W.Va. man guilty in deputy's death
A West Virginia man was convicted on Thursday of third-degree murder in the Feb. 18 death of Monongalia County Deputy Sheriff Sgt. Michael Todd May, resulting from a violent vehicle collision.
Greene County District Attorney Marjorie J. Fox announced the verdict in a release, noting Jerod Alan Green, 36, of Morgantown also was convicted of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, homicide by vehicle, fleeing or eluding a police officer and two counts of DUI.
A jury acquitted Green of the more serious charge of first-degree murder, Fox said.
Green was charged in connection with a high-speed police chase through the hills of northeastern West Virginia and into Greene County early Feb. 18.
Fox said Green, formerly of Oklahoma, was earlier involved in a hit-and-run accident in Morgantown.
Police initiated a traffic stop, but Green fled the scene, briefly dragging an officer who asked him to submit to a field sobriety test and turn off his vehicle's engine, Fox said.
The chase lasted nearly 30 minutes and stretched for nearly a dozen miles, police said.
May positioned his marked sport utility vehicle on Interstate 79 in Perry in Greene County, apparently hoping to stop the pursuit, police said.
Fox said Green attempted to avoid a head-on collision by entering I-79 from the berm. At the last minute, he turned right and struck May's vehicle.
Green was traveling 98 mph before the impact, Fox said.
May, a 10-year department veteran, died in Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown.
Green said he had been drinking and had taken four anti-anxiety drugs, including Lithium and Zoloft, according to police.
According to Oklahoma court records Green, who told police he was in West Virginia to work in the Marcellus shale gas drilling industry, had three convictions for drunken driving in Oklahoma and one for public intoxication. For the last conviction in 2007, he was sentenced to three years in an Oklahoma state prison.
Green's sentencing was deferred on Thursday, pending preparation of a pre-sentencing investigation.
Family photos show May, who was single, hunting, fishing and spending time with his young niece.
"(May) paid the ultimate price for upholding his oath to serve and protect the public," Fox said.

Roger Williams University, IYRS partner on program to offer IYRS graduates credits toward degree programs at university
International Yacht Restoration School
December 4, 2012
Filed under News
Press Release
Students who complete IYRS programs will be granted up to 30 credits toward bachelor's or associate degrees offered by RWU School of Continuing Studies
BRISTOL, R.I., Dec. 4, 2012 – As part of a strategy to offer students a direct pathway from experiential training programs focused on craftsmanship and technical skills to a comprehensive college education that results in an associate or bachelor's degree, Roger Williams University and marine trades and technology school IYRS have joined forces on a partnership that will allow IYRS graduates to apply elective credits toward degree programs offered at the University's School of Continuing Studies.
"Many of our younger students, passionate about working with their hands and building things, also want a two- or four-year degree that enriches their lives and offers broad opportunities," says IYRS President Terry Nathan. "Partnering with Roger Williams achieves this goal. RWU is a great school with a beautiful campus. Importantly, we share common values and educational principles."
Through the agreement, the University will award 15 credits to students who have completed the Marine Systems or Composite Technology programs at IYRS and matriculate in the bachelor of general studies, associate in arts or associate in science programs at Roger Williams. IYRS students who complete the two-year Boatbuilding & Restoration program will be granted 30 credits toward the bachelor of general studies or associate programs at RWU.
"We place tremendous value on offering our students access to classrooms comprised of individuals who bring a wide variety of perspectives, life experiences and skill sets to their studies," says Robert A. Cole, associate provost at Roger Williams. "Not only are we happy to offer IYRS students the chance to continue their education at RWU, but our current students will benefit greatly from the ideas offered by individuals dedicated to recapturing hands-on trade and craftsmanship skills."
The credits will be applied toward elective requirements in both the bachelor's and associate programs. Students who enroll in the bachelor of general studies program will be encouraged to pursue the Technology Leadership and Management concentration. In order to apply the IYRS credits, students must apply and be accepted to the University; the application fee will be waived for IYRS graduates.
For both Roger Williams University and IYRS, the intent is that the agreement to articulate academic credits serves as a foundation for more expansive engagement among the students from each school in the years ahead, particularly on projects with engineering or industrial technology components.
Individuals interested in learning more about IYRS programs and scholarship opportunities can visit www.iyrs.org, call the school's Admissions Department at (401) 848-5777 x216 or inquire via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Prospective students looking for additional details on the University's continuing studies programs can call (401) 254-3530 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

FBI investigation into possible security breach involving email revealed extramarital relationship
WASHINGTON CIA Director David Petraeus resigned Friday and admitted to having an extramarital affair, bringing a shocking end to his brief tenure at the spy agency and highly decorated national security career.
The affair came to light as part of an FBI investigation into a potential security breach involving Petraeus' emails, according to federal law enforcement officials and a former senior intelligence official. The investigation uncovered emails describing an affair between Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, a former military officer and co-author of a glowing biography of Petraeus, according to two law enforcement officials who were briefed on the investigation.
Petraeus, a retired four-star Army general who once was seen as a potential presidential candidate, met with President Barack Obama on Thursday and said he intended to step down because of the affair, Obama administration officials said. The president accepted his resignation Friday.
"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair," Petraeus said in a statement distributed to CIA staff members Friday.
"Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the president graciously accepted my resignation," he said.
A senior administration official said the White House learned on Wednesday that Petraeus had a potentially serious problem. The official said that Petraeus telephoned Thomas Donilon, the national security adviser, early Thursday and asked to meet with Obama.
The investigation is not expected to result in any accusations of criminal wrongdoing by Petraeus or Broadwell, according to the two law enforcement officials, who spoke on the condition that their names be withheld because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Paul Bresson, an FBI spokesman, refused to comment. Attempts to reach Broadwell were unsuccessful. A CIA spokesman declined to answer questions about the timing of the affair or Petraeus' decision to disclose it to the White House.
Current and former U.S. military officials said suspicions of infidelities had followed Petraeus for several years.
The sudden departure of Petraeus created turmoil in the administration's national security team just days after the president's re-election. That team was expected to see a series of changes in the coming months, but many believed that Petraeus would remain in his position.
In a statement, Obama said Petraeus has "provided extraordinary service to the United States for decades," adding that "through his lifetime of service David Petraeus has made our country safer and stronger."
The statement did not directly address Petraeus' reason for resigning, but the president said that his "thoughts and prayers are with Dave and Holly Petraeus, who has done so much to help military families through her own work. I wish them the very best at this difficult time."
Holly Petraeus is an assistant director of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where she is charged with advocating on behalf of service members and their families. She and her husband met in 1973 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where her father was superintendent.
Petraeus married Holly two months after graduating from West Point. His courtship was seen as audacious because of her father's rank at the elite military academy. They have two children, Stephen, who became an Army officer, and Anne.
Broadwell, who also is married, is a West Point graduate and a research associate at Harvard University. She is the co-author with Vernon Loeb of "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus."
In earlier interviews, Broadwell described meeting Petraeus in 2006 at Harvard, where she was working on a dissertation about leadership. She said they soon started emailing and discussing her research.
In the preface to the book, Broadwell said that after Obama picked Petraeus to lead U.S. forces in Afghanistan in June 2010, he invited her to Kabul and she decided to turn her dissertation into a biography. She made repeated trips to Afghanistan to spend time observing Petraeus.
In describing Petraeus in a CBS News interview two months ago, she said: "He, at the end of the day, is human and is challenged by the burdens of command.… So, he has this mask of command — you think he's really confident — but I got to see a more personal side. He's confident, but he's also very compassionate about the loss of troops and sacrifices we're making in Afghanistan."
Petraeus was scheduled to testify next week on Capitol Hill in hearings on the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador and two CIA security officers, in Libya in September.
U.S. officials insisted that the controversy surrounding the attack — and the administration's shifting accounts of it — played no role in Petraeus' decision to resign.
Petraeus' 14-month tenure as CIA director is one of the shortest in agency history.
Michael Morell, who served as Petraeus' deputy at the CIA, will serve as interim director, a position he occupied for several months before Petraeus was sworn in. Morell is seen as a leading candidate to replace Petraeus.
Petraeus came into the CIA job after a highly decorated Army career that included command of the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, which made him one of the most venerated officers of his generation.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Friday that she believed Petraeus' infidelity did not require him to resign.
"I wish President Obama had not accepted this resignation, but I understand and respect the decision," she said in a statement. She described Petraeus' resignation as an "enormous loss for our nation's intelligence community and for our country."
Petraeus, who retired from the military last year, is still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which classifies adultery as a crime.
Practically speaking, however, the odds are extremely low that the military would prosecute a retired officer for having an affair, said Eugene Fidell, a prominent military law expert who teaches at Yale University.
"They're as close to zero as you can get," Fidell said. "It would have to be a grave matter before the executive branch would prosecute a retiree."

Figure 2.
Connecting the circadian clock and the time-compensated sun compass to the brain of Danaus plexippus. (a) Top left: molecular mechanism that underlies the circadian clock in the Monarch within neurons of the Pars lateralis (PL). The positive transcription factors CLOCK (CLK) and CYCLE (CYC) bind to E-boxes (CACGTG) on the promoters of the period (per), and probably timeless (tim) and cryptochrome 2 (cry2) genes and activate transcription. In the evening, the PER/CRY2/TIM (P/C2/T) proteins form a complex in the cytoplasm, with PER being phosphorylated during the night phase. Further phosphorylation leads to PER/CRY2 entering the nucleus late at night and CRY2 repressing CLK-CYC mediated transcription. At dawn, light activates the CRY1 blue light photoreceptor with resulting degradation of TIM in the cytoplasm. It is not known whether TIM enters the nucleus in these neurons as CRY1-mediated TIM degradation would also provide a derepression mechanism at dawn. However, CRY2 also cycles and is at low levels during the day so it is conceivable that CRY1 also acts in the nucleus to send a degradation signal to CRY2 at dawn. Top right: light stimulates receptors to UV polarized light in the dorsal rim (DR) of the retina. A CRY1 expressing pathway (double headed, orange) connects the DR to the circadian clock in the PL (and perhaps vice-versa), which in turn uses a CRY2 pathway (blue arrow) to connect with the central body (CB), which may house the sun compass that mediates navigation. There may also be a direct pathway (pink arrow) between the DR and the compass. (b) Schematic representation of neurons and fibers expressing different circadian clock proteins in monarch butterfly brain. Regions expressing TIM, PER, CRY1 and/or CRY2 are highlighted in red. In these areas the four clock proteins partially colocalize. Areas expressing TIM or CRY1 are indicated in green. In these regions the two clock proteins do not colocalize. CRY1 positive fibers are represented by continuous orange lines. Projections of dorsal rim area photoreceptors are indicated by dotted orange lines. Neurons and fibers expressing exclusively CRY2 are represented in blue and within the central body are shown as blue circles and blue hatching. Areas positive exclusively to TIM and PER are indicated in light blue and brown, respectively.

Introducing, The Inked Leaf
by Wendy
My home sweet home is in Baltimore, Maryland {or wherever and whenever I'm with my supportive and hilarious husband, Ryan, and our incredibly adorable tiny chihuahuas, Chutley and Ivy}. My family is originally from the island of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, and many of my relatives still live there. My first international flight was when I was 10 months old, and for the past twenty-five years, I've continued to travel around the globe!
Through my business, The Inked Leaf, I provide custom-designed printed and printable products for just about everything {birthdays, weddings, holiday cards, you name it!}, as well as gifts for anniversaries, housewarmings, weddings, and more!

No flipping through pages of items that were pre-designed for someone else. You are completely unique and one-of-a-kind – and your stationery should be too!
I started my business after our 9/10/11 wedding. My husband Ryan chose the wedding date – he wanted something truly "unforgettable!" =) Before our wedding, I had my BFA in Graphic Design and was working as a multi-media designer in Baltimore. During wedding planning, my absolute favorite part of it all was the stationery, everything from caricature save the date cards to our favors {mini recipe books with meals from some of our monumental moments – the first dinner he cooked for me, our engagement party, and more!}. I could design for hours and time would fly by!
After we were married, friends and family members asked me to help with their own weddings and special events. When I started getting requests from people I hadn't even met, that's when I knew I could turn this into a business!
Because I want your stationery to be truly unique, I always try to find out what makes you YOU before I start a personally crafted custom-creation. If I could describe my own personality in one word – I would say "dreamer!" I'm always looking to the future, and believing in the impossible. So… that's me! I am so excited to be designing for YOU and would love to get to know you, too.
This month, I'm offering a FREE giveaway of 20 completely custom-designed caricature note cards using one of your family pictures!

Nabucco: 'Pie in the sky' after Georgia crisis?
The EU's flagship Nabucco pipeline project, which aims to bring gas to Europe from countries other than Russia, notably via Georgian territory, appears to be up in the air due to the crisis currently pitting Moscow against Tbilisi.
The Georgia crisis prompted many analysts to look at the situation on the ground "with their energy spectacles on". While most commentators stop short of saying that the main thrust of the Russian advance in Georgia was pipeline politics, all seem to agree that doubt has been cast as to the reliability of Georgia as a major transit country to bring oil and gas supplies to Europe. In particular, the Nabucco gas pipeline is seen as a direct victim of the developments.
Georgian officials have been complaining for a long time that their country has become a victim of pipeline politics. President Mikheil Saakashvili reportedly claimed that the very fact that Georgia is already home to an oil line, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, designed with the precise aim of circumventing Russia in mind, was a major reason for the Russian assault.
One branch of the BTC, which runs from Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea through Georgia and then on to Turkey's Mediterranean coast for shipment, ends at the Georgian port of Supsa, which was blockaded by the Russian navy during the current crisis.
"Russia is showing it controls this corridor," says Giorgi Vashakmadze, an energy executive in Georgia, quoted by the Wall Street Journal. "The Caspian region is wondering what this means for the future," laments Vashakmadze.
"After the military conflict with Russia, Georgia cannot be marked on oil and gas maps as a safe transit route, and no amount of support from NATO can change this alteration," says Pavel K. Baev, research professor at the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo, quoted by the Moscow Times.
Regarding the Nabucco project, Ed Chow of the Center for Strategic and International Studies is quoted by the Washington Post as saying Russia has raised serious doubts in the minds of Western lenders and investors that such a pipeline through Georgia would be safe from attack or beyond control of the Kremlin. He adds that this pipeline "has always looked more like a diplomats' pipe dream than a viable economic project".
"Its promoters had not only failed to secure supply and transit agreements but also had yet to identify an oil company eager to champion the project and finance the pipeline," states Chow.
The press agency Forbes also notes that while Russian troops are still in Georgia, the Russian state-controlled natural gas monopoly Gazprom has offered to buy all of Azerbaijan's gas exports. If Azerbaijan agrees, it could spell disaster for Western plans to decrease reliance on Russian supplies of natural gas. But, as with Russia's occupation of Georgia, the West will have little opportunity to stop the deal, says a Forbes analysis.
EU dependency on Russian gas imports is currently at 40% and is expected to rise considerably in the coming decades unless supply sources are diversified and/or greater emphasis is placed on locally generated renewable sources of energy.
The Union, which is also strongly dependent on Russia for its oil, has already borne the brunt of Moscow's 'pipeline politics', notably when the country cut gas deliveries to Ukraine (in 2006 and again in 2008) and switched off the oil tap to Belarus, leaving several European countries without a supply (EurActiv 11/01/07).
The US has long been pushing for the construction of oil and natural gas pipelines from the Caspian basin that would bypass Russia, especially via Georgia.
But Russian President Vladimir Putin ended his term by sealing a deal on the South Stream gas pipeline, a project perceived as a rival to the EU's flagship Nabucco pipeline (EurActiv 30/04/08). At the same time, Russia is offering deals to countries from the Caspian basin to buy their gas "at world market price".
Sergei Blagov from the International Relations and Security Network in Zurich argues that in order to attain their goal of weakening the reliability of Georgia as a transit country, the Russian military had in fact no need to hit the pipelines. He says that "a mere demonstration of force apparently was enough to put tremendous psychological pressure on both suppliers and consumers". "During the conflict, Russia's Black Sea Fleet patrolled Georgia's coast, apparently indicating that the task to transport crude oil from ports to international markets could become a challenging objective," Blagov elaborates further.
Steve Mufson of the Washington Post writes that one European oil company executive told him that the Nabucco project was simply "not a doable project because there is not enough gas to justify the investment," at least without Iranian gas coming into it. "The only thing that can make it viable is by using Iranian gas," the oil executive further elaborated, adding that otherwise it is a "pie in the sky." American policymakers, he said, "want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to keep Europe from using Russian gas and they want to keep Iran in a corner too".
Dr. Brenda Shaffer, an expert on the Caucasus from Haifa University, is quoted by the daily Haaretz as saying that the West "can now forget" about the Nabucco project. "We can forget about that project now. Russia has made that very clear. Russia did not invade Kazakhstan, but rather a small country that is a bottleneck between Central Asia and the West. No one will want to take the risk of angering the Russians again," said Shaffer.
Peter Charles Choharis from the American Security Project writes for the Wall Street Journal that as a response to the Georgia crisis, the US needs to use its diplomatic and financial clout to put forward alternative energy routes. "Washington must make financing and constructing the Nabucco gas pipeline a top priority," Choharis writes.

As governments and school districts continue to grapple with budget issues - both short-term and long-term - more of them are coming to a realization. They can't afford the same kind of retirement benefits they've been giving.
The Appleton Area School District is no exception. The school board is considering a proposal to cut back on benefit costs for future retirees.
Retirees currently get one year of health insurance benefits for every three years they worked for the school district. The proposal would increase that to every five years, and employees would have to work for AASD for 10 years to be eligible to collect the benefits. Also, the retirement-eligible age would gradually increase from 55 to 58, and the amount the district pays in health insurance benefits for each retiree would be capped at the 2015-16 level.
Teachers and other staff might understandably view this proposal as another hit, after they've been required to contribute to their pensions and contribute more to their health-insurance premiums.
But post-retirement health care benefits - and pensions themselves - are largely a quaint memory in the private sector. The rules have changed throughout the business world - much of it has already taken this hit.
And the reality is that governments and school districts simply can't afford to fund retirement benefits at the same level as in the past. AASD is facing an unfunded liability of as much as $124 million in the next 30 years if it makes no changes.
We trust the school board will agree that now is the time.

Cross your fingers...it really is a beautiful house and I can't wait to see it brought back to its original splendor. I will update you on what happens late in October.

State of the Birds
The 2014 State of the Birds assesses the health of our nation's bird populations through a set of habitat indicators, a Watch List of species most vulnerable to extinction, and a list of the Common Birds in Steep Decline. Habitat indicators are based on the population changes of obligate bird species--those birds restricted to a single habitat--where long-term monitoring data is available. Read the report, news release, and list of common birds in steep decline at http://www.stateofthebirds.org/.
Since Audubon Washington released the first State of the Birds report in May 2004, National Audubon and its partners have followed up with similar reports at the national level.
Like the proverbial canaries in coal mines, the state of our birds holds implications for our own health and quality of life as well.
People can take steps individually, locally, nationally and internationally to protect birds. Examples include: planting bird-friendly native vegetation, taking part in the Audubon Christmas Bird Count, monitoring a nearby Important Bird Area, taking political action, using the Great Washington State Birding Trail, and buying shade-grown, organic coffee, which helps protect bird habitat.

Released March 23, 2005
HATTIESBURG – Dr.
William K. Scarborough, professor of history at The University of
Southern Mississippi, recently joined an elite group of scholars
who have received the Mississippi Historical Society's highest honor,
when he was presented with the B.L.C. Wailes Award at the society's
annual meeting March 3-5 in Jackson.
The award, named for the society's founder, is given
to a native Mississippian or a person with Mississippi connections
who has achieved national recognition in historical research. Past
winners of the award include Civil War historian and acclaimed novelist
Shelby Foote and David Donald, the Charles Warren Professor of American
History at Harvard University and a leading authority on Abraham
"I don't know if I should be mentioned in the
same breath as (Foote or Donald), but it reaffirms that maybe I've
been doing something right, and it's very gratifying and pleasing
to receive such an honor in the twilight of my career," said
Scarborough, who has been a member of the Southern Miss faculty
since 1965.
His publications include the award-winning The Overseer:
Plantation Management in the Old South and Masters of the Big House:
Elite Slaveholders of the Mid-Nineteenth Century South.
A former Mississippi Historical Society president,
Scarborough was the 1993 winner of the society's Willie D. Halsell
Prize and was awarded the Richard Wright Literary Excellence Award
at the Natchez Literary and Cinema Celebration in 2004. He is also
a former Charles W. Moorman Distinguished Alumni Professor in the
Humanities at Southern Miss.
"Dr. Scarborough certainly deserves this recognition,"
said Dr. Chuck Bolton, chair of the Southern Miss Department of
History. "He has had a long and productive career as a scholar.
Meticulously researched and clearly written, the body of work Scarborough
has created over the last 40 years has significantly added to our
understanding of the world of the antebellum South."

Singer, Michael Bolton is looking pretty good at age 60, and it must be related to his vegetarian diet, which he adopted 42 years ago.
In an interview with DailyMail, Bolton was asked if he got his 5 servings of fruits and veggies every day. Bolton replied, "I've been a vegetarian for 42 years, so yes. I used to love meat, especially double cheeseburgers, but decided I didn't want to ingest saturated fat or the hormones used in cows. I love pasta, pizza and ice-cream, but too much sweet dairy induces catarrh and affects my voice."
DailyMail may have been seeking a more scandalous reply to their question of "Pop any pills?" to the singer. Bolton's response was, "I take vitamin C daily, which helps with jet lag, and I travel with 100 percent vegetarian multi-vitamins in case I feel run down. I have regular medicals – once, I was low on iron and another time in B12. I adjusted my diet, took vitamins and that never happened again."
Check out the rest of Bolton's interview where he talks about his love of sports and his focus on personal health.

Philpott trial: Court hears Philpott was 'adamant' he did not want to go with seriously-ill Duwayne in ambulance
Posted: February 23, 2013|
MICK Philpott did not want to travel with dying son Duwayne to a hospital in Birmingham, the court was told.
A police officer said the father-of-17 seemed more interested in his impending custody battle with former lover Lisa Willis.
PC Kevin Cassidy told how he volunteered to act as an interim family liaison officer at Derby Royal Hospital, where Duwayne was taken immediately after the fire.
The 13-year-old was seriously ill and later died.

PC Cassidy said Philpott told him his version of the events that night. PC Cassidy said: "Mr Philpott told me he was at home with his wife and six children. He said he played snooker with a friend called Shaky, who I now know to be Paul Mosley.
"He said Mr Mosley left at 12.45am and he and his wife started watching a film on the settee in the conservatory.
"He told me he could not remember what film it was but that they had fallen asleep."
PC Cassidy said Philpott told him he was woken by the fire alarm.
"He said he went to the kitchen door and the glass was smashed," he told the court.
"He then stated that he went out into the garden and put a ladder up against one of the bedroom windows at the back of the house.
"He said he went up the ladder and tried to smash the window with a tennis racquet. He told me this didn't work so he went back down the ladder and grabbed a monkey wrench and went back up again and smashed the window.
"He told me thick smoke came out and he got back down the ladder."
Nottingham Crown Court heard that Philpott was speaking to PC Cassidy in hospital after learning that five of the six children he had with Mairead had died.
The sixth, Duwayne, was in the process of being prepared to be transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital.
Richard Latham QC, prosecuting, asked PC Cassidy about Philpott's demeanour.
PC Cassidy said: "He was very calm. There was very little emotion."
Mr Latham said: "How was he when he was told that Duwayne was to be transferred to Birmingham?"
PC Cassidy said: "He did not want to go to Birmingham at all.
"He said to me that he could not go as he had a court appearance that morning for the custody of his other children. I told him I would speak to the court about this and that I was sure there would be no problem."
Mr Latham said: "Did you emphasise how important it was that he went with Duwyane?"
PC Cassidy said: "Yes, but he was adamant he did not want to go."
PC Cassidy said he then agreed to go, and later, as he and Mairead were preparing to depart in the ambulance, Philpott told him they were "going to get a quick coffee".
PC Cassidy said: "He walked out of the A&E building and they were gone for a good 20 to 30 minutes.
"The doctor came out and asked where they were. When they came back Mick had no shirt on – he said, 'I've spilled some coffee down it'."
Earlier yesterday PC Joanne Steele gave evidence in court.
She told the jury she was with the Philpotts at one of their neighbour's houses in the immediate aftermath of the fire.
She said: "I can remember Mairead being hysterical. She did not say anything to me, she was shaking uncontrollably.
"Mick seemed upset, but he also seemed to be pacing up and down anxiously."
PC Steele told how Mrs Philpott started to hyperventilate and the officer asked the householder if they had a paper bag to help her breathe properly.
PC Steele said Philpott told her about the situation he had with former mistress Lisa Willis.
She said: "It was mentioned that Lisa Willis had previously made threats to the family. He said she had threatened to kill them or set their house on fire."

This portrait of Erich Kunzel, featuring his signature Pops sign, hangs in Music Hall, where he conducted many of his concerts. / The Enquirer / Michael E. Keating
The memorial concert celebrating the life of Cincinnati Pops founder and conductor Erich Kunzel will be held 7 p.m. Monday at Music Hall.
The 90-minute memorial concert, as envisioned by the Pops maestro before he died, will include celebrated opera star Frederica von Stade, who recorded "The Sound of Music" with Kunzel and the Pops.
Five conductors will lead the Pops, including three of Kunzel's protégés: Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart, Pops associate conductor and New York Pops conductor Steven Reineke and Vince Lee, assistant conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
The symphony's music director, Paavo Järvi, and May Festival director of choruses Robert Porco also will take turns on the podium. The May Festival Chorus and students from the School for Creative & Performing Arts will perform, and there will be a video tribute created by CET.
The Music Hall concert is a free event, but tickets are required. No tickets remain in Music Hall, which seats 3,417, but about 350 seats remain in Music Hall's Ballroom seating 1,300 for a live simulcast on two giant screens.
And for the first time, the concert will be beamed live to Fountain Square, where no tickets are required. The simulcast is made possible by Cincinnati Bell, CET (Channel 48), WGUC-FM (90.9) and Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC).
Memorial books will be available for the public to sign in Music Hall's lobby and ballroom, as well as on Fountain Square. The Pops' "Legacy Collection" CD will be sold at Music Hall for $20.
The 74-year-old Kunzel died on Sept. 1 of cancer, after a career of 44 years with the orchestra. Obtain free tickets at the CSO Box Office, Music Hall, 1241 Elm St., or call 513-381-3300.

I can write, instead: navtree.addPage("Setup", new SetupPage()); navtree.addPage("About", new AboutPage()); For me it looks the same. The later is even better: a) no need for fancy UI builder. b) no reflection. Which is nice when I hit CTRL+SHIFT+G on Eclipse to find all code that uses my class. And I can safely obfuscate my JAR. c) it's much more easy to alter individual objects. This kind of "automation" still requires individual pages coded. I can't just change XML and it will not start working unless I provide all those classes needed. I went that "XML automation" way before but now more and more I think it's not that good. It just creates jobs In short I am now against XML that will not change application behaviour without additional coding. I would like to ask you, what do you think on this topic? Am I right or wrong and why? Vladas

Is Mitch McConnell already losing his reelection campaign? That's what a new poll from the Louisville Courier-Journal released Tuesday suggests. According to the survey of 609 registered voters in Kentucky, just 17 percent say they would vote to reelect the Republican and Senate minority leader, with 34 percent saying they will vote against him. Forty-four percent, meanwhile, say they will "wait and see" who will challenge McConnell in 2014 before making a decision. The firm Survey USA conducted the poll for the newspaper.
Other news outlets have highlighted the poll as a sign the senior senator from Kentucky is in for a tough reelection battle. But a campaign spokesman for McConnell, who will be seeking his sixth term in the Senate next year, says the Courier-Journal's conclusions from the poll are bogus.
"The fact that they'd put a single skewed poll question on the front-page of a newspaper shows that they're far more interested in inflicting damage to Sen. McConnell than preserving any appearance of journalistic standards," said Jesse Benton, McConnell's campaign manager. "Anybody with a basic knowledge of polls knows that the question they were asking was only meant to drive a headline. This is advocacy journalism at its worst."
A better indicator of McConnell's strength, allies say, is his approval rating. A Survey USA poll from last October showed half of likely voters in Kentucky approve of the Republican, including 18 percent who "strongly" approve. Forty-three percent said they disapproved, including 28 percent who "strongly" disapprove.
Furthermore, Republicans point to a Survey USA poll from April 2011 that asked a question similar to the Courier-Journal poll's about President Barack Obama. At the time, only 26 percent of respondents said they would vote for him, while 34 percent said they would vote against him. A full 35 percent, however, said they would want to "see the ballot" before making a decision. Eighteen months later, Americans reelected Obama, giving him 51.1 percent of the vote.
Nevertheless, McConnell could face significant opposition--from both the left and the right. Kentuckians have consistently voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 2000 and have elected only Republicans to the Senate since 1998. But Democrats remain strong in the state, outnumbering Republicans with registered voters and having a hold on the state's governorship and its house of representatives. McConnell won reelection in 2008 with 53 percent of the vote, his lowest share of the vote since 1990. Still, if Democrats could find a strong candidate and the party has a good year nationwide, McConnell could have a serious race on his hands.
That is, if he wins the GOP primary. As Politico's Manu Raju reported earlier this week, Democrats are helping recruit a right-wing challenge to McConnell in his own primary. "We are doing a lot of reaching out to some of the tea party folks across the state," Keith Rouda the Democratic super PAC, Progress Kentucky, told Raju. "What we're finding — at least in this stage of the race — we're finding that our interests align. It's unusual."

A letter writer this week bemoaned the "computerization" of America as an assault upon the moral fiber of our people. That letter came in response to a story last Sunday on friends meeting via e-mail.
The author, who boasted of completing high school and college without so much as operating a calculator or computer a single time, had what I'd term an overwrought reaction to the high-speed connectivity of our times.
I can sympathize, though.
This week, Sony disclosed all 60 of its portable music devices will now carry the Walkman label.
The reason?
"Walkman" is an antiquated term now, one which Generation Y shoppers those from 14 to 24 years old equate with "analog tapes and clunky yellow tape players," according to a Sony executive.
First off, I can't even name six kinds of portable music devices, let alone 60. Hats off to Sony for thinking up that many uses for music on the go.
Secondly, how can Walkman be antiquated?
I vividly remember walking into a Metairie, La., electronics store when Walkmans first entered the world so my college roommate could be one of the first on the dorm room floor to actually possess one of these cutting-edge gadgets.
And now, 100 million units later, Sony complains about the brand name being frozen in time. To move forward, the company plans an ad campaign aimed at MTV and Rolling Stone audiences. In it, a hip music-loving alien visits Earth bearing good tidings and portable music devices. The star of "The Walkman Has Landed" commercials is named Plato.
Talk about your alien concepts of time.
In future times, our budding Gen Y listeners who find Walkmans quaint and eight-track tapes prehistoric will struggle with their own anachronisms.
Some of those struggles will deal with grocery stores.
The Gen Y senior citizens may not even frequent them in 2050, but they'll yearn for the time they did as children.
A recent issue of Consumer Reports dresses down grocers nationwide and ranks them for courtesy, prices, checkout and cleanliness. The best store in the land with top scores in every category but prices is Raley's, a 147-store chain in the Far West.
While Raley's prices are merely average, prices are the only thing that grocery warehouses such as Sam's Club and Costco score higher on than traditional grocers. On a scale of 100, Raley's rated an 83 with Albertson's a 74 and Kroger a 73.
But the telling sidebar in Consumer Reports' "Food fight" was a spotlight on online grocers.
One of the emerging Internet-access grocers, Webvan, gained highest marks for ease of use especially easy the second time, the magazine said and wide variety, including freshly baked breads, prepared foods, gourmet selections and 44 choices of potato chips. In short, a computer geek's food heaven.
In a few years, when Webvan spans more than California and Atlanta, the online selection may be enough to make even a Gen Y grocery shopper feel old.
I'm still struggling with the frightening prospect that both major party candidates for president this year belong to my generation.
It's a depressing thought, to be sure, but at least one of them invented the Information Superhighway. Or is old enough to think he did.
