Gerson Fuentes, 28, was sentenced to life in prison but, as part of his plea deal, will be eligible to seek probation after serving 25 to 30 years. He will also have to register as a sex offender. The case became a flashpoint in the national discussion about access to the procedure since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The girl, who turned 10 before having the abortion, confirmed that Fuentes attacked her, Fuentes confessed to Columbus police detectives, and DNA testing of the aborted fetus confirmed Fuentes was the father, Franklin County prosecutors have said. They also have noted they could not find any evidence that Fuentes was in the country legally. READ MORE: One year without Roe v. Wade: Here's where abortion laws stand in your state Fuentes, who is from Guatemala and was living in Columbus, had been held without bond since his arrest. If he eventually wins parole, he would likely be deported. ___________________________________________________ A professor asked a student to remain for a few moments after class. Holding out the young man's assignment, the professor said, "Did you write this poem all by yourself?" The student said, "Every word of it." The professor said, "Well, I thought you were long dead, Mr. Poe. I was always taught that you were long dead." And as he pulled out a wicked looking knife, "I guess I will have to rectify that." __________________________________________________ Ladies - If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves.

Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail addresses. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. You call your son's beeper to let him know it's time to eat. He e-mails you back from his bedroom, "What's for dinner?" Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her web site.. You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this year. You check the ingredients on a can of chicken noodle soup to see if it contains Echinacea. Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home. Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of the screen. You buy a computer and 6 months later it is out of date and now sells for half the price you paid. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it. Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and takes planning. Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car. You just tried to enter your password on the microwave. You consider second day air delivery painfully slow. Your dining room table is now your flat filing cabinet. Your idea of being organized is multiple colored Post-it notes. You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person. You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls. You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one. You get up in morning and go on-line before getting your coffee. You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your E-mail on your way back to bed. You start tilting your head sideways to smile:-) ___________________________________________________  From:Marge Re: More than one extension Dear Webby I do not understand what you mean by two extensions. Do you mean paper clips or forwards? Please explain. Thank you. Marge  Dear Marge Sometimes people send you a mail that has a file attached. It could be a picture, music, accounting spreadsheet, ot it could be some nuisance stuff like a virus or a worm. Each filename has an extension, like color coding, that tells the computer what to do with it. If the file "sunrise" is a picture, then probably the extension would be ".jpg" or ".gif" When your computer sees ".jpg" or ".gif" at the end of a file, it knows that it is a picture and it opens the file with a picture viewer or picture editor. If the extension is ".xls" or ".odf" then Windows knows it is a spreadsheet file and opens it with the right program. Many viruses are hidden by giving them first a safe looking extension and then tackig a different one behind it. If you see for example a file like "backdoor.jpg.bat", then that file is not a picture, but is a program that installs a backdoor for hackers into your computer, and probably also sends itself to everybody in your address book. Therefore, whenever you see more than one extension on a file, dump it fast and thoroughly. Have Fun!
