All of our photos from the July 19th event have been posted to our Facebook page. Please stop by www.Facebook.com/VivaConga and say hi.
I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did!
Arturo Sandoval is one of our very finest jazz musicians.
While he is known mostly for his trumpet artistry, he is also an accomplished pianist, vocalist, and percussionist.
Since his 1990 defection from Cuba, he has become a national treasure.
He has been nominated for 19 Grammy's winning 9 times, 4 of them this year for his CD "Dear Diz, (Every Day I Think of You)".
He is also nominated for 2 Latin Grammys this year.
He has won 6 Billboard awards and he won an Emmy for composing and playing on the score for the HBO movie that told his story "For Love or Country" starring Andy Garcia.
One of the very first albums I ever bought for my own collection, back when an album was an album, was Loggins and Messina "On Stage".
Most of the songs were already favorites and the rest became new favorites quickly as I played and replayed the album until I wore it out.
To this day "Vahevala" makes me want to start jumping around, "House at Pooh Corner" puts a smile on my face, and "Danny's Song" brings a bit of a tear to the corner of my eye.
I have continued enjoying Kenny Loggins music ever since.
We saw Bob Conti playing Congas with Jose Feliciano at the Howard Theater in Washington DC and again in Harrisburg, PA at the Forum Auditorium.
We had the opportunity to interview Bob in Harrisburg and learn more about his lifetime passion for the drum as well has his time with some of the music industries greatest artists including Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Bon Jovi, Gene Simmons, and Wilson Pickett to name a few.
He has played on 50 albums in the US and 150 albums worldwide including 12 platinum albums.

We're sure many of you remember Carlos Vives and his huge hits from a few years back.
He is still as strong as ever with a new tour and a smash-hit album that has put him right back where he belongs at the top of the Billboard charts.
Carlos Vives sold out American Airlines Arena in Miami for the "Como Le Gusta a Mi Puebla Tour" and Conga TV had the pleasure of attending.
He opened the show with "Déjame Entrar" and his latest single "Como le Gusta a Tu Cuerpo" following up with all of our favorites including "Pá' Mayté ", and "Como Tú".
Of course he brought
Please enjoy our newest video featuring Marlow Rosado and the members of the band La Riqueña. Marlow Rosado y La Riqueña won the 2013 Grammy for "Retro", Best Tropical Album of the year. You can find "Retro" and more of their terrific music at iTunes and Amazon.
If you don't have time for the full-length video you may enjoy this short version where Marlow tells us how he almost became a truck driver instead of a piano player!
Fort Lauderdale, Florida March 1, 2013.
Tito Puente Jr, son of the King of Mambo, Tito Puente and Godson of the Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz visited with www.Conga.tv before his recent concert at Bienes Center for the Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Tito told us about the origins of Mambo, helped us understand the difference between Mambo and Salsa (Not what you might think!) and shared many thoughts on his music and his father's legacy.
December 14'th 2012, Washington DC
We have been José Feliciano fans forever.
He has been making music and entertaining the world for 50 years. Winner of 8 Grammys, recipient of the Latin Grammys Lifetime Achievement Award, and holder of over 45 Gold and Platinum records, José Feliciano has been acclaimed by critics around the world as "the greatest living guitarist".
He started his musical life playing the accordion until his father and family friend, Benjamin Borges, gave him his first guitar in a brown paper bag.
He would play by himself in his room for up to 14 hours a day,
Way back when, when I was just getting acquainted with the Perera sisters, my then-future sister-in-law Idoris introduced me to the legendary Cuban musicians Hansel y Raul. I've been a fan ever since.
Their music is happy music.
You don't need to understand Spanish to figure that out.
Just listen with your heart and let your body do what it wants to do naturally!
Hansel y Raul music speaks the universal language of rhythm, fine musicianship, and good times.
They have been part of our household as long as I have been in Miami and a special part of every New Year's Eve celebration

NASA has announced a competitive funding opportunity for informal education that could result in the award of grants or cooperative agreements to several of the nation's science centers, museums and planetariums. Approximately $6 million is available for new awards.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., which leads the Museum Alliance, will conduct an external peer review process for the proposals. Final award selection rests with the Office of Education at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
Proposals for the Competitive Program for Science Museums and Planetariums are expected to use NASA resources to enhance informal education programs related to space exploration, aeronautics, space science, Earth science or microgravity. Full proposals are due Sept. 10, 2009.

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, June 30 (HealthDay News) -- Cotton swabs offer a
cheap, effective way of reducing surgical site infections,
according to researchers.
Daily use of dry cotton swabs to gently probe the incision sites
of patients who'd undergone appendectomy dramatically reduced
surgical site infections, the study revealed. Only 3 percent of
patients who underwent the daily routine developed infections,
compared with 19 percent of patients in a control group whose
incision sites were swabbed with iodine.
Patients in the cotton swab group also had less postoperative
pain, much shorter hospital stays (five versus seven days), and
better cosmetic healing of their incisions, according to the study
published in a recent issue of the
Archives of Surgery.
The researchers believe that using cotton swabs to probe the
incision site enables contaminated fluid trapped within soft
tissues to drain. This may reduce the amount of bacteria in the
wound while maintaining the moist environment needed for successful
wound healing.
"This practice was introduced to me as a surgical resident 15 years ago," study author Dr. Shirin Towfigh, a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said in a medical center news release. "I've used it routinely since then. While I thought all surgeons were aware of this treatment approach, I learned otherwise when I began my professional career. Since it was evident to me that probing certain wounds after surgery resulted in far fewer infections, I developed this clinical trial so that my colleagues across the country could learn about -- and confidently adopt -- the practice."
More than 500,000 surgical site infections occur in the United
States each year. They account for nearly one-quarter of
hospital-acquired infections and are a major cause of illness and
death in hospital patients, the authors noted in the news
More information
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more
surgical site infections.

Men's Basketball
During the 2012-2013 season, The Thunderbird Men, behind Coach Kevin Rice, came within a point of winning its first Region XIII Championship since 2002. The Thunderbirds won the West Division of Region XIII and travelled to Ironwood, Michigan for the Region XIII Championship, falling by a final score of 61-62, in one of the toughest places to play in the Midwest.
Sophomore guard Elijah Bennett and sophomore forward Julito Hutchinson were selected to the All-Region Team. Hutchinson was also a member of the Mon-Dak All-Conference Second Team.
United Tribes Men's Basketball has a storied tradition of championship basketball. The Thunderbirds have appeared in three NJCAA National Tournaments (1997-1998, 1998-1999, 2001-2002), claiming 8th Place in '97-'98, 6th Place in '98-'99, and 8th Place in '01-'02.

Michael Phelps was the biggest story of the Beijing Olympics, when he broke Spitz's seven-gold-medal record. And I was lucky enough to get a shot of it from a very different angle as I was one of the few photographers allowed in the gantry right above the action.
We were only allowed one lens with us at a time for safety reasons, so I went to exchange my 500mm lens for a wider 70-200mm. With the smaller lens in hand, I positioned myself above Phelps' mother and two sisters – thinking he might wave to them from the pool side.
When Phelps began his victory lap, he not only waved to his mother, but walked through a sea of photographers to hug her and that's when I got the image.
Editor's note: Getty Images photographer Ezra Shaw has worked on the Olympic Games, Super Bowl, World Series, Tour de France and numerous other events. His pictures appear in publications around the world. He's won awards in the World Press Photo, Best of Photojournalism Awards, Pictures of the Year International and the Sony World Photography Awards… and here, he tells the story behind one of his most striking Olympic images.

Dog and a Friendly Owl

I would not let the owl around my dog like these people did. the owl could have caused serious injury to the dog. were the caregivers stupid or what? the owl is a predator and has very sharp claws.
Submitted by lisa gerlinger | January 28 2014 | Permalink
the dog could just as easily harm the owl mind you. its pretty clear that these two are buddies and have no intention of harming each other. chill out.

Um, just going to point out that dogs are predators and have very sharp teeth and very strong jaws.

You are a pecker head.
Smarten up, or keep your ridiculous comments to yourself.
Submitted by Mel | January 28 2014 | Permalink
Are you serious? It's a baby owl... Granted, probably one that will forever think dogs aren't predators to fear with their claws and sharp teeth.
Submitted by Salena | January 28 2014 | Permalink
The owl isnt fully grown. He is just playing around with he dog and obviously the dog doesnt mind. If the owl was at all agressive the people would have scared it away since they were also obviously standing there filming this. Chill out, take a chillpill, drink some tea and appreciate a good laugh and cute video.
Submitted by sheryl | January 28 2014 | Permalink
I agree with the other comment I saw...I would have never allowed my dog to be left in this situation. Even if the owl had no predator intent, their claws are huge and sharpe..just watching this I was concerned for the dog's eye. Come on people...the dog looked anxious to me or maybe just watchful, but Not 'Patient and welcoming'.
Submitted by Debbie | January 28 2014 | Permalink
The comment that they are stupid is not a constructive comment. I don't think the people were stupid. I imagine they know their dog's temperament as well at the owls behavior, and felt comfortable about the interaction.
Submitted by Barbara Wertz | January 29 2014 | Permalink
Isn't it obvious that the owl is young and the dog is not at all concerned? I have a book called "Unlikely Friendships" where many animals are paired up and choose to be 'friends' despite predator-prey status. Nat. Geo. did a TV show similar in topic and showed a zoo-born cheetah raised with a Labrador Retriever pup and they have lived together since they were little. Let's all just enjoy what is obviously a lovely video and stop trying to outsmart the other.
Submitted by Carolyn | January 29 2014 | Permalink
We had a rescue owl for 11 years that was free flying outside our home. She and our small dog got along fine. Sometimes it is not all about claws, teeth, predators and carnivores. Different species can form a bond. Sometimes nature can be both charming and innocent. Enjoyed this, thanks.

Diversifying with Secular Investments in a "New Age" Market
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Diversification is always a hot topic among retail investors. In my opinion, there are many who have a skewed perspective when it comes to diversification, believing that index investing is most effective. However, we have more than a decade of proof that this is incorrect, and proper diversification must be changed according to current market conditions. As a result, I am sharing my views, as I have experienced success in a flat market, and am looking at the importance of secular diversification in particular.
This Isn't Your Father's Market
If you were to go into your money manager or financial advisor's office he/she would show you a chart reflecting an incredible annualized return, most likely 30 years, of more than 12.00%. This can be appealing to many, but as many retail investors know, this return is not reflective upon our current market, but rather the bull markets of the '80s and '90s.
In our market, since 2000, the annualized return is under 2%. With that being said, index investing and your father's diversification strategy is not effective in this market. You need a "new age" diversification strategy that will allow for performance in a flat market.
New Age Diversification
A successful portfolio strategy in this market consists of secular, cyclical, and speculative investments that serve an actual purpose within your portfolio. This works more effectively than trying diligently to own a stock in every single industry with no more than 7% of your portfolio being in one stock. The truth is that there is no one size fits all, and diversification should be determined by the size of your portfolio, as goals change with wealth.
One of the key pieces in a new age portfolio that is built to succeed in any market is a balanced position in secular companies. These are investments that will remain consistent regardless of the economy, such as food, drugs, and some retail. Like I said, there is not a one size fits all approach with this strategy -- someone with a smaller portfolio may want fewer secular investments to take on more risk, while someone with a larger portfolio may prefer more secular investments for security. Therefore, here are a few things you want to look for in a good secular investment, and a few good stocks that meet the requirements:
- Low beta (stocks that trade with less volatility than the market)
- P/E ratio below the S&P 500/sector (roughly 16x)
- High yield (investments that outperform bonds)
- High ownership (consistent ownership with institutions)
- History of raising the dividend & returning capital to shareholders
- Industry (no technology or services stocks)
Of course there is more than goes into finding a good investment in addition to the things listed above. However, this is a good starting point, and will allow you to then narrow your selections. Therefore, here are a few top stocks that meet the requirements.
If you have a portfolio in the neighborhood of $200,000 then the above holdings might be ideal. This secular portion of the portfolio has tobacco, beverages, drugs, restaurants, utilities, food processing, and personal & household products. It indirectly is very diversified, yet cherry picks the strong holdings from each industry, rather than index investing in an entire sector and buying the garbage with the diamonds.
So what makes these select few stocks above so special? Honestly, nothing, these are just examples, and would fit into a portfolio. However there are several good selections in the market.
- Lorillard has gained more than 65% over the last five years and still trades below the market in terms of valuation. It is a tobacco company, and if there's anything we've learned it's that people will continue to smoke in any market regardless of its health risks or the number of commercials or politicians that protest against smokers, or regardless of tax increases implemented.
- Most investors prefer Coca-Cola or Pepsico in the beverages space. However Dr Pepper Snapple trades with a lower P/E ratio, better dividend, and has performed better with a 65% gain over the last five years.
- Eli Lilly is among the few large pharma companies expecting flat revenue in 2013, and has been minimally affected by the patent cliff. The company has a great yield and remains consistent in the market.
- McDonald's, much like Lorillard, will perform well regardless of market risks. In fact, McDonald's actually performs better in down markets, most likely because it is affordable for consumers.
- The Southern Company is a utility company in a growing market. Of course there are other good selections such as American Electric or Consolidated Edison, however SO has traded with the least amount of volatility; exactly what you seek in a secular investment.
- Procter & Gamble is the preferred choice in the household products space; however The Clorox Company is the better investment. Clorox is expected to see greater growth in 2013, is cheaper compared to sales, pays a better dividend, has returned more capital to shareholders, has a lower beta, and higher institutional ownership. Therefore, it's better.
In my new book, Taking Charge With Value Investing (McGraw-Hill) I discuss diversification on many different levels, and the topic in this article barely scratches the surface of new age diversification. However, the idea of how to diversify in a flat market remains the same -- that is to prepare for a flat market but to be prepared for a bull market with good value investments. The principles in this article provide a good head start in preparing yourself for the next decade.

Welcome to my very first post at FabFatale.com! There are so many things that I've wanted to share over the years, mainly crafts and cooking, and now I'm so happy that I have a space to blog about anything and everything I love. Now that the possibilities are endless, of course I was stumped on what to blog about first, so I thought I'd start with my favorite craft project to date – my wedding invitations!
My airline ticket invitations took a ton of planning, trial and error. I wanted the dimensions and the type of paper, a thin semi-gloss, to be as realistic as possible. I even perforated both ends, added a barcode, and seat assignment (my husband sat in seat 5B when he went to pick up my engagement ring and kept the ticket, awww), just like a real airline ticket.
I'm happy to provide the templates I created for my invitations; however, you must have Adobe Photohshop to open and edit the files.
After I printed the invitations (you may print 3 per page to save paper), I used a Cutterpede Paper Trimmer for scoring and perforating the tickets. The Cutterpede comes with a scoring blade; however, the Cutterpede Perforating Blade is sold separate. I have included dots on all 4 corners of the invitations so that you may score straight lines easily. Of course I had to have rounded corners, so I punched them out using a Corner Rounding Punch tool.
I used blue paper for the envelopes, and printed on both sides – one side for the fold lines and the other side for the bride and groom's name. The outer edges were cut with the Cutterpede and the slit for inserting the ticket was cut with a craft knife. After you have made all of your folds, apply a thin line of craft glue at the fold, top, and bottom of the envelope. The only unglued opening should be the slit for the ticket.
Since my wedding was at the beach, I ran with the theme for EVERYTHING. There was only surf at my wedding, no turf :) I literally sent out 50 boxes full of invitation goodies that I had made including the airline ticket invitations and envelopes, a "Greetings from Carillon" RSVP postcard with a hibiscus flower stamp I made at Zazzle.com, a passport with everything guests needed to know about the big weekend, and suntan lotion in our sunset wedding colors. I filled the boxes with Excelsior to keep things natural and beachy.
If you'd like me to do a post on any of the other invitation items you see in the pic, let me know. Thanks so much for stopping by my new blog and I hope you'll keep in touch :)

Hi. What an original idea for a wedding invitation. In Europe it's never that elaborate unfortunately. Did you really send a box to all your guests? Wasn't that A LOT of work?

I am so happy you are blogging here now – I can't wait to follow and keep up with your posts. I LOVE this blog you have here!
This is EXACTLY what we were thinking for our La Jolla wedding and I LOVE that you shared! Hiow did you do the maps? Anything else for a beach/travle themed wedding that you thought was amazing??
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this! I could not do it myself on photoshop so this is heaven sent. And I have bumped into so many dead ends with this format because they always came with a fee. This is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks again.
[...] posted my diy airline ticket invitations {complete with a downloadable template file} a few months ago, and have had several requests to see [...]
Do you mind telling me how you created the map? I am actually having my wedding at Carillon Beach next April and want to include a smaller 1 page version in my welcome bags.
What kind of paper did you use for the envelopes?
[...] since I designed my sister's owl themed baby shower invitations, my beach airline ticket invitations, and my maternity Christmas card I swore off ever buying another template card or invitation [...]
As you were trying to make it realistic…would you share what kind if paper did you use for the airline ticket? I'm trying to do the same here… :)
Hi, these are fabulous!! What grade of paper did you end up going with?

Jim Leyland's first clubhouse appearance following his team's AL Central Division-clinching win came in the arms of Torii Hunter.
But his exit might be one of Internet legend.
"I got Skip! I got Skip!" Hunter yelled as he carried his manager out of his office and into the soaked celebration room.
Leyland smiled wide and did an impressive moonwalk attempt before retreating to his office. It was truly one of the night's highlights.

LOS ANGELES, CA.—Jim L. Mora, hired as University of California, Los Angeles" href="../topic/education/colleges-universities/university-of-california-los-angeles-OREDU0000192268.topic">UCLA's football coach late Friday night, said he will immerse himself in the college game in the coming weeks, though he was unsure how involved he would be in the UCLA Bruins" href="../topic/sports/college-sports/ucla-bruins-ORSPT000000294.topic">Bruins' preparation for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl" href="../topic/sports/football/college-football/kraft-fight-hunger-bowl-EVSPR000202.topic">Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
Mora, 50, became the highest-paid coach in UCLA history when he agreed to a five-year deal worth about $12 million. He expects to be at UCLA early this week, possibly as soon as Monday. He takes over a Bruins program that has not kept pace with Pacific-12 Conference" href="../topic/sports/college-sports/pacific-12-conference-ORSPT00000247.topic">Pac-12 Conference powers for more than a decade. UCLA has not won a conference title since 1998.
Rick Neuheisel, fired on Nov. 28, had a 21-29 record in four seasons. He was 0-4 against both USC Trojans" href="../topic/sports/college-sports/usc-trojans-ORSPT000001132.topic">USC and Oregon Ducks" href="../topic/sports/college-sports/oregon-ducks-ORSPT00000229.topic">Oregon, the teams that finished first in the Pac-12 South and North divisions this season.
"I can't give a genuine answer right now," Mora said when asked why the Bruins have lagged behind the conference powers. But, he said, "we are going to run as fast as we can toward them and work as hard as we can to close the gap. Our goal is to close it right now."
Athletic Director Dan Guerrero said Mora was on "my short list" from the beginning, though UCLA first went after Boise State Coach Chris Petersen and also reached out to Miami Coach Al Golden. A UCLA representative also approached Washington Huskies" href="../topic/sports/college-sports/washington-huskies-ORSPT000000301.topic">Washington Coach Steve Sarkisian.
Guerrero said that Mora had "high energy" and was "hard-nosed." He said he was sold after speaking with players and coaches who knew Mora.
Mora, former coach of the Atlanta Falcons" href="../topic/sports/football/atlanta-falcons-ORSPT000032.topic">Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks" href="../topic/sports/football/seattle-seahawks-ORSPT000058.topic">Seattle Seahawks, said he would meet with the current UCLA staff this week. The Bruins begin practice Sunday for their bowl game against Illinois in San Francisco on Dec. 31. Mora said he will wait to determine whether he will have a hand in preparing for that game.
"We'll decide the best way go forward," Mora said. "We want to make sure the players and coaches who worked so hard to win the Pac 12 South and earn a bowl bid enjoy the experience."
Mora's immediate chore will be to get acclimated with the college game. He has only one year of college coaching experience, as a graduate assistant at Washington in 1984.
But Mora said he spent more than a year researching the college game, with hopes of jumping even though he interviewed for NFL assistant jobs at Denver and Philadelphia.
The "challenges" he said he will face on the college level include the limited amount of practice time, as opposed to the NFL, where "you had your guys all day long," Mora said.
"Coaching in college and the NFL is like two different sports, especially at a place like UCLA with so much red tape to get through," said Greg Biggins, assistant recruiting editor and west regional coordinator for ESPN (tv network)" href="../topic/sports/espn-%28tv-network%29-HOC792.topic">ESPN. But recruiting, Biggins said, is the biggest challenge for Mora.
"I don't think they're going to have a monster class, but at least if they get some things going and win a few games they'll probably have a bigger impact next year," Biggins said.
Mora said he wasn't "naive enough" to think he could become an "expert recruiter" in one day, but that he would "surround myself with people who do it and inject my personality."
Whether any of the current staff will be part of that effort is unknown. Mora said he would "get with the guys currently on staff and talk to them before we go any further. They deserve that from me."
Three current staff members are under contract for next season, though run-game coordinator Jim Mastro will join Washington State Cougars" href="../topic/sports/college-sports/washington-state-cougars-ORSPT000000302.topic">Washington State's staff after the bowl game. Offensive coordinator Mike Johnson" href="../topic/sports/mike-johnson-PESPT003691.topic">Mike Johnson will get $390,000 and defensive coordinator Joe Tresey $250,000 in 2012. The $235,000 owed Mastro probably will be pro-rated after he signs with Washington State.
Mora said that he is not required to keep any current assistant coaches.
Guerrero said he would seek a waiver from the National Collegiate Athletic Association" href="../topic/sports/college-sports/national-collegiate-athletic-association-ORSPT000122.topic">NCAA to allow UCLA to exceed the number of coaches on staff through its bowl game. Ohio State was granted such a waiver this week.

US Attorney is called a 'traitor' at event to improve Muslim relations
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Jun 5, 2013, 07:09 pm CDT
U.S. Attorney Bill Killian of Knoxville, Tenn., was called a traitor and heckled frequently and loudly by audience members at an event Tuesday evening called to improve relations with the Muslim community.
The event sponsored by the American Muslim Advisory Council, was countered by a large group of protesters, both outside and inside the facility. Hecklers were sometimes so raucous that Killian could not be heard, the Tennessean reports. One audience member, Elaine Smith, told the newspaper the interruptions were so intense that she was afraid of some of the protesters.
Killian told the audience that hate speech is allowed, but threats of violence can be prosecuted, according to the the Chattanooga Times Free Press account of the event. He said that despite 50 convictions for hate crimes in his district, the Eastern District of Tennessee, "far too many people are still repeating the same vicious acts against the Arab-Muslim …" His point was cut off by shouts from the crowd.

Dinner & A Little History in Lockport
Topic: "Searching for Marquette: A Pilgrimage in Art". Through monuments and artwork, Ruth D. Nelson retells the story of the 17th-century French Jesuit missionary-explorer, Father Jacques Marquette, the celebrated surveyor of the Mississippi River.

Searching for Marquette follows his journey through today's cities and towns in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Arkansas to uncover French relics, Native-American royalty, and hearty settlers in a drama of faith, the fur trade and the future of America's heartland. Speaker: Ruth Nelson lives in Downers Grove, Illinois and writes on art in the Midwestern United States.

What could be better on a hot summer's day than an ice-cream party? Definitely a theme your little one and their friends are going to love! This is such a fun theme to plan for as you can do so much with a ice cream bar with a range of toppings and sauces! Suitable for either a boy or girl and another theme with a range of colour scheme options!

So many wonderful options for coloured ice cream cups, some of which also come with traditional wooden spoons:
How sweet is this ice cream truck which comes with this cups & spoons set? Would make a great decoration at the party!

A 12-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy were stabbed multiple times in the attack.
A lawsuit has been filed in the case of a fatal accident involving an on-duty Pinal County deputy.
The family of Jeffrey Sorenson, 57, a retired Army officer and former Department of Defense executive, filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Deputy Robert Steele, Pinal County and Sheriff Paul Babeu.
[Click here to read the lawsuit (PDF)]
The crash happened Aug. 30, 2012, about 10 p.m. on U.S. 60 near Gold Canyon Ranch, east of the Valley. No one saw the accident happen.
Steele's patrol car slammed into Sorenson's truck. Sorenson was thrown from his truck and pronounced dead at the scene. Steele was seriously injured and airlifted to the hospital.
Six days later, Department of Public Safety detectives interviewed Steele at the hospital. He had no reported memory and there were no witnesses, so DPS had to rely on technology and science to reconstruct the crash.
The exhaustive investigation determined Sorenson was turning left into his subdivision and pulled out in front of the on-duty deputy, who was westbound on U.S. 60. The report indicates the deputy "T-boned" Sorenson's vehicle.
Steele was found to be speeding, and evidence indicates a possibility of inattentive driving. The patrol car's GPS system recorded Steele going 97 mph at the time of the crash.
Other on-board computers indicate the deputy never applied his brakes before impact. Records show the deputy was not responding to a call, and witnesses who saw him speed past them say he did not have his police lights on or siren activated.
An autopsy revealed Sorenson's alcohol level was 0.21, more than twice the legal limit. He also was not wearing a seatbelt.
Despite Sorenson's alcohol level, DPS investigators determined Steele's driving was so reckless that a manslaughter charge was appropriate. They turned the report over to newly elected Pinal County Attorney Lando Voyles, who refused to press charges.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Sorenson's wife, daughter, son and mother. The suit claims negligence on the part of Steele, who at multiple times before the accident was clocked at speeds over 100 mph. The suit also blames Pinal County and the Babeu for not properly supervising and training Steele.
The suit seeks damages for grief, loss of income and compensatory damages, as well as attorney's fees.
Pinal County and the sheriff's office would not comment on the pending litigation.
While Steele was never prosecuted for manslaughter, he was given a 12-hour suspension for violating policy. He is appealing that punishment.

FBI spying on Muslim groups: US rights activists The FBI has spied and compiled information on Muslim community groups under the cover of holding outreach meetings with their representatives, a US rights organization said Thursday. The American Civil Liberties Union issued a report saying the Federal Bureau of Investigation had overstepped its authority and was violating the trust of groups that agreed to meet law enforcement officers. The report was based on government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. "The FBI has been illegally using its community outreach programs to secretly collect and store information about activities… for intelligence purposes," the ACLU said. According to Michael German, a former FBI agent who works with the ACLU, using such sessions to spy on people only backfired.
"The trust that community outreach efforts aim to create is undermined when the FBI exploits these programs to gather intelligence on the very members of the religious and community organizations agents are meeting with," he said.
"The FBI should be honest with community organizations about what information is being collected during meetings and purge any improperly collected information."
The ACLU already has filed a lawsuit in California alleging that the FBI paid an informant to spy on mosques in the state. According to US media reports, the New York Police Department has also engaged in systematic intelligence gathering at city mosques, monitoring sermons and local residents.

With so much spam email out there -- you may have dismissed an e-mail in your inbox from Facebook regarding a class action lawsuit.
A lot of people hit the delete button thinking it's a scam, but it turns out the lawsuit is real. If you're willing to file a claim, you could get a check in the mail.
The title of the email: "Notice of Pending Class Action and Notice of Proposed Settlement." Thousands logged on and found it in their inbox, including Facebook user Marcus Steele.
"I said move on, moved it to the trash bin," says Steele.
But it's actually not a scam -- it's a legitimate lawsuit filed in California -- and it centers around those sponsored stories you see next to your news feed. Attorney Maria Speth explains.
"What Facebook was doing -- if you liked a business page and they were using it to sell ads to the business and the business would pay for a sponsored ad on the side that said 'John Doe likes Starbucks,'" says Maria Speth, Jaburg & Wilk.
The problem, says Speth, is that by law Facebook doesn't have permission to use a user's name or image without their permission.
So Facebook agreed to a settlement of $20 million, but if you're hoping for a hefty paycheck --think again -- the most you could get is $10.
In order to see any money at all, you have to fill out a claim.
"If you're going to fill out a claim that you believe your name was used in this way, you have to say that you didn't know it would be commercialized and you have to say you were injured by it," says Speth.
Even though the money isn't much, some Facebook users say the message it sends is far more valuable.
"Kind of shows Facebook, they shouldn't be doing those things and they should take more action to protect their users," says Facebook user Allison Girvin.
