02.29.08A Tragedy but….A motorist who was texting on her mobile phone when she hit and killed a cyclist has been sentenced to four years in prison. Jordan Wickington, 19, died from head injuries when he went through a red light and was struck by Kiera Coultas's car in Southampton in February 2007. The 25-year-old from Hythe, Hampshire, was driving at 45mph in a 30mph zone. Miss Coultas had earlier been found guilty at Southampton Crown Court of causing death by dangerous driving.

02.29.08My Liver, With LoveDaniel Foster was dying from primary sclerosing cholangitis, which was diagnosed more than ten year ago. The only way forward was to have a liver transplant. and doctors said he needed one within a year. In the UK, like the rest of the world, the list of those waiting for a transplant far exceeds donors. Jennifer Foster saved her husband Daniel's life by donating more than half her liver. It was the first of its kind in Scotland, and took place in January this year. The risks were high, said experts. The procedure at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh lasted about ...

The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. We must polish the Polish furniture. He could lead if he would get the lead out. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. I did not object to the object. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. There ...

02.27.08Death Of A FormatI'm not a teenager. However, I've had a life long interest in music, and it's my number one relaxation activity, besides reading. I'm always playing it. I almost never watch TV. I don 't have an iTunes account, or an iPod but as I type this, I'm listening to mp3s on my Sansa m240, which I've downloaded from Napster during the last week. Interestingly, although, I've not purchased any CDs for at least 3-4 years, I do, however, get sent a lot of promo CDs, as I run an internet radio station, NAB Radio, with the accent on showcasing indie ...

02.27.08Smell The CoffeePractically all the Starbucks stores across the nation closed their doors recently for three hours, to have a training session for their staff. They're closing 100 stores, and scaling back business expansion plans. Wall Street, who once saw them as one of the gold jewels, now look upon Starbucks as yet another fast food chain. Many folks are not impressed with Starbucks, and avoid them. Others flock there on a daily basis. Well, myself, I'm an occasional user. I don't think their coffees are wonderfully out of this world, but they're ok, and while I've had better, I've certainly had ...
