Teen Sisters Killed In Crash

Story from WKYT

Two sisters, both high school students, are dead after a crash in Harrison County Monday night.

The two have been identified as Jennifer and Sarah Riggs.
The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department says the two students killed were a junior and a senior at Harrison County High School.

The accident happened three miles east of Cynthiana on 62.
That’s where police tell 27 NEWSFIRST a Camry heading west rounded a curve and lost control and hit a dodge pickup truck. Two other teens were also hurt. They are also students at the high school.
One adult was hurt as well in the crash.

More than 100 students were at the high school Monday night where counselors were on hand to aid grieving students.
School officials say both girls were very popular and active in school.

Homecoming was scheduled for the week, but all activities have been canceled to let students grieve.

AM 1400 – WCYN

I was out running a few errands this morning, and ended up having to sit in the car for a bit, in order to wait for one of the businesses to open up… I ended up listening to WCYN while I was sitting in the van–the reason why I was listening to WCYN was because my usual radio station does not come in at that spot (as well as many others) in Cynthiana.
Anyway, I got to catch the last ten minutes of Coffeebreak, and the first few of Ray Chamberlain’s Words of Faith program.
On Coffeebreak, this morning, Rick was speaking with (I forget the first name) Furnish about an event that is taking place this weekend for the benefit of St. Edward’s. I ended up discovering something that I hadn’t know… St. Edwards has bought a few properties in order to expand. They’re the only church in town that hasn’t had any expansion in the last few years. Honestly, I’m glad that they’re expanding, for, as Furnish had said on this morning’s program, they are in desperate need of common and play areas for the children of the church and school. I hope that this fundraiser, and any further that they have become fruitful, and assist in this effort.
On Chamberlain’s spot, he read a poem that his wife shares each September. I absolutely loved the poem, but forgot the title and the author, so I called up Radioshack, and asked Leann if she could find out what poem had appeared on this morning’s radio spot. She, in turn called the church, and got in touch with her grandmother, who informed us that the poem is September, by Helen Hunt Jackson. The story that Ray shared along with the poem was quite cute… Ray said that he believes that the Mrs. brings the poem out each year, for the fond memory that she has each September is their engagement. If that isn’t romantic, I do not know what is…
After receiving the call back from Leann, I hopped on the net, in order to attempt to offer a suggestion to WCYN, for the sale of their Coffeebreak program… they keep an archive of their programs for five days, so that they may be able to sell copies to the public… Cassettes are $15 and CDs $20… Well, I thought that maybe I could suggest that they offer copies in mp3, available for sale and download from the website… That’s when I discovered that the idea may have already come about, for they are doing something that they hadn’t before… they are streaming their broadcast…

Big Brother Really Is Watching Us All

Big Brother Really Is Watching Us All
siddesu writes “The BBC has a nice high-level overview of some technologies for surveillance developed in the US and the UK. ‘The US and UK governments are developing increasingly sophisticated gadgets to keep individuals under their surveillance. When it comes to technology, the US is determined to stay ahead of the game … But it [a through-the wall sensing device in development] will also show whether someone inside a house is looking to harm you, because if they are, their heart rate will be raised. And 10 years from now, the technology will be much smarter. We’ll scan a person with one of these things and tell what they’re actually thinking.'”

OLPC Cost Rises To $188 Per Laptop

I’m saddened by this news…. the poor thing will be nearly twice as expensive as anticipated… still, the price may go down in the future, as it gets more support…


OLPC Cost Rises To $188 Per Laptop
Arathon writes “The amazing ‘$100 laptop’ designed by the ‘One Laptop Per Child’ program isn’t going to make it out the door for that price. CNN reports that the laptops are now expected to cost $188 apiece when they come out later this fall. This is expected to make the program’s appeal potentially much smaller, since the developers were relying on the mind-bogglingly low-price to hook governments into the concept of buying laptops for their people. OLPC’s spokesman guarantees that the price won’t rise further, to ‘above $190’. The price differential is being blamed on raw materials costs and currency fluctuation. Is this the end of the OLPC’s newsworthiness, or should we continue to hope that it will make the difference that so many have said it will?”
