Police are seeking charges against a Hingham mother who they say was responsible for an underage house party for her daughter, a student at Thayer Academy, that included alcohol on Saturday, March 31. More than 30 teenagers were present, including some from Braintree.
On Monday, a criminal complaint was applied for at for the parent, Theresa Kenny, age 53, 8 Brewer Way, Hingham, for allowing alcohol to be delivered to minors, and being the keeper of a noisy and disorderly house.
arrived at Kenny's West Hingham home just after 11 p.m. on Saturday and detained 30 teens from 17 different towns for underage drinking.
The officers arrived on Brewer Way after a report of a loud house party where teens were throwing empty beer cans out as they left. Hingham Police said the arriving officers found the road packed with 10-15 cars parked on both sides, and said it was difficult to pass. Police also said trash and debris was in the road.
Officers met Kenny at the door and she admitted she was having a party for her daughter, police said.
When Kenny brought the officers to the basement, officers noticed some teens running out the back door. Officers also could see beer cans, cups filled with beer and beer spilled on the tables, police said.
Officers were able to detain a total of 30 teenagers, ages from 15-18, in the basement. Officers learned other teens had driven away from the party before they arrived, police said.
Hingham Police were forced to call the teens' parents after Kenny admitted the 30 teens identified by police were not sleeping at her house and most would have driven home.
The officers remained at the house until 12:40 a.m. and made sure a sober adult drove each vehicle home, as none were towed.
Police said the identified teens were from 17 towns: Braintree, Bridgewater, Dedham, Duxbury, Foxboro, Hanover, Hingham, Hull, Mansfield, Marshfield, Milton, Norwell, Pembroke, Quincy, Randolph, Scituate and Weymouth.
Earlier in March, the were awarded a $5,000 grant to crack down on underage drinking.
Police said the grant would be used for officers to conduct efforts such as underage alcohol stings and compliance checks in businesses, cops in shops, party patrols, and surveillance patrols. Also, public education regarding the social host law will be conducted via the grant.

NORMAN — The drivers killed in Tuesday's six-car pileup have been identified.
David Tompkins, 27, of Moore, was transported by EMSStat to Norman Regional Hospital, where he died. David Jester, 29, of Norman, died at the scene, according to a news release from Norman Police Capt. Tom Easley.
Spc. Tompkins served in the military. Services for Tompkins are pending with Primrose Funeral Home.
The six-car pileup Tuesday morning near Flood Avenue and Tecumseh Road left two dead and two injured and blocked traffic for more than five hours.
Flood was closed to traffic from the intersection, north to the Interstate 35 merge ramp, for more than five hours.
About 7 a.m., a 2000 GMC Yukon, driven by Tompkins, was traveling south on Flood Avenue and reportedly crossed into the northbound lanes colliding with other vehicles, police said Wednesday.
Five additional vehicles were involved in the subsequent crash, police said.
David Lee Gibbs, 48, of Norman, suffered injuries in the collision, as did Robert Thomas Lorrah, 38, also of Norman. Both were taken to the hospital and treated before being released Tuesday afternoon, Easley said.
Two other drivers also were involved but did not report any injuries. Those drivers are Brian Scott McDonald, 21, of Alex, and Nicholas Heath Taylor, 31, of Norman.
Easley said Wednesday that a representative of the Office of the State Medical Examiner transported Jester's body to their facility in Oklahoma City.
The collision remains an open investigation under the direction of Master Police Officer S. Praizner and other members of the department's Collision Investigation and Reconstruction Team.
Easley said Tuesday that no children were involved in the accident. He said Wednesday that no information was available on the use of seat belts or regarding factors that could have contributed to the accident, such as fog, wet pavement or the use of electronic devices.
"I don't have any of that," Easley said. "That's why we investigate these things."
He also said he could not elaborate on the results of a search warrant that was issued after the collision.
"I'm simply not at liberty to discuss it," Easley said.

What about some love for the pairs skaters.... Totmianina has Vassiliev, Plushenko, and Yagudin, while Gordeeva has Grinkov, Zhulin, Browning, and Kulik (not WC but OGM).
Morozov has slept with so many people that I'm convinced I have as well in another life. (I don't remember it though)
Gordeeva and Zhulin? Or Browning? When? How? Why?

That said, this thread isn't my cup of tea, either.
Look, you were concerned about the skaters' ages, I pointed out that they aren't kids. Maia Shibutani just turned 18, so technically even she is no longer covered by the forum rules (no gossip about underage skaters). All the others are adults, not kids, and as I stated earlier, quite a few of them are very forthcoming about their relationships. It's hardly a secret that Tanith Belbin is involved with Charlie White and was once involved with Evan Lysacek. Morozov was married to Navka and Bourne, that's public record. I'm not going to stalk any skaters and they deserve to live their lives like anyone else. But if the skaters choose not to be private and discrete about their relationships, why should fans be expected to preserve this non-existent privacy?
I don't view actors as less deserving of privacy than skaters, BTW. But information that's made public is just that - public.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?

The Daily Item
ELYSBURG – The popular Elysburg Haunted House is a few weeks away, but opponents of the Southern Columbia football team might want to go there to calm down.
Perhaps Tigers opponents don't endure blood-curdling screams, but there can't be anything much scarier than playing these unbeaten Tigers.
Ask Selinsgrove coach Dave Hess, whose Seals saw the Tigers score 33 points in the first quarter in their Friday night Homecoming Game en route to a 54-14 romp in a Heartland Athletic Conference crossover game.
"Southern Columbia is one of the best football teams I've ever seen," Hess said.
"They are a great football team, there's no two ways about it."
Oh, yes, and that vaunted Tigers ground game was just as daunting as ever, gaining 402 yards on just 42 carries. But early on, it was Tigers quarterback Nick Becker wielding the pitchfork, throwing four touchdown passes, two each to sophomore halfback Blake Marks and senior split end Zach Tillett.
Becker, whose 219 passing yards gave the Tigers a whopping 621 yards of offense (to just 197 for the Seals), said, "I have to give the credit to my linemen and receivers. My receivers will catch anything. All I have to do is throw it up and they'll get it."
Added Tigers coach Jim Roth, "The passing game has come along and we just have a lot of weapons right now."
Actually, the game did not start out like a blowout. In fact, Southern (6-0) trailed for the first time all season.
After Southern scored on the game's second play on a 35-yard pass from Becker to Marks (Brad Noll helped set it up with a 45-yard kickoff return to midfield), the Tigers missed the extra point try.
Selinsgrove (3-3) then shocked the Tiger faithful when junior quarterback Isaiah Rapp unloaded a bomb for a 75-yard TD to senior wide receiver Mason Pope on the Seals' first play. Brendan Sheaffer added the PAT for a 7-6 Selinsgrove lead with 11:10 left in the first period.
Hess said the Seals planned to come out and throw to try to loosen up the Tigers' defense. It worked, but, "They basically took over the football game after that."
Indeed, the Tigers shook off that setback and continued to do what they would not let the visitors do: score.
Southern scored the next six times it had the ball, stopped only by the clock at the end of the half.
Besides Becker and his receivers, the Tigers were able to roll because of the job by senior fullback Adam Feudale (178 yards on just eight carries) and his improving offensive line.

After tying with EMC in the last Quality Awards, NetApp prevails this time to nudge out EMC and IBM, which tied for second.
NetApp Inc. continues to shed its "NAS-only" image with another impressive outing in the Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com Quality Awards for enterprise arrays. After a tie with EMC Corp. for the top spot in the last Quality Awards survey for this product category, NetApp is alone in the winner's circle this time around.
NetApp's win was by a slim margin -- just 0.06 points -- and just barely ahead of EMC and IBM Corp., which tied for second with an overall rating of 6.45 compared with NetApp's 6.51. At the top of the enterprise array heap this time, NetApp's ratings have surged, especially considering its last-place finish the first time its product lines were included in this category just a few surveys back.
Just like the fourth edition of the Quality Awards for enterprise arrays, the scores for the seven qualifying vendors (of eight included in the survey) were high across the board, with five of seven finalists garnering overall ratings of 6.00-plus. Rounding out the field after the top three were Hitachi Data Systems (6.28), Hewlett-Packard (HP) Co. (6.20), 3PAR (5.87) and with a 5.78, Sun Microsystems Inc. (now owned by Oracle Corp.). While those are all solid scores, the results are just a bit less impressive than our previous survey, when six of seven vendors finished in the 6.00-plus points realm.
|About the survey
The Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com Quality Awards are designed to identify and recognize products that have proven their quality and reliability in actual use. The results are derived from a survey of qualified readers who assess products in five main categories: sales-force competence, initial product quality, product features, product reliability and technical support. Our methodology incorporates statistically valid polling that eliminates market share as a factor. Indeed, our objective is to identify the most reliable products on the market regardless of vendor name, reputation or size. Products were rated on a scale of 1.00 to 8.00, where 8.00 is the best score. A total of 252 respondents provided 392 system evaluations.
For all vendors/products, the average total score was a very solid 6.22, which was just a bit lower than the 6.39 racked up in the last enterprise arrays survey. But the message is clear: Users are pretty darned satisfied with their enterprise-class storage systems. And that appears to be a distinction the array vendors have earned; the results reported for the first two surveys for this product category (in 2005 and 2006) showed users to be considerably less enthusiastic about these products as they doled out sub-6.00 scores across the board.
|Products in the survey
The following products were included in the Quality Awards V Enterprise Arrays survey (the number of ratings responses are in parentheses).
*Did not receive enough responses to be included in the final results.
This was first published in March 2010

If you work with video then you're probably on the lookout for new innovations and tools to help you manage your media better, software that helps you preserve and access your projects with ease and solutions that automate those repetitive tasks that otherwise fill up your day. I am. A lot of the people I've worked with over the course of my career are too. Which is why, in 2007, when Apple announced a new application called, Final Cut Server my attention was piqued. It piqued the attention of a lot of other folks too. But, in a remarkable turn of events for the company that never pre-announces products, we had to wait close to a year for Apple to release the shipping version.
When that day came it was very exciting. Here was an inexpensive tool that enabled highly-customised labelling of media and comprehensive search tools; low resolution proxy file creation for both browsing and offline editing; automated job creation and reporting; and a check-in/check-out feature for sharing projects and new collaboration opportunities. All of this was tightly integrated with Final Cut Pro and took advantage of both Apple ProRes and H.264. Final Cut Server represented a new dawn, particularly for editors and organisations that relied on Final Cut Pro. I was convinced. I embraced the solution and became a committed evangelist. If you worked with me during this time or met me through the Final Cut Server community, you know this. If you attended one of the classes I taught or presentations I delivered, you know this.
For a little more than three years this strategy worked really well. Then the times changed. There's no easy way to say it, the plug was pulled. Now, I still know operations who are working with Final Cut Server and remain content for now, but as the ecosystem and supporting solutions evolve, the time will come when a new solution will be necessary. Final Cut Server is the past and we must all look to the future. But where to next?
One compelling answer is Cantemo Portal™. It's a media asset management solution that offers so much more than Final Cut Server ever could. A number of my colleagues agree with me and we've been working on ways to migrate and replace services currently provided by Final Cut Server. None more so than moosystems who recently released CP Migration Tool and Meta Media™ Creative Technologies who have developed the popular MetaMAM™ theme and ScriptRunner™, a Final Cut Server script emulator.
The interest in Portal has been rather overwhelming and I was asked to write an article for fcp.co about my experiences. I've also been working with Cantemo on a series of videos to demonstrate specific functionality and workflows. The first focuses on the extensive integration with Final Cut Pro X:
I'm certain I'll have a lot more to say about Portal, especially as we release more videos and I'm able to start speaking about some of the projects I've been involved with.

Budget Accommodation Europe France Ouistreham
Ouistreham is a seaside town on the Normandy coastline of northwestern France. It is the famous location of Sword beach, one of the 5 D-Day landings. On June 6th 1944, 177 No4 commandos from the French battalion landed here and fought their way to Pegasus bridge, neutralised the German watchtower and liberated the town.

Quality Through Assessment (QTA)
Committee update
View the QTA Committee's accomplishments for the 2011/12 academic year
How do we know that we are carrying out our mission to provide students with quality academic programs that respond to economic and employment realities? How do we know if the skills we teach will translate into workplace success? How do we know that students are learning?

Assessment at Penn College is defined as an open process that encompasses the following principles:
- It is mission-focused, at both the institutional and programmatic levels.
- It is systematic, iterative, collaborative, documented, and adaptable.
- It applies multiple measures, both qualitative and quantitative.
- It identifies strengths and areas that warrant improvement.
- It informs planning and decision-making for the purpose of ascertaining learning and development, thereby improving programs, services, functions, performance, and the overall value of the educational experience.

Common FAFSA Errors to Avoid
Avoid common mistakes made by others filling out the FAFSA.
Students often make four critical errors when applying for financial aid.
- Incomplete applications (e.g., no signature).
- Typos (e.g., transposing numbers, decimal point errors).
- Missed deadlines.
- While there is no federal application deadline, per se, most schools require students to submit the FAFSA and other financial aid application documents by a priority filing date. Students who miss school deadlines are frequently offered less financial aid or are offered more loans and less grant funds.
- Missing supplemental applications or documents.
Students should be encouraged to check and double check that they have submitted all required forms.

John Updike
Updike, John (18 March 1932 - 27 January 2009)
Updike, in his novels, short stories, and poetry, depicts "American, Protestant, small-town, middle-class" life. Sometimes referred to as "the sexy WASP," for he does not avoid the erotic, Updike was a major figure at The New Yorker and the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Rabbit, Run (1960) is one of his best-known works. In his criticism, he often downplays fellow authors' non-belief and he makes no secret of his Christian beliefs.
In The Paris Review Interviews, Vol. 2 (2007), critic Richard Eder cites critic Harold Bloom as calling Updike "A minor novelist with a major style. A quite beautiful and very considerable stylist," he adds, as if amending and then, amending again, "he specializes in the easier pleasures." "Not, of course, that Mr. Bloom has anything against pleasure," writes Eder.
Updike's theistic outlook:
- I remember the times when I was wrestling with these issues that I would feel crushed. I was crushed by the purely materialistic, atheistic account of the universe.
The Associated Press, announcing his death, included,
- He captured, and sometimes embodied, a generation's confusion over the civil rights and women's movements, and opposition to the Vietnam War. Updike was called a misogynist, a racist and an apologist for the establishment. On purely literary grounds, he was attacked by Norman Mailer as the kind of author appreciated by readers who knew nothing about writing. Last year, judges of Britain's Bad Sex in Fiction Prize voted Updike lifetime achievement honors.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist died in a Massachusetts hospice of lung cancer. An Episcopalian, he had been a member and once President of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Mineral Wells Index
By CHRIS AGEE
After receiving praise from several members, city council voted Tuesday to approve a specific use permit for recently opened teen club Venue 2:17.
Following a public hearing, council members voted unanimously to provide the permit, allowing the business to operate as an "amusement center, teen club" as defined by the city code of ordinances.
Venue 2:17, located at 212 S.E. 1st Avenue, has already had an impact on the city, said council member and juvenile probation officer Rick Bennett.
"This is something our city has needed for a long time," he added, noting the club allows local youth to "find a positive place to expend some of that energy."
Council member Thomas Lively, also a manager at Chili's, said the restaurant is dedicated to helping the club maintain and build on early success.
He applauded applicant Brenda Stewart for providing a safe place for youth to hang out while receiving a good meal.
"I deal with more kids in this town than anybody," Bennett added.
"They tell me [Venue 2:17] is a beneficial experience. I think we need to support this with everything we have."
In other business, city council approved an agreement with Bowie Fire Department. The depertment is set to conduct emergency medical service classes for the Graford Volunteer Fire/EMS Department, according to information presented at Tuesday's city council meeting.
In connection with those classes, city staff requested council allow students to perform clinical rotations through the Mineral Wells Fire/EMS Department.
The agency has previously agreed to provide clinical rotations for local students in such classes and Bowie Fire/EMS would be required to furnish liability for all students while on their rotation.

QUANTICO, Va. — A sergeant at Marine Corps Base Quantico is facing military charges for allegedly making death threats against fellow Marines and co-workers.
WJLA-TV in Washington reported Friday that 31-year-old Edward Charles Cunningham was taken into custody Thursday and is being held at Rappahannock Regional Jail in Stafford.
Base spokesman Lt. Agustin Solivan said Cunningham was sent for a behavioral health screening last week and cleared for duty. But Solivan said Cunningham continued to make verbal threats, prompting authorities to launch court martial proceedings.
The charges come two weeks after a Marine at Quantico killed two colleagues and then himself at a barracks for staffers at the Officer Candidates School.
Base spokesmen did not return calls and emails Friday from The Associated Press.

The Gilt Club Restaurant caught the attention of national foodies when it hosted a James Beard Foundation event, and won over the public with its cameo on the first episode of Portlandia. Described as "part lab, party swanky James Bond hideaway," by Portland Monthly, Gilt Club's décor swaddles guests in crimson curtains and high-backed booths illuminated by organically shaped chandeliers. Owner and manager Jamie Dunn is often spotted prowling the house in shiny gold shoes while executive chef Neil Everett helms the kitchen. Neil's seasonal menu marries European tradition with gourmet local and organic ingredients—such as tom yum mussels, ricotta gnocchi, and hanger steak—that come from businesses and farms with sustainable practices whenever possible.
Behind Gilt's gilded bar, a pair of bartenders whips up signature cocktails from an impressive list of 125 spirits, including house-infused liquors spiced with ingredients such as beet, habanero, and blood orange. Even in the vintage cocktails, house-made bitters surprise jaded taste buds like a soufflé stuffed with joy buzzers.
Seeking a home for her one-of-a-kind mixed drinks—including lollipop-rimmed martinis—nationally recognized mixologist Lucy opened Mint restaurant in the spring of 2001. Her acclaimed cocktails' popularity grew so quickly that in 2003, she opened an adjacent lounge where patrons could focus on drinks such as avocado daiquiris and jalapeño-and-pineapple margaritas. Along with its selection of 40 signature cocktails, the bistro has been luring patrons in with chef Brian McElmeel's Pan-American-style dishes, which are composed predominantly of local and organic ingredients and influences from the Pacific Northwest, Mediterranean, and Latin America.
Four nights a week, the notes from live local jazz artists resonate off the high copper ceilings and bronze chandeliers of Wilfs Restaurant & Bar, which has served upscale cuisine within Portland's restored Union Station building since 1975. Head chef Deb Serkoian complements the serenade by crafting seasonal dishes with organic ingredients culled from local and regional farmers, including fresh seafood and meat from sources such as Double 'R' Ranch, Draper Valley, and Carlton Farms. At the bar, mixologists pour classic cocktails and new signature concoctions inspired by the seasons, recalling the annual beauty of a violet bud as it blooms into a glass of cabernet.
The chefs at Branch make everything from scratch—including butchering their own steak, curing their own bacon, and smoking their own poultry—to put their distinctive stamp on traditional dishes. Classic comfort foods take on inventive transformations to result in such unusual plates as Maine lobster dumplings and macaroni 'n' cheese gratin with Oregon black-truffle oil. On their side of the establishment, the bartenders take the same artisanal approach by infusing their bourbon with fresh local fruit and concocting their own whiskey liqueurs. The full bar features an extensive whiskey list with more than 150 whiskeys from around the world available in single glasses or tasting flights.
For rookie puffers, the hookah is a glass water pipe originally from India that is popular for smoking syrup-soaked tobacco. Filtering the smoke through cool water results in a smooth, mellow experience that is on par with the Sultan Hookah Lounge's relaxed atmosphere. While sipping the house Turkish coffee with friends, enjoy more than 100 different flavors of tobacco, including double apple, orange crush, mango, strawberry daiquiri, vanilla, honeydew melon, lemon, mint, rose, apricot, and cappuccino. Tobaccos can be mixed to create custom candy-flavored goodness, such as orange crush daiquiri, vanilla cappuccino, or immortality-bestowing ambrosial nectar. Sultan's also offers outdoor seating for mixing the flavors of hookah with the scent of the open air.
In 1979, Scandals opened it's doors in downtown, unaware that after a 32 year journey and three locations, it would come to be viewed as a Portland Institution. Scandals has survived the economy's ups and downs by emerging as Portland's very own "Gay Cheers". Ok, maybe everyone won't know your name, but the bar's open layou

Pack a pistol and get a discount on your food? It's a deal some establishments around the country are offering to customers as a way to show their stance on gun control.
Athens, Ala., barbecue restaurateur Bill Davis Jr. is offering a $1 discount to customers who present their pistol permit when ordering at Hickory Barn Bar-B-Que.
The offer isn't just a cheap appeal for customers; Davis is an authentic proponent of concealed weapon laws.
"There are a lot of law-abiding people who carry a pistol, and it would be nice to appreciate some of them," Davis said Wednesday in announcing the promotion. "We thought it would be a little something different to do to promote folks to get them a pistol permit."
In South Ogden, Utah, one Farr's Fresh ice cream shop announced on its Facebook page that Feb. 4 was "Concealed Carry Day." Customers were instructed to present their concealed carry permit for a $1 discount.
The next day, a Facebook post announced that the shop would be having a "Second Amendment week" due to the large response it received.
All Around Pizza and Deli in Virginia Beach, Va., posted a deal on its website offering 15 percent off to those who "show us you carry openly or show us a concealed weapons permit."

EAST POINT, Ga. —
Police in suburban Atlanta say they're searching for three people accused of attacking an 80-year-old man.
East Point police say the man was in his car when he was assaulted in his driveway Sept. 14 by at least two men and a woman.
Officials say the woman driving the car blocked the man in his driveway and one of the suspects threw a brick through one of the man's windows.
Police say the men pistol whipped the victim, who suffered broken bones in his face and cuts to both of his arms. Information on a possible motive behind the assault wasn't immediately available.
Authorities say a reward of up to $2,000 is available for information leading to an arrest.

Gopeng is small town, just 2 1/2 hours away from Kuala Lumpur. It was once flourished with tin mining industry, and now Gopeng is flourished with eco-tourism and outdoor adventure.
Gopeng is surrounded by jungles, rivers, waterfalls, mountains, caves, ponds, and villages. This makes Gopeng a great adventure destination!
My Gopeng Resort is formed by a group of crazy outdoor experts and turning the place into an outstanding training ground with endless adventure possibilities!
Upon reaching the resort, one can enjoy the green scenery and tranquility which cannot be found anywhere in the hustle and bustle of the city. Expect the cool and refreshing breeze and the originality of the surroundings in this resort as it is designed to be environmental friendly and make people to be close to the nature and make people love the nature.
This resort is undoubtedly complete in facilities wise such as a halls, praying room, camping sites, campfire, canteen, adequate washrooms all over the resort for people to enjoy themselves in such a comfortable environment.
Secondly, MY Gopeng Resort is the proper and original resort of its kind. From accommodation to its hospitality wise, one word to describe it all, 'MARVELLOUS'.
Not only that, the activities is as exciting as well. Eco Base Camp, jungle trekking to Cameron Highlands, whitewater rafting along the Sungai Kampar, witnessing the Rafflesia flower and caving in Gua Tempurung and waterfall abseiling are among the main attractions here, just to name a few.

The dining room at the delicious but tiny Manna Wok. This weeks reader question on my Dining with Denise newsletter comes from Frank, who wonders if Ive ever tried Cafe Asia at 6546 E. Central. (I havent, but according to Frank, I need to change that.)
It got me thinking about all the little-known restaurants Ive come to love, many based on reader recommendations. Manna Wok at 4865 E. Central comes to mind, as does Malaysia Cafe at 7777 E. 21st St. N.
My question of the week: Whats your favorite little-known restaurant in town? Theyre not all Asian. Ive heard from readers over the years about several teeny tiny Mexican places and underrated burger joints, too.
If you dont mind your little-known place becoming a bit more well-known, would you mind nominating it in the comments section below?

NORMAN — Two witnesses of the two-vehicle fatality wreck that led to a manslaughter charge last year testified in court Thursday.
Angel and Kurt Wilbourn were questioned in front of the jury and several who attended the trial, including Oklahoma County employees who worked with the victim who died in the wreck, 36-year-old Safari McDoulett of Oklahoma City.
Angel Wilbourn and her son, Kurt, were on their way home with family from visiting Angel's parents in Shawnee when they saw the accident occur. Kurt, 17, recounted what he saw after the collision occurred.
McDoulett's black SUV was upside down in the middle of the roadway on State Highway 9. Kurt said the whole vehicle was damaged.
"When I got to the car, she (McDoulett) was laying in front of it," Kurt said. "I asked if she was alright and I touched her shoulder."
When asked if she responded, Kurt said no.
Kurt then made his way over to the yellow Dodge Ram pickup that had crossed the center line, causing the collision. When he reached the vehicle he said the driver was outside of his vehicle, leaning into the driver's side window and doing something with his phone.
When Kurt asked the man if he was OK, he didn't reply. When questioned in court, Kurt said he saw no injuries to the man and he appeared conscious. When asked about the man's demeanor or appearance, Kurt said the man appeared to be slightly slow and unresponsive, like he wasn't processing things very fast.
The driver did not respond to Angel either whenever she reached the truck.
Shortly after, a park ranger reached the scene and he did not receive a response from the driver either, reports indicate. At that point, Kurt said, the park ranger pulled the man out where he was leaning into the window to try to get him to comply with his instructions and answer his questions.

The Internet Society has collected some of the many articles, presentations, and videos delivered around the world since June. The list below is not comprehensive, but is meant to be a representation of the best outcomes from the event.
Title: World IPv6 Day Observations
In this session from the Technical Plenary at IETF 81, Leslie Daigle provided an introduction to World IPv6 Day and the overwhelming industry response. Panelists from Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Telefonica, and Cisco then presented their companies' results including how they prepared for the event, issues that arose, lessons learned, and the current status of IPv6 in their networks today.
Title: Some World IPv6 Day Measurement Results
In this session from the IPv6 Operations Working Group at IETF81, Ari Keränen and Jari Arkko presented their findings from measuring AAAA records, TCP connection delays, and failures of the 10,000 most popular websites.
Title: World IPv6 Day @ Microsoft
In this session from the IPv6 Operations Working Group at IETF81, Christopher Palmer and Dave Thaler explained their program goals and general observations that the program was easier than anticipated to implement, but overall IPv6 traffic remained a small percentage of the total.
Title: Check Point's World IPv6 Day Experience
In this session from the IPv6 Operations Working Group at IETF81, Bob Hinden explained the process Check Point used to enable IPv6 on its website after customer inquiries about the company's participation. The implementation went smoothly and the website remained IPv6-enabled after World IPv6 Day.
Title: World IPv6 Day - What did we learn?
In this session from the IPv6 Operations Working Group at IETF81, the RIPE NCC described measurements from DNS, ping(6)/traceroute(6), and HTTP over IPv4 and IPv6 from 40 vantage points. The analysts noted that dual-stack configurations work best and that all transition mechanisms must be tested and monitored.
Title: World IPv6 Day Operators Review
In this session from the IPv6 Operations Working Group at IETF81, Martin Levy described the traffic growth Hurricane Electric saw on World IPv6 Day, including significantly higher IPv6 traffic. Levy also noted PMTU & ICMP6 blocking as main issues, which breaks classic enterprise firewall/filter setups.
Title: Comcast experience with IPv6 deployment
In this session from the IPv6 Operations Working Group at IETF81, John Brzozowski presented results from Comcast's trials including increased traffic on Teredo, 6to4, 6rd, and native IPv6 access. He noted that 50% continued to publish AAAA records after World IPv6 Day and that Comcast enabled SMTP over IPv6 for the day.
Title: Panel: World IPv6 Day Experiences
In this session from NANOG 52, Phil Roberts provided an introduction to World IPv6 Day, the overwhelming industry response, and moderated a panel of some key World IPv6 Day participants. Panelists from Yahoo, Akamai, Comcast, and Cisco then presented their companies' results including how they prepared for the event, issues that arose, lessons learned, and the current status of IPv6 in their networks today.
Title: Investigating IPv6 Traffic: What happened at the World IPv6 Day?
In this paper, we compare IPv6 activity before, during, and after World IPv6 Day. We examine traffic traces recorded at a large European Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and on the campus of a major US university; analyzing volume, application mix, and the use of tunneling protocols for transporting IPv6 packets. For the exchange point we find that native IPv6 traffic almost doubled during the World IPv6 Day while changes in tunneled traffic were limited. At the university, IPv6 traffic increased from 3-6 GB/day to over 130 GB/day during the World IPv6 Day, accompanied by a significant shift in the application and HTTP destination mix. Our results also show that a significant number of participants at the World IPv6 Day kept their IPv6 support online even after the test period ended, suggesting that they did not encounter any significant problems.
Title: Measuring World IPv6 Day - Long-Term Effects
This RIPE NCC article looks at some of the long-term effects of World IPv6 Day, as seen in its measurements a number of weeks after the event. World IPv6 Day was successful and also served as a flag date for people to deploy IPv6 in their networks and keep it running after the day. A few weeks after World IPv6 Day, it's interesting to see what its longer term effects are.
Title: RIPE Labs: Measuring World IPv6 Day – First Impressions
The RIPE NCC shares the results of its measurements both before and during World IPv6 Day. Initial impressions were that things generally worked, and the few issues that arose were fixed quickly.
Title: RIPE Labs: Measuring World IPv6 Day – Long Term Effects
The RIPE NCC shares the results of its measurements a month after World IPv6 Day showing some of the longer term impacts of the event.
Title: RIPE Labs: Measuring World IPv6 Day – Comparing IPv6 and IPv4 Performance
The RIPE NCC shares the results of a comparison of performance measurement between IPv4 and IPv6 between their vantage points in the network and 46 of the websites who turned up IPv6 on that day.
Title: Testing IPv6 for World IPv6 Day
Geoff Huston explains the need for World IPv6 Day and APNIC's IPv6 activities to date. APNIC contributed a tool to measure IPv6 penetration and dual stack performance including assessing clients using IPv6 natively or auto-tunneling via 6to4 or Teredo, and DNS measurements.
Title: World IPv6 Day
Phil Roberts from the Internet Society describes the reason for World IPv6 Day, some of its key participants, and how other organizations can get involved or sign up to participate.

Self-funded insurance complicates single-payerFebruary 25,2013At a news conference Wednesday, opponents of single-payer health care accused the Shumlin administration of covering up a politically toxic financing plan that would be used to fund the new system.
The evidence was entirely circumstantial, and while the allegations will play well with the base, theyre unlikely to move the mainstream.
But the more significant finding in the investigative report produced by Vermonters for Health Care Freedom may have less to do with what tax is used to support single-payer, and more to do with who can and cannot be forced to pay it.
Companies large enough to support their own self-funded insurance pools are one of the enduring conundrums associated with Gov. Peter Shumlins push for single-payer. Self-insured companies (IBM is a popular example) arent subject to state insurance regulations. Any attempt to impose state authority on self-funded plans, regulated by federal law called ERISA, would no doubt be met with a legal challenge. And that means Vermont cant force the more than 100,000 residents getting insurance through ERISA plans into the single-payer system.
Its a problem that, at first blush, would seem to thwart a proposal that relies financially on universal buy-in. But lawmakers and the administration have floated a solution: Subject companies like IBM to whatever tax is used to pay for single-payer, whether their employees are using the system or not.
The people who Vermont paid $300,000 to perform a single-payer report published last month, however, arent so sure that approach will fly.
One of the emails obtained in the public records request filed by Vermonters for Health Care Freedom contains an excerpt from a draft version of the single-payer report that addresses the ERISA dilemma. In it, the UMass team writes that steps should be taken to ensure that individuals and employers do not pay both private premiums and (single-payer) contributions simultaneously for a period.
In an email to UMass sent four days before the final report was issued to lawmakers, Robin Lunge, director of health care reform for the Shumlin administration, asks UMass to strike the language from the report.
In a reply, Katharine London, one of the lead researchers at UMass, consented to the revision. But she continued to express concerns about the issue of forcing double payment. She even offers a solution, saying providing a tax credit to individuals for the premiums they pay for employer-sponsored coverage could avoid a preemption challenge.
She goes on to say that she assumes the final report will include a list of transitional issues and recommendations, and the issue of avoiding double payment is one of those transitional issues. The red flag, though, wasnt raised in the report provided to the Legislature.
The consequences of not being able to include self-insuring companies in a single-payer financing mechanism would presumably be severe. Those companies are among the more stable sources of revenue paying into the existing system, and they hold a considerable slice of the states overall wealth. That makes them an essential component, financially at least, of any viable single-payer plan.
Lunge said ERISA is complex, and that it would have been misleading to include a black-and-white interpretation in an arena where theres so much legal gray area. She said thats why she wanted to leave Londons original language out of the final report.
What I was suggesting to her is if she wanted to talk about that (ERISA) issue, then we needed to have a complete ERISA analysis, Lunge said last week.
Lacking the time to conduct one, Lunge said, it made sense to leave the issue out of the report altogether.
You cant make a general statement about it one way or another and have it be accurate, she said. So what I was trying to suggest is I didnt want her to be inaccurate.
Lunge said she thinks the concerns raised by UMass are more political than legal anyway. Lunge, a lawyer, thinks Vermont is probably well within its authority to impose single-payer taxes on self-insured companies, even if those companies didnt want to avail themselves of the coverage the new system offers.
She said its true that people are going to be upset if you tax them for health insurance theyre already paying for.
Its obviously an issue we need to take seriously and study and figure out the right way to do it, Lunge said.
Legally, though, she said the problem arises when Vermont treats self-insured companies differently than the businesses over whose insurance plans it does wield regulatory authority. She said that means that if Vermont uses a payroll or other employer-based tax in the single-payer financing mix, the state would most likely risk federal violations only if it exempts ERISA companies from paying it.
The general advice to date is taxes are OK because states have a constitutional ability to tax and spend, Lunge said. But it puts you between a rock and a hard place, because what you may want to do to ensure people are treated fairly may conflict with federal law.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The Vermont State College system is looking at $1 million in job cuts as it faces...

By LIZZY MCLELLAN
Capital News Service
ANNAPOLIS - A Maryland lawmaker wants to require the use of carbon monoxide detectors in all public schools following two leaks of the harmful gas in a Baltimore school last February.
Delegate Cheryl Glenn, D-Baltimore, reintroduced a bill last week that would mandate installation of the detectors, which are currently absent from many Maryland schools.
Glenn first proposed the legislation in February in reaction to two carbon monoxide leaks which took place within one week at Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle School. Both leaks sent students to the hospital.
"I was stunned to learn that schools aren't required ... to have carbon monoxide detectors," said Glenn. "All of the schools in Baltimore city are old. Our heating and ventilation systems ... need to be monitored for carbon monoxide."
Glenn withdrew the original bill soon after its introduction last year so she could learn more about the issue.
Baltimore required all of its more than 200 public schools to install detectors following last year's leaks. The installation cost about $8,000 total, said Blaine Lipski, head of the Department of Facility Maintenance and Operations for Baltimore City Public Schools.
Lipski said that while the mandate was initially meant as a way to ease the public conscience following an "isolated incident," it will ultimately be a useful safeguard for staff and students. Many schools in other areas, including Carroll, Harford and Prince George's Counties, still lack this safeguard.
Carroll County Public Schools Superintendent Stephen H. Guthrie called the proposed legislation "an expense for us that would be unnecessary," and said the issue should be left up to local officials. He said funding would be better spent on school roofs and upgrading HVAC systems.
Guthrie said that each Carroll County public school has an Air Quality Team in place to stay on top of all sorts of air quality issues. He said that Carroll County is already covering its bases in terms of preventing carbon monoxide issues in schools.
"This would appear to be another unfunded mandate," Guthrie said. "I would rather spend my money on preventative measures than on detection. I'm not sure if incidents at one school warrant making a precedent with statewide legislation."
Because carbon monoxide is odorless, a leak can easily go unnoticed until occupants of a building begin to experience symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, which include nausea, headaches and dizziness. Inhalation of too much carbon monoxide can be deadly.
Carbon monoxide leaks are not a common occurrence in schools, but have the potential to take place in any building with equipment that burns fossil fuels, said Bruce Bouch, director of public education for the Maryland Fire Marshal. Dangerous leaks are more likely in older schools, he added.
Gov. Martin O'Malley proposed a $373 million investment in school construction last week as part of an ongoing effort to modernize Maryland schools.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Connecticut is the only state that currently requires carbon monoxide detectors in schools. The law went into effect in July 2011 following a leak at an elementary school in which 30 students experienced symptoms.
Glenn said that protection of children from this "silent killer" can no longer be optional.
"We don't want to react to some child dying," said Glenn. "We want to be proactive."
Local Editor Kym Byrnes contributed to this story.

Tim Roy had no idea that he was thwarting his family's plans.
"He wanted to eat at Casa Ole," said Blair Granger, Roy's oldest daughter. "They're having a sale on fajitas."
Fortunately, Roy's wife, Lisa, and their younger daughter, Brooke Villafano, were able to convice him to have his Wednesday lunch at Larry's French Market and Cajun Restaurant, 3701 Pure Atlantic Road, Groves.
But the battle still wasn't over. Roy — oblivious to his family and friends waiting in a banquet room at the back — wanted to sit at a table near the front of the restaurant.
"My wife put her hand on my back and pushed me over here," Roy said. "Then I said, 'Ah, something's wrong.'"
By the time he realized something was amiss, the Groves Chamber of Commerce and Tourist Center had presented Roy, 56, with the 2013 Father of the Year award.
An emotional Roy admitted that his family had pulled one over on him. Because his wife was named the 2012 Mother of the Year in Groves, he didn't anticipate that this year's Father of the Year plaque would bear his name.
"I wondered why Brooke was swaying me here," Roy said. "I wasn't expecting this at all."
With Father's Day on the horizon, Roy's daughters thought the award would express their gratitude to their father in a way they never could.
"After awhile, there's not a card or a gift that says enough," said Granger, 31. "This is as close as we can come to thanking him."
Granger and Villafano each read letters they had written nominating their father. Villafano, 29, described Roy as "a hardworking father, faithful husband and family man who can cook."
"Even people who have never met him know about his legendary gumbo," wrote Villafano, who lives in Beaumont. "I don't think he knows how to make anything that serves less than 20."
Granger, who drove from her home in Spring for the event, said that her father's full-time job at Total — where he has spent the past 37 years — never prevented him from attending his daughters' school programs, dance recitals and performances at Port Neches-Groves High School football games.
"Because it seemed impossible for one man to do so much, it often seemed as if Dad had a body double," Granger wrote.
Board member Christa Hollier said that the sincerity of those letters gave Roy the edge over the other nominees.
"There are a lot of deserving dads, but their letters are just so heartfelt," Hollier said. "You feel like you know Tim when you read them."

"A revolution without dancing, is a revolution not worth having." (V for Vendetta, 2005)
For many homecoming is a revolution. It's a celebration unifying students from the ocean of time. It fosters pride and confidence in a scholastic body. And for a football team, the game is nothing short of battle, where the home team works their hardest to crush invaders from another land. Homecoming is a high school revolution, but for Chickasha, it is a revolution without dancing.
Elizabeth Ketchum was responsible for the week-long homecoming festivities from 1994 until 2003. During that time she thinks there may have been one homecoming dance, but she's not sure.
"Homecoming week was so filled with activities, that the dance ended up not being one of them," she said.
And it still is filled with activities. Chickasha Homecoming is a major event for the town, but for students, the last 15 years have been without a school sponsored dance to cap it all off.
This was not Ketchum's choice. She said the school handbook allots for only two dances a year. Prom and a Winter Semi-formal have taken these spots for the last decade.
Ketchum said she believes these regulations can be changed at any time as they are simply administrative policies in a handbook.
Today, Chickasha High School Librarian Angela Widener presides over Homecoming week. She's organized the hall decorations, parade and worked with students on themes since Ketchum's reign. Since then, there has only been one dance around Homecoming and it was put on by a separate group from the high school. Students aren't complaining though.
"In today's age kids kind of do their own thing," Widener said.
There are staples such as the Mr. Chickasha pageant that have stood the test of time for homecoming, but the dance is not one of them.
And Chickasha isn't alone in this regard. Tuttle doesn't have a dance, and neither does Minco.
The students don't seem to mind. At least they aren't saying they do. So the days of Ren McCormick violently parading around an industrial complex may be gone when it comes to homecoming in Chickasha. It appears, at least for now, the Sunday shoes will stay on student's feet.
