Jace Crestwell, Ash McIntyre, and Gabe Hamilton have been best friends and successful business partners for years. They're powerful, they're imposing, they're irresistibly sexy, and Jace and Ash share everything - including their women. When they meet Bethany, Jace begins to feel things he's never experienced before: jealousy and a powerful obsession that threatens him, overwhelms him - and excites him beyond control. Jace isn't sharing Bethany - with anyone. He's determined to be the only man in her life, and it's jeopardizing a lifelong friendship with Ash. Bethany will be his and his alone. Even if it means turning his back on his best friend.

I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"Modern day Cinderella story with a touch of BDSM"
Based on reviews I didn't get the first book in this series, but I don't feel I missed out by not getting it. In saying that, based on reviews I got this one and I did enjoy it. It was a great escape into Bethany's and Jace's world.
Bethany has had such a hard life and she has nothing. Jace is a powerful, wealthy man. The instant he sees Bethany he knows that she is different than any woman he has ever met and he intends for her to belong to him. Now only if he can convince her that she is good enough for him. It's a roller coaster ride of emotions with some hot sex thrown in.
If you're a fan of Maya's then you know her books have erotic content and this is no exception. I agree with fellow reviewers in the opinion that this was well worth my credit.
Like the romance, but love the action involved to get there!
"It was hot but implausible"
I feel I need more categories to rate:
Hot scenes: 5 because OMG the lady can write some good ones!
Writing flow and style: 4 there were several lines used again and again by th main characters so that bugged me, but the story arc went well.
Premise: 0...yes ZERO! I get the whole love at first site concept, and have applauded it in multiple books but in this book we are suppose to believe that first a catering company hired to cater an Engagement party for a millionaire who co owns the hotel the party is being held in...somehow had a homeless person as a waitress? Because high end catering companies frequently employ random people with no background checks for high end parties...and how does someone who is homeless for 4 years in NYC come even close to being not ill and not have any diseases? Oh, and is clean enough and well shaven to have a threesome and no comment is ever made? So the premise is totally absurd! Then this strong willed person who has what it takes to survive is a full on submissive???? Just thankful not to be homeless anymore so she looses all her fight and drive and is happy to be a full submissive from practically day one? Again, totally absurd that a person who has survived on the streets for 4 years would cede control nearly immediately, no trust issues?
I get that the poor girl waitress finds rich guy bit has been done to death and Mrs. Banks didn't want to go there but it's just an absurd premise...oh did I mention that the female lead came into play seconds after Jace told his sister that he was likely never settling down? The absurdity of the premise kind of ruined the book for me, hope Ash's story is a bit more real.
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"Finally! Maya is back on track here!"
This was soooo much better than book 1. This is more of a Maya Banks book I am use too...
Jace, Mia brother from book 1, and his friend Ash usually have 3some... but this time...they have one with a homeless Bethany and Jace falls in love. The raw emotion of this book was so great. Jace and Bethany relationship seem so real... like if a billionaire was to fall in love with a homeless girl...what would they do. Well this book is it. I simply loved it.
Bethany was a very strong character surprisingly... even though she was homeless, she didn't want charity, she had major trust issues and she had someone on the streets she cared about... So good right? Jace's overbearing and controlling ways seem to work out for the couple, but I love how it wasn't a "Pretty Woman' flawless love affair. Like I said... Maya Banks got back on track with this book... b/c book 1 was soooo not Maya Banks style...
I must say... the end got a little sappy with all the I love you so much... when Bethy is.... well when Bethy is not feeling well... I will just say that... I was like really, Ok... we get it... You love each other forever!!! But other than that... Nice re-tracking for the series!
Narration was great. Paul did a great job...even better than book 1!!!! This whole book was better than book 1 in the series by leaps and bounds. And the smexin in this book was just... 'Fan yourself'!
I love all genres of books. However, when I listen to audio books as I clean, garden, drive they are better with a lot of heat!
"Dreams Do Come True"
What can I say about Fever? It totally rocked!! I just can't get enough of this series. These "boys" are so hot! LOL Maya Banks sure knows how to make some hot and steamy books. Burn is the next book in the Breathless trilogy and its release date is August 6th. I can't wait to hear about Ash!
Jace Crestwell, Ash McIntyre, and Gabe Hamilton are best friends who just happen powerhouse hotel moguls in New York. They know what they want and will do whatever it takes to get it.....or her. Fever is the story of Jace and Bethany. Jace meets Bethany one night during Gabe and Mia's engagement party and is instantly drawn to her. But Bethany comes with a past and "Baggage" - her so called brother. I honestly fell in love with Bethany. I think she is the sweetest girl ever. But don't confuse that kindness for weakness cause she is one tough little cookie and she isn't afraid to put Jace in his place. One of my favorite moments was the girls' night out. It was the first time I saw Bethany truly be herself and not holding back. The characters are all great and I love how Maya brought Gabe and Mia in Fever. When we fall in love with a couple like them, we want to hear about them every chance we get.
If you haven't started reading the Breathless series, I strongly suggest you do. Fever was filled with romance, hot scenes and a great love story. Just what all girls want in a great book.
Adam Paul was great with the delivery of the story.
I love books! Audiobooks take stories to the next level. I'm obsessed with Audible and will try to rate all of my books. Happy Listening! ;)
"A hot mess but at least it was better than Rush..."
Maya Banks is a multiple personality writer. She writes the most heart melting romantic stories like her Highlander series and her Harlequin books or kinky smut that can make a pornstar blush. I absolutely love her romantic stories but I find her kinky stories are too much for me. In Fever somehow she tried to mix those two personalities into one but it didn't convince me. Fever is a romantic melodrama with a kinky smut undertone.
Fever was better than Rush but still it was just meh for me. Too many contradictions. Jace is a dominant self made billionaire, yet he did not tell Ash he didn't want him in bed with him and Bethany. Bethany has been homeless in New York City for years and yet she is a doormat and a complete submissive? You don't survive the streets of NYC if you are a naive trusting wimp. She used drugs and sex as coping mechanisms and yet she was shy at times with Jace and had to get drunk to really loose her inhibitions? Jace was very lovey dovey at times and all of a sudden switched to: I'm the master and I want to put a collar on you and spank you with a wood paddle. Come on! This book needed some good editing.
Narration: to be fair I have to say that I do not like male narrators. And I specially dislike Adam Paul on this series. I imagine Jace as intense but the narrator makes him sound as a complete demanding jerk. And he makes Bethany sound as a lifeless wimp. I just can't feel the chemistry or the love through the narration and the sex scenes sound too perverted.
It took me two weeks to finish this audiobook and I had to force myself to finish it. If you like hot and dirty sex scenes and don't really care for a plot line that makes sense then this book is for you. It wasn't for me and I'm not sure if ill endure a third book...
I have 3 kids that occupy all the TV's in the house...enough said...addicted to audiobook ....shhhh don't tell my husband ;-)
"Darker version of Pretty Woman"
I like Rush way better then Fever. I felt like the 2 books where way too similiar and I can't stand complete repetitiveness and I felt like that is what was going on here. It is clear that the trilogy is about 3 best friends/ business partners with sexual deviant kinks finding their one true love. Right there it already reminds of Fifty Shades of Grey. In Rush it was Gabe falling for his business partner's (Jace) much younger sister and the boss/secretary scenes in that book were pretty hot. In Fever it is Jace falling for Bethany who is in very unfortunate circumstances and who is even younger then his own sister. What majorily cools my jets in this book is that 1) Jace says the exact same stuff that Gabe does during sex. 2) Bethany's circumstances, I felt the connection was made to Jace out of dire need for survival other then just falling in love. Dealing with a forced threesome, homelessness, drugs, and drunk sex is not at all hot to me. This is definately not one of my Maya Banks favorites.
I'm so-so on the credit, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I recommend her Highlander's series, they're my favorite of Maya Banks.
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"Ewww....just too creepy for me"
I really wish I could give this book more than just 2 stars. I love Maya Banks – she is the queen of Erotica in my opinion. However, I just can't bring myself to give this book a positive review. Ugh! There was too much "creep factor" in this story for me to just enjoy it. I know, it's fiction/fantasy and the point is to escape into the story. Somehow I just couldn't do it.
The imbalance of power between Bethany and Jace really didn't work for me. He is rich, powerful and dominant but she is homeless, starving and doesn't own a thing (not even a winter coat). I'm ok with him wanting to take care of her, but I just couldn't get past the thought that she was having sex with him for food. It was just too creepy for me. There has to be some level of equality for the whole dom/sub thing to work. (IMHO)
I didn't really care for the submissive thing to extend past the bedroom either. Jace wanted to take over her whole life in a matter of a few days. It just screamed "abusive relationship". The whole thing just made me too uncomfortable. I'm not sure why this particular book didn't work for me knowing I've enjoyed others with very similar themes??
Overall, it wasn't entirely bad. I did at least finish the book.
Sorry Maya fans, but I just can't recommend this one.
Nurse, mom, loved to read....but now I love to listen. When I retire I hope to hear waves crashing in 1 ear and audible in the other!
"Better then Rush...."
Sex, Control and the usual happy ending...
probably all the sex. there was alot!
He did a better job this time, he will make a good Ash....
This is a trilogy and I am anxious to see what is in store for Ash....
Great continuation the the Breathless trilogy and it has everything we expect from Ms Banks books - a troublesome romance, some really dishy alpha men, flawed characters who grow into likeable ones, an interesting plot a lovely tortured romance AND some really hot n heavy love scenes (I think she outdid herself with this one - (a ménage and bdsm).
Yes, as previously mentioned, certain aspects weren't really plausible but in it's defence that's why it's in the Fiction section and it must be said that, on the whole, most of us listen to these books for the pure escapism factor which this one delivers to us by the spadeful. I for one will happily carry on listening to her books for the simple enjoyment factor not giving a thought if the catering staff have green cards or if the driver has his licence - who cares!!!
Worth a credit? It definitely would have been a YES but (and I hate repeating this and boring you - so if you've read my comments before then just skip this bit) if a book's under $10 then I just buy it and keep my credit for a more expensive, but no more worthy, listen.
"Intense whirlwind"
Yes, the narrator did an excellent job portraying the characters and events.
When Bethany walked out on Jace and waited in the rain determined to have her stay after almost taking the pill. When the realization of it all hit Jace .
Intense emotion, struggle against the odds and fairy tales and dreams do sometime come true for real people.
Great story worth the wait. Jace deserves someone special in his life. Can't wait for Ash.

North Salt Lake • Whether or not Stericycle pulls off a move to Utah's West Desert, its medical waste incinerator will remain for the time being in North Salt Lake's Foxboro neighborhood, where it is the focus of unrelenting controversy.
Company officials are proposing to upgrade the plant's aging emission control equipment to the best now available, as part of its permit renewal now under consideration by the Utah Division of Air Quality.
Air-quality town hall Wednesday
The Tribune's Jennifer Napier-Pearce will moderate a town-hall discussion on Utah's air quality challenges with a panel of experts at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 29, at the Salt Lake City Main Library, 210 E. 400 South.
The discussion will be broadcast live on KCPW 88.3/105.3 FM and at sltrib.com. You can submit questions in advance by sending an email to email@example.com.

They also want to replace its electrical generator, in the hope of preventing the bypass events that occur when its incinerator malfunctions and emissions are vented straight into the air.
Power outages are the most common cause of these events, but Stericycle's current generator can't provide sufficient power to keep the system operating safely and the bypass is needed to prevent a catastrophic failure. A more powerful unit will prevent the "upsets" that release plumes the neighbors find so objectionable, said Jim Nold, the company's director of field services.
"Power outages are common. We can't control that. We have half a dozen a year, each lasting a few minutes," Nold said. "We operate for 8,000 hours a year and this is just minutes. We wish there weren't any, but in the big scheme of things we are talking a tiny percentage, and we report the emissions from upsets to the state."
The expected total cost of the proposed upgrades is $1.5 million. But Stericycle's critics hope to convince state regulators to not renew the company's permit on the grounds that incineration is no longer appropriate.
"We will fight that tooth and nail," said Brian Moench of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment. "They will have a war on their hands."
Moench's group and others say incineration releases dioxins, furans and other toxic compounds that no amount of emission control can eliminate.
"They are wasting their money because we will have them shut down before they can put in that equipment. There is no reason to continue incineration. There are other technologies," said Alicia Connell, a co-founder of Communities for Clean Air.
The main alternative to burning is using steam in autoclaves to disinfect waste. Today, very little medical waste is burned and just 14 commercial incinerators are available in the United States.
Stericycle, the world's leading handler of medical waste, operates six of them, along with 40 autoclaves. Most of the material burned at the Utah plant is pharmaceuticals and gear used for administering chemotherapy to cancer patients.
Incineration is the most costly method of disposing of medical waste, so if it does have to be burned, the company prefers processing it through other means, according to Selin Hoboy, vice president for legislative affairs.
Three-fourths of the waste Stericycle collects from its Utah customers is shipped out of state to be processed in an autoclave or by some other disinfecting technology, she said.
Critics point to new sterilization methods, such as ozone and chemical disinfectants, and shredders as preferable options.
But officials say Stericycle has evaluated them and found them wanting.
"They are not dependable and not scalable to a commercial size," Nold said. "You will have a problem with shredding because you hit something that won't shred and it has to be shredded. When you produce wastewater you produce something that needs to be treated."
Meanwhile, Nold contends incineration is the only option for chemotherapy agents.
"It's a fallacy to think you could replace [Stericycle's incineration] capacity with one of these other technologies," he said. "If a better way to trap the mouse comes along, we will give it a try."

After 7 1/2 hours of deliberations Tuesday, the jury of 8 men and 4 women reconvened Wednesday morning to decide the fate of Jeffery Trevino. On Wednesday afternoon, jurors asked a question of the judge.
The question from the jury was kept secret, but the answer delivered by the judge at 4 p.m. was, "Yes, those are all possible combinations."
Family members of Jeffery Trevino and Kira Steger were both in court to hear the question.
So far, the jurors have spent a total of 15 hours deliberating their verdict.
The jury must return with a unanimous verdict to the two counts of second-degree murder against Trevino in the death of his wife, Kira Steger, last February. Jurors will be sequestered until they reach a verdict, meaning they don't go home until there's a consensus.
Deliberations resumed just before 8 a.m. Wednesday, according to the judge's clerk.
Follow live updates from FOX 9's Paul Blume on Twitter @PaulBlume_FOX9 and #TrevinoTrial
Prosecutors argued Trevino killed Kira Steger in a jealous rage, but the defense tried to poke holes in the forensic evidence. With tension running high on both sides, friends and family packed the courtroom for Tuesday morning's closing arguments.
"The only thing I can say is that I feel sorry for both families because Kira did very much love the Trevino family," said Kira's father, Jay Steger. "I feel sorry for both families right now. No matter the outcome."
"It's very, very, very difficult," said Marcie Steger, Kira's mother. "Nothing I would wish on anyone. Ever."
Prosecutors closed out their case first, meticulously going over the timeline from Kira Steger's disappearance after a date night with her husband on Thursday, Feb. 21. She had been texting throughout the evening with a boyfriend from work. She wanted out of the marriage, and Jeffery Trevino had had enough. Blood in the house was evidence of a vicious assault.
"This was an intentional act," Ramsey County prosecutor Rick Dusterhoft told the jury. "Violent. Intimate. Up close. That tells you something about who did this."
Trevino's defense attorney, John Conard, continued to try to poke holes in the prosecution's case, attempting to raise reasonable doubt at every turn.
Blood evidence in the house was minimal, he argued. Critical surveillance video didn't necessarily show his client. He also raised the possibility that the bloodied pillow believed to be the murder weapon had actually been planted at Keller Lake, and disputed how long Kira's body might actually have been in the Mississippi River.
Conard's last words to the jury were "Jeff didn't do this, and they haven't proven that he did. He isn't guilty."
12 impartial jurors will make that determination.
"I hope they can take all the evidence they've been given and make an educated decision," Jay Steger said.

Matthew Allred's photographic series, Heliography: The Arc of Time, uses handmade pinhole cameras and exposures that range from 24 hours to six months, creating an arc of time across the sky. His recent works step back from the technological process of photography, and revisit the slow exposure of light in the medium. Using a pinhole camera and a chemical process he developed to combat overexposure, the path of the sun is captured and fixed. The subsequent work, as he describes it, "focuses on describing the expansive motions of extended time." This exhibition presents the photographs created using this process.

Man Gets High School Diploma At Age Of 106
March 6, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
BEVERLY, Mass., (UPI) — A 106-year-old Massachusetts man who dropped out of school in the eighth grade to help support his family was presented with an honorary diploma.
Fred Butler was honored Monday at Beverly High School with a special ceremony attended by family and teenage members of the class of 2013 at the school's library, and was presented with an honorary high school diploma, The Boston Globe reported Wednesday.
"I want to thank everybody who is responsible for this," Butler said. "I never expected to get anything like that. I really appreciate it."
Relatives said Butler had to drop out of school in the eighth grade to help support his mother and five siblings, but often talked about how he regretted not finishing school. They said he has always encouraged his family members to do well in school.
"He talked about it a lot," said Cathy Butler, a relative who took the lead in helping Butler get his diploma. "He regretted not having his diploma, but he stands for all the values a high school community hopes to represent."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Nashville Predators have signed free-agent forward Viktor Stalberg to a 4-year, $12 million contract in an attempt to boost an anemic offense.
Stalberg will make $2.5 million in 2013-14 and $3.5 million each in 2015-16 and 2016-17 under terms of the deal announced Friday in a team release.
The 27-year-old Stalberg had nine goals and 14 assists in 47 games for the Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks this season. He appeared in 19 playoff games and had three assists.
Stalberg, a 4-year veteran, had 22 goals and 43 assists for the Blackhawks in 2011-12.
Nashville had 2.27 goals last season to match the Florida Panthers for the lowest average in the NHL.

Mixed Storm and Tidal Facies Successions of Mixed Grain Size, Shallow Marine Sediment in Foreland Basin Units: the Albian, Viking Formation, Townships 45 to 54, Ranges 10W4 to 21W4, Alberta, Canada

The siliciclastic, Lower Cretaceous, Albian, Viking Formation was deposited in the foreland basin of eastern central Alberta. Sediments in the area studied were formerly interpreted as "offshore bars" or lowstand shorefaces. It is shown in the first extensive, detailed core and well log study o the basinal portion of the formation that the sediments are sheet sand deposits laid down by a mixture of storm and tidal flows. The sediments divide into twenty facies ranging from grey shale to conglomerate but mostly consisting of bioturbated or crossbedded muddy sandstones and siltstones.
The facies assemble into six units: Mu, Epsilon, Delta, Gamma, Beta and Alpha, in stratigraphically ascending order. Unit boundaries are at points of rapid facies changes. There are no extensive discontinuities. Units Epsilon, Delta and Gamma are gradationally coarsening upward from basal bioturbated marine siltstones to heterolithic, sometimes glauconitic crossbedded or bioturbated marine sandstones. Unit Beta is consistently line grained showing a slight coarsening upwards from bioturbated siltstones to crossbedded siltstones.
Datum to unit boundary isopachs and unit isopachs indicate post unit Mu, westward subsidence leading to accommodation of units Epsilon through Gamma. During deposition of units AIpha and Beta, subsidence returned to a more even basinwide pattern.
Unit isopachs of Epsilon, Delta and Gamma reveal prograding and aggrading "shoreface" wedges in the southwest of the study region. Details of the isopachs reflect fingers of irregular sand sheets. The facies of these sand sheets are interpreted to be finally deposited by storm enhanced flows in a tidally dominated basin. Unit Beta provides evidence for a facies summary of a distal storm/wave dominated shallow shelf. In all cases, lateral facies changes appear random.
The units do not fit common sea level curve interpretations because the onset of transgression is located within the upper, coarser portion of the units rather than at the unit boundaries. Neither the units nor the formation can be correlated precisely to existing sea level curves. Combined with the evidence for tectonic control of unit geometries, this suggests periodic activity such as thrust loading of the cordillera west may control unit development in foreland basins.

If you need a phone, then the Movistar cell phone service may be right for you. If you travel around the country to the main cities and attractions, Movistar will be there to connect you.
There is no charge to receive a call on your cell, unlike in North America.
Only when you make calls from your cell phone do you "spend money." (You either use up minutes provided as part of your plan, or use up part of your cash balance in your prepaid plan.)
Calls to other Movistar phones are cheapest. Calls to landlines and cell phones on other networks are quite a bit more per minute.
Movistar offers both Pospago (monthly) plans and Prepago (pay as you go) plans for your cell service.
Pospago is generally better if you're living here full time.
Prepago is best if you don't use a phone much (perhaps you carry it for emergency use only) or if you're out of the country for long periods of time.
You have a choice of Plan Total Todo Destino or Plan Total monthly plans.
One thing to remember about Movistar plans is that once your minutes are used up, you can't use your phone unless you want to buy prepago minutes (discussed below).
This plan ranges from $15 plus tax for 100 minutes (plus 75 free minutes, with a catch, discussed below) to $300 a month for 2,000 minutes plus 3,500 free minutes. That's a lot of calling inside Ecuador.
The $50 plan would probably be enough from just about any expat. It offers 333 minutes (just over 5.5 hours) plus 365 free minutes, with the catch.
The catch is that the free minutes, and the 40 free text messages per month you can have, are only for favorite numbers that you register by dialing *444 and entering the phone numbers. You can have an unlimited number of favorites.
The plan is for 18 months, paid by direct debit from your Ecuadorian bank account. So you'll need to set one up here in Cuenca (or elsewhere in the country) to obtain this Movistar cell phone service.
This plan ranges from $10 (plus tax) for 125 Movistar minutes (to other Movistar customers), 53 to other cell service providers (Claro and Alegro), and 250 minutes to your Movistar favorites, to $300 (plus tax) for 3,750 Movistar minutes, 1,579 to Claro and Alegro, and 7,500 to Movistar favorites.
Plan 25, for $25, would be more than enough for any expat, with 313, 132, and 625 minutes.
As with the first plan, you have to commit to 18 months, and pay by direct debit.
Movistar also has voice and internet plans to use with smartphones (iPhone, Blackberry, etc.). See this page about Movistar internet service for details.
You can use prepaid service (pay as you go) by buying a phone, and then purchasing minutes whenever you need them.
For example, each call made to a Movistar phone is 8 cents a minute (9 cents with the tax). If you call a Claro or Alegro number, or a landline, it's $.23 a minute ($.261 with the tax).
With the prepaid service, remember to keep a tarjeta in your wallet or purse. A $3 one will do.
When you run out of money in your balance (your saldo), your call ends. Abruptly, with no warning.
If you don't have another card handy, you can't call back and continue your conversation.
Unfortunately, Movistar tarjetas are available at fewer and fewer places in Cuenca as recharging becomes more popular. Electronic recharging (recarga) is available at Supermaxi and hundreds of other locations around the city.
With the prepaid service, you can also call long distance, since the money is deducted from your balance. The cost is $.44 per minute ($.493 with the tax) for North and South America, Europe, Japan and China.
The prepaid Movistar cell phone service is best if you have a lot of friends with Movistar phones. The monthly plans are good even if your friends use Claro, as you're given enough minutes to talk with them as well.
Whichever service you choose, Movistar will serve you well to stay connected with your friends in Ecuador.

I just want to thank you both soooo much for creating this web site. I am originally from Cuenca but moved to New York 11 years ago and have not being back since. My husband and I are planning on visiting Cuenca over the Summer and this web site has helped me a lot.
When I came to the US we still had the "sucre," the bus ride cost 1,000 sucres and a pack of trident gum would cost 3,000 sucres. I am very nervous to go back, but thanks to your web site I now know what to expect.
My husband is American and Captivating Cuenca has taught him a lot about what my great city has to offer, things that I had forgotten about myself! :)
Thank You both so much! I cannot wait to visit Cuenca!!

William Stanley Cornett, of Plainville, Ga.Photo by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
A Gordon County, Ga., father was denied bond over the weekend after being charged with severely injuring his 2-month-old son, authorities said.
William Stanley Cornett, of Plainville, Ga., was charged with aggravated assault and cruelty to children in the first degree and is in the Gordon County Jail after he was denied bond Saturday, Gordon County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Robert Paris said.
Paris said the 28-year-old man could face more charges if the infant dies. The boy -- whose name hasn't been released -- is in critical condition at Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Atlanta, he said.
"If the child passes away, we can take appropriate action," Paris said.
Floyd Medical Center officials contacted the sheriff's office Wednesday when the infant was brought there with a suspicious head injury, Paris said.
Later the same day, the child was airlifted to Scottish Rite, he said. Sheriff's deputies also searched Cornett's house the same evening.
At 3:30 a.m. Thursday, deputies met Cornett at the Atlanta hospital and arrested him, Paris said.
Cornett was on probation for previous convictions in Floyd County, a sheriff's office news release stated.
The Gordon County public defender's office was closed Monday to observe the Martin Luther King holiday and could not be reached for comment.

The smarter way to check-in with Openskies
Check-in times
It is important that you check-in for your flight and get to the gate on time.
• You must be in possession of a boarding pass by the time check-in closes, or you will not be accepted for the flight.
• Make sure you allow enough time to complete the necessary security checks at the airport, and get to your gate on time.
• All OpenSkies check-in desks will close 50 minutes before the flight departs.
• Online check-in closes one hour before your flight's scheduled departure.
Check-in on flyopenskies.com from 24 hours before your flight
Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, you can make the start of your journey as enjoyable and stress free as possible by checking-in online, open from 24 hours before your flight departs.
• Check-in for your flight from the comfort of your home, office or hotel.
• Choose your seat and explore a plan of the aircraft. You can even choose seats for traveling companions if they appear on your booking. Remember, the earlier you check-in the wider the selection of seats you will have.
• Print your boarding pass and go straight through security at the airport, if you have hand baggage only. Prem Plus and Biz Bed passengers can proceed through the priority lane to pass security checks. Biz Bed passengers, as well as Gold and Silver Executive Club members can also access our lounges at Newark, JFK and Orly (our lounge at Orly is located before security checks).
• If you have bags to check in, go to one of our check-in desks when you arrive at the airport, so your bags can be tagged and accepted for the flight. Then go straight through security to departures.

Getting through security
Please allow yourself plenty of time to go through airport security checks.
Increased security at most airports means that the screening of carry-on baggage and body checks can take longer, particularly at busy times.
Boarding the aircraft
Please have your boarding pass, passport and any other required travel documents, ready when boarding at the gate.
You will need to show your boarding pass to the cabin crew when you board the aircraft.
If you arrive at the boarding gate after the gate has closed, you will not be able to board the flight.

LOUISVILLE, Ky (WHAS11) -- Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Jerry Abramson (D) will not run for U.S. Senate in 2014 yet is "not ruling out" a run for governor in 2015.
"I think I'm a CEO type in terms of management and leadership skills," Abramson told WHAS11, "and so the Senate really doesn't fit at this point in time."
U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is up for re-election to a sixth six-year term in 2014. Kentucky's longest serving U.S. Senator, McConnell exhausted his formidable campaign cash in 2008 to fend off a strong challenge from businessman Bruce Lunsford.
Abramson and other political insiders say anyone planning to challenge McConnell in 2014 needs to begin a campaign soon, principally because of the need to raise considerable campaign funds.
Actress Ashley Judd has acknowledged her interest in the race. Smiling, Abramson suggested other potential candidates with star power include actor George Clooney and ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, both Kentucky natives.
As for Abramson, he is considering a run -- for governor in 2015.
"It's certainly something that I'm not at this point ready to say no to," Abramson said. "It's something I continue to look at."
About to complete his first year as Kentucky's lieutenant governor, Abramson says the job has included one surprise.
"I don't think I realized how often I would be on an airplane," Abramson said. On Wednesday, for example, Abramson flies from Louisville to Corbin in the morning, back to Louisville for a Kentucky Association of Counties meeting, then drives to Woodford County for an evening event.
Yet, as he eyes his political future, Abramson is not complaining about his statewide travels. As the so called "mayor for life," he is synonymous with Louisville. As Lt. Governor, he is enjoying a new identity - and a four year re-introduction to the rest of the Bluegrass.
"I mean, the truth be known I was born in Louisville, Kentucky and lived here all my life," Abramson told WHAS11, "but I haven't spent as much time in Paducah and Ashland or in Prestonsburg and Hopkinsville as a lot of other folks. And it's giving me a chance to learn, to listen, to better appreciate."
Abramson's answer sounds very much like a candidate for governor.
"25 years in local government and then four years traveling the state learning and listening and understanding the issues certainly gives me a basis to be able to - if I decide to run for governor - to frame up the future of Kentucky as I see it," Abramson said. "and the kind of things I would try to lead if I were fortunate enough to be elected governor."
Granted a one month extension, Abramson's Tax Reform Commission is now staring at a December 15th deadline to recommend changes to a tax structure consultants say cannot meet the state's demands. In addition to extending the sales tax to some services and increasing the cigarette tax, Abramson says the taxation of pension recipients needs to make sure they are paying their fair share.
"The kinds of services the people of Kentucky want, over time are going to need additional dollars," Abramson said, explaining that state agencies have already been "cut to the bone."
"You can't cut your way out of this," he said. "We have cut $1.6 billion dollars."
Yet, Abramson say rank-and-file Kentuckians should not see tax hikes.
"I think at the beginning it will be pretty much neutral," Abramson said, "although the the trend will be over time as the economy gets better, there will be an opportunity for more tax funds to come into the state."
Abramson expressed hope that the departure of David Williams as Senate President -- Robert Stivers was selected by Republicans as his successor on Tuesday afternoon -- offers an opportunity for more cooperation at the Capitol.
"The personal relationship of you and I liking each other ultimately can probably can go a long way toward resolving somewhere in between," Abramson said. "That personal relationship simply wasn't there with David Williams, and so the hope is that they will be better working relationship in the future.
Though Governor Steve Beshear's expanded gambling initiative is often regarded as an issue that may benefit from a leadership shake-up, Abramson said Beshear's priority to raise Kentucky's dropout age is the most likely to immediately benefit from the leadership changes.
"The dropout bill has a much better chance now," Abramson said. "It would not get a Senate vote under David Williams."

Industry employment trends in 2006
June 21, 2007
Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 2.3 million in 2006.
Employment trends varied by industry. A weak housing market hurt employment in construction and related industries, and imports continued to compete with manufactured goods such as textiles and apparel.
Oil prices hit an all-time high in the summer and had a dual effect, hindering growth in retail trade while boosting employment in mining and other industries that produce energy.
Shortages of skilled labor suppressed hiring in temporary help services, but spurred wage growth in professional and technical services.
Increased tax revenues had a positive influence on hiring for health care and education.
These data on employment are from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program and have been seasonally adjusted. For more information, see "Payroll employment and job openings rate continued to grow in 2006," by Kimberly Riley, Emily Lloyd, and Natalie Propst, Monthly Labor Review, March 2007.

Nesmith Library
Windham, NH
Building Consultant
North St.
947 6460
The Town of Windham is mainly a residential community with a growing number of small specialized retail and service businesses along Route 111 and 28. There has been explosive growth since the 1970s. From 1997 to 2004, the population increased 42%. The current population is about 13,500. The Town Planner has projected that, with current zoning, the full build-out population will be 17,000-19,000 people. For this study the figure of 19,000 will be used.
As early as 1988, the Trustees realized that the old Library, located in the Armstrong Building, was bursting at the seams. A Building Program was written recommending a new facility of 15,000 sq. ft., but because funding was not approved for many years in a row, the size recommended by the Building Consultant, Patience Jackson, was downsized by 20%, to 12,000 square feet. A new Building Program was written. This smaller size was approved and the new Nesmith Library opened in 1997. It was the first facility to be built in Windham's new town center. The Library was projected to be adequate until 2015. In fact, the Library has reached its limit now.
There are many problems with this facility but the primary ones are:
Windham needs 91% more shelving for its current holdings. The collection is crowded into a Library much too small for its present collection.
There are thirteen "Special Concerns" for the new facility.
1. Single Level or Multilevel Design. The recommendation of this Consultant is a single-level design. A single-level library is the most efficient configuration. Flexible space, economies in staffing, no need for an elevator or stairs and their associated costs can result in an aesthetically pleasing facility for all of Windham's citizens.
2. Local History/Conference Room, seating 15, will be open to small groups. Climate control will preserve valuable collections.
3. Multipurpose Room/Kitchen, seating 150. As an intellectual commons and community center, the Library should provide a midsize multi-purpose meeting room and exhibit space.
4. Quiet Rooms. Four quiet room, two seating 6, two seating 8, will be available for tutoring sessions, small group meetings, or for individuals seeking quiet space.
5. Exhibit Space should be provided throughout the Library, in addition to space in the Multipurpose Room.
6. Technical Services Room is an open flexible space with plenty of storage. Careful planning for multiple tasks is a must.
7. Circulation Work Room is the major work space situated behind the Circulation Desk. It should be near Administration as well.
8. Children's Room should reflect the current and anticipated usage and holdings statistics. The design should be light and airy with enough room for defined areas without a crowded, cluttered look.
9. Story/Crafts Room, seating 30, is primarily for children's programs, but could be used for other meetings or programs.
10. Young Adult Room provides this age group with their own space for information needs, as well as their need to socialize.
11. Café Area. This attractive, cozy area, located near the Entrance and Circulation Desk, should be one which encourages socializing since the library also functions as a community center. It will also be the location for the ongoing book sale for F.L.O.W. (Friends of the Library.)
12. Efficient Use of Staff should be the rule. The staff should have clear unobstructed views to multiple areas.
13. Efficient Use of Space should be high priority. Adaptable spaces that are able to accommodate overflow from other areas should be designed.
General Characteristics of the new facility should include the following. The new Library must maintain and enhance the visual power of the Nesmith Library because it is an integral part of the Windham Community. The building should make a statement about the quality of life in this Community and be harmonious with its environment.
The building should have flexible space, be easily supervisable and easily maintained. It should be environmentally safe and energy efficient. There should be plentiful storage areas and the building should be able to accommodate whatever the electronic needs of the future will be. The facility should be fully accessible to the disabled, meeting or exceeding ADA Standards. The acoustics, lighting, HVAC, fire protection and security should be highly effective systems.
Provision for future expansion, both interior and exterior, should be made at the beginning of the design process.
The building includes six rooms available for meetings, group study or programs: the Multipurpose Meeting Room seating 150, the Local History/Conference Room seating 15, the Story Hour/Crafts Room seating 30, two Quiet Rooms seating 5 and two Quiet Rooms seating 4. There is an Audiovisual Area near the Young Adult Room. There is a Photocopier Area.
The Periodical/Browsing Area, the Large Print/Paperback Area along with the Reference/Study Area will provide adequate seating for browsing and study. The spacious and attractive Children's Room will help to motivate children to read. A Computer Training Area for self-directed learning as well as classes is provided.
Storage Areas are located throughout the building: custodial area, work rooms, offices, meeting/program rooms, closed storage and kitchens.
Office/work space includes the Director's Office, five staff seats in the Circulation Work Room, four staff seats in Technical Services Room, two desks in the Assistant Director's Office, one each in Reference Office, Children's Librarian's Office and the Telecommunications Closet. Provisions have been made for 30 machine work stations. Seating for the public totals 139, seats from six meeting rooms total 195.
The proposed collection capacities are as follows: Children's Room 34,325, Young Adult 2,415, Adult 60,155 for a total of 96,895 including both print and non-print. The proposed building solution has 28,780 square feet.
The proposed building should be highly efficient, utilizing flexible spaces, so that it will meet the informational, educational and cultural needs of the citizens of Windham from the present time to the year 2050.
In her Needs Assessment and Building Program, Third Edition, October 1995, Patience Jackson wrote that "the Library faces either substantial expansion or repeated incremental relocations over the next two decades." Jackson originally recommended that the Library expand to 15,000 sq. ft., but it was built 20% smaller than was recommended. There was a deficit of 3,000 sq. ft. Patience Jackson's prophecy that the Library would be facing another expansion "within the next two decades" has come true.

Dolby® Atmos™ represents a completely new platform for cinema sound. It provides full creative freedom for filmmakers and ensures that you'll hear the soundtracks exactly as their creators intended.
Employing overhead speakers as well as surrounds, Dolby Atmos can create realistic and natural sound experiences that envelop and involve you in the stories.See the complete list of movies released in Dolby Atmos. Find a Dolby Atmos theatre near you.
Delivers a powerful and dramatic new cinema sound listening experience
Allows sounds to move around the theatre to create dynamic effects
Reproduces a natural and lifelike audio experience that perfectly matches the story
Adds overhead speakers for the most realistic effects you've ever heard
Reflects the artist's original intent, regardless of theatre setup
Employs up to 64 speakers to heighten the realism and impact of every scene
For filmmakers, details matter—a lot. And Dolby Atmos gives filmmakers full creative control over the placement and movement of sound around the audience. This completely new level of artistic freedom enables precise matching of audio to onscreen action.
Dialogue follows characters. Sound effects track with camera pans. Ambient sounds envelop you. For the first time, you'll hear the whole picture.
Find Dolby Atmos theatres.
Are you a content creator, distributor, or exhibitor? Learn how Dolby Atmos is reinventing the traditional surround sound methodology and offering a complete platform for cinema sound.
Creates clearer, more accurately positioned cinema sound; uses object-oriented mixing to layer independent sound elements over channel-based audio content
Captures all the director's intent as descriptive metadata to provide customized playback for each theatre
Automatically generates optimum soundtracks for theatres with 5.1- and 7.1-channel setups
Delivers a rich, realistic sound experience through support for up to 128 simultaneous and lossless audio elements in a mix
Scales easily to any size theatre, with up to 64 independent speaker outputs
Dolby Atmos uses an innovative layered approach to building a soundtrack. A base layer consists largely of static ambient sounds, which are mixed using the familiar channel-based method. Layered on top of these are dynamic audio elements that can be positioned and moved precisely to correspond to the images onscreen.
Metadata records how these elements should behave during playback—behavior that best matches the director's intent, regardless of theatre configuration. This dual-layer approach gives film creators greater power and freedom while ensuring you a consistent experience in any theatre.
Dolby Atmos speakers are all individually controlled to create precise sound placement and natural, realistic movement of sound. Surround speakers in 5.1 and Dolby Surround 7.1 theatres are grouped to create zones. Representative setups are shown here.
While traditional surround sound offers a high degree of audio realism to help pull the audience into the story, Dolby Atmos takes realism to a whole new level with its ability to place sounds at precise locations and move them anywhere in the theatre–even overhead.
Here's how Dolby Atmos compares to 5.1-channel and Dolby Surround 7.1 cinema sound, and the differences you can expect to hear.
True overhead sound
Natural and lifelike, matching what you hear in real life
Perfectly coordinated with onscreen action
"Phantom" overhead sound
5.1 can create overhead effect in center; 7.1 widens and improves the effect
Less localized and distinct than true overhead sound
Powerful and consistent
Maintains tonal quality as sounds move around theatre
Sound elements can be assigned to individual speakers to maintain purity
Smaller surround speakers with more limited response
Some loss of clarity and sharpness
5.1 has limited movement effect; 7.1 improves spatial separation and fidelity
Each speaker is individually addressable
Allows precise placement, powerful sense of motion
Consistent experience from any seat in the theatre
Limited to two (5.1) or four (7.1) surround zones
5.1 limits placement precision; 7.1 adds precision and movement
Ideal for static ambient sounds; discrete sound not as realistic
You become part of the story
Completely natural and realistic soundtracks
Seamlessly envelops you in the action
Adds to your involvement in the story
Brings impact and drama
Great experience, just not to Dolby Atmos level

A woman in Roseville got quite the scare on Friday morning when she woke to find an SUV had crashed into her home. Turns out the SUV was stolen and the suspect had actually jumped out if it trying to escape police. According to police, the vehicle was stolen from a home in the 32,000 block of Kelly just before 10:00 a.m. The owner was warming up the car in the driveway, unattended, when the 20-year-old suspect got in and drove off with it. Fraser police were in the area and were able to track down the suspect and the 2005 GMC Envoy. That's when the suspect tried to ditch the stolen SUV by making a run for it. The vehicle then rolled through Elizabeth Northrup's front yard and stopped when it hit her house. Police say it was a crime of opportunity. "I heard the bushes hit the window and I thought, 'That's not wind,'" Northrup says. "I came outside and there's police everywhere and, I look at the car and see the car on the front porch and just gestured to the police and they said 'Please stay in the house, ma'am,'" she remembers. "Doesn't really matter about the weather because you'll see someone will run into a convenience store or a store real quick. They'll park on the curb and say 'I'm only going to be in for a couple minutes' and it could be the middle of July, and you'll see the same situation happen because the vehicle's been left out running for some reason. They think, well, nothing's going to happen and that's how a lot of people think of it until it happens to you," reminds Deputy Chief Donald Glandon of Roseville Police. Police dogs from St. Clair Shores were able to track the suspect to a nearby garage where he was hiding out. The suspect is being held in the Roseville jail, waiting to be officially arraigned. That will likely happen sometime early next week.

California's magnificent state parks are falling apart fast.
The budgeting system for state government is in shambles and practically dysfunctional.
This one is tough. And as with most tough policy issues, simplistic rhetoric doesn't get to the real crux of the matter.
Yes, we all love parks -- some of us more than others, but no one wants to see them continue to deteriorate. The issue isn't the glory of parks. It's who pays to save them. And who decides.
And yes, ballot box budgeting is a scourge of state governing. It reduces the flexibility of the governor and the Legislature to act. But if they're incapable of acting, should the voters then solve the problem themselves?
Besides, Prop. 21 is sort of benign ballot box budgeting because it would generate a new revenue source to pay for its spending proposal. It wouldn't merely lock up a chunk of the state General Fund, as previous ballot initiatives have.
"This would have been easier to pass if it just said the Legislature must spend $300 million a year on parks," says Joe Caves, campaign coordinator for Prop. 21. "But that's ballot box budgeting. We're letting the voters decide whether they want to pay additional for parks."
Prop. 21 would impose an $18 surcharge on vehicle registration, except for commercial vehicles and trailers. In return, the vehicles would be entitled to free day-use entry and parking at state parks. Fees could still be charged for tours and overnight camping.
The surcharge would generate about $500 million annually. All of that would have to be spent on operating, maintaining and repairing state parks (85% of it) and protecting other wildlife and natural resources (15%).
But Prop. 21 actually would give the Legislature more flexibility over the deficit-plagued General Fund. That's because lawmakers could "back out" -- in budget speak -- the roughly $140 million in General Fund money currently being spent on parks and allocate those dollars to other programs, such as education and healthcare.
In all, after subtracting the loss of General Fund money and vehicle entry fees, state parks and wildlife programs would come out at least $250 million ahead annually, the legislative analyst calculates.
Backing the ballot initiative are the private California State Parks Foundation and a long list of environmental organizations and activists. They've raised roughly $5 million and have banked enough for TV ads, Caves says.
There's only token opposition, primarily from the automobile manufacturers lobby. The automakers feel they're being unjustly picked on.
"They're tired of all these nickel and dime car taxes," says Rob Stutzman, a strategist for the lobby, called the Auto Alliance.
"They're not opposed to vehicle fees, but they want them connected to funding transportation.
"If this passes, where does it end? Does the teachers union come up with a $50 fee for schools?"
Actually, the vehicle license fee -- the controversial "car tax" -- funds all types of local government services. The smaller vehicle registration fee does help pay for the DMV and CHP.
Eugene F. Erbin, Sacramento lobbyist for the automakers, says: "We're not opposed to parks. But we don't want to be the easiest target."
The automakers, however, don't oppose Prop. 21 enough to spend much money fighting it. They've put up less than $50,000 and plan no advertising.
Capitol Journal: Parks vs. ballot box budgeting
The debate about Prop. 21 is complex, and there are two legitimate points of view.

Definition of schoolwork in English:
schoolworkSyllabification: school·work
Pronunciation: /ˈsko͞olwərk /
Work assigned students by their teachers in school: Brother could do any schoolwork put to him, but he'd answer any spoken question with "I don't know."
More example sentences
- An avid student, Edmond excelled at his schoolwork, and was thought of as his school's best poet.
- She drowned herself in her schoolwork and the school paper, doing her best and doing more than what was asked of her.
- My life had settled into the monotony of school, schoolwork, and school tension; nothing else.
Although the distinction can be made between schoolwork as work assigned to be completed in school and homework as work assigned to be completed at home, in practice people often use schoolwork to mean the same as homework: they had to do their schoolwork at the kitchen table.

(What is Silent Sunday? Hundreds of people each taking ONE photo, within the last week, with no words to describe the photo either in a title or accompanying text. Silent Sunday was thought up by the fantastic Mocha Beanie Mummy. Above is my Silent Sunday photo for this week. You can check out Jay's blog (Mocha Beanie Mummy) for weeks and weeks of links to wonderful, funny, thoughtful photos from hundreds and hundreds of participants. Without a doubt, without Jay's prompting and advice I wouldn't be taking photos with a new eye, interest and eagerness to learn. Whilst I understand there won't be any linkys anymore, nothing is going to stop me doing my #silentsunday pics each week because it's a favourite bit of my week and with any luck Jay might realise how much she's changed my blogging and I suppose it's not too much to say, a part of my life. Thank you Jay :)).

Scientology Moves In Downtown
Church plans renovation of four-story, 50,000-square-foot building
The night clubs, shops and lunch spots of downtown Albuquerque are about to get a new neighbor. The Church of Scientology is in the process of purchasing the Gizmo's building at 410 Central SE near Fourth Street, says Gabriel Rivera, a redevelopment planner with City Planning. "From what I've heard, in other places and other cities, [Scientologists] usually locate in the Downtown areas," Rivera says. Local Scientologists confirmed the deal.

Odds & Ends
DATELINE: RUSSIA—Officials in the province of Ulyanovsk are giving away prizes, including a refrigerator and an all-terrain vehicle, for its most fertile couples. Sept. 12 was officially "Family Contact Day" and was designed by Gov. Sergei Morozov as a way of "encouraging procreation." A series of concerts and exhibitions were organized to promote family values and employers were encouraged to give workers a discretionary day off in order to, well, procreate their brains out. The event was timed precisely nine months ahead of next year's Constitution Day so that mothers "ideally should give birth on June 12," a spokesperson for the administration told England's The Sun. Mothers who pop buns out of their ovens on the magic date will be included in a drawing for fabulous free prizes. Not all the locals were enthusiastic about the idea, though. Human rights activist Alexander Bragin complained, "We've already sunk to the level where the governor is ordering us on what day to conceive a child and on what day to give birth."
