Administrators of electronics chain Powerhouse have blamed rising competition from e-tailers after the firm closed its UK stores yesterday.
"Internet retailers and increased competition on the high street, coupled with the ongoing deterioration in the UK electrical retail market, has led to Powerhouse being unable to sustain its position in the retail marketplace," BDO Stoy Hayward said in a statement.
Powerhouse's owner, New Zealand-based Pacific Retail Group placed the group in administration after a board meeting on Tuesday.
The firm's 50 stores in England have been shut, following the closure of 27 outlets in Scotland in February.
The move continues a bad year for high-street retailers. According to The Guardian, 55% more firms were placed in administration in the first quarter of 2006 compared with 12 months earlier, including Sock Shop and Kookaï.
The Dixons brand also recently moved online while renaming its high street shops Currys.digital in a bid to stem falling sales, though we think that's a smart move from parent company DSG.
Curry's is better known for selling (larger) white goods, such as cookers and washing machines, while Dixons focuses on (smaller) consumer electronics devices, such as digital cameras and MP3 players, which are better suited for e-commerce and in demand among internet users.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - LegalTech New York -- Zapproved Inc. announced today the introduction of two technology offerings that make Legal Hold Pro more accessible so in-house legal teams can take control of their data preservation process. HoldLink connectors support information transfer between most enterprise applications systems, leading e-discovery collection and review tools; while MigrationPack imports legacy hold data into Legal Hold Pro so customers can upgrade seamlessly without losing key information.
HoldLink for Legal Hold Pro provides a secure, universal gateway for exchanging critical data with enterprise application systems and electronic discovery tools. The bi-directional API passes information so that Legal Hold Pro can receive updated contact information and also forward custodian data and collection requests to popular collection and processing software tools.
On the input side, HoldLink synchronizes with global address lists such as Active Directory and other mainstream HR and email systems to maintain current contact information, including alerting hold administrators when custodians depart an organization. For connecting with related enterprise applications, HoldLink can share custodian lists, current compliance status and collection requests with software systems further downstream in the e-discovery workflow. Legal Hold Pro is already integrated with Recommind, Nuix, Proofpoint and other systems.
The second offering is MigrationPack, a data migration tool that imports litigation hold history from legacy systems so users can transition easily from an existing hold management tool to Legal Hold Pro. The MigrationPack tool takes legacy data and organizes it into a data structure that aligns with Legal Hold Pro system history. Once completed, hold administrators can manage and monitor ongoing litigation holds including sending hold reminders, adding and removing custodians and, when appropriate, releasing the litigation hold.
"As Legal Hold Pro's customer base has grown dramatically, we received frequent requests for our system to integrate with other software. HoldLink is the result of our development investments that yielded a reliable and secure gateway through which we can share data seamlessly," said Brad Harris, Vice President for Legal Products at Zapproved.
"Similarly, our engineering team wanted a smoother, more reliable way to bring data into Legal Hold Pro after numerous customer requests. We're excited to have these tools available in response to a dramatic increase in customers wanting to leave their previous systems in order to take advantage Legal Hold Pro's comprehensive workflow design and usability," added Harris.
Legal Hold Pro is the fastest growing litigation hold management system in the industry. Organizations are selecting it to replace time-consuming manual legal holds or less sophisticated software tools. During 2012, Legal Hold Pro's customer base more than doubled with an influx of new customers wanting to replace other litigation hold software tools that were no longer meeting their needs.
Legal Hold Pro HoldLink and MigrationPack are available for customers and more details can be provided upon request. Call 1-888-366-0666 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, and you can visit Legal Hold Pro at LegalTech at Booth 537.

Everything Is Awesome (and All Is Forgiven)
No seriously. Life is good.
How freaking great was today's episode? What a payoff!
I'm not going to launch into some mea culpa here, because any anger I'd expressed regarding Duke's characterization since his return has been based on the assumption that this was Duke and, dammit, I expressed several times that I would accept any explanation that would fix it. So here I am, accepting the explanation! It's fixed!
Sure, by Friday when the Duke mask came off (yeah, that's now a real sentence!!), we knew it wasn't really Duke. And I doubt too many people were shocked today by the reveal that it's really Faison -- I'm sure that's who about 99.9% of us (at least those who are long-time viewers) were certain it would be. But you know what? Sometimes exactly the thing you expect is exactly the thing you need. Would I have loved a total shock the way I got one on Ian Buchanan's first day back? Sure, but honestly, I do not care. Because this was way too awesome to play the whole, "Whatever, I saw it coming" card. Because I did see it coming, and IT WAS STILL AMAZING.
On so many levels, y'all! SO MANY LEVELS. First, it means we also got Anders Hove back. It means we got scenes between Anders Hove and Kimberly McCullough. It means we got scenes between Faison and Robin in which a chunk of skin from the Duke Lavery mask was hanging off of Faison's neck.
If that's not fun soap, I don't know what is. And then he ripped it off, all evil-like!
Oh, Mr. Hove, how I've missed you and your menace and the spectacular way you pronounce "fruition!"
And as if that weren't batshit fabulous enough, we then got multiple scenes in which Robin and Faison sparred while the Duke Lavery mask was just hanging out on the bedside table in the background!
God I love this.
Oh, but we haven't even gotten to the best part. Because when I did all the hypothesizing and heard all the theories about how maybe it wasn't really Duke but it was Faison or Grant Putnam or some other menacing evil from the past, it still didn't quite fix it for me because it meant... no Duke. And while I would not say that an evil Duke is better than no Duke, I was worried that Ian Buchanan's stint was a super-short one and that if it wasn't really Duke, there was only disappointment ahead.
But I should have had faith. Because they are just pulling out all of the stops over there at GH HQ these days.
Duke lives! He lives, he lives, he lives!!!!! And not only that, but he was smart enough to try to protect Robin and Anna by feeding Faison false information about his past so that they would catch on and realize something was wrong (and how great was it that Robin got to realize)!
I am just beside myself with glee right now, y'all. Sure, it sucks that this reveal means Annoying Smug Luke was right, but whatever. It doesn't matter because DUKE LIVES!
So it's probably some sort of regionalism, but Laura Wright is the first person I've ever heard consistently say "sure as the hell" instead of "sure as hell," so imagine my surprise when at the beginning of today's episode Carly talked about how the police "sure as hell" needed to know that AJ is alive. Luckily the planets re-aligned a couple of scenes later when Carly explain that AJ "sure as the hell" wanted Jason dead. What is wrong with me that I get so preoccupied with idiom use? General Hospital being so damn exciting lately must have gone to my head. I mean y'all, Monica slapped Carly today! It's like the good old days before Monica lost her backbone when it came to anything Jason-related!
I don't want to launch too far into it since all I want to do is bask in all the Duke and the Faison of it all, but I will briefly say: how freaking satisfying was it that Michael is finally learning the truth about his "parents" and actually thinking AJ deserved a chance to be his father? And he's kind of turning on Carly! SCHADENFREUDE PARTY TIME. Also, is it just me, or is there a compelling little spark between Sean Kanan and Laura Wright? I don't think it's just me. Is it just me? I'm likin' it. The spark may only ever serve to ignite ugly fire rather than sexy fire, but any spark is a good one!
The scenes between Anna and Sam didn't do much to advance story, but was anyone else just mesmerized by all the ridiculous brown-haired, brown-eyed gorgeousness in those scenes?
So much of the pretty!
Speaking of pretty girls with brown hair, can they dial it back a few notches with Bitchy Britt? We get it. But she actually is a pediatrician. She's actually got some common sense and graces that have gotten her this far in life, so can we color her in a bit now? We get the point! (Also because, for crap's sake, give Liz a friend who doesn't suck!)
But really, no matter. I'm not mad. I can only feel joy and gratitude today. BECAUSE FAISON. BECAUSE DUKE.

Jamie Redman '08 Wins Two Gold Medals; Ashley Brzozowicz '04 Earns Silver, Bronze For Canada
LUCERNE, Switzerland – A thrilling women's eight final at the 2010 Rowing World Cup had a distinct Yale flavor. Jamie Redman '08 sat in the United States boat that finished two-tenths of a second ahead of the Canadian eight that featured Ashley Brzozowicz '04. The gold medal in the eight capped a big weekend for Redman, who also was part of the winning women's four. Brzozowicz captured a bronze medal in the women's pair in addition to her silver with the eight.
The U.S. came from behind in the final 100 meters of the women's eight race to win. The Canadian crew, coming off a win at the Henley Royal Regatta, got out to an early lead and maintained half of a boat length on the U.S. and Great Britain through the body of the race. Great Britain fell back in the last 500 meters, while the U.S. and Canada went stroke-for-stroke to the finish line. The U.S. finished in 6:12.19 to Canada's 6:12.39.
Redman's gold medal in the four came much easier. The U.S. grabbed an early lead in the final, had open water on the rest of the field by the halfway point and cruised to a 6.2-second victory.
Redman has become a mainstay in the U.S. Rowing program. She was part of the women's four without coxswain at the 2009 World Rowing Championships and won a gold medal with the women's eight at the 2008 World Rowing Under-23 Championships. At Yale, she helped Yale's varsity eight to a pair of NCAA Championships and was a 2007 CRCA All-America selection.
Brozowicz has enjoyed a lengthy career with the Canadian program. She competed in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing with the women's eight. At Yale, she sat in the No. 6 seat in the varsity eight that finished second at the 2004 NCAA Championships.

The Philippine native, world-traveler and Sunnyside resident was named Queens' fifth poet laureate in a June 17th Borough Hall ceremony organized by Queens College and the borough president's office.
The three-year, non-salaried appointment places Javier at the forefront of poetry in Queens, where he'll take over poet laureate duties from his predecessor, Julio Manzan, who held the post from 2007-2010.
"I hope to continue the rich and sophisticated history of innovative writers and artists emerging from and working in Queens," said Javier, a self-described "once-global nomad" who found a permanent home in multicultural Queens, after living in Asia and the Middle East, because he had "no trouble finding the world in it."
Besides pushing his own career, Javier has big plans for poetry education across the borough.
He is planning to launch a poetry literacy program for public schools, a reading series and a large poetry festival in collaboration with the Queens Public Library.
Borough President Helen Marshall called Javier an "up-and-coming poet," with a "clearly articulated vision of how to promote a love of poetry among our diverse youth."
"We are very excited to collaborate with him over the next three years," she added.
Javier, who also dabbles in theater writing and filmmaking, is the author of several books of poetry, including the time at the end of this writing, which won a Small Press Traffic Book of the Year Award in 2005. His forthcoming book of poetry is titled The Feeling is Actual.

Linear particle accelerator
A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that greatly increases the kinetic energy of charged subatomic particles or ions by subjecting the charged particles to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline; this method of particle acceleration was invented by Leó Szilárd. It was patented in 1928 by Rolf Widerøe,[1] who also built the first operational device and was influenced by a publication of Gustav Ising.[2]
Linacs have many applications: they generate X-rays and high energy electrons for medicinal purposes in radiation therapy, serve as particle injectors for higher-energy accelerators, and are used directly to achieve the highest kinetic energy for light particles (electrons and positrons) for particle physics.
The design of a linac depends on the type of particle that is being accelerated: electrons, protons or ions. Linacs range in size from a cathode ray tube (which is a type of linac) to the 3.2-kilometre-long (2.0 mi) linac at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California.

Construction and operation
A linear particle accelerator consists of the following elements:
- The particle source. The design of the source depends on the particle that is being moved. Electrons are generated by a cold cathode, a hot cathode, a photocathode, or radio frequency (RF) ion sources. Protons are generated in an ion source, which can have many different designs. If heavier particles are to be accelerated, (e.g., uranium ions), a specialized ion source is needed.
- A high voltage source for the initial injection of particles.
- A hollow pipe vacuum chamber. The length will vary with the application. If the device is used for the production of X-rays for inspection or therapy the pipe may be only 0.5 to 1.5 meters long. If the device is to be an injector for a synchrotron it may be about ten meters long. If the device is used as the primary accelerator for nuclear particle investigations, it may be several thousand meters long.
- Within the chamber, electrically isolated cylindrical electrodes are placed, whose length varies with the distance along the pipe. The length of each electrode is determined by the frequency and power of the driving power source and the nature of the particle to be accelerated, with shorter segments near the source and longer segments near the target. The mass of the particle has a large effect on the length of the cylindrical electrodes; for example an electron is considerably lighter than a proton and so will generally require a much smaller section of cylindrical electrodes as it accelerates very quickly. Likewise, because its mass is so small, electrons have much less kinetic energy than protons at the same speed. Because of the possibility of electron emissions from highly charged surfaces, the voltages used in the accelerator have an upper limit, so this can't be as simple as just increasing voltage to match increased mass.
- One or more sources of radio frequency energy, used to energize the cylindrical electrodes. A very high power accelerator will use one source for each electrode. The sources must operate at precise power, frequency and phase appropriate to the particle type to be accelerated to obtain maximum device power.
- An appropriate target. If electrons are accelerated to produce X-rays then a water cooled tungsten target is used. Various target materials are used when protons or other nuclei are accelerated, depending upon the specific investigation. For particle-to-particle collision investigations the beam may be directed to a pair of storage rings, with the particles kept within the ring by magnetic fields. The beams may then be extracted from the storage rings to create head on particle collisions.
As the particle bunch passes through the tube it is unaffected (the tube acts as a Faraday cage), while the frequency of the driving signal and the spacing of the gaps between electrodes are designed so that the maximum voltage differential appears as the particle crosses the gap. This accelerates the particle, imparting energy to it in the form of increased velocity. At speeds near the speed of light, the incremental velocity increase will be small, with the energy appearing as an increase in the mass of the particles. In portions of the accelerator where this occurs, the tubular electrode lengths will be almost constant.
- Additional magnetic or electrostatic lens elements may be included to ensure that the beam remains in the center of the pipe and its electrodes.
- Very long accelerators may maintain a precise alignment of their components through the use of servo systems guided by a laser beam.
Linacs of appropriate design are capable of accelerating heavy ions to energies exceeding those available in ring-type accelerators, which are limited by the strength of the magnetic fields required to maintain the ions on a curved path. High power linacs are also being developed for production of electrons at relativistic speeds, required since fast electrons traveling in an arc will lose energy through synchrotron radiation; this limits the maximum power that can be imparted to electrons in a synchrotron of given size. Linacs are also capable of prodigious output, producing a nearly continuous stream of particles, whereas a synchrotron will only periodically raise the particles to sufficient energy to merit a "shot" at the target. (The burst can be held or stored in the ring at energy to give the experimental electronics time to work, but the average output current is still limited.) The high density of the output makes the linac particularly attractive for use in loading storage ring facilities with particles in preparation for particle to particle collisions. The high mass output also makes the device practical for the production of antimatter particles, which are generally difficult to obtain, being only a small fraction of a target's collision products. These may then be stored and further used to study matter-antimatter annihilation.
Medical linacs
Linac-based radiation therapy for cancer therapy began with treatment of the first patient in 1953 in London at Hammersmith Hospital, with an 8 MV machine built by Metropolitan-Vickers, as the first dedicated medical linac.[3] A short while later in 1955, 6 MV linac therapy from a different machine was being used in the United States.
Medical grade linacs accelerate electrons using a tuned-cavity waveguide, in which the RF power creates a standing wave. Some linacs have short, vertically mounted waveguides, while higher energy machines tend to have a horizontal, longer waveguide and a bending magnet to turn the beam vertically towards the patient. Medical linacs use monoenergetic electron beams between 4 and 25 MeV, giving an X-ray output with a spectrum of energies up to and including the electron energy when the electrons are directed at a high-density (such as tungsten) target. The electrons or X-rays can be used to treat both benign and malignant disease. The LINAC produces a reliable, flexible and accurate radiation beam. The versatility of LINAC is a potential advantage over cobalt therapy as a treatment tool. In addition, the device can simply be powered off when not in use; there is no source requiring heavy shielding – although the treatment room itself requires considerable shielding of the walls, doors, ceiling etc. to prevent escape of scattered radiation. Prolonged use of high powered (>18 MeV) machines can induce a significant amount of radiation within the metal parts of the head of the machine after power to the machine has been removed (i.e. they become an active source and the necessary precautions must be observed).
Application for Medical Isotope Development
The expected shortages with regard to Mo-99, and the technetium-99m medical isotope obtained from it, has also shed light onto linear accelerator technology to produce Mo-99 from non-enriched Uranium-235 through neutron bombardment. This would enable the medical isotope industry to manufacture this crucial isotope by a sub-critical process. The aging facilities, for example the Chalk River Laboratories in Ontario Canada, which still now produce most Mo-99 from highly enriched Uranium-235 could be replaced by this new process. In this way, the sub-critical loading of soluble uranium salts in heavy water with subsequent photo neutron bombardment and extraction of the target product, Mo-99, will be achieved.[4]
- The device length limits the locations where one may be placed.
- A great number of driver devices and their associated power supplies are required, increasing the construction and maintenance expense of this portion.
- If the walls of the accelerating cavities are made of normally conducting material and the accelerating fields are large, the wall resistivity converts electric energy into heat quickly. On the other hand superconductors also need constant cooling to keep them below their critical temperature, and the accelerating fields are limited by quenches. Therefore, high energy accelerators such as SLAC, still the longest in the world (in its various generations), are run in short pulses, limiting the average current output and forcing the experimental detectors to handle data coming in short bursts.

1. The interpretation of any statute begins with a reading of the words chosen by the legislature and, if those words reveal legislative intent, a court should not resort to public policy considerations in construing the statute.
2. K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1) codifies the general rule that a parent's obligation to pay child support ends when the child reaches age 18 and establishes the exceptions to that rule as being: (A) the supporting parent can agree in writing to pay beyond the child's 18th birthday; (B) the support obligation for a child who turns age 18 during the child's last year of high school will continue until June 30 of the year of graduation, unless the court has ordered to the contrary; and (C) the support for a child whose high school education has been delayed by both parents' consent or acquiescence can be court ordered to continue so long as the child is a bona fide high school student.
3. The June 30 termination date referenced in K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1)(B) applies only if there is no parental agreement or prior court order which establishes an earlier child support termination date for a child reaching age 18 prior to high school graduation.
4. A parent may file a motion to terminate an adult child's support effective on a date after high school graduation but before June 30 following graduation; a district court has the discretion to grant or deny such a motion.
Appeal from Reno District Court; TIMOTHY J. CHAMBERS, judge. Opinion filed September 17, 2004. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Randy M. Barker, of Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, of Topeka, for appellant.
No appearance by appellee.
Before JOHNSON, P.J., MALONE and HILL, JJ.
JOHNSON, J.: The Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS), on behalf of Shirley K. VanBuren (now Nyborg), appeals the district court's granting of a motion to terminate child support on May 31, following the child's graduation from high school. SRS contends that K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1)(B) requires the support payments to continue to June 30 and that the district court's reliance on In re Marriage of Sell, 31 Kan. App. 2d 164, 61 P.3d 739 (2003), was erroneous because the Sell court was wrong. We find Sell to be correct but distinguishable and find the plain statutory language gave the district court authority to terminate child support prior to June 30. However, we remand to permit the district court the opportunity to exercise its discretion as to whether to grant or deny the motion to terminate child support.
Not surprisingly, the father has chosen not to file a brief to contest the additional 1 month's support which SRS seeks. Nevertheless, we perceive no factual disputes. Shirley and Terry Lynn VanBuren, Jr. (father) were divorced in 1988, and father was initially ordered to pay $210 per month in child support. In 1991, the support was reduced, and then in 2001, support was increased, ultimately to $330 per month.
On April 22, 2003, father filed a motion for the termination of his child support obligation effective May 31, 2003. The motion alleged that the child had attained the age of 18 years and would graduate from high school by the end of May. Father's counsel argued the motion before the district court on May 2; SRS, as Shirley's assignee, appeared by counsel and objected to the motion, principally relying on the arguments that Sell is distinguishable because it involved a parental agreement and that the statutes contemplate that a school year ends on June 30. The district court granted the motion based upon its belief that the Sell decision was controlling.
Appellant presents its issue as follows: "Pursuant to K.S.A 60-1610(a)(1)(B), does a child support obligation end in the month of high school graduation or does it continue to June 30, the end of the school year?" SRS then suggests that we have de novo review because the issue presented involves statutory construction. We agree. The case before us can be decided by reading the applicable statute, and statutory construction is a legal question allowing unlimited review. Further, "[a]n appellate court is not bound by the district court's interpretation of a statute." State v. Maass, 275 Kan. 328, 330, 64 P.3d 382 (2003).
K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a) is subtitled "Minor children" and subsection (1) is labeled "Child support and education." The statute authorizes the court to
"order the child support and education expenses to be paid by either or both parents for any child less than 18 years of age, at which age the support shall terminate unless: (A) The parent or parents agree, by written agreement approved by the court, to pay support beyond the time the child reaches 18 years of age; (B) the child reaches 18 years of age before completing the child's high school education in which case the support shall not terminate automatically, unless otherwise ordered by the court, until June 30 of the school year during which the child became 18 years of age if the child is still attending high school; or (C) the child is still a bona fide high school student after June 30 of the school year during which the child became 18 years of age, in which case the court, on motion, may order support to continue through the school year during which the child becomes 19 years of age so long as the child is a bona fide high school student and the parents jointly participated or knowingly acquiesced in the decision which delayed the child's completion of high school." (Emphasis added.)
The interpretation of any statute begins with a reading of the words chosen by the legislature. If those words reveal legislative intent, we must not resort to public policy considerations, such as those advanced in SRS's brief. See Williamson v. City of Hays, 275 Kan. 300, 305, 64 P.3d 364 (2003); O'Bryan v. Columbia Ins. Group, 274 Kan. 572, 575, 56 P.3d 789 (2002) ("Courts should avoid making public policy where the statutory law has developed."). "Ordinary words are to be given their ordinary meaning, and a statute should not be so read as to add that which is not readily found therein or to read out what as a matter of ordinary English language is in it. [Citation omitted.]" GT, Kansas, L.L.C. v. Riley County Register of Deeds, 271 Kan. 311, 316, 22 P.3d 600 (2001).
K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1) codifies the general rule that a parent's obligation to pay child support ends when the child reaches the age of majority, i.e., 18 years old. See Brady v. Brady, 225 Kan. 485, Syl. ¶ 4, 592 P.2d 865 (1979). As with most general rules, this one is subject to exceptions: (A) the supporting parent can agree in writing to pay beyond the child's 18th birthday; (B) the support obligation for a child who turns age 18 during the child's last year of high school will continue until June 30 of the year of graduation, unless the court has ordered to the contrary; and (C) the support for a child whose high school education has been delayed by both parents' consent or acquiescence can be court ordered to continue so long as the child is a bona fide high school student.
Sell principally involved the first exception, a written agreement of the parents. There, the child turned age 18 on August 29, 2000, with 1 year of high school remaining because of a joint decision of the parents. While the child was still a minor, in July 1999, the parents agreed and the court ordered that father's child support obligation "'shall automatically continue through the school year after the minor child has attained the age of 18 on the condition that the child is a bonafide high school student.'" 31 Kan. App. 2d at 164. The agreement further provided that the father was entitled to verify the child's regular school attendance in the school year following the child's 18th birthday to confirm the child's status as a bona fide student. The dispute, raised in a motion by the father, was whether the agreed-upon court order required father to pay child support for June 2001, given that the child graduated May 29, 2001.
Resolution of the dispute in Sell required an interpretation of the parents' agreement and the court's order. K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1)(B) came into play as an aid in interpreting the agreed-upon court order. Further, implicit in the decision was whether 60-1610(a)(1)(B) precluded an agreement or court order to terminate child support prior to the end of June following graduation.
K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1)(B) is stated in the negative, as an exception to the general rule that child support ends when the child reaches age 18. Perhaps the provision would be clearer if rephrased as follows: child support for an 18-year-old who has not completed his or her high school education shall automatically terminate on June 30 of the school year during which the child becomes 18 years old, unless otherwise ordered by the court. To deny the district court the authority to order termination of child support for an 18-year-old who has graduated from high school prior to June 30 would require us to read out of K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1)(B) the plain English language that the legislators have included. The word "automatically" and the phrases "unless otherwise ordered by the court," "before completing the child's high school education," and "still attending high school" cannot be cavalierly ignored. The June 30 termination date is only applicable if the district court has not provided otherwise and the adult child has no inviolable right to support if he or she has ceased attending high school, i.e., has graduated.
Therefore, in Sell, the district court had the authority to order an agreed-upon termination date prior to June 30, 2001. The order did not provide for a specific termination date but rather conditioned the continued support upon the child's status as a bona fide high school student. The Sell court determined that the condition, requiring the child to be a bona fide high school student, was no longer being met when the child graduated, i.e., an alumnus was not still attending high school. Therefore, the parents' agreement was interpreted to terminate father's support obligation upon the child's graduation. 31 Kan. App. 2d at 166-67. We approve the decision in Sell, albeit the case is distinguishable from the facts of the instant case.
Here, we have no parental agreement or prior court order which establishes a child support termination date via a condition precedent. The issue is controlled entirely by our interpretation of K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1)(B). Specifically, the issue is whether that statute permits a parent to seek and the district court to order a child support termination date which is after the child's high school graduation date but before June 30 following graduation.
In K.S.A. 2003 Supp. 60-1610(a)(1)(B), the phrase "unless otherwise ordered by the court," immediately follows the phrase "shall not terminate automatically" and immediately precedes the phrase "until June 30." Contrary to SRS's contention, the June 30 termination date is not mandated for all children. The statutory language clearly manifests a legislative intent to invest the district court with authority to entertain and grant a motion to terminate child support, effective after the child's high school graduation but prior to June 30 following graduation.
Below, the district court apparently determined that it had no discretion to deny the motion because of the Sell precedent, and we have found that determination to be erroneous. If the district court had discretion to grant or deny the motion to terminate child support, we could have no way of knowing how the district court would have exercised the discretion, and therefore we would be unable to affirm the district court as being correct for any reason. See Drake v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue, 272 Kan. 231, 239, 32 P.3d 705 (2001) (reason for trial court ruling immaterial if result correct). On the other hand, if the statutory language precludes a district court from ordering child support to continue for an adult child who has completed his or her high school education, the district court in this case would not have had the authority to deny the motion and we could affirm as being right for the wrong reason.
A minority of the panel believes that the June 30 automatic termination date was imposed as a modification to Brady's automatic termination at age 18 with the purpose of providing a supporting parent the choice of (1) expending the resources to formally request a court ordered termination of child support based upon the child's completion of his or her high school education, or (2) take advantage of the legislatively established automatic termination date. Thus, the minority view is that, when presented with a motion requesting a termination date effective after the adult child's high school graduation, the district court has no choice but to grant the termination.
A majority of the panel believes that the statute clearly gives the district court discretion to order a termination date prior to June 30, and, therefore, the court could also exercise that discretion to deny an earlier termination. In other words, the court has the authority to deny a termination motion, leaving the automatic termination date of June 30 in place. Therefore, we must reverse and remand to allow the district court to exercise its discretion in ruling on the motion to terminate child support.
Reversed and remanded with directions.

NEW YORK — Comedian Mitch Hedberg died accidentally in March of "multiple drug toxicity," including cocaine and heroin, Spin magazine reports, citing reports filed by the New Jersey medical examiner's office.

- 'Toy Story' toys burn up in prank on mom
- Autistic ballerina dances her way into hearts
The medical examiner's findings were filed in May, according to an article in the January issue of Spin about the convergence of comedy and rock 'n' roll.
Hedberg, 37, died in a hotel room in Livingston, N.J., while on a club tour performing standup. The comedian, who was born with a heart defect, was initially believed to have died from heart failure.
He had struggled with drugs and alcohol, and took a hiatus from performing for several months after a May 2003 arrest in Austin, Texas, for felony possession of heroin.
In the Spin article, Maureen Taran, a comedy manager who knew Hedberg, is quoted as saying that life on the road is difficult for a struggling comedian.
"It's a very lonely existence," Taran says. "If you aren't born with manic-depression, you will have it after being in this business."
A hit on "The Late Show With David Letterman," on which he appeared 10 times, and "The Howard Stern Show," Hedberg once was dubbed "the next Seinfeld" by Time magazine. But TV-series fame eluded him because his unique style of mumbled one-liners didn't lend itself to the sitcom format.
Born in St. Paul, Minn., Hedberg rose through the ranks at Minneapolis' Acme Comedy Co. and caught his big break through a Comedy Central special. He had a role in the film "Almost Famous" — smoking fake pot with Peter Frampton — and appeared on Fox's hit series "That '70s Show."
Hedberg had two popular comedy CDs, "Strategic Grill Locations" and "Mitch All Together."

The phrase "forbidden food" isn't exactly in my vocabulary, unless you count something like processed garbage that has hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. Even then, I wouldn't go so far as to say those are "forbidden" ... I just steer clear of them as much as humanly possible. I tend to think that when you label something "forbidden," you're just asking for trouble, setting yourself up to fail.
However -- in the next year leading up to my wedding day, I'm finding more and more that there are foods I'm steering clear of. That are mostly -- whether or not I want to call them this -- becoming somewhat, well, forbidden. Or at least ... I'm thinking of them as having landed into that tiny little spot at the very top of the old food pyramid -- in the "eat very sparingly" category. And while some of my faves definitely fall into that category, plenty don't.
My "NO"s -- or at least the "not all the time"s -- include some of the most obvious vices (and most delicious foods) around. Like sugar. Booze. Beer. White bread ... white pizza crust. (Mmmm.) Basically empty carbs. I'm the last person on earth to rail out against carbs, but the bottom-line with foods like these is clear. The more you eat, the harder it'll be to get down to that perfect wedding dress size. And while I've always tsk-tsk'ed celebs or anyone who thinks that cutting out gluten is some kind of diet fad, I'm also doing my best to limit gluten-packed foods. There definitely is research showing that it can cause inflammation, which can lead to thyroid problems, and in turn, weight resistance. Not to mention bloat, which is bad news for a bride at any point in her wedding timeline! Goodbye, occasional cupcake at work ... Sniff.
The good news is that there are plenty of "YES" foods that, as far as this bride's concerned, can do no harm. Sure, vegans have a field day telling us all that dairy is evil, but research also shows yogurt can be slimming, so serve me up some fro yo! And dark chocolate = endorphins = built-in stress relief (for dealing with the mothers of the bride and groom!). And you know, about that alcohol ... a little glass of red wine here and there never hurt anyone. Or a mojito, with fresh muddled fruit. Hey, antioxidants to ward off illness!
Sure, as I get closer to The Big Day, I may get stricter, but for now, the best way to get to my perfect aisle-walking size seems to be to indulge in (most) of the foods I love in moderation.
What foods were/are "forbidden" for you leading up to your wedding day?

USDA reminds producers of Sept. 4 sales closing date for noninsurable crops
Nolan County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director Dennis Cumbie, reminds producers that they have until Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012, to purchase coverage through the Noninsurable Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). The sales closing date is actually Sept. 1, 2012, but producers have until Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012, to purchase coverage this year because Sept. 1 falls on a weekend and the following Monday is a holiday.NAP provides financial assistance to producers of noninsurable crops when low yields, loss of inventory or prevented planting occur due to normal disasters. "Purchasing a crop insurance policy is an easy way for producers to mitigate risk," said Cumbie. "The past few years have shown that natural disasters can severely impact an otherwise successful operation," he said. The following crops have a NAP application closing date of Sept. 4, 2012: All Small Grains (Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye & Triticale), Beets, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Canola, Cauliflower, Garlic Sod Grass, Greens, Herbs, Kohlrabi, Leeks, Lettuce, Onions, Radishes, Strawberries, Turnips and Value Loss Crops (Christmas Trees, Crustaceans, Fin Fish and flowers). In order to meet eligibility requirements for NAP, crops must be noninsurable, commercially-produced agricultural commodity crops for which the catastrophic risk protection level of crop insurance is not available. If the Risk Management Agency (RMA) offers coverage for a crop in the county, then NAP coverage is not available for that crop. In the event of a natural disaster, NAP covers the amount of loss greater than 50 percent of the expected production based on the approved yield and reported acreage. Eligible producers can apply for coverage using form CCC-471, Application for Coverage. Producers must file the application and service fee by the Sept. 4, deadline. The service fee is the lesser of $250 per crop or $750 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,875 for a producer with farming interests in multiple counties. For more information on sales closing dates and NAP, contact the Nolan County FSA office at 325-235-8693.

Light heavyweight Seanie Monaghan (17-0, 10 KOs) fights Dion Stanley (11-4) in a contest scheduled for eight rounds this Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall on the undercard of the Nonito Donaire/Guillermo Rigondeaux fight.
The Irish Voice caught up with the 31-year-old Monaghan to see how his preparations are going for his second fight of 2013.
"I am in great shape and I have never felt better. I want to put on a good performance, and I want to prove that I am a level above this guy," said Monaghan on Monday.
Stanley is a journeyman 36-year-old veteran from Kansas City who last fought in May 2011. Monaghan was last in action on January 19 when he won a unanimous decision over Roger Cantrell, but he came out of that fight hurt.
"I came out of that fight with a hand injury – I tore a ligament between my knuckles," said Monaghan.
Doctors initially thought it might take some months to heal, but Monaghan recuperated ahead of schedule. He credits the injury with giving him more time to work on the technical side of his game and to improve his physical conditioning.
Monaghan, who is trained by Joe Higgins, took five weeks off from contact work and then got the go ahead to start using the hand again. He now says the injury has fully healed and that he has come through all his heavy bag work and sparring with no ill effects.
To prepare for this fight Monaghan sparred with light heavyweight contender Isaac Chilemba, who recently fought to a draw with Tony Bellew (another man that Monaghan has sparred in recent times) in a WBC light heavyweight title eliminator.
"I sparred with him [Chilemba] couple of times, so I got some good work with him. If I can spar with him then I am ready for this guy," said Monaghan.
Monaghan's confidence is such that he said he would be willing to fight either Bellew or Chilemba at this stage of his career, as he is ready to make some major moves. However, to make these moves, he will need to sign with a promoter.
"To get where I am with no promoter is doing well, but to go to the next level I will need a promoter," said Monaghan, who added that Top Rank and Lou DiBella are the front-runners to get his signature.
Tickets are available for Saturday's fight online at Ticketmaster and from the box offices at Radio City Music Hall and MSG.

Soccer hero to return for football clinic
PHUKET: Peter Withe, arguably Thailand's most successful head coach ever and currently Indonesia's national coach, is to return to Thailand to take part in a football clinic in Phuket, for children who were affected by the tsunami.
This Sunday, August 28, the three-hour free clinic at Surakul Stadium for some 400 students from 19 schools will start at 8:30 am with an opening ceremony hosted by the Governor of Phuket, Udomsak Uswarangkura.
The event, sponsored by Tesco Lotus, the Jason Withe Football Development Organization and Adidas, will be staggered so that students are able to receive maximum personal attention.
The day will include entertainment at 11 am and a football match pitting the Phuket Area Educational Office against the "Allstars" at 3 pm.
Withe coached Thailand to some spectacular wins in the Tiger Cup in 2000 and 2002, as well as leading the national side to an unforgettable victory over South Korea in the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok.
The much-traveled Liverpudlian was controversially suspended on full pay for the last two months of his contract by the Football Association of Thailand, ostensibly for wearing shorts at games instead of a suit.
Withe scored the winner for Aston Villa against Bayern Munich in the 1982 European Cup Final.

Alleged Greek murderer of Phuket beautician remains at large
PHOTO: Dimitrios 'Dim' Chairopoulo, wanted and believed to be living in Greece
Local Phuket police are yet be informed of the latest in an international hunt for a Greek alleged murderer Dimitrios Chairopoulos. He remains wanted as a suspect in the murder of local beautician 43 year old Niramon 'Bea' Aewkaew in Phuket during February.
Cherng Talay police say they want an Interpol Red Notice issued so that they can track down and arrest 42 year old Dimitrios 'Dim' Chairopoulos, wanted for the murder. Bea and Dim were seen leaving their accommodation on February 11. It was the last time Bea would be seen alive.
Mr Chairopoulos was recorded as clearing Immigration at Phuket International Airport to board a flight to Dubai in the hours after Ms Niramon was last seen alive. He boarded an Emirates flight EK0379 to Dubai, departing Phuket at 2am. Police also confirmed that he arrived in Dubai on the same day.
"If he comes back to Thailand he will be arrested," said Chief Col Sen Kwannimit of the Cherng Talay Police.
A request for a Red Notice was submitted with the Foreign Affairs Division of the Royal Thai Police on February 19 but, for now, no formal international's notice has been published..
Cherng Talay Police confirmed that Dim was seen leaving the room at a guesthouse in Bang Tao where Ms Niramon's body was found on Saturday, February 16.
In the days leading up to her murder her family had been desperately trying to contact her.
'Bea' was the eldest of 5 children from Phatthalung province and had been working in Phuket as a beautician at the time.
One of her sisters, May' was contacted on February 15 by one of Bea's workmates trying to locate her.
Neither May or Bea's other sisters, relatives or friends were able to contact her. Bea had just moved to a new house so nobody knew where she was living. Another sister, Pichy, spoke to friends and was able, using Google Maps, to locate the guesthouse she was staying.
The owner of the room told the family that the air-conditioning was on in the room but there was no response. When the owner returned with a key he informed the family that Bea was found on the bed with a black cloth stuffed in her mouth and her hands and feet bound.
CCTV footage shows the couple leaving the room in the afternoon of February 11, the last time that Bea was seen alive.
Dimitrios 'Dim' Chairopoulos with his daughter from another relationship
What we know about the alleged murderer?
Dimitrios 'Dim' Chairopoulos, who remains at large and thought to be in Greece, worked as security in a night club in Athens. He already had a daughter to another woman in Greece.
During his relationship and marriage with Bea he was said to be 'controlling' and 'jealous' by members of Bea's family. A close family friend told The Thaiger that the family had concerns for Bea's safety and were 'uncomfortable' with her ongoing relationship and marriage with Dim.
"We tried to get to know him at family functions but he was not easy to know and seemed very possessive of Bea," said one of the close family members who asked not to be named.
"He did threaten to kill her if she ever left him and Oh, another of her sisters, went with Bea to file a report of the threats at the Cherng Talay police station at the time," they explained.
That report was made to police in 2016. A year later the pair married and were still married at the time of the murder.
"He would drive past the beauty shops that Bea worked at and spy on her."
The family claim that, apart from his own possessions, he also stole Bea's phone before he headed to the Phuket International Airport on the evening of the murder.
So where is Dimitrios Chairopoulo?
At this stage the Greek Embassy has made no comment about the case or followed up with Greek Police about the pursuit for the fugitive man.
There are currently approximately 58,000 valid Red Notices worldwide of which only 7,000 are public. An Interpol Red Notice has not been issued to alert international police or Immigration officials to be on the look-out for Dim.
For now, the alleged murderer of Bea – an innocent Phuket beautician, beloved sister and family member – remains at large, most probably in Greece.
If anyone has any information about Dimitrios 'Dim' Chairopoulo's whereabouts or information that may lead police to arrest him, please send a confidential message to The Thaiger.

As we nudge closer to WWDC 2011, Apple has reportedly started to field-test iOS 5. This is based on crashlog reports received by iPhone app developer FutureTap. The crashlog didn't mention if the device was an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch but did show a device running iPhone OS 5.0, or what Apple has publicly refers to now as iOS 5.
Just received the first iOS 5.0 crash report. MKUserLocationBreadCrumb sounds interesting.
It looks like Apple has made a few changes to the location and mapping APIs used by Where To, the app FutureTap received the crashlog from. The log didn't reveal very much information outside of the unreleased OS, but it's good to see they're working hard in the background as we get closer to a summer release.
What new and exciting things are you hoping we'll see in iOS 5? Let us know in the comments below!

Thank You, Ralph and Paul: Reflecting on 10 years of marriage in Massachusetts
May 15, 2014
Editors' Note: This post was originally published in Bay Windows by Freedom to Marry's National Campaign Director, Marc Solomon. He began working on marriage in 2001 as a volunteer with the Massachusetts Freedom to Marry Coalition. He then served as executive director of MassEquality and today is national campaign director of Freedom to Marry. His upcoming book, Winning Marriage: The Inside Story of How Same-Sex Couples Took on the Politicians and Pundits —and Won, with a foreword from Governor Deval Patrick, will be available on November 12.
I will never, ever forget May 17, 2004, the day that same-sex couples began marrying in Massachusetts. I was then legislative director for the Freedom to Marry Coalition of Massachusetts (and have been working full-time at the cause ever since!).
The scene in Cambridge at 12:01 am was one of unmitigated joy—hundreds and hundreds of same-sex couples lined up for marriage licenses for the first time in US history, and thousands of ecstatic onlookers. Among the couples were my friends Ralph Hodgdon and the late Paul McMahon. Then aged sixty-nine and seventy-one, they had been at home watching the 11 o'clock news and when they saw the massive outpouring at Cambridge City Hall, they decided they had to be there.
For me, Ralph and Paul's marriage embodied powerfully what the significance of what transpired on May 17, 2004, when legal marriage for same-sex couples became real for the first time in American history.
I first met Ralph and Paul at a Boston Pride celebration, where they were marching with their simple yet profound sign: "Together 47 Years." They became symbols of our cause, proud to show the world that same-sex relationships embody love and deep commitment and can endure for a lifetime, even through years of hardship imposed by a homophobic society, along with the ups and downs that every relationship has.
That night at City Hall, holding their sign that now read, "Together 48 Years," they drew number 249, so they'd have to wait for hours until they got their chance. But to them, that was nothing compared to the forty-eight years they'd already waited.
The two had lived as out gay men for most of their lives. In Boston's Bay Village, they found community but endured harassment by gangs of thugs who would periodically come to wreck trees and smash window boxes. The police provided no protection; they were more likely to threaten or dismiss gay people than take their complaints seriously. They became activists, joining up in Boston's early Pride parades in the 1970s, marching alongside teachers who wore paper bags over their heads because they could be fired for being gay, and enduring jeers and avoiding thrown tomatoes on the route that police refused to protect.
"For me, Ralph and Paul's marriage embodied powerfully what the significance of what transpired on May 17, 2004,"
That night of May 17, 2004, things couldn't have been more different. When they emerged from City Hall around 5:00 a.m., there was still a crowd of well-wishers applauding them. Good Morning America grabbed them for an interview. They were beaming. And they married a week and a half later, on May 29, on their forty-ninth anniversary, in Boston's Public Gardens.
Sadly, Paul passed away in the spring of 2011, after nearly seven years of marriage and 56 years of being together with Ralph. When I saw Ralph earlier this year, he told me how powerfully significant their marriage had been, both as a symbol of the commitment of their relationship and as a practical matter, as it enabled him to make medical decisions for Paul in his waning days.
Today, same-sex couples are marrying in Arkansas, along with 17 other states and the District of Columbia. Fifty-nine percent of Americans now support the freedom to marry, with majorities in every region of the country. And as of this week, with the affirmative court ruling in Idaho, we've prevailed in 12 out of 12 federal lawsuits since the Supreme Court struck down the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. We are winning (though we haven't yet won).
There are many reasons for that. But none is more important than the fact that the freedom to marry was made real on May 17, 2004, in the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, so that couples like Ralph and Paul, and so many others, could show Americans that same-sex couples have powerful, enduring relationships, that marriage matters so much to them, and as a result that it's in the best tradition of America to treat committed same-sex couples with full dignity and equality—and that includes the freedom to marry.
Thank you, Massachusetts. And thank you, Ralph and Paul.
