The limousine driver who allegedly drove drunk when he took Oswego East High School students to their prom Saturday night said he is innocent, and credited his erratic driving to mechanical issues with the vehicle.
Police said Tuesday that Madison's blood alcohol level was nearly three-times the legal limit.
Prom is supposed to be one of the most memorable nights for any high-schooler. That was an understatement for the 23 students and their dates on Saturday night.
"It was a little sketchy from the beginning, but no one thought anything of it, until he pulled out of the subdivision," prom-goer Kelly Dano said.
Dano was asked to Oswego East's prom, but she wasn't expecting what would happen when their party bus took off.
"He hopped over a median and cut off 3 cars and then...he took us to the wrong hotel, he took us to the Hyatt hotel instead of Abbington Place so we had 5 more miles to go," Dano added.
Red flags went up for the students. Authorities said some called their parents. Two off duty Oswego police officers handled the situation at the Abbington Distinctive Banquets until deputies arrived.
The DuPage County Sheriff's deputies arrested the bus driver, 54-year-old Richard Madison for driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless conduct.
The Palos Hills resident was charged with drunken driving and reckless conduct.
Parents, like Lori Dano were a bit shaken as they aimed to keep their kids safe on prom night.
"That's why us parents provide limos so that they're safe and don't have to worry about them driving an hour away by themselves and then this happens," Dano added.
The limo company, Limos Alive did not return FOX 32's phone calls or emails seeking comment Sunday night.
Parents said they will warn others to do more investigating before they allow their kids to hop on a party bus.
Madison said he plans to plead innocent and fight the case.
"You know, if I was guilty, I would still be in jail," Madison told the Chicago Sun-Times on Sunday. "That's my thought. I would not be at home right now."
Authorities said Madison posted bail on Saturday night.

Like Walmart, only with supercomputers and drones: At Amazon.com "cheap" comes at a very hefty price
Mesmerized by Amazon's digital charm and explosive growth in sales, few have looked closely at the animal itself. It screams for scrutiny because it, more than any other single entity, has had the infinite hubris to envision a brave new, computer-driven oligarchic order for our society—then has proceeded to assemble it. Amazon smells today's mass employment desperation, preys on it, and thrives on it. That is the "magic" behind its super-cheap prices and super-efficient delivery system.[read more]

Five Ways to Green Your IT Solutions
Greening your company's IT solutions doesn't just help the planet. It also can yield significant financial savings. Many of today's green IT solutions can improve workflow, streamline application deployment and save your IT staff precious time. Following are five ways you can cut costs while reducing your organization's environmental footprint. The Microsoft technology experts listed under each tip can help.
1. Audit your IT systems—and eliminate waste.
Underutilized servers, overutilized HVAC systems and equipment powered on but not in use all contribute to your carbon footprint and operating costs. An audit of your current IT systems can uncover flaws in your energy management strategy and suggest best practices to reduce waste.
- InControl Technology, Inc. offers EnergyControl, an application that assesses the energy efficiency of every device on your TCP/IP network regardless of platform. Using this asset intelligence, InControl Technology can help you lower the energy consumption and costs of your data centers, IT devices and PCs.
- 1E helps customers lower their IT costs and environmental footprint through simplified IT solutions that reduce power consumption. 1E's server energy management solution, NightWatchman Server Edition, provides detailed efficiency and power reporting to facilitate decisions about decommissioning wasteful servers.
2. Move to cloud computing.
A recent Microsoft study found that companies can reduce their carbon emissions by 30 percent or more by moving to an on-demand cloud computing model. Cloud computing also increases worker flexibility by allowing users to access key applications and services remotely.
- Cloud Strategies LLC helps organizations create and implement a cloud computing blueprint based on Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite (BPOS) and Microsoft CRM Online.
- Agile IT enables businesses to take advantage of Microsoft Online Cloud Services, including cloud-based email, productivity, collaboration, CRM, development and hosting solutions. Professional services offered include planning for, deploying, customizing and providing training in cloud computing solutions.
3. Virtualize your servers.
With Microsoft virtualization, multiple operating systems can run on a single server, potentially decreasing energy use by up to 90 percent. In addition to reducing hardware, server virtualization can enable faster, more complete disaster recovery.
- Bell Techlogix, which delivers and supports the Microsoft Virtualization Suite, helps businesses build an effective server virtualization strategy. Professional services include initial technology assessments, planning, design and full technology deployment of virtualized environments.
- Apex Digital Solutions, Inc. designs and implements virtualized environments for businesses of all sizes based on the Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V R2 platforms. Besides reaping the ecological and financial rewards of server virtualization, working with this partner can help you capitalize on the quick recovery capabilities of hardware consolidation.
4. Make desktops more efficient.
Saving power at the desktop level is one of the simplest ways to reduce your company's carbon footprint. According to Microsoft Distinguished Engineer Dr. Dileep Bhandarkar, the average desktop PC wastes nearly half the power it draws from an electrical outlet, and a computer running 10 hours a day can account for one-tenth of a car's annual CO2 emissions.
- WM Software Corporation offers ShutdownPlus Green, which sends each desktop into a low-power state based on its non-working times. This application also calculates the amount of electricity consumed and carbon dioxide emitted by a particular PC and gives power management tips to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions by at least 50 percent.
- Adaptiva provides Adaptiva Companion, which extends Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 and System Management Server 2003 to help organizations lower the environmental impact and TCO of desktop computing—without compromising business productivity.
5. Automate key business processes—and save paper.
According to The Paperless Project, almost 80 percent of today's information remains paper-based. Maybe you've convinced your people to cut back on printing emails and reports. But you can further reduce waste by digitizing key business processes.
- Bremond-Gregoire Enterprises, Inc. offers Green Payable, an automated accounts payable system that integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP to remit electronic payments. This application features multiple authorization levels, remote payment approval, extensive payment tracking, encryption of key data and vendor payment notification.
- Visendo Fax@Mail 10, provided by ppedv AG, seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010, allowing users to receive fax transmissions right in their inbox. Besides saving paper, this application shortens fax transmission time and offers secure message archiving.

Ronald Dimambro Jr.'s family was in court Friday afternoon, when he was charged in the beating of 2-year-old Damian Sutton. Investigators say Dimambro's father was in a separate area of the house at the time of the alleged beating. He and Dimambro's mother declined any kind of comment. But Dimambro's aunt spoke out, saying, "We can't tell you anything - nothing's been said. It's accusations. All the accusations are coming from the baby's family. We can't tell you anything. Everything will come out in court."Damian's family members tell FOX 2 Dimambro repeatedly punched and kicked the 2-year-old, who remains on life support Friday at Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit. Macomb County Sheriff investigators say Dimambro eventually admitted to shaking the child. He was babysitting the boy at his parent's house, where Dimambro is said to be living. Now Dimambro is behind bars, charged with first degree child abuse, and this is not Dimambro's first offense. A fairly extensive background shows past offenses include minor in possession, operating while impaired, and identity theft. Damian's mother, Nikki Sutton, also does not believe this alleged abuse was an accident. "I know this is not just some freak abuse accident. It was attempted murder, I can feel it, and I feel like he should be charged with it."Throughout the whole process though, Sutton remains hopefully that her son will pull through. "I know in my heart that my son will be okay, because he's strong. I believe he's a miracle. Damian is a fighter. He's died once already and came back to life. I need strong prayers, not feeling sorry for Damian, but feeling strong for Damian."

There's a fair amount of skill involved in fishing, but anglers who want to take home a walleye from Mille Lacs Lake will need some luck too now that the Department of Natural Resources is slashing the possession limit and slot sizes allowed there.
Not only will fishermen and women be allowed fewer fish for frying, but they'll also be restricted to a very specific size because the number of walleye is at a 40-year low.
"Fishing will still be good on Mille Lacs, but it won't be as many eaters," said Dirk Peterson, the DNR's fisheries chief. "More catching of quality fish."
Earlier this year, the DNR warned anglers that the lake's quota would be cut in half -- but now it's clear they plan to enforce it to allow the population to replenish.
For anglers, the fishing opener is the most anticipated day of the year -- but come May 11, keeping a monster walleye from Mille Lacs won't be an option because the DNR is narrowing the harvest to fish between 18-20 inches while reducing the bag limit from four to two.
At All Season Sports in Delano, the feedback from fishermen ranges from anger and frustration to acceptance that something needs to be done.
"It's a long way to drive for two fish," said Shawn Lynch, of All Season Sports.
Yet, fishing guide Doug Warren says the sport is about more than just filling a freezer.
"I'm actually encouraged by the 18-20 inch slot," he told FOX 9 News.
The DNR and tribal leaders both agreed to cut the safe harvest limit in half because the fishery experts still aren't sure what's preventing the survival of smaller walleye.
"It's a traditional walleye factory for Minnesota and it's one of the best we have," Warren said. "It's a real important resource to protect and preserve."
DNR officials will continue to closely monitor the life cycle and feeding habits of all fish species found there with the hope of ensuring it can continue to be a healthy and sustainable fishery for many years to come.
"We're at a low point now," Peterson said. "We need a couple years -- maybe three -- to turn the corner to start seeing that improvement."
However, the retailers, resorts and anglers point out that fishing didn't become a nearly $5 billion industry in Minnesota as a catch-and-release sport.
"I mean, I think they all love to catch them -- but there isn't one guy who would go up there and say, 'I don't like to eat 'em. I just throw 'em back," Lynch said.
To promote fishing and restore balance in the lake, the DNR is loosening the restriction on small mouth bass by broadening the slot and increasing the limit to six for that species.

Dear Lauri,
I had a dream that I was lying in bed, it felt so real that I hadn't realized I fell asleep, but there was a figure on top of me. It looked more like a shadow than a face and it was choking me. I woke up once I stopped breathing. When I awoke however my hand was around my neck but it wasn't tightly gripped. Did I choke myself in my sleep? - Najah,19 Brooklyn, NY
Lauri: You have just had a fascinating physiological experience called Sleep Paralysis! Here's the deal, when we sleep and enter the REM state, which is when dreaming takes place, our brain releases a chemical that literally paralyzes our skeletal muscles so that we don't act out our dreams. When we've had a fitful night of sleep or haven't slept long enough, we will start to wake up before our brain can re-activate our muscle control, which causes us to get "stuck" in that in between state of sleep and wakefulness called Hypnogogia. In this state you are asleep and awake at the same time, which is why you are aware that you are in your bed.
Now, about that dark, frightening creature in the room. That is still a mystery to many researchers but I have a theory. We tend to have fitful nights of sleep because some negative force in our life is keeping us up. It can be anything from debt, to relationship troubles. And in Dream Psychology, negative elements in our life often show up in our dreams in the form of a dark shadow or villainous character. So when we are temporarily stuck in that Hypnogogic state, which is a hallucinatory state btw, the very thing that is causing disrupted sleep would still be present in our mind.
The cure is to try to get your negative issues off your mind before bedtime. Try writing out what is bothering you at bedtime. Get it out of your mind and onto paper. Oh, and as far as you trying to choke yourself, I don't believe you were. Your hand probably was simply resting there and you were conscious enough to be aware of it and your mind integrated the feeling of it into this experience.

It is good to be back in the kitchen!
When I know that I am going to have a busy week coming up I like to try to make one or two big meals on the weekend that are guaranteed to leave enough leftovers for a second quick meal during the week and casseroles are a great way to accomplish this. One of my favourite casseroles is a pizza casserole, I mean you really cannot go wrong with an ooey gooey melted cheesy casserole with all of the flavours of a pizza! This pizza casserole is a pasta based casserole withpizza sauce or marinara sauce, a cheese mixture of mozzarella, ricotta and parmesan along with your favourite pizza toppings. I often like a nice simple pepperoni, sausage and olive topping in my pizza casserole but you could use any pizza topping combination that you can think of and don't be afraid to change the pizza sauce up with a different kind of pizza sauce. No matter how you top it, this pizza casserole is going to be tasty!
This casserole is as easy to make as cooking the pasta and sausage, mixing everything up and baking it until it is bubbling and golden brown!
Just look at that melted cheesy pizza goodness!
Save some of the topping to top the casserole with to make it look like a pizza!
Get the latest Closet Cooking cookbook Melty Grilled Cheese which contains 25 of the tastiest grilled cheese sandwiches to come out of my closet sized kitchen! Never eat a boring grilled cheese again!
Pepperoni Pizza Casserole
A quick and easy pasta casserole with all of the flavours of a pepperoni pizza!
Servings: makes 4-6 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
- 12 ounces pasta

- 8 ounces ricotta
- 2 cups mozzarella, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano (optional)
- Cook the pasta as directed on package but stop 3 minutes early, drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, cook the sausage in a large saucepan over medium heat, about 10 minutes.
- Mix in the sauce with the sausage and 3/4's of the olives and pepperoni and set aside.
- Mix the ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan and set aside.
- Place half of the pasta in the bottom of a large baking dish, top with half of the sauce, followed by half of the cheese mixture and repeat with another layer of each, finally topping with the remaining olives, pepperoni and oregano.
- Bake in a preheated 350F oven covered in foil until bubbling at the sides, about 20-30 minutes, remove the foil and bake until the cheese has melted and started to turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Tip: Change things up by using your favourite pizza toppings.

Dragon Age Packs Twice the Dialog of Mass Effect 2Dragon Age: Origins takes a step back toward the traditional dialog system developer BioWare used for all their role playing games prior to Mass Effect. While selecting phrases verbatim might feel old school compared to the emotional responses in Mass Effect don't think for a moment that they didn't put as much into it.
Quite the opposite is true. Despite the cinematic nature of Mass Effect 2, in comparing the dialog systems of the two games BioWare co-founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk told me that Dragon Age: Origins packed over twice as many dialog options. Why so much? In Dragon Age a large proportion of the potential responses are based on the race and class you've chosen for your main character, their skills and demeanor, and the decisions made in developing the relationships. For every group of possible responses you see on any given play through of the game, there's probably an equal number hidden to handle all the other potential combinations as Zeschuk explained it.
For many fans that's sure to pique their interest to make another run through Dragon Age: Origins while waiting for Mass Effect to arrive next month.

You might not be familiar with the term 'Z-Movie,' but if you grew up in the 90's, chances are you've seen one. They're the beyond-low-budget monstrosities that teased you from the walls of the mom-and-pop video store. Usually, the films themselves could never live up to the pictures on the videotape boxes (because this was way before your fancy 'Digital Video Discs' and 'Blu-Rays') but occasionally you'd find something truly unique. 'WEIRDO FLICKS' will clue you into some movies which 'unique' doesn't even begin to describe...
'976-EVIL' - 1988, Directed by Robert Englund
Okay, so with a budget of about 3 million, it's not exactly a 'z-movie,' but it's almost Halloween and this is (to me) a classic of the horror genre. What's more, it's directed by Robert 'Freddy Kreuger' Englund, and if that's not a reason to see a film, then I don't know what is.
Surprisingly, this is one of only two films Englund has directed. There is a (bad) sequel, which he didn't have anything to do with, so don't blame him for that. To me, that says that he's a man who knows his strengths--he's an actor, and usually sticks to it.
The other surprising thing is that, to my knowledge, he doesn't appear in this film as an actor at all, which most actor-turned-directors would probably do (Mel Gibson, I'm looking at you.) But, forget all that, because the only important thing is that this movie rules.
Hoax is a high school geek whose tough motorcycle-riding cousin Spike starts calling an automated horror-themed horoscope service. It's actually NOT automated, and is evil, which we know because it kills some guy at the beginning of the movie. Basically, you're led to believe that if you go against your Horror-scope, the evil force will destroy you. And, while Spike is a bad dude, he's not evil, so he quickly angers the evil force.
There's a sub-plot involving Hoax's deranged, religious-fanatic mother and an inheritance that she is keeping from Spike, which culminates in a miraculous fish-rain, but this is only important as it brings investigative reporter Marty into the mix.
In fact, there are quite a few things that happen for seemingly no reason at all, but it doesn't make the film seem convoluted. If anything, it just makes it stranger. And that's where Englund's strength as a director lies. It's a fine line between 'mysteriously unexplained' and 'plot hole,' but he never crosses into the latter. The film maintains a nightmarish feel, and what's a nightmare without a few weird mysteries in there?
So, while Spike refuses to submit to the evil force, his cousin Hoax is more than happy to, assuming it results in a girlfriend and a few battles won against bullies. He gets more than he bargained for, of course, and this leads to a bloody and deranged climax.
The film as a whole, though, is really not too gruesome, considering Englund's background. Perhaps he wanted to move away from the senseless decapitations of the typical 'Freddy' film and into something more dreamlike and spiritual. As it stands, the violence is pretty much relegated to the last half hour, and the rest is filled with strange twists and a bit of black comedy as well, making it perfect for that one person in your group of friends who can't handle the 'hard stuff.'
Probably one of my all-time favorite horror films, and I seem to always bring it out and re-watch it this time of year. Best viewed on a 20-year-old smeary VHS tape, but this will do.

Dr Dimitra Fimi joined Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2009 as a Lecturer in English. Previously she has lectured at Cardiff University, and the Open University. She teaches a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules on fantasy, science fiction, children's literature and medievalism.
Dr Fimi is a specialist on Tolkien and fantasy literature. Her doctoral thesis explored the evolution of J.R.R. Tolkien's work and was later revised and published as a monograph, titled Tolkien, Race and Cultural History: From Fairies to Hobbits (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008). The book won the Mythopoeic Scholarship award in Inklings Studies and was also shortlisted for the Katharine Briggs Folklore Award. Her recent research and publications focus on the mythical and folkloric sources of children's fantasy, and notions of adaptation and retelling of traditional narratives. She welcomes research applications in all of the above areas.
Dr Fimi was recently awarded a Fellowship by Cardiff Metropolitan University as the 'Most Inspiring' lecturer, nominated in an anonymous poll by students. She has been interviewed about her research on US television and UK radio and she occasionally reviews the morning newspapers for BBC Radio Wales.

Hypothermia is an abnormally low body temperature. It is a dangerous condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Risk may also be increased by certain medicines and conditions that make it harder for your body to stay warm.
The situation becomes very dangerous when shivering stops and confusion and drowsiness increase. Hypothermia is deadly because it causes the heartbeat to slow down, become irregular, and eventually stop.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Normal body temperature is 98.6˚F (37˚C). Hypothermia is diagnosed when body temperature reaches 95˚F (35˚C) or lower. Only a special rectal thermometer that reads low temperatures can confirm that someone has this condition.
A person with severe hypothermia may be unconscious and appear to have no pulse. Medical attention is very important because, in some cases, people can be saved even though they appear dead.
Also, take special precautions with elderly people and babies. If rooms are not kept warm enough, the elderly and babies can be affected by hypothermia even if they remain indoors.

This funky looking phone is the first to use Sharp's Aquos display and comes to Sprint soon.
Pricing not available
Sporting a brilliant 2,560x1,600-pixel display, the 10.1-inch tablet makes its first appearance outside of Japan.
Pricing not available
While the Sharp LC-UQ17U offers decent picture quality its pseudo-4K features simply aren't worth paying extra for.
Hiding in the shadow of the flashy Quattron Plus tech, Sharp's top of the range TV offers a true 4K panel with four 60Hz-compatible HDMI inputs.
The stylish, Quattron-equipped Sharp LC-LE757U series doesn't offer a very good picture for the price.
The Sharp HT-SB60 is one of the best-performing sound bars we've tested, although its extra-long size and lack of Bluetooth will give some buyers pause.
The Sharp LE650 series sets the big-screen LCD TV value bar high with very good picture quality for the price.
For $289.99, we expect all presets to function well and as only half of them do, the Sharp isn't a good value.
Sharp's flagship LE857 will be the new series. It will come in three sizes topping out at 80 inches.
Since they don't come with improved picture quality, the extra features of the Sharp LC-LE847U series aren't worth the extra money it demands.

Is there anything that a human being can never possibly do?
We humans are so overwhelmed with the millions of actions that we perform everyday. We call ourselves multitaskers and have todo lists and sometimes are concerned about over todo lists being overloaded.
But there should be zillions of things that human beings can never be able to do or are incapable of doing.
We might not have thought much about them. So thinking in this new perspective might create some new connections in your brain.
All the best.
Elizabeth Gu 30+Feb 2 2013: Rather than answering this question, I want to say the reason why human beings can do something is that something—our brain, history, nature and God—always enables us to manage to do that.
We do see a lot of miraculous happenings around the world, but we also acknowledge that quite often those are beyond our understanding.
If the things—could be anything—which have been enabling us to do something no longer work in us, that would be the key point of answering this question.
By "a human being", I think you mean more than just a person.
It's not merely about what a person is really capable of right now.
We, humans are not just on our own, ironically.
(fyi, I don't want you to take this the wrong way. I'm not talking about some religious opinion. I hope you understand what I mean)
Lawren Jones 30+Jan 14 2013: I'm disappointed with the comments below that limit their answers to the physical limitation of out bodies, as out species has spent the last 150,000 years extending those with science. We can't walk on water, but we've invented boats, etc.
What humankind can do is limited only by the physical laws of the universe, and our own imaginations.
Maaher Sayeed 10+
adesh saxena 30+Feb 10 2013: Humans try to do things to attain maximum in their field of interest. Climber wants to climb highest peaks, space sceintists wants to see the whole space etc. Similarly every wise person in the world try to be as wise as possible.
Though we are taught that plants are lower form of life as compared to human species, ironically all the wise people in the world try or teach us, to be like a tree.
Gives only ,never takes.
Survives on minimum ,Water and minerals
Makes its own food, no dependance
Sambhav (equinamous)- free of twin opposites

Jan 30 2013: Well, at first, everything was impossible. If you ask a man from the 9th century: "Do you know that in the future people will write letters by a machine, called computer?", he'll laugh and say you're weird or crazy. So, impossible things won't be impossible one day.
I think so, too. And I hope that in my lifetime I'll be able to visit the Moon and Mars as a traveller. :)

Jan 14 2013: With respect to the scale of the universe, it seems likely that there are plenty of things that might fall outside the scope of human comprehension and ability.
Although I cannot speak for human descendents who evolve from us, I am inclined wonder if there may be some physical laws or inherent properties of the universe that our very nature prevents us from being able to fully understand, even if we were aware of them. Trying to comprehend such topics would be analogous to trying to impart the laws of classical physics to an ape. Understanding and applying basic physics is quite possible (if not intuitive) for humans, but the ape's brain will only allow it to experience the depth of physics to a certain degree. The ape has some physical intuition that it is able to apply while interacting with its environment (for example, an ape would be aware that things fall towards the Earth), but the physical structure and programming of the ape's brain would make it extremely difficult/impossible to communicate to the details or mechanics of physics to it, even if it occurred to the ape to be curious about such things to begin with.
I realize this answer is very unspecific, but given all the science that we have barely scratched the surface of, I believe it's a good starting place when it comes to identifying our own limitations. Thank you for asking this excellent, thought-provoking question.
Jan 13 2013: "But there should be zillions of things that human beings can never be able to do or are incapable of doing."
I don't agree.
I believe that anything is possible if enough time and energy is applied to it.
It may not be exactly as expected, but it can still happen.
We can fly, we can find out more or less anything in a minute, we can leave the planet, we can breath underwater, we can see into the past, we can talk to people almost anywhere in the world.
Sure, its not in the way that would define us as superheros or gods, but its a pretty good (but a frustratingly slow) start.

Feb 3 2013: I doubt if we will ever be able to create nature as we see it in this world. No human has created a mountain, an ocean or the blossoming tree outside my window. We live on a planet of questions. In time we may be able to provide answers to many of them, but I think our nature is limited in that we will will never have all the answers we seek. l
Aaron HayJan 30 2013: We cannot count to infinity. This is a limitation we created with the nature of numbers. A thought is that many of the limitations we see today we created. Usually inventions make something possible and open doors to new possibilities. We see this with the seemingly limitless possibilities of what you can accomplish with numbers: calculations, statistics, organization, etcetera. But one limitation we do see in he inability to count to the highest number..
Jan 23 2013: using the word never means we are making predictions about the future ...so, humans of the 22nd century and beyond, having benefited from accelerated evolution due to genetic remodeling, may very well do things and think in ways that humans in their current form clearly can't. It seems obvious to me that accelerated understanding of nature feeding into accelerated technologies, and visa versa, in an upward spiral, will change our current human abilities and form in profound ways. If not this century, soon. Hopefully, this will lead to a better, more humane civilization and not advantage the dark side of the human animal.

Jan 20 2013: One thing I like to say is that you can not die in order to save yourself. I like to pair that with MLK Jr's accredited quote that if you have not found anything worth dying for, then you have not found anything worth living for. Therefore, if you can not die in order to save yourself then living solely for yourself is not a life worth living.
Mark Kurtz 20+Jan 18 2013: The "spark" of life. We human beings will never have the ability to create or to apply new life to mass. We will discover a great deal about life, its energy, its application, but to create it---never.
We humans are limited, as many comments here affirm.
The next question could be: Who does have the capability to do what humans will never do?
Jan 18 2013: We can never fully comprehend human consciousness, using only science.
Consciousness is far bigger than anything that can be grasped objectively. Consciousness is something we experience, but is impossible to define. We can 'distil' that experience by embracing the metaphysical, the poetic, the artistic - but the full gamut of consciousness still remains out of reach of the scientific method.
Barry Palmer 100+Jan 14 2013: Perhaps we are incapable of defining the limits of human imagination.
IMO, the comment by Jacqueline d'Etienne is superb. There may be many things we cannot achieve because we cannot imagine them.
This question has important implications.
Should we trust that human imagination and innovation will result in a world of abundance?
Should we admit that human innovation is limited and that we must live within limitations?
Thinking of ourselves in a positive light generally results in more positive outcomes. But thinking of ourselves as having no limitations might lead to catastrophe. "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs, 16:18)

An administration official says President Barack Obama will travel to Detroit Monday to push his proposal for raising tax rates on wealthier Americans. The trip is part of Obama's effort to get public backing for his positions and use that support to pressure Republicans to reach a deal on the "fiscal cliff." The president says there can't be a deal until GOP lawmakers drop their opposition to increasing rates on the top 2 percent of income earners. Obama launched his public appeal during a trip to Pennsylvania last week. The official requested anonymity in order to discuss the trip before it is publicly announced.
Facing it's own fiscal crisis, on Tuesday Detroit councilwoman JoAnn Watson said President Obama should step in and help the city.
Listen to her comments here: Detroit councilwoman to Obama: We voted for you, now bail us out.

Legendary Lebansese Winery Determined to Survive War — Again
BEIRUT, LEBANON, August 3rd — Serge Hochar, the proprietor of Lebanon's Chateau Musar winery, released the following statement today regarding the immediate and long-term future of Chateau Musar in light of the continuing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"This is the path our history has taken for 7,000 years. However, prophecies also say that Lebanon will overcome all adverse situations. What is happening now is very sad, but we have no choice other than to face adversity.
This is what we have always done at Chateau Musar, ever since we embarked upon making this wine known world-wide for its truth, identity and for its reflection of our culture. Our history, our philosophy and our winemaking experience can only grow and develop from what is happening around us. This is the reason we established a Chateau Musar office in the U.K. in 1979 to take care of our world market, which has proven especially important in situations like this. This plan has proved its efficiency during all the years of war that we have faced since then, and it is still true today. We are in a position to supply the world through our U.K. company, and this is the message we want to relay to the market and to all the friends and consumers of Chateau Musar.
Regarding the future, it is very difficult to have a clear vision of the way things will develop and the time it will take. We are taking all the necessary steps for this year's harvest, however, which is due to start at the end of August. We hope to have a normal harvest regarding maturity times, although picking might be a little bit delayed because of weather conditions. So far the vineyards are doing well and we expect a very good crop for the 2006 vintage."
Created in 1930 in the cellar of an old XVIIIth century castle, Château Musar is as much the work of a family as the living testimony of all the civilizations that tread its soil. After a long stay in France, Gaston Hochar returned to Lebanon and created Château Musar in the cellars of the old 'Mzar' castle in Ghazir, overlooking the Mediterranean sea. What began as a hobby soon became a passion; a passion inspired by an initial encounter with renowned viticulturist Ronald Barton while stationed in Lebanon during the Second World War.
The family's love for wine grew and in 1959, after completing his oenology diploma in Bordeaux, the eldest son, Serge, entered the business. Some call him the magician, the man behind this extraordinary wine. His response? That all he seeks is to translate what nature intended. Serge's younger brother Ronald, named after the late Barton, took over Château Musar's marketing and finance departments in 1962.
Château Musar first achieved international recognition during the Bristol Wine Fair in England in 1979, where the wine press and prominent critics including Michael Broadbent declared it "the discovery of the fair". In 1984, the respected wine magazine Decanter named Serge Hochar the first ever "Wine Man of the Year" for his extraordinary achievements, determination and dedication to producing wines during the difficult years of the Lebanese Civil War.
In recent years, Musar has been part of events such as the "Dîner des 30" organized by Champagne Louis Roederer in honour of the 30 best wines of the world. Musar annually attends the London Wine Fair and Vinexpo every two years. Present at frequent auctions of private collections, its name has been linked to Sotheby's in 1979 and Christies in 2000 and 2004. The way paved by the wine from the land of "milk and honey" consequently allowed Lebanon to adhere to the OIV - the "Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin"- in 1995 with the collaboration of other Lebanese wine producers.
Disclaimer: I am the US importer of this wine but felt the topic was of sufficient general interest to post.

Lafayette Towers has been around since the early sixties, but now its new owner has plans to recapture it's former glory.
"To see the city coming back and exciting things happening within its city center, it's just phenomenal. It's what I've been waiting on for the last 20, 25 years," said Gregory Jackson.
He is the new owner of Detroit's Lafayette Towers, a nearly 600 unit apartment complex built in the sixties and designed by renowned architect Mies Van Der Rohe. It's just steps from downtown Detroit, a full service grocery store and offers killer views of the city.
Jackson walked me through his plans for what he calls one of Detroit's jewels.
"We've got to put the dress back on Cinderella," he said.
The Prestige Automotive CEO bought the recently foreclosed property last December for nearly $6 million. He's investing another $15 million in what he calls a makeover, revamping everything from the HVAC systems to the units themselves. He's even designing a new fitness center and Internet cafe all to create a community everyone from young professionals to retirees will want to call home.
"My vision is having people sitting around in the lobby with their iPads and whatnot. They're having a coffee," said Jackson. "I see a new Detroit when I see the Lafayette Towers today."
"Detroit is where I grew up. Detroit is home," he added. "To be a part of it and invest in it is just a natural for me. It's what I and all true Detroiters should do if they have an opportunity."
Jackson told me that the renovations should take about 18 months to complete. For more information, you can visit www.lafayette-towers.com.

Hi everyone,
I'm brand new here, having just registered, but I've been getting lots of help and advice from the website for the past 2 months. I live in Madison and look forward to corresponding with fellow WI members.
Avery Ann was born 11/11/05 at 31 weeks, but had IUGR and stopped growing at 28 weeks due to Severe PE.
My BP had been steadily rising over the 4 weeks before Avery's birth, but was still within normal ranges. I did a 24 hour urine test the first weekend in November and the protein was 3x higher than it should have been. I was told to take it easy for the weekend and come in on Thursday the 9th for an ultrasound and additional bloodwork. On 11/8/05 I awoke with swollen eye lids, lips and hands. My hands were so swollen I couldn't hold a pen. I went to work and started having pain in my liver (turned out to be heartburn), but I called the midwives who instructed me to meet the midwife on call at the hospital. My BP was 180/120 and I was in a hospital bed within 40 minutes. I was so swollen that it took 6 tries to put in an IV. The nurse and head nurse couldn't find a vein, nor could the pic nurse, so they finally called the anestiesiologist who numbed me and dug in and found a vein. I was immediately put on mag sulfate and told that I wouldn't be leaving the hospital until I had the baby. I was given two shots of steriods and induced on 11/11. I had 5 hours of labor that I could feel, only the last 2 hours being painful. The nurses couldn't see the contractions on the monitor around 8pm and told me it was just cramping and that in 12 hours I would be given pitocin and an epidural. Fifteen minutes later my husband asked for the resident so that I could get some pain relief and she checked me and I was already at 6cm...no wonder I was in pain! Literally 5 minutes after that check Avery was born. The resident was putting a monitor on the babys scalp and I told her I needed to push. She looked at me like I was crazy and checked me again. Almost instantly about 8 people rushed into the room and they managed to catch her and have the neonatal team present. I was on mag for 4 days. It was all so surreal. I was finally able to see and hold Avery after 18 hours of mag.
Avery was 2 lbs., 12 ounces and then dropped to 2lbs, 6oz. She was 15.5 inches long. For all of that she was very healthy. She didn't need to be vented, but was on Cpap for a week (until she pulled it out) and then on nose cannula for another week. After 27 days in the NICU they sent her home with us at 3lbs, 9oz. At her last appointment she was 4lbs, 1oz, and we go again on Friday for her 8 week check-up!
My BP slowly crept back down over two weeks time. I go for my check-up on friday as well, so we will hope it is completely back to normal.
Well that is my story. I'm really happy to have others to talk to.
Kara (28yrs)
Derek (hubby,31yrs)
Avery Ann (11/11/05 8 weeks and counting.

The depth of the Brilliance collection's beauty is captured in this blue gemstone and sterling silver enhancer. With a deep ambience, this elegant piece is at once both substantial and light. An eye-catching briolette of faceted blue chalcedony hangs suspended from an intricate frame of scroll- and rope-designed sterling silver. Accenting its four corners are round stones of denim-blue kyanite. With a large snap hinge bail for easy attachment, you can match it with your favorite pearls, silver, gemstones and more - the possibilities are endless with this graceful gemstone keepsake. This Brilliance enhancer measures 2-5/8" long x 1-3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Beauty is a quality that moves--it pulses, emanates, shines, and swirls. With the Brilliance Collection, flowing designs of sterling silver whirl with old world vintage romance around luminescent gems of royal blue chalcedony and kyanite.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

We're told a trip for some fast food turned into a terrifying attack on a local mom as her children watched."It was a late night, and I decided to pick up some food for the family," Kesha said.The meal of choice was McDonald's at the Springwells and Lafayette location on the city's southwest side.Kesha was behind-the-wheel when she spotted a "Taurus driving down the street all crazy."The car was swerving and speeding according to Kesha."I slowed a little bit to see if she was going to stop, but I had the right-of-way, so I went ahead," Kesha said.She turned left into the McDonald's parking lot."The people followed me into McDonald's. They blocked me off. She got out of the car. She came to my car. She leaned in the car. She argued with me. I tried to reason with her," Kesha said.Was road rage to blame? Kesha said she had the right-of-way. Perhaps they thought she cut them off."I kept saying, 'Wait, wait, wait, calm down. Please just calm down. Wait a minute. Hold on,'" Kesha explained. "I was like, 'I didn't do anything wrong. Just wait a minute.' And she just kept on saying, 'You shut the [expletive] up.'"We're told the woman spit on her twice and threw a liquor bottle through the car window. "My kids were in the car. They had kids in the car. I go to try to leave and drive around their car. The next thing you know there's a bottle flying in the window, glass all in my mouth," Kesha said.She jumped out, but four young women from the other car got out, too. "It was crazy. They literally [were] thumping me. The girl that came to my car, she sat on top of me," Kesha said.Cut, bruised and now left with two bloody eyes, she said she was not trying to fight, but rather trying to reason with them."For them to be as upset as they were over something so simple, they had to be either intoxicated or on drugs or something," Kesha said."By her being epileptic, God was on her side because she ended up having bruises, but this could have killed her," said her finance."Of course, we do want justice for both her and for our children," he added. "For our children to witness something like this, it's an atrocity."Kesha said the suspects are four Hispanic women possibly in their twenties. She spent the night in the hospital where she made a report with Detroit police.Kesha wants to press charges, so speak up if you have any information. She said if these women are not caught now, the next time someone could be killed.

On March 17, 2013 a plane crashed into a South Bend neighborhood, killing two people on board.
"I ran to the front and it was just a big cloud of insulation and plane parts and everything flying," said Mary Jane Klaybor on March 17th.
Luckily, no one on the ground was killed, but two homes in the 1600 block of Iowa Street had to be demolished. "They're probably gonna, they're gonna tear it down," said homeowner Patricia Kobalski back in March.
Six months later, a lot, with only a couple of sheds and a vehicle sit there.
Frank Sojka has lived in this home on Iowa Street for 55 years.
He says March 17th was just like any other quiet Sunday, and then the plane crash happened.
"I came out and looked and the south end of the house, I could see the sun, you know, through the roof," says Sojka.
Sojka says things are pretty much back to normal for him.
It took about three months but the south end of his home has been repaired.
He needed a new living room and kitchen, plus a new roof, garage and siding.
He hopes he can soon say the same for the empty lot next door.
"Oh, I'd like to see them rebuild," says Sojka.
That's a big question hanging out there. We contacted the two women who lived in the homes that were demolished to get an update on how they're doing and see if they're planning to rebuild. We haven't heard back yet.
Other neighbors say they hope the lots don't just sit empty. They hope maybe something like a park or memorial can be built there.
Another homeowner told us that things are about as normal as they're going to be. He says he's still bothered every time a plane lands or takes off.
The NTSB hasn't released the full report on the crash yet. It could take another six months.
