Where Mrs. Luetgert Was Seen:
Monmouth, Illinois
According to one story, Mrs. Luetgert stopped in Monmouth. Circus equestrian Daisy Thompson, a resident of Kewanee, said she'd encountered a woman in May sitting alone at the train station in Monmouth, where Thompson and her husband were traveling in a private rail car. Thompson said she was "positive" the woman was Mrs. Luetgert. According to some newspaper reports, this incident actually took place in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. For details of this episode, read the chapter "The Many Mrs. Luetgerts" in Alchemy of Bones.

2014 Kia Forte
Forte 2.0 Keeps Kia Competitive In The Compact Crop Looking back just a few years, America's compact segment was filled with bland, uninteresting cars that traded largely on low prices and high fuel economy. In today's landscape, though, things couldn't be more different – this class now boasts some of the most attractive cars on the market, not to mention features and technologies once reserved for luxury cars. Filling Kia's role in this important market, the 2014 Forte has helped make the South Korean automaker a contender among compact cars with the sedan launching earlier ... Read More

While we were busy ogling new vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept, Maserati Ghibli and Hongqi L9 at the Shanghai Motor Show, Kia was busy unveiling an entire brand. Through its Chinese joint venture, Dongfeng Yueda Kia (or DYK), the South Korean automaker has introduced its new Horki sub-brand and a concept car, simply called the Horki ...
Third time's the charm. The final member of Kia's Forte trio has been revealed here at the New York Auto Show, and this new coupe Koup will join the sedan and five-door models when it goes on sale near the end of this year. The two-door Forte looks sharp, and we like the way Kia's new design language for its compact car has translated onto this coupe ...
The US-bound 2014 Kia Forte first showed up in sedan form back at the LA Auto Show last year, but Kia unveiled the hatchback version of the car today at the Chicago Auto Show. Unlike the current Forte five-door the 2014 will feature styling that is distinct from its sedan counterpart, but the big news is it will also get a few extra ponies under the ...
We've said it a billion times now, but man, Kias are sure looking good these days. And under the lights of the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, we're getting our first look at the next chapter in the Korean brand's quest for beauty, the 2014 Forte sedan. We've given it a good once-over in the flesh, and honestly, it might just be the best-looking car in the ...

The car takes not only the name, but also plenty of styling cues from the KOUP Concept that make it distinctively different from its sedan brother. Up front the Koup receives a more ...
We got our first look at the 2010 Kia Forte earlier this morning, and we are pleased to say that it looks even better in person as it does in photos. The replacement for the Spectra retains many of the design elements first seen on the Koup Concept, and we're glad it does. The complex lines of the side profile and particularly where the A-pillar meets the ...
To the uplifting sounds of blues music, Kia took the wraps off the new Forte (get it? It's musical and it means "strong." Someone give the naming department a cookie) at the Chicago Auto Show today. The Forte will be available in three trim levels: LX, EX and SX. You can read details about the sporty SX over on Autoblog; here we'll focus on the EX and ...
The only thing surprising to us about the 2010 Kia Forte is the name. The Forte debuted in South Korea last summer as a replacement for the compact Spectra sedan, but recently the automaker has indicated that the old name would be retained here in North America. Nomenclature aside, the new Forte is a very attractive little sedan that basic look of the ...

May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?
Afterward I was pumping gas at a station by Goshen High School and a flash of lightening cracked and a burst of thunder roared right above the school.
God reminded me of what I had just read in 1 Samuel 12 where Samuel addressed all Israel saying you wanted a king, the Lord gave you one, but this was not my idea (my thoughts as well). So the people called out to God and confessed about being disobedient in wanting a king and worshiping other idols and said they would worship him alone if God would rescue them from their enemies. Will we repent as a nation?
After the people fell to idols, Samuel called out to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day. Samuel was reminding the people of what great things the Lord had done for them and not to forget it. Samuel told the people not to be afraid and worship the Lord with all their hearts and not to turn their backs to him. If they continued in their sins, the people and the King would be swept away.
Why do we not see the power of God and continue in our stubborn ways? In 2 Timothy 1:7, God's word says: God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.
Can we put our trust in him? I believe there is hope.

Effects of Oscillatory Electric Fields on Internal Membranes: An Analytical Model Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 6, 15 March 2008, Pages 2043-2052 Vijayanand Vajrala, James R. Claycomb, Hugo Sanabria and John H. Miller Abstract We derive an analytical model of the potential differences induced across plasma and internal organelle membranes in suspended cells exposed to oscillatory electric fields. Multiple shells are modeled using iterative applications of the single-shell calculation with mobile charges. This work is motivated, in part, by recent results suggesting the ability to use alternating current (ac) fields to noninvasively monitor enzyme activity within internal membranes, particularly the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Previous work, on induced transmembrane voltages in cells subjected to ac fields, has mainly been limited to oscillatory potentials across the plasma membrane. Here we first develop a three-membrane model, consisting of a plasma membrane surrounding inner and outer membranes representing an internal organelle, such as a mitochondrion. Frequency-dependent transmembrane potentials are modeled for spherical, weakly conducting membrane shells enclosing a conductive cytoplasm surrounding an idealized internal organelle. We then use a two-shell model to simulate induced ac membrane potentials of a suspended isolated mitochondrion in which the outer membrane is usually much more permeable than the inner membrane.

The Dielectric Response of Spherical Live Cells in Suspension: An Analytic Solution Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 9, 1 November 2008, Pages 4174-4182 Emil Prodan, Camelia Prodan and John H. Miller Abstract We develop a theoretical framework to describe the dielectric response of live cells in suspensions when placed in low external electric fields. The treatment takes into account the presence of the cell's membrane and of the charge movement at the membrane's surfaces. For spherical cells suspended in aqueous solutions, we give an analytic solution for the dielectric function, which is shown to account for the α- and β-plateaus seen in many experimental data. The effect of different physical parameters on the dielectric curves is methodically analyzed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (404 kb) |
Electrohydrodynamic Model of Vesicle Deformation in Alternating Electric Fields Biophysical Journal, Volume 96, Issue 12, 17 June 2009, Pages 4789-4803 Petia M. Vlahovska, Rubèn Serral Gracià, Said Aranda-Espinoza and Rumiana Dimova Abstract We develop an analytical theory to explain the experimentally observed morphological transitions of quasispherical giant vesicles induced by alternating electric fields. The model treats the inner and suspending media as lossy dielectrics, and the membrane as an impermeable flexible incompressible–fluid sheet. The vesicle shape is obtained by balancing electric, hydrodynamic, bending, and tension stresses exerted on the membrane. Our approach, which is based on force balance, also allows us to describe the time evolution of the vesicle deformation, in contrast to earlier works based on energy minimization, which are able to predict only stationary shapes. Our theoretical predictions for vesicle deformation are consistent with experiment. If the inner fluid is more conducting than the suspending medium, the vesicle always adopts a prolate shape. In the opposite case, the vesicle undergoes a transition from a prolate to oblate ellipsoid at a critical frequency, which the theory identifies with the inverse membrane charging time. At frequencies higher than the inverse Maxwell-Wagner polarization time, the electrohydrodynamic stresses become too small to alter the vesicle's quasispherical rest shape. The model can be used to rationalize the transient and steady deformation of biological cells in electric fields. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (928 kb) |

Research Article
B. Robertson and R.D. Astumian
A simple, general, and efficient method for calculating the response of a set of coupled first-order (or pseudo-first-order) chemical reactions to an arbitrarily large periodic field is described. The method is applied to a four-state membrane transport enzyme that is electroconformationally coupled to an ac field, i.e., the enzyme has electric charges that move concomitantly with a conformational transition. The calculation is done both for enzymes in a planar membrane and for enzymes in the spherical membrane of a cell or vesicle in suspension.

Jesus teaching known as the Olivet Discourse is recorded in the Synoptic Gospels: Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13. Many scholars will look for a future fulfillment of the predictions Jesus made in the Olivet Discourse. However, a partial preterist view better fits the general context of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple which occurred in 70 AD.
First of all, Jesus began His discourse by His prediction concerning the destruction of the temple. "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down" (Matthew 24:1,2). "And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down" (Luke 21:5,6). "And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here. And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down" (Mark 13:1,2).
Next, crucial to the interpretation of the Olivet Discourse, the disciples asked Jesus when these things would be, namely the destruction of the temple of which Jesus just spoke in the previous verses. Directly following Jesus comments of the temple: "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matthew 24:3). "And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?" (Luke 21:7). "And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?" (Mark 13:3,4). "They" in Luke 21:7 and "the disciples" in Matthew 24:3 are (according to Mark's account) Peter, James, John and Andrew. So, if Jesus is speaking privately to the disciples, this should be the context of what is said.
When shall these things be? What things? The destruction of the Temple. "These things" (Luke 21:7; Mark 13:4) refers to the destruction of the temple and corresponds to Matthew 24:3 in which Matthew recorded, "the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world." Therefore, it can be inferred that "the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world" also refers to the destruction of the temple when Jesus will come in judgment at the end of the world or aion (age) in Greek. Most likely, the word aion (or age) is in reference to the end of the previous age and the beginning of the Messianic age, and not the end of the world. The disciples were unaware of a Second Coming of Jesus at this time, so it is likely they would've understood the end of the aion (or age) to be the end of the current age or Jewish sacrificial system and the beginning of the age of Messiah. Indeed, with Jesus' death on the cross and resurrection, the new age of the church was established with his kingdom. Some partial preterists who have acknowledged that the context of the Olivet Discourse is fulfilled primarily in the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem have made a division in the Olivet Discourse by separating Jesus's response into answering a twofold question: one part applying to the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70 AD (Matthew 24:1-35) and the other applying to the end of the world and Second Coming (Matthew 24:36ff.). This latter position appears to be supported best and is discussed later.
Next, Jesus speaks of false messiahs (Matthew 24:4,5; Luke 21:8; Mark 13:5,6). There is evidence in the book of Acts of false messiahs just before the time of A.D. 70. "For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed" (Acts 5:36,37). "But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries" (Acts 8:9-21). Simon Magus has also been cited as one who claimed to be God that performed great signs and wonders. Justin Martyr wrote,
There was a Samaritan, Simon, a native of the village called Gitto, who in the reign of Claudius Caesar, and in your royal city of Rome, did mighty acts of magic, by virtue of the art of the devils operating in him. He was considered a god, and as a god was honoured by you with a statue, which statue was erected on the river Tiber, between the two bridges, and bore this inscription, in the language of Rome:-"Simoni Deo Sancto," "To Simon the holy God.' (First Apology of Justin, Chapter XXVI)
Origen also spoke of Simon Magus and other false messiahs saying:
Such were Simon, the Magus of Samaria, and Dositheus, who was a native of the same place; since the former gave out that he was the power of God that is called great,4336 and the latter that he was the Son of God. Now Simonians are found nowhere throughout the world; and yet, in order to gain over to himself many followers, Simon freed his disciples from the danger of death, which the Christians were taught to prefer, by teaching them to regard idolatry as a matter of indifference. But even at the beginning of their existence the followers of Simon were not exposed to persecution. For that wicked demon who was conspiring against the doctrine of Jesus, was well aware that none of his own maxims would be weakened by the teaching of Simon. The Dositheans, again, even in former times, did not rise to any eminence, and now they are completely extinguished, so that it is said their whole number does not amount to thirty. Judas of Galilee also, as Luke relates in the Acts of the Apostles,4337 wished to call himself some great personage, as did Theudas before him; but as their doctrine was not of God, they were destroyed, and all who obeyed them were immediately dispersed. (Origen Against Celsus, Book VI, Chapter XI).
The Apostolic Constitutions compiled in 390 AD stated,
And if you desire to know how this matter was among us, Judas was one of us, and took the like part of the ministry which we had; and Simon the magician received the seal of the Lord. Yet both the one and the other proving wicked, the former hanged himself, and the latter, as he flew in the air in a manner unnatural, was dashed against the earth. (Constitutions of the Holy Apostles, Book II, Section III).

Australians Super Wild Horses, Total Control, and UV Race.

Australians Super Wild Horses, Total Control, and UV Race.
Gonerfest 7: In Memphis TN September 23-26, 2010.
T-minus 30 minutes until Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat unveil Parallel Universe at the New Orleans Museum of Art!
Tonight's reception runs from 5:30-9:30PM. Free admission and a cash bar, with a special performance from Quintron. If you can't make it tonight, the exhibition, which is housed in NOMA's second floor Frederick R. Weisman Gallery, will run through May 2, 2010.
Included in the exhibit: Hundreds of Miss Pussycat's puppets, which span the length of her career. An interactive display of Quintron's patented DRUM BUDDY sound machines. An installation of Quintron and his entire recording studio, where he will record a new album, working during museum business hours Wednesdays through Sundays. Members of the public will be invited to enter the recording studio and observe the artist at work.
During his final week of recording, from Wednesday, April 21 to Sunday, April 25, Quintron will not leave the confines of City Park for five consecutive days in order to concentrate fully on completing the project. Adding the final touches to his album by day, the artist will explore the "wilds" of the 1,300-acre urban park by night.
On a weekly basis Quintron will send audio updates (ambient and musical "snapshots" rather than finished recordings) to Open Sound New Orleans, which can then be accessed here.
Two weeks after signing with Matador imprint True Panther Sounds, Goner faves the Magic Kids are officially on the road, along with Girls and the Smith Westerns. Dates below, including a Valentine's Day show at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall with America's sweethearts, Hunx & his Punx.
We caught up with Will McElroy a short time after the band pulled out of Midtown — just ahead of a mammoth ice storm — and onto I-40, headed west:
How many Magic Kids are on tour?
Just five — Katherine and Alice are still in school. We're in Ben's Dodge Ram van. Hopefully we sell more t-shirts at a faster rate than we acquire whatever things we pick up… it's a pretty tight squeeze in here.
What can you tell us about your upcoming debut for True Panther Sounds?
We're planning on trying to record it all in March. We're still working out the details. We've been talking to Doug Easley about using his studio, and we're talking to Shane Stoneback about working on it as an engineer. He's worked on records by Britney Spears and *NSYNC and the last two Vampire Weekend albums.
Most of your fans know just a few Magic Kids songs. What can non-Memphis audiences expect to hear over the next three weeks?
Maybe some new facets to our sound… I don't know if I can describe what that might be. The live set, as it is now, is a little more keyboard-centric since we can't have the orchestra onstage with us. We're trying to get the arrangements to sound as full as they can. We've got more songs for the tour that we haven't played live yet. The newer songs seem harder to play than the other ones, but hopefully it won't sound too convoluted to the audience. Probably most 10-year olds could play them better than us!
Europe and the U.K. are clamoring for the Magic Kids! Any plans to head over there?
No specific plans, but obviously I assume we'll be there sometime in the next year. Definitely by the time the album comes out, if not sooner. We're also playing SXSW this year — don't know which shows yet, but we should know soon.
Expect more news from the Magic Kids — McElroy, Bennett Foster, Alex Gates, Ben Bauermeister and Michael Perry — soon!

Six Teenagers Shot Over Weekend
Updated: Monday, April 1 2013, 12:02 AM EDT
COLUMBUS -- Police are investigating three different shootings scattered across the city. All three shootings reported teenagers as the victims.
The violence began just before 10 o'clock Saturday evening. Police were called to South Ohio Avenue in South Columbus on a report of a teenager shot in the leg.
A 16-year-old was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
Just before 11 o'clock Saturday evening, a fight broke out inside a Community Outreach Center on Cleveland Avenue. Police say the fighting continued minutes later outside the building and several shots were fired.
A 14-year-old was struck by gunfire and taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital. Two others, 16, 17, were also struck and taken to Grant Medical Center.
After 1 o'clock on Sunday morning, two other teenagers were shot outside a home on Eureka Avenue in Columbus' Hilltop neighborhood.
Police say the shootings were the result of an altercation in front of the home. One teenager, 15, was shot in the face with buckshot and the other, 17, was shot in the chest.
Police have not made any arrests in these incidents.

Recently I quit my job in a rest home cafe because thanks to my clientele I have developed a healthy dislike for the elderly. Not all elderly mind you, just the ones who have an unhealthy sense of entitlement. The ones who think that just because you're behind a counter you are a slave. This annoys me because on the street if someone was rude to me I would tell them to *%$^ off. At work, no go.
My story takes place in the cafe one day when we were very busy. We had recently started up this thing called 'Roast of the Day,' and it was proving quite popular. Now people ring ahead and book sometimes for a table in our cafe.
This doesn't count as them ordering lunch however. It just means we save them a seat. I was completely overrun with people ordering left, right and centre (at most we only have two people on because it is a small establishment) so the poor girl on with me was making coffees and serving whilst I was out back making meals and delivering the roasts from the tray line (they get dished up in between the rest home kitchen staff serving the actual rest home meals). In short the roast was the quick easy option, the other meals like fish'n'chips, baked potatoes and soups weren't. I was trying to make everything run together smoothly.
Enter Mr. and Mrs. Paine.
They asked where their reserved table was and I was aghast, realizing we hadn't saved one because I hadn't expected such a mad rush on a Sunday. Luckily, a table was leaving so I cleared it and made it ready for the couple in about ten seconds. They were mildly miffed about it not being properly reserved, but I really didn't care. It was pure luck it had become available, and I stunned them with a brilliant smile. Customers' ruffled feathers always seem to be fine after a smile.
Now, we are a cafe with a very obvious counter where we serve people. There is a large cash register and a coffee machine to the side. We also have a cabinet where you can select sandwiches as well as a pie warmer. Other people were coming up to pay for their meals before getting them. Time passes. I am too busy to really pay any attention to things beyond the kitchen.
Then there is a problem. Katherine, the girl on with me, comes into the kitchen to tell me some people are complaining they never got their lunch. Shit. I come out with her and find Mr. and Mrs. Paine quite angry. Their roasts were never brought to them, they complain. They had been waiting twenty minutes. Everyone else got their food before them. They'd booked a table.
Understandably I was fairly concerned and went to the notepad by the till to try and find out what meal hadn't been delivered. I went back through the entire lunch rush and saw each one had been crossed out as delivered. I look at them and then it dawns on me.
"You reserved a table?" I asked them.
Them: "Yes."
Me: "Did you actually come up and order the roast?"
Them: "No."
Me: "I'm sorry but we didn't have your lunch down because you never asked for it."
Them: "But we said that we wanted the roast when we reserved the table!"
Me: "I'm sorry, that doesn't actually count as ordering, because people have to order and pay at the counter before they get their food."
"Well can we get the roast now then?" Mr. Paine demands. Katherine peeks into the kitchen to ask and then returns with a meek look.
"We're out of the roast." She says in a barely audible whisper.
In New Zealand customers have to buy their food before they get their meals. If you go out for dinner at a restaurant then that's a whole different ball park. Cafes however, because they are so busy, simply serve you at the counter. We have no time to fawn over you at your table. At this point Mr. and Mrs. Paine are positively livid. I try to placate them.
"We have many other meals on the menu." I offer. I search my mind for something helpful to say and remember the sign I wrote this morning. "Our fish 'n' chips come with a delicious salad." I stare expectantly at them, and the hackles soften. They decide to get the fish 'n' chips.
I bring them their meals that are better than the roast anyway. They still seem pissed off about it all so I think, screw it, and give them a free coffee each. Instant beaming smiles. A customer at another table waves me over.
"You're meant to tell the rude customers to %$#^ off, not give them a free coffee." He tells me. I laugh and inform him they'll probably come back now.
And they did. They became goddamn regulars. I was stuck with the annoying Mrs. Paine until I quit. They never did get out of their annoying habit of waiting expectantly at their table to be served. I dealt with it by waiting patiently at the counter, and when they didn't approach, vanished out back until they rang the service bell (which they would have to approach the counter to do). And yes, both of them were elderly. I consider them partly responsible for my new ageist approach to life.
Love from,
--Rest Home Bitch.

McCaskill and Wagner pointing fingers after gov't shutdown
U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D) is chiding House Republicans for failing to allow an up-or-down vote on a so-called "clean funding" bill.
McCaskill released a statement as the midnight deadline passed in Washington, saying the government shutdown will upset economic recovery. She criticized House Speaker John Boehner (R), calling his handing of the budget process "irresponsible political posturing."
The St. Louis County Democrat says the federal government shutdown will hurt Missourians by delaying veterans' benefits, causing furloughs for 39,000 federal employees in Missouri, delaying loans for small businesses and Social Security checks for seniors enrolling in the program for the first time.
During an interview with CNN's Wolfe Blitzer Monday evening, 2nd District Congresswoman Ann Wagoner (R) said the House GOP were the only ones working to avoid the shutdown.
The St. Louis County Republican criticized Senate leadership and President Obama for failing to negotiate over the weekend.
Wagoner issued a statement after the midnight deadline saying that she has waived her salary for the duration of the government shutdown "because congress didn't get the job done." Wagoner blamed the deadlock on "partisan bickering."
McCaskill under fire by sex assault victims' advocates
Senator Claire McCaskill has long been an advocate for victims of sexual assault in the military. So the Missouri Democrat is perplexed this week after being singled out in St. Louis Post Dispatch and Facebook ads calling her a roadblock to reforming the system.
Protect Our Defenders, a Washington-based advocacy group for military sexual assault victims, took aim at McCaskill over her opposition to an amendment proposed by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.
Gillibrand proposes setting up a new independent legal channel to prosecute sexual assaults and other major crimes. The Pentagon and many Democratic and GOP senators oppose the idea.
McCaskill, other senators outraged by dismissal of assault case
"Do you really think that after a jury has found someone guilty, and dismissed someone from the military for sexual assault, that one person, over the advice of their legal counselor, should be able to say, 'Never mind'?" Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., asked Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, the top officer at U.S. Central Command, at a Senate hearing.
Mattis explained that commanders, including female commanders, have the authority to act for a reason. "And I would just tell you that I would look beyond one case," he said.
McCaskill sent a letter to Air Force officials seeking an explanation while Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., wrote to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel asking him to review the case.
The Air Force Times reported last month that Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, a former inspector general at Aviano Air Base in Italy, had been convicted on Nov. 2 on charges of abusive sexual contact, aggravated sexual assault and three instances of conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman. The incident had involved a civilian employee.
Wilkerson was sentenced to a year in prison and dismissal from the service. But Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin, the commander of 3rd Air Force, later dismissed the charges. The Air Force Times reported that Franklin had concluded that the evidence was insufficient to meet the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
"This is a travesty of justice," Boxer and Shaheen wrote. "At a time when the military has unequivocally stated that there is zero tolerance for sexual assault, this is not the message it should be sending to our service men and women, and to our nation."
They asked Hagel for information on what was the basis for Franklin's decision and pressed him to act immediately to restrict such authority to dismiss military court decisions unilaterally.
McCaskill wrote Air Force Secretary Michael Donley and Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, that Franklin's decision "show ignorance, at best, and malfeasance, at worst."
"I strongly urge you to undertake an immediate review of his conduct and consider removing him from his leadership position," the senator wrote.
She pointed out that as the Air Force and "other military organizations are redoubling efforts to erase a culture that has often turned a blind eye on sexual assault, Lt. Gen. Franklin's conduct undermines this important shift."
In January, Welsh likened sexual assault in the Air Force's ranks to a cancer and vowed to tackle the problem by screening personnel more carefully and putting an end to bad behaviors like binge drinking that can lead to misconduct.
Welsh told a House oversight committee that the service recorded a disturbing number of reports of sexual assault last year even as it worked to curb misconduct in the wake of a sex scandal at its training headquarters in Texas. Dozens of young female recruits and airmen at Lackland Air Force Base near San Antonio were victimized by their instructors who sexually harassed, improperly touched or raped them.
Most difficult, Welsh said, is transforming a culture in which victims are often reluctant to report what happened because of guilt, shame or fear they won't be believed.

The father of the only remaining suspect in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway has died in Aruba.
The Aruban newspaper Diario reported Thursday that Paul van der Sloot, 57, died of a heart attack on the Dutch island in the Caribbean. The paper's Web site says he collapsed late Wednesday after playing tennis and was declared dead at a hospital.
Van der Sloot's son Joran has been characterized by Aruban prosecutors as the only suspect in the case. No charges have been filed.
Holloway, from Mountain Brook, Alabama, was 18 when she was last seen leaving a bar in the Aruban capital on the final night of a high school graduation trip. No trace of her has ever been found.

It was a pretty impressive 14 minutes the Ulster man put in on Sunday, and he continued to show his bravery all week.
It was a pretty impressive 14 minutes the Ulster man put in on Sunday, and he continued to show his bravery all week.
Fla says that yes it was heartbreaking on Sunday, but the team are moving in the right direction.
The November internationals were a bit of a mixed bag but the performance against the All-Blacks gave cause for optimism. So should we be more positive about the future of the Irish rugby team after the Autumn? Two JOEs join the debate.
Fla looks at maybe why Ireland underperformed so badly last week, and tells us about
On his day one of the most exciting talents in world rugby, Luke Fitzgerald has had a lengthy battle to overcome injuries, but says he is looking forward to life at Leinster and in the green of Ireland.
After defeat to the Wallabies last weekend, Ireland only have to try and beat the All-Blacks for the first time ever on Sunday. Can they do it? Two JOEs enter the debate?
Whether it's a pub, singing or doing some charity, Fla believes that players do better if they have an off-field passion too.
Fla can do it in any language, he just chose Irish…
Fla says hanging around in international camp isn't all bad and how Jay Z could inspire our national side to greatness.
The moves this week mean we are definitely facing into a brave new rugby world. Question is, how will it pan out?
Fla wants more Irish players to try their luck abroad, while he also talks about Richardt Strauss's heart condition and the possible silver lining for Leinster.
Fla tells us how important a forwards coach is these days and explains away Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski's love of Clare hurling.
Johnny Sexton's book just might be that rarest of things for Fla, one he might actually read…
According to Fla the hardest part of making your Ireland debut is the post-match dinner…
This week Fla talks about the possible demise of the Heineken Cup and why he turned down a move to Clermont in 2009.
In the first of his weekly rugby blogs, Fla previews the new season and why it is now or never for Ulster.
We caught up with Tommy Bowe in Dublin earlier this week to chat about the Lions, Ireland, incriminating photos on Bondi Beach and why Paddy Jackson is a comic genius.
Known as 'Falcons' Down Under, these are bloody brilliant, mate…
Ahead of a very busy few months for Cian Healy, JOE grabbed the Leinster man for a chat about tomorrow's big game with Ulster, his first Lions tour and a whole lot more besides.
Ian McGeechan will always be inextricably linked with the Lions and considering he has been involved in seven tours, his place in history is assured.
Want to help a great cause and do something really cool at the same time?
It is impossible to think of the Lions without thinking of Willie John McBride. So what better week to look at the career of the living legend.
An All Black and Munster legend, Doug Howlett today announced his retirement from rugby. Here's a few of our favourite Dougie memories…
All rugby enthusiasts will be glued to the Lions Series and JOE is delighted to announce that Rob Kearney will be keeping us up to speed from within the camp.
With Warren Gatland set to name his Lions squad tomorrow, JOE looks at some player who are hoping, rather than expecting a call from the Kiwi.
JOE has decided to get some of our best known rugby players into the driving seat in our 'Front Seat Confessionals' series. This week, it's Munster and Ireland flanker David Wallace.
FOX are great at giving us compilations of different types of tries, though we're not sure the front-rowers involved would appreciate this particular description.
Paul O'Connell will face no punishment after his controversial kick to Dave Kearney's head on Saturday evening, but should he have got off scot-free. Two JOEs argue the case.
Warren Gatland will finalise his Lions squad selection two weeks from today, so we knocked our heads together and selected the XV that would make the test team if it were picked on form today.
There is nothing that stokes the passion quite like a derby match between Munster and Leinster. Ahead of tomorrow's clash, JOE looks at five memorable clashes between the two sides.

Dusty had a "mini-stroke"

Re: Dusty may have pneumonia
Dusty Baker suffered a mini-stroke as he was being discharged from Northwestern Memorial Hospital (Chicago) last Friday, the Reds said today. He immediately was treated by the hospitals stroke team, which minimized the effects of the stroke.
Baker returned to Cincinnati Sunday and his condition has improved dramatically, the team said. Baker is expected to make a full recovery and return to the dugout, possibly as soon as the seasons final series in St. Louis Oct. 1-3.
More details to come.

Baker suffered mini stroke
Reds manager Dusty Baker revealed on Tuesday that he suffered a mini-stroke on Friday as he was being discharged from a Chicago hospital.
Baker was initially admitted last Wednesday and diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, also known as an irregular heartbeat.
Chris Speier is managing the team at least through this weekends series at Pittsburgh. Baker is at the ballpark today but is not meeting with reporters. The club held a team meetings this afternoon.
He did come down and address the team and looked great, Speier said. He lost a lot of water weight. Hes anxious, but again its one of those situations where I know today that Im going to manage tonight and Ill probably manage, at this point, probably through Pittsburgh. Then the plan I believe is, hes going to rejoin the team in St. Louis.
Here is the full statement from Baker and the Reds:
While in Chicago on Wednesday, Reds manager Dusty Baker was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital and diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, commonly referred to as an irregular heartbeat. As he was being discharged on Friday, he suffered a mini-stroke and immediately was treated by the hospitals stroke team, which minimized the effects of the stroke.
Dusty returned to Cincinnati on Sunday, and his condition has improved dramatically. His Cincinnati neurologist, Dr. Joseph Broderick, and cardiologists, Dr. Dean Kereiakes and Dr. Daniel Beyerbach, expect Dusty to make a full recovery and return to the dugout, possibly as soon as the seasons final series next week in St. Louis.
Dusty said, While at Wrigley Field I was blessed to have our trainer, Paul Lessard, have the good sense to call in Cubs team physician Dr. Stephen Adams, who examined me in the clubhouse, immediately determined how serious by condition was and personally rushed me to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Dr. Broderick and Dr. Kereiakes are going to make sure Im ready to handle the duties of managing before I return full time. My family and I are very grateful for the support weve received the past few days from Mr. Castellini and our ownership group, Walt, our friends, the baseball family and especially Reds fans. Im feeling much better, and its great being back here in Cincinnati. Chris Speier and my staff are doing a terrific job, and I look forward to getting back to the dugout.

Roman Polanski to Direct Dreyfus Affair Drama 'D'
The filmmaker says the infamous 1890s spy case is relevant to the witch hunts and governmental cover-ups going on today.
Roman Polanski's next film will be the political thriller D, based on the notorious Dreyfus Affair.
D reunites Polanski with The Ghost Writer screenwriter Robert Harris and producers Robert Benmussa and Alain Sarde.
The film will be independently financed. Lionsgate/Summit International is representing foreign rights, while ICM is representing North American rights.
Polanski intends to begin shooting in Paris by the end of the year. Casting is underway.
The Dreyfus Affair is considered one of the most sensational political scandals in history and an enormous miscarriage of justice. In December 1894, Captain Alfred Dreyfus -- one of the few Jewish officers on the general staff of the French Army -- was subjected to a secret court martial after being accused of passing secrets to the Germans.
Dreyfus was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Devil's Island. However, Col. Georges Picquart gradually began to realize that the real traitor was still at large. His efforts to prove his theory caused him to clash with his superiors, and Picquart was framed for crimes he did not commit.
As for Dreyfus, he was eventually was cleared of all charges, but it took 12 years.
"I have long wanted to make a film about the Dreyfus Affair, treating it not as a costume drama but as a spy story," Polanski said in announcing the project.
"In this way one can show its absolute relevance to what is happening in today's world -- the age-old spectacle of the witch hunt on a minority group, security paranoia, secret military tribunals, out-of-control intelligence agencies, governmental cover-ups and a rabid press," he continued.
Lionsgate International will have a substantial presence at the Cannes film market, though it might hold back D for a later market.

Whenever a film flops, the first thing the directors and producers do is crying on media. They tend to pass the buck stating that the websites killed their films with negative reviews. But there are some incidents those give
answers to them.
This year three films were recognized as 'must watch' films by entire web media unanimously. They were Teenmaar, Sri Rama Rajyam and Rajanna. Almost every web portal and also the TV media in general projected these films are the best ones in 'shouldn't be missed' category. But the fate is upside down. Teenmaar slept soon, Sri Rama Rajyam could only get patronage from old people in weekends. Rajanna had no openings at all. This is not the first time that happened. Even in previous years, the film Don of Nagarjuna got unanimous negative reviews. But the film turned super success. Balakrishna's Simha got unanimous poor to average reviews. But that became a block buster of 2010. Andari Bandhuvaya and Prasthanam got unanimous positive reviews for their content in 2010. But they have bitten mud commercially.
This shows that media cannot be blamed for the success or failure of any film. No film can be stopped from making fortunes if the public decide to patronage. And no media house can give Viagra to public to bring them to theatres when they decide to sit at home.
Media's influence on public with respect to cinema promotion can be calculated here.
Indeed, this applies mainly for big films and films with notable faces. The fate of small films depends on web reviews to a large extent. If the websites keep away from writing a review of any small movie with new faces, people never know that the film is released. And bad reviews for sure keep audience away from theatres for such films. And good reviews may bring audience to theaters to some extent. It is only the trend setting element or non stop entertainment that saves a small film. The best example can be 'Happy Days' that released a few years ago.
It is only the pre release hype that helps a film in bringing openings. And openings are the main source of income that is in the hands of makers. When they are failures in making good film but successful in bringing strong pre release hype, at least they can bring thumping openings. The end result will be decided by public. The best example for this can be 2011 release 'Bezawada'. The film got worst reviews unanimously but got 100% openings every where. But the truth had to be faced by makers from the next day.
After reading this, let us decide who should be blamed? The websites for giving negative reviews OR the makers for not making good product OR the public for not patronizing a good product!!
The answer is 'none'.
Let the directors make whatever they feel. Let the critics write whatever they feel. Let the people patronize whatever they like. Let the creativity be in progress!!!

Don't know if you can really see it, but here is something I got a kick out of. The other day me and the ol' lady were out back in our little home range. I left the target holder out and they were ruined in the last big storm, so we nailed the targets to a tree. After about 90 7.62x39 and 100 9mm rounds, the tree fell! Guess we need to get more target holders.... or a bigger tree
