JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- Prosecution of a murder case in East Tennessee has been plagued by the illnesses of both the defendant and the judge.
The Johnson City Press reported a retrial of the first-degree murder charge against 43-year-old Poncho Delgado is now set to begin Friday in Jonesborough.
Delgado was 37 at the time 41-year-old Robert Curtis was fatally stabbed and his home burned.
Delgado went to trial, but it ended in mistrial after one day of testimony. First Judicial District Criminal Court Judge Robert Cupp fell ill and was hospitalized. It took almost a month for a mistrial to be declared.
Delgado has also been ill with multiple health issues and has spent time at a hospital for state inmates in Nashville.

I have experience with all children, all the way from newborn babies to 13-year-olds. For all four years of my high school, I volunteered at my church in the children's ministry. Every Sunday, I would watch and teach the children as their parents were in church. I was also in girl scouts for 9 years and was given the chance to be a leader at their camps. I gained a lot of experience from those camps. I truly love children they brighten my day.

by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Demi Lovato was all smiles tonight, with Joe Jonas on her arm and seriously shiny hair. The 17-year-old kept things classy with subtly smoky eye makeup and nude-pink lip gloss. It's more of a grown-up look than one might expect from a Disney star, but she's not a little girl anymore. Do you like this look on her?

mercibeaucoup1 5 years
Her makeup is pretty! It's doesn't look heavy and it's age appropiate! && I agree that her eyebrows do look a tad bit funny. I think her makeup artist over did it with the eyebrow pencil because it LOOKS like they've been filled in && it's supposed to look natural. But other than that, it's very pretty. I might try something like this when I go shopping for new makeup.
Bettye-Wayne 5 years
I think it is the brows. Talent aside, she is so beautiful. I LOVE her hair.
genesisrocks 5 years
Beautiful hair but there's always something about her makeup that bothers me. Brows maybe?
EmilieLove 5 years
I love the pale lips, dewy skin, and smokey eyes. The one thing I'm on the fence about is that her eyebrows seem overly filled-in too me. It's nice to see a Disney Channel star growing up and doing a slightly edgier, but still age-appropriate look. Miley, take note.

Abstract Background. Low serum total cholesterol is frequently associated with worse survival in older people, but mechanisms of this association are poorly understood. Aims. Characteristics of cholesterol metabolism were related to survival in a random 75 + population sample. Methods. Serum cholesterol and lathosterol, and sitosterol were measured in random persons (n = 623) of birth cohorts (1904, 1909, and 1914) in 1990, and all persons were followed for 17 years. Results. Total cholesterol declined in old age, and low cholesterol was associated with poor health and multi-morbidity. Cholesterol below 5.0 mmol/L was associated with accelerated all-cause mortality (age- and gender-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.54; 95% CI 1.21-1.97; P < 0.001) and vascular mortality (HR 2.13 (1.42-3.07); P < 0.001). Lathosterol (indicating cholesterol synthesis) and sitosterol (indicating cholesterol absorption) also decreased with deteriorating health. Low lathosterol, sitosterol, and cholesterol predicted mortality additively and independently of each other. When all three sterols were high (> median) or low, the age- and gender-adjusted survival was 9.9 and 5.6 years (P < 0.001). Conclusion. Lower synthesis and absorption of cholesterol, and low serum cholesterol level are associated with deteriorating health and indicate impaired survival in old age.

Snapchat hack has users thinking twice
A recent hack into Snapchat, the social media platform for photo sharing, has users thinking twice about giving personal information to these services.
Snapchat is a mobile app that allows users to send and receive "self-destructing" photos and videos. Photos and videos taken with the app are called Snaps. The sender determines how many seconds (1-10) the recipient can view the Snap before the file disappears from the recipient's device.
Facebook launches Slingshot, a Snapchat rival

Rep: Bobby Brown in rehab after March DUI arrest
FILE - In this Feb. 18, 2012 file photo, singer Bobby Brown, former husband of the late Whitney Houston performs with New Edition at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn. Brown's representative said in an email Thursday that the R&B singer checked into a "confidential rehabilitation center" last week as part of his agreement following his March arrest for drunk driving in Los Angeles. Brown's three misdemeanors charges included two DUI-related counts and another for driving on a suspended license. His publicist said Brown's agreement with the State of California included that he "partake and receive services relating to alcohol use." His attorney Christopher Brown said in a statement that Brown "takes his agreement very seriously." (AP Photo/Joe Giblin, file)
NEW YORK (AP) — Bobby Brown has checked himself into rehab.
Brown's representative said in an email Thursday that the R&B singer checked into a "confidential rehabilitation center" last week as part of his agreement following his March arrest for drunken driving in Los Angeles.
His publicist says that Brown's plea agreement in the case requires that he requires that he get treatment for alcohol use. His attorney Christopher Brown says in a statement that Brown "takes his agreement very seriously."
The 43-year-old singer is the former husband of Whitney Houston, who died this year. He married his manager Alicia Etheredge-Brown in June.
Brown still plans to perform scheduled solo concerts and tour with his group New Edition. His first album in 14 years came out this summer.

I'm 36 weeks and the Dr. said I'm 1-2 cm and 75-80% effaced!!....He said I probably won't go to my May 9th due date! BTDT moms, how long do youi think I have to go!? A couple days or could I go 4 more weeks?? The Dr. didn't really tell me anything. I'm feeling a little crampy, too, but I'm a FTM so no idea what to expect. Thanks!!

Your OB didn't tell you anything because no one knows, everyone is different. Some here are dilated to 5-6cm already and still completely pregnant. Being dilated doesn't mean anything.

Oh ok, you're due 1 day after me! I guess I probably have some time to go.
FTM Due May 9, 2012
With my first I walked around at 4cm and 80% for 5 weeks! Each week they would tell me that it was my week to have her! Nope! I got induced at 41 weeks 6 days!
When I got checked on Tuesday (I was 35wks6days) My doc said I was 1 cm dilated but I was 100% effaced and he also told me I won't make it to my May 9th due date! Hang in there! I'm a FTM too and I have no idea when I'll go into labor either!

I am at my wits end with my twins. They are so completely opposite of their older brothers personality and I just have no experience with kids who just will not listen to me. They are all over the place and into everything and no matter how many times I tell them we don't do something or no, or even smack their hand, do timeout, whatever it doesn't phase them and they do the same thing 12 times the next day.
I spend my whole day screaming because I'm just so frustrated and can't deal with it anymore. They climb on EVERYTHING and of course this leads to daily injuries but it doesn't phase them at all. We took most of the furniture out of the livingroom for their safety but even what's little is left they find a way to make dangerous. If there is nothing really to climb on they make something to climb on. Piling up toys or whatever they have access to.
One of them likes to pull hair. Particularly his 4 year old brother's hair. And nothing I've tried will make him stop. I resorted to smacking his hand and he cried twice and now he laughs at it. I'm trying now to almost ignore it. Like not say anything at all just very quietly without giving him any real attention take his hand away and get my four year old where he's out of reach. Too soon to tell if that is helping, but they obviously love the attention negative or not.
My ODS was such an obedient, easy kid this is throwing me for a loop that I have two difficult toddlers. Everything is a fight with them. They don't like to sit still for diaper changes so it's like a wrestling match trying to hold them down and change a poopy diaper and while I'm doing this with one the other will come up and try to grab the poop out of the dirty diaper or grab his brother's poop butt, etc. And no matter how times I say no it's completely useless. They flip out when I try to get them dressed or put their jacket on and when I get them into their carseats. Although once in the carseat they are awesome and will stay in a stroller/carseat for hours well behaved. I guess that's one plus.
I have just got them sleeping pretty well in the last couple months. They used to wake every hour (each so I was up every 30 minutes) for nights on end. Now they wake 1-2 times each and occasionally will STTN. I thought things would get easier once we were all sleeping better, but I'm just as much if not more on edge now because of their behavior.
I think this winter of all of us being sick for months on end is also taking it's toll on me. I'm just so exhausted and I don't want to be this person who is always yelling and losing her temper but these kids have me so overwhelmed.
So how do you do it? How do you get 19 month olds to respond to discipline or to just listen in general? I never wanted to spank and what little I tried with the hairpulling was a huge fail. They don't seem to understand the concept of timeout and the only place I can really keep them apart is their crib but they don't mind being put their so it isn't punishment. They laugh at the word NO, so I try what I did with ODS which was more of "We don't do x, y, z, but I'm not sure they understand that.
My greatest fear is this is not a phase at all. My twins have been difficult one way or another since birth and I just think I'm doomed here.
Anyone deal with difficult toddlers and find a way to handle them?

Each of the four sex scenes is nice and hot with plenty of chemistry as Allie Haze, Lolly Ink, Phoenix Marie, and Sindy Lange each take on a nice big cock. Unfortunately the DVD overall suffers due to a substandard non-anamorphic widescreen transfer and barely any effort put into the extras.

Explore the six string quartets of Bela Bartók through the vision of the Emerson String Quartet in this amalgamation of video footage, written commentary, and animated score. Much of the video was taken during a workshop given by the Emerson members in 2003 and has been supplemented with additional video of Emerson members and others speaking about the quartets.
About the Emerson Quartet and the Bartók String Quartets
The six string quartets of Béla Bartók have been central to the repertoire of the Emerson String Quartet for over 25 years. Their first performance of the complete cycle came early in their careers in 1979. Their 1988 recording of the cycle won a Grammy Award that year. Recently they gave marathon performances of all six quartets in one concert at Alice Tully Hall and at the Aspen Music Festival. In this website they share publicly the accumulated insights of their career performing and living with the quartets.

Five reasons Cowboys Stadium won't land Super Bowl LII
Photo: AJ Mast/AP
Stiff competition: The race for the 2018 Super Bowl has become a crowded one. Among the cities expected to bid are Indianapolis, Minnesota, New Orleans, Tampa, and Atlanta, and plenty of them could have more pull than Dallas. Atlanta and Minnesota are expected to have brand new stadiums. Indianapolis is fresh off hosting one of the most success Super Bowls in history. New Orleans wants the game to coincide both with the city's 300th anniversary and Mardi Gras.

It won't be Bradley Cooper, but could one of these actors replace Harrison Ford in a future Indiana Jones film?
Chill out internet, Bradley Cooper will not be playing Indiana Jones in a reboot of the movies, we repeat, he will not be playing Indiana Jones! Rumours that the Silver Linings Playbook actor would replace Harrison Ford for a fifth Indiana Jones film have been staunchly denied by all involved. Although we have to admit, we reckon Bradley would make a pretty great Indy. At least think about it, Disney?
It's nowhere near certain that a new Indiana Jones film is in the works, but if there is, and they are looking to replace veteran star Ford, then we suggest one of these actors instead.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt gets our vote to play Indiana Jones
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is currently one of the hottest Hollywood actors and while he may only be 33, over his 26 year career he's played a huge variety of roles. He's proven that he has the credentials to play an action role as well, starring in Looper and The Dark Knight Rises. He's always energetic in his roles and has proven in stints such as 3rd Rock from the Sun that he's also a superb comic actor. Gordon-Levitt is our number one choice to play the next Indiana Jones.
Is Matt Damon Indiana Jones material?
Matt Damon has proved countless times that he's a versatile actor with a real flair for action. Damon's days as Jason Bourne are enough to prove to anyone that he's a natural in the stunt department, plus it's hard not to like him in anything he does. He just seems like an all round nice guy. Whether this is enough to bag him the role of Indiana Jones, we're not sure.
Is manly Labor Day star Josh Brolin a good choice to play Indy?
Admit it folks, Josh Brolin just looks like he should be Indiana Jones. Not only is he a virtuoso actor, he's also got that masculine action star look to him, we can totally imagine him swinging through a temple, clutching a priceless relic in one hand and Marion Ravenwood in the other.
Could British Clive Owen fill Harrison Ford's boots?
He may be a Brit but Clive Owen is the type of rugged, masculine actor that would be ideal to play Indiana Jones. But does he have the necessary comedic streak to play the adventuring professor? Owen was once considered to play James Bond, and what is Indiana Jones but Bond in a temple?
Disney are probably going to be pretty busy with the whole Star Wars Episode VII thing, so we doubt that a new Indiana Jones movie is going to be coming out anytime soon. In the meantime all we want to know is whether Harrison Ford would be up for reprising the role. With rumours that he'll once again be behind the steering wheel (if that's what you could call it) of the Millennium Falcon, he could be set to have a very busy few years if a fifth Indiana Jones film is thrown into the mix as well.

Bill Resnick talks with Max Richtman, president of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare , who clarifies that Social Security is an earned benefit, and the program is not broke or breaking. The current program can continue paying full benefits for twenty years; and with a slight adjustment of the payroll cap, it can continue long after that. (Currently, only the first $113,000 of income is taxed, no matter whether someone's total income is $113,000 or $113,000,000). Half of all Social Security beneficiaries rely on the program for 90 % of their income, though the average benefit is only about $13,000 per year. Bill and Max discuss how chained CPI would reduce benefits.

The state found me on the streets alone when I was two years old. I had lice, was suffering from malnutrition, and cigarette burns covered my body. While in the foster care system, I went through seven foster homes in which I continued to endure abuse. When I was four, a loving family adopted me. Because of my abuse, I had severe scarring all over my body, and my adoptive parents had to put vitamin E oil on me each night before I went to bed. As I got older, the state provided information regarding my abusive family history, but by that time my heart was hardened and guarded. When I became a teen, my parents were unable to emotionally reach me. They sent me to boarding school, but I left and ended up on the streets.

Whose MIL in a brand new white SUV parked on the upramp for the 4th floor of the parking structure to take my spot as I walked up with baby in the stroler?
Yeah 5 cars went around her because she just HAD to have my spot. I took my sweet time getting my currently light sensitive baby out of this stroller-infant carrier and settled into his seat. He was settled till your MIL honked her horn. So I sat and sung to him then went out and broke down the stroller about 3 minutes later. Took my time organizing my trunk too and putting the stroller and infant carrier inside. Bitch MIL was honking her horn like shit was on fire. So I sat in my car for a few minutes adjusting my mirror, putting chapstick on and getting a piece of gum so i didnt get out and beat the hell out of her.
Funny as I was pulling out I blocked her car a little (because a car was driving down a ramp and I couldnt back up enough to go down I had to pull around) so she couldnt pull forward and someone who had gone around her and was about to park on of the open spaces on the side pulled into my spot because the bitch had been holding up cars for about 8 minutes now.
I had to throw my head back and laugh at that one. Serioulsy this is a 5 floor parking garage with PLENTY of free spaces on this level and the next she didnt need to block upcoming cars because she wanted where I was. If shes yours kindly tell parking right next to a DO NOT STOP sign will get her a ticket.

Why San Francisco Is Trying to Grow All of Its Lemons
A project called Just One Tree has a singular but ambitious goal: to make sure San Francisco grows all the lemons it consumes. To do this, the community will need to produce 461 tons of lemons annually—that's a lot of lemons! But Dr. Isabel Wade, founder and executive director of Just One Tree, thinks it's possible. She's put together a program to encourage residents to plant new lemon trees and register existing ones to meet the goal.
