Burning eBooks
Ray Bradbury's classic dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 has recently been released as an ebook by Simon & Schuster (available online Fahrenheit 451 ebook). The novel is about a future in which most books have been burned in order to keep the public "happy". A world without books and the resulting lack of readily available knowledge and history is bleak indeed.
Ray Bradbury himself was against ebooks at first, saying that they were too distracting. From this article at The Guardian:
"In the past Bradbury has said that ebooks 'smell like burned fuel', telling the New York Times in 2009 that 'the internet is a big distraction'. In an interview … he told the paper that he had been contacted by Yahoo eight weeks earlier. 'They wanted to put a book of mine on Yahoo! You know what I told them? To hell with you. To hell with you and to hell with the internet. It's distracting. It's meaningless; it's not real. It's in the air somewhere.'
But the author has now been convinced otherwise, with his American publisher Simon & Schuster announcing that it was releasing the first ever ebook of Fahrenheit 451, a novel which has sold more than 10m copies since it was first published in 1953 and in which Bradbury predicts a dystopian future where books are burned and reading banned."
I'm glad that we don't live in a future like that described in Fahrenheit 451 and I think that digital books and the internet in general will make it very hard, if not impossible, for the government to ever truly ban books or other reading material. When I read this book back in middle school, I visualized police overseeing large piles of burning books in the middle of town squares, while people looked on with blank expressions. I wonder what would happen if anyone ever tried to burn a pile of e-readers. The resulting melted pile of plastic would surely be enough of a mess that the government would have to find some other way to destroy books. Maybe that's why Bradbury imagined that ebooks smelled like burned fuel?
Thinking about getting into eBooks? Start here.
If you're completely new to the world of ebooks, this post is for you. There are so many options available now that it can be confusing for newbies. Kindle, Nook, iPad! Which is the best for you? If you're not at least basically aware of the consequences of your choices, you can end up with a bad experience. But not to worry! This post will give you enough background on ebooks to get started. I've broken it into two sections, for those who already own a device that they want to read ebooks on, and for those who want to get a new device for ebook reading.
This is the process I recommend for you if you want to read ebooks on a device that you already own. This might be your smartphone, iPad or other tablet, or an eReader that you acquired in the past.
1. Do Not Buy or Download Any eBooks Yet
eBooks come in different formats, and not every format can be read on every device. Before you spend any money buying eBooks, follow the next few steps. This will save you money, time, and confusion.
2. Learn Which Types of eBooks You Can Use
If you have an eReader (like a BeBook, Cybook, Sony Reader) that's not tied to a specific bookseller, the best thing to do is to go to the website that sells that device and look in the specifications to find out which ebook formats it supports. Also look for support for "DRM" (digital rights management) because without it, the types of ebooks you can use will be further restricted. Most eReaders can read PDF and ePub files and some can read additional file types like Mobi, txt, and others.
If you have an eReader (like a Kindle, Nook, or Kobo) that is associated with a specific bookseller you won't have to worry about file types if you only purchase ebooks from that specific store. However, the Nook and Kobo eReaders can also read PDF or ePub files from other sources.
If you want to read ebooks on your iPhone or iPad, you can use iBooks, which is built into Apple's system. By doing so you can easily get ebooks in the same manner that you download apps. You can also read PDF or ePub if you get an app that can handle those file types. In addition to that, big booksellers like Amazon and B&N have iOS apps that will let you read their ebooks without having to own a Kindle or Nook device.
If you have an Android phone or tablet, you can read Kindle and Nook ebooks with their respective Android apps. You can also read PDF or ePub if you get an app that can handle those file types.
3. Install Software/Apps If Necessary
E-Ink eReaders like the basic Kindle and Nook eReaders don't need apps. But if you want to read on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device, you'll need an app for reading ebooks. The best one to use depends on where you'll buy your ebooks. I have explained this in more detail in previous posts: Best eBook Apps for iPad and iPhone, Best eBook Apps for Android
4. Find Out Where Your Type of eBooks Are Sold
Here are the basics:
If you have a Kindle then you must buy ebooks from Amazon.
If you have a Nook you can buy eBooks from Barnes & Noble or any ebook store that sells PDF or ePub ebooks.
If you have a Kobo you can buy eBooks from Kobo or any ebook store that sells PDF or ePub ebooks.
If you have an iPad or iPhone you can buy eBooks from iBooks, use the iOS app from Amazon/B&N/Kobo, or any ebook store that sells PDF or ePub ebooks (check DRM requirements – you might need a specific app).
If you have an Android phone or tablet you can use the Android app from Amazon/B&N/Kobo, or buy from any ebook store that sells PDF or ePub ebooks (check DRM requirements – you might need a specific app).
If you have another eReader (like a BeBook, Sony Reader, etc) you can buy eBooks from any ebook store that sells PDF or ePub ebooks (check DRM requirements – you might need a specific app).
If you have an off-brand cheaper eReader, you can probably use PDF and ePub ebooks, but you might not be able to use DRM-protected files. It's vital that you check the specifications for your particular eReader.
5. Get eBooks!
Once you've done all of the research and learning above, go forth and buy ebooks from your chosen book store.
This is the process that I recommend if you don't yet own a device for ebook reading, or if you're not yet sure which device you want to use.
1. Do Not Buy an eReader or Tablet First
Don't buy anything until you have a basic grasp on the options available.
2. Consider eBook Stores
My recommendation is to first figure out where you want to buy ebooks. This will narrow down your device choices. For example, if you really want to buy most of your ebooks from Amazon, you should get a Kindle. (You can also read Kindle ebooks on an iPad, iPhone, or Android device with the Kindle app). Likewise, if you really want to buy your ebooks from Barnes & Noble, you should get a Nook. (You can also use an iPad, iPhone, or Android device with the Nook app). The same goes for Kobo. If you like buying things from Apple and would like to buy your ebooks through iBooks, you should get an iPad. If you're the type of person who wants to buy from smaller ebook websites, you can pick and choose from a few different sites like ebooks.com, ebookmall.com, or diesel-ebooks.com, as well as others. They will be able to support a lot of devices with the main exception being the Kindle. However, the process isn't as streamlined as when you buy a specific type of ebook for a specific type of device, like a Kindle ebook for a Kindle eReader.
3. Based on Your Store Choice, Consider eBook Readers
Let's say you decided that you'd really like to buy all of your ebooks from Amazon. That makes it pretty easy because you can get any Kindle model that you want. (Note that Kindle is not synonymous with eReader. A Kindle is the type of eReader sold at Amazon.com.) The same goes for Barnes & Noble — just get one of the Nook models. If you would like more variety, you could consider getting and iPad or Android tablet. That's a great choice because you can use ebooks from a variety of sources, and you'll also have a fully functional tablet computer that you can use for web browsing, movies, or whatever else.
4. Buy Your Chosen eReader
Once you know where you want to buy your ebooks and what kind of device you want to use for reading, go get your eReader!
5. Install Software/Apps If Necessary
Depending on what kind of device you've chosen, you might need to install an app or other software. E-Ink eReaders like the basic Kindle and Nook eReaders don't need apps. But if you want to read on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device, you'll need an app for reading ebooks. The best one to use depends on where you'll buy your ebooks. I have explained this in more detail in previous posts: Best eBook Apps for iPad and iPhone, Best eBook Apps for Android
6. Get eBooks!
Go forth and buy ebooks.
I hope this guide is helpful for ebook newbies. If you have any more tips for someone who is completely new to ebooks, leave them in the comments.
Best eBook Apps for Android

When you've had to live your life through your own sheer will and determination, you can be drawn to other people who have the same traits and life experiences. Han Tae Sang (Song Seung Heon) is a successful but cold-blooded businessman who is unstoppable once he sets his mind on doing or getting something. That's because he's a former gangster who has been able to build a successful business through his own blood, sweat and tears, and everything he's gotten in his life has been hard-earned. Then one day, he meets Seo Mi Do (Shin Se Kyung), a troubled young woman who is full of drive and ambition and is determined to better her life to forget the hardships of how she grew up. In Mi Do, Tae Sang sees so much of his own personality that he is drawn to her fire and passion. As he begins to fall in love with her, he realizes that he will do anything to protect her and try to give her a better life. "When a Man Loves" is a 2013 South Korean drama series directed by Kim Sang Ho.

I love Gel eyeliners but I have a million black ones already. Hence, I have been looking for interesting shades of gel liner to buy.
Lunasol gel liners in Olive Green and Red Brown caught my eye.
Lunasol is such a good quality brand that I had no doubt that it would be amazing quality. It arrived in a sturdy glass jar and comes with a pretty decent brush:
The colour range:
All of the colours in the Lunasol collection strike me as highly wearable with just a twist of colour.
This is the brush which is synthetic:
The colours are not particularly vivid – the brown red which I thought would be more burgundy is a very deep brown with just the slightest hint of warmth. The Olive Green is a very dark green. Neither colours are shimmery:
The texture of these gel liners are just right; not so creamy that they take forever to set, not so hard that they are scratchy and difficult to apply. You do need to keep your eyes closed for a bit as it sets, otherwise it'll transfer onto your lid.
The Red Brown:
Olive Green:
Both of these gel liners are high quality and lovely to use. Admittedly, they aren't very vivid, they are more blackened versions of their colours so bear this in mind. Having said that, this makes them far more wearable than anything too whacky.
I paid about £15 each for these. Buy them from adambeauty.com.

Workshop fulfills childrens desire to build
Tuesday, July 30, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
In his career, Joe Levens has overseen massive, multi-million-dollar construction projects, but on Tuesday, July 23, he was focused on a birdhouse and a 9-year-old girl.
Levens, an assistant professor in PSU's School of Construction, steadied the birdhouse as Sarah Wood, soon to be a fourth grader at Frank Layden Elementary School in Frontenac, gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger on a pneumatic nail gun.
Sarah's aim was true and she was ready to head to the next station to drill a home for a lucky finch.
Sarah was one of about 20 students in "Construct Your Future I," Pittsburg State University's week-long workshop for kids.
Students in the construction workshops, Construct Your Future I and Construct Your Future II, learn the basics of construction and then put those skills to work creating things like homes for birds and dogs.
"We start with safety," said Jim Otter, director of the PSU School of Construction. "Students learn about the construction they see going on around them every day. Yesterday they mixed concrete and cast pillars. Today they're building birdhouses. On Friday, they'll be introduced to some bigger equipment and we'll smash the pillars to see how much stress they can take."
Otter said the hands-on workshop appeals to children, who have a natural desire to create and build and sometimes even smash things.

Nice find! My friend with an iPhone was just showing me Words with Friends. Too bad there is no cross compatibility...
I still prefer WordWise Pro over WordFeud, even though I will admit that WordFeud looks better.
WordWise has an iPhone version coming out soon though and will be the first cross-compatible scrabble game from iPhone and Android.
paintyellow if anybody wants a game!
Use this to WIN! lol. I just got 45 and 60 points using this site.
***Might be considered cheating in some parts of the world, but not in Texas. ***
How do you turn it off. I like the game, just don't know how to turn it off.
I've been addicted to Wordfued for a week now. Check out the thread on the games board.
Yeah im loving this far, I couldnt stand how ugly wordwise is.
No, it is cheating in Texas too. How desperate do you have to be for self satisfaction to cheat in a cell-phone scrabble game?
I loved words with friends! add me : bethyb911

Adding Videos to the Sidebar in Your Adobe Presenter Courses
It's always a good idea to add audio to your courses in the form of voice over. It saves the learners from reading a lot of onscreen text, and helps you in effectively using the screen real estate to graphically represent the concepts.
If you want to go a step further, videos are an ideal solution here. You can hear as well as see the trainer/coach. But again, some part of the screen area has to be assigned for the coach video. It's easier to do so for some of the screens, but if the screens are overcrowded with graphical assets, it becomes difficult to accommodate the coach video in the course.
In such cases, sidebar is a great place to add coach videos. The learners Continue reading…

Cast list: Curious casting; LIDA Project season
By Allison Moore
Nov. 5-Dec. 10, 2011
Hannah – Jada Roberts
David – Laurence Curry
Susan – Jessica Austgen
Ted – Michael Morgan
Director: Dee Covington
Description (provided by Curious):
Trouble abounds in this comic depiction of what we do when our lives fall apart around us – and things are collapsing all over the place in this world premiere comedy. As Hannah tries to hold her perfect life together amidst being laid off and fearing infertility, her husband, David, calls in sick to work for days on end and waters the plants with beer. When Hannah's flakey sister blows in from Los Angeles unannounced with all her worldly possessions and a strange package to be delivered, the family sets off on an odyssey full of surprises and moving turns. Inspired by the 2007 bridge collapse in Minneapolis, this comedy bares all in a moving story about picking up the pieces and moving on.
At the Acoma Center, 1080 Acoma St.

The LIDA Project's first season at its new home
The Laundry on Lawrence
2701 Lawrence St.
720-221-3821 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Sept. 9-Oct. 8, 2011: "Justin Bieber Meets Al Qaeda"

May 4-June 2, 2012: "Auto-da-Fé"
July 2012: "The Dream of the Circumcised Brain"
Each play, in further detail:
(Descriptions provided by theater):
Sept. 9-Oct. 8, 2011: "Justin Bieber Meets Al Qaeda"
A collaborative devised work directed by Brian Freeland
This original LIDA collaborative work inspired by Max Fritch's The Firebugs and Albert Camus's The Just, focuses on American pop culture and attitudes a decade after the Al Qaeda attacks on the United States. This theatrical editorial promises to be one of the most irreverent, bombastic, and controversial examinations of American politics and culture to hit Denver audiences in years.
Dec. 2–17, 2011: "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep"
A collaborative devised work with directors Brian Freeland, Josh Hartwell, Tonya Malik-Carson, Brenda Cook Ritenour, Thomas Sheridan and Kenny Storms.
A six-part meditation on health, care, mortality and dying in the United States. This epic will be created in a unique collaboration between the LIDA Project and a group of guest directors providing a broad and diverse theatrical voice. The work is environmentally designed and will be performed in private residences with limited seating for an intimate audience. The piece will be performed over separate evenings.
May 4-June 2, 2012: "Auto-da-Fé"
An original adaptation of the book by Elis Canetti by The LIDA Project & Rebecca Gorman. Directed by Brian Freeland.
A twisted creation developed by The LIDA Project ensemble, playwright Rebecca Gorman, and director Brian Freeland. Manipulations of darkness and light and juxtapositions of ghastly imagery help to re-imagine Canetti's breakthrough 1935 work about a lone recluse and his infinite library of books. Described as, "A warning against the idea that 'rigid, dissociated intellectualism and detached, dogmatic scholarship can prevail over evil, chaos, and destruction.' "
July 2012: "The Dream of the Circumcised Brain"
A collaborative devised work by The LIDA Project
The LIDA Project launches the first iPhone/Android interactive smart phone app/play. This app/play will be in the vein of the traditional radio drama as played and executed through smart phone technology. The drama will utilize GPS technology, audio playback, and recording capabilities to allow the audience to have a self or group guided experience within the streets of Denver.
Founded in 1995, The LIDA Project is a meta-media art collective with a strong emphasis on live performance. The mission of the company is to present works that experiment and challenge the structure and presentation of performance while strengthening culture, community, and artistic growth. Working as a collaborative group of artists The LIDA Project promotes and presents works of the highest integrity and expressiveness without yielding to conventional presentation and stereotypes.

"Committed to the reunification and living enhancement of the Lost Boys of Sudan who have made Nashville their home"
The Lost Boys Foundation of Nashville was created in the fall of 2004 by photographer Jack Spencer and a small group of volunteers, after witnessing first hand the tragic circumstances many of the young men still face in the Nashville community.
Our goal for The Lost Boys Foundation are ambitious – they have to be. These young men have endured more in their short lives than most of us can ever imagine. They have the desire and the heart to persevere and prosper. They are ready to reclaim their lives and move forward.

NOW THEN, LET'S GET TO WORK!Gombol wrote:Honestly. WoW End-Game has been going downhill for AGES now. Vanilla = Best, sure, was hard to get a full raid, but it was more fun.
Did you even play in Vanilla? That wasn't fun, that was a horrible horrible nightmare. Raids were HUGE so there was nothing even remotely fun about them. I recall running MC for the first six times and I don't remember four people from any of them, because there was no personality to it. It was just push your forward key and auto-attack afk. There is nothing fun about throwing yourself repeatedly at a monster until it dies, and there never will be anything fun about that.Gombol wrote:TBC = Smaller raids, easier, but still a slight challange
BC stepped it up by actually making you have to pay attention and -do shit- so that you felt a little more important, and by shrinking down raid size to 25 it was made a bit more personal. I still remember the names of all 22 regular raid members I raided with during BC.Gombol wrote: WOTLK = Blizzard held your hand while nerfing everything and giving away free epics.
WotLK was shit, no arguments there.Gombol wrote:Cata = Harder then WOTLK, but still rather easy when compared to Vanilla / TBC.
Cata raiding is probably some of the most fun raiding I've ever had. The heroics are fun, the raids are fun. Fun fun fun, I think you're just a cynical jerk who can't enjoy change, as evidenced by your strong love of a giant steaming pile of horse shit.Gombol wrote:And it's only fun if you can find a GOOD guild with people who Know. How. To. Play. Witch is a Raid on itself. Applied to one before, insulted my job. Insulted that I lived at home (When it's about £500 cheaper then living alone. In a flat.) and down right insulted everything about me. That's a bad guild, bad attitude = bad raiders. True story.
All I read was "QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ someone is smarter then me. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ"
And I couldn't give a damn what they said, it's an example. Learn what Examples are, please.
I'm sorry but all I see when I read this is "boo hoo some people on the internet insulted me and ruined a game for me forever, I will never get over this boo hoo".

The revolving door at wide receiver for the New England Patriots continues to turn.
The Patriots placed Donte' Stallworth on injured reserve Tuesday after he suffered a high ankle sprain on his 63-yard touchdown reception against the Houston Texans on Monday night. The Patriots signed Deion Branch on Tuesday to replace Stallworth.
It wraps up a wild couple of weeks for Stallworth. He attended the Patriots' game against the Miami Dolphins two weeks ago -- as a fan. After wide receiver Julian Edelman's season-ending foot injury, the Patriots signed Stallworth and immediately gave him snaps against the Texans.
The intense race for the playoffs is in full gear. Check out the latest situation in the postseason chase. More ...
Stallworth responded well and could have been a great story for the team down the stretch, but Breer reports Stallworth will be out for the rest of the season. With Rob Gronkowski also hurt, the Patriots are short on weapons.
Branch has been off and on the roster all season. If he goes down, the team might have to get Troy Brown out of retirement.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

A team of the world's leading marine experts, paired with scientists from the Indian Ocean region, have just returned from a six-week research expedition above seamounts in the high seas of the Indian Ocean with a whole new understanding of seamount ecosystems. They gathered a very rich collection of data and specimens, including some strange-looking marine creatures.
The scientific survey was organized by IUCN and its partners to improve knowledge of seamounts across the southwest Indian Ocean ridge. Seamounts, underwater mountains of volcanic and tectonic origin, are known to be hotpots of biodiversity and attract a range of oceanic predators, including seabirds, whales and sharks. They also attract deepwater fisheries, as they host many species of commercial interest, most of which are very vulnerable to over-exploitation. The results of the research do not only have a scientific interest, but will help improve conservation and management of Indian Ocean marine resources.
"I am extremely pleased with the data that we have collected and the number of species that we have encountered", says Dr Alex David Rogers, Chief Scientist of the Cruise and Senior Research Fellow at the Zoological Society of London. "The diversity of species that we sampled is higher than what I would have expected. Some species have been recorded for the first time in the region, and we hope to have found some species new to science. It was also very interesting to discover that the six seamounts we surveyed are very different from each other, and I believe our findings will certainly improve our global knowledge of seamount ecosystems".
The Norwegian research vessel Dr Fridtjof Nansen left on 12 November from Reunion island, and travelled 6,000 miles in 40 days to study five seamounts on the southwest Indian Ocean Ridge, and one seamount further north on Walters Shoal, south of Madagascar, before docking in Port Elisabeth, South Africa, today. All features were located in waters beyond national jurisdictions, at two to three days' sailing from the nearest land. Two of them had been set aside on a voluntary basis as protected areas by the Southern Indian Ocean Deepsea Fishers Association, which would allow comparison between fished and unfished seamounts.
"It is gratifying to know that this work is not an isolated scientific trip, but will directly feed into conservation and management recommendations", says Sarah Gotheil, Programme Officer with IUCN's Global Marine Programme. "Through our study we hope to confirm the conservation benefits of protecting seamount features on the ridge. This will inform future management of deep-sea ecosystems in the high seas globally".
In total, nearly 7,000 specimens have been collected and labeled, from two-metre long fish to tiny crustacean larvae. They include an impressive variety of fish, shrimps, squids and gelatinous marine creatures. Many more microscopic species of phytoplankton and zooplankton, representing the base of the food chain in the ocean, have also been collected. The two seabird and marine mammal observers recorded thousands of seabirds from as many as 36 species, and 26 marine mammals. Two of them, majestic humpback whales, even offered the team a wonderful 30-minute show of jumping around at just a few metres from the ship.
Note for editors:
The expedition is supported by expertise and funding supplied by partner organisations including the United Nations Development Programme, the Global Environment Facility, Zoological Society of London, the EAF-Nansen project, the Institute of Marine Research, Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystems Project; the Marine Ecology Laboratory, University of Reunion and the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme.

Beer Advent Day 14 was another of the Spoetzl Brewing Company Shiner Beers, this time Shiner Black. This is the darkest beer Shiner brews and is the least favorite of their line for me.
I somehow forgot to take a picture of this in the glass but it lives up to the name of Black. About the only time I drink this is in the family pack or as a leftover from some party. It is good for a black beer but the flavor of burned wood just doesn't really do it for me. I am not sure what gives black beers that flavor but I get the same thing from Guinness as well.
If Black Lager is your thing, I would guess this is one of the better ones. It started as the Shiner 97 and was brought back as a full part of their line so it definitely has a following.

BERLIN — The family of a woman found murdered along a rural road in northern Worcester County last August has filed a wrongful death civil suit against the church where she worked and its pastor.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
Last August, a Worcester County grand jury indicted Matthew N. Burton, 29, of Dagsboro, on eight counts including first-degree murder and first-degree rape in the death of Nicole Bennett, 35, of Millsboro, whose body was found on a roadside embankment in Whaleyville in Worcester County on the morning of June 15 last year.
On April 17, the victim's husband, Kevin Bennett, and his family filed a wrongful death suit in Delaware Superior Court against the Bay Shore Community Church in Millsboro and Pastor Danny Tice, alleging the defendants were aware of Burton's rape convictions and violent past and allowed him to work alone at the church with Nicole Bennett on the night she was murdered.
According to the suit, Tice learned that Burton was a registered sex offender and was on probation for multiple sex crimes. Burton was a registered Tier I sex offender, having been charged with 22 felony counts of rape against a child. Burton had reached a plea deal in those cases that required him to register as a sex offender in Delaware prior to his employment as a custodian at the Bay Shore Church in Millsboro.
After Tice and the Bay Shore Church learned of Burton's sexual predator past, they gave Burton two weeks to find another job. On the last day of his employment with the church, Nicole Bennett disappeared and her body was found the next day in northern Worcester County.
In the wrongful death suit, the victim's husband asserts Tice should be held partly responsible because he failed to warn his wife and presumably others in the church that a violent sexual predator was in their midst.
"The death of Nicole Bennett was a direct and proximate cause of the negligent actions of Tice, who was acting in the scope of his employment when he failed to adequately warn Nicole Bennett of the risk presented by fellow employee Burton, and this failure led to Nicole Bennett's death," the suit reads.
On or about June 14, 2012, Nicole Bennett was working late in order to complete a mailing for Bay Shore Child Care, which she was the director, and she told her family she would be late. Burton was also working as a custodian at the church that night. Shortly before 9 a.m. the next day, June 15, Worcester Central received a 911 call reporting the discovery of the body of a deceased woman in an embankment off Swamp Rd., a dirt road east of Nelson Rd. near Whaleyville.
DNA evidence gathered by crime scene technicians from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division ultimately connected Burton to the crime. An autopsy conducted by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore determined Bennett was murdered and had been asphyxiated. Autopsy evidence also indicated Bennett was already dead when her body was left in the embankment off the dirt road in Whaleyville.
Only after the grand jury indictment in Worcester County last August did it come to light she had also been allegedly sexually assaulted and raped by the suspect. According to the suit filed by Bennett family attorney Bart Dalton on April 17, Tice and church officials should be held partly responsible for Nicole Bennett's death because they were aware of Burton's violent past and allowed him to continue to work at the church for another two weeks including the night of June 14 when he was left alone with Bennett.
"It had become known to the defendants approximately two weeks earlier that Burton had been previously charged with multiple rape counts and had pled guilty, was on probation and registered as a sex offender," the complaint reads. "Nicole Bennett and Burton were left alone at Bay Shore that evening. Although the defendants knew of Burton's dangerous proclivities and had, in fact, terminated Burton's employment because of this information, Bay Shore did not in any way notify any of their employees about Burton."
The complaint paints a grim picture of Bennett being left alone at night at the church with the defendant, a convicted and registered sexual predator.
"They actually gave Burton two additional weeks of employment," the complaint reads. "On the last day of those two additional weeks, Burton was left alone at night with Nicole Bennett. Nicole Bennett was unaware, because of the actions and inactions of the defendants, that she was alone with a sex offender. Nicole Bennett was murdered that night."
According to the complaint, Bennett and other employees at the church were never made aware of the dangerous predator in their midst.
"At all relevant times, the defendants had actual knowledge of Burton's violent history and nevertheless failed to warn Nicole Bennett about his dangerous propensities while simultaneously allowing Nicole Bennett to be left alone with Burton while both were engaged in their duties at Bay Shore," the complaint reads. "All defendants are jointly and severally liable for the death of Nicole Bennett."
After the investigation and DNA evidence connected Burton to Bennett's murder, detectives consulted with the Worcester County State's Attorney's Office and a warrant for his arrest was obtained. Around 7:15 p.m. on July 7, 2012, the U.S. Marshal's Task Force, a warrant apprehension team, located Burton driving on Route 1 near Rehoboth Beach. Burton was apprehended on a subsequent traffic stop and was taken into custody. He was eventually extradicted to Worcester from Sussex County.
In February, the Worcester County State's Attorney's Office filed a notice of intent to seek a sentence of death for Burton in the case. However, about two weeks later the Maryland General Assembly passed legislation abolishing the death penalty in the state and the notice was withdrawn. Instead, prosecutors will likely seek a sentence of life without the possibility of parole.
Motions hearings in the case were set in for this week. Among the motions on the table was whether or not to allow the testimony of a jailhouse witness with whom Burton presumably discussed the case. The jury trial has been set in for five days starting June 6.

Several high-profile, bipartisan health care reform plans have demonstrated in recent months that there is a developing consensus among fiscal and health care policy experts on the steps needed to move the country towards a less expensive, more effective and more patient-centered system.
The plans are the Bipartisan Policy Center's Health Care Cost Initiative, the health care portion of the latest Simpson-Bowles recommendations, a plan from the Engleberg Center for Health Care Reform at Brookings, and a plan from the National Coalition on Health Care.
In the first of three blog posts on the subject, Concord Coalition Policy Director Joshua Gordon points out that all of these groups "took pains to both find scorable savings within the 10-year budget window while also choosing to proffer reforms that would spur a longer-term transformation in the health care system -- making it better while having savings grow beyond the budget window."
In addition, Gordon writes, these plans "all anticipate that by using the federal government's market power through Medicare and the tax code, changes would filter through to the private sector, transforming the health care system as a whole."
It is encouraging that key parts of these proposals have some similarities to proposals in President Obama's latest budget and, to some degree, the House Republican and Senate Democratic budgets. Gordon's blog post includes a chart summarizing these similarities.
Looking first at the health care system's supply side, he says that a key policy shift would be to move "away from fee-for-service medicine – which encourages maximal resource use – towards a value-based system, which rewards effectiveness and efficiency." This would be done through a series of Medicare provider payment reforms and reductions that would build, in part, on experiments and pilot projects under the Affordable Care Act.
The hope for significant savings from such measures is based on the fact that people with multiple chronic diseases account for so much of the country's health care spending. Targeting reforms on that spending, Gordon writes, "seems to hold the greatest promise for moving the needle on health care spending over the long term."
His next two blog posts will look at proposed changes on the demand side of the health care system, including patient sensitivity to costs, and at the effect that reforms could have on government savings and the federal deficit.

A rumored update to iTunes may signal that across the board support for Blu-ray is coming to Apple's product line, assuming it proves accurate. In addition to iPhone application organization and social media integration features, iTunes 9 is said to be gaining support for Blu-ray high definition video.
According to a "pretty reliable" source for Boy Genius Report, iTunes 9 will gain the capability to visually organize iPhone OS apps—a process that can quickly become unwieldy if you have loaded more than a couple dozen apps on your iPhone or iPod touch. Also, the new version of iTunes may have built-in capability to send information about the current playing track to popular social media platforms, such as Last.fm, Facebook, and Twitter. But most surprising of all is the revelation that iTunes 9 will have "Blu-ray support."
Exactly what support that would entail isn't specified, though it does seem to align with a recent rumor that suggested that an upcoming iMac redesign would include a long-requested feature, which many speculate means Blu-ray drives. Engadget speculated that the so-called support may just be related to Blu-ray's "Managed Copy" feature, but that still doesn't seem like a handy feature to have without drives to make the copy. Even with third-party drives, Mac OS X still doesn't have the ability to decode and playback Blu-ray video discs.
Last fall, Apple CEO Steve Jobs called Blu-ray's licensing a "bag of hurt," citing licensing and cost as the main reasons Macs weren't equipped with Blu-ray drives. However, even the main HD-DVD supporter, Toshiba, recently announced that it would begin making Blu-ray players and including Blu-ray drives in its notebook computers. Though Apple has bet on a future without optical discs—consider the Apple TV or MacBook Air, for instance—Apple may be conceding that its customers aren't completely ready to abandon them just yet.

There are multiple factors that affect a child's behavior and it is not always obvious what may be contributing factors. Some studies have shown that poor sleep habits are common in children with behavior issues but it was unclear if behavior problems were causing sleep difficulties or sleep difficulties were causing behavior problems.
Researchers from London wanted to examine the impact of irregular bedtime on behavior in young children. The study, published in Pediatrics, found that irregular bedtime was associated with increased behavioral problems in 7 year old children.
About the Study
The Millennium Cohort Study is a large research project that is following 19,000 children born in the United Kingdom, collecting information on health, behavior and family/social environment. This study specifically examined bedtime habits of 10,230 children at 3, 5, and 7 years old and reports of behavior problems from parents and teachers at age 7. Bed time habits included time children were put to bed and how regular the times were kept throughout the week. The study found that:
- Children without regular bedtimes were more likely to have behavioral problems than those with regular bedtimes
- Behavioral problems increased as the length of time with irregular bedtimes increased
- Behavior improved in children who moved from irregular to regular bedtime
Children with irregular bedtime or bedtimes at 9 pm or later were more likely to have social disadvantages such as lower income households, lower parental education, and poorer maternal mental health.
How Does This Affect You?
Cohort studies are a type of observational study, which means reviewers are only watching a select group for changes and looking for trends. The researchers are not interfering with any elements of the study and can not control numerous other factors that may affect the outcome. As a result, this type of study can not determine cause and effect but can only suggest a connection between two factors. This trial did try to address some limitations by not only looking at the connection between sleep and behavior but also what happened to behavior when sleep factors changed. It is important to note that children with irregular sleep routines were also more likely to be in environments that also have an increased risk of behavioral issues which likely means sleep is only one of many factors influencing behavior.
This study did not focus on the amount of sleep children had but instead on the time they went to bed each night. Sleep itself is important for brain function and development throughout our life but it seems that a consistent schedule may also play an important role. Regular sleep schedules allow the body develop an internal routine that will help the child fall asleep easier and stay awake during the day, also called a circadian rhythm. It may be difficult to start a sleep routine but it may be worth the effort in the long run. Try to establish a regular bedtime routine that allows your child to relax just before bedtime, provides a calm consistent environment to sleep in, and encourages your child to fall asleep on their own. If your child has behavioral issues talk about a sleep routine with your doctor, some sleep changes may become a helpful part of your child's care plan.

Leaders from area Episcopal churches are looking at strategies to reach out to the unchurched or those missing a spiritual life.
A mission conference last month in Bradenton that brought together clergy and churchgoers from Tampa to Naples was moderated by the Rev. Eric Cooter, the diocesan missioner since Jan. 1 under Bishop Dabney Smith.
"The purpose of the event was to stir enthusiasm and also to create an educational opportunity to bring in some people that are not theorists, but doing it 'boots on the ground' in other parts of the church," he said.
Speakers included the Revs. Karen Ward and Bob Leopold, both of whom knew Cooter when he led a young adult ministry at Lamb of God, a federated Lutheran Episcopal church in Fort Myers. Cooter also served as rector at St. David's in Englewood.
Ward is serving a community in Portland, Ore., and Leopold is involved in a similar effort in Chattanooga, Tenn. Efforts include connecting through pub gatherings, coffeehouse theology discussions and homeless ministries.
"It begins with listening and being engaged and allowing community to emerge out of the culture," he said. "There's not a packaged process that will work here that worked in Portland."
Finding what works locally is Cooter's next challenge as he works to build similar communities throughout the diocese, from Brooksville to Marco Island. A recent study showed a high percentage of 18- to 54-year-olds in the diocese cited the importance of spirituality, but do not attend church.
At St. Mark's in Venice, youth director Jacqueline Overton is beginning a pub theology group this month. The group likely will start with 10 to 15 members discussing faith and their own journeys with or without it.
"Be inclusive, and meet people where they are in their walk," she said. "We're just trying to reach people who may never have interest in setting foot in the doors of a traditional church."
Another effort planned this spring at St. Mark's is "messy church," an outreach effort targeting families that includes crafts and games for children, a Biblical reading, meals and adult conversation.
"The purpose is to build community together, not to take anyone out of existing churches," she said. "The purpose is not to overcommit people."
Overton, 28, said most of her peers do not attend church. Finding ways to successfully reach out to them is key, she said.
"The goal is to go live out our mission as Christ followers, to got out into the community and share the good news," Overton said. "They may not come and join St. Mark's, but they will learn about the love of Jesus."
At St. George's in Bradenton, the Rev. Bryan O'Carroll said what came out of the conference dealt with broader concepts of growth that extend beyond the Episcopal faith. The effort is not connected to filling Sunday pews, but sharing the gospel outside of church walls.
"It's not about growing denominations, it's about growing the church overall," he said. "Engaging people and sharing the message of the gospel and helping them discern and discover. What Eric and they were talking about was how do we go to those people, how do we find and engage them for the sole purpose of them coming to know Jesus Christ?"
While O'Carroll stressed that St. George's would not try a pub ministry, he said some existing programs fill that role. His church hosts 38 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and its pantry provides food to about 300 people. While visitors are at the church, members are available to serve them.
The aim is to find out "how we can just not feed their body, but draw them into a place of meaning and belonging," he said.
Other area Episcopal leaders came away from the conference with different ideas.
The Rev. Gary Wilde, recently appointed rector at Good Shepherd in Venice, said his traditional parish is not on the cutting edge, but supports such efforts.
"We have not experimented with the emergent," he said. "I'm all for it when congregations say, 'Yeah, this is how we're going to attract people.'"
At the conference host church, Christ Episcopal in Bradenton, the Rev. Joel Morsch noted that the church offers three distinct services to meet parishioners' needs. Guitars and drums projected on a large screen at the 9:30 a.m. service is the most contemporary. He also is looking into the need for Spanish language services, an aspect Morsch said is handled well at Church of the Redeemer in Sarasota.
"What I believe is that there's a need for true diversity in worship," he said. "You can't reach everybody with one approach."

The grandmother of 3-year-old Miranda Palacios, who was struck and killed in a hit-and-run crash, said she feels some relief knowing that the suspect is now behind bars.
"We would like to tell the man who did this that we know it was an accident, but it was a crime the second you left the scene," said Kimberlee Kirby, Miranda's grandmother, at a news conference Thursday.
"It was careless. It was heartless, and you did this without remorse," Kirby added.
Investigators on Wednesday morning arrested Carlos Parra, 20, on suspicion of hit and run, and Rebecca Beltran, 24, on suspicion of aiding in a felony, the California Highway Patrol said.
Beltran posted bond and was released Thursday. Parra remained in custody at Men's Central Jail in Santa Ana.
The man and woman, who are in a relationship and have a 2-year-old child, were arrested after detectives served a search warrant at their Santa Ana apartment.
The fatal traffic collision took place about 6 p.m. Feb. 12 on Gilbert Street near Salk Elementary School, in an unincorporated area on the Anaheim border.
Lady Audree Rebecca Hernandez, 26, was pushing her daughter Miranda in a stroller in the Gilbert Street crosswalk at Guinida Lane when they were struck by a stolen 1995 Nissan Maxima.
While Hernandez survived her injuries, family members have said that it could be up to a year before she is able to walk on her own. Hernandez is the mother of three other children, ages 1, 2 and 10.
At the news conference, CHP officials said the Maxima belonged to Parra's sister and added that Beltran reported the stolen vehicle.
Beltran was not inside the Maxima when the crash occurred, CHP officials said.
Since the fatal crash, the surrounding community has reached out to support the family financially.
The Magnolia High School baseball team held car-wash fundraisers with proceeds going toward the family. A reward was also boosted to $8,000 for information leading to the conviction of the hit-and-run driver.
The CHP would not release additional details of what led them to Parra and Beltran, but said the arrests were not a result of the numerous tips the agency received from the public.
"We continue to pray until we find justice in this senseless crime," Kirby said.
"We will forever hurt. We will forever be a broken family," she added.
