|Francis Michael "Frank" Duff
|Servant of God
Founder, Legion of Mary
7 June 1889
Dublin, Ireland
|7 November 1980
(aged 91)

|Roman Catholic Church, esp. among members of the Legion of Mary
Servant of God Francis Michael "Frank" Duff (7 June 1889 – 7 November 1980) was a native of Dublin, Ireland, the eldest child of a wealthy family. He is best known for bringing attention to the role of the laity during the Second Vatican Council of the Roman Catholic Church, and for founding the Legion of Mary.
Early life[edit]
Frank Duff was born in Dublin in 1889, the eldest of seven children of John Duff (died 23 December 1918) and his wife, Susan Letitia (née Freehill; died 27 February 1950).[1] The family lived at St. Patrick's Road, Drumcondra, Dublin. Frank Duff attended Blackrock College, and at age eighteen entered the Civil Service, where he worked in the treasury department.[2]
Six years later, aged 24, he joined the Society of St. Vincent de Paul,[3] and was exposed to the real poverty of Dublin of that time. Many who lived in tenement squalor were forced to attend soup kitchens for sustenance, and some of the natural consequences of abject poverty, alcoholism and prostitution were rife in Dublin. Duff joined and soon rose through the ranks to President of the St. Patrick's Conference at St. Nicholas of Myra parish. Duff, having concern for the people he saw as materially and spiritually deprived, got the idea to picket Protestant soup kitchens and to set up rival Catholic soup kitchens instead. He joined forces with Sergeant Major Joe Gabbett[who?], who was already working at discouraging those entering the Protestant soup kitchens, and over the years succeeded in closing down two of them.[4]
In 1916, aged 27, Duff published his first pamphlet, Can we be Saints?, in which he expressed the conviction that all without exception are called to be saints, and that through Christian faith all persons have available the means necessary to attain such sainthood.[2]
In 1920 Duff acted as manager of the nationalist delegation to London that negotiated the Treaty of Independence for Ireland. While Duff is said to have been the only one among the delegation not to carry a firearm for his own protection, he did travel under a pseudonym, F.S. Mitchell, which he later used as a pen name.[5] He served as private secretary to Michael Collins.[6]
Inspired by St. Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary, he founded the Legion of Mary.[6] Along with a group of Catholic women and Fr. Michael Toher, a priest of the Dublin Archdiocese, he formed the first branch of what was to become the first praesidium of the Legion of Mary on 7 September 1921. From that date until his death, with the help of many others, he guided the world-wide extension of the Legion.[citation needed]
The Legion of Mary[edit]
On 7 September 1921, Duff founded the Legion of Mary. This is a lay apostolic organisation at the service of the Roman Catholic Church, under ecclesiastical guidance. Its twofold purpose is the spiritual development of its members and advancing the reign of Christ through Mary. The first legionairies were women. Today, the Legion of Mary has an estimated four million active members -- and 10 million auxiliary members -- in close to 200 countries in almost every diocese in the Catholic Church.[6]
Later life[edit]
In 1965, Pope Paul VI invited Duff to attend the Second Vatican Council as a Lay Observer.[2] Duff made promotion of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus a part of the Legion Apostolate. He took to heart the words of Our Lord to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque: "My Heart is so inflamed with Love for men that it is no longer able to keep within itself the flames of its burning Love. It must make itself known unto men to enrich them with the treasures it contains".[citation needed]
Duff wrote the following prayer:
"O Lord, all hearts are in Your Hand
You can bend as it pleases You the most obdurate and soften the most hardened.
Do that honour this night through the Blood, merits, wounds, names and inflamed
Hearts of Your Beloved Son and His Most Holy Mother by
granting the conversion of the whole world.
Nothing less My God, Nothing less because of Mary Thy Mother
and because of Thy might and Thy Mercy".
Duff died at age 91 on 7 November 1980 in Dublin, and was interred in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.

Cause for canonisation[edit]
In July 1996 the Cause of Duff's Canonisation was introduced by the Archbishop of Dublin, Desmond Cardinal Connell.

Winner of the Best Director prize at this year's Berlin Film Festival, the latest film from Christian Petzold (Yella, Jerichow) is a simmering, impeccably crafted Cold War thriller, starring the gifted Nina Hoss-in her fifth lead role for the director-as a Berlin doctor banished to a rural East German hospital as punishment for applying for an exit visa. As her lover from the West carefully plots her escape, Barbara waits patiently and avoids friendships with her colleagues-except for Andre (Ronald Zehrfeld) the hospital's head physician, who is warmly attentive to her. But even as she finds herself falling for him, Barbara still cannot be sure that Andre is not a spy. As her defensive wall slowly starts to crumble, she is eventually forced to make a profound decision about her future. A film of glancing moments and dangerous secrets, BARBARA paints a haunting picture of a woman being slowly crushed between the irreconcilable needs of desire and survival.

MERRILLVILLE | Whenever the region's top two locally-ranked football teams meet, the bleachers should be full, the press box crawling with media and the concessions selling out of everything.
But Saturday's annual Battle of Broadway lacked much of that glamour, having been rescheduled due to Friday night's storms, but still attracted a decent crowd.
And what a game they saw.
John Albomonte picked off Merrillville's DJ Wilkins at the Pirates' 37 with 45.2 seconds remaining to preserve a 34-32 Andrean win that featured a galaxy of stars on both teams.
Despite 12 drive-killing penalties for 85 yards, the 59ers were determined to go home a winner.
"It was something we saw last year," coach Phil Mason said of his team's spirit and resolve. "The greatest thing that happened to us was the Wheeler (sectional) loss, the anguish and hurt we went through, and these kids grew from that."
Matt DeSomer had a four-star evening, throwing for 275 yards and one touchdown and rushing for 191 yards and two more scores.
"He's a squirrel," Mason joked. "He's just fun and I'll tell ya, we were waiting for this (performance)."
Said DeSomer: "I just like football. Before the game, I'm anxious for that first snap to come and then I can relax.
"But it's not just me. It's a team thing, I've just got to drive them."
Trevor Berg scored twice in the wild fourth quarter on short runs. Tylor Petkovich finished with five catches for 78 yards and a TD for Andrean (2-0). Josh Barajas had three receptions for 96 yards before cramping up.
DJ Wilkins threw for 253 yards and favorite target Jonathan Robinson had 10 catches for 197 yards and three touchdowns to keep Merrillville (1-1) in it.
The Pirates had one last chance when they took over at their 18 with 1:21 remaining -- but Albomonte dashed any comeback hopes by intercepting Wilkins at the Merrillville 37 with 45.2 seconds to go.
Merrillville took advantage of Andrean lapses for both its second-quarter scores. Wilkins' 60-yard TD bomb to Tyrie Fuller was set up by a 59ers holding penalty and his 18-yard TD toss to Robinson came compliments of Terrance Grayson's 52-yard kickoff return.

1795 Three Leaves Dollar1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves MS61 NGC. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Bowers-Borckardt Die State II, with the die crack off the left wreath stem not reaching the rim. The B-5, BB-27 is the most common of the 1795 dollar die pairs regardless of design variety or subvariety, which induces price pressure from type collectors whether or not they tackle subvarieties such as the Two or Three Leaves versions of Flowing Hair dollars (the other five Three Leaves die pairs are scarce or rarer, for example). Better circulated and Mint State representatives of the B-5, BB-27 experience a magnified version of this pressure.
This example is a warmly lustrous MS61 that illustrates many of the typical characteristics of its die pair. The Bowers-Borckardt reference notes that "most early die states show striking weakness at the centers." Certainly this coin is not strong on the interiors, yet the luster flow is undisturbed even at seemingly detail-lacking zones such as the eagle's breast. The long, raised "bar" between star 5 and the uppermost flowing curl in Liberty's hair is a prominent diagnostic for the obverse die and thus the die pair.
Several colors add life to the gray base, including orange, gold, and green elements. A few small spots of charcoal toning also are present, more on the reverse. While the piece shows wispy flaws and a few deeper marks such as the near-vertical abrasion behind Liberty's eye, this coin's all-around eye appeal is better than the MS61 designation might suggest. Census: 13 in 61, 39 finer (1/13).

I was pretty much sold on this wedding when I heard that guests tossed gold glitter on the happy couple as they walked the aisle. Then I saw the heart balloons. And floral crowns and bracelets. And a reception with a florist stand for guests to bring goodies home. Thank goodness Milk Photography captured every moment because this gallery will be getting lots of Pinterest usage; I, for one, will be here all evening.
From The Bride… Our wedding ceremony was in my parents backyard which was filled with lots of DYI decorations. Our aim was to make the day feel like a festival. The backyard was covered in jars of white daisys and my friend made 1000 paper cranes to put around the garden to represent prosperity. The furniture set-up for the ceremony was mostly from our home, others we had found at opshops and painted white. Gary made an archway which we hung wooden gold bunting flags from and got married in front of. A friend played live music and everyone enjoyed cocktails along with our favourite little bags of lollies and chips for snacks. The aisle was a white material covered in gold glitter. Our guests threw glitter instead of confetti.
Before the ceremony we had a first look at the beach in front of my house where we spend a lot of our time. It was amazing to have a private moment and to watch Gary shed a tear! We had most of our photos taken in front of a beach house where we had spent so many summers.
Gary and his groomsmen wore blue chinos and a shirt with brown thongs. It was a boiling hot summer day and he wanted to make sure he was comfortable and wore something that represented his personality.
After the ceremony all guests were taken by bus to Mountain Goat Brewery in Richmond. The Brewery was the perfect blank canvas to decorate and continue with our festival style. It was decorated with a rustic theme in mind, with a splash of gold. The food was set up like market stalls. Five different food stations, with all of Gary and my favourite foods. There was also a flower stand, which at the end of the night, guests could take home. We had a market hall setting set-up in between the food stations and festoon lights to brighten the area. In front of the bar we had a gold love heart representing the dance floor and a DJ playing.

A new RACS Support Program for Fellows, Trainees and IMGS has been launched through Converge International. Follow this link for details.
Communique to trainees from the Board in General Surgery regarding recent media interest in harassment
Re. Speaking Out Against Bullying, Harassment and Discrimination
The Board in General Surgery is deeply concerned by the recent comments of a consultant surgeon that appeared in the Australian print and broadcast media and in the social and international media since. The comments advise surgical trainees to submit to sexual harassment and to stay silent on such abuse in order to avoid adverse career repercussions. The Board believes there is no circumstance that would justify this view.
The Board firmly advocates the reporting of bullying, harassment (sexual or otherwise) and discrimination experienced by any Trainee. Trainees who are aware of, or who are subjected to bullying, harassment or discrimination are encouraged to notify their hospital and the relevant Training Committee.

CES: The Beginning Of 3-D Television
The breakout hit of this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has been 3-D television "" a technology that is being touted as the next big thing in home theater, AFP reported.
Sony chief executive Howard Stringer said when it comes to home entertainment there really is no experience like 3-D.
"We intend to take the lead in 3-D. We want to provide the most compelling 3-D content possible," he added.
Sony plans to be part of a 3-D television network in the United States that will stream live performances in the format.
A Sony demonstration of live 3-D broadcasting featured country music star Taylor Swift, who said she will use 3-D technology to document her upcoming tour of Asia. Sony has also teamed with Discovery and IMAX in a 3-D TV network and with ESPN to broadcast football matches and golf in 3-D.
IMAX stated that while the depth-perception technology has been around for years, it is finally "ready for prime time" as proven by box office successes of recent films "Avatar" and "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs".
This year, Sony will release a line of 3-D-ready televisions capable of synching with sensing units and "active shutter glasses," worn by viewers to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image.
Meanwhile, South Korea's LG Electronics displayed massive TV screens linked to wireless glasses during the CES show.
LG's Randy Overton told AFP that 3-D is going to be the next big buzz.
"Everyone is going to want it. Then the gaming systems will jump on," he added.
But while 3-D offerings are visually stunning, it is unlikely consumers will rush to buy the premium-priced television sets, according to Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey.
McQuivey said many consumers upgraded to high-definition sets in the past three years, and an infrastructure to deliver 3-D content to homes isn't in place.
He told AFP that while everyone is excited about how well 'Avatar' did, it is very hard to jump on the bandwagon when you don't see a path for bringing it into anyone's home.
Last month's release of science fiction blockbuster "Avatar," a 3-D film by "Titanic" director James Cameron, has renewed interest in the medium Growth of 3-D, even though it has been slow to take off because of a lack of programming, the need for the special glasses and the higher prices of 3-D sets.
However, the likelihood that it may take years to adopt 3-D TV — just as it did with the Blu-ray DVD format — has not deterred manufacturers.
Toshiba unveiled a flat-panel Cell TV that converts digital video into 3-D, while Panasonic went 3-D with a "Live In It" campaign for its electronics.
"Avatar" producer Jon Landau said at a Panasonic event at CES that 3-D is not about guys jumping off the screen, but really a more immersive and a more engaging experience for the consumer.
"It heightens the senses. I think you'll see 3-D become ubiquitous," he said.
In a push to bring more 3-D entertainment into the home, South Korea's Samsung has teamed up with Technicolor and DreamWorks Animation, maker of "Shrek" and other hit movies. The three firms announced they have formed an alliance to "accelerate the worldwide deployment of in-home 3-D to mainstream consumers."
Samsung will be marketing a "complete 3-D entertainment offering for the home" featuring a 3-D television set, 3-D Blu-Ray player and "stylish active shutter 3-D glasses."
Frederic Rose, chief executive of Technicolor, hopes to capitalize on the current excitement over the format, saying 3-D in theaters is "a gateway into the home."
"It's one thing to put on 3-D glasses in a theater, but at home, you're with other people in the living room, running to the kitchen and doing other things," said Greg Ireland of the research firm IDC.

text: The Butcheress wiki last edited by KillerZ on 02/05/15 03:55PM View full history HistoryButcheress is a Nazi scientist, who works on Daemites (parasite creatures form the first game). She develops a fascination towards them and feed prisoners and her own solders to them. This made them love the Butcheress. When BloodRayne attacked her, she showed off amazing fighting skills and was believed to have been killed when she was thrown into the Daemites pit. Actually they protected her and she survived the experience. ReturnMany years after the battle, BloodRayne discovered that the Butcheress was still alive. She revealed to Rayne that she had kidnapped her when she was young and tested the parasite on her. This failed and she lost the memory of the event until the Parasite Queen was killed. She then stabs Rayne with a surgical saw and troughs her out the window. After that she started to take a blood bath, when Rayne and her sister Ferril, who had been captured, blew the complex up. Knowing her track record, Rayne thinks she may have survived the explosion. Human VampirismThe Butcheress takes pride in being a descendant of Elizabeth Báthory. She uses stiletto heals and bow saws as weapons. She gets her powers thanks to bathing in virgin girls' blood. That also keeps her young and beautiful. She also has knowledge of bringing zombies to life.

He ain't had him a buzz like this
Since the last time that he overdosed
from Drake (Ft. Eminem, Kanye West & Lil Wayne) – Forever Lyrics on Genius
Quadruple entendre people! The buzz he's talkin about was:
his buzz cut when he first blew up.
the amount of publicity he had when he almost overdosed
the actual buzz the fans are producing for him.
the buzz of the defibrilator used to revive him following an OD.
Reference to Em's drug problems in the period between Encore (2004) and Relapse (2009)
A buzz for the average person is the result of a couple drinks or a puff of a joint—even a cigarette for some.
This line suggests that a buzz for Eminem is an overdose (in parallel to over-performing). Hence: Eminem has an outrageously high drug tolerance (as opposed to other rappers who get a buzz from less good performance).

Piece 1A in the figure is to be cut 3 inches by 6 inches long per the drawing. There are two of them to be cut and butt welded together to form the base of the assembly on which the triangular top piece is to be welded.
The drawing states that total tolerance for fractional dimensions is 1/16 inches. If piece 1A were cut 5-15/16 inches long, it would be within the acceptable tolerance limits of the drawing, so it is acceptable to cut part 1A to this length.

An ancient creature accidentally unearthed on Malastare during an intense battle of the Clone Wars, the Zillo Beast was a monster of legend. The enormous animal proved to be nearly invulnerable to Republic weaponry, prompting intense interest from Chancellor Palpatine. At his order, the creature was incapacitated and transported to a supposedly secure research facility on Coruscant. The Zillo Beast would not be caged, however, and it broke free from its restraints, running wild through the crowded thoroughfares of the capital, leaving swaths of destruction in the wake of its titanic rampage.

"We have 4.2 billion intranet addresses and 35 trillion sub-networks. By 2010, codified network is expected to double every 11 hours. This kind of connectivity and innovation will change the world."
He said that India too would change along with changes in other parts of the world. It had the potential to become the third largest economy by 2030.
He asserted that innovations spurred economic activity, productivity, met social needs, solved educational healthcare problems and created national and international models for the people of a country.

This was great, fantastic.
A suggestion for future chapters, is though the sex is always phenomenal, the stories always revolve around it. Though it's supposed to, i guess, it'd be nice if maybe they revolved more so around the plot.
For example, an alternative could be he forces her to wear the dress out somewhere and is pleased by the fact his girl is so stunning. There'd be a lot of pride for him, which could be followed by some dominating sex assuring she's his after some other choice males take a look at her.
And even though each sex story is better than the usual, it'd be nice if it had more character. Instead of always doing it in the room or on the ship, somewhere obscure might be nice. Like your first chapter, that was a perfect example as to what i'm talking about. Less about sex and more about how they get to it. Another option, could be perhaps they go to a cave after being stranded on an island, or a touching reunion if lovers. Maybe Zoro could show off his sword skills while fighting over Nami with another unknown man.
A lot of things could happen elsewhere, which personally i'd find much more intriguing than different ways to have sex.

Stacy Bowen looks through old photographs, drawings and notes of condolence collected after the death of her husband, Asheville fire Captain Jeff Bowen. / Erin firstname.lastname@example.com
ASHEVILLE Capt. Jeff Bowen liked to arrive an hour before his shift started at Station Three. That way, some of his fellow firefighters could leave early if they needed to.
So, when his alarm clock went off on July 28, 2011, he showered and dressed and kissed his wife Stacy as she was getting up.
Bye, honey, I love you, she remembers him saying.
Bye, pumpkin, I love you, she told him. Ill talk to you later.
She heard him pour his coffee in the kitchen, grab his bag and go out the door of their Alexander home into the early-morning light.
Later never came for Stacy Bowen.
But that was a good conversation, she said. Because a lot of people, their last conversation isnt always good.
It has been one year and a day since Bowen, a 37-year-old California native who at 16 hopped from a skateboard to the back of a firetruck to fight his first fire, died in a blaze on the top floor of a medical office building downtown.
He was the first Asheville firefighter to die in the line of duty in decades. His death is considered a homicide because the fire was intentionally set. Police have made no arrests despite hundreds of interviews. Arsons are hard to solve.
The internal investigation into his death will soon dramatically change the way the Asheville Fire Department does business.
But one year after her husbands death, Stacy Bowen wants people to remember who he was.
He was so full of life, she said. He was always present in whatever he was doing. He was always there. And he was willing to help anybody do anything.
She would also like a break in the case. She is still angry and, she said, that might bring some closure.
She remembered him this week as she was sitting at her dining room table surrounded by photographs and letters of condolence written by strangers from around the country.
One from Wisconsin. Another from New Mexico. A recent dispatch from someone who had been visiting Greenville, S.C., and watched the news the day her husband died. He just wanted to send a note saying he was still thinking of her a year later.
The scrawling crayon handwriting of a young child who made a card left at the Fire Department. Dear firefighters, it reads. Im sorry about your friend.
Jeff would be embarrassed by all this, his wife says. He would say he was just doing his job.
Bowen loved the fire service and the physical and mental challenges that came with being a firefighter. He enjoyed the excitement.
He was also relentless in his personal life. That was something Stacy noticed the day they met at an Independence Day pool party at a friends house on the outskirts of Weaverville in 2003.
She was supposed to go to the beach, but her boss at Thermo Fisher Scientific canceled the vacation because the company was installing a new computer system and needed the work completed right away. She is a production manager.
The host of the party pulled her aside and told her about Jeff. She wasnt interested at the time.
Another friend, who had wanted them to meet for months, was outside telling Jeff about Stacy.
She came outside and sat down in a lounge chair near Bowen and her friend. They started talking. Someone mentioned age and she asked how old he was.
Almost 29, he said.
That wasnt going to fly for Stacy. She was almost five years older. She had been married before, had three kids and was not looking for a younger man. She turned his offer of dinner down. But he was undeterred.
By the end of that night, he was bound and determined, if nothing else, to get me to agree to go to dinner with him, Bowen said.
She agreed mostly so he would leave her alone.
Her kids were going to be with her the next weekend so she couldnt go then. And the weekend after that was her friends husbands birthday, and she had already committed to going to a cookout party, so, she told Bowen, he would have to wait.
Still undeterred, Bowen got himself invited to the cookout.
He was relentless, she said.
They were seeing each other exclusively a month later and married two years after that.
She was attracted by his moral compass. He would tell you like it was, she recalled, even if you didnt want to hear it.
I would try to coach him sometimes on tact, she said. He didnt so much get that. But sometimes I think in this world there is too much tact. Sometimes people just need to hear the truth. And he was all about telling people the truth.
He was the same way in his professional life. A firefighters firefighter, is how Chief Scott Burnette described him.
And that was true the day he died.
It had been a busy day at Station Three. A medical call, Stacy Bowen recalled. A hazmat spill. The heat was oppressive.
About four hours after his 24-hour shift started, Capt. Jeff Bowen led his crew on a search and rescue mission into smoke-filled Biltmore Center.
Firefighters encountered a tough situation at 445 Biltmore Avenue from the start.
The building had no sprinklers, and the standpipes, meant to carry water from the street to fire hose stations on each floor, did not work during the fire.
The medical office building is connected to Mission Hospitals campus with a walkway over the street.
An investigation later revealed that a standpipe main valve, hidden from view by a drop ceiling, might have been in the wrong position.
Engine 2, Engine 1, Ladder 1 and Squad 1 were the first crews dispatched at 12:28 p.m., according to an internal report and radio traffic recordings.
Almost every city truck was eventually on the scene.
The engine officer called for a second alarm when he saw heavy smoke and flames from the top of the building.
Dispatch sent a fire marshal, a fire safety officer, Battalion 1, Engine 6 and Rescue 3 Bowens crew to the blaze.
It took nearly 44 minutes before firefighters, using a hose brought in through a window from a ladder truck, got water on the fire, according to radio traffic recordings.
Nine firefighters were treated for injuries sustained during falls while handling charged hose lines and for overexertion and exposure to heat and smoke, according to the Fire Departments internal report.
Eight were treated at the hospital.
Bowens crew was originally assigned to search for occupants. About 200 people were inside the building at the time.
When that was completed, the crew moved to fire attack operations.
The standpipe plagued Bowen, whose radio call number was 301, the entire time his crew was in the building.
He repeatedly told the incident commander, Division Chief Carlton Denning, he needed water to the north standpipe.
When Bowen learned a crew from Engine 6 was attacking the fire with the hose from the ladder truck, he told Denning he would stay inside the building as backup.
Bowen then told the captain of Engine 6 he was nearby on the fifth floor and could help if needed.
The Engine 6 captain told him his crew was continuing to ventilate by breaking windows and to move in, but Bowen again radioed he could not get water from the standpipe.
Denning told him to pull out.
We cannot get water out of the standpipe, Denning told Bowen. Go out of the building.
10-4, Bowen said. I am leaving.
About 3 minutes later, Bowen told Denning he was out of air.
Denning called for PAR on all interior crews. The acronym stands for Personnel Accountability Report. It is a roll call.
Bowen answered seconds later.
301 has PAR, he said. We are on our way out.
The safety officer broke in 22 seconds after Bowens transmission.
OK interior, wherever you just opened up those windows we now have flames in that location, he says.
Fourteen seconds later, according to the timeline on the radio recordings, Bowen broke in with a mayday.
Firefighter Jay Bettencourt was with him. He said Bowen collapsed while trying to get out. The smoke became so thick they couldnt see inches in front of their faces.
Bettencourt crawled along the wall of the room to find an exit to get Bowen out and found what he called, the most beautiful thing you could possibly imagine, a smokeless, well-lighted stairwell.
He turned around and went back for Bowen.
He dragged his friend across the room, pulling his weight and 50-plus pounds of his own gear, while running low on oxygen himself.
Bettencourt, exhausted, pulled Bowen on top of his own body and slid down to the third floor where rescuers found them before Bettencourt lost consciousness.
An autopsy found Bowen died of smoke and fume inhalation. The pathologist said Bowen attempted to buddy breathe with a fellow firefighter after his respirator tank was empty.
Bettencourt, who spent this week riding across North Carolina on his bicycle as part of a memorial for Bowen, said in an interview in December that he never thought of leaving his friend behind.
It would have been like cutting half of my body off and leaving it there, he said. Thats just not what firefighters do.
For fire investigator Buddy Thompson, that kind of dedication makes solving this case all the more important.
Police investigation
Thompson officially retired in April from his job as director of the Asheville-Buncombe Arson Task Force.
But he was still in uniform Wednesday as he sat with Detective Kevin Taylor in the police chiefs conference room downtown.
Thats because hes staying on for another six months as a contractor, in part, to try to solve the Bowen case. Hell also be training the new fire investigator.
Arson is one of the most difficult crimes to solve because the fire destroys physical evidence, and the act of fighting the fire compromises the crime scene even further.
Investigators believe the arsonist who started the fire at Biltmore Center poured fuel in four places inside suite 500, according to a public State Bureau of Investigation search warrant.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives tested samples taken from the areas and found the fuel was a petroleum-based substance, such as kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel or diesel fuel, according to the search warrant.
A police incident report released Aug. 8 listed used pass key as the arsonists method of entry but also said the entry was forcible. Police have declined to comment on the report.
Thompson and Taylor this week were equally quiet on the evidence they have gathered. Investigators typically do not discuss details of an ongoing case. And, since this has federal involvement, its treated as even more sensitive.
Taylor, who has been on the case since the Monday after Bowen died, said 200-300 people have been interviewed.
He said even now, new people are showing up who had not talked to police about what they saw that day. He encouraged anyone who has not been interviewed to come forward. Any detail might help, he said.
The case has a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Both men said its been hard to go a year without a break in the case, though a federal expert said he was not surprised.
As difficult as it would be to believe from a lay persons perspective, a year from a fire death is not unusual, ATF spokesman Earl Woodham said. They are still in the process of investigating this crime. Its not on the back burner.
The building has not reopened, manager Chuck Tessier said. It is in the process of being sold. Rehabilitation has been completed, and remodeling will start again soon. He said it will be state of the art, with sprinklers throughout, and safer.
Thompson has investigated fires for 17 years, and this was the only firefighter fatality he has worked.
We lost a brother, we lost a friend, Thompson said. And somewhere out there is a man that has to stand and look in the mirror every day knowing what he did. So, that is what we need to solve this a case of conscience. Thats what we need.
Bowen was a fellow public safety professional and a co-worker, Taylor said.
Its tough, he said. There is that natural closeness with police and fire.
But more than anything, he wants to solve it for the Bowen family.
Stacy Bowen is waiting for that day.
I would love to know who is behind it, she said. I would love to be able to put a face to these actions, because right now the anger that I have, its just there, and to be able to put that to a named person or group or whoever did it would be wonderful.
ASHEVILLE The Fire Department will add more commanders to handle major emergencies following an office building blaze that killed a department captain one year ago.
The additional supervisors will come from a staffing overhaul at the West Asheville Fire Station, taking it from two three-person crews to one four-person crew.
Fire Chief Scott Burnette said the change, while resulting in fewer firefighters stationed in West Asheville, does not put the public at risk. He said a four-person crew is more efficient.
Station 10 has a 97 percent reliability rate now, he said. That means a unit from Station 10 arrives first in 97 out of 100 calls. The other 3 percent of the time a unit from nearby stations arrives first.
By merging into one unit, the home unit arrival rate drops to 90 percent, which is the industry standard and citywide standard, Burnette said.
The change, he said, does nothing to lengthen the departments arrival time of 5 minutes and 12 seconds after someone calls 911. Units achieve that rate 90 percent of the time, he said.
The new staffing configuration will be tracked to make sure there is no decrease in service, Burnette said.
The changes come from a months-long internal review that will be released in August.
Seventeen groups, comprised of firefighters who volunteered for the duty, found 150 areas that needed improvement in examining the response to the fire that killed Bowen.
Recommendations include:
Increasing commanders on each shift from three to seven
Tasking the on-duty fire marshal with incident command duties first, in some cases, instead of immediately starting fire investigation. The on-duty training officer would also take on the role of a safety officer in major emergencies.
Spending up to $150,000 to purchase thermal imaging cameras for all companies. Only the citys four ladder companies and the rescue crew have the life-saving cameras now.
Burnette said these changes would have made the fire operation safer that day.
The span of control the day of the fire or the ratio of supervisors to firefighters was too low, he said.
The fire department had an incident commander, an operations officer and a safety officer on the scene. It should have had an additional four to five commanders to create a rate of one supervisor for every three to seven firefighters for an operation that large, Burnette said.
The single incident commander that day was responsible for everyone inside the building. Under the new system, the incident commander works with a team of forward group leaders. A supervisor would be inside the building to manage the interior attack.
That frees the incident commander to talk with one person about the conditions inside instead of talking to several fire captains, truck operators and a safety officer.
If the incident requires a search, which is a different strategy than fire attack, a forward group leader takes over command of that effort and deals directly with the incident commander.
During the 445 Biltmore Avenue fire, the incident commander had to switch from fire attack to leading the search and rescue for Bowen after called mayday. The fire attack then fell to the operations chief.
We were not doing a bad job, but what happened was unacceptable, Burnette said. Using those terms, we need to do a better job.
The additional commanders might have also helped solve the problem firefighters had with the standpipes inside 445 Biltmore Avenue. The pipes, which carry water from the street to fire hose stations on each floor, never worked.
Tests later revealed an operating screw and yoke valve that controls supply to the pipes would stop the flow if left in a middle position.
Firefighters never saw the valve that day because it was hidden from view by a drop ceiling. The valve was in the ceiling, which is unusual, because the first floor of the building is below the grade of Biltmore Avenue where the city water supply is located.
Commanders that day focused on getting water on the fire it took 44 minutes instead of trying to fix the standpipe problem. They eventually used a hose from a ladder truck.
But the problems with the standpipe were confusing. Bowen repeatedly told the incident commander he could not get water from the standpipe.
The new command system, Burnette said, might have allowed time for a supervisor to find the valve and turn it to the correct position.

Angels agreed to terms with RHP Justin Speier, who had been with the Blue Jays, on a four-year contract.
The deal is believed to be worth $18 million. Speier is the first Type A free agent to officially change teams this winter. The Blue Jays will get the Angels' first-round pick -- assuming that the Angels don't sign another Type A free agent who rates higher than Speier -- and a supplemental first-rounder. The 33-year-old Speier is getting a four-year deal despite some elbow issues that cost him a month in the second half. He was as good of a bet for 2007 as any free agent reliever available this winter, but he might not provide much value in 2009-10.

Washington is using their money in its budget-cap games, leaving the duo in a state of perpetual weakness, like the living dead, imprisoned in the government's ill-named "conservatorship" program.
A number of profit-minded investors that have taken positions in the preferred shares of the formerly distressed mortgage companies are pushing an alternative. The politicians, they claim, are blowing an opportunity both to generate at least $100 billion in deficit reduction from a spinoff to the public and to significantly limit the government's footprint in the mortgage market. Recall that in last month's budget, President Barack Obama took a huge political risk in calling for the sale of the government-owned Tennessee Valley Authority for about $25 billion to help reduce the deficit.
The financial acumen of these investors—which include hedge funds Paulson & Co.; Claren Road Asset Management, owned by the Carlyle Group; and Perry Capital—stands in stark contrast to their seeming naiveté about Washington. No matter how sensible on paper, their investment is unlikely to succeed. As one of my D.C. sources quipped, "Congress can't fix the Post Office, let alone Fannie and Freddie."
I've heard the investors' spiel. It's a good one. They envision two well-capitalized, debt-free, prime-mortgage guaranty corporations operating without government safety nets. Proceeds from the wind-down of mortgage-backed securities now on the books would pay off debt.
The government injected $187 billion into Fannie (ticker: FNMA) and Freddie (FMCC) after their collapse in 2008 in return for special preferred stock. At year-end 2012, the Treasury had received $65 billion in dividends, leaving a balance of $122 billion. The administration estimates that if the two remain in conservatorship for 10 more years, Treasury will get its money back—plus $50 billion—assuming housing's recovery continues. The investors argue that the companies have recovered and, like General Motors GM 1.61965931304105% General Motors Co.

Based on combined 2012 pretax profits of $28 billion and a conservative 6.5 price/earnings ratio, the two could easily raise $182 billion in the stock market, according to the investors. If the government converted its preferred shares into a 79.9% common stock interest and sold it, then it would receive at least $145 billion. An eight- to-10-times multiple is more likely, generating $200 billion to $250 billion.
Subtracting Uncle Sam's proceeds from a $182 billion stock sale would leave $35 billion for holders of the $33 billion par value in old preferred shares and common stock. If they received their allocation ahead of the common, they'd realize a 100% recovery. Thus, the hedge funds and other vulture investors who bought preferred for $2 to $4 would receive $25, a great payday, to be sure.
Alas, Fannie and Freddie have loss carry-forwards valued at about $60 billion. Left on their books, it's counted as equity capital. The vampires in the administration and on Capitol Hill want Fannie and Freddie to transfer that credit to Treasury for use in deficit reduction. Treasury also continues to sweep capital out of both companies every quarter for its preferred dividends, keeping them weak. And they call this a conservatorship. I call it a vampire's blood bank.

Concretions, with abundant calcite-dolomite cement-replacement textures originally hosted in shallow-marine sandstones, were reworked into Lower Cretaceous fluvio-deltaic conglomerates and shoreface sandstones (External Zones, Betic Cordillera). A cycle of host sand deposition, early diagenetic concretion formation and concretion reworking is documented: (1) Well-sorted shoreface sandstone deposited. (2) Spherical to ovoid, non-ferroan calcite-cemented concretions formed below flooding surfaces at shallow-burial depths during early eodiagenesis. Non-ferroan calcite cements were precipitated from the bicarbonate derived from seawater and from dissolution of marine bioclasts, as shown by isotope analyses. (3) Concretions were reworked and exposed on the seafloor in a high-energy setting as indicated by the presence of numerous bivalve borings (Entobia ichnofacies), laminated micritic microbial crusts around the concretions, and epilithobionts (oysters, barnacles and corals) on the concretion surface. Concretions also appear as erosional remnants on the floor of channels which were incised into the shoreline sandstone when sea-level fell. (4) The fluvio–deltaic channels were filled with sediment during flooding in the late lowstand of sea-level. (5) The concretions are partly dolomitized, and the presence of siderite, pyrite and barite in the outer part of the concretions precipitated before the dolomite, suggests that the latter formed during shallow burial.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS INITIATIVES: While a National Academies report on nuclear earth penetrating weapons found that some "deeply buried targets" of potential U.S. adversaries "can be held at risk of destruction only with nuclear weapons," it also estimated that such weapons cannot penetrate deep enough to fully contain the effects of a nuclear explosion and might cause thousands or millions of casualties. Senate authorizers and appropriators both supported funding for a DOE study of a Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, putting them at odds with their House counterparts. Senate appropriators also differed from their House colleagues on disposition of spent commercial nuclear fuel and construction funding for the National Ignition Facility.
SCIENCE EDUCATION: Witnesses at a House hearing on U.S. competitiveness questioned what it would take to reinvigorate national efforts in science and math education and innovation. The House voted to increase funds for the Education Department's Math and Science Partnership program by 6.4% but recommended a 4.1% cut to NSF's Education and Human Resources program. It also applauded National Science Board plans for a commission on science education, a concept supported by AIP and several of its Member Societies.
NSF FUNDING: House appropriators would give NSF a 3.1% increase, while Senate appropriators recommended growth of 1.1%. In the House, an amendment to shift some funds from NSF to the hiring of police officers was defeated by a vote of 31-396.
NASA SCIENCE PROGRAMS: Appropriators in both the House and Senate recommended increasing NASA funding and cautioned against harming NASA's science and aeronautics programs in order to fund exploration to the Moon, Mars and beyond. A new American Geophysical Union statement warns that Earth and space science funding are being threatened by other NASA initiatives.
OTHER APPROPRIATIONS: House appropriators would boost NIST funding by 6.5%, while Senate appropriators would increase its budget by 20.8% and restore the Advanced Technology Program. The Senate Appropriations Committee would increase USGS funding by 2.8%. House appropriators would bump the budget for NIBIB by 0.5% and trim DOD S&T by 0.6%, while Senate authorizers expressed concern "about the overall funding level for defense science and research."
