The Federal Aviation Administration suspended the license of Timber Harkins, 21, saying his operation of the Cessna 172 was "careless or reckless" and endangered the lives of his passengers.

Killed in the crash in May was Pamela Miller, 39, of Troy. Her bargain cause he "reached the conclusion today I may not be doing the right thing by pursuing homicide charges against Mr. Seelye." Connor said although evidence gathered shortly after the riot indicated that Seelye had participated in causing the deaths of other inmates, the passage of time would have made that difficult to prove during trial. While Seelye admitted participating in the riot, he denied being directly involved with killings. The agreement came as more than 100 potential jurors were waiting to be questioned by defense and prosecution attorneys.

Instead, McCarter accepted the plea agreement and sentenced Seelye to two five-year sentences that will run concurrently.

Real Estate Review Question Should you keep track of the amount of money that you spend on your home for repairs and improvements? Answer Yes.

Keeping track of what you spend for repairs and improvements is very important. Over the years that you own your home this amount can accumulate into a substantial sum. When you sell your home, it may have appreciated in value and you may be liable for taxes on the "gain" in value of your home.
