A Hamilton County poll worker was sentenced on Wednesday for illegal voting.
Melowese Richardson, 58, will spend the next five years behind bars.
Richardson pleaded no contest to four counts of illegal voting in May. An additional four counts were dropped.
The prosecutor's office says Richardson voted twice on her own behalf and seven times on behalf of her relatives in various elections.
Richardson served as a poll worker in Hamilton County for at least 14 years.

Brighten your day with these brilliant orange-red drop earrings. Faceted triangular carnelian gemstones are suspended from three strands of sterling silver chain oval links that lead to a decorative fan shape at the post. Awaken your spirit with the beautiful movement of these twinkling gems. The earrings measure 1-3/4" long x 1/2" wide with post and clutch closures. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
In the garden, the first colorful buds emerge with spring. Blooms unfold, vines curl across the earth, and summer is a bounty of growth. Autumn brings the year's first chill and leaves that flame orange and red. At year's end, filigreed fingers of frost unscroll along window panes and the sky glows with a lovely winter's blue.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Using Google Mobile (search) app v2.03 (14) [788], on Symbian system s60v3.2 on Nokia n79.
Perform search and click on an item in the list of results. Very often the Web browser will start up and instead of displaying referenced page, a warning will pop up-
Web: No Gateway Reply!
If I return to the list of results, and click on the Google cached version of the link, the Web browser WILL display the page properly.
If I then Click on Google's reference to the "current page" in the outer frame of the cached page, it also will then properly display the current page.
This leads me to believe that there is something about the links on the initial Google page of results that the Symbian Web browser cannot deal with.
Any thoughts, suggestions welcomed!
28-03-2012 20:00 - edited 28-03-2012 20:02
I can't say I've been able to come up with an answer to the mystery outlined above, but here's a workaround:
I have used Vlingo to speak my search terms (with Google set in the Vlingo preferences as the search engine). I'm not sure I get exactly the same results as when using the Google Mobile app, but all of the results appear as a list of links directly in the Symbian web browser, and all of them seem to work as expected.
(OT: I understand that I'm using an older phone with an obsolete operating system, but it works fine otherwise, and I'm loath to add it to the ever-inceasing stream of electronic waste unless I really have to.)

Thanks for the suggestion. In my case, the problem is Google Mobile/Symbian web browser-specific. The phone in general can access WLAN connections without any problems. I have tried all possible adjustments to both Google Mobile and Symbian web browser I can think of. I'm pretty sure the problem lies at the Google-server end of things: something about the way the search result links are formatted provides insufficient data to the Symbian web browser. It's strange that going through the cached page version to the current version works (as described above). Nokia s60 users experienced a similar (but not identical) problem in May of 2011, but someone at Google noticed the situation described on the Google Mobile Forum, and had the problem corrected. No such luck this time, I'm afraid. It may be that the s60v2 is getting to be too old for Google to bother with. It's a shame, but at least using Vlingo (or the runaround with the cached pages) there is a workaround.

When I first purchased these sheets I was thrilled! The price was very low and the softness was unbelievable. But after three months of usage, the fitted sheet has ripped from the elastic edge to almost the center of the sheet. I am so disappointed. Want to order another set, but won't due to poor quality.
These sheets are uncomfortable so I couldn't use them. I found the texture of these sheets are rough and scratchy. I washed them three times hoping to break them in but it didn't help so I gave them away. I own much more comfortable Egyptian cotton sheets of the same thread count and paid around the same price (which were also from Overstock). I'm a bit picky about my bed sheets and I would say that these sheets are awful!!
Very soft and comfortable at first. But then after a few nights of sleeping on them they got the little fiber tags all over them--little nubbly things. Tells me its poor quality.
I ordered this set of sheets based on the information listed. Unfortunately it did NOT include that these sheets are single ply Pima Cotton. Don't be fooled. These sheets are soft, but they aren't THAT soft, and they are soooo thin, they won't last as long as other 400 TC sheets do. These sheets wrinkle BADLY. No only in the drier, but on the bed too. The good part is they are without a doubt, the deepest pocket sheets on the market (at this price anyway.) A big disappointment and not the quality I have come to expect from Overstock.
I finally have comfort and can sleep without my sheets ripping off my mattress. These sheets are truly comfortable, soft, deep pockets, and rich in color (purchased black). The sheets are exactly what I was hoping for considering I also purchased a mattress topper (also very comfy). Thanks Overstock, I am sleeping on cloud nine and will order another sheet set once the blue becomes available.
I bought this product because the sheets on my bed would always come off on the corners. This sheet set stays in place on the bed perfectly! No problems! The deep pockets are wonderful and I will be buying more of these sheets soon. They are soft and just overall a good product.
These sheets are extremely comfortable and well worth the wait. We purchased them with a bedding set and are very happy with the results.
The actual quality and feel of the sheets is not what I expected however for the first time ever I found sheets that actually fit our new mattress!!
This is a very nice sheet. It fits our extra deep mattress. The corners stays on.
We were looking for sheets that would fit an over-sized King mattress with a 4 inch mattress topper. These worked out great and were exactly as described.

Greensburg —
Last week, Greensburg Mayor Gary Herbert made a proclamation that May 19 to 25 would be EMS appreciation week in Decatur County, in conjunction with national EMS appreciation week.
When a life is on the line after an accident or illness, the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is who shows up to help.
Be it a car accident, a fire, flood, or some other disaster, EMS workers have saved thousands upon thousands of lives.
It's been said that it takes a special person to put their personal welfare aside and run toward disaster in the hopes of saving a life, rather than away from it in fear. Nationwide, communities are going out of their way to show appreciation to the brave men and women that staff local EMS crews.
In Decatur County, Doug Banks is the Director of Emergency Services from Decatur County Memorial Hospital, with a staff of 30 members. He oversees three crews, who work 24-hour shifts every third day in teams of six, responding to emergencies throughout the county. He said that EMS appreciation week is nice for the workers because it opens the public's eyes as to what they do and why they do it. He went on to say that it was not a thankless job, but he and other EMS workers enjoy letting the public see what the job means to them.
This year, the helicopter service that serves the area visited Tuesday and brought a hot meal to the EMS workers. Over the next three days, the County Fire Association will be feeding all three shifts of workers to show their appreciation for all the Decatur County EMS crews do.
Banks recently received a call from a woman he and his crew helped save and he said the call meant a lot to him. Rarely do EMS workers get to hear about how the people they've helped are doing. HIPAA laws prevent them from calling to check up on patients, so after they leave the ambulance, it's usually the last EMS workers hear of them. Banks stated that hearing from people after they've recovered can easily make an EMS crew member's day. "Knowing our training and actions have made a difference is a wonderful thing for them to hear, especially during a rough day," Banks said.
Many Decatur County residents have a story about how an EMS crew member saved their life or responded during a moment of crisis. Banks said the best way to show appreciation this week would be to call and tell them how things turned out.
They can't check on patients without breaking confidentiality laws, but EMS workers genuinely care about the outcomes for the people they assist.
Banks said that several years ago, a crew he was on saved a man who was gravely injured in an accident to the point where EMS workers weren't sure he would survive. After delivering the injured man to the hospital, workers were sure that they would never see him again, even if he did make it. They returned to their jobs, only able to dedicate a passing thought to the injured man as they continued their efforts to save others.
Several weeks later, the man came to visit the EMS headquarters to thank the crew. EMS workers didn't recognize him because they see so many faces, but as soon as he described his accident, the crew knew exactly who he was.
Workers were shocked to see him recovered and walking, but they were far more elated. Knowing that he not only survived but was thriving was wonderful news for the crew, which happened to be the same one that had responded to his emergency. In this case, EMS workers were able to see firsthand the result of their training and actions - the continued life of a man who otherwise would likely not have lived.
Banks said the crews he oversees have constant training to keep up to date with advancements in medical technology. Recently, the Decatur County EMS was able to purchase portable heart monitors that allow ambulances to transmit signals from the ambulances to the emergency room. This allows the hospital to prepare for patients before their arrival and helps tremendously with treatment, both in the field and at the hospital, because of the improved communication. The new addition should help save many people and increase their chances of recovery after an emergency.
While most people don't think about EMS crews until they are needed, the crews are always thinking of ways to improve response time and effectiveness to better aid the communities they serve. During this week of appreciation, if you've got a story of how you were helped by an EMS crew, take a moment to give them a call or send a letter to let them know how you are recovering from your emergency. Banks said knowing his actions and those of his dedicated staff have made a difference in someone's life is the best thanks they can get.

People line up for those Swedish meatballs at College Park's IKEA each Sunday, but a new finding may deter those lines.
Traces of horse meat have been found in some of the frozen meatballs distributed by furniture giant IKEA, USA Today reports.
An IKEA spokesperson told the paper that the meatballs were distributed to several countries in Europe and were taken off the shelves. Shipments of the meatballs to the United States were not affected.
"Our global recommendation is to not recall or stop selling meatballs," said IKEA spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson.
IKEA has Maryland locations in College Park and Baltimore.

Republicans have not found much to like about President Barack Obama's nearly six years in office, but the results of a new Washington Post-ABC News poll show that a vast majority support the president's decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq.
U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered 130 new military advisors to deploy to Iraq, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Tuesday at Camp Pendleton, California. Speaking to Marines and sailors at the base, Hagel said the new troops are in Iraq to assess and advise. They join about 450 other American troops in the country.

PEORIA, Ill. -- It's been more than 24 hours since family members first reported the disappearance of an elderly Peoria man in the late stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Since then, authorities have been searching around the clock, the freezing temperatures making their efforts all the more urgent.
Around 2 p.m. yesterday, 73-year-old John Garrett laid down for a nap, so his wife and caretaker, Bev, did the same.
She woke up 15 minutes later, only to find John was gone.
Monday evening, the search stretches from the woods-filled Sommer Park-- near the couple's north Peoria home-- all the way to McLean county.
John's son Scott Garrett said there have been a few reported sightings, giving the family hope his father is alive.
"You know, my dad has Alzheimer's, but my mom keeps him fairly fit," said Garrett. "She makes him walk all the time. So you wouldn't think about it, but he's fast. It's one of those things, they want to go home to their childhood home, and that's what he thinks about."
Authorities are searching the area of that childhood home in Peoria.
Scott Garrett added authorities planned to call off the foot search Monday night at dusk and regroup Tuesday.
In the meantime, if you see John Garrett you are asked to call Peoria County authorities by dialing 911.

The photos respresent many scenes from shorelines around the world with emphasis on the coastline of Jekyll Island, part of the lands designated as Georgia's Golden Islands Chain.
Acerca del autorCharles B. Gillespie, M.D.
CBG911 Albany, Georgia
During my medical practice, I had the opportunity to travel extensively seeking to advance my medical knowledge. In most instances, I added extra days to my trips for the purpose of making photographs of the places I visited. My current portfolio consists of ~600,000 images from 63 countries on a wide range of subjects. I especially like to take photos of transportation equipment, curved roads, fences, churches, farming operations and other natural parts of the world. I have received training in the studios of Ansel Adams, DeWitt Jones (Maine Photography School), Rocky Mountain School of Photography and the late photographer Bill Thomas.

Top 6-Year CD Rate at INOVA FCU in IN, CA & NC - Easy Membership
The 5-year CD rate has fallen since my last post on INOVA Federal Credit Union. However, the credit union is still listing the same competitive rate for the 6-year CD of 3.05% APY. The 5-year CD rate is no longer competitive with a 2.00% APY. The shorter terms are even less competitive. The rates are 10 basis points higher for IRA CDs. Minimum deposit is $200. In my last post, a reader commented that the early withdrawal penalty is 180 days of interest for CDs with terms over a year. These rates are listed on the credit union's certificates page as of 1/30/2011.
This 6-year CD rate is better than PenFed's 3.00% APY 7-year CD which is the best 7-year CD that's nationally available.
The credit union also offers a reward checking account called Ovation Checking that is still paying 4.00% APY on balances up to $20K (rate is listed in the online application). My first report on this account was in April 2010.
Membership and Online Application
Credit union membership is primarily based on employment or membership in one of many organizations. Refer to the credit union's become-a-member page for more details. On the front page there's a "Join INOVA" link at the top left of the page. This link takes you to an online application provided by loanspq.com. One of the options for eligibility listed in this application includes:
You may elect to join one of the approved not for profit organizations such as Cass County Conservation Club or the Elkhart River Restoration Association.
The online application allows you to select any of the CDs. You are also required to open a savings account with a minimum balance of $5.
Credit Union Overview
Branches are located in the Indiana cities of Elkhart, Michigan City, Mishawaka and Granger. Other branches are located in Berkeley, California; and Clayton, North Carolina. It's also part of the Credit Union Service Center which allows you to perform basic transactions at branches of other credit unions around the nation.
The reason the credit union has branches scattered across the country is due to it being originally chartered to serve the employees of Miles Laboratories which had facilities in these cities. The credit union used to have branches in other states, but it appears those have been closed.
The credit union has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 3 out of 5 with a Texas Ratio of 28.34% (above average) based on September 2010 data. Please refer to our financial overview of INOVA Federal Credit Union for more details. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 4968).

Shaft weight
Dave Hohnke
If you will look closely at what the guys are doing with shafts from driver to irons you will see a progression of weight from the driver down. This same thing is what Mark Timms noticed at Hott Stixx and started prescribing for player going through his shop. If you have players asking about shaft choices be sure to get them into the right weight before changing the flex. Smiles, Dave

Fischer will not support pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants
U.S. Senator Deb Fischer says she cannot support an immigration reform proposal that has a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. A bi-partisan immigration reform proposal from a group of eight Senators and President Obama's proposal both include a method for the undocumented immigrants to meet certain requirements to be citizens.
Fischer says while she is reserving judgement until she sees legislative language, she made it clear to reporters during her weekly conference call she cannot support a pathway to citizenship for people illegally in the country.
Fischer said, "We have a country that always supports the rule of law. Until we have undocumented immigrants stepping forward, we don't know who is in this country."
Fischer added." nce we start that process of some kind of legal status to have people in the country, we are going to have to deport people who are criminals."
Fischer said she was pleased the proposals do stress border security as one of their chief priorities.

Andrea Ruth was 12 years old when she died on November 24, 2012. According to the Shelby County District Attorney's Office, Ruth suffered from asthma, hypertension and obesity, and had a "medically fragile state" which was allegedly ignored.
Prosecutors say that gangrene on her legs had gotten so bad that she was scheduled to have them both amputated in May 2011, but her family missed the appointment and subsequent follow ups. Prosecutors say at the time of her death, the girl's sores had advances to the point that they could see the bones in her toes.
Andrea's father, Errol Johnson, 42, was indicted on charges of first-degree murder in the perpetration of aggravated child neglect. He is locked up in Shelby County Jail without bond.
Certified nursing assistant and in-home nurse Chasara Jones, 41, was also indicted on charges of first-degree murder in the perpetration of aggravated child neglect. She is also locked up in the Shelby County Jail without bond.
Investigators say Chasara told them she knew about the child's condition but did not alert her employer, police, or Department of Children's Services.
"Anytime a child dies in our community, it's one too many," said Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich. "They're our most valuable and vulnerable resource and we all have a duty to keep them safe."
A Shelby County Grand Jury indicted the girl's mother, who has been arrested and is in custody in Louisiana.
"Not only do parents of course have a duty to take care of their children, every adult in the state of Tennessee has a duty under the law to report if you so much as suspect that a child is being physically or sexually abused," added Weirich.
The family had re-located to the Mid-South after Hurricane Katrina.
Action News 5 interviewed Errol Johnson, his wife, Raven Ruth, and their two children on April 17, 2006 to get their reaction to a New Orleans mayoral debate. The family went home to Louisiana to bury Andrea, but her father, Johnson, remained in Memphis.

Speeders reduced to tears as pupils give them a telling off
11:58am Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News By Stephanie Cureton
SPEEDING drivers were reduced to tears as they were grilled by Wirral pupils about their actions.
The drivers were caught breaking the speed limit outside Black Horse Hill Junior School, West Kirby, and were given the choice of getting a fine and penalty points or going before a special 'kids' court.'
The scheme, run by Wirral Council and Merseyside Police on Monday, saw 24 motorists being stopped for exceeding 37mph in a 30mph area.
And after being quizzed by the youngsters, the majority of the drivers said they felt "embarrassed" and "humbled" by their experience.
The children asked them how they would have reacted if a pupil had run out in front of their car while they travelling at that speed, with one driver answering they "felt sick inside."
Councillor Harry Smith, cabinet member for streetscene and transport, said the pupils managed to get the message across the to the motorists.
He said: "I was very impressed by the way the children approached the subject, they showed maturity well above their age and were a credit to their school. They are wonderful advocates for young children who really care about their environment and road safety.
"Most of those stopped said they were going so fast as they were 'running late' but the children made them realise that even a small increase in speed can have devastating consequences. The harsh reality is that if you hit a child at 30mph, there is an 80% chance they will live, if you hit them at 40mph there is an 80% chance they will die.
"The overwhelming message from the children was a simple one: if we want to improve the safety and quality of life of children using roads in our communities, we need to drive at a speed appropriate to the environment."
And chief superintendent John Martin, area commander for Wirral, hopes the kids' court will go some way to highlighting the impacts of speeding on roads.
He said: "Merseyside Police is committed to making our roads safer for everyone and regularly stage road policing campaigns to educate drivers as well as to prosecute those who flout driving laws.
"We know that speeding is a significant contributory factor in road traffic collisions and we welcome initiatives that reinforce the message that speed kills, especially as the darker nights are now upon us and the weather is continuing to deteriorate.
"We hope this impactive experience of being told the consequences of their actions by children will drive home the message that motorists must reduce their speeds in a way that receiving a fine cannot and that this in turn will make our roads safer for both drivers and pedestrians."

Spiffy says...
Not saying motorists shouldn't be punished for breaking the law....of course they should...but the right and proper place for that is in a court of law run by adults.
What the hell kind of message is this to be giving children who will NEVER be put through anything like this by any adult...precisely because they are a child...due to extensive protections and rights.
Shame on the adults in authority for sanctioning and condoning this. Stop using children as human shields/weapons and get on with the job you are paid to do.

This is an article I published in the Philadelphia Lawyer, p. 20 (Fall 1997) (PDF), about the now-defunct Multilateral Agreement on Investment, or MAI. At the time I was in favor of it and somewhat naively optimistic that a fairly universal pro-private property rights agreement might be adopted. Sigh.
For more background on related matters, see my book International Investment, Political Risk, and Dispute Resolution: A Practitioner's Guide (Oxford University Press, 2005) and my Online Appendix XVII, "Online Resources".
The Re-emerging International Framework for Protection of Investment
By Stephan Kinsella1
(version submitted to The Philadelphia Lawyer, September 1997 issue)
We'll take and take until not even the nails in their shoes are left. We will take American investments penny by penny until nothing is left.
—Fidel Castro, 19602
Less than seventy-five years after it officially began, the contest between capitalism and socialism is over: capitalism has won.
—Robert Heilbroner, 19893
American entrepreneurs are, by and large, used to operating within a relatively fixed and predictable background of overarching state and federal laws. If something goes wrong with a business transaction—e.g., one party breaches a contract or intentionally defrauds or harms another—the wronged party that he can very likely resolve the matter in some court, according to some applicable law, whether federal or state.
Similarly, if an investor's property rights are damaged or otherwise taken by the government, the investor can obtain redress, typically in the form of compensation, in court. In the West, though protection of property rights is far from perfect, it is largely taken for granted that the government is constitutionally prohibited from taking one's property (including investments) without due process and just compensation. Thus, trade and investment flourish in western countries, since both contractual and property rights and protected.
International trade, and investment in foreign countries (known as foreign direct investment), require protection as well. With respect to foreign trade—for example, trade between an American company and a foreign company—the parties cannot simply assume that they are both subject to jurisdiction in the courts of the same nation. Despite this seeming difficulty, however, foreign trade has been able to thrive since disputes can be settled, and contracts enforced, even between parties of different nations. This has long been possible with the international Law Merchant, in which disputes between merchants of different countries are settled in neutral, largely private arbitration proceedings.
Today, for example, private arbitration is frequently conducted in accordance with the rules of the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), or the American Arbitration Association (AAA). In addition, dispute resolution and other aspects of foreign trade are buttressed to some extent by the foreign trade framework established by multilateral agreements such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and its successor, the World Trade Organization (WTO). Thus, private parties have been and continue to be able to rely on and enforce the contracts necessary for foreign trade.
Foreign direct investment is another matter. Companies investing in other countries are not able to rely on private measures such as arbitration agreements to ensure that the host state (the state hosting foreign investment) does not interfere with investments. States have sovereignty over property within their territory, and thus foreign investment is always subject to the threat of expropriation by the host state. Investing in foreign regimes is thus said to be subject to "political risk," especially in those states with a history of hostility to capitalism and property rights, such as the former communist states and other developing economies.

- Robert Heilbroner, "The Triumph of Capitalism," The New Yorker, Jan. 23, 1989, p. 98. The superiority of capitalism over socialism had been rigorously proved back in 1920 by the great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises. See Ludwig von Mises, Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth (1990) (1920); see also Ludwig von Mises, Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis (J. Kahane trans., 3d rev'd ed. 1981) (1922). Mises's ideas were initially thought to have been refuted by socialist economists, in what is known as the "socialist calculation debate." The false conclusion that the socialists won the debate by disproving Mises's claims was perpetuated in the following decades by economists such as Heilbroner. See, e.g., Robert Heilbroner, Between Capitalism and Socialism (1970), pp. 88-93, in which Heilbroner claimed that Mises was wrong, that socialist economic calculation was possible, and that the "superior performance" of socialism would "soon reveal the outmoded inadequacy of a free enterprise economy." Despite decades of unjust and unfortunate neglect, Mises has finally been vindicated by the universally acknowledged failure of socialism as a viable economic system. See Gertrude E. Schroeder, "The Dismal Fate of Soviet-Type Economies: Mises Was Right," Cato J., v. 11, no. 1 (Spring/Summer 1991), p. 13; "Labor Party leader flips on policy," Philadelphia Inquirer, Apr. 8, 1997, p. A2 (describing the British Labor Party's endorsement of privatization of state-owned enterprises and recent elimination of a Marxist clause in its constitution advocating common ownership of the means of production). Even Heilbroner now admits: "It turns out, of course, that Mises was right." Robert Heilbroner, "After Communism," The New Yorker, Sept. 10, 1990, p. 91, 92. See also Mark Skousen, "'Just because socialism has lost does not meant that capitalism has won': Interview with Robert L. Heilbroner," Forbes, May 27, 1991, p. 130. For further discussion of the socialist calculation debate, see Murray N. Rothbard, "The End of Socialism and the Calculation Debate Revisited," 5 Rev. Austrian Econ. 51 (1991); Don Lavoie, Rivalry and Central Planning: The Socialist Calculation Debate Reconsidered (1985); David Ramsay Steele, From Marx to Mises: Post-Capitalist Society and the Challenge of Economic Calculation (1992).

A car that crashed into a utility pole in West Philadelphia's Overbrook section early Sunday morning cut power to more than 1,800 customers.
"I see fire come. Boom! I hear another one Boom!" said resident Henre Bouzy
Those booms were the result of a black Chevy Tahoe that crashed into Bouzy's duplex at the corner of 64th and Jefferson around 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police say the driver of the SUV got out of the car and ran away after the vehicle reportedly sideswiped several cars and took down a utility pole.
The driver abandoned his friend, Dennis Wright, who was in the passenger seat.
" I just wanted to go home. The guy said he'd take me home and somehow we ended up here," Wright said, referring to the crash. I really don't remember much."
Wright says he was sleeping in the passenger seat for the wild ride that left him with a brace on his leg and clearing his belongings out of his wrecked vehicle.
He told us he and a friend were out partying last night near Center City.
When he had too much to drink, Wright says he turned the keys of his SUV over to his friend.
"He had a little bit to drink, but he didn't seem like he was that out of it like that. I figured he'd be alright enough to take me home. If that was the case I could have drove myself. It's crazy."
Wright didn't identify his friend but said he wants to figure out why he ran.
PECO says power has been restored to all of the customers impacted by the outage.

Four of Nebraska's five U.S. lawmakers made their way to the State Capitol on Monday as part of a Humanities Nebraska Forum.
Congressmen Lee Terry, Jeff Fortenberry, Adrian Smith and Senator Mike Johanns all answered questions from high school students on everything form abortion to gun control to the current budget.
The Senate passed a $3.7 Trillion budget for the first time in four years on Friday night, but it did not receive the approval of Sen. Johanns.
"The majority budget is just a terrible piece of policy," the senator said.
The budget is not binding and simply serves as a blueprint for 2014.
"It's a budget the country doesn't need, doesn't want and would be devastating for our economic future." Sen. Johanns said.
The other hot topic as Congress takes its two-week break, gun control.
Last week, the democratic senate agreed to remove the assault weapons ban from the proposed legislation. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll shows 91-percent of Americans favoring more extensive background checks.
"These ideas shouldn't be controversial, they're common sense," President Obama said Monday in his weekly address.
But Sen. Johanns disagrees.
"People have the right to bear arms, to me it's that straight forward. We should not be taking away or picking at that right," the senator said.
Congress is slated to go back to work on April 6th.

Is it safe to eat baked potatoes when they have a hint of green in the skins? —L.P., Cleveland, Ohio
It's best not to. The green tint comes from high levels of solanine, which can be toxic when eaten in quantity.
Although it is unlikely that enough solanine would be consumed to cause harm, it is best to peel or cut off the green portion before eating the potato.

Ten stories. One question. What do you do when the life you knew becomes the Before?
A college student working at a beer drive-through falls in love with the owner's wife and contemplates murder to claim her until he faces his own brush with death. A man who has kept his sexuality a secret from his family must come home to help his brother cope with the loss of his wife. A woman reunites with a man she loved in her youth, and reluctantly saves the life of the teenaged girl next door. A camera store clerk with hidden photographs meets his new neighbor, who has her own secrets. And a soap opera writer struggles to extricate her love life from the familiar formulas.
The men and women we meet in Stories from the Afterlife have only recently stumbled, due to choice or circumstance, into the unfamiliar territory of their new lives. We encounter them in Florida resort towns, 1950's rural North Carolina, 1980's rustbelt Ohio and in the suburban sheen of the New South, where they wrestle with secret aspirations, drunken confessions, dreamed predictions, and love—lost or regained. We're with them all the way.
Published previously in the country's finest literary magazines, including Crazyhorse, One Story, and Verb, these stories build a powerful collection that you won't want to miss.
Excerpt from "Five-Minute Man" first published in The Indiana Review
Charlie used a Pentax K1000 from his photography major days, nothing fancy. He took shots around town and on the beach, usually as candid as possible, using a telephoto. He'd heard about photographers getting discovered, one guy for his shots of the passengers on public busses, and some New York cabbie for cityscapes shot out his window while hauling fares. He imagined the photographers themselves in the grainy black-and-white film they favored, and their faces were serious, hollow-cheeked, sad-eyed, as if their subjects had shot into them through their lenses and not the other way around. Charlie couldn't match up to this. He had the sad part down, that was pretty certain, but he was too round-faced and fair to pull off the city darkness that got those other guys into white-walled galleries with people milling around in black, possibly to create negative space, drinking cheap wine and bidding on the latest hard, incisive glimpse of humanity.
His photos were all in color. He looked for shots that swirled in it, the brighter the better. He shot old women in turquoise flip-flops and red muumuus feeling up mangoes at Henson's market, which had been at the base of the bridge leading off the Key for as long as he could remember. He shot kids in their bathing suits and too-big hats building sand castles with bright plastic tools you could get at Henson's, too—a yellow shovel, blue bucket, red rake, a couple of green forms to mold patterns in the wet sand, all caught up in a white mesh basket and selling for $4.99. He liked the Hispanic kids best, whose families came mostly in the summer during the off season, because their skin glowed coppery against their bright towels and suits. He shot just-gutted salmon at the fish house down the road, the flesh pink and shiny against the dark scales and blood-stained ice it came packed in off the boats. When he developed the pictures, he wanted to spread the color over himself the way he'd smeared the glowing innards of lightening bugs on his arms one summer at boy scout camp in Georgia because the other kids were doing it; except when he thought of that he now felt a guilty ache, a tenderness in the gut. He wanted to be lifted by that color, filled with it like a cartoon in a fresh coloring book, transformed.
And yes, he liked to shoot women, too, but he was picky. Sometimes the mothers of children he found on the beach. Sometimes groups of girls. Behind the camera he could appraise them, could decide if they were worth the shot, whereas if he'd somehow figured out a way to strike up a conversation with them, he would feel desperate, not sure how to keep their attention, dimly aware of not wanting to appear desperate but unable to stop the eventual glances women shared with each other when signaling a retreat. He'd seen similar stuff on the Nature Channel, when zebras or giraffes eye-balled each other upon sniffing a hyena, whose advance the quiet voice of the announcer calmly described. Except women generally didn't see him as a hyena to be feared, he was pretty sure; it was more along the lines of pity, dismissal. The female gazelles cut a wide swath around the dying rhinoceros. But the women he photographed didn't have the opportunity to react to him in this way; most never even saw him. And they were all different. Most guys he knew were attracted to one feature in women, typically the size or shape of breasts or asses. Charlie liked both, to be sure, but it was something in the whole line of the woman that had to catch his eye. He tried to find a pattern, looking through the women in his shots, but they were short and tall; fair and dark, long-haired and short-haired, petite and heavy. Perhaps it was in the way they held themselves, call it grace, or certainty.
Showing these shots to anyone he knew was out of the question. Stu and Rick would probably make fun of him, particularly for the shots of the women. He'd thought about showing them to his sister, but she didn't come home often, usually not unless she was in desperate need of money. He really thought a woman would be the better judge of them. There were a few female professional photographers who had their film developed at Camera Town—Stu made fun of them as soon as he saw them pull up in their minivans. "Wedding and portrait photography—the girl's sport," he'd say. But when they came in he talked with the seriousness of a psychologist with them about how they wanted their shots developed. The women knew their stuff, but it didn't matter. They would never have respect in Camera Town, with their sisters stacked next to Stu's light table, spreading their legs and smiling for free—and that's the thing about a photograph, Charlie wanted to tell those women, your smile is just as good for us as it is for your lover. The camera makes no distinction.

Beggars can't be choosers, but at least Penn State found its offense in the first half. By the time the first 30 minutes of the Nitany Lions' matchup with Northwestern had past, Penn State had already rolled up 34 points. Sure, the Wildcats trailed by just 10, 34-24, but we all should've been grateful for the offensive explosion, all things considered.
And then it just stopped. In the second half, Penn State and Northwestern combined for seven points -- scored by the Nitany Lions in the third quarter. As quickly as the bout of scoring came, it went.
Matt McGloin threw for 192 yards and a touchdown in the win, but Penn State did much of its damage on the ground. Silas Redd rushed for a game-high 164 yards and a touchdown to lead the way, with Stephfon Green also adding a score.
Dan Persa threw for 294 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a losing effort for Northwestern. Kain Colter -- awesome football name -- and Persa also scored rushing touchdowns. And just for fun, Persa threw a touchdown pass to Colter.

Spirit Airlines has
announced it is adding routes from Fort Myers to
three new cities- Boston,
Dallas/Fort Worth and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
The seasonal flights will
begin November 8, 2012 and will run through April 24, 2013.
Spirit currently has routes
to Atlantic City, Chicago
and Detroit.
The Boston and Minneapolis-St. Paul routes will
fly daily. The Dallas/Fort Worth flights will be on Tuesday
Thursday and Sunday.
All of the new flights are
"In an
industry that is facing a lot of talk about consolidation and reduction in
capacity we're looking forward to putting some of that capacity back in, in
markets that really have the demand for it," said Spirit Air representative
But overall demand at
RSW has been down. So far this year, the airport has seen about six-percent
fewer travelers.
Because of that, the
credit rating firm Fitch Ratings has put out a warning that the airport could
be dropped from its A rating.
So what does that mean?
According to analysts
with the firm, the airport would be a higher risk investment and would have to
pay more to borrow money.
But in the airport,
passengers shouldn't see much of difference. And the addition of new flights
will hopefully, help to get more people through this building.
