Bossier Sheriff Larry Deen says a Haughton man has been arrested for inappropriate sexual behavior with a juvenile family member and having hundreds of videos of child pornography.
James W. Bonacci, 69, of the 100 block of Platt Drive, was arrested late Friday after Bossier detectives discovered Bonaccihad reportedly engaged in aggravated incest with a family member when the victim was between the ages of 5 and 7 some years earlier. During an interview Friday, the victim, now a teenager, disclosed to authorities that Bonaccihad sex with her on several occasions and that he took nude photographs of her.
Bonacci admitted to detectives to having approximately 1,000 videos of child pornography on his computer, but denied raping the family member. After obtaining a search warrant of Bonacci's residence, deputies seized computer equipment and cameras as they continue their investigation to determine if additional charges are needed.
Bonacci was charged with aggravated incest, aggravated rape and pornography involving a juvenile. He was transported to the Bossier Maximum Security Facility for booking, and his bond is set at $780,000.

I wanted to clarify. The missions is just an addition, for those players who want to continue playing (so they would have goals at later game). I understand already that an achievement for all 150 missions was a mistake. It is forcing players to try and get it. And it requires a lot of time.

Volcan played 49 games with the Whalers and scored two goals and 11 assists but his offense was overshadowed by a ?12 plus/minus rating. The next season he played just 26 games but his plus/minus swelled to ?17 but he had a career year the following season when he was a full-time NHLer for the only time in his career. In 1982-83 Volcan was a regular member of the Whalers defense core and played 68 games with them. In that time he scored four goals and 17 points, but his plus/minus rating clocked in at ?30.
That summer the Whalers dispatched Volcan to Calgary in exchange for Richie Dunn and Joel Quennville, but despite surrendering two players for his services, he wasn't with the Flames for long. Volcan played 19 games with Calgary but only produced five points and spent the rest of the year in the minors.
When three more seasons past with Volcan still toiling in the lower leagues he elected to try his luck in Europe. In 1987 he signed on to play in Finland and then retired from the game at season's end.
After two years away from the ice, Volcan returned and signed on to play with the International Hockey League's Phoenix Roadrunners for one final campaign and acquitted himself well, scoring 13 goals and 42 points in 59 games.

First PREMIER® Bank Credit Cards
First PREMIER® Bank, existing since 1929, has a broad customer base and good reputation across the US. This bank is one of the leading credit card issuers in the US, offering credit cards for those who have less than perfect credit. First PREMIER® Bank credit cards are a smart choice for people with less than perfect credit.
First PREMIER® credit cards may be able to help build, rebuild or re-establish your credit history if you make on-time payments with all of your creditors and keep account balances low relative to the credit limit.
Unlimited 1% cash back gas rewards.

23.90% (Variable)*
- Unlimited 1% cash back gas rewards.
- No limit to the gas rewards you can earn.
- Get Pre-Qualified without affecting your credit score.
Rebuilding Credit with First PREMIER® BankIf you made financial mistakes in the past which crushed your credit score down, you still can rebuild your credit with the First PREMIER® Bank Credit Card. These credit cards were created for people with no or bad credit history and they are aimed to help you develop better credit habits.
The First Premier credit cards are instant response credit cards. First Premier Bank promises to give a response in 60 seconds after application submit. Also, bank states that your credit history will be reported to the major consumer reporting agencies. This means you are given a good chance to improve your credit.
However, you will need to put a lot of effort if you want to improve your credit. First of all, the First Premier MasterCard has a steep APR on purchases and cash advances – 36.0% percent. This is one of the highest interest rates among instant approval credit cards. So, you will need to pay off your balance every month if you want to avoid paying interest.
Other things you may not like in the First Premier Bank credit cards are fees. There is a processing fee without paying which you won't be issued a credit card. Annual fee is pretty high for the first year but it will be lowered after that. However, you may not notice this because bank will start charging you a monthly servicing fee on the second year of credit card use.
If you are sure you won't miss due payments and will be able to deal with all card fees, the First Premier Bank MasterCard credit card can be an option for you. But if you are one of those who tend to carry a balance from month to month, you may want to apply for an alternative credit card with lower APR.

When St. Paul-based Ecolab unveiled its Stealth Fly Station at a trade show, it won an award along with new customers.
Laboratory technologist Staci Jo Johnston carried a jar and trap of about 800 common house flies. She and Ecolab senior entomologist Douglas Gardner helped create a "Stealth Fly Station."
Photo: Richard Sennott, Star Tribune
The 1,500 flies buzzing fiercely in Staci Johnston's laboratory at Ecolab Inc. are just as happy laying eggs in rotten food or manure as they are dive-bombing somebody's dinner.
"That's why we call them filth flies," the Ecolab technologist recently told a tour group.
But the St. Paul-based company has come up with a high-tech, surreptitious tool to rid restaurants, grocers and hospitals of these invasive, bacteria-carrying pests. It unveiled its Stealth Fly Station at the National Restaurant Show in May, where the company stunned audiences with the device's ability to quickly eradicate flies within minutes.
The station looks like an innocent flat-screen, but it discreetly attracts the pests with its dark surface and a stench that flies love. Flies swarm to it like addicts needing a fix and then start dropping dead ... well, like flies.
The device, which would hang outside a building or a dumpster, has already won the 2012 Kitchen Innovation Award from the National Restaurant Association and has won new customers in the United States and Canada. The Stealth Fly Station is even scheduled to be installed in several restaurants in London in time for the Olympic games.
If successful, analysts and company executives said the device could elevate Ecloab's $329 million pest-control business to a new level. "If this looks better than the fly paper hanging from the ceiling and it does pretty much the same job, you can certainly see the appeal to restaurant bar areas, [because] it looks like a big-screen TV," said Longbow research analyst Dmitry Silversteyn.
A recent YouTube video shows an Ecolab lab worker releasing 1,500 flies in a lab room equipped with a fly station. Minutes later, 1,300 flies were lifeless on the table and all over floor. The simplistic black screen took two years and insanity-inducing research to perfect.
Douglas Gardner Ecolab's senior entomologist who co-developed the product with Staci Johnston, watched the winged pests over time, observing their every move.
"We spent hours doing that and discovered some things that I don't think anybody ... would ever see ... you go a little stir-crazy watching a fly fly around."
After much swatting, the flies ignored their lab-coated visitors and buzzed over to dark objects in the room. But they didn't necessarily land.
"This was so predictable, that I knew that ... if we could just get them to land then we could do something with that fly," Gardner said. Pesticides could be applied, but first the flies had to touch the darkened surface.
The duo tried things like sound, heat and ultraviolet light, but those methods failed. But when Gardner and Johnston put an "odor packet" under the black screen, things got interesting.
The females darted toward the stench and tried to lay eggs. Male flies clung to the edge of the black screen, waited for the females to draw near and then zipped after them like boys in a school yard.
This happened again and again: in the lab, in the field, and around the doorways of horse barns. "I can't tell you what is in the fly's mind," Gardner said. "But I can tell you that when they landed around that dark surface, it seems to be similar to what they do around [barn door] openings," Gardner said.
Once Gardner and Johnston got the flies to land on the contraption, they applied a pesticide to the black screen. The flies died off once they touched it.
Soon the Stealth Fly Station was born. It didn't cost millions of dollars to develop, but it is expected to generate "significant" returns, said Ecloab marketing manager Robert Ed, who declined to talk about sales projections.
So what might the "station" mean to Ecolab?
"I would not be surprised if the excitement about this new product, the novelty and differentiated approach to controlling flies, allows them to re-approach the customer, re-engage them and get back into ... a full pest-control program," said Silversteyn at Longbow Research.
If it succeeds, it will have done something important for the bug-control business, he said. Industrywide, "pest elimination was hit very hard during the recession," he said. Customer-starved restaurants and hotels cut expenses like pest control until their pesky problems -- and harmful bacteria like E. coli -- returned.
At $329 million, Ecolab's pest elimination sales and service revenues were flat last year. They dipped 1 percent in 2010. They're up 4 percent for the first quarter of 2012 and officials hope sales keep rising.
The Stealth Fly Station costs less than $100, but won't be sold by itself and consumers can't buy it Wal-Mart. Instead, Ecolab will bundle it into a monthly service for restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, hospitals, schools and other institutional customers who pay a monthly fee for the pesticide and scent reapplication.
Annika Stensson, a spokesperson for the National Restaurant Association, said that the Stealth Fly Station was selected for its annual award by a panel of food safety judges that included officials from McDonald's, Sodexo, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts and The Air Force Services Agency. "It's innovative and top-of-the-line," she said.

Comments about Personalized Memorial Ornament:
This ornament is beautiful and the engraving on it is impeccable. I have a wall that has family pictures, including my late furbabies. I had ordered one for both of them, then I wanted one to hang next to my late husband and my picture, so I ordered one for him. It is now hanging on the wall as well, and when I put the Christmas tree up, all three ornaments will be on the tree.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was very disappointed in the memorial ornament. I had ordered two last year for friends who lost their fathers and they were very nice. This year I ordered one for my dad and you can't even see his name engraved on it. Very disappointing for the price. I would not recommend this particular item to anyone.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love the concept of this ornament as well as the tear shape; however, I was disappointed in the engraving. The engraving looks very cheap. I expected it to be the same style and look like the engraving on the front. I think my friend will appreciate it and like it anyway.

Listen to the sounds of nature
The British Library has a collection of 268 nature recordings made in the first half of the 20th century. The recordings date back to the 1930s and include the songs of birds, noises made by large vertebrates like camels and panda bears, and even full-environment background sounds like this 1938 recording of an Afrotropical environment. Jeezus, the jungle is loud. (Via Alice Bell)
A directory of wonderful sounds
Carnegie Mellon University's Auditory Lab has a huge collection of high-quality audio recordings of random sounds—from a marble dropped onto sheet metal, to bubble wrap being popped, to crumpling newspaper, to the sound of a sponge being squeezed out over empty tupperware. I trust you all will come up with fun uses for this stuff. At the Annals of Improbable Research you can hear one of the lab's sloshing sounds. It is a very good slosh. (Via Marc Abrahams)

Video: Jim Whaley, VP, Communications and Marketing, Siemens Corporation
PRNewser caught up this week with Jim Whaley, Vice President, Communications and Marketing at Siemens Corporation. Whaley oversees communications and marketing, meaning Siemens' CMO reports to him. "We do have a seat at the table," Whaley said, when it comes to the communications arm. The b-to-b company, with 69,000 employees and $25 billion in revenue in the U.S. alone, does business in verticals from health-care to energy to consumer products.
We talked a bit about Siemens' "Answers" campaign, which Whaley said seeks to educate people on how the company "has the answers to the tough questions here in the U.S." They've invested four times the budget to this campaign as compared to any other previous Siemen's campaign, he said.
Whaley previously served as Director of Communications for the United States Military Academy at West Point. In that role, he was responsible for a campaign celebrating West Point's 200th anniversary that resulted in 24 books, eight network television documentaries and on the 2003 PRSA Award of Excellence and the PRWeek Public Campaign of the Year.
Not in this video, but an interesting story nonetheless, Whaley told us a about how the book, Absolutely American: Four Years at West Point, came about. Author David Lipsky, then a long-haired Rolling Stone reporter fresh out of Brown University, approached West Point about a story on the academy. Some top brass were skeptical of giving Rolling Stone unfettered access, but Whaley insisted. The story turned into the book, which became a New York Times best seller. For his research, Lipsky carried around a signed note from Whaley in a Ziploc bag that said he has complete access to the academy, its facilities and personnel.

Kuwait's constitutional court ruled that a parliamentary election held in February was void and decided to restore the previous assembly, according to state media reports.
KUNA state news agency said on Wednesday the court ruled that "the decree calling for the National Assembly 2012 election is void, and [ordered] the return of the dissolved council".
Mussallam al-Barrak, a leading opposition MP, described the verdict as "a coup against the constitution" and called for the opposition to take a united stand.
Rulings by the Gulf state's highest court are final and cannot be challenged.
Kuwait Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al Sabah issued a decree in early December dissolving the parliament following youth-led street protests calling for reforms and for the sacking of Sheikh Nasser Mohammad al-Ahmad Al Sabah, former prime minister.
A few days later, the emir issued another decree inviting Kuwaitis to elect a new parliament on February 2.
The court ruled that the second decree was "unconstitutional", thus nullifying the results of the general elections in which the opposition scored an impressive victory.
The previous parliament was controlled by a pro-government majority.

RIP IX: Haunting of Hill House Discussion!
I'm a little late on the upswing today, but better late than never, right??? Let's get this Hill House discussion going ASAP. Feel free to tackle our questions below, link up your own blog post, or both! We're pretty laid back here.
- Do you see Hill House's horrors as being different for its male and female inhabitants? Any gender issues at play here?
- What's up with the ghostly disturbances in this book? Eleanor's blooming telekinetic abilities, real-deal ghosties, a big mess of unreliable character? What say you?
- The Haunting of Hill House was first published in 1959. What aspects of 1950s culture or society do you see the novel critiquing, criticizing, or commenting on?
- Most Gothic novels are written in an ornate style, but Jackson chooses a simplistic style with a conversational word choice. What does it add to this harrowing tale? Do you find that it detracts in some places?
- The Big One: what is it about Hill House that allows it to consume Eleanor's sanity so efficiently? Or, what is it about Eleanor that allows Hill House to consumer her sanity?

Talton, a former Arizona Republic columnist, knows the urban desert terrain and delivers scathing commentary on twenty-first century Phoenix in this tightly plotted thriller delivered in lean, muscular prose. A side-trip to San Diego allows Talton to make some biting comparisons. Fans of this popular series will not be disappointed. [ ]

Over the years the storylines have shifted from what we might call straight mysteries (e.g., the Sister Agatha series) to mysteries that also qualify as romances. In this latest, a soldier comes home for his murdered fathers funeral and finds himself working with an old flame who has been his fathers best employee. When the police seem less than interested in finding the killer, these two try to do what the cops dont care about, and theres that old attraction too! Slick writing make this a page-turner. [ ]

Outstanding Steven Gerrard deserving of 100-cap milestone
International Friendly: Sweden v England
- Venue: Swedbank Arena, Stockholm
- Date: Wednesday 14 November
- Kick-off: 19:30 BST
Coverage: Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live & online from 19:00 BST; live text commentary on BBC Sport website & mobiles
Steven Gerrard will swell the ranks of an elite and illustrious group when he wins his 100th England cap in Stockholm's Friends Arena on Wednesday.
Gerrard is set to wear the captain's armband in the friendly against Sweden as he joins Billy Wright, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Peter Shilton and David Beckham as only the sixth England player to reach a century for his country.
The 32-year-old has been Liverpool's inspiration over more than 600 appearances - and while his successes for his only club have never come close to being replicated with England, Gerrard can be justifiably proud of reaching this rare landmark.
Gerrard travels to Stockholm as the only member of England's so-called "Golden Generation" - a title tarnished by the passage of time and persistent under-achievement - guiding the new young breed such as Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, Manchester United midfield man Tom Cleverley, teenage Liverpool team-mate Raheem Sterling and Crystal Palace's emerging tyro Wilfried Zaha.

It will be a special moment for Gerrard, not only to be hitting 100 caps but also doing it as Roy Hodgson's England captain, an honour he holds permanently after standing on the sidelines throughout the musical chairs and subsequent turbulence that accompanied former coach Fabio Capello's switches between Rio Ferdinand and John Terry.
England boss Hodgson, who managed Gerrard briefly at Liverpool, has a respect for the player that runs so deep he regards it as an honour to be the manager awarding him his 100th cap.
Hodgson said: "Anybody who gets 100 caps for his country has got to be one hell of a player. During those 100 caps there will be times when he wakes up after a game to the headline 'Mr Fantastic' and there will be times when he wakes up to headlines 'You Let Us Down'.
"That's the nature of the business but during his captaincy at Euro 2012 and since he has been excellent on and off the field. He is an outstanding, mature thinking football man. I'm delighted I'm the manager when he gets that 100th cap.
"What makes him a good captain is his ability, which gives him enormous respect in the group. What gives him a heads-up over a lot of people is his maturity, his total dedication to football and the fact that he's prepared to give his time to other young players, to champion their cause and speak to them."
Gerrard can reflect on an England career that has never carried less than 100% commitment, despite some outside observers wrongly casting doubt on his passion for the cause.
It has not brought him the satisfaction of a major honour and his 65% win ratio is probably the sort of mark this perfectionist and self-analysing individual would give his 100 caps if asked for an overall examination mark.
He has Champions League, Uefa Cup, FA Cup and League Cup medals to decorate his Liverpool career, but as an England player it is likely that becoming one of a select group to earn 100 caps will be his major achievement.
Graeme Souness on Gerrard
"I'm trying to think over the last 10 years....I'd have him as number one [for England]. I'd say that Steven Gerrard has had the biggest influence on the England team in the last 10 years. He would get in any team that Liverpool have had that I know of. For the best part of 10 years, he has been Mr Liverpool, he has carried a team through some sticky points. I look at him this year and I think he has modified his game. I think he is less explosive and he's more of a proper central midfield player now. It's not to say he has gone backwards as a player but when you get a bit older you haven't got those same energy levels and he has adapted his game. Because he's such a wonderful passer of the ball I feel a newer role would help him and providing he can avoid injury, he could play like that for another three years, no problem."
In a hotel in downtown Chisinau before England's recent World Cup qualifying win in Moldova, Gerrard revealed he still harbours hopes of the "miracle" of winning the 2014 tournament in Brazil. The incentive remains despite the disappointments.
He is not a flag-waving or cheer-leading captain but the hunger for England success is still there for a man who is popular and highly-respected by all within England's camp.
In his 7,604 minutes on the pitch as an England player since being given his debut by Kevin Keegan against Ukraine in May 2000, Gerrard has filled every midfield role and even deputised at right-back, where he was used by Liverpool before becoming the club's central figure and inspiration.
Such milestones make this a time for reflection and Gerrard has endured lows to go with his highs. A groin injury forced him to miss the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea - a bitter blow as his England career highlight was his goalscoring role in the memorable 5-1 win against Germany in Munich in a qualifier for that tournament.
The great missed opportunity at international level for Gerrard and his generation came at Euro 2004 in Portugal. Inspired by a teenage Wayne Rooney, England were as good as any team in the competition only to lose unluckily to Portugal on penalties in the quarter-final of a tournament eventually won by Greece.
Gerrard's own summer was overshadowed by then Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho's intense pursuit of his services, which acted as a distraction. It would have paired him with England contemporary Frank Lampard at club level and might have solved the still unanswered question about whether this lavishly-talented and consumately professional duo could form an effective midfield partnership.
Even his eventual installation as captain was delayed too long in the opinion of many, including this observer. Capello's belief that Gerrard was too timid for captaincy was another of the Italian's misjudgements.
Gerrard is a quiet, introspective figure away from the field, which may come as a surprise to those who have watched him drag teams behind him almost single-handedly on occasion - but this should never be mistaken for timidity.
He was one of the few successes of England's abject World Cup campaign in South Africa in 2010, doing a fine job on and off the field after taking over the captaincy following Ferdinand's knee injury.
Penalty agony
With the highs have come the lows. Gerrard saw his penalty saved by Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo in the shootout during the 2006 World Cup
Gerrard should have been given the armband permanently then and certainly after more success in the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland in September 2010. Instead it went back to Ferdinand before he was unceremoniously removed for the reinstatement of the previously sacked Terry the following March - a decision that eventually led to Capello's resignation.
Subsequently Gerrard was a victim of a bizarre episode, even by England standards, when caretaker manager Stuart Pearce overlooked him for the captaincy in favour of Tottenham's Scott Parker for the Wembley friendly against the Netherlands in February.
He kept his counsel and regained the post from Hodgson. Gerrard now has the job and barring injury or dramatic loss of form will keep it through until Rio in 2014. Testimony to his enduring quality came when he was England's only player included in Uefa's "best of Euro 2012" squad.
Gerard Houllier, his former Liverpool manager and the man who gave him the club captaincy in 2003, has no doubts about his qualities, saying: "He is a winner and still has this urge to drive the team on. He leads by example, giving a lot of himself to the team.
"He likes responsibility. He likes it when people trust him and this enables him to be even better."
There are still some who question Gerrard's worth and contribution to England over more than a decade, whether the fires for success with country rage as intensely as those that burn for his club.
If he actually felt this was worth an answer, Gerrard can point to 100 England caps as his most eloquent response - a remarkable feat by an outstanding player.

@586 everything that is wrong with an england supporter. They were poor tonight once again.
I'm starting to think that they might even have trouble qualifying from this group with both Poland and Monternagro looking good for their money. I hope England don't qualify!
Then maybe everyone will see what a bad team they really are and how it is a joke they are in FIFA's top 10.

Only deluded or deceived fools will quote French 'merde' ala Zidane to suggest that their idols or club player as the Best when its not validated by the FPIITP.
So no more of this English MANURE or German mist & quote them vacuously without them being substantiated by real tangible honors awarded by the FW, PF, EUFA Associations.
Talk is cheap especially by plastic or bigoted fans.

Yup, more free stuff!
I currently have 3 codes for Mass Effect 3: Infiltraitor, Fifa 13 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted [That's one code for each game] because I preordered Dead Space 3 for my Uncle.
They're only for iDevices, which I don't have, so they're up for grabs to anyone who wants one/them.
As there are more people wanting a code than available codes... It's now a prize draw!
There will be 3 draws, one for each game.
You can put your name into as many draws as you want, but you're only in each one ONCE.
The draw will be on Friday 1st March, 2013 at time o'clock or there abouts. [AKA when I remember to do it.]
If you want to be entered, can you send me a PM [with a subject of "Gaming Giveaway!"] with which games you're interested in.

New Zealand officials say they'll delay the departure of athletes for the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi by at least two days because of the "tremendously disappointing" state of the athletes' Village.
The first New Zealand competitors were due to arrive in New Delhi this weekend but the New Zealand Olympic Committee on Thursday called on athletes to delay their travel while outstanding issues with the Village are rectified.
NZOC president Mike Stanley says, "The long list of outstanding issues has made it clear the Village will now not be ready for New Zealand athletes to move in as planned."
Scotland and Canada decided Wednesday to delay departures for their teams.

The West Virginia native is a two-time Grammy Award-winning singer and was twice named Female Vocalist of the Year by the Country Music Association. Her recent recordings have intertwined Celtic, gospel, and bluegrass influences with the folk and acoustic music that have always served as her artistic anchor.
An early spokesperson and advocate for AIDS awareness and research, Matteas's long history of activism has led her to bring public attention to several current environmental issues: as a grass-roots presenter of The Climate Project's global warming slideshow, and in efforts to curtail mountaintop removal coal mining in her native Appalachia.
