Searchers find remains of pilot after Utah crash

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- Searchers found the remains of a pilot whose F-16 crashed in the desert following a midair collision, the Air Force said Saturday.

The body of the pilot, whose name was not released, was found early Saturday afternoon several miles from where his plane crashed Friday, said Col. Steve Hoog, commander of the 388th Fighter Wing.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the young pilot," Hoog said. "Our next focus is to figure out the how and why behind this accident."

The plane collided with an F-16 piloted by Capt. David Roszmann, who ejected safely from his craft. He was taken to a clinic at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden and released Friday evening, the Air Force said.

Separated twins return to Guatemala soon

LOS ANGELES -- Twin girls born joined at the head and separated in a complex, 23-hour surgery may soon return home to Guatemala following more than two months of recovery.

Maria de Jesus and Maria Teresa Quiej Alvarez could leave Los Angeles as early as Tuesday, doctors at Mattel Children's Hospital at the University of California, Los Angeles, said Friday.

Doctors remain optimistic the twins will fully recover and lead normal lives.

"From the beginning, we saw the girls as two separate individuals leading their own lives," said UCLA neurosurgeon Dr. Jorge Lazareff.

The departure date depends on Maria de Jesus' recovery from a recent surgery to clean and close her scalp incisions, UCLA spokeswoman Elaine Schmidt said.

Gov. Bush's daughter released from jail

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter was released from jail early Saturday, 10 days after a judge ordered her locked up for violating terms of her court-ordered drug treatment program.

Noelle Bush left the Orange County jail around 4 a.m., said Allen Moore, spokesman for the county corrections department.

She returned to the Center for Drug-Free Living in Orlando, said her brother, George P. Bush.

The president's 25-year-old niece had been ordered to attend drug treatment after she was arrested in January for allegedly trying to use a fraudulent prescription to buy the anti-anxiety drug Xanax at a pharmacy drive-through window.

School lunch program gets irradiated meat

WASHINGTON -- Schoolchildren in the national lunch program for the first time can munch on meat that has been sterilized through irradiation, the Agriculture Department says.

Irradiation is a technology that rids food of parasites and bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella, by exposing it to low levels of gamma rays or electrons.

The government began allowing companies to sell irradiated meat to the public in 1999, but the treated foods were prohibited in the school lunch program, Alisa Harrison, a department spokeswoman, said Friday.
