I know exactly what to play in the (pick 3, 4, 5 etc.) on the correct day!

Today I saw an image/picture/flash in my mind of Stonehenge and I saw another one on Tuesday. Any mystical heavyweights out there or Stonehenge experts who can share some insight. No, I haven't been looking for any information on Stonehenge and I have not seen or heard any news reports either. Is there something going at that site that I missed in the news?? Thanks for your comments in advance.

How about my Carolina Tarheels battling it out to win against the Florida State Seminoles last night. No, it was not pretty and yes they struggled, but those are the ones that you say, "Hell yeah, I'll take that win!" Final score, with a desperation shot by Carolina, with 3 seconds left in the game, that went in for 3 points, Tarheels 80, Seminoles 77.

The Demon Deacons pulled it off and beat the Duke Blue Devils tonight by a score of 70 - 68. Dino Gaudio and the boys deserved the win for sure....................the ACC is  a deep conference for sure!!!

Congrats Demon Deacons!!!

Mississippi Mayor indicted on Katrina fraud charges

JACKSON, Miss. - The mayor of a Mississippi city devastated by Hurricane Katrina pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he lied to get disaster assistance to repair his damaged beachfront home.

Gulfport Mayor Brent Warr is the highest-ranking public official so far to be charged with fraud related to the storm that slammed the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005.

He and his wife, Laura, pleaded not guilty in federal court to charges in a 16-count indictment that was issued Jan. 22 but not made public until Wednesday.

Brent Warr said in a statement the charges have nothing to do with his role as mayor and he will continue to run the coastal city of about 73,000 people 80 miles east of New Orleans.

Allegations of insurance fraud
The two are accused of seeking a homeowners assistance grant for a storm-damaged beachfront home they owned but did not live in. The government is seeking forfeiture of $222,798. Warr, 45, and his wife, 43, also are accused of making false claims to their insurance company.

"This inquiry has been going on for more than a year now, and we hope and pray for a much faster resolution," Warr said in his statement. "We have entered a plea of not guilty. Out of respect for the justice system and the government, I will not speak further about the claim made against us."

U.S. Attorney Dunn Lampton declined comment and Warr's attorney did not immediately respond to a call from The Associated Press.

Warr, a first-term Republican mayor and wealthy businessman, had been praised for his leadership after the storm. He was mentioned in 2007 as a possible candidate for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by retiring Republican Trent Lott, but said at the time he had too much work to do helping Gulfport recover from Katrina.

Mississippi Rep. Steven Palazzo, R-Biloxi, said he prays Warr will be cleared of the charges.

"He wouldn't do anything intentionally to hurt the Gulf Coast," said Palazzo, who has known the Warr family for decades.

Gulfport is home to the State Port of Gulfport, which was heavily damaged by the killer storm. The area is best known for its manmade beaches and glitzy casinos.

Inspectors find mildew in tainted peanut butter plant

CNN WIRE

Tuesday, January 27th 2009, 10:32 AM

Inspectors found mildew on a ceiling and other problems during inspections last year at a peanut butter producing plant in  Georgia  that has been linked to a salmonella outbreak, according to reports released Monday by 
the state Department of Agriculture.

But the owner of the Blakely, Georgia, plant --  Virginia-based  Peanut Corporation of America  (PCA) -- described the problems as ''relatively minor and for the most part corrected on site.''

The Blakely plant stopped production earlier this month and PCA launched a nationwide recall of peanut butter and peanut paste made at the plant after July 1, 2008.

The New York Times  reported Monday that Georgia agriculture inspection reports from 2006 and 2007 depicted a series of sanitation lapses in the Blakely plant.

Citing an inspection report from Aug. 23, 2007, the Times noted at least three incidences in which ''food-contact surfaces'' were ''not properly cleaned and sanitized.''

In an apparent response to the Times article, PCA released a statement saying, ''When the observations were noted during inspections by the  Georgia Department of Agriculture, corrective action was taken immediately where 
possible and subsequently when immediate action was not possible.''

The statement, which PCA sent to  CNN  accompanied by a copy of a state inspection report from last October, continued that ''The most recent inspection observations by the state (the October inspection report) were relatively minor and for the most part corrected on site.''

In the October 23, 2008 report, an inspector said she found ''mildew and possibly some static dust on ceiling of butter storage room.'' The report did not specify the amount of mildew.

The report continued with the notation, ''Correct By: 11/05/2008,'' but the report did not indicate whether any action was taken or whether there was a follow-up inspection.

Moisture was blamed for an unrelated salmonella outbreak two years ago traced to another Georgia peanut processing plant.

An inspection of PCA's Blakely plant, in June 2008, found violations including dust buildup on a fan in the butter room, and ''possible metal flakes from metal scrubber which is used to clean outside of equipment,'' according to 
an inspection report. The report did not indicate where the flakes were found.

PCA has emphasized in its news releases that the peanut butter and peanut paste made at the Blakely plant were sold in bulk to manufacturers, and that the recall does not involve any packaged peanut butter sold directly to 
consumers.

The  Atlanta-based  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  has counted nearly 500 cases of salmonella illnesses in 43 states from the most recent outbreak, and says the bacterial infection might have contributed to seven 
deaths. 

DTV Switch Delay Approved By Senate

The move pushes the deadline to June 12, giving federal agencies more time to prepare the public for the move from analog to digital television broadcasting.

Postponement of the nationwide transition from  analog  to digital TV broadcasting was virtually assured after the U.S. Senate Monday unanimously approved delaying the switch until June 12. With President Obama and the House of Representatives already signaling their approval of the delay, the measure should be settled this week.

The switch, originally scheduled to occur on Feb. 17, will affect several million Americans who still receive television broadcasts over old analog sets, typically through the use of rabbit ear or rooftop antennas. The Neilson rating company has estimated that at least 6 million Americans won't be able to get digital broadcasts with converter boxes. Some Americans -- there are no accurate estimates of how many -- won't be able to receive analog or digital reception after the switch. To get reception, they will have to buy satellite or convert to digital cable.

"This is a big step toward ensuring that consumers can adequately prepare for the  DTV  transition," Sen. Amy Klobucher, D-Minn., said in an e-mail. "Delay allows federal agencies to adequately prepare." She said the current capacities of federal call centers can handle only 350,000 daily calls from consumers of the 1.5 million who are expected to call in the days immediately following the switchover. The campaign to delay the switch was spearheaded by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V., and Klobucher in the Senate.

The FCC has already auctioned the old analog spectrum for nearly $20 billion, most of it going to AT&T and Verizon Wireless. Government officials decided the 700-MHz spectrum could be vacated, because most consumers had moved to  cable  and satellite reception and weren't using the spectrum anyway. A portion of the 700-MHz band was set aside for use by public safety agencies, but there were no serious bids for that section of the spectrum. FCC officials have said they want to schedule another auction to sell spectrum that can be used for public safety purposes.

Sen. Klobucher, who said 21% of Minnesotans still use analog broadcasts, noted that the analog spectrum serves an important public safety role. "Consumers who do not successfully make the transition," she said, "will lose access to the Emergency Alert System and Amber Alert messages."

The federal program to assist consumers in making the move from analog to digital broadcasting ran out of money recently, interfering with the flow of coupons consumers can use to purchase converters that will enable their old analog sets to receive digital broadcasts.

Octuplets born in California doing 'very well'

BELLFLOWER, Calif. – The octuplets born to a mother in Southern California are doing "very, very well" and breathing on their own, one of their doctors said Tuesday.

Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, told ABC's "Good Morning America" the eight babies were in stable condition.

Two of the newborns — the second live octuplets born in U.S. history — were initially put on ventilators, but their breathing tubes have been removed.

"Only three babies need some sort of oxygen through the nose right now but they are breathing on their own," Gupta said. "The babies are doing actually very, very well."

The mother, who was not identified, gave birth Monday to the six boys and two girls weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces, and 3 pounds, 4 ounces. The eighth baby was a surprise to the parents and doctors who had been expecting only seven children.

"It is quite easy to miss a baby when you're anticipating seven," said Dr. Harold Henry, chief of maternal and fetal medicine and one of 46 doctors, nurses and assistants who delivered the children by Caesarean section.

Just five minutes after the first birth, the unexpected eighth baby came out at 10:48 a.m. "My eyes were wide," said Dr. Karen Maples, chief of the department of obstetrics and gynecology.

Maples said the mother was "very comfortable now. She is currently stable and we're observing her. She's also very excited about the health of her babies and she's extremely happy."

Doctors said they repeatedly conducted practice sessions in anticipation of the deliveries and were well prepared. Maples credited that with the ability to handle the unexpected eighth baby. "It was wonderful just knowing that our teamwork paid off," she said.

The babies — dubbed with the letters A-through-H — will probably remain in the hospital for at least two months and the mother should be released in a week, said Maples. The most encouraging news was that the smallest — Baby E, a boy weighing just 1 pound, 8 ounces — no longer needed a ventilator. Gupta described him as "very feisty" on Tuesday.

The doctors cautioned that there is still the possibility that one or more of the octuplets may need a breathing tube again, and more dangers await when they begin feeding.

The mother checked into the hospital in her 23rd week of pregnancy and gave birth to the premature babies seven weeks later. Gupta said the woman was given spinal anesthesia and could hear the babies as they came out.

The world's first live octuplets were born in March 1967 in Mexico City, but all died within 14 hours, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

The United States' first live octuplets were born in Houston in 1998, three months premature. The tiniest died a week after the birth. The surviving siblings turned 10 in December.

Their parents, Nkem Chukwu and Iyke Louis Udobi, told The Associated Press that they were delighted to hear another mother managed the same feat.

"It's a blessing, truly a blessing," Chukwu said. "We'll keep praying for them."

Dr. Richard Paulson, director of the fertility program at the University of Southern California, said the latest births likely resulted from the use of fertility drugs. Hospital officials would not say whether the mother had used such aids.

Paulson said the children could face serious health risks, including breathing problems and neurological damage. The mother also has an increased risk of hemorrhage, Paulson said.

"It's a risky decision to try to have all eight babies," said Paulson, who had no role in the delivery. "I would not recommend it under any circumstances, but I respect a parent's decision."

The Bellflower medical center, located about 17 miles southeast of Los Angeles, has an advanced neonatal unit. The most infants previously delivered at the hospital was five, the Los Angeles Times said.

The birth took a lot out of more than just the mother. Maples, who helped deliver the brood, said that when she got home: "I was humbled, I was exhausted and I took a nap."

Crew members escape after aircraft lands in freezing mist at Texas airport

updated 10:37 a.m. ET, Tues., Jan. 27, 2009

LUBBOCK, Texas - A FedEx cargo plane landing at a Texas airport veered off the runway, crashed and caught fire, but both crew members walked away from the wreckage, officials said.

Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport director James Loomis said the ATR-42 twin-turboprop aircraft landed just after 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.

He said crews extinguished the fire quickly.

The plane landed in a freezing mist, but Loomis said weather was not a factor in the incident.

The crew members were being evaluated at University Medical Center in Lubbock.
