Topic: There is hope...
Heard a song on the radio today. I believe Brandon Heath is the singer.
"There is hope for me yet
Because God won't forget
All the plans he made for me...
God's not finished with me yet..."
On my very first visit with my oncologist about 2 years ago, I told her I didn't want to hear a prognosis, because too often, they become self-fulfilling prophecies. She honored that long enough for both of us to learn that I don't do anything by the books. Last fall, even though my husband asked and she told him I probably didn't have 5 years, she made it clear that my life doesn't seem to fit the statistics. She said I remind her of the Monte Python character with a knife in his gut who said, "I'll be fine. It's just a flesh wound." On my next visit, she said I remind her of the Eveready bunny--"May be down but gets back up and keeps on going!"
I did water aerobics throughout the first year of cc. Though away from it for a time, I'm back at it. Today, I continued a new relationship... Our cancer center has a buddy system where a patient in remission is paired with a new (or recently diagnosed) cancer patient to accompany them on the journey, practicing much of what I see on this website but actually face-to-face where possible. My buddy was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and today was her first chemo treatment. I met her there for our first face-to-face contact. And I was blessed.
Keep hoping even when you are trying to prepare for the unknown.
God bless you all!

Breathing Is Believing: The Importance of Nasal Breathing
I grew up during the age of Jane Fonda aerobics marathons and "No pain, no gain" mantras. When the way of the warrior was breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. As an exercise enthusiast and a dancer throughout college, I lived my life this way without ever questioning the theory. Now I know better: Question everything!
Breathing is a 24-7 unconscious act. Breathing provides necessary oxygen to your body, without which the cells of your body would quickly die. But are you breathing the "right way"?

SARASOTA COUNTY - A man who reportedly thought he was about to meet a mother who offered to let him have sex with her child instead found himself in handcuffs.
Stephen Mizner, 41, of the 5700 block of Scarborough Lane in Sarasota, is charged with computer pornography: soliciting a parent to consent to sex with a minor, computer pornography: traveling to meet a minor and attempted sexual battery.
Sheriff's detectives reported today that, earlier this month, Mizner thought he was responding to an Internet ad by a woman with a child offering "discreet family fun." The Florida Department of Law Enforcement reportedly posted the ad.
In dialogue over the Internet and on the phone, Mizner reportedly said he wanted to have sex with the mother and daughter. He allegedly agreed to meet the mother in a parking lot in the 5400 block of Clark Road and bring Skittles candy and condoms. The woman, who was an undercover detective, reportedly said she would take him to her home to be with the girl.
Sheriff's detectives say they arrested Mizner when he arrived and reportedly found candy and condoms in his possession.

Foodie TV
We tried counting the number of food shows currently airing on TV and lost count around the 471 mark. Seems the "Next Top Master Iron Star Kitchen Nightmare" genre is an ever-expanding field, and copycat productions are everywhere. But we have to offer props to "The Feed," the newest show to hit A&E's FYI Network (www.fyi.tv). The premise of the lighthearted show, which launches Aug. 21, is simple. Each episode stars Gail Simmons (Food & Wine Magazine, "Top Chef" judges table), chef Marcus Samuelsson (Harlem's Red Rooster and other restaurants) and food writer/comedian Max Silvestri competing against each other in two food-related challenges -- creating a Cronutlike mash-up, for example, or fare fit for ghosts.
As you might guess, Simmons and Samuelsson take the challenges seriously while Silvestri goes for the laughs -- but it's his wild creations that you wait for. Let's just say, you may need a naan hand.
Glittery macarons
If you ever wondered how the macaron trend was going to top itself, get yourself over to Yigit Pura's Tout Sweet Patisserie (Macy's Union Square, San Francisco; www.toutsweetsf.com). Pura's pastry homage to the Tony award-winning Broadway production "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is a macaron -- and not just any macaron. This one ($2 each, or $35 for a 14-piece box) includes a bourbon-orange marmalade ganache with a brandied cherry center, dusted in edible red glitter. We think Neil Patrick Harris would be pleased.
Gouda news
It's easy to taste and critique a restaurant cheese plate. But what if that "plate" is the size of a convention hall, and there are more than 1,685 cheeses and cultured dairy products to sample? That was the daunting -- and filling -- task facing the judges from the American Cheese Society's 31st conference in Sacramento. The coveted Best of Show award was bestowed on a Tarentaise Reserve made by a Vermont educational enterprise called the Farms for City Kids Foundation. The Bay Area's Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. won second place overall for its Point Reyes Bay Blue. And a San Joaquin Valley creamery, Oakdale Cheese & Specialties, tied for third place overall for its Aged Gouda. Eight first-place ribbons were awarded to California cheese makers, including Cypress Grove Chevre (two firsts, for its Bermuda Triangle and its Truffle Tremor); Rumiano Cheese Co. (Dry Monterey Jack); Bleating Heart Cheese (two firsts, for its Fat Bottom Girl and its Ewelicious Blue); Dairy Goddess Farmstead Cheese (The Valley Fromage Blanc); Karoun Dairies (Blue Isle Mediterranean Yogurt Spread); and Garden Variety Cheese (Yogurt).

The word on the street ... OK, on the Internet, is that Tiger Woods is trying to get his ex-wife Elin Nordegren back.
"I am not going to comment on my private life," Woods told reporters at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on Thursday.
OK, fair enough. We'll do it for you.
The National Enquirer just published a story saying the golfer proposed to Nordegren again over the holidays. The paper said Woods even offered the former Swedish model a $200 million prenup. She is reportedly considering the offer under one condition -- that he add a $350 million anti-cheating clause to the agreement.
Wow. Who would be worth that kind of cheating clause?
But enough about Salma Hayek.
"Tiger didn't even balk at the demand," a source reportedly told the Enquirer. "Even though his accountants think he's crazy, he's ready to sign the prenup and set a wedding date."
Woods and Nordegren, his wife of nearly six years, divorced in August 2010 in the wake of his much-publicized cheating scandal that included at least a dozen alleged mistresses. Woods and Nordegren have two children together -- Sam, 5, and Charlie, 3. Nordegren reportedly walked away with a handsome $110 million settlement in the divorce.
Since the split, Nordegren has been romantically linked to businessman Jamie Dingman and more recently to Swedish hockey player Douglas Murray.

Fix Beauty Emergencies on the Go
Surprising beauty tips to help you fix a broken nail, an oily t-zone and more beauty emergencies
How often do you find yourself out of oil blotters and with a t-zone so shiny it could be used as a mirror? The quick solution: Excuse yourself and go to the restroom. You can use a disposable toilet seat cover or even toilet paper to gently dab away any excess oil. The material is thin and can effectively soak up excess sebum. A tip that all of you germaphobes will especially love: Use the side of the toilet paper that's facing inward (towards the roll), so that any leftover particle matter from the previous toilet flush isn't clinging onto it.

The toilet paper hint reminded me of this obnoxious person I worked with, you know the one that acts like she is smarter and prettier than everyone else around? She kept her toothbrush in a glass on the sink in the bathroom at work. I assumed she never read or heard that the water from the toilet could fly up to 30 feet at times. I always imagined that it was all over the toothbrush that she used.

As Quantum International Corp. (OTCBB: QUAN) continues talks to help develop and market new technologies related to robotic exoskeletons, the incredible medical devices have hit a new milestone.
Earlier this year, paralyzed British citizen Claire Lomas became the first person to begin home use of the robotic exoskeleton that helped her walk in the 2012 London Marathon.
The motorized legs, developed by Argo Medical Technologies, allow Lomas to stand, climb stairs and walk around independently for the first time since her life-changing accident in 2007. Reuters recently reported that Argo believes that a quarter of a million wheelchair users could benefit from its ReWalk system. The exoskeleton market for able-bodied users in physically taxing jobs or athletic training could be much larger. Some analysts have estimated the global market potential to be between $500 million and $1 billion dollars.
"This is only the first success story in what we predict will be a worldwide movement," said Quantum CEO Robert Federowicz. "In addition to walking, robotic exoskeletons allow disabled users to speak to friends and family eye-to-eye and exercise in ways that weren't possible before. They can also help reduce the costs associated with treating paralyzed patients for illnesses such as the loss of bone density."
"Put simply, we believe the market potential for advanced new exoskeletons to be huge," he said.
Quantum is already working to deliver better, more innovative robotics products to the U.S. marketplace. The company recently signed a non-discloser agreement with the University of Houston so that serious discussions can begin on a possible collaboration with researchers there who are working on an external brain-machine interface that could allow users to manipulate an advanced Rex Bionics robotic exoskeleton using their thoughts alone.
For more information on Quantum International's robotics initiatives, please visit www.quantuminnovators.com/investors.html.
Quantum International Corp. is working to develop the next generation of robotics technology to compete in a booming global industry alongside Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NasdaqGS: ISRG), iRobot Corporation (NasdaqGS: IRBT) and Dover Corp. (NYSE: DOV).

The National Zoo's Wild Canid Project focuses on studying the biology of wild canids to improve reproductive success and to maintain self-sustaining zoo and wild populations.
From the two-pound fennec fox that survives the rigors of Arabian deserts to the 175-pound gray wolf that ranges throughout the wild reaches of the Northern Hemisphere, canids (dog-like mammals) are a diverse and wide-ranging family of mammals.
Yet these charismatic cousins of our oldest and most faithful companion, the domestic dog, are rapidly disappearing. Seven of 36 species in the world are listed as "threatened" or "endangered," and several are near extinction due to habitat loss, illegal hunting, and disease.
Yet, compared to other carnivores (wild cats and bears), canids receive less public and conservation attention. And amazingly, the reproductive biology of wild canids (the essence of their survival) continues to be a mystery.
As natural wild canid populations become increasingly threatened, self-sustaining ex situ (zoo) populations become essential to securing species persistence. For unknown reasons, zoo populations of wild canids (including the maned wolf, African wild dog, and bush dog) breed poorly.
Understanding the reproductive physiology of these species provides clues to successful breeding and ultimately to developing healthy populations. These animals serve as "insurance" for wild canid populations while helping to educate the public and providing critical biological data.
Unfortunately, there is limited scholarly information about wild canids. Therefore, we focus studies on these species' physiology, including how to reverse low reproductive success.

High-profile court cases continued
Published: Monday, April 21, 2014 at 3:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 21, 2014 at 3:03 p.m.
Several high-profile cases, two of which include defendants facing murder charges, were continued until June 23 after the start of a two-day administrative session of Henderson County Superior Court Monday morning.
Continued on the docket were the cases of:
--Daniel Lindsey, a former school resource officer and deputy with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office. Lindsey, 27, faces three felony counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, one felony count of disseminating obscenity, 14 misdemeanor counts of disseminating material harmful to minors, and three felony counts of sex offense with a student in connection with a consensual relationship he had with a 16-year-old female student who attended the school where he worked as an SRO.
--Felicia Brabham, a former physician, faces charges of terminating group health insurance, felony breaking and entering and larceny after breaking and entering. Brabham, 60, is accused of breaking into a neighboring medical office to continue seeing patients after she turned in her license to practice in the state in October. Brabham's practice fell under scrutiny in September 2012 when the N.C. Medical Board received two complaints from former patients unable to obtain copies of their medical records from her office.
--Four teens accused of raping a fellow classmate at a party in December 2012 were delayed until June. James "Matt" Bishop, 18, Joseph Vincent Curto, 18, Tyler Scott Garren, 18, and Justin Wesley Ponder, 18, who were all minors at the time of the incident, were charged as adults with felony second-degree rape.
--Brandon Cody Lee Case, 25, was accused of murder in the Feb. 22, 2012 death of Joshua William Lindsay, which was initially reported as a suicide at 2643 Macedonia Road in Saluda. According to an autopsy, Lindsay died from a gunshot wound to the face and neck at an indeterminate range and had suffered other injuries. Case was later charged with felony murder.
--Michael Stephen Walker, 45, was accused of murder in the death of his father, Gerald "Jerry" Walker of Lilburn, Ga., who was found dead in his son's Penncross Estates condominium on Jan. 27, 2013 after a "significant altercation." Walker was charged with felony murder.

Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in downtown San Francisco today, where the city's annual Pride Parade has started to make its way up Market Street.
Cheers, rainbow flags and motorcade of around 200 motorcycles kicked off the parade, which was making its way from Market and Beale streets to the Civic Center.
Following the motorcycles were contingents of costumed bicyclists from the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and the AIDS Lifecycle.
Crowds lined the streets and others huddled in windows and on balconies of buildings lining the parade route.
The parade will be followed by the 43rd San Francisco Pride Celebration, which will be held at the Civic Center.

my day of recording, eating, traveling and perfoming in Mont
well. where to start.
Woke up...rolled off of the dog-hairy, hard wood floor than I've been sleeping on...stumbled outside into the greatest weather I can remember experiencing since.........since I was very young but old enough to remember such a thing.
ate and laughed at nothing. spilled stuff. stumbled around.
typed out lyrics to a new song I was desperately trying to finish before Sixtoo returned home from some art gallery he was setting up.
didn't finish.
he got back late.
when I finished I rushed the lyrics onto paper and hopped into the closet where we decided to record. recorded.
gotta go.
thought about what I just recorded and decided I needed to rewrite the last verse. Felt happy about how my voice was sounding.
got picked up by Mitch (Sixtoo's graffiti friend.) The car...not safe, I learned that you don't need to inspect vehicles in Quebec....whoooo.
we go to...uhh...shit. we went somewhere. I don't remember at the moment. BUT...I met one of the members of Godspeed you Black Emperor. She hung out with us for most of the night. I told her about how I opened a lot of my shows with their record. She said "Oh, you're Sage Francis...I've heard a lot about you."
tight. She goes bombing at night with Sixtoo and Mitch....she uses stenciles. So there are these crazy stenciles all over the city with the word "HOPE" and an image of someone throwing a Molotov cocktail. Considering the album I am currently recording is called HOPE, I definitely have taken notice. She also has other stenciles with the HOPE theme. I don't bother to ask her why.
we go to an art gallery...which is actually a skateboard shop. i sit down and zone out. say hi to a few people who recognize me. sell a couple cds in the process.
then we go eat at one of the restaurant/clubs that Godspeed owns...and I ate a veggie pate sandwich. Very good.
Sixtoo tells me that Buck 65 and Grey Matter are at the club next door. Let's go.
The club is bigger than I expected. Fairly large crowd. I am wearing a Xaul Zan army fatigue jacket and a pastel yellow sun hat. People aren't quite sure yet.
"Hey, Rob...can I perform tonight?"
"Yeah, we'll go on after Buck"
See Buck 65 backstage. and Graham. HI! "hi, lover"
no product??? fuck, man. Luggage got lost. When the hell am I going to get Square. "Oct 1 is the official release date now."
Buck performs for over an hour. The new songs sound very good. I start preparing. I come to the conclusion I am going to put on a long performance...even though I shouldn't...but I should...because there's a lot of people here and they are excited.
Buck introduces special guest. I emerge with transparent tape over my eyes, and banana sticking out of my pant's zipper...and a HUGE knife. Found all of this backstage...got excited.
underbite ben chops at the banana cock in classic "you must pay" fashion.
makeshift patriot. show goes for 40 minutes. people are yelling out words and singing choruses. I feel good. Happy. End the show and people are great. smiling. shaking hands. hugging. dancing. Sixtoo spins hiphop then Dub. Since the performance wasn't planned I did it for free, but the people bought all my product.
The woman from Godspeed meets me backstage and asks me if it's ok to do a stencile of my face. "Hell ya...awesome"
We say our goodbyes to everyone.
We stop at a gas station and I spend a half hour looking at the shitty selection, unable to decide what to buy.
bought shit. never a healthy choice.
"can I use your computer, rob?"

I am in the studio til I leave now. no more fun.
but yes, it was a Sage Francis show. I didn't know it would be until I was there and the situation lent itself to me getting stupid on stage.
Godspeed You Black Emperor consists of a lot of instruments....mood music...I don't know the real term for what they play. I bought a couple of their albums....I love one of them in particular. It has an audio clip of some dude in RI talking about how he sonned a judge over a parking ticket.

I have the "Lift your tiny fists to the sky" or something like that album of Godspeed, it's like 2 cds. that parking ticket thing sounds familiar, so I wonder if thats the album you are talking about liking. either way the whole post is going to make me dig that album out and listen to it again. WHen I first got it I thought it was amazing. I remember dragging my mom in to listen to parts of it and she realy liked it, actually burned her some of the album out for her own personal use.
Nice writeup Sage, sounded like a lot of fun.

A judge did not rule Monday on whether conversations accused murderer Mark F. Stevens had with a confidential informant can be included in his trial, saying more testimony is needed.
More than five hours of testimony was given in Washington County Common Pleas Court Monday.
Acting Judge Julie Selmon of Monroe County did rule in favor of a handful of motions that involved jury selection, but Selmon scheduled testimony to resume next Monday about conversations that eventually elicited a confession from Stevens, 48, of 2385 Bells Run Road, Newport Township, about the 2008 murder of his neighbor, 42-year-old Patrick Arnold.

Newport Township resident Mark Stevens, left, sits in court with attorney Shawna Landaker during a hearing Monday in Washington County Common Pleas Court. The defense wants, among other things, a motion to suppress statements Stevens made to a confidential informant about the 2008 murder of his neighbor Patrick Arnold.
"(Stevens) was provided alcohol. There were promises of money," said Stevens' attorney Ray Smith, summing up some of his objections to the conversations with the informant.
The informant, 46-year-old James Corder, of Macksburg, was an inmate at the Washington County Jail at the same time Stevens was serving time on an unrelated charge.
Former Washington County Sheriff's Office deputy Dana Spencer testified Monday that he first approached Corder about gleaning information from Stevens after another inmate, Timothy Seevers, approached Spencer with information that Stevens had confessed to Corder.
Fact Box
About the case
Mark F. Stevens, 48, of 2385 Bells Run Road was charged with the 2008 murder of his neighbor, 42-year-old Patrick Arnold.
He is also charged with tampering with evidence for disposing of the murder weapon, a shotgun which was never found.
Stevens was arrested Aug. 1, after confessing the crime to a wired confidential informant.
A Stevens' attorney, Washington County Public Defender Ray Smith, argues that the confession was not voluntary because the informant offered to involve Stevens in an illegal money making scheme and repeatedly provided beer to Stevens, a known alcoholic.
Testimony in a motion to suppress the conversations lasted more than five hours Monday and will continue next Monday in Washington County Common Pleas Court.
Stevens is scheduled to go to trial on the charges July 15.
Source: Times research
Corder's first conversations with Stevens took place in jail in April 2010 but no information of value was gained. Corder next worked with officers in July 2012, gaining a furlough from a jail sentence on drug trafficking charges to gain Stevens' trust and elicit more information.
Washington County Prosecutor Jim Schneider argued that the issue at hand is one of Miranda rights (the right to remain silent and have legal representation).
"Stevens' Miranda rights were never violated because he was never in custody for the crime," he said.
But Smith argued the issue was that of whether or not the confession was voluntary. It was not, he said, because Corder plied Stevens with alcohol and promised to include Stevens in an illegal money-making scheme involving hiding guns.
Detective Bruce Schuck of the Washington County Sheriff's Office testified that the sheriff's office knew of the beer drinking and participated in the gun hiding ploy and that both were a necessary means of allowing Corder to gain Stevens' trust.
"The purpose was to set up a trust relationship. I made him believe I was part of a criminal organization," testified Schuck, who posed on the phone to Stevens as Corder's friend who needed some guns hidden.
Schuck also testified that the sheriff's office did not object to Corder buying Stevens beer or drinking with him, but had advised Corder to cut off conversations if Stevens appeared to be intoxicated. The office had asked Corder to cease talk of devil worship, he testified.
When Stevens eventually confessed to the crime, after multiple occasions of denial, he admits to it and immediately inquires if he will receive money for the admission, argued Smith.
Schuck brought up details that officers have argued Stevens could not possibly know unless he was guilty, including that Arnold was wearing an orange shirt the day of his death. Schuck also argued that Stevens knew Arnold had been shot in the chest and was found lying face down, facts that were not common knowledge.
But Smith brought up inconsistencies where Stevens had also said Arnold was wearing a white shirt and was lying on his side when found.
"When he finally says something that matches the facts, at that point you're satisfied?" asked Smith.
Schuck said the accuracies added up to enough information to tie Stevens to the scene.
The only other person to testify Monday was sheriff's office Det. Scott Parks.
Among the motions Selmon agreed to Monday was a motion for jury view, meaning jurors will be taken to view the scene of the crime; a motion for jury individual voir dire, meaning potential jurors can be questioned individually away from other potential jurors; and a motion for jury questionnaires, meaning potential jurors will receive a mailed list of questions to answer and return.
Additionally, Selmon approved a jury selection process that will feature the questioning of 75 potential jurors each day for three days.
Stevens' trial for murder and tampering with evidence is scheduled for July 15.

I have always been a supporter of good education and proper training of our children. I have been much disappointed of late in our school system and some of those who are running it. I am speaking of the Campbellsville System.
It seems that the real needs of the students are being overlooked, except by a few really dedicated teachers. All of our funds are being placed more on sports and the cliques they create than on the assurance of good education. Counselors seem less concerned with some and are failing the real needs of those who need it most.

Splenectomy is surgery to remove the
spleen. The spleen gets rid of old and damaged red blood
cells. Red blood cells may be damaged by a health condition, such as
thalassemia or sickle cell disease. When the blood cells pass through the spleen, they are often
destroyed. This can leave the body with too few red blood cells.
Some people have their spleen removed to keep from losing too many red blood cells. Other people may need to have it removed if the spleen is injured in a car accident or by another trauma.
The spleen helps the body fight certain types of bacteria. If your spleen is removed, your body will be less able to fight serious infections. So your doctor will suggest that you have:

9.3-1 Arson in the First Degree -- § 53a-111
Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified Noivember 6, 2014)
The defendant is charged [in count __] with arson in the first degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of arson in the first degree when, with intent to destroy or damage a building (he/she) starts a fire or causes an explosion, and <insert appropriate subsection:>
§ 53a-111 (a) (1): the building is inhabited or occupied or the person has reason to believe the building may be inhabited or occupied.
§ 53a-111 (a) (2): any other person is injured, either directly or indirectly.
§ 53a-111 (a) (3): such fire or explosion was caused for the purpose of collecting insurance proceeds for the resultant loss.
§ 53a-111 (a) (4): at the scene of such fire or explosion a peace officer or firefighter is subjected to a substantial risk of bodily injury.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Started or caused
fire or explosion1
The first element is that the defendant started or caused a fire or explosion. To "start" means to commence. To "cause an act to be done" is to bring it about. The fire started need not be a tremendous one. The mere striking of a match can be the start of a fire. The fire or explosion must be incendiary in origin. That is, it must not be accidental or caused by carelssness. In considering whether the fire or explosion was incendiary in origin, you may rely upon all the facts and circumstances at the time and place of the fire or explosion, as you find them to have been proved, and may draw any reasonable or logical inferences from such facts. The mere fact that there was fire or explosion damage to a building does not create an inference that its origin was incendiary.
Element 2 - Intent
The second element is that the defendant specifically intended to destroy or damage a building.2 A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
Ordinarily, "building" implies a structure that may be entered and used by people as a residence or for business, or for other purposes involving occupancy by people, whether or not it is actually entered and used as such. <Insert one or both of the following parts of the definition as appropriate:>
The law has expanded this definition to include, in addition to what we ordinarily know as a building, any watercraft, aircraft, trailer, sleeping car, railroad car, other structure or vehicle or any building with a valid certificate of occupancy.
The statutory definition also provides that where a building consists of separate units, such as, but not limited to separate apartments, offices or rented rooms, any unit not occupied by the defendant is, in addition to being a part of such building, a separate building.
Element 3 - Additional factor
The third element is that <insert as appropriate:>
§ 53a-111 (a) (1): the building was in fact inhabited or occupied or defendant had reason to believe that the building was inhabited or occupied and nevertheless started the fire or caused the explosion.
§ 53a-111 (a) (2): any person other than the defendant was injured either directly or indirectly. This could include an accomplice.3 The statute does not require that the injury sustained be serious, but the injury must nevertheless be real. The injury may be a direct or indirect consequence of the fire or explosion, but there must be a causal relationship between the fire or explosion and the injury. Also, the defendant need not have intended to cause the injury.4
§ 53a-111 (a) (3): the defendant caused the fire or explosion for the purpose of collecting insurance proceeds. In other words, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant's reason for causing the fire or explosion was to collect insurance proceeds.
§ 53a-111 (a) (4): at the scene of the fire or explosion, a (peace officer / firefighter) was subjected to a substantial risk of bodily injury. A "substantial risk of injury" is one that is real, considerable or material.5 <Insert appropriate definition:>
A "peace officer" includes <insert type of peace officer>
A "firefighter" means any agent of a municipality whose duty is to protect life and property therein as a member of a duly constituted fire department whether professional or volunteer.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant started or caused a fire or explosion, 2) (he/she) intended to destroy or damage <identify the building>, and 3) <insert appropriate additional factor>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of arson
in the first degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other
hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not
1 State v. Houle, 105 Conn. App. 813, 818 n.4 (2008) (on the meaning of incendiary); State v. Gaines, 36 Conn. App. 454, 458-59 (1995) (on the meaning of "causing a fire").
2 State v. Chasse, 51 Conn. App. 345, 367-72, cert. denied, 247 Conn. 960-61 (1999).

5 State v. Dubose, 75 Conn. App. 163, 174-75, cert. denied, 263 Conn. 909 (2003).
Subsection (a) (3) and (a) (4) are separate and distinct offenses. State v. Woodson, 227 Conn. 1, 9 (1993).
Criminal mischief is not a lesser
included offense of first degree arson. State v. Chance, 236 Conn. 31,

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, March 22, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It seems Augusta Tech sweetened the deal for a Starbucks plant in Augusta.
Walter Sprouse with the Development Authority said the java giant toured local schools, including Augusta Tech, several months ago.
Augusta Tech offers the training and classes that Starbucks wants on future employees' resumes.
"Very high-skilled jobs. Very highly-technical jobs so that means they will be employing a variety of people, coming out of high school coming and out of technical college," Sprouse said.
The Starbucks plant will bring at least 140 new jobs to locals in the area. The high-tech facility will be located in Augusta Corporate Park which is about a hundred acres off of Mike Padgett Highway and Horseshoe Road.
"This is not a manufacturing facility from 20 or 30 years ago, maybe what people imagined manufacturing is going to be. Very state-of-the-arc," Sprouse said.
Sprouse expects Starbucks to begin construction in about a month. It will take at least a year to build the plant. He recommends those wanting to become a Starbucks employee to begin researching and training now at Augusta Tech.
"Say listen I like to go work at Starbucks one day. I want to get a head start," he said.
Starbucks has not yet released employment information. Check with the Augusta Career Center or the Georgia Department of Labor as opening day gets closer.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Oct. 15, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A mother says she's afraid to send her daughter back to Glenn Hills Middle School after a fight in her classroom.
She claims the girl needed medical attention and says the school could not and would not answer any of the doctor's questions.
"What I'm saying is I'm not sending my daughter back to Glenn Hills Middle School until they can tell me what happened to her," said Tameka Bussey.
Bussey's daughter came home with a black eye and knot on her forehead on Sept. 25.
"I'm her mother!" exclaimed Bussey. "I'm asking about my child."
She got a standard fill-in-the-blank note saying your child bumped his/her head. The note went on to say, "We want parents to know of any possible head injuries."
But there was no explanation of what happened.
"I have even had the doctor try to call the school and try to get an incident report so she can know what she's treating," Bussey said. "They refused to give my daughter's doctor the statement also."
The doctor took extensive notes complaining the school nurse was "very unprofessional" and said, "I don't know who you are and I really don't care ... I'm not telling you anything."
So News 12 went to school board.
"I have copies of statements that were written," said Director of Student Services Dr. Carol Rountree who refused to release the incident reports and/or written statements. "They are part of an ongoing investigation."
We were able to obtain the reports/statements from the school principal. It turns out every statement was taken on Oct. 2 for a fight that took place on Sept. 25.
"Do you think statements should have been taken on the day of?" we asked Principal Glenn Andrews.
"In hindsight, maybe they should have been," Andrews replied.
Bussey worries about the larger student body.
"They're not filing reports," Bussey said. "They're not getting them [students] the medical attention they need."
"I'm sorry it happened. It is still a little confusing to everybody," Andrews said. "One of the conversations we are having is we are just going to document everything because of stuff like this. We are going to document everything."
Rountree would not comment on a time frame for the ongoing investigation.

|Is It or Isn't It a Bee?
A bee differs from other floral visitors in having been fed pollen as a larva. If you see an insect toting a load of pollen either on its hind legs or beneath its abdomen, it is a female bee. The pollen may be carried as a dry powder in a brush of hairs, or moistened with nectar to form a clump or pellet. In general, bees are more hairy or fuzzy than their wasp kin. Those that are relatively bare lack the silvery reflective facial hairs that give a flashy face to some related wasps.
Flower Fly: A number of harmless insects mimic the look of social bees and wasps. Most familiar among these are the flower flies (Syrphidae) whose resemblance to particular genera of social bees or wasps can be uncanny. Careful observation reveals diagnostic differences. Antennae of flower flies are short, having but a few segments terminating in a bristle; bees' antennae are multi-segmented, narrowly cylindrical and longer. Flower flies have but one pair of wings, bees have two pair. Flower flies often hover, unlike our bees. Flower flies, though often hairy, do not accumulate loads of pollen under their abdomens or on their hind legs as female bees do. Nonetheless, they can be significant pollinators. Finally, no flower fly can sting or bite, unlike the social bees or wasps that they mimic.
Yellow Jacket: Yellow jacket wasps (Vespula) are often mistaken for bees. Indeed, some folks call them "meat bees", but they are in fact social wasps related to hornets and only distantly related to bees. Yellow jackets may on occasion visit flowers (or your water-melon slice) for sugar, but unlike bees, yellow jackets are carnivorous, eating insects, carrion and picnic fare. Hence, they have no brushes or pollen baskets for carrying pollen. They are relatively hairless and all resemble the one pictured here. Their nests are made of paper, not wax, typically built in shallow underground cavities. In only a few instances are they thought to be pollinators. Like honeybees and bumble bees, yellow jackets have a potent sting.
Yellow jacket eating plum
Honey Bee: Workers of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) are undoubtedly the most familiar bees to North Americans. This is the bee whose perennial colonies are found in hollow trees and in the white wooden boxes managed by beekeepers for honey production and agricultural pollination. They are tan with varying degrees of orange or brown, more hairy than the yellowjacket, but less furry than the bumble bee. Like many bees, they transport pollen on their hind legs, but notably, their pollen is carried in a smooth, slightly concave pollen basket rather than in a dense brush of hairs. Their populations continue to suffer from two recent Old World afflictions, the Varroa mite and the tracheal mite.

This year's Triumph Winterfest event at the Vail Public Library is titled Alpenglow. Alpenglow is the soft, beautiful light reflected at sunrise or sunset from mountain peaks into the shadowed valleys. Working in collaboration with the town of Vail's Art in Public Places, the library is offering a children's event on Saturday to celebrate the season of light.
"We are excited by the fresh idea for this year's Triumph Winterfest, said children's librarian Cricket Pylman. "We have been a participant in the Triumph Winterfest for the past few years, offering storytelling at the site of the snow sculptures on Gore Creek Promenade. This year, we are bringing our event home to the library. We will enjoy the late afternoon Alpenglow from the library's lovely patio along the Gore Creek."
This free event will-start in the library's community room at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Children ages 3 to 12 and their parents-will enjoy some good books and an art project. The art project will be making luminarias, the traditional Southwestern and Mexican Christmas candles set in a paper bag. These are often found lighting the streets during winter festivals. After the crafts are completed, the group will gather on the library's outdoor patio to enjoy the light, play some games in the snow, and enjoy hot chocolate and other special treats. Be sure to dress warmly in snow clothes and mittens.
After the event, participants are encouraged to visit the Gore Creek Promenade in Vail Village to view the sixth annual Triumph Winterfest exhibition AlpenGLOW. The exhibit is comprised of more than 15 illuminated lantern-inspired ice sculptures. At sunset, the area transforms into a multi-colored radiant outdoor space.
This event is free and recommended for children ages 3-12. Adult supervision is required. For more information, visit www.vaillibrary.com or call 970-479-2187.

What made America great?
January 13, 2013
U.S. Rep....
There was no certain era or event that made America great, but rather it was a combination of eras and events, along with its people. Many today, have little knowledge of our history and there are those who want to rewrite it. The one thing that makes us a great people is freedom, and that seems to be under attack from many sides. It is true that a house divided can not stand united. However, there are three things that would greatly help get our house in order and they are as follows: Term limits A flat tax And a balanced budget amendment

mythravere - we use to be the best of nations but no more. Out ranking is now ion the teens where we use to be number 1. Seems Obama and the libs have done a great job controlling people with freebees. 47% of our country does not work. Many of these people have been loving off the dole for generations. Many get 40,000 plus in freebies with housing, healthcare, etc. There is one in PA who is getting 80,000 in freebies. Pres Johnson was the one who started this and Obama has increased in tremendously.
Our greatness is gone and the only way we can change is to be rid of the liberal progressives. Our schools are worthless and so is our economy.
Medicare is being used to pay for Obamacare. Cost of Obamacare for a family of four $20,000.
Doctors are leaving the profession.
Companies are no longer providing health care thanks to Obamcare.
mythravere - time to wake up and realize our country is broke and no longer great. Can this be changed? yes.WE must get rid of liberal

One thing for certain is that these are times of transition. That isn't a bad thing.
How would one appreciate good weather if the weather was good all the time?
The way I look at it is this. We may think that we are in dire straits etc. Our country is collapsing whatever. But there are people out there in this world right now who would trade their "best" of times for our worst.
Think about that.
I just took a sip of clean bottled water. Some people cant even do that.
Yes things are on the down trend but ask yourself this.
Are things as bad as the media makes it out to be?
With that take into consideration that drama sells and jerking peoples heartstrings brings in the ratings!

We became a great country because everyone rowed their own boat. Now, too many expect the ride to be on flat boats that drift down the river.
Strong families hold a country together and that is mostly gone with the wind now. Fathers and mothers used to take care of their own children, and teach them right from wrong. They used the Ten Commandments as their guide for behavior and developed good moral people. A country cannot be sustained without good,hard working, and moral citizens who vote accordingly.

What made America great?
It Is that we were the nation that served not just it's elite, but from the beginning of this country, made it so that the common American would have a part in making America great. And if America was to? be great it was because of the American people, "all of us," "not just the few one percent." A trait that made this nation unlike any other nation before it, and is what made us the "envy and goal" of every nation after it. That's my opinion

This morning our National Debt is $16,447,501,+++,+++.
Following are some of the "PORK" added to National Debt Bailout bill. 1)$6,000,000 - Manufacture of kids wooden arrows. 2)$192,000,000 - Puerto Rican & Virgin Islands rum producers. 3)$128,000,000 - Auto Race Tracks. 4)$33,000,000 - Corporations operating in American Samoa. 5)Small & medium film & television productions. 6)$223,000 tax benefits for fishermen & other livelihoods suffered in 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.
The Congressional Budget Office said, "The package of breaks including obviouse pork & more defensible tax relief measures will add about $112,000,000,000 to budget deficits over the next five years because the bill doesn't contain enough offsetting revenue hikes to keep the budget balanced."
"We The People" made America great, not the idiots in Washingto D.C. now!

The reason I asked that question is that clarity of thought is key to our nation prospering.
If we surround ourselves with false and misleading narratives we end up regressing instead of progressing.
6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
An even better question to ask is this.
Out of all of this nations greatness how much of it is real and how much of it is nothing more than a sugar coated narrative?
I personally feel we are one of the best nations on this planet. We have our problems but we for the most part sort them out.
My question though comes from those that look into the past and hold a begone time up as this nations finest. Are those yearnings of times past based on reality?
