Car drives into building; man injured

A Gadsden man was airlifted to UAB Hospital in Birmingham on Monday after the car in which he was a passenger drove into a building on Piedmont Cutoff.
Hospital officials on Tuesday said Robert Dumas, 30, was in fair condition. The driver, Garrett Charlton Chase, 20, was not injured in the wreck.
A preliminary report by Gadsden Police said about 5:13 p.m. Monday, a 2007 Chevrolet was traveling west at about 70 mph on Piedmont Cutoff when the car began to veer off to the right. The driver said he pulled the steering wheel back toward the road, but ran off instead.
He said once the vehicle hit the ditch, he blacked out. When he woke up, his car was in the building, which is used by the East Gadsden Church of the Nazarene for its youth ministry. The building is between Campbell and Sheffield avenues.
Witnesses verified the driver's story and said he was going "extremely fast," then ran off the road, into a ditch and eventually into the church building.
Police Capt. Bobby Jackson said no charges are expected in connection with the accident.

Scottish singer Susan Boyle, who became an overnight sensation after appearing on "Britain's Got Talent" in 2009, says she found out a year ago that she has a form of autism known as Asperger's syndrome.
Boyle, 52, revealed the diagnosis in an interview with the Observer newspaper on Saturday. She said she finally sought help after years of believing she suffered from brain damage and being teased for being different.
British singing star Susan Boyle, who shot to fame after her appearance on "Britain's Got Talent," is busy these days, embarking on her first live tour in the UK… and she's looking for Mr. Right.Scottish Sun, Boyle said, "I want to find a man, but it's hard with all the traveling I do. I really want to start going on dates and I've asked my friends to set me up with a good man, if they can find one. I'd like to settle down one day."
At the 68th Venice Film Festival, George Clooney promoted his new political film, "Ides of March," in which he plays a presidential candidate, but said he is not looking to be one in real life. "Look, there's a guy in office right now who's smarter than almost everyone you know, who's nicer and who has more compassion than almost anyone you know. And he's having an almost impossible time governing. Why would anybody volunteer for that job?"

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Holli Crowe's daughter, Macie, is an 11 year old with Down's syndrome and Autism.
Crowe's biggest fear, just like any other parent, is Macie will wander away from home and she will not be able to find her.
However, the Craighead County Sheriff's Department has a program to find her.
It's called Project Lifesaver, a search system for people with Alzheimer's, Autism and Down's syndrome. They wear a bracelet with a tracker so if they do wander away, the department can easily find them.
"She is, for the most part, very outgoing, very loving, very fun," Crowe said. "But she is easy to wander. She has no fear. She is not scared of anything or anybody. I don't know if there's anything that would stop her."
"We wanted to make sure that if she would get away from us that we would be able to get ahold of her quick. That someone could help us find her," Crowe said.
That someone is the Craighead County Sheriff's Department.
"Its design is for it to help us find them quickly," investigator Justin Rolland said. "Time is very, very important."
Rolland said when people go missing, it often takes hours, days, sometimes months to find them.
"When the call comes in and we have this lost person and we search and we search with negative results, only to find the person deceased the very next day or the following night, it's just discouraging," Rolland said.
Project Lifesaver cuts this search time down to about 30 minutes. The bracelet sends out a signal, which the sheriff's department and community can pick up with vehicle and handheld trackers to locate the missing person.
"Having these volunteers is worth its wait in gold," Rolland said. "When you have an additional ten to 15 people to show up to help in that search, along with the monitoring devices, it's absolutely imperative."
So far, the department has not needed to use Project Lifesaver to find a missing person, and neither has Macie's family.
"I hope we never have to use it, but it's peace of mind knowing that we have it," Crowe said.
The sheriff's department is currently working with the Jonesboro Elks Lodge to make sure every child who needs a bracelet gets one. Elks Lodge received a $9,000 grant back in November for Project Lifesaver.
"Every parent who has a child that may wander or an elder that may wander, it's important that they have that device," Elks Lodge member Lynn Cooper said. "It could happen at school, it could happen at home, with a friend so this way they're protected whoever they're with."
If anyone has a loved one who would benefit from Project Lifesaver, e-mail Justin Rolland at email@example.com or Philip Wheaton at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Best Ride in America Tournament: Round one, day eight
Written by Robert Niles
Two brutally close match-ups yesterday. In fact, I had to dig into the admin code to find out that the contests actually were tied when I went to close them, so I waited for three votes to be cast on each to decide the winners. Universal Studios Florida's Men in Black Alien Attack eliminated Disneyland's classic Matterhorn Bobsleds and Disney's Animal Kingdom's Dinosaur scraped ahead of Busch Gardens Europe's Apollo's Chariot.Tweet
The other two races were not as close, with BGE's Griffon taking out USF's Jaws and Animal Kingdom's Kilimanjaro Safaris blowing out Legoland California's Knights Tournament.
Tonight, we wrap up round one with our last four match-ups:
It's Disneyland against neighbor California Adventure with (2) Indiana Jones Adventure vs. (63) Monsters, Inc: Mike and Sulley to the Rescue.
Busch Gardens Africa's SheiKra seems to have lost a lot of support on the site since I seeded the tournament. Will it retain enough support to avoid being the latest coaster upset by a family dark ride? (10) SheiKra vs. (55) High In The Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride
Two roller coasters with devoted followings battle in (18) Thunderhead vs. (47) The Riddler's Revenge
Finally, it is another classic Disney vs. Universal match-up, with (26) Dueling Dragons - Ice vs. (39) Mission: Space
Let's keep the great comments coming. Tomorrow: Round two begins!
Readers' Opinions
From Ryan L on March 23, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Thunderhead is a far superior coaster to Riddler. Riddler really is just another looping coaster, there a hundreds of them. Thunderhead is the best wooden rollercoaster I have been on by far: smooth (by wood standards), turny, fast, and overall a great and exhilarating ride.
From Robert OGrosky on March 23, 2008 at 10:23 PM
I would also agree that ThunderHead is a great coaster, and much better than Riddlers Revenge which is a decent coaster, but nothing special!!
From Joshua Counsil on March 24, 2008 at 12:59 AM
My only real passion for this race is with Mission: Space. The attraction is so great, and such a change for Epcot, but it gets so much negative press because of the unfortunate circumstances that have occurred. Plus the Ice track of Dragons pales to the Fire track, in my opinion. Fire would have been closer.
With all these Disney-philes keeping minor attractions as highly rated as headliners, the berating just keeps coming from both sides.
You must stop this contest at once, Robert. Can't you see it's tearing America apart??!!
From James Rao on March 24, 2008 at 4:38 AM
I agree with Joshua...you gotta go with Mission:SPACE. It is probably one of the most original rides at any theme park. From the detailed queuing area, to the excellent intro movie, to the awesome experience itself, this is simply one of the best thrill rides at any park. A perfect combination of technology and story.
As for Thunderhead, it is a Great Coasters, International masterpiece (they also made Gwazi at BGA, in case you need a reference). If you have not ridden a coaster made by them, you really need to...the way their tracks circle back on themselves, over and over again is just amazing. Everything they do seems to be patterned after old time coaster designer Harry Traver who built the Crystal Beach Cyclone back in 1927...a coaster that kept a nurse on hand just to revive riders who fainted!
If you are a wooden coaster fan you owe to yourself to vote for Thunderhead!
From Mike K on March 24, 2008 at 5:20 AM
I'd would much rather ride Ice Dragon than Space any day.
From brian lochridge on March 24, 2008 at 7:59 AM
That Mission Space/ Ice was a tough one for me. I ended up going with Ice since DD is my favorite ride and I know the Disney mob will give Mission Space all the votes it wants.
Glad to see SheiKra making an appearance. I have her in my final 4 along with Hulk, Spiderman, and EE.
As far as the Fan boys go, Disney fan boys are like the rich kids from the private school. They feel entitled to everything and if you say something negative about them they get upset. Cedar Point fan boys are a whole different animal. They are more like the kids that didn't have anything going up and now that they have made it in life have a huge chip on there shoulder. Both annoy the hell out of me since they can't see past the nose on there own face.
From Iris Hernandez on March 24, 2008 at 7:59 AM
Oh Lord that last one really had me thinking hard, being that I love both just as much as the other one. Ultimately I picked Mission Space, but probably because if it was raining and thundering outside I can still ride it. I almost had to flip a coin, seriously...
From Justin Spisto on March 24, 2008 at 9:17 AM
If Thundergead loses to Riddlers Revenge im giving up all hope on the tournament. El Toro,Apollo's Chariot and Loch Ness Monster lost already.
From Mike K on March 24, 2008 at 9:21 AM
I voted for Riddler's because I know the CP coasters can beat it, Thunderhead would be a tougher battle.
From Bradley Robertson on March 24, 2008 at 10:08 AM
I had the same issue. But then I realized on my last visit to Florida I used my hopper pass to ride Mission: Space and that was the only thing I did at Epcot that day. I also felt compelled to pick it because it was in my final four.
From Scottland Jacobson on March 24, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Thunderhead, by far, is the best woodie out there. It's a smooth, fast, twisting, spectacular ride. One of my top 5 coasters I've ever ridden. Riddler's is good, but Thunderhead is the absolute bomb! I agree with the previous posts - I'm going to very, very disappointed if this one doesn't pull through!
And Mission: Space vs. Ice Dragon!?!? Robert - you're giving me heartburn with these decisions!! Mission Space is so inventive, I went with it for my vote - saving my Dragons vote for Fire. But that was a tough decision because Dueling Dragons is such a spectacular coaster.
From Robert Niles on March 24, 2008 at 1:33 PM
The heartburn only gets worse in the second round.... ;-)
From brian lochridge on March 24, 2008 at 2:23 PM
Who's in your Final 4? Who do you think will be there? Is your bracket holding up or has an early upset ruined everything. My Final 4, Like I said before is Shekra, Hulk, Spiderman and EE.
From Derek Potter on March 24, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Thunderhead is suffering from lack of readers who have ridden it. Riddlers Revenge is a good coaster, but few things in the amusement park world compare to the fun of a GCI coaster. It is a bit sad if you are voting for a ride because it has a better chance of losing to a Cedar Point ride. Thunderhead is the better ride, so vote for it. I did, unfortunately it probably wouldn't make it past round 2.
Sheikra made to round 2 for me only because of it's opponent. Seuss just didn't cut it for me, even if Sheikra is another vertical dive coaster that's too short of a ride, it got my vote.
Mission Space also got my vote. Even though it's a glorified gravitron with a lot of bells and whistles, they are Disney bells and whistles. They do a great job of creating a extraordinary experience out of an old carnival ride. and I stand by my opinion that both Dueling Dragons coasters are the 6th and 7th best B&M inverted coasters in America. The Indy Jones/Monsters Inc isn't even close.
The fanboy thing is bound to happen. Such happens when contests like this take place. The thing about people voting when they haven't ridden is going to happen too. It's kind of like the presidential election, when uninformed, uneducated people blindly vote along party lines. I don't agree with it, but what can you do. One thing you can say about Disney and Cedar Point, they have loyal fans. Some are blind it's true, but both places must be doing something right. My only issue is the overabundance of Disney/Universal rides present in the tournament at the expense of worthy rides from other parks.
From Kevin Sowinski on March 24, 2008 at 2:35 PM
I don't understand some of the votes cast by people, so far. The main problem seems to be park accessibility. Parks and rides off the Florida and California path are getting the shaft. If you've ridden both Thunderhead and Riddler's Revenge, I don't think most can say that they like Riddler's Revenge more. However, most people have only ridden RR, so it wins. Mission space is such a unique ride, even though I am a bit of a Disney critic, there is no way I could vote for Ice over MS. Apollo's Chariot,Popeye and Bluto, and El Toro were also robbed.
From James Rao on March 24, 2008 at 3:00 PM
It is just a shame to see Mission: Space and Thunderhead going down the tubes.
For Thunderhead I broke my vow and voted for it despite not having ridden the Riddler. Dollywood needs some props as it is probably the best of the smaller, but true theme parks in America (Silver Dollar City is another good one).
As for Mission:SPACE, it really is a Disney masterpiece, and embodies everything that makes them great: theming, story, and technology. I would pick it over either Dueling Dragons track, even though I am a huge Dueling Dragons/IOA fanboy. If there truly is a Disney contingent out there lurking in the wings, I hope they log on and vote soon!
From brian lochridge on March 24, 2008 at 3:08 PM
Derek, how can you rate DD as the 6th and 7th best inverted coasters? Your Logic of taking the rides separate from each other doesn't work with me. I will agree that alone each ride wouldn't be that great but that's not the point of the ride. It's a dueling inverted coaster with 3 near misses, not a stand alone invert. Taking them alone is like taking the launch out of the Hulk or the height out of Millennium Force and saying they just aren't great coasters. You have to look at the ride as a whole not as two different coasters. I'm not saying it's number one that belongs to Montu or Alpengeist, but after those two there is no better experience than DD.
From Derek Potter on March 24, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Raptor at Cedar Point
Silver Bullet at Knotts
Top Gun at Carowinds.
Three other inverted coasters along with Montu and Alpengeist that are better rides in my opinion, than either of the Dueling Dragons rides. I count Dueling Dragons as two rides because that is what this tournament is doing. I think it's a bit strange to separate the attraction into two coasters, but the "fire" side won a couple of days ago over El Toro (another shame), so I'm playing ball a little bit on that one. How can you give the ride two spots on the bracket, yet call it one ride in another sentence? Aside from that though, even with the couple of near "misses" with the other track, it doesn't do enough for me to hold it over the other rides. I've ridden them all, and other than the queue, there is nothing that either DD track...combined or not, has over the other five.
By the way, this tournament was a great idea. It is revealing some things about the demographics and geographic regions that are represented on the site. It's also probably generating more traffic and acknowledgement from other websites. I've been hanging around TPI for a while now, and there hasn't really been spirited debate around here for a while. Nothing like a theme vs thrill ride to fix that, even if the odds are stacked in Orlando's favor.
From Scottland Jacobson on March 24, 2008 at 8:24 PM
These are interesting insights into people favoring certain parks. I've been to almost all of the parks that we're voting on (almost) and I'm voting on the rides that I think are the best - doesn't matter if they're at Disney, Cedar Fair, Universal, Six Flags or Dollywood. A good ride is a good ride - no matter what park it's in.
From Joshua Counsil on March 24, 2008 at 8:57 PM
Looks like today's close-call is Mission: Space and Dueling Dragons: Ice. And I have to say, I completely agree with Derek.
Dueling Dragons is good, but not great. (My buddy and I had this fight last night. He thinks DD is IOA's best attraction, whereas I believe Spiderman takes the cake. But I digress ...)
All variables aside (and there aren't many), DD is just another inverted coaster, and it pales in comparison to, say, Montu. It loads slowly, has a horrendously long and only mildly interesting queue, and features the most unenthusiastic loading staff at any theme park I've ever seen. Think of the pimply faced teenager from The Simpsons.
Mission: Space, by contrast, is innovative (yes, it's similar to a gravitron in nature, but way more intricate), exciting, enthralling, and, best of all, features Gary Sinise.

I was browsing Tumblr looking for music recommendations and came across one for an album called "Follow Your Heart". I searched for it on Spotify and found what I thought I was looking for but it was actually another album with the same title. I like the one I found better than the one that was recommended. The artist is Nathan Angelo. It's a little more pop than what I listen to, but I'm enjoying it.
Edit: My ears got bored with it.
Starting my day with coffee and Wired magazine's article on APPLE AFTER STEVE JOBS. Blazing through this week to get to the weekend.
Awesome insight. Especially when he gets to the part about the right hand and internal timing.
I downloaded Editions for iPad yesterday morning. I am usually not big on anything by AOL, but to me it's like a free edition of The Daily. Needless to say, I am liking it so far.
I am very excited about visiting Stumptown Coffee Roasters in NYC. Ever since I read the article about the company in Entrepreneur magazine I have been wanting to visit one of the stores!
The end of an era? Don't go, Prince.
Can't wait to meet you, New York City. It's been a long time coming.
Enjoying the new Tony Bennett record. I will be sure to load it onto the iPod for the upcoming trip.

We lived in the farm house and used the studios and galleries for creating our newest dance work. This was a highly enjoyable and fruitful experience. As a group who usually works in a city, under the constraints of time and space, working at Ross Creek was quite the opposite. Having virtually unlimited access to the studios, a willing and supportive staff and a quiet, inspiring environment to work in, proved to be very conducive to our creative process."
-Susann Chiu, Dancer
Residency and Colony
Both residencies and colony programs bring emerging and established artists of all disciplines and cultures together for 4-12 week retreats staying onsite in our 90 year old farmhouse and using our spectacular facilities.
A colony is an experience where the visiting artist wishes to work without reference to the Centre's wider community. There is usually only one moment where they will be asked to interact with the public during their stay, if appropriate. The identified project for the artist is paramount and their complete focus.
A residency is also project based, but also provides many possibilities to interact with the community, as a teacher or mentor. Residencies see the artist engaging our community through programs developed in conjunction with our programming staff and administered by Ross Creek. We match artists' interests and skills with the needs of our community to provide our rural community with the best possible experience. Sometimes, we accept residencies for a particular piece of art to be created at the Centre, especially large scale sculpture or garden works that can live in the landscape here. Our outreach and education programs bring professional colony artists together with our community.
PROFESSIONAL ARTIST COLONY – ALL DISCIPLINES – Click here to apply
Artist Colony Submissions now being accepted for 2014-2015.
The Ross Creek Centre for the Arts invites visual, new media, musicians and other performing artists and craftspeople to submit proposals for the Ross Creek Centre artist colony. We invite submissions from artists from around the world and from all disciplines of performing and visual arts, literature, academic writing, fine craft, new media and architecture.
Upcoming deadlines: March 1, July 1, October 1
The Ross Creek Centre provides great experiences for artists who wish to live in a retreat setting while in an artistic venue. Our Colony and Residency programs provide a spectacular rural environment along with the gifts of time and space to inspire talented artists of all disciplines. A Ross Creek Colony consists of use of a studio, accommodations, and three prepared meals a day for between four and eight weeks.
Ross Creek Colony and Residency artist applicants are all interviewed by our colony director, then selected by a jury of peers who are familiar with Ross Creek and who represent different disciplines.
The Centre offers residencies to professional creative artists from all nations and backgrounds working in one or more of the following media: Dance, film, writing, theatre, music, visual art, performance art, photography, and video. Artists may apply individually or as members of collaborative teams. They are selected by panels of other professional artists. The residency and colony does cost $562.50 (CDN) per week for an individual artist (including all room, board, transport to and from airport and private studio) before any fellowship or bursaries, and we encourage all artists to apply and to discuss options if they require financial aid.
Residencies last from two weeks to four months.
Special Programs:
Collaborative Artist Colony Opportunity
Deadline: February 15, 2014, Colony: April 2014
We are inviting applications from artists of all disciplines around the world to participate in this unique 2-week residency based in collaboration and the environment.We encourage use of found objects on the property, and the residency will be both based in individual work and facilitated collaboration, leading to a public show/sharing of the work at the end of the process. This is a special residency and costs only $285 per person before financial aid.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information
Long Term Work Exchange Residency opportunity
Residencies at Ross Creek are a fantastic way for artists to explore their creative side in a new setting with a new community!
Along with its short-term residencies, Ross Creek is seeking artists to participate in longer term residencies and become integral to our community during their stay. We are searching for one long term artist per season who is looking for a residency posting for the fall 2014 or winter 2015 term and is also interested in doing some handy work around the centre. The candidate, in visual or media arts, writing, architecture, film, theatre, dance or music, would ideally have his or her own transportation and would have a working knowledge of carpentry, gardening etc, a great work ethic, and a positive and helpful demeanor. With access to a private studio space 24 hours a day, the artist can focus on their own work while also completing their work exchange hours. For collaborators, we can arrange collaboration times for a larger group to participate in the residency.
We are hoping to have someone from September through December 15, and a different artist from January 15 to April 15, with a small fee paid by the artist for food and heat in the farmhouse.

Baked Bronzer for Face and Body
Item No.1239321016
Urban Decay is all for the joys of baking - just never in the sun - which is why they created Baked Bronzer. Explore the tantalizing range of shades and finishes if your objective is alluring sun-kissed skin that looks totally natural! This super fine powder is baked on a terra cotta disc for 24 hours and then hand-finished by a factory full of motherly Italian women.
Tips: Apply dry with a fat brush for a light dusting of summer sun, or use it wet with a sponge for a deeper St. Tropez shade. Because the formula is cooked, not pressed, the powder returns to a micro-fine feel after being wet - without glazing!
- Free gifts are while stocks last. Gift is out of stock if not added to bag & NOT valid if used with a discount promo code
- Shade Descriptions: Baked: bronze shimmer, Gilded: bronze shimmer w/veins of gold and Toasted: matte - no shimmer.
Deliveries are between 8am - 6pm, Mon - Sat.
FREE if you pay with your Debenhams card
FREE delivery on all orders over £30 (normally £3.99)
Deliver to store for collection ( 160 participating stores ) FREE

Welcome to the Home of The Boston Jazz Chronicles
Troy Street Publishing is an independent publisher developing print and online content about the social and regional history of Boston and Massachusetts in the middle years of the twentieth century. Visit About Us to see what's doing on Troy Street.
Troy Street's first book, The Boston Jazz Chronicles: Faces, Places, and Nightlife 1937–1962, is the first book to examine the lively story of Boston and its music at mid-century. It is the definitive source of information for jazz fans and students, researchers and librarians, and any reader interested in Boston's social history. The cast of characters includes Sabby Lewis, Lawrence Berk, Jaki Byard, Nat Pierce, Charlie Mariano, Joe Gordon, George Wein, Herb Pomeroy, Sam Rivers, George Frazier, Symphony Sid Torin, Nat Hentoff, Frankie Newton, Father Norman O'Connor, and many others.
They're all in the pages of this book. Look on the Jazz Chronicles page for more information, including an excerpt from Chapter 4 and an expanded table of contents.
Check out the reviews and testimonials from Arts Fuse, Library Journal, Nat Hentoff, Carol Sloane, George Wein, Eric Jackson, Bob Porter, and more.
News from Troy Street
Another hobby: I have started selling some of the mountain of jazz memorabilia that I've accumulated over the last decade on EBay. I'm selling jazz magazines from the 1950s to the 1970s, photos, concert memorabilia, LPs, and whatever else emerges from the attic. To view what's on offer today, use the EBay advanced search option and under Sellers, search for my seller ID, rpv651.
Michael Steinman, of the popular blog Jazz Lives wrote a very positive review of The Boston Jazz Chronicles in February. Read the full review here, and if you don't know Jazz Lives, please explore it and enjoy the fine music that Michael consistently posts.
Our friends at the Harvard Book Store in Cambridge have informed me that The Boston Jazz Chronicles has been added to their library of titles that can be printed on demand on their Espresso Book Machine. The book is never out of stock—if you don't see it on the shelves, they can print you one. Another reason to support your local bookseller.
The Boston Jazz Chronicles YouTube channel grows slowly. I've added Charlie Mariano and Herb Pomeroy to the fold, as well as an obscure Ellington number, "B Sharp Boston," which may be Duke's comment on the breakup of the Boston band of Sabby Lewis. Take a look and have a listen.
I've been adding fewer posts to On Troy Street, the Boston jazz history blog on this site. Call it a time out to recharge the batteries. Plenty there for you to read, though: over 270 posts of Boston lore. Take a peek if you haven't visited it yet.
Alison Barnet's new book, South End Character: Speaking Out on Neighborhood Change, isn't about jazz, but it is about the neighborhood that was the first home of jazz in Boston. Alison has lived in the South End since the 1960s and has been writing a column in the South End News for years. South End Character is a collection of her columns about the people and places, both contemporary and historic, from her South End. The book is an eminently reasonable $10 plus tax and shipping, and is available directly from the author. Email her at: email@example.com.
The Boston Jazz Chronicles was awarded one of three 2013 Certificates of Merit for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research in Jazz by the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC). It is an honor to be recognized for my research into the long-absent Boston labels Motif, Crystal-Tone, Mood, Transition, and Storyville. My thanks to the ARSC for continuing to recognize those of us who are documenting activity that took place outside of New York and L.A.
