Marycarmen's Q & A
Favorite Sport/Team
Soccer and Basketball, Manchester United and the San Antonio Spurs, baby!
Favorite Movie/Actor
I love too many films! I enjoy going to the movies by myself and I make sure that I attend every film festival that I can!
Go-to karaoke song
You Know I'm No Good and Back to Black by Amy Winehouse or Get Rhythm by Johnny Cash
My first job
Grocery bagger and cart collector at H-E-B Grocery.
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
One tattoo on my left wrist: 'Stay gold...' from the Stevie Wonder song and, of course, The Outsiders. Stay gold, stay hungry, stay curious and always view life with childlike enthusiasm.
If you could do a shot of Jose Cuervo with anyone -- dead or alive -- who would it be?
Bob Marley, Jeff Buckley or Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Mac or PC?
MAC! Oh wait, you're talking computers, huh? Either or - both are cool! I do love making mini films on iMovie though!
Nintendo, Xbox 360, PS3, or don't game?
Old-school Super Nintendo! I'm awesome at Super Mario, I know all the tricks and secrets. I used to stay up and play it with my brother and sisters until we beat the whole game. I was also really good at playing Tomb Raider - I love adventures!
What fun fact, talent or superpower of yours should guys know about?
Fun fact: I've only had one boyfriend. We lasted eight years. Talent: I love to write poetry, I'm great at word games like Scrabble and I'm a tomboy. I play good soccer, I love to climb trees and I know how to skateboard! I'm really not scared of trying anything. Superpower: I'm kinda psychic and can read people very well.
What's the most memorable pick up line you've ever heard?
"I swear I've seen your face in my dreams before." Psh!
What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
Thanks to my job I get to do cool things. I've held pythons, scorpions and tarantulas in my hands, I've been in a cage with two white tigers and swam with giant stingrays. But the craziest stunt was when I was covering a carnival and there were six dirt bikes going full speed inside of a large steel sphere and I was in the middle doing my introduction to my segment. Yikes, my heart was pumping and my ears were bursting!
What's the most unusual place you've ever hooked up? How'd it go?
That's for me to remember.
What's in your purse or pocket right now?
Just looked in my pocket and found pistachio shells! I'm a fan of healthy snacking and if there's no trash can around, I'll put the shells in my pocket. Better than littering! As for my purse, my friends make fun of me because I carry almost everything: Band aids, hand sanitizer, toothbrush and more.
What do you feel most comfortable wearing?
I love dressing up, but there's no better feeling than wearing an oversized men's t-shirt with no bra and panties to bed.
Would you rather have boring sex all the time or an amazing romp once a year?
An amazing romp once a year, for sure. Ladies should never spread themselves thin. I'm a hopeless romantic, I have to be in love or have really strong feelings in order to give so much of myself to someone.
As a Hometown Hottie, guys will try hard to impress you. What does he have to do to really keep up with you?
I'm a free spirit. Be yourself, have your own interests, and let me be. At the end of the day I'll go straight to you. I'm not impressed by pretentious gestures. I like a man who is chivalrous effortlessly.

Steve Stirling
Assistant Coach
Stirling joined the B-Sens for the 2010-11 season, returning to the American Hockey League after coaching the Iserlohn Roosters of the German elite hockey league (DEL) in 2008-09. He spent the 2007-08 season as head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning's AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals, following one year with the Springfield Falcons (the Lightning's former affiliate) in 2006-07.
The 62 year-old native of Clarkson, Ont. spent more than three seasons in the New York Islanders' organization from 2001-02 to 2005-06, including a season and a half as head coach of the NHL club, where he registered 56 wins in 124 games and a post-season berth in his first year with the team in 2003-04. Stirling had been promoted from the Islanders' AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, where he served as head coach during their first two years of AHL action in 2001-02 and 2002-03. The Hockey News named Stirling Minor Pro Coach of the Year in 2001-02 after he led the Sound Tigers to a 43-25-8-4 record and a spot in the Calder Cup Final. He led the Sound Tigers to the playoffs again in 2002-03 and finished with a record of 83-51-19-7 in two seasons.
Prior to his arrival in Bridgeport, Stirling spent three seasons as assistant coach with the AHL's Lowell Lock Monsters, where he worked the final two years for current Anaheim Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau.
Undrafted, Stirling played professionally for six seasons after a collegiate career at Boston University. He spent the majority of the 1975-76 season with the North American Hockey League's Binghamton Dusters, where he ranked second in team scoring with 66 points (24 goals, 42 assists). Stirling played in the AHL with Boston (1971-72 to 1973-74) and Rochester (1974-75 to 1976-77) before concluding his career with one season in Austria. He began his coaching career in 1978-79 with the NCAA's Babson College, where he spent 11 of the next 13 seasons. Stirling's two-year hiatus from Babson occurred in the 1983-84 and 1984-85 seasons, when he served as head coach at Providence College.
Stirling and his wife Francesca have two children; sons Todd and Scott.

Harlem Walks to the Farmers Market
By Shanon Morris
It's growing season again, which means that carts full of fruits and vegetables are on every other corner and farmers markets are filled with city folks looking to buy local. As Associate Director of Community Nutrition, I work on nutrition programming for Food Bank's network, but also provide nutrition education to the Harlem residents at our Community Kitchen and Food Pantry. One of my favorite activities is going on farmers market walks with our clients. We gather at the Community Kitchen at 116th Street and walk to 125th Street. During that time we chat about life and I get the chance to stay connected with the community in which I live and serve.
Once at the market, we watch a cooking demonstration by Stellar Farmers Market nutritionists, who use Food Bank's Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetables recipes to show people how to turn local produce into tasty and healthy dishes. As the cooking demo ends, the moment our clients have been waiting for arrives: I give out Health Bucks to everyone who attended. Health Bucks are $2 vouchers provided by the Department of Health to help increase access to local produce. They can be used at all New York City farmers markets. With Health Bucks in hand, our clients and I walk around the market looking at the day's offerings, and they buy fresh fruits and vegetables to take home. Afterward, we walk back to the Community Kitchen together.
I've been leading farmers market tours for three years and have been joined by many of the same clients on every walk. They start asking me about it well before growing season arrives. Clearly, it's become a tradition. I hope that our talks, the cooking demonstrations, and the produce they're able to buy have helped influence healthy behavior changes in their lives. Just as we strive to build healthy relationships with people, it's important to also strive for healthy relationships with food!
To find a farmers market in New York City, visit www.nyc.gov/health/farmersmarkets.

Balloon Lands, Boy Not Inside
A homemade hot air balloon thought to have a 6-year-old Colorado boy trapped inside has landed -- but the boy was nowhere to be found.
News reports indicate local authorities are frantically searching for the child on the ground, including in the neighborhood where he lives. Reports initially indicated the boy may have climbed into a box that was attached to the balloon that may have fallen off, but now others are reporting that there may have not been a basket on the craft at all.
The AP reports the balloon was owned by the boy's parents and tethered behind the family's home. The boy and his brother were reportedly playing in the yard where the balloon was tethered when the older child says he saw his younger brother go into a compartment at the bottom of the balloon and fly away. The aircraft landed roughly two hours later -- but he was not inside.
The boy, reportedly identified as 6-year-old Falcon Heene, starred on ABC's "Wife Swap" with his family. His father, Richard, is a storm chaser who, along with his family, is said to "live on the edge."

Well in 2002 they were pretty big but not close to what they are now. I find it interesting that RHCP has headlined 3 times since Foo Fighters have been to Coachella. The Foos are bound to happen, I'd say sooner than later.
I wouldn't be against the Foo Fighters headlining...in fact I'd choose them over Muse, that's for sure. But maybe Dave hates the desert? I dunno.
MY NEW 2014 COACHELECTRO MIX! 58 of This Years Artists In Just 50 Minutes! FREE DOWNLOAD!
Frankly, I'm surprised the Foo Fighters haven't headlined already.
Jeez unless we get Bowie and Daft Punk the well has run dry
never headlined or played before but could:
David Bowie
Neil Young
Stevie Wonder
Bruce Springsteen
The Rolling Stones
Justin Timberlake
The Who
Pearl Jam
Played before and ready to upgrade to headliner:
Daft Punk
Mumford and Sons
Foo Fighters
Played before and almost a headliner:
The National
Vampire Weekend
Could headline, but odd fit for the festival:
Green Day
No Doubt
Fleetwood Mac
Iron Maiden
Lady Gaga
Elton John
Tom Petty
Who else?
I would die of happiness if AC/DC headlined
Other possibilities:
Jack White & Friends
Missy Elliott & Friends
Sigur Ros (upgrade)
Eric Clapton (odd fit)
9/25 Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, 9/27 How to Dress Well, 9/28 The War on Drugs, 10/1 Jenny Lewis, 10/3 & 10/5 ACL W1, 10/10 CHVRCHES, 10/11 Spoon, 10/12 ACL W2, 10/13 Paul McCartney, 10/16 Rodrigo y Gabriela, 10/18 twenty one pilots, 10/19 Erasure, 11/4 Manchester Orchestra, 11/7 Rufus Wainwright, 11/7-11/9 FFF Fest, 11/12 Tedeschi Trucks Band, 11/19 Chrissie Hynde, 11/23 Caribou, 12/14 Fleetwood Mac, 12/19 The Black Keys + St. Vincent

Your right to vote
When the founders were working on their ideas for Constitutional government, a major problem was how to write in the checks and balances needed to guarantee liberty and the right to representation for all. A large concern was the recognition of self-interest in human nature and the tendency to form factions in support of that self interest. Our party system has evolved.

BBB has advice for landing a holiday job
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- As retailers start gearing up for the holidays, some job hunters could get an early present this year in the form of a seasonal job. According to National Retail Federation, retail sales are expected to increase 2.8 percent this holiday season. As many retailers will be looking to add to their employee roster, Better Business Bureau recommends applicants apply early, research potential employers and come prepared for the interview.
According to a release put out by Nation Retail Federation, retailers are expected to hire approximately 500,000 seasonal workers this year. Toys R Us announced plans to hire close to 3,000 seasonal employees in Texas as part of a nationwide plan to add 45,000 holiday employees. Other retailers plan to hire up to 30 percent more seasonal staff than last year.
"The hundreds of thousands of jobs created during the holiday season help people support their families by supplementing their household income and providing generous employee discounts," said National Retail Federation President and CEO Matthew Shay in a release in October.
BBB recommends applying early and taking a few simple steps to increase your chance of landing a seasonal job.
� Do research ahead of time. Figure out what job suits you best and then identify companies you would like to work for. Check with bbb.org to find trustworthy companies that might be hiring seasonal staff. Many companies direct applicants to their website to apply for a job, so make sure to apply there instead of through a third party Internet site.
� Be suspicious of "too good to be true" job offers. Many consumers use online classifieds to search for local job openings. Unfortunately, scammers flock to these sites, posting job scams aimed at stealing money or the identities of job seekers. Never pay for a background check, a job application or for anything else before you are hired.
� Work where you shop. Employers want applicants that know their products well. So, if you shop at certain stores frequently, chances are you know a lot about the company and the merchandise they sell. This will make you an attractive choice because they won't have to spend as much time and money training you.
� Be available and flexible. Holiday hiring managers are drawn to candidates who will be available and have a flexible schedule. Seasonal employees will likely find themselves working long, sometimes inconvenient hours and even holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.
� Put your best foot forward. Job hunters need to dress their best and be prepared for the interview. This includes being familiar with the company's brand and its products. Retail job hunters in particular need to focus on impressing potential employers with their customer service skill set -- which is a must when dealing with stressed-out shoppers, long check-out lines and day-after-Christmas returns.
To check the reliability of a company and find trustworthy businesses, visit bbb.org.
About Better Business Bureau:
BBB's mission is to be the leader in advancing marketplace trust.

The annual exhibition of Turner watercolours is currently on display in the Print Gallery of the National Gallery of Ireland, closing 31 January. Admission is free.
On 25 January 1900, a resolution was passed by the Governors and guardians of the National Gallery of Ireland which 'gratefully accepted' Henry Vaughan's bequest of 31 watercolours and drawings by JMW Turner RA (1775-1851). Vaughan was a wealthy English collector who died in 1899. His prized Turner watercolours were divided between the National Galleries in London, Dublin and Edinburgh. In his bequest, he stipulated that the works should only be shown during the month of January, and he provided a cabinet for their safe storage when not on display.
The 2013 exhibition will include the entire Vaughan Bequest, in addition to 5 other watercolours acquired in recent years, and a selection of Turner's Liber Studiorum prints.

When you first look at Morgan's new luxury car, the Morgan EvaGT, you would never expect it to be large enough to fit a family of four. However, this is exactly what Morgan says the vehicle is capable of. According to Morgan, "the car can seat four adults and has a large boot (reference the current Morgan Aero SuperSport, but it is considerably deeper on the EvaGT with a full hatch style entry)." The vehicle was built with practicality in mind and offers a comfortable ride for a family's everyday traveling needs.
Inspired by UK's early 1950s sport saloons, the Eva GT is based on the Aero SuperSports platform currently used in production for the Morgan Aero SuperSports GT3 race cars. Back in 2010, Morgan announced details on their latest creation which was already available for order. A deposit of £5000 was needed to reserve your EvaGT and the first 100 cars are planned for production to begin in mid 2012.
The Eva GT is powered by a BMW Twin Turbo straight six engine that develops a total of 306 HP and 400 NM of torque and is mated to a 6 speed manual or automatic gearbox. The car sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of 170 mph.
UPDATE 12/16/2011: The Worcestershire-based car builder has announced that customers will have to wait another two years to finally see the EvaGT put into production. Originally scheduled for a Geneva Motor Show debut in 2012, the Morgan Eva GT will actually be making its appearance at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show due to the fact that the company wants to integrate magnesium alloy technology - which is currently under development - into the vehicle.
During the past few months, Morgan has spent more than £1.4 million for this revolutionary material which will be used for the car's chassis. The company hopes that by using magnesium it will make the car less dense and will improve both weight and structural performance.
Press release after the jump.
Press release
The goal is to manufacture a practical car that could be used everyday and answer all a family's transport needs. Although it has two large doors the car can seat four adults and has a large boot (reference the current Morgan Aero SuperSport, but it is considerably deeper on the EvaGT with a full hatch style entry). As all Morgans the car will be fun to drive with sensitive hydraulic power steering and excellent balance. The mass is evenly distributed within the axles and the car has short overhangs.
- Weight 1250 kgs
- Rear wheel drive
- BMW Twin Turbo straight six.
- 306 Bhp 400 nm torque
- Choice of 6 speed manual or automatic gearbox.
- ABS Brakes

- 40 mpg 7.06 litres/100 kms
- Predicted 0-60 (100km/h) 4.5 secs
- Predicted V/max 170mph/273 km/h
The powertrain of the EvaGT has been developed over 3 years using BMW facilities for high speed testing, hot weather sign off and emission testing.
- Designed on Catia
- A development of the Aero SuperSports platform currently used in production and for the Morgan Aero SuperSports GT3 race cars
- Compliant with US and European Safety standards
- Continental Smart Airbag System
- Designed in Alias
- Aerodynamically efficient
- Superplastically formed panels made from lightweight alloys. The large outer panels are adhesively bonded to inner panels that are predrilled for interior features.
- Xenon lights
- Wireless canbus system for reliability
- EPDM rubber seals with varying shore hardness for a quiet seal to suit the aperture
- Minimal shutlines
- Electronic window drop
- GPS system with Apple connectivity
The Morgan Motor Company is taking orders with a request for a deposit of £5000 to ensure an early allocated build slot. The first 100 cars are planned for production to begin in mid 2012.

Of the approximately 100 species of cuttlefish, the Australian giant cuttlefish is the largest cuttlefish in the world. They can grow almost five feet long and weigh almost 30 pounds.
The coolest thing about these colossal cephalopods is their ability to change color for a number of reasons, including aggression, excitement, camouflage, or mating. They can change color so effectively that they can become almost entirely invisible when hiding among rocks and in caves. When they want to be noticed, they can put on a brilliant display of colors and flashes, particularly during the winter mating season.

Whisky Type
Bowmore 23 Year Old 1987 vintage Islay single malt Scotch whiskey. Single sherry butt bottled November 2010 by Douglas Laing & Co. for the Old & Rare Platinum Selection. 218 bottles.
Big, phenolic, maritime, smoky, beachy – and self evidently from Islay on the nose – the only hint of Sherry is evident from its colour. Very interesting on the palate by way of its overtly perfumed spiciness – initially dry with even some Wright's coal tar soap plus yesterday's ashy bonfire. Its finish starts to show only now – some late sweet Sherry beyond its Islay style.
Bowmore Distillery was established on the Isle of Islay off the west coast of Scotland by John Simpson in 1779. Situated in Bowmore by the shore of Loch Indaal it is the oldest working distillery on Islay and one of the oldest malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Bowmore Distillery continues to produce a proportion of its malted barley on its own traditional malting floors and malt kilns. Visitors are welcomed in the Bowmore visitor centre where distillery tours are available in addition to Bowmore Distillery cottages to rent. Bowmore Distillery is a participant in Feis Isle, the Islay Festival of Malt and Music.

Proof of How Powerful Design Can Be.
We watched this video recently and were touched by the story, the movement and the cause to end the LRA conflict in Uganda. Besides from this powerful cause, we saw how design made an impact on igniting a change for good - by educating, informing and sharing what is happening in Uganda with the entire world. Check it out.
Via Fast Company:
A little-known American charity dedicated to helping victims of African conflict has scored a public relations coup. Invisible Children's new 30-minute Kony 2012 video, directed by Jason Russell, has been viewed over 440,000 times since being placed on YouTube on March 5. The film is intended to raise public awareness of the devastating Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) conflict in Uganda; Fast Company has written previously about the LRA's routine use of child labor and rape.
So far, the campaign has managed to get more than 4 million total views across the web in a little more than 48 hours. The documentary focuses on Joseph Kony, the LRA leader responsible for years of violent atrocities in Uganda and nearby countries. According to Invisible Children, the film and a related campaign "aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice." Invisible Children has been canny about marketing the film through social media via the use of Twitter hashtags (#kony2012) and celebrities. Rihanna, Stephen Fry, and The Onion'sBaratunde Thurston have all tweeted about the film. In addition, Invisible Children is organizing a celebrity pressure campaign to get, among others, Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg, and Lady Gaga to publicize #kony2012.

Data Migration Best Practices - Post Two of Two
In our last blog post on data migration solutions and best practices, we discussed how common it is for problems to arise when performing a data migration and the implications of a botched migration. We also touched on the first two (of five) best practices for data migration: Understand, select, and locate the data to migrate and extract, clean and transform the data. In this blog, we'll cover the next three best practices designed to help you migrate data smoothly.
3. Move Data Systematically
Once you've determined how to transform your data, you begin the largely manual process of actually transforming it. Quite often various people perform data migrations ad hoc, taking various approaches at various times. It's best to establish and enforce policies for migrating data. You might want to restrict data migrations to overnight hours when network usage is low so it doesn't interfere with regular business operations, as example. Automated tools are available that can also help confirm a consistent process.
Although it may seem obvious, you should also try to avoid irreversible transformations, and definitely store a backup copy of the original data. If the migration doesn't work, for some reason, you'll want the ability to undo mistakes.
4. Test and Validate
Migrating data over the network itself can result in errors. For this reason, we recommend that you check and test the migrated data to verify that it's an accurate representation of the original data, and is in the expected format. In their rush to complete a data migration, organizations often skip this step. But without testing and validating the migrated data, you can't be confident of its integrity. Ultimately, you want to be prepared for the most rigorous test available—user acceptance testing.
5. Audit and Document
Once you've ensured the integrity of your data, you'll need to prove it. In this age of compliance mandates, you should document what you did at each stage of the migration process. Then you should create and preserve a clear, traceable audit trail of who did what to which data and when. In effect, you want to document what you did and preserve the evidence that you did it.
While you may not migrate data often, considering the increasing value and importance of data to organizations, it's worth doing right the first time. By implementing these simple best practices, you can dramatically reduce the likelihood of data migration failure. At the same time, you can help your company become more responsive and avoid compliance problems. The best outcome from a data migration that goes well, however, is solid data integrity!

Accused killer Jerry Jones sits in court at his pretrial hearing ij December 2005 in Calhoun, Ga. Jones has pleaded guilty to killing three of his ex-girlfriend's relatives and his own infant daughter. Jones also is accused of abducting three other children at the time of the killings in January 2004. He was caught in East Ridge.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
CALHOUN, Ga. -- A man convicted of killing his infant daughter and three of his ex-wife's family members now believes he is targeted in a financial conspiracy led by police, a psychiatrist testified Friday.
Psychiatrist Dr. Jordan Woods testified that, when he evaluated convicted killer Jerry Jones on Thursday, the man said he was a member of the Dow Jones family and was being targeted for his wealth.
These statements and other documented hallucinations prompted Woods to diagnose Jones with a severe psychotic illness and find him incompetent to continue with the appeals process for his death penalty case, the psychiatrist testified.
A hearing Friday in Gordon County was to review Jones' mental competency before proceeding with his motions for a new trial. District Attorney Joe Campbell said the evaluations were conducted after Jones had several outbursts in prison.
Both Woods and the prosecution's expert witness, psychologist Glen King, evaluated Jones and concluded that he now is incompetent.
But the family of Jones' ex-wife Melissa Peeler said they believe he is faking so he doesn't have to face what he's done.
"He's an animal," said Staline Baker, Peeler's brother. "Is he incompetent? No, he's not."
At the end of the hearing, Gordon County Superior Court Judge Carey Nelson said he will make a decision next week on how to proceed. Jones could be ordered to have another evaluation to decide how he should be treated and if he can regain competency to continue with the appeal process.
Jones pleaded guilty in 2005 to killing Tom and Nola Blaylock, their daughter Georgia May Bradley and Jones' 10-month-old daughter, Jerri.
Police testified Jones killed the family as an act of revenge against Peeler, his common-law wife, who was trying to end the relationship.
Jones shot the Blaylocks, who were Peeler's mother and stepfather, in January 2004. Bradley, who was Peeler's sister, and Jones' daughter were strangled with a cord.
Jones then fled the Ranger, Ga., home while kidnapping three other children, two of them his own. Police chased Jones up Interstate 75 to exit 1 at East Ridge, where he crashed, then shot himself in the face in an unsuccessful suicide attempt. None of the children was harmed.
Jones pleaded guilty in 2008, and a jury sentenced him to death.
At the time, Jones' attorney Jack Martin said he was competent to understand his decision. But on Friday, Martin said Jones has been mentally deteriorating over the years.
"He's just gone off the deep end," Martin said.
During court testimony Friday, Woods testified that Jones said he had spoken to his children while in prison. In court, when Woods said Jones hasn't seen his children in eight years, Jones interrupted.
"That's not true," he mumbled.

Attorneys for Florida A&M University on Wednesday asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the family of a drum major who died last year after being hazed by fellow band members, claiming Robert Champion was a willing participant in the ritual.
University attorney Richard Mitchell said Champion wasn't forced to board a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel where the hazing took place. He was an adult able to make his own decisions at age 26, and he had risen through the ranks of the famed Marching 100 band without taking part in hazing until that fateful night in November 2011, Mitchell said.
Champion's willingness to take part in an illegal act gives the university immunity from the wrongful death lawsuit, Mitchell said.
"Robert Champion knew exactly what he was doing," he said. "If Mr. Champion had not gotten on that bus, he would not have been hazed."
Circuit Judge Walter Komanski didn't immediately issue a ruling.
Champion's parents filed a lawsuit contending university officials did not take action to stop hazing even though a school dean had proposed suspending the Marching 100 band just days before their son died. The lawsuit also alleges that school officials fell short in enforcing anti-hazing policies.
An attorney for Champion's family asked the judge to allow a jury to decide who was responsible for Champion's death.
"A jury needs to decide how to allocate responsibility for the death of Mr. Champion," said lawyer Kenneth Bell. "Please allow that to be heard."
Champion's parents, Robert and Pamela Champion of Decatur, Ga., rejected a $300,000 settlement offer from the university earlier this month. An attorney for the family, Chris Chestnut, said no further talks are taking place.
Ten FAMU band members face felony hazing charges in the case, while two others face misdemeanor counts. They have pleaded not guilty. Hazing that involves bodily harm is a third-degree felony in Florida.
"This is a commonsense case. It's complex but common sense," Chestnut said after the hearing. "There is a clear history of hazing at FAMU."
Champion's parents also are suing the bus company that operated the bus on which the hazing took place, as well as its driver. An attorney for the bus driver said her duty to protect the students ended when she dropped them off at the hotel.
An attorney for the bus company told the judge that Champion's participation relieved them of liability.
"It is not an issue of whether he was a participant in hazing," said Dick Ford, an attorney for Fabulous Coach Lines. "He certainly was a participant in hazing."

President Barack Obama will host his former political rival Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House Thursday, their first meeting since the election.
Obama promised in his victory speech earlier this month to engage with Romney following their bitter campaign and consider the Republican's ideas.
"In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward," Obama said at the time.
Obama aides said they reached out to Romney's team shortly before Thanksgiving to start working on a date for the meeting. The two men will meet in the White House's private dining room, with no press coverage expected.
In the days after his loss, Romney told top donors that the president was re-elected because of the "gifts" Obama provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters, all of which are core Obama constituencies.
"The president's campaign, if you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift," Romney said.
Many Republican officials, eager to move on quickly after the loss, disputed Romney's comments and urged the party to focus on being more inclusive.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama was looking forward to having a "useful discussion" with his former competitor. But he said there was no formal agenda for the lunch.
While in Washington, Romney will also meet with his former running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, according to a Romney campaign aide. Ryan is back on Capitol Hill, where he's involved in negotiations to avert a series of automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts that have come to be known as the "fiscal cliff."
Much of that debate centers on expiring tax cuts first passed by George W. Bush. Obama and Romney differed sharply during the campaign over what to do with the cuts, with the Republican pushing for them to be extended for all income earners and the president running on a pledge to let the cuts expire for families making more than $250,000 a year.
The White House sees Obama's victory as a signal that Americans support his tax proposals.
Obama and Romney's sit-down Thursday will likely be their most extensive private meeting ever. The two men had only a handful of brief exchanges before the 2012 election.
Even after their political fates became intertwined, their interactions were largely confined to the three presidential debates.
Romney has virtually disappeared from politics following his loss in the Nov. 6 election. He's spent the last three weeks largely in seclusion at his family's southern California home. He has made no public appearances, drawing media attention only after being photographed at Disneyland in addition to stops at the movies and the gym with his wife, Ann.
Former aides confirm that Romney is expected to move into an office at the Boston-area venture capital firm Solamere Capital. The firm was founded by his oldest son, Tagg Romney, and Spencer Zwick, who served as his presidential campaign's national finance chairman.
It's unclear what role, if any, Romney will play at the firm. Former aides said Romney was subletting office space from Solamere.

George Zimmerman plans to step up fundraising to pay for his expenses while he awaits trial for fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
The former neighborhood watch leader's attorney said Wednesday that Zimmerman plans to launch the New George Zimmerman Defense Fund next month.
Donors will receive "thank you" cards individually signed by Zimmerman.
Attorney Mark O'Mara said an existing fund has raised $140,000 since last May, but the money it is running a bit low.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and claims the shooting was self-defense under the state's "stand your ground" law.
A trial is set for June, but a "stand your ground hearing" could be held by April.

A spokesman for a rebel group in Congo believed to be backed by neighboring Rwanda confirmed that his fighters have entered Goma and have taken the city's international airport. The assault was punctuated by heavy gunfire.
Col. Vianney Kazarama, spokesman for the M23 rebel movement, told The Associated Press by telephone that the rebels are now fighting for control of the rest of Goma. "We already took the airport," Kazarama said Tuesday. "We are now inside the city of Goma."
Goma was last threatened by rebels in 2008 when fighters stopped just short of the provincial capital. The United Nations has said that if Goma were to fall a humanitarian catastrophe would result. The rebels are opposed by Congolese government forces backed by U.N. peacekeeping troops and their attack helicopters.

A busy morning for Southfield police as they chase a pair of robbery suspects into the city of Detroit.
Investigators say it all started with a retail fraud investigation at the C-V-S in Southfield in what police say they originally thought was a robbery. Southfield police officers say they pursued the two suspects in a white SUV to Pembroke Avenue and Fargo, an area just west of the Southfield freeway.
Two suspects were taken into custody. No one was hurt during the chase.

The sys admin's daily grind: OpenRhineRuhr
Regional Fair
According to Goethe, the best way to gain an education is to travel. Sys admin Charly went to Oberhausen, Germany, for the OpenRhineRuhr fair last week.
I love open Linux fairs – that is, fairs where corporations rub shoulders with clubs, user groups, and other non-commercial exhibitors. The largest fair of this kind in Germany has to be LinuxTag, but some regional fairs try to emulate it. In Oberhausen, about half an hour's drive from where I live, the Rhine Industrial Museum recently provided the exhibition hall for the OpenRhineRuhr fair.

Exposure and Fate Assessment Screening Tool Version 2.0 (E-FAST V2.0)
Provides screening-level estimates of the concentrations of chemicals released to air, surface water, landfills, and from consumer products. E-FAST Version 2 is being designed to support both our new chemicals and existing chemical programs. Estimates provided are potential inhalation, dermal and ingestion dose rates resulting from these releases. Modeled estimates of concentrations and doses are designed to reasonably overestimate exposures, for use in screening level assessment.
How Does E-FAST V2.0 Work?
E-FAST V2.0 calculates appropriate human potential dose rates for a wide variety of chemical exposure routes and estimates the number of days per year that an aquatic ecotoxicological concern concentration will be exceeded for organisms in the water column. Version 2 includes a new entry page where the user enters physical/chemical property and chemical fate information. The user selects the exposure modules that need to be run in E-FAST 2 and this will determine what p-chem and fate information is required. E-FAST 2 also uses the Screen 3 ambient air model to estimate outdoor air exposures. E-FAST 2 will also have the capability of identifying endangered species which could be exposed to environmental releases when site-specific release information is available.
What Do I Need to Use E-FAST V2.0?
To execute the E-FAST V2.0 model in order to assess general population exposure and aquatic environmental exposure and risk resulting from industrial releases, you will need to enter: amount of chemical releases; media of release; days per year of release; certain chemical properties; where possible, detailed release location data; if no detailed location data is available, generic industry codes can be applied. To execute the consumer exposure assessment modules in E-FAST V2.0, the user will need to enter: the type of product; weight fraction; vapor pressure; and molecular weight.
How Are E-FAST V2.0 Data Used?
The program produces a summary sheet with multimedia concentrations from multiple release activities. Risk assessors can use the potential dose estimated by E-FAST V2.0 in assessing potential exposure and risk at a screening level. EPA intends to add an exposure summary report generator to a future version of E-FAST. This would also prompt the user to enter monitoring data and information if available, instead of using model estimates.
What Type of Computer System Do I Need?
An IBM-compatible with Windows® 95 or later, with 32 MB RAM and 85 MB hard disk space, and at a minimum a Pentium processor or equivalent.
What's New?
E-FAST Version 2 is now available. The consumer exposure portions of E-FAST have been peer reviewed by experts outside EPA, and EPA has developed E-FAST V2.0 using the external peer review comments for the general population, down-the-drain, environmental exposure and risks aspects of E-FAST. This model was developed under contract by Versar Inc. for the EPA Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, Economics, Exposure, and Technology Division, Exposure Assessment Branch (EAB).

It was going so well at the Senate debate in Springfield on Wednesday night. It really was.
The moderator was doing this bizarre thing, only asking questions about policy. Elizabeth Warren acknowledged that Scott Brown had cast some good votes, but he wasn't a dependable vote for women and the middle class. Scott Brown looked infinitely improved, saying he didn't want to raise taxes on anyone in these tough times, especially not the vaunted "job creators."

Topic Overview
You may be afraid to resume sexual activity after a heart attack. But it's not true that resuming sex after a heart attack can cause another heart attack, stroke, or sudden death. Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns. But you can resume sexual activity as soon as you feel ready for it.
Several things may discourage you from resuming sexual activity with your partner after a heart attack.
Professional counseling may help you to understand and deal with these feelings.
When you and your partner decide to start having sex again, it might be helpful to keep in mind the following:
If you take nitroglycerin or other nitrates, either regularly or when needed for chest pain, do not use erection-enhancing medicines, such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra). Taking these medicines together can cause a drop in blood pressure, dizziness, and fainting. But experts agree that for men with stable coronary disease who are not taking nitroglycerin, erection-enhancing medicines are safe.
