SAN ANTONIO - A San Antonio woman who made a video recording as she sexually abused a 6 year old little girl was sentenced to 15 years in prison Thursday according to the terms of a plea bargain agreement.
"I think a cap of 15 years is an unbelievable plea bargain that I will regretfully follow," Judge Angus McGinty said as he sentenced Kristen Lea Bush.
Bush, 30, admitting recording the abuse on her cell phone and then sending it to a man she said she had once dated.
Explaining her action to McGinty, Bush said "I've always been a very co-dependent person and I let it get to me and break me down as I lost everything I had."
McGinty said she recently lost her job and her husband left her.
"Losing your job and your husband walking out on you doesn't justify in any way, shape, or form what happened," McGinty told Bush.
Bush and the child's father asked McGinty to give the woman probation instead of prison time.
"I take full responsibility for everything I did," Bush told McGinty. "But I don't think TDC will benefit anybody in this case."
McGinty disagreed as he sentenced Bush.
"Miss Bush mentioned one thing that TDC wouldn't benefit anyone. I disagree with you Miss Bush," McGinty said. "It would benefit society."

Marvel Month in (P)Review: September/October 2008A column article, Comics Bulletin Soapbox by: David Wallace
Marvel Month in (P)review highlights the Marvel Comics' month that was and previews the Marvel Comics' month that will be. This month's column features previews of Astonishing X-Men #27, Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes, Daredevil #112, and Invincible Iron Man #6!
Duane Swierczynski is only two issues into his tenure on the regular Immortal Iron Fist title, and at the moment the jury is still out on whether his run on the book is going to measure up to the high standards established by his predecessors. However, September's one-shot issue, Orson Randall and the Death Queen of California has gone a long way to allay my concerns, as the writer effortlessly succeeds in capturing the voice of Matt Fraction and Ed Brubaker's wonderful pulp creation, Orson Randall - the previous Iron Fist.
Set in 1920s Hollywood, Swierczynski's story provides a perfect mix of retro glamour and mystical superheroics, with a few noir tropes thrown in for good measure. Randall has already proved himself to be a hugely versatile hero whose exploits could easily support a dedicated solo series, but in the meantime, I'll settle for the occasional one-shot - especially if they're as much fun as this.
This issue of Fantastic Four finally gave us some answers about the mysterious New Defenders, showing what motivates their apparent ruthlessness and villainy, and explaining the previous issue's cliffhanger (and the presence of Galactus in the story) quite convincingly. Millar provides some enjoyable big ideas, and Hitch serves up some highly detailed and dynamic artwork that's every bit as good as his work on Ultimates.
It's also becoming apparent just how intractably connected this story arc is with the previous one, and I'm really starting to get the feeling that Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's Fantastic Four is eventually going to stand as more than the sum of its parts. After a slightly underwhelming start to their run, I'm glad I stuck with it.
Sub-Mariner: The Depths continues to be an engaging psychological horror story, set outside of regular Marvel continuity, with writer Peter Milligan creating a compelling atmosphere of paranoia as a dedicated scientist begins to suspect the existence of the creature known as Namor. Some readers may be dismayed that Namor himself barely appears (for the second issue in a row, no less), but this is definitely a case of less being more, as Milligan cannily keeps the titular character out of the spotlight, deriving horror from the implication of his presence rather than showing him explicitly (in the vein of similar thrillers such as Alien and The Abyss).
Esad Ribic again provides stunning artwork, constrained only by the lack of variety that Milligan's story offers. Still, this issue's cliffhanger suggests that the story may move into more fantastical realms soon. Either way, I'll be interested to see where it goes.
"New Ways To Die" continued in September, with three more issues of conflict between Spidey and the Thunderbolts bringing the storyline close to its ultimate conclusion. Whilst it's been a fun reworking of the classic Sinister Six concept, so much emphasis has been placed on Spidey's secret-identity woes and the machinations of Norman Osborn and Eddie Brock (both now oblivious that Peter is Spider-Man) - not to mention the resurrected Harry Osborn - that the shadow of "One More Day" sadly still hangs over the book to a large extent.
John Romita Jr.'s artwork has been predictably great, and Dan Slott's writing has been smart and fun, but there's still something that feels wrong about the rebooted Spider-Man, and I'm wondering whether I'll be motivated to keep following his adventures after this story wraps up in October.
Marvel Apes isn't going to win any Eisner awards, but this fun opening issue set out its stall pretty effectively, crafting an endearingly silly and pun-ridden story about an alternative Marvel Universe that's populated by simian counterparts of well-known Marvel heroes. There were hints of darkness and greater complexity, but by and large this was the definition of forgettable, fluffy entertainment. And it didn't have pretensions of being anything else.
This extra-sized one-shot story, entitled "Roar", is the second book by Duane Swierczynski to appear on my list this month (so the guy must be doing something right). "Roar" is everything a good Wolverine story should be, kicking off with a lonesome Logan walking the earth in search of a beer only to be drawn into a battle with a werewolf-like monster that has tormented the populace of a small town, deafening them with its scream.
The story turns out to be far more supernatural and morally complex than it first appeared, and Mike Deodato Jr. provides art that proves what a strong fit he is for the character, which bodes well for his forthcoming run on Wolverine: Origins. I'd like to see more of these kinds of one-shot stories - especially if Swierczynski is writing them. His work on the aforementioned Immortal Iron Fist: Orson Randall and the Death Queen of California and the Punisher: Force of Nature one-shot from earlier this year has proved that he has a real aptitude for the format.
I wouldn't usually focus on a compilation issue as something to look out for, but I think that these "saga" issues are worth highlighting as one of the best ideas that Marvel has come up with in quite a while: a free (yes, free) comic that recaps key events that lead up to a high-profile forthcoming storyline or miniseries, with excerpts of artwork and chunks of text that summarise dozens of issues of past stories to get you up-to-date with the current status quo.
Previous issues have provided a potted history of the Ultimates, the Astonishing X-Men, and the Skrull invasion of Earth, and this latest release focuses on the build-up to Jeph Loeb and David Finch's Ultimatum event, which kicks off in November. I might be a little wary of the book itself (have any of Loeb's recent Marvel books been worth reading?), but I can't deny that this is a solid way to get new readers up to speed - and to refresh the memories of those of us who have been following the Ultimate Universe since its inception.
Daredevil #111 surprised a lot of readers with a very strong start to the "Lady Bullseye" arc, in an issue that saw the introduction of Daredevil's newest enemy at the same time as Matt Murdock's relationship with one of his closest allies became a lot more complicated. I can't wait to see how both plot strands progress in issue #112: in the meantime, here are some preview pages which show Michael Lark make his triumphant return to the book (after last issue's fill-in by the more than competent Clay Mann).
If and when Lark leaves Daredevil, I'd love to see him tackle Immortal Iron Fist for a while, on the strength of these pages.
Amazing Spider-Man #573 is a noteworthy issue for more than one reason. Firstly, it's the final chapter of the much-hyped "New Ways to Die" storyline, and a lot of readers will be hoping for a lot of answers from this conclusion. Will we find out the secret behind the mysterious Menace? Will Mac Gargan remain as Venom for the foreseeable future? Will anyone discover Spidey's secret identity? It's impossible to say for sure, but on the strength of previous issues, it's sure to be a fun read that also looks great, thanks to John Romita Jr.'s fantastic pencils.
The second reason that this issue is a significant one, however, is due to the appearance of Stephen Colbert (in a back-up story by Mark Waid). I might be one of the few readers of this title who isn't familiar with Colbert (his show isn't broadcast in the UK), so I'll be interested to see whether Waid can make the story fun beyond the novelty of a celebrity appearance. After all, we know how well the Jay Leno "One Night Only" story from a few years ago turned out...
Another issue of Warren Ellis and Simone Bianchi's Astonishing X-Men is always cause for celebration, and as someone who has greatly enjoyed their first couple of issues, I'm keen to see how the "Ghost Box" story will continue. These preview pages suggest that Bianchi has retained his ability to provide gorgeous, lush images coupled with unique, innovative layouts, and I can't wait to see what Ellis has in store for his intriguing sci-fi storyline.
However, this month we're in for a real treat, as we also get the first of two planned tie-in issues to the "Ghost Box" storyline, with art by several A-list artists (including Adi Granov and Alan Davis). Granov's art looks particularly stunning, evoking a strong Steampunk vibe with his retro renditions of the team: I love his begoggled Wolverine, and his redesign of the X-Men's Blackbird. I'll be intrigued to see what it all means.
Paul Cornell's Captain Britain and MI:13 is a book that has benefited from the added attention that the Secret Invasion crossover brought to its opening arc, but which feels like it will really hit its stride now that the Skrull-related shenanigans are out of the way. After taking a breather with the prologue issue #5, issue #6 is the first issue proper of "Hell Comes to Birmingham", an arc which will see the forces of darkness descend on my home town of Birmingham (but will we notice...?).
As if the presence of Blade wasn't enough to shake up the book, this arc promises a starring role for the Brummie Captain Midlands, one of the standout characters from Cornell's Wisdom miniseries. I can't wait.
The final issue of Ultimate Origins arrives in October, concluding Brian Bendis' secret history of the Ultimate Universe and leading into the upcoming Ultimatum crossover. Whilst the series has been at best uneven, I still can't deny that I'm interested to see what form the Ultimate version of the Watcher will take, and whether Bendis can eventually spin all of his many disparate plot threads into a compelling single story.
Criminal is a book that deserves more attention than it's currently getting. After turning in two very compelling noir stories with the first volume of the title, this relaunched series has further improved on Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' winning formula, following up an intricate and highly satisfying trilogy of connected one-shot stories with an equally intriguing full-length story arc, "Bad Night."
This third issue of the storyline picks up the story threads from a second chapter that saw our reluctant hero get embroiled in a doomed criminal enterprise, with subtle hints at a dark psychological twist that might make this story even more complex and interesting than it currently appears. If you're not reading this book, you're missing out on one of the most enjoyable comics being published today.
Issue #6 of Invincible Iron Man sees Matt Fraction wrap up his first story arc on the book. After last issue's thrilling battle (tantalising cliffhanger and all), I'll be interested to see whether Fraction can bring this story to a close with as much style and intelligence as has been evident for the first five issues. I don't doubt that he'll be up to the task - and with Salvador Larocca on art duties, it's sure to look great.
Readers who are still speculating over the future of Iron Man post-Secret Invasion will be keen to see whether we get any hints as to the book's possible new direction yet, but I doubt that we'll see anything that gives the end of the crossover away here.
In the battle of the summer crossover "event" comics, Secret Invasion has managed to retain at least one clear advantage over DC's rival event, Final Crisis: it's still be being published. Whilst I haven't been the greatest fan of the series, there's something to be said for the skill with which the entire event has been orchestrated, as all of the tie-ins and crossover issues have fallen into place to create a sprawling event that allows individual titles a certain amount of latitude to do what they want with the Skrull-invasion concept, without getting in the way of the central story of the core title.
Last issue's cliffhanger suggested that we were going to be in for a Battle Royale this issue, between the Skrulls and the assembled hordes of Earth's Mightiest Heroes (and villains!). I can't help but feel that we're in for a predictable conclusion to the series - but at least it looks as though we'll see the event come to a close this side of Christmas, which is more than can be said for DC's series.

Q's gives way to Spruce at Hotel Boulderado
Last Updated: 17:34 July 8, 2014
BOULDER - Q's Restaurant at Hotel Boulderado has closed after nearly two decades in downtown Boulder to make way for Spruce Farm & Fish, a new restaurant slated to open Aug. 5, National Oyster Day.
Q's closed on Sunday and is undergoing renovations that include the addition of an oyster bar.
The new restaurant will be geared toward fresh seafood and fresh locally sourced ingredients, with a daily menu concept that will see changes each day as ingredients vary. Q's executive chef Shawn Murrell will stay onboard and create the menu for Spruce.
"It's going to be an opportunity for Sean to put his mark on the menu," Boulderado's director of sales and marketing Clark Davis said.
Dave Query of Boulder-based Big Red F Restaurant Group started Q's, leasing the space from the hotel before transferring his lease and management of the restaurant to others. When the most recent lease expired, hotel management decided to take control of the restaurant.
Renovations to the kitchen are also being made to better accommodate a pair of bars at the hotel, License No. 1 and Corner Bar, which were both renovated in the spring.
"It's been a great run with Q's, but we wanted to put a little effort into making the kitchen work more efficiently," Davis said.
Davis said the restaurant employs about 25 people, who will remain on staff. The hotel is still running a restaurant, with dining on the second-floor mezzanine during renovations.

Hotel: One night at the Days Inn Ft Lauderdale Hollywood Airport South. The hotel is very convenient to the FLL and the Miami Port. Everyone except for me flew into the Fort Lauderdale Airport and used the hotel shuttle to get to the hotel. I used the convenient and inexpensive 7 day parking offered by the hotel. The staff was very professional and helpful in meeting all our needs.
Shuttle: We used SAS Transportation to take the 10 of us to the port. This is the 3rd time we have used them and they were professional and efficient each time. The driver arrived on time and got us to the port as scheduled. On the return, within minutes after calling him he picked us up and got us back to the Fort Lauderdale Airport and the hotel. I was very concerned about getting to the airport on time because some of my family had booked flights leaving around noon. This turned out to be no problem because everyone checked into their flights with time to spare.
Cruise: A very good cruise as expected. Everyone in my family had a very good time on the ship and the ports. I don't go into the details of the cruise because everyone has their own opinion about food and entertainment.
1 - Days Inn Ft Lauderdale Hollywood Airport South.
-Easy shuttle from Ft Lauderdale airport to hotel.
-Comfortable and clean rooms.
-Cruise parking available.
-Great staff who are willing to go the extra mile to help.
2 - SAS Transportation (have used them 3 times)
-Easy to make reservation over the web.
-Will respond to any special request.
-On time at hotel and port pickups.
-Each driver was professional and very helpful.

Halloween Safety Tips
Did you know that on average, twice as many kids are killed while walking on Halloween as compared to any other day of the year? (Source: Safe Kids USA)
Kids will be out while it is dark – making it harder for drivers to see them and because they're excited about getting candy, they may not be watching out for cars.
Parents and drivers both need to do their part to help kids stay out of the emergency room on Halloween. Emphasize safe pedestrian behaviors to kids before they go out trick-or-treating. Drivers must slow down and watch out for trick-or-treaters, especially around crosswalks and driveways.
Top tips to keep your kids safe on Halloween

Jim Irsay: NFL Deal Must Be Finished By July 4 Weekend To Avoid Any Losses
"I don't think we've got your attention," Jones said to the players, several of whom recounted the incident to SI. "You clearly don't understand what we're saying, and we're not hearing what you're saying. So I guess we're going to have to show you to get your attention." Jones tapped his fists together for emphasis—the players interpreted it as a sign that a lockout was coming—then stood and walked toward the door. As he reached the end of the table, Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, another labor hawk, began to rise, but Robert Kraft of the Patriots, who was sitting next to him, put a hand on Richardson's forearm and kept him from going. If Jones's intention was to intimidate the players, he failed. "I think everybody in the room thought it was overly dramatic, almost hilarious," one player said. "It was like a Jerry Maguire moment. You know, 'I'm leaving. Who's coming with me?' I know it didn't scare any of us."Issues of trust and transparency led to the collapse of - 03.21.11 - SI Vault
Excerpt: Per the source, the league is bracing for the possibility of a ruling from Judge David Doty that would force the doors to remain open, compelling the league to allow player movement and trades as soon as 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
Excerpt: "First of all, the league has never presented a formal proposal for 18 games," [DeMaurice Smith] told SI.com. "But more importantly, it's something that our players don't want. Eighteen games is not in the best interest of our players' safety, so we're not doing it." Best news I've heard lately.
Helmet to Helmet hits can be very damaging to both players....
Excerpt: In one ruling, the judge potentially locked the owners out of more than $4 billion in broadcast rights fees that would be paid even if no games are played, and at the very least will assign damages – potentially in the hundreds of millions – to the players. But, it's larger than just that. They say you are only as strong as your weakest link. Your ability to sustain the center dictates how much pressure a group can withstand. Several of the NFL's clubs have considerable stadium debt service obligations, so banking on that $4 billion made thought of a lockout at least somewhat palatable.
Excerpt: Are you the kind of person who loves hearing the bug zapper? Who likes it when the highway paves over a few neighborhoods? Who secretly wants the tank to flatten the kid with the flower? Then you're going to love the NFL owners in this mess.
Excerpt: Publicly, NFL coaches and generals managers said things were business as usual. "Whatever the rules are, there will be the same rules for 32 teams," Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli said. That's true, but not all 32 teams face the same challenges. Pioli's Chiefs are relatively well situated to handle a summer off. Others aren't so lucky.
Excerpt: Matched against anyone else, the NFL players association could easily be the bad guy. The NFLPA is a loser like Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who made $24.6 million for his 16 tackles last season. It's Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, who caught 26 passes and made $21.4 million in 2010, and it's Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, who made $10.5 million for throwing 20 interceptions -- and then announced he would quit before being subjected to such conditions in Cincinnati. The NFLPA isn't easy to like, and I'm not going to try. But the players do have one thing going for them: They aren't the owners.

The Butler County Sheriff's Office is investigating a domestic stabbing in Liberty Township.
Deputies were called to the 5000 block of Rockdale Road just after 5:00 Thursday morning to investigate three stabbings.
Police say the family's father, Richard Grove, 64, the mother, Sharon Grove, 57, and the family's son, Matthew Grove, 23, were all taken to local hospitals for treatment.
Police didn't say who started the incident but Sharon Grove was treated at UC Medical Center and then released into police custody. Sharon is being held in the Butler County jail on domestic violence charges. Officers say her video arraignment should be on Friday.
Richard Grove was treated and released and Matthew Grove is still in the hospital in stable condition.
The sheriff's office says they had 15 prior calls to this home since January of 2003.

Jameer Nelson did his best to try to keep the Orlando Magic in the NBA Playoffs for at least one more game in the first three quarters of their game against the Indiana Pacers, but in the fourth quarter, his offense dried up. As his offense dried up, so did the rest of the Magic's, and their defense wasn't any better. A close game through three quarters turned into a blowout in the fourth quarter, as the Pacers won 105-87 to win the series 4-1.
The Pacers exploded for 36 points in the fourth quarter, with Darren Collison turning in an absolutely dominating period of play. He finished the night with 19 points on 9-10 shooting. Danny Granger led the Pacers with 25 points, while all Pacers starters but Paul George finished the game scoring in double figures.
Orlando was never expected to beat the Pacers without Dwight Howard, but the way in which they lost the series wasn't a good look. Allowing 36 points in your last quarter in the playoffs is just a terrible way to go out.

Gov. Mike Pence achieved a bureaucratic goal earlier this week when the Obama administration signed off on a one-year extension of a federal waiver for the Healthy Indiana Plan.
He immediately declared it a "victory for Hoosiers enrolled in this innovative program and will ensure that Indiana remains at the forefront of consumer-driven healthcare in the United States."
But is this a victory for Hoosiers?
First, let's do some math.
This is a state of 6.5 million people. In an interview with Pence last Tuesday, he put the uninsured population at 880,000. In the state's biennial budget passed last April, it provided funding for an additional 90,000 Hoosiers to be covered under the pre-Obamacare Medicaid system. At the insistence of Senate Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, about $400 million was placed in the budget to cover a full extension of Medicaid under President Obama's Affordable Care Act.
"We think 500,000 will be eligible for participation in the premium tax credits for the health care exchanges," Pence told me. The current Healthy Indiana Plan covers 36,600 and there are 55,000 people on the waiting list. As part of the federal waiver through 2014, HIP enrollment will expand by 15,000 people. "We'll be just shy of 50,000."
That puts the pool of uninsured around 300,000.
The governor wants to use the Healthy Indiana Plan as the vehicle for Obamacare-era Medicaid expansion. "In terms of the where to go from here, we just cleared our first prerequisite," Pence said. "My other two prerequisites in Medicaid expansion are: It has to preserve elements of the consumer-driven model of the Healthy Indiana Plan and it has to be fiscally responsible and sustainable."
Under Obamacare, 100 percent of the Medicaid expansion will be covered for the first three years, and then 90 percent in perpetuity. "That 10 percent we would have to pick up in the long term is a very significant expense for the state of Indiana," the governor said.

The Fourth of July is a time for food and fun and fireworks, but more importantly it's a time to remember those who are fighting for our nation's freedom.
It's important to remember that some veterans have a hard time on a day like today. For some combat veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, fireworks and gatherings can be tough and trigger flashbacks of war.
"As far as celebration, we're not sure what we're going to do yet," Pedro Sotelo said.
Sotelo served the United States fighting overseas in Iraq in 2003.
"For me it's a very intense moment. The first thing that happens is my mind goes back to a combat scenario," he said of being around fireworks.
Fireworks can trigger flashbacks for veterans like Sotelo suffering from PTSD.
"Just two days ago I was walking with my wife in my neighborhood and some fireworks went off and I reacted," he said.
It's something the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs wants others to be aware of when they are firing off fireworks in their neighborhood.
According to the government, 11 to 20 percent of veterans who served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have PTSD.
"For a person who has been in a combat zone and has encountered mortar fire or rocket fire, the sounds, the smell, even the startle that comes up can trigger either an anxiety response or can be a direct reminder of combat that they were exposed to," said Dr. George Dent, a psychologist who treats veterans at Kansas City VA's Honor Annex.
Sotelo hopes by sharing his story that other veterans who may suffer from PTSD will find the help they need at the VA.
"Perhaps as a community, perhaps we can help those veterans and let them know there's a safe place to come to," Sotelo said.
Physicians at the VA urge family of veterans to ask them before coming to a big fireworks event.

HOLLY SPRINGS — It was the situation high school players dream of being in. With the bases loaded, two outs and two strikes, Fuquay-Varina second baseman Lucas Scott could end the game with an out, or win the conference outright by delivering.
It was the latter.
Scotts single scored the tying and go-ahead runs for Fuquay-Varina in the top of the seventh, and it held on to win 4-2 at Tri-9 Conference rival Holly Springs on Friday night.
The win makes it impossible for any Tri-9 team to catch the Bengals (18-3, 13-1 Tri-9), third in The News & Observer rankings.
I just knew I was due for it and it was my time to shine, Scott said. He got a good pitch on that last one he definitely jammed me. I just managed to muscle it out to left field.
Almost nothing was the same from the rivals first meeting this year, an 11-8 slugfest won by Holly Springs thanks to three home runs by Brian Fortier. On Friday, Fortier stepped up again for the No. 6 Golden Hawks (16-5, 8-5), but this time as a pitcher.
He held Fuquay to just two hits entering the final inning, and Holly Springs led 2-1. But the Davidson recruit gave up a single to Nick Stuart that started the inning and then back-to-back two-out walks.
That set up Scott, who has had the game-winning hit earlier in the week in a 3-1 win against Athens Drive.
Hes been a gamer all year, Fuquay-Varina coach Milton Senter said. Hes been clutch and hes played great defense.
Fortier was removed from the game, and reliever Andrew Elwell gave up a RBI double by D.J. Burt before recording the last out. Fortier went 6 2/3 innings, striking out five and walking six.
Fortier pitched great. We just didnt finish the game, Holly Springs coach Rodney Whitesell said. But Ill say, thats two very good baseball teams that may see each other again.
Fuquay-Varina entered last season with high expectations, and was ranked top 10 in the state by a preseason poll. The Bengals made it to the third round of the playoffs, but finished third in the Tri-9, too.
Without a preseason distinction, Senters team has now won 10 straight games.
Our pitching has been off-the-chart good, Senter said. In the last 11 games, weve given up eight earned runs. You should win when your pitchers pitch that well.
The game was scoreless until the top of the fourth, when Stuart tripled with men on first and second.
Brett Daniels, who had been hit by a pitch, scored but Nick Yarborough, who had walked, was thrown out at the plate. Holly Springs catcher Mike Sconzo blocked the plate with his foot before applying the tag.
Holly Springs tied it up in the bottom half as first baseman Andy Wantz drove in Sconzo from second. Wantz reached second as the throw to the plate couldnt be cleanly scooped up by Fuquay-Varina catcher Brian Mitchell.
The Hawks took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth, as Fortier singled in pinch runner Jordan Yates.
Fuquay-Varina starting pitcher Jordan Bissette went five innings, allowing eight hits and two earned runs while striking out four.
Holly Springs is now tied for Green Hope (16-5, 9-5) for second, but the Falcons swept the season series.
It might not be the last meeting this year between the two rivals theyve met in the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, splitting the postseason matchups. Fuquay-Varina becomes the third different Tri-9 Conference champ in the last three years, with Green Hope (2012) and Holly Springs (2011, 2010) preceding it.
Obviously, when youre 18-3, (weve) had to win some tough games and some easy games. This is one of the toughest, Senter said.

On tap at Churchill's Pub & Grille in San Marcos, CA.
Pours a hazy light pinkish-red with a foamy tan head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, spices, yeast, and a slight hibiscus aroma. Taste is much the same with a floral flavor on the finish. There is a mild amount of spice bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is light and refreshing.

Democratic Republic of Congo
Professor Gaurav Desai, Tulane University, discusses the Asian (Indian) presence in and connections with Africa.
This talk will draw upon Desai's forthcoming book on the Asian (Indian) presence in and connections with Africa. The book is primarily focused on the twentieth century, but it has an overarching frame that reaches to the twelfth century world of the Indian Ocean trade re-created by Amitav Ghosh in his book In an Antique Land. In addition to presenting a reading of Ghosh's text which provides in many ways the theoretical anchor of his project, Professor Desai examines life narratives by Indian travelers to the interior of East Africa who wrote at the turn of the twentieth century, men of commerce who traveled between East Africa, India and other parts of the Indian Ocean, three narratives of Indians who were recruited by Julius Nyerere to serve in the project of Tanzanian socialism, and finally the canonical novel The Gunny Sack by M.G. Vassanji that in many ways provided a mythological map and charter for re-imagining the East African Asian experience after the Idi Amin expulsions.
Gaurav Desai is Associate Professor of English and has a joint appointment in the Program of African and African Diaspora Studies at Tulane University. Author of Subject to Colonialism: African Self-fashioning and the Colonial Library (Duke University Press, 2001) and editor of Teaching the African Novel (MLA, 2009) he has guest edited a volume of essays on "Culture and the Law" (South Atlantic Quarterly, 100.4, 2001), on "Actually Existing Colonialisms" (Journal of Contemporary Thought, 24, 2006), on "Asian African Literatures" (Research in African Literatures, 42.3, 2011), and co-edited a volume of essays on "Multi-Ethnic Literatures and the Idea of Social Justice" (MELUS, 28.1, Spring 2003). Postcolonialisms: An Anthology of Cultural Theory and Criticism (Rutgers University Press, 2005) which he co-edited with Supriya Nair has become a standard reference and classroom text since its publication. Among Desai's other publications are articles in edited collections and journals such as PMLA, Genders, Representations, Boundary2, Interventions, Research in African Literatures, African Studies Review and Cultural Critique. Recipient of a residential fellowship at the National Humanities Center in 2001, Desai has also been awarded a Rockefeller Foundation award for a residency at the Bellagio Center in Italy and an ACLS Burkhardt Fellowship for his research. In 2004, Desai was made a life member of Clare Hall, Cambridge University. He has recently completed a book on narratives of Indian Ocean connections between Africa and India.

Every family who is raising an autistic child feels it every day. Every military family raising a child with autism may perhaps feel it every hour with the additional stressors of military life. How we handle that stress everyday and having positive, effective strategies to cope with it is very important.
There are volumes of books written about coping with life, stress, anxiety, fear, anger, disappointment, depression and all the other related side effects of stress. I am not going to purport to be an expert on managing the effects of stress. I am far from it. I find myself at times taking out my frustrations from stress in life on my family, co-workers, extended family and friends. It's certainly not fair, but it unfortunately happens from time to time. I do think though, that I TRY harder than most people to manage the emotions that stress on the family can bring. I know what is at stake if I lose my cool all the time around my wife and kids – especially autistic kids in a family stressed out living with autism. I know that is a big claim to make, but when you have many sources of stress in your life how you handle the by-products of that stress is an daily importnant task. Also important, and what I want to focus very briefly on is discerning REAL stress versus PERCEIVED stress.
Let me 'splain.
Today I happened to catch the end of the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees series. It was game 5 and the winner would move on to the next round in the playoffs. It was the bottom of the ninth, at Yankee Stadium, with two outs, and the Yankees are down by one run with Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez at the plate to save the day with a homer. Can you imagine the REAL stress in that situation! Tens of thousands there live and millions at home with all their eyeballs on you to see if you are going to be the stud or the dud. That is pressure. That is stress. And performance in that kind of situation is extremely difficult and extremely stressful.
Then, moments later, the game is over. A-Rod could not pull it off. The Tigers win! And the television cameras start to pan all around Yankee Stadium to get the reaction from the fans, the ones who expected the Yankees to eventually move on and win the World Series! Why? Because that is what the Yankees do! They win! And the high expectations that all the fans had for their team came crashing down with one final at-bat. What disappointed me was when the camera stood still on one group of fans who were openly weeping and holding their hands to the top of their head. The disappointment must have just been too much for these two ladies adorned from head to toe in Yankee apparel and beads. Now that is an example of reacting to PERCEIVED stress!
See the family who deals with the real daily stress caused by the rigors of autism has REAL catalysts to deal with, and how they react to those very REAL stressors will add to or take away from the success of the family unit. Parents HAVE to handle the stresses in the home with the precision and professionalism of a trained counselor if their emotionally troubled auttie will ever have a chance in life. Our kids watch us closer than we could possible understand. Don't be fooled by their perceived aloofness. They are watching your behavior and reactions to life more than they ever hear your words. The ladies in the stands are reacting to PERCEIVED stress. I'll ask you this? Did those ladies have any ability to directly affect the win or loss of the Yankees? Did they Play in the game? Did they coach the team from the dugout? No. They sat in the stands, booed at the Tigers, cheered for the Yankees, probably ate nachos and drank their favorite beverage (or two or three).
To breakdown and cry because a team you were "watching" and "rooting for" is NO cause to openly weep as their was no direct loss of anything of significance financially, maritally, relationally or as a parent – some of the true benchmarks of importance in one's life. Those two will go home, sleep it off and go to work tomorrow virtually unaffected. Why do people react that way in those situations? It is difficult for me to comprehend that level of fanaticism and emotional involvement in something they have no direct control over. It is perceived stress as there is no direct loss of anything of value if it doesn't work out. Because they won't lose anything of true value there is no reason to get all worked up for nothing.
In our life as parents of special needs children we have control over many of the decisions or experiences that happen in our home. Our level of emotional intelligence and ability to decipher perceived stresses from real stress in our own homes is markedly important. A poor reaction to stressors in life will directly affect the family. Mood swings, anger, anxiety, worry and other emotions and behaviors harbored on over time will rub off and negatively affect your spouse and kids. First of all, avoid the perceived stress in life. Your team, or insert silly behavior here _________, isn't worth the effect the by-product behavior has on everyone around you! Next, when real stress comes, then act appropriately. When life (another nickname for "stress") happens do you freak out, or do you remain level-headed? When it gets too tough do you hit the bottle, or God-forbid your spouse or children, or both? Do you take it out in other ill, ineffective methods on others? Do you behave in an unhealthy way? If you are reacting to perceived stress – stop it. It's a waste of your time and blood pressure. If it's real and you still are blowing it…
Find a better way friend. Seek help. Today. Hit the nearest professional help, your knees, or both – whatever it takes to cope with stress more effectively.
I work on this myself daily, in all aspects of my life and will continue to work hard at controlling my emotional intelligence. It is a fight, it is a battle, but who in your household is not worth your best efforts to be the best example in the home?

From the 2008 National Health Interview Survey Cancer Control Supplement:
Have you EVER HAD a sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or proctoscopy?
When did you have your MOST RECENT exam?
Was this MOST RECENT exam a sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, proctoscopy or something else?
Have you EVER HAD a blood stool test, using a HOME test kit?
When did you have your MOST RECENT blood stool test using a kit at home?
Data include persons who have had a blood stool test in the past year, sigmoidoscopy in the past 5 years and blood stool test in the past 3 years, or a colonoscopy in the past 10 years. Healthy People 2020 uses the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines to measure this objective and the current USPSTF guidelines recommend screening for colorectal cancer using fecal occult blood testing annually, sigmoidoscopy 5 years with fecal occult blood testing every 3 years, or colonoscopy 10 years for persons aged 50 to 75 years.
This Indicator uses Age-Adjustment Groups:
The original baseline was revised from 54.2 to 52.1 due to a change in methodology. Because the change was small, the target was not adjusted.

New Orleans, La. – The day got off to a "fowl" start for Causeway police as officers confronted the age old question of why the chicken crossed the road.
In this case, officers were led on a wild chicken chase by five feathered suspects. It took some doing but they were able to corral the birds and get four of them into the back of a police cruiser.
In the confusion, the fifth chicken apparently made a winged break for it over bridge railing. That chicken's fate is unknown. The birds were in a crate that fell off a flatbed trailer.
The incident did not shut down the bridge.

Superintendent Mike Chitwood began his career in law enforcement over forty years ago. He initially served with the Philadelphia Police Department as a patrol officer, highway patrol officer, and then a detective in the prestigious Homicide Division.
