| Sex attack Cadet leader jailed
AN AIR Cadet leader who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old boy during an expedition has been jailed for two years. Supporters watching from a packed public gallery wept in disbelief as Christopher Day, a squadron leader for the Wanstead and Woodford Air Training Corps (ATC), was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday. A wounded-looking Day hurriedly left the dock as the gavel sounded, escaping public view for a few moments before he was brought back in to the courtroom and ordered to sign on the sex offenders' register for 10 years. Judge Sasha Wass told Day: "You were commanding officer and you manipulated events so that you shared a bed. "You abused your position of trust and worse than that you abused the power you had over the young cadet." "I have seen him give evidence in this case.

Leeza Constantoulakis: Coming of age
We all gathered around at the end of summer promising how we'd never forget each other, every week we'd call, we'd text all the time and tons of messages would be sent over the Internet. Well, once we got to college this promise stood strong for about a week or two, then slowly it began to die. We all were busy making new lives, meeting new people, getting involved in sports, clubs, sororities, fraternities and classes. I wanted to stay in touch with everyone, but it got very difficult to do so. When I have time I try to text or call some of my friends, but it takes up time that you don't always have. I used to believe if you really wanted to stay in touch with someone you would make time, and while this is mostly true it wasn't as easily done as it was said. In high school we don't fully understand how much seeing each other every day and living so close has a huge impact on staying in touch because even in high school we used the Internet and cell phones to talk.

Waubonsie grad reaches for the sky
I'm waiting to hear the smooth hum of the engines, but instead I'm listening to a loud whirring sound with an occasional clank that doesn't seem normal. Casey scrunches up his round face, confirming that something isn't right. My mind flashes to the odd roadside monument I passed on Route 71 that morning -- a twin-prop plane with its nose buried in the ground. All I can think about is, how did I get here? But the more compelling question is, how did Casey Deegan get here? Casey's life, Part 1 This wasn't the life Casey was supposed to have. He wasn't supposed to ride a bike when he was 5. He wasn't supposed to go to high school or have a job. He wasn't supposed to someday sit in a bar with his dad, drinking a Miller Lite or two -- but never more than two -- and talking about the latest love of his life, a girl he met when he was in Las Vegas to see his mother for Thanksgiving.
