2010 Best Theme Park Attraction nominee: SeaWorld Orlando's Journey to Atlantis
Written by Robert Niles
SeaWorld Orlando's Journey to Atlantis joins the 2010 Best Theme Park Attraction tournament as the 16th seed in the Best Themed Ride bracket.Tweet
This Mack water coaster debuted in 1998, as SeaWorld's first thrill ride. It's SeaWorld, where park rules dictate that you have to get wet, so it shouldn't have surprised anyone when the park's first roller coaster kicked off with a soaking flume-ride drop.
After boarding, riders proceed through a short dark ride sequence when the Siren beckons riders into the mythical city of Atlantis. But soon, the siren transforms into a demon and riders are expelled from the temple down the ride's signature waterfall.
After a turnaround, riders return to the temple for a final encounter with the siren/demon, in a short roller coaster segment leading to a final splashdown... and thorough soaking.
Here's a highlight video that SeaWorld prepared for Theme Park Insider:
Orlando's Journey to Atlantis was an immediate hit with crowds and has spawned two other versions in following decade. San Diego's drops the dark ride element, but substitutes a longer coaster and a unique indoor elevator lift. San Antonio's is essentially a basic shoot-the-chutes ride, with 360-degree turntables at the top of the lift and before the drop.
Over the years, riders have complained that the show elements have muddied, and that the whole ride building could use a sharp rehab. But JTA remains popular enough to win a place in this year's tournament. Whether it can beat the top seed in its bracket, however, won't be known until voting for the Best Theme Park Attraction tournament begins in March.
Readers' Opinions

I really hope Journey to Atlantis does well. Despite its need for a rehab this is still a great attraction. It has a good theme, a pretty strong storyline and infuses a coaster and a flume ride together seamlessly.
From SC Todbear on December 18, 2009 at 10:56 PM
A couple of years ago I rode this for the first time and LOVED it. It's a shame that at the other parks they eliminated some of the best features. I wish Carowinds could get something as cool as this for a new water attraction especialy since the flume is now gone.
From Anthony Murphy on December 18, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Not a fan (I never really was!)
From Pyra Dong on December 19, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Heehee... you forgot to mention that besides the mermaid/siren, there's also the magical seahorse. (I'm sorry, i'm a girl who likes cute things so I have to mention the cute magical seahorse in the ride).
The Archaeologist sends the seahorse to guide you through the temple and he's often shown as a stream of lights... but yea, it's easily missed and the effects often don't let you realize that.
Then the seahorse seems to mysteriously disappear after the mermaid turns bad.
and YES! I'm a fan of Atlantis! and YES! the park should clean up the effects. But I have to give it more props because it seems like this is the only ride between Busch/Seaworld that has a storyline-- and a good one too.
From Anthony Murphy on December 19, 2009 at 9:10 AM
I like the theming from the ground and all of that, but I do not like this ride at all. I feel that the storyline and flume parts being weak.
Oh well, we will see what happens!
From Brandon Grayson on December 19, 2009 at 1:15 PM
This is ride is good, (sometimes, depending on the mood your in...) but it's not THE best. It's just good.
From David Sutter on December 20, 2009 at 7:16 AM
Well Prya. Youve got part of the story line right. Ita actually starts out that the Fable City has surfaced in a the sea near a Greek fishing vilage. And the local fisherman see a chance to make moeny buy taking visitors to the city of Atlantis in their "fishing boats". As you approch the dock and seated you pass by a samll fishermans home and he warns you to go away. But in the foutain the mermaid appears nad and Tells you to enoy your visit. Then you enter the next room and see the city on the right and a hologram of her appears and says. Welcome mortal man fear not for behold I give you the City of Atlantis! Enjoy your stay but take nothing.
Then you round the bend and sart the climd and her face appears agin and this time she changes into a sea witch and at one point in time the face actually slide forward and very birght and with green eyes. it appears someone has sotlin her pet seahorse. As you splash into the main lagoon and trun the bend you hear her say "leaving so so? I think not" and you climb again and go higher into the sotry to the treasure room. ANd the coater element kicks in at one time it was filled with fog, storbs and lasers,again gone,turned off whatever. And the audio was very load..giving the appearance that shes out to sink your bopat befor exting the cave and spash down ..beofre returning to the dock and exiting. But then everyione here is right it does need to be rehabed and all the show effects reurned. ANd when it first openned the hole struture had water running over its serface and down the wall. vwery effective. making it look wet.
From Joshua Counsil on December 20, 2009 at 9:01 PM
Wow. Best themed ride? That's a laugh. The effects are ridiculously cheesy. The storyline is near-impossible to understand. The mermaid must be bipolar, first welcoming you to her kingdom, then inexplicably attempting to take your life. Danny Elfman's Beetlejuice theme plays during the mild coaster section. Strange, unsatisfying attraction with a deceptively appealing exterior.
From David Sutter on December 21, 2009 at 6:20 AM
Joshua, Read the whole sotry line. She welcomes you but warns you take nothing. And the fisherman took the sea horse and she wants it back..swerchig each boat to see who has it...
From Joshua Counsil on December 21, 2009 at 1:05 PM
David -
You shouldn't have to read the whole storyline. It's a theme park ride, not a novel, play, or intricate movie. It should be fairly simple to understand, and not one of my eight friends was able to figure out what was going on after two rides.
From Manny Barron on December 22, 2009 at 2:46 PM
I always have a good time on this ride. It has no chance of beating the top seed(which could be spider-man,Tower of Terror, or Revenge of the Mummy at USF) but nice to see it in the tourney.

Rebalance does not start after removing server
I am running couchbase 1.8.0 on three nodes in a cluster. Since I want to migrate these servers and update some packages, which requires the servers to be off, I had considered the following scenario:
- Remove server, rebalance
- Physically migrate and update the server
- Add server back to cluster
- Rebalance
However, after clicking remove and rebalance, the two remaining servers show they are at 0% complete. I cannot stop the rebalance (the button does not do anything) nor can I add any other server, because that button has disappeared.
The nodes are not very busy (averaging below 4% cpu and around 15% memory for both beam.smp and memcached), so I do not think this is due to any form of 'starvation'. The firewall is also set to allow all traffic within our own subnet, so all traffic should get through easily.
The couchbase-cli command shows both servers are healthy and active when i request the server-list.

There is a great deal of talk, and has been for some time, of the "death of the high street" in the UK, with many high streets across the country now experiencing high rates of vacancy. In response we've seen planning policies and development strategies for these areas focusing on filling vacant units with more shops and making them vibrant places to shop. But is this the right approach and can every high street really be treated the same?

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. - When a North Fort Myers woman received a phone call stating she had won a million dollars and a Mercedes Benz, she thought her problems were over. Unfortunately they were just beginning.
The call was made by a man identifying himself as "John Williams." He told the woman that in order to process her winnings, he needed her to send $350...which she did via Western Union. Later that day, the man called again saying that $500 was needed for additional processing. The victim complied and sent the money again by Western Union. This led to a third request...this time for $1,500. The victim told the caller she didn't have that kind of money and that $160 was all she had left. The caller indicated that amount was fine and the victim wired the $160.
When it became evident to the victim that she had been duped, she filed a report with the Lee County Sheriff's Office Economic Crimes Unit. ECU investigators followed the money trail and were able to determine that all three Western Union wire transfers had gone to different locations in Ringgold, Georgia. ECU investigators forwarded their information to Ringgold police, who were able to determine the money was picked up each time by Karen Jones, of Tunnel Hill, Georgia. Jones told police she had been directed by "Mr. Williams" to pick up the money and send it to a person in Jamaica.
Jones is charged with several counts of Felony Theft. The investigation reveals she was likely victimizing other people as well.
Economic Crimes Unit supervisor Sgt. Keith Day says legitimate lotteries will never require people to send money to process their winnings. "If they ask you for money," he says, "hang up right away."

TELL CITY—Only one match went three sets as Tell City beat Pike Central 5-0 in PAC boys tennis Thursday.
Zach Fisher had to battle back from a first-set loss to beat Tanner McFarland 4-6, 7-6 (7-4), 10-1 (super tiebreaker in lieu of a third set) in No. 2 singles.
Jake Swihart beat Aaron Keepes 6-3, 6-1 in No. 1 singles and Luke Thomas beat Sam Stone 6-4, 6-3 in No. 3.
Kevin Yeung and Jeff Yeung defeated Ty Smith and Jackson Keepes 6-2, 6-3 in No. 2 doubles.

TELL CITY—Jordan Sprinkle made 14 kills and four blocks as Perry Central beat Tell City 25-18, 25-16, 22-25, 25-18 in volleyball Thursday.
"We played a little bit better tonight so Grace (James) could set her up, and she was a little more aggressive tonight," Perry Central Coach Becky Genet said of Sprinkle. "She has a lot of potential.
"Madeline (Hubert) made a lot of all-around, really nice plays. And Brittany (Parker)'s placement was great on her hits.
PAOLI—"Their line dominated on both sides. When you do that, it's over with."
That was Perry Central Coach Greg Gibson's summation of his team's 49-6 PLAC football loss to Paoli Friday, and he wasn't exaggerating.
Perry Central quarterback Lane Lynch never had adequate time to pass and ended up just 1 for 5 for 5 yards.
The Commodores also couldn't get their running game going. They rushed for just 59 yards on 19 carries.

Lots of people volunteer their time to worthwhile causes, but I can't think of anyone I know who has devoted more of his time than Micah Jackson has to the Cannelton Police Department.
Jackson has worked as a police reserve patrolman there for close to a decade and has given literally thousands of hours to the city and its residents. He's also been a proud supporter of law enforcement across the county.

While a labor dispute continues, members of the Redskins hold their own practice in the D.C. area.
In an undisclosed location under cover of driving rain, what wasn't supposed to happen, happened.
The Redskins held a practice.
It wasn't an official team activity, but 26 dedicated team members decided that, lockout be damned, there was going to be football.
Organized by London Fletcher, the unofficial mini-camp was a series of drills and simple routes designed to get the players back into a football state of mind.
Since the Redskins organization was not involved, Fletcher had to handle all aspects of the practice himself, including equipment. As he unloaded bags of footballs he bought with his own cash, it became clear how dedicated he was to making this happen.
There was even different colored T-shirts for the offense and defense.
For some, it was a short trip to play with friends. For others, it was a flight across country just for the occasion.
Second-year wide receiver Terrence Austin paid for a flight out of pocket from California in order to be with his teammates.
"We all just want to get it right," he told us. "We have goals and aspirations for the season. Nobody's happy about how last year ended. We wanted to get out here as early as possible and start to build ourselves into a team that can win."
Of highest importance to organizer Fletcher was keeping the get together injury-free.
"I think the thing that we stress and emphasize to the guys is that we're not going out here 100 miles an hour trying to compete at the highest level," he explained. "It's really just about doing football, getting guys out, doing football related type stuff, but being smart and understanding protect your teammates."
While the main focus was practice, it was also good to have some fun during a time of uncertainty in the NFL.
"I think it's a big deal to get everyone together," said Cooley. "So much time goes by when you don't see everyone and you don't hear plays called and you don't have football in your life. I think everyone enjoyed it, and I'm real excited to be here."
Never mind the relentless rain. Forget the numbing chill. There was football happening -- and it was glorious.

text: I was just reading &Kingnet 's post in which he suggests "a nice new wallet" as a Father's Day gift (bubblews.com/news/948160-father039s-day-gifts-for-under-10-dollars ). I agree. A new wallet is not a bad gift idea for a men. It's the kind of thing a lot of people might discount because it might seem to be a "gotta find something to give him" kind of gift. But actually, for many men it might be quite useful. I've been using my wallet for maybe a decade! It's overstuffed and somewhat ragged, but still serviceable. Since it hasn't quite fallen apart, I probably won't buy another one for myself for years yet. But if someone were to give me one as a gift, it would be welcome. Of course, before giving such a gift, you must be able to somehow examine the wallet the man is now using. Otherwise, you may end up giving him something he'll either have to return, or just put away in a drawer because it doesn't meet his needs. Having used the various pockets and windows in my current wallet for so many years now, if someone gave me one that was radically different, I might not want to make the effort to adjust. But, if you have a close enough relationship with a man to have a sense of what he wants in a wallet, by all means consider giving him one.

Updated December 9, 2010 at 6:10 PM CST: After Thursday's sentencing, Crawford County prosecutor Michael Gayoso Jr. tells us he was confident they had the right man all along.
"It was the first time here in Crawford County that a murder case has been filed without the body being found," Gayoso says. "We thought we had sufficient evidence to charge him which was crucial in the case to keep him in jail."
Richard Davis disappeared the same day that he filed a restraining order against Duane Wahl. Davis had told the Crawford County Sheriff's Office that Wahl had confessed to him about poisoning Wahl's girlfriend.
Updated December 9, 2010 at 2:15 PM CST: A Mulberry, Kansas man was sentenced to life in prison this morning in Crawford County court. Duane Wahl plead guilty in October to the murder of his former roommate and could be eligible for parole in 25 years.
Wahl had been ruled incompetent to stand trial in April and spent four months at a mental facility for evaluation and treatment.
Wahl first made headlines in February 2009 in a dispute with McCune Mayor Don Call. Wahl, a resident of McCune at the time, reported a shooting saying the mayor shot his dogs. Mayor Call claimed the dogs were menacing neighbors.
In October 2009 the Crawford County Sheriff's Office received a call from Wahl, who said he had been shot at by a man driving by his house. Investigators determined the report was fake, and Wahl had fired the shots.
Less than a month later, in early November, Wahl was staying with Richard Davis in Mulberry when Davis's wife reported him missing.
In late November, Wahl plead guilty to indecent liberties with a child under the age of 16. While sentencing was pending in that case, Wahl was arrested and charged in December for the murder of Davis, even though his body would not be found until January 2010, nearly two months after he went missing.
Authorities say it was members of Wahl's family who turned him in and reported the location of the body, which was found in a shallow grave. Authorities say blood was found both at the scene and in Wahl's vehicle.
CORRECTED at 4:00 PM CST: It was previously reported that Duane Wahl could be eligible for parole in 20 years. In fact, he could be eligible for parole in 25 years.
Updated October 27, 2010 - 11:20 AM CST: Crawford County prosecutor Michael Gayoso says Duane Wahl plead guilty to first degree premeditated murder this morning in Crawford County, District Court in Girard.
Wahl faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years.
Sentencing is set for December 9.
The factual basis read in court by Gayoso is posted in its entirety:
Wahl Factual Basis:
On or about the 30th day of October, 2009 Richard Davis called the Crawford County Sheriff's Department at approximately 1:31PM inquiring about why Duane Wahl was still walking the streets after he confessed to him about poisoning Wahl's girlfriend. Richard Davis and his family was residing with Duane Wahl and his girlfriend at Wahl's residence located in Mulberry, Crawford County, Kansas. On that same date a Protection from Abuse order was issued in the District Court of Crawford County, Kansas against Duane Wahl and Deputies of the Sheriff's Department was attempting to locating Wahl to serve him with the order at his home.
Later that afternoon, Michelle Davis, Richard Davis' wife reported Richard Davis missing. Law Enforcement was already present at Wahl's the residence attempting to locate Wahl. Wahl was located in the town of Mulberry and he requested to go to his residence to pick up clothing. Law enforcement escorted Wahl to his residence. Michael Krieger, a newly hired EMT traveling with law enforcement was standing outside of Wahl's residence and noticed that Wahl was attempting to throw water on something on his driveway. Once Wahl left the residence, Krieger notified the Deputies that were present about what he had witnessed and took him to the location of where Wahl was. Law enforcement noticed what they believed to be blood on the driveway. They immediately secured the scene and contacted Det. Stu Hite of the Sheriff's Department to investigate. The following day, Wahl's vehicle was later secured and after obtaining a search warrant for his vehicle, Hite and Special Agent Steve Roseborough noticed that there was blood splatter inside the trunk of Wahl's vehicle. They also noticed that the trunk had appeared to be cleaned with bleach.
DNA results conducted by the Criminalistics Laboratory at the Johnson County Sheriff's Department concluded that the blood found on the driveway and in the trunk belonged to Richard Davis and Duane Wahl was charged with 1st degree premeditated murder.
During this time frame, no injuries where ever witnessed by law enforcement of Duane Wahl. Wahl was interviewed by law enforcement and after waiving his Miranda rights he agreed to speak to law enforcement. Wahl spoke to law enforcement on multiple occasions and each time was read his Miranda rights and each time he waived those rights. Wahl provided multiple inconsistent statements varying from Richard Davis still being alive to Richard Davis being abducted by individuals to Richard Davis being dead.
During the pendency of the investigation, numerous search parties were unsuccessful in locating Richard Davis and no contact was ever made from Richard Davis to his family.
On January 17, 2010 Matthew Wahl and Jason Barrett, the brothers of Duane Wahl contacted law enforcement and stated that they were at a field located West of 270th Street on 660th Ave. in rural Mulberry, Kansas, and they have found what appeared to be the head of a human being buried in the field and they immediately stopped digging. They were directed to this location by the Defendant, Duane Wahl, after Wahl had provided a detailed map to his mother through a third party. The map prepared by Wahl and given to his family was turned over to law enforcement.
Law enforcement arrived at the scene and unearthed the body which was found in a shallow grave. The body was later identified to be Richard Davis.
An autopsy was performed my Dr. Erik Mitchell and determined that Richard Davis died as a result of blunt trauma to the head. He further found that Richard Davis had depressed fractures to the right temple, occipital fracture, facial fractures, and lacerations to the left forehead.
Based on all the evidence, the State believes that it would have shown beyond a reasonable doubt had this matter been taken to a jury that on or about the 30th day of October 2009 that Duane Wahl killed Richard Davis with premeditation.
The facts for premeditation that the State would have relied upon are as follows:
1) numerous inconsistent statements made by the defendant.
2) the defendant attempting to conceal and destroy blood evidence on his driveway and trunk.
3) lack of injuries on the defendant.
4) no indication of provocation.
5) type of injuries on Richard Davis' body
6) actions by the defendant after the murder including burying the body in a shallow grave.
Updated August 12, 2010 - 1:25 PM CST: A Four State man charged with murder is now ruled competent to stand trial. Attorneys agreed Thursday morning in Crawford County court that Duane Wahl of Mulberry is now able to go to trial for murder.
Four months ago a judge ruled him incompetent to stand trial after a mental evaluation.
That ruling was reversed today.
Wahl is charged with killing Richard Davis.
Davis was reported missing last October.
Authorities arrested Wahl in December and charged him with murder, a month before finding Davis' body.
A tip lead them to a field in rural Crawford County where they found Davis, buried in a shallow grave.
Now that Wahl has been ruled competent to stand trial. His preliminary hearing will be held in October.
Updated April 5, 2010 - 6:00 PM CST: A court finds an accused killer incompetent to stand trial. The ruling came in a hearing Monday for Duane Wahl.
He will now go to Larned, Kansas State Mental Facility for evaluation.
Wahl is charged in the death of Richard Davis.
Davis had gone missing last October. His body was found in a shallow grave near Mulberry, Kansas in January.
A relative of Duane Wahl tipped off law enforcement to the possible location of Davis's body and Wahl was charged even before the body was recovered.
Wahl could remain at Larned for six months to determine if he can become competent to stand trial.
If he can not be successfully treated, he will remain in a mental facility indefinitely.
Updated Jan 19, 2010 - 4:33 PM CST: CRAWFORD COUNTY, KAN. - The body authorities found Sunday in Crawford County, Kansas is that of Richard Davis, a man reported missing last October by his family.
On Sunday officials received a tip about the location of his body.
Officers with the Crawford County sheriff's office, along with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, unearthed the man's body on Monday.
The site was a mile north of Mulberry where Davis lived.
Duane Wahl has been charged with murder in the case.
Crawford County Sheriff Sandy Horton says they know the cause of death but are not releasing it at this time.
Sheriff Horton says it was one of Wahl's family members that called in the tip to authorities.
Updated Jan 18, 2010 - 5:00 PM CST: The Crawford County sheriff believes a body found Sunday around 5:30 p.m. could be the body of Kansas man who has been missing since October.
Forensics teams comb through the evidence at a shallow grave site just north of Mulberry, Kansas.
"It's important that we collect every single piece of evidence that might be around that body or on that body so it's going to be a long effort," says Sheriff Sandy Horton.
The sheriff believes the body could be that of Richard Davis, a man who went missing from Mulberry, Kansas in October.
Duane Wahl is facing charges for the death of Davis.
It was a family member of Wahl that gave law enforcement the location of the body.
"We got a family member telling us this is where to look, this is where to dig, but we aren't going to make any assumptions until we have the facts in front of us and we know this is who we are talking about."
While the Crawford County sheriff waits for the identity of the body to return from Topeka investigators hope it could be a strong piece of evidence in a murder trial and closure for the victims family.
"We had a very strong forensics case already and the county attorney agreed with our idea of a forensics case and agreed that we did in fact have a strong case against Mr. Wahl or he wouldn't have filed charges," Sheriff Horton says. "Discovering this body is initially very important for his family but secondarily it is just as important for the case."
While locating Richard Davis's body has been the main goal in the case against Duane Wahl, Sheriff Horton says there is still work to be done by his department.
"We're going to continue to investigate this case. This is a law enforcement issue. At this point we're going to pursue further, we really can't change what Mr. Wahl's charge is at this time, because one we have a body, but two we don't know who. We have to get that thoroughly completed and that identification done."
Duane Wahl is in custody at the Crawford County jail without bond.
No word yet on the cause of Richard Davis' death at this time.
Updated Jan 18, 2010 - 2:03 PM CST: Authorities find a body in a shallow grave and a Four State sheriff hopes it is the evidence they need to shore up a murder case.
Crawford County Sheriff Sandy Horton says the body was found Sunday about 5:30 p.m. They are now collecting evidence at the scene.
Once the body is removed from the site it will go to Topeka for autopsy.
That is when they hope to learn the body is that of Richard Davis.
Davis was reported missing by his family on October 30.
Officials have charged Duane Wahl with Davis' murder. They filed the charges before the body was even found. Sheriff Horton said the evidence they had already collected was strong enough for murder charges.
Authorities hope to have a positive identification Monday afternoon.
Updated Dec 11, 2009 - 5:15 PM CST: CRAWFORD COUNTY, KAN. - Duane Wahl has made his first court appearance in Crawford County.
An attorney was appointed to represent him on the murder charge and on a separate charge of burglary.
Authorities believe Wahl killed his former roommate, Richard Davis, who has been missing since the end of October.
The Crawford County Sheriff's Department continues to search for Davis' body.
Wahl is awaiting sentencing on a previous conviction for aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
Updated Dec 10, 2009 - 8:00 PM CST: MULBERRY, KAN. - A man involved in a series of crimes is now facing a charge of first degree murder. Duane Wahl is facing a charge of first degree murder for the death of his roommate, Richard Davis.
The Crawford County sheriff says investigators immediately suspected foul play when Richard Davis, 37, was reported missing on October 30.
At the time of his disappearance Davis was living in Mulberry, Kansas in a house with Duane Wahl, the man now charged with his murder.
"I will not be able to discuss a lot of the details but it is so complicated and there are so many issues involved that it's going to be very confusing to the general public," says Sheriff Sandy Horton.
The two men lived in a Mulberry home with Wahl's then girlfriend and Davis's wife and children.
Anna Khan says she broke her relationship with Wahl after police said he staged a drive by shooting at his own home.
"I was yelling at him one night about shooting the house," Khan told us. "And I was screaming 'what if you had hit Nola? What if you had hit Bailey? What were you thinking?' And he goes 'I wasn't.'"
In 2008 Wahl was charged with aggravated indecent liberties with a child in 2008.
Wahl has since been convicted of that crime and is now awaiting sentencing.
Khan says that is when he started behaving strangely.
"I think he thought he didn't have any control over other stuff so maybe he could have control over something, everybody wants control in their life no matter what it is," Khan says.
But police say just days after Wahl committed two thefts in Crawford County he killed Richard Davis, whose body is still missing.
"We have not found the body of Richard Davis and there's still work to be done," Sheriff Horton says. "We still have some things to follow up but when we received the DNA results late yesterday afternoon we felt comfortable enough and visited with the county attorney and he's been involved of course on the investigative side, but we felt there was enough there to make the arrest and we did."
Duane Wahl's name first surfaced after a dog shooting incident in McCune, Kansas. McCune Mayor Don Call admittedly shot and killed two of Wahl's dog on February 1, 2009.
Wahl is scheduled to make his first appearance in court in connection with his murder charge Friday morning.
Updated Dec 10, 2009 - 11:00 AM CST: CRAWFORD COUNTY, KAN. - The missing person case of Richard Davis from Mulberry, Kansas is now a murder case. Crawford County officials have been looking for Richard Davis since the end of October.
His wife reported him missing and Sheriff Sandy Horton says they have suspected foul play in the man's disappearance but could not locate a body.
While Davis' body still has not been found authorities say they have enough to file murder charges.
A McCune, Kansas man recently convicted of indecent liberties with a child is in custody for the murder.
Updated Nov. 13, 2009: A Mulberry, Kansas man pleads guilty to indecent liberties with a child under the age of 16.
Duane Wahl, 33, will be sentenced in January.
In October we brought you another story involving Wahl. The Crawford County Sheriff's Office received a call from Wahl, who said he had been shot at by a man driving by his house.
Posted Nov 2, 2009 - 6:02 PM CST: Crawford County, Kansas Sheriff Sandy Horton says foul play is suspected in the disappearance of Richard Davis of Mulberry.
Davis has been reported missing since around noon on Friday.
He is 37 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds. He has blond hair and blue eyes and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a gray t-shirt, and a denim jacket.
Sheriff Horton asks anyone with information to call the Crawford County sheriff's office at (620) 724-8274.
Posted Oct 5, 2009 06:22 PM CDT: MULBERRY, KAN. - A drive-by shooting in Mulberry, Kansas with ties to another story of violence we brought you several months ago.
The Crawford County Sheriff's Office received a call Monday afternoon from a man who said he had been shot at by a white male driving a newer model silver Toyota truck.
The man who reported the shooting is Duane Wahl, whose dogs were shot by McCune Mayor Don Call earlier this year.
In that dispute, the mayor claimed the dogs were menacing the neighbors. Wahl said the animals were chained in his yard.

Chapter 104 Reviews
Dumbledore thinks that something drastically must happen in order to win the fight against Voldemort ... and he finds an ancient disease, which turns the three victims into walking bombs ... he inf...
Beta reader for this chapter: grookill (Tom)
(A/N: this paragraph is a segment from the previous chapter)
"Yes, he told me about the proposals of my father, and my grandfather, and he came up with the information how I must propose to Ginny and Romilda. Tinky also told me about the family history it was very entertaining. She is already in the family for three Potter's generations."
Arthur looked surprised to Harry. "So, you asked the house elves for advice, how to make a proposal?"
Everyone was laughing, and Harry became Weasley red.
The grandfather clock, standing in their bedroom next to the door, showed three o'clock in the morning. The clock was a present of the muggle Queen Victoria to the Potter's family more then hundred years ago. The clock was an original Lancaster clock and was signed by John Hoff, a well-known clockmaker from 1810. According Tinky, Harry's grandfather loved the clock.
Ginny and Romilda were making fun of him by asking if the clock could stand in their bedroom, and were teasing him to become ancient. The only thing what was lacking was the gray beard and pipe. Harry was defending himself by claiming that the clock was a connection with his past and family, but in truth, he simply liked the clock.
Harry could not sleep. The girls were sleeping on the left and right from him. The leg from Romilda lay over his stomach, and Ginny lay closely pressed against him. He felt her soft breasts pressing against his upper arm. He realized that everything he had in his life lay in his bed here. His fiancées and his children were all here, all eight of them. He guessed that the family he always had dreamed about was to become a large family.
First, he was alone, and suddenly he had a family with nine members, including him. He was curious if the girls wanted to have more children. He personally would not mind. That meant also Quidditch for his family, one team was already complete. He smirked.
Harry felt something stirring in himself. He felt restless, on the edge. He looked around his bedroom. All clothes were thrown on the ground, his eyes focused on the silky and sexy underwear of the girls, and he realized that the girls were only wearing - what were they wearing? Harry lifted the blankets to look at Ginny and his eyes went wide. Then he lifted the blanks to look at Romilda, also naked.
The girls were so beautiful, and when they slept, the looked so innocent. Their breasts looked so perfect and beautiful and soft, made to be touched, to be sucked on. Then his sight wandered over Romilda's body to her belly. He knew that there were three children growing, his children. Harry wanted to touch her, feel her warmth, her softness.
The feeling of restlessness was back again. The feeling came in waves, like the tide of the sea. This time the restlessness became stronger then ever before. A soft reddish glow appeared above his chest, straight through the blankets. Harry was not afraid, only surprised. He looked more careful to the glow, like a transparent cloud of red mist, floating 5 centimeters above his chest. What the hell was that?
He looked to his girls, they were stirring. They might wake up soon, was that because he felt restless and they felt it as well? Harry did not make any noise, neither any sudden movement. The mist above his chest became somewhat solid, less transparent. Harry felt his magic whirling again, but this time he felt his magic being connected to the reddish glow above his chest.
The mist changed form, it became an orb, still floating above his chest. Suddenly two orbs appeared next to his orb, both orbs had the same color as his, also red. The orbs moved to each other, and, they merged!
Harry felt his magic, a magical boom exploded out of Harry and the girls, traveling outward. The girls were instantly awake and scared.
"What happened?" asked Romilda with a high voice. Ginny was looking around her, then to Harry. "What was that?"
"I don't know, felt like a magical explosion," answered Harry. He pulled both girls closer to him, and told them about the orbs before the magical explosion.
"Is that the Magical Complex disease?" asked Romilda. "Are we going to die?"
Harry shook his head. "I don't think so, because I feel very much alive, more then ever. I feel even an excess of magic in me. What about you two?"
"That is true," answered Ginny amazed. "I feel like I am overcharged with magic." Little tendrils of blue and green energy crackled from her fingertips. The threesome looked amazed to Ginny's fingers.
"Wow," exclaimed Romilda. "That is so cool."
She brought her hand from under the blankets and looked at her fingers. Her fingers had little tendrils of blue and green energy as well, which crackled with energy. She pointed his hand towards the closet and shook her hand, trying to release the energy. A blue flaming spark flew from her hand towards the closet. The spark exploded against the closet.
At that moment, the door from their bedroom opened and a scared Mr. and Mrs. Vane appeared on the doorstep.
"What happened?" managed Mrs. Vane to say before she and her husband were blasted out of the door against the wall of the corridor. Romilda had her hand stretched out towards her parents, an astonished expression on her face. What did she do? What had she done?
Harry took charge immediately. He accio-ed his clothes, jumped out of bed, and try to dress him self quickly, while calling for Tinky.
Tinky popped into the bedroom.
"Tinky, please check if the parents of Romilda are alright, they are in the corridor," asked Harry, busy to pull on his trousers. Harry was cracking of magical energy; the elf looked amazingly to Harry.
Harry felt the eyes of the elf on him, and looked up. "What?"
"Nothing master," the elf replied astonished. "I look for Mr. and Mrs. Vane," she shrieked and popped away. The girls were looking wide-eyed to Harry. "Harry, you are glowing!"
Harry looked to the girls. "So do you two as well!" said a dumbfounded Harry.
Mr. and Mrs. Vane stumbled into the bedroom. "What was that?" Mr. Vane asked. Tinky was following them closely.
"Mr. and Mrs. Vane, you are about to the bedroom from the master and the mistresses, you are not allowed," the little elf shrieked angrily. Mr. and Mrs. Vane did not pay the little elf heed, and the elf pointed her little finger to Romilda parents. The threesome felt the power of the elf building up. Before the elf could release her elven magic on Romilda's parents, Ginny interfered.
"Tinky, no" shrieked Ginny.
The little elf froze for a moment, looked briefly to the girls on bed, nodded sharply, and retreated; she guarded the door and looked wearily to Romilda parents.
Mr. Vane looked to the little elf. "Would she attack us?" he said incredulously.
"Yes, dad, she would remove you from our bedroom," Romilda said annoyed.
"But honey puns, we were alarmed because of that magical wave we noticed some moments ago. We thought that something terrible happened with you," her father replied.
They were all disturbed by noises coming from the outside of the bedroom. Mrs. and Mr. Weasley stood in front of an enraged house elf, Bill and Charlie stood behind their parents.
"Let them come in as well, Tinky," Ginny said tiredly. "Half of the house holding is here already."
The Weasley's stormed into the bedroom, looking anxious and worried. Bill and Charlie noticed the state of undress of Ginny and Romilda, ogling Romilda and raised their eyebrows questioning Ginny, but said nothing.
"What happened?" asked Mrs. Weasley. Suddenly she stopped when she saw that the Harry and the girls were surrounded by a mysterious reddish glow. Harry stood next to the bed, only dressed in his trousers, while the two girls were lying in bed, hardly covered under a blanket, obviously naked.
She became instantly red. "What is going on here, and why are you in this bedroom with two naked girls, Harry James Potter?"
"That I like to know as well," Mr. Vane added.
"The girls are already pregnant with his children, and he is the master of this house, and he is engaged with the girls and all of you are breaking into his private bedroom with his brides to be. And you are only here as his guests, I would say that you are or very foolish, or you have a death wish," a voice said from the door.
Everyone turned around and looked at the regal looking woman, Narcissa Black, standing in front of the bedroom door.
All present in the room turned questionable to the threesome, who was glaring to the uninvited guests.
"Well, it seems that we are not welcome here," said Mrs. Weasley undignified.
"Mum and Dad, go to the dining hall and wait there. We will come shortly," Ginny said, very obviously annoyed. She radiated strong magic, noticeable by all. "And thank you Narcissa," she added in a more relaxed tone of voice.
Narcissa Black nodded and left the room.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley looked unsure to the threesome. "Well, let's go to the dining hall and wait for an explanation," Mrs. Weasley said. She turned, grabbed the arm of her husband, and left the room without looking back. Bill and Charlie left as well.
"Honey puns," began Mr. Vane.
"No, dad, you go to the dining hall as well, like Mr. and Mrs. Weasley," Romilda said irritated.
"But Honey puns, I am your father," whined Mr. Vane.
"Out" barked Romilda, broadcasting an additional magical wave.
Mr. and Mrs. Vane hastened them selves to leave the room towards the dining room.
"Tinky," Harry called.
Tinky appeared in front of Harry. "Yes, Master?"
"I want you to tell us what properties we have in Europe," Harry said.
All guests from Potter's Manor were collected in the dining hall, discussing the latest happenings of the threesome. Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Vane were very upset because of the outrageous behavior of their daughters with Harry, while Mrs. Vane and Mr. Weasley were looking at the spectacle in front of them.
"If I am not mistaken, we are going to see a nice show with a lot of fireworks in a few minutes, I believe," whispered Bill to Charlie. Charlie grinned, but could not say anything further, because the door to the dining hall opened and the threesome marched into the dining hall. "Well, the show has begun," he said in anticipation.
The threesome walked towards the table, where everyone was sitting. Mrs. Weasley opened her mouth to tell what she had on her heart. She was stopped by a hand gesture of Harry, who held up his hand.
"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, we have found a nice little castle near the place where Fleur and her family live, with the name "Le Drapeau", which means 'The Flag' in French. This castle is perfect for you and the rest of your family, it is hidden, guarded, and secured, and it is beautiful. You leave within one hour, the Portkeys are being made as we speak, and the house elves in 'Le Drapeau' are busy to prepare the castle for you."
He turned to Mr. and Mrs. Vane.
"For you both, we have a nice castle as well, also in France with the name 'La Rivière', which means 'the river'. This castle is located in the south of Paris, twenty kilometers from your uncle, Mr. Vane. The portkey is also ready within an hour. You both leave as well."
Everyone was flabbergasted. Bill and Charlie were laughing.
"Elves are being dispatched to your homes to collect your personal belongings, which you will find in your rooms at the castles, and to seal your homes.
Mr. Weasley and Mr. Vane, both of your salaries are continued to be paid, do not worry about that. We want you out of England for the time being, as we have enemies in the form of a crazy Dark Lord and a dangerous Gray Lord with the name of Dumbledore, who are not only hunting us, but you as well.
For the piece of mind for your daughters and my self, I want you out of here and safe. What we are doing in our manor here is only our business. Guarding the innocence of your daughter is absurd, and much too late. I am an honorable man, and I am more then willingly to take my responsibilities very serious by marrying your daughters.
Have a nice trip, all of you."
The threesome turned and left the dining hall. In their wake were three elves waiting for them.
"I want that we marry in 'Le Palais'", said Ginny dreamily. "That white palace there somewhere near Nice where Pinky talked about."
Romilda agreed. "Harry, please," she said.
Harry smiled to his fiancées. "What ever my girls want, we do. However, I have absolute no idea what the 'Le Palais' is and how it looked like.
"That doesn't matter," said Ginny satisfied, "we will manage," and smiled sweetly to Harry. I think that you deserved a big reward. Romilda, what do you think?"
"A reward, yes, I like that very much."
At that moment, Pinky popped in the room.
"Master, Mistresses," she said. "Your parents and family are all portkeyed to their respective locations, including Mr. Ron Weasley and his girlfriend Luna Lovegood and her father, as you have instructed me to do."
"Thank you, Pinky. The manor is again from us again," sighted Harry.
"Welcome Severus, what news you have to bring?" sneered Voldemort.
"Potter disappeared and can not be found by the headmaster, Master. He and his two hookers are hiding them selves somewhere. His two hookers are pregnant; both of them with triplets and all of babies are girls. Dumbledore wants to kill four babies, and keep two of them.
He mentioned the prophecy, which tells that or Potter or you, my master must fight and only one of you will survive. Also according Dumbledore, the prophecy states that Potter has the power, you do not know, except that such power did not appear in Potter. He hopes to find that power when the babies are born.
I know that Potter and his hookers are suffering from the Triangle Complex disorder. Dumbledore had infected them in secret with it."
Voldemort looked at the potion master.
"That is interesting news, Severus," Voldemort said thoughtfully.
"You know, Severus. I think it is about time that the role of our dear headmaster will be published. I want that you spread the information to all parties interested about the role our esteemed headmaster is playing with our savior of the Wizarding World, like the Daily Prophet, what do you think?"
"Yes Master," Snape said.
"Well, don't stand there, do it!"

Wonderful! I've been making this recipe exactly as given for special occasions over the past year or so and it's always a hit. I do often make ahead and refrigerate - but add at least another 10 minutes to cooking time when do so.
Creamy Grits Casserole

ale404 Posted: 12/23/10
Fantastic. Just the right creamy texture for grits. I added a few slices of crispy bacon for more flavor. It is a bit time consuming for a breakfast dish, so I may experiment with mixing the night before, refrigerating, then baking in the morning. Will definitely make again.
CindyW Posted: 02/05/13
I barely finished 1 serving, which was hard to do. Certainly won't make it again.
jrdismukes Posted: 12/29/12
This is now my default cheese grits casserole recipe, however I use 8 oz. Cheddar and 6 oz. American cheese. Always well received.
gagl03 Posted: 11/18/12
This is AWESOME! I made it twice exactly per recipe and everyone wants to know the recipe.
carolguettler Posted: 10/06/13
My brother-in-law makes this fabulous recipe !:-) :-)
xochristy Posted: 04/25/14
This was really tasty. Brought it to work for a breakfast potluck and everyone loved it. I made it the night before, didn't bake until the next morning. I used shredded colby and monterey jack cheeses instead of the ones listed. I also sauteed 1/2 onion finely chopped in the butter. I think that really makes a difference.

Italy's Mount Etna erupted Tuesday night, sending out a amazing display of shooting lava and hot ash that lit up the night sky.
Mount Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe, the Atlantic points out, and is known for regular activity.

The activity has increased in recent months, however.
It erupted on Feb. 19 and the following couple of days, and again on Feb. 23 and 27. On Feb. 28, astronaut Chris Hadfield captured images of what the volcano looked like erupting from space.

The Long RangersPosted: October 23, 2013 Filed under: Chris Ballard, NBA, Sports Illustrated Cover, Weekly Press Release | Tags: 2013 NBA, basketball, Chris Ballard, Golden State Warriors, NBA, NBA Playoffs, NBA Preview, sports illustrated, Stephen Curry Comments Off
How's this for the next great NBA tag team? One is 6'7" and 207 pounds and the prototypical NBA wing. The other lacks strength, can't jump and is freakishly skilled. There has never been a backcourt like the Warriors' Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, two young gunners whose shooting range astounds even themselves.
Writes Chris Ballard, "If Thompson is a classic NBA type, Curry is an outlier. While many stars are considered blueprints for the next generation—seven-footers who shoot threes, linebacker-sized point forwards—Curry is a throwback. No GM would scour the college ranks for slight, 6′ 3″ guards who fit the "Curry model," because there are none. You could call him a small, scoring, hybrid point guard, but that's not accurate. What he really is the best long-range shooter in NBA history."
Both Curry and Thompson are NBA legacies. Dale Curry, father of Stephen, played 16 seasons in the NBA and is the franchise leader in points (9,839) and three-point field goals made (929) for the New Orleans Pelicans' (formerly the Charlotte Hornets). Mychal Thompson played 12 seasons in the league and won two titles with the Lakers. Writes Jenkins, "Ask the fathers how much of their sons' success is genetic and how much is due to everything else, and they struggle to answer. Mychal thinks for a while, then settles on 50% genes, 50% other factors. Dell puts it at 25/75: "You can have a great skill set, but if you don't work to develop it, it won't get you that far." Genetics aside, there has never been a pair of teammates like Thompson and Curry. | SI senior writer Chris Ballard
The Nets New NucleusPosted: October 23, 2013 Filed under: Chris Mannix, NBA, Sports Illustrated Cover, Weekly Press Release | Tags: 2013 NBA, basketball, Brooklyn Nets, Chris Mannix, NBA, NBA Playoffs, NBA Preview, Nets, sports illustrated Comments Off
When Paul Pierce persuaded Kevin Garnett to play for the Nets—and for rookie coach Jason Kidd—it clinched the deal of the summer. Now the clock is already ticking on a group of highly paid but aging stars as they strive to lead the franchise to its first NBA championship and give new meaning to the Beastie Boys' addage, "No Sleep Till Brooklyn." Writes Chris Mannix, "Perhaps the most persistent concern is what Garnett, 37, and Pierce, 36, have left, a question that was raised after the Celtics lost in the first round last spring. "Don't read too much into that," says then Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "When [Rajon] Rondo went down, we asked them to do too much. They went from trying to mesh into the team to having to carry it again. But Paul can play forever; he never uses his athleticism. And Kevin—as long as you watch his minutes—can still be Kevin Garnett."
Kidd is as attuned to the modern game and player as any, even though he is lacking in procedural aspects and experience at the helm. Last season he was a veteran player. This season he will be the boss, but not so far removed from his fraternity of brothers in the locker room. "Unlike most first-year coaches, Kidd isn't expected to develop talent, but rather to make full use of a surplus of it," writes Mannix. "Kidd understands that on a team loaded with stars, he is potentially its biggest liability. Still, his philosophy will blend the approaches of the men he played for." | SI senior writer Chris Mannix
This Joint Is Jumpin': Derrick Rose's New KneePosted: October 23, 2013 Filed under: Jenny Vrentas, NBA, Sports Illustrated Cover, Weekly Press Release | Tags: 2013 NBA, basketball, Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose, Jenny Vrentas, NBA, NBA Playoffs, NBA Preview, sports illustrated Comments Off
A year and a half after he tore his left ACL, 2011 MVP Derrick Rose is back. But will he be as good as new? Rose is one of 12 top NBA players who are attempting to return from knee surgery. Vrentas writes, "According to a 2010 article in the Sports Health journal that tracked the league's injuries through a 17-year period, no other body part causes more missed games in the NBA than the knee. As players continue to get bigger with each passing season, and as the game has become more acrobatic, their bigger and stronger bodies place a greater strain on the knee as they twist and turn and jump. This applies to ACL injuries as well as tears to the meniscus, the C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee joint."
Rose was criticized by fans and media for sitting out last season instead of making a speedy recovery as did Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who returned to play nine months after tearing his left ACL. "NBA players recovering from knee surgeries face unique demands, including an 82-game season," writes Vrentas. A sustained pace with dozens of sharp, abrupt movements; up to 12 minutes per quarter; and little margin for error in the essential skill of shooting. Returning to the court after knee surgery may take longer in the NBA than in other professional sports, like the NFL." | SI writer Jenny Vrentas
The Post Man Rings TwicePosted: October 23, 2013 Filed under: Lee Jenkins, NBA, Sports Illustrated Cover, Weekly Press Release | Tags: 2013 NBA, basketball, Dwight Howard, Houston Rockets, Lee Jenkins, NBA, NBA Playoffs, NBA Preview, sports illustrated Comments Off
Class is in session for Dwight Howard in Houston. The topic? Offense. Despite being a seven-time NBA All-Star and three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Howard's inside game is built on power and little else. That could change under the tutelage of the most balletic pair of old-school big men the game has ever seen: Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin McHale. Writes Jenkins, "While Olajuwon methodically expanded his repertoire through 17 seasons in Houston, showcasing his speed with a balletic array of spins and counters, Howard's routine remained fairly constant, forcing up those baby hooks."
Olajuwon, who won two NBA titles with the Rockets, believes versatility is the one thing preventing Howard from being great. "You can't have one move," Olajuwon says. "It's like having one outfit. I'm not going to wear the same thing to the party that I do to the gym."
Howard worked with Olajuwon while he was with Orlando. Soon after Howard signed with the Rockets last July, McHale invited The Dream to once again become part of the team to help coach Howard and several of the team's other big men, including 7-foot center Omer Asik. "How can we get Dwight better?" McHale asks. "That's what we talk about. If we did nothing, and he played the way he has his entire career, he'd still be the best big guy in the NBA. But if Hakeem and I can give him a couple more tools, and he can master those, what a complement that would be." | SI senior writer Lee Jenkins
Merrily They (Pick and) Roll AlongPosted: October 24, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized, Weekly Issue | Tags: Dwight Howard, Lee Jenkins, NBA, NBA Preview, pick-and-roll, SI, sports illustrated, Steve Nash Comments Off
Lee Jenkins Investigates Why the Pick-and-Roll is the Surest Way into the NBA
The pick-and-roll has been a pillar of NBA offenses since Oscar Robertson and Lenny Wilkens were delivering pocket passes, but never has the set permeated playbooks as it does today. Powerhouses like James Harden, Derrick Rose and Chris Bosh may make it look simple, but Sports Illustrated's "Data by Synergy Sports Technology" proves that a skilled pick artist has become a standby that teams are relying on more than ever before. Weber State coach, Randy Rahe is convinced that the pick is now invaluable to college basketball, "Pick-and-roll is such a big part of the NBA … so it only made sense to add more of it to our offense" (page 66).

Volvo will introduce a "virtually production-ready" plug-in hybrid version of it's V60 sports wagon at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. Expected to hit showroom floors in 2012, the hybrid V60 splices together a 2.4-liter D5 turbodiesel driving the front wheels with a 70 horsepower electric motor at the rear axle. According to Volvo this configuration delivers incredibly miserly fuel consumption of 124 mpg (1.9 l/100 km) along with the ability to cover 31 miles (50 km) using only the electric drive. Read More

Volkswagen to unveil 261 mpg XL1 prototype in Qatar
At the dawn of the millennium, Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Piëch, who is today Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG, set his sights on creating a practical everyday use production car with a fuel consumption of 1.0 liter per 100 km (235 mpg). In 2002 a prototype VW 1-Litre was unveiled, which was followed in 2009 by the second-generation model, dubbed the L1, which boasted a combined diesel fuel consumption figure of 1.38-liter/100 km (170 mpg). As impressive as that figure is, the company has now managed to squeeze a combined fuel consumption of just 0.9-liter/100 km (261 mpg) with its third-generation VW 1-Litre prototype – the XL1.

If the universe is expanding - what is it expanding into?
what is THAT space called
and why isn't it part of the universe now?

Jul 26 2012: Quoted from Wiki Answers - I think this isa very good answer:
"There is no 'edge' to our Universe; even if you were able to somehow able to travel faster than light, and go beyond our observable universe, you would never encounter an edge, no matter how far you looked. Likewise, the Earth is finite in size, but there is no edge to the Earth; it's a curved surface. Mathematicians would call this a 2-dimensional surface of positive curvature, embedded in 3 dimensions---you can travel around the earth, and eventually end up where you start. The universe works the same way, except that it is a three-dimensional curved surface embedded in four (spatial) dimensions. Just like we can't find the center of the Earth anywhere on its surface, there is no center to the Universe that we can find, because we are stuck on its 3-dimensional surface; the center is in a higher dimension. (I know that sounds bizarre!)"

Jul 26 2012: This is not true anymore. Taurus and donut shaped concepts are now not as popular due to the fact that space is indeed expanding. And the Kepler space program is indeed showing that the universe is flat and expanding outwardly. "spooky action" as Einstein put it aka dark energy seeps into our universe pushing it outwards and indeed onwards. Seriously now think about it. We see as far as light has been able to travel in 13 billion years since the big bang and right down to the second it happened. But we can only this far. That does not mean that there is nothing "spacey" past this point. It just means that is where it began for us. 3 years ago we were pretty sure we were one of kind as far as the Goldylocks zone for habitual planets but look where we are now. We do only perceive in limited dimensions and there are other ones all around us, i personally think the Higgs field has a lot to do with the Brane connecting dimensions but its is just my pipe dream, our universe does not have to be closed to other ones just because we are blind before time. It just means it wasn't our time grandly speaking.

Head cases
A flurry of lawsuits from ex-players question whether the league had their best interests in mind

SINCE ROGER GOODELL became commissioner in 2006, the NFL has taken measures to improve brain safety -- and fend off critics of its concussion policies. These steps continued in this year's playoffs, when the league used sideline video monitors so doctors could replay hits before clearing injured players.
The NFL deserves cheers for immediately reviewing dangerous hits. But a rising chorus of former players is demanding the league be held responsible
Still, on Jan. 31, a multidistrict federal judicial panel approved six of the cases to be tried together in Philadelphia, perhaps within a year. "Here might be the weapon that brings the mighty billionaires to their knees and forces them to accept their liability," says former Vikings guard Brent Boyd, founder of the player advocacy group Dignity After Football.
Although most of the litigants are relatively unknown players, the list includes Hall of Famers Joe DeLamielleure and Tony Dorsett, as well as Ottis Anderson and Jim McMahon. The NFL says players must follow rules spelled out in the labor deal to get help, which means submitting a claim subject to review by arbitrators appointed by the NFL and NFLPA. As league lawyer Beth Wilkinson put it after a hearing in January, "You don't get to come to court." But this isn't just one more round in the long battle over disability benefits for ex-players. Instead, it puts a focus on what the league knew about concussions and when -- and that's difficult ground for the NFL to defend.
For 15 years after its launch in 1994, the NFL's concussions committee denied -- despite vocal opposition from independent researchers -- there was evidence that repeated concussions have ill effects on player health, such as depression and dementia. And the longtime head of the committee,
In 2009, the NFL finally overhauled the committee and admitted for the first time that concussions can lead to long-term problems. But Goodell hasn't exactly cleaned house. Pellman stepped down from the concussion committee but is still the league's chief medical adviser, which underscores the commish's own long-term problem: The NFL can't cling to its old claims that concussions didn't harm players, but it also can't completely repudiate its own research and risk massive liability.
Up to this point, Goodell has tried to blow through the dilemma with forward-looking reforms and initiatives, such as assigning independent athletic trainers to monitor brain injuries on all teams. But now he must choose between a long, public fight in court against injured athletes and a settlement that could cost the NFL hundreds of millions of dollars. Either way, permanent damage has been done.
