting to write a kernel in it, but I cannot seem to find any good information on how to do this properly. In C, I would write:
unsigned char* videoram = (char*) 0xB8000;
videoram[0] = 65;
to access the video ram directly and write 'a' to it. I've heard I need to use an Ada array and other pragma's to do this in a typesafe manner in Ada. Is there any good resources on this kind of Ada programming?

With nearly half of its season already in the books, a water park in Kansas has been forced to delay the opening of the world's tallest water slide for the third time and hasn't set a new date for its debut.
Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City announced Thursday that Verruckt, a 17-story, 168-foot-tall water slide, would not open on Sunday as scheduled. The park's news release did not give a reason for the latest delay, although earlier this week two media sneak preview days were canceled because of problems with a conveyor system that hauls 100-pound rafts to the top of the slide.
Verruckt, which means "insane" in German, was certified as the world's tallest water slide in April by Guinness World Records. The slide sends riders on four-person rafts plummeting at 60 mph to 70 mph.

Hospital Impact has been ranked one of the top 50 healthcare blogs by Wikio.
Blogs we like:
Since the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in June and Obama's re-election this month, it is clear, that for at least the next four years, the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will stand with the exception of the mandate to expand Medicaid to 133 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) in 2014.
This article outlines the fundamental components of the ACA and the affect they will likely have over the next four years.
I. Insurance Reform
At the heart of this law is insurance reform as, of all the industrialized nations, we have the largest private sector third-party coverage of any healthcare system in the world. This is a historic federalism versus state rights conflict that has defined our nation throughout our entire history and continues to divide us politically, as evidenced in the recent presidential election.
The key components of insurance reform include:
II. Quality Improvement
Utilizing World Health Organization (WHO) or Commonwealth Fund data, the United States has quality metrics that average 37th in the world. This is because our traditional fee-for-service payment methodology does not provide adequate reimbursement for preventive or ambulatory services and over-emphasizes procedures and ancillary testing provided in an inpatient setting.
Thus, we rank high in many critical care and surgical services, but rank low in overall morbidity and mortality rates due our lack of comprehensive horizontally integrated healthcare services that extend far beyond our hospital borders. Parts of the ACA seek to address the quality aspects of this deficit by the following:
III. Payment Cuts
We spend approximately 18.4 percent of our gross domestic product (GDP) on healthcare, which is almost double that of any other industrialized nation. Part A of the Medicare Trust Fund is due to go bankrupt in 2017. Thus, the following cuts are included in the ACA:
IV. Healthcare Reform
The need to offer higher healthcare quality and service at lower costs requires incentives for innovative delivery systems and new ways of working with fewer resources. Thus, the ACA encourages the following innovative models through the creation of "shared savings" programs that reward organizations that achieve pre-defined quality metrics at lower costs and other pay-for-value reimbursement methodologies:
The ACA is a complex law that combines systemic, payment and insurance reforms with a greater focus on optimizing quality and reducing costs. Its complexity is magnified by the incremental ways in which the law takes effect each year, subject to administrative regulations by HHS and the inevitable political winds that pit those for and against public versus private markets and federal versus state control to either accelerate or decelerate the implementation process.
Either way, healthcare is both an economic and quality challenge in the guise of a political conflict that must be addressed over the coming decade through both the ACA and the subsequent healthcare reform laws that follow.

It's hard out there for a Lynch, it seems. As the waiting game for a new feature from the director inches closer to the decade mark, it doesn't seem like we'll see anything from him any time soon, at least not the on the big screen. While rumors pop up every now and then that he's got something cooking (earlier this year, word had it that he was working on a "typically dark" script), there doesn't seem to have been any real concrete movement and Lynch doesn't feel like the current system is conducive to his type of filmmaking.
"It's a very depressing picture. With alternative cinema – any sort of cinema that isn't mainstream – you're fresh out of luck in terms of getting theatre space and having people come to see it. Even if I had a big idea, the world is different now," the filmmaker recently told The Independent. "Unfortunately, my ideas are not what you'd call commercial, and money really drives the boat these days. So I don't know what my future is. I don't have a clue what I'm going to be able to do in the world of cinema."
And we gotta say he's not wrong, and it's a sad picture. Even within the indie realm, it's hard to imagine who would front the money for Lynch to go make another "Inland Empire" -- it's hard to conceive of a movie like that getting made today, unless it's done wholly outside the system (see Shane Carruth's "Upstream Color"). Even then, where it would play? New York and Los Angeles? Maybe a few other major cities and then it would be shuffled off to VOD land, which doesn't seem to be the right place for someone like Lynch, where almost every element of his films are calibrated for seeing them on a big screen. While those in our comments section will undoubtedly yell out for Megan Ellison to come to the rescue, even the mega-rich producer knows she can't live on bankrolling arthouse movies. There's a reason she bought the rights and is producing "Terminator 5."
So yeah sing a sad song for Lynch and the possibility that we might not get another movie from the man. But there's always his coffee and music career....right? But before we get too bummed out, Lynch does have a bit more hope for TV. "I like the idea of a continuing story," he said. "And television is way more interesting than cinema now. It seems like the art-house has gone to cable." Are you listening HBO, AMC etc?

Homesick for our true home
Faith & Inspiration
We're driving to Mount Evans, Colo., on the highest roadway in North America when it hits me: I'm homesick.
This is backward, of course, because Colorado is my home state and Kansas my reluctantly adopted current state. I should be feeling homesick in Kansas, not among the pines and aspens in some of the prettiest country in the world.
It's no coincidence that—to avoid looking out the window at the sheer guardrail-free drop off to my left—I am reading Rod Dreher's The Little Way of Ruthie Leming (and crying behind my sunglasses), which is, among other things, a story about homecoming. Dreher is a typical American, meaning he left home after high school and moved around a lot. Over the course of his story (no spoilers here), he realizes the value of home, of living in a close-knit community, especially when life gets hard.
Because it will get hard.
Here I am right in the middle of what's supposed to be home and missing my blue house on the prairie where temperatures this time of year are miserable. What has happened to me?
It's also no coincidence that last week I finished rereading Frederick Buechner's book of sermons, Secrets in the Dark. In a chapter titled "Longing for Home," he ponders what home means and why it is that, years after we've left a place, we long for home the rest of our lives.
What is this deep hunger really for? Why is it that even if/when we return to what each of us considers home, it doesn't quite fit the bill, the magical expectation of yesteryear where days were longer, nights more star-filled, dreams more vivid, food tastier?
Buechner, who articulates this longing better than anyone I've read, concludes it is because our true homeland is Christ and any "home" other than Him will disappoint.
Dreher admits this, and anyone who's lived in a small town knows it, too. Small towns, small communities, even small groups at church can be wonderful, safe places where friends bring chicken potpies to the sick and you don't have to beg to get a babysitter. But living in community is also hard. With closeness comes gossip, pigeonholing, assumptions, busybodyness, and a host of other potential problems. Life together, as Dietrich Bonhoeffer calls it, is nothing if not messy. But when tragedy strikes, it is a salvation. As Dreher writes, "We're leaning, but we're leaning on each other."
This morning a small community in Morrill, Maine—the place in this world that, for me, most closely approaches the meanings of both heaven and home—will be leaning hard on each other following the death of one of their beloved lifelong residents. My cousin Rowena was what some call "good people." A rock of a woman who left college to nurse her dying mother, annually planted a gigantic garden she watered with leftover dishwater, and brought plates of "biscuit" when weary travelers like myself arrived in town, Rowena epitomized joy. Her life was a hardscrabble one, like many in the backwoods of Maine, but she never left. She knew the value of home and stuck it out there, like her parents and grandparents and great grandparents before her, working and serving wherever she could.
Last night my cousin discovered the reality of what Buechner wrote about and what we on this side of the veil ache for: Home is Christ.
Welcome home, Rowena.

Florida House members straggled back to Tallahassee after just four days off for a brief kick-off to an "extraordinary" special session followed by an update from their lawyer about the Senate's faulty legislative maps.
The Florida Supreme Court signed off on the House's newly drawn maps but rejected eight of the Senate's proposed 40 districts, meaning the upper chamber will have to do the heavy lifting for the next 10 days.
House Speaker Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, told happy House members they won't have to return to the Capitol next week but to be prepared to come back on March 26-28 to finalize the Senate's new plan.
The House's redistricting lawyer George Meros will give the redistricting committee an update on what the court found wrong with the Senate maps this afternoon.
House Redistricting Committee Chairman Will Weatherford said he's working with his Senate counterpart Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, and trusts the Senate to abide by the court's directions on how to fix the maps.
"I am confident in the Senate's ability," incoming House Speaker Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, said. "We're working with them. We have a good conversation going with them. We're showing deference to them but certainly we have opinions about how the Senate maps should look…. But I think the court gave some pretty specific recommendations. It's my understanding that they're taking those recommendations seriously."
A visit from Florida State University basketball coach Leonard Hamilton provided the highlight of the 11-minute floor session. Hamilton stuck around for photos with members after being introduced by Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City, the "Seminole Caucus" cheerleader-in-chief.
The Seminoles won the ACC championship this week, and Hamilton, in his tenth year as head coach at FSU, was recently named the ACC coach of the year.
"Today we proudly send our Seminoles to Nashville for the first rounds of the NCAA tournament and wish them the best against St. Bonaventure, wherever that is," Patronis said.
Rep. Mack Bernard, D-West Palm Beach, also took a moment on the floor to give his legislative aide Jacquet a shout-out. Jacquet yesterday defeated three other candidates to win a seat on the Delray Beach City Commission.

By Stephen J. Thomas
BRISBANE, Australia, March 9. JUST four weeks ago, Aussie distance king Grant Hackett spent two days in a hospital recovering from pneumonia after a secondary infection developed from a sinus condition he had tried to 'work through' during heavy training. For a brief moment it may have appeared that the 23-year-old 1500m freestyle world record-holder with an eight-year undefeated record over the 30-lap race had left the door ajar, even if just a little way, to his distance rivals for the Big Race in August.
Yesterday Hackett pulled the door firmly shut when he swam very swift times for both the 200 and 400 free at a metropolitan meet in Brisbane to show he was well recovered from the health scare last month. The Queenslander went a very hot 3:46.01 – a time that would have been still good enough for him to take the silver he ultimately won in 3:45.17 at the World Champs in Barcelona last year. Hackett swam a controlled race, splitting 1:52.4/1:53.6 for the distance.
Despite having to wait over three hours, Hackett clocked 1:47.48 for the four-lap race to beat 18-year-old Nick Sprenger (1:51.88), his gold medal teammate from the 800 relay in Barcelona. Hackett went 1:46.85 to take the 200 free bronze in Barcelona with his PR 1:45.84 from the '02 Pan Pacs.
"It was a fraction better than we expected," Hackett's coach Denis Cotterell told SwimInfo.
"I wasn't quite sure where his level would be at the weekend. Grant missed a couple of sessions due to the sinus problem this past week so overall it was a very solid effort. He had a slightly easier week in training leading up to the weekend and we begin his taper for the (Olympic) trials today," he said.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In this work secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), variable angle spectroscopy ellipsometry (VASE) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to investigate the structure, composition and morphology of multilayer SRON films. Three/four SRON sequential layers were deposited on silicon wafers by PECVD and silicon, nitrogen and oxygen content was varied by changing the N2O/SiH4 ratio. The total thickness of the resulting SRON stack is about 50nm. SIMS analyses of NCs+, OCs+, SiCs+, in MCs+ methodology are performed by a Cameca SC-ultra instrument. Depth profiles are obtained at 500eV of primary beam impact energy with sample rotation. An approximate method to obtain silicon concentration is used. Total layer thickness are obtained from both SIMS and VASE measurements. In addition, we compare the thickness of the single layers obtained from VASE with the SIMS depth profiles. A detailed analysis of films morphology is obtained by AFM. The SRON stack is sputtered by SIMS until a certain layer is exposed, which is then analyzed by AFM. The sputtered layers are then etched in HF solution to better resolve the exposed nano-crystals.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Recent results on the photoluminescence properties of silicon nanocrystals embedded in silicon oxide are reviewed and discussed. The attention is focused on Si nanocrystals produced by high-temperature annealing of silicon rich oxide layers deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The influence of deposition parameters and layer thickness is analyzed in detail. The nanocrystal size can be roughly controlled by means of Si content and annealing temperature and time. Unfortunately, a technique for independently fine tuning the emission efficiency and the size is still lacking; thus, only middle size nanocrystals have high emission efficiency. Interestingly, the layer thickness affects the nucleation and growth kinetics so changing the luminescence efficiency.
Article: Analytical Methodology Development for Silicon-rich-oxide Chemical and Physical Characterization[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Silicon-rich-oxide (SRO) layers and silicon nano-crystals (Si-nc) have been gaining par-ticular attention for their optoelectronic properties. Analytical techniques as secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS), variable angle spectroscopy ellipsometry (VASE) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were considered in this work as helpful ways to obtain the required characterization of these materials. SRO different films were deposited on Si wafers by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and varying the ratio between SiH 4 , N 2 O and NH 3 . Then they were analyzed by SIMS and XPS, which combine the chemical physical ana-lytical techniques requested to provide quantitative and accurate results. Besides the high preci-sion of SIMS profiles, the accuracy of the data in SRO is marked as a difficult task, because of different matrices in different films. Therefore a fit equation for silicon SIMS depth profiles quanti-fication in SRO is proposed. The physic-chemical data were related to VASE measurements. Furthermore the structural properties of silicon nano-crystals were investigated by AFM. The de-veloped methodology confirms undoubtedly the Si-nc growth.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The characteristics of silicon-nitride films deposited with plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) can vary not only in composition, but also in terms of physical properties. An important parameter in the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices is the control and tailoring of the film stress. In fact, silicon-nitride film stress can vary from tensile (up to 800 MPa) to compressive (−500 MPa), depending on the PECVD deposition conditions (e.g. plasma pressure, plasma frequency and power). In this work, we have investigated the role of frequency mixing on the resulting film structure and stress. The layers were prepared with a commercial PECVD deposition chamber, keeping all deposition parameters constant except the ratio between low (380 kHz) and high (13.56 MHz) frequency. Film stress values were compared with compositional and chemical data from X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) measurements. These two techniques are complementary. The comparison between quantified SIMS depth profiles and the XPS HF etch-back method shows a good agreement in nitrogen profile behaviour. In addition, XPS analyses have provided a suitable chemical characterisation of the different growth processes. We demonstrate that this analytical approach is really effective for the physico-chemical characterisation of PECVD grown silicon nitride. Copyright
Article: A Characterization of Injection, Transport an Excitation Mechanisms in Si-nc based MOS-LEDs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We study the effect on a LED of a controlled insertion of N in Si oxide containing Si nanocrystals. Nitrogen lowers the electronic potential barrier, thus increasing the carrier injection. Electroluminescence spectroscopy suggests that both electron and hole injection can be observed
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A Fabry-Perot optical microcavity based on liquid crystal infiltration integrated in a waveguide has been designed and fabricated. Careful optimization of the cavity geometry allows designing a device with a simulated resonance peak transmission of 95% with a linewidth of about 1.7nm. Based on this simulation, a first prototype has been fabricated and tested.
Conference Paper: Optical characterization of silicon nitride low-loss waveguides in the near infrared range[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper reports on Si3N4/SiO2 multilayer waveguides to increase the optical confinement factor and, as consequence, to reduce optical losses.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Si3N4/SiO2 waveguides have been fabricated by low pressure chemical vapor deposition within a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor fabrication pilot line. Propagation losses for different waveguide geometries (channel and rib loaded) have been measured in the near infrared as a function of polarization, waveguide width, and light wavelength. A maximum thickness of single Si3N4 of 250 nm is allowed by the large stress between Si3N4 and SiO2. This small thickness turns into significant propagation losses at 1544 nm of about 4.5 dB/cm because of the poor optical mode confinement factor. Strain release and control is possible by using multilayer waveguides by alternating Si3N4 and SiO2 layers. In this way, propagation losses of about 1.5 dB/cm have been demonstrated thanks to an improved optical mode confinement factor and the good quality of the interfaces in the waveguide.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In view of the integration within Si-based optical devices, LPCVD (low-pressure chemical vapor deposition) thin-film Si3N4 waveguides have been fabricated on a Si substrate within a CMOS fabrication pilot-line. Different structures (channel, rib and strip-loaded) were designed, fabricated and characterized both optically and structurally to optimize waveguide performances. Geometry, sidewall as well as layer roughness of the waveguides have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Optical guided modes have been observed and propagation loss measurements at 632.8 and 780 nm have been performed by using the cut-back technique, the insertion loss technique and scattered light collection. The channel waveguides have shown propagation losses of about 0.1–0.2 dB/cm. Differences between geometries and lithographic processes have been discussed. Polarization dependence of propagation losses has been investigated too.Optical guided modes have also been measured in the near-infrared range (at 1544 nm), where propagation losses are about 4.5–5 dB/cm, quite larger with respect to the visible, because of the poorer confinement factor of the optical modes.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible tunable Fabry-Perot microcavities filled with liquid crystals (LCs) were realized and studied in the near-infrared region. The microcavities were produced by chip bonding technique, which allows one to infill LC between two [SiO2/Si]n lambda/4 (lambda = 1.5 mum) Dielectric Bragg Reflectors separated by 950 nm thick SiO2 posts. The Dielectric Bragg reflectors were realized on Si or SiO2 substrates Liquid crystals with positive and negative dielectric anisotropy were used, i.e. MerckE7 (Deltaε=13.8) and Merck-6608 LC (Deltaε=-4.2). Mirror-integrated electrodes allow an external bias to induce an electrical field and to tune the LC properties and, hence, the microcavity resonance. Electric-field-induced shifts of the second-order cavity modes of ~120 nm and ~50 nm were obtained for Merck-E7 and Merck-6608 LC, with driving potentials of 5 V and 10 V, respectively. The transmittance at the cavity resonance is typically in the order of 10%. Simulation of cavities allows to identify surface roughness of the Dielectric-Bragg-Reflectors as the major origin of the transmission losses. The switching behavior of microcavities filled with E7 were studied as function of applied fields. Both switch-on ton and switch-off toff times were measured and were found to be lower than 5 ms.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In this paper we present preliminary results for a PECVD based omnidirectional waveguide in silicon technology that consists of alternating SiO 2 and Si thin films. The light guiding is based on a reflector cladding, which reflects light at any angle or polarisation back into the core.

American Idol
Who Is Ben Briley? American Idol Season 13 Contestant Background Info
American Idol contestant Ben Briley lends a country flavor to this year's show and, as we well know, Idol loves itself a good country singer. With his guitar in hand and his piano skills set, Ben's a talented performer. So much so, that we've heard he makes it into the Top 31 for Season 13. (Not hard to believe after seeing his performance on the February 5 episode of Hollywood Week.)
Back during his audition in Atlanta, as aired during the January 23 episode of Idol, Ben sang a version of Amos Lee's "Arms of a Woman."
"Gumbo came to mind when I was listening to you," Harry Connick Jr said (as a compliment).
"You have kind of a nasally tone, and I kind of love it" added J.Lo.
So who is this baseball cap-lovin' singer? Our friends at American Idol Net say he's a public relations professional who also sings and writes music from his hometown of Gallatin, Tennessee, not far from his alma mater, Middle Tennessee State University. In case you're wondering if this cowboy's found a misses, Ben's got plenty of photos from his brightly colored wedding to share.
Ben also looks to be a big fan of football, particularly of the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Volunteers (which might explain that orange and purple wedding color scheme). Music, however, is how Ben devotes his YouTube channel where he has covers ranging from John Mayer to Elton John. He's also got several classics in his repertoire including "Carolina In My Mind" by James Taylor.
For a sample of this Tennessean's tunes, check out the videos below. Also, for a better sense of what keeps Ben busy, head over to his Twitter. There he gives us the best idea of what matters to Ben Briley: "Music keeps me going. Friends keep me humble. Family keeps me strong."

Paris Airports: Charles de Gaulle and Orly
Paris is served by two major international airports — Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris Orly, administered by Aéroportos de Paris Group. Both airports come with free shuttle services between terminals, above-average services and amenities, like world-class duty-free and luxury shopping, children playgrounds and great dining opportunities, add to this free Wi-Fi in some terminals. The airport staffs are friendly and helpful and their excellent knowledge of the English language makes traveling to and from Paris a pleasant experience for anyone!
Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
Some 23 km (14 miles) northeast of Paris, one can find Charles de Gaulle (sometimes called Aeroport Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle) — the first airport in France in terms of passengers' traffic and one of the busiest airports in the world welcoming more than 59 million passengers annually. The airport began its service on March 8, 1974 and has three terminals or 'aerogares,' which are a fair distance to travel between each.
CDG boasts of a wide range of facilities and services, including money and communications (ATMs, banks and currency exchange offices), conference and business facilities (Terminal 1 has meeting rooms for up to 15 people equipped with VIP lounge), a lost-property office and baggage shipping services, tourist information centers and pharmacies to name a few, as well as plenty of gleaming, sophisticated restaurants (from the grass-covered La Terrasse de Paris to the family-friendly Hippopotamus), plus brandy shopping venues with something for everyone. For disabled travelers, CDG offers reserved parking spaces with the relevant permits at cheaper rates.
Airlines at Paris CDG Airport include: Armavia, Adria Airways, Aer Lingus, Aeroflot, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Cyprus Airways, Finnair, Japan Airlines, Lufthansa, Pegasus Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Cathay Pacific and so on. Popular destinations from this airport are Strasbourg, Montreuil, Paris, Poissy, Bruxelles, Beauvais and Lille. Charles de Gaulle is where most holidays in France begin and end! To get from the airport to your destination, you can rent a car; take a taxi, a train or a bus.
There are nearly 40 hotels in or near Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to suit any need and budget, from the 2 star Comfort Hotel Charles de Gaulle Airport to the 3 star Novotel Aulnay Sous Boise to luxury hotels of Mercure Paris Roissy Charles de Gaulle, Radisson Blu Charles de Gaulle Airport and Sheraton Paris Airport Hotel & Conference Center.
Paris Orly
Orly is the second largest airport in Paris serving around 35 million passengers each year. Unlike Charles de Gaulle, Orly is slightly closer to the city (some 13 km (8 miles) to the south), and primarily handles domestic flights (including Air France) and international destinations around the Mediterranean, as well as long haul flights and plenty of low-cost carriers. The airport serves around 30 airlines and is and has two terminals: South and West, each linked to two short-term car parks.
As Paris Orly Airport is within the urban conurbation surrounding Paris, it is far easier to access by public transport from the city. There are hotels situated nearby, offering comfortable accommodation, business services and more, most accessible via free shuttle services from Orly South.
One surprising thing about the airport is that when boarding a flight, you'll be greeted by a 'virtual' agent, which isn't a real person and takes on the appearance of a 2D hologram.
Wish you good flights to and from the City of Lights!

As snow fell Thursday, weather related accidents kept emergency responders hopping.
Kentucky State Police Public Affairs Officer Michael Webb spent most of the day on the road. Webb, who updated the Local on road conditions around 2 p.m. from the road, and advised drivers to avoid traveling on I-71 anywhere in Henry County this afternoon and evening.
"For all intents and purposes this is not where motorists want to be," Webb said. "It's moving like pond water. We still have several issues to address."

According to a report released by the Surgeon General two years ago a young person commits suicide every two hours in our country. In fact, suicide now claims the lives of more adolescents than any disease or natural cause. It should also be noted that adolescents commit suicide at a higher rate than that of any other age group. What is even more alarming is there are even more suicidal attempts and gestures than there are actual completed suicides.
Four days after the first boys' basketball Litkenhous Ratings of the season were released, the Courier-Jurnal revealed the first girls' list. For the two high schools in Henry County, the results were the same.
The Henry girls are 11th among 8th Region teams and the Eminence girls are 16th — the exact same spots as their counterparts. There are 16 teams in the region.
The Litkenhous Ratings are a computerized formula that ranks the state's teams based on record, strength of schedule and other factors against in-state schools.

Judge Jerry D.
Crosby II
Luther Kirk, 1958, charge from 8/16; speeding 21 miles per hour over, continued to 11/9.
Lester V. Mack Jr., 1990, charges from 7/24: operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs, BAC .08, first offense, dismissed; careless driving, guilty, state traffic school, fines and costs $243, show cause hearing 12/21.
I am writing about the appellate court that granted the (Danny) May appeal. I think you did a great job in your story. I hope that everyone who read that article will see that there are a lot of people that are not getting a fair deal. And thank God someone from the Court of Appeals took time to research May's court record, and found in his favor. Glory be to God in the highest. I hope that everyone will respond to that article.
Leora Curry
I am writing in regard to the May appeal story because I am one of the few people who have seen the records that exist which contain certain statements made by the state that are in my opinion very wrong for a person of the court to make when they are involved in the case that decides the fate of that person.
The 2009 Wildcats were at the top of their game. They claimed the District Four championship to guarantee home field advantage in the state playoffs. They won a school-record 10 games with an impressive 10-3 mark — only Somerset at 14-1 and Mason County at 11-1 were better in Class 3-A. They beat Moore in the first round of the playoffs. They beat Elizabethtown in the second round. They reached the state quarterfinals for just the second time in school history.

Visit Danny Oceans Adventures
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
I'm sure some of you were hoping to see George Clooney sex tapes or even better, Frank Sinatra ones (we all know the rumors about Frank having a large penis). However, Danny Oceans Adventures doesn't feature either of the actors who played the iconic character. Instead, this Danny Ocean is a chubby black dude that, more often than not, wears sunglasses while he fucks.
There are 40 videos so far and each one seems to start off the same way. The scene fades in to find a hot babe (or babes) on a bed. Danny is behind the camera asking them questions and after the "get to know you" process is over he moves to the bed and they get to the sucking and fucking.
This is pretty standard porn action, but it is well filmed and well lit and he does get some hot pornstars on to his bed (the Nina Hartley/Deauxma threesome is damn hot). Some of the chicks take it up the butt and some get a creampie finish.
Site design is all good. When you sign in you will see the latest updates on the homepage and to get to the photos and movies you just need select either section from the top-page menu. In general, navigation is good, but the lack of pagination is a bit of an issue today and will become more so as the site grows.
Speaking of growth, the scenes aren't dated, so I can't tell you how often they are adding new content. What I can tell you, though, is that each video can be downloaded in a good-quality MP4 and the eight photo sets all have high-res images.
I can also tell you that your membership gets you access to the entire network of sites. There are 10 sites in total, including the likes of Addicted To Big Tits and Slant Eye For The White Guy.
As it stands right now, the site is barely big enough to recommend. However, the price tag is below average and there are great bonuses. I can see Danny Oceans Adventures being worth checking out should you be looking for some standard, good-quality interracial sex.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
