The former St. Joseph's University administrator who supplied party drugs - crystal methamphetamine and GHB, the date-rape drug - the night a North Dakota man was murdered in 2006 was sentenced yesterday in a Delaware County court. Fen Bruce Covington, 59, of State College, received a state term of eight months to five years along with 11 years of supervision for possession with intent to deliver. He will be eligible for release on good behavior after six months. Covington was convicted in September in a nonjury trial. Thomas F. Lawrie, assistant district attorney, said Covington, a well-educated man with a family and a history of good jobs, "chose a lifestyle of perversion and crime" and should receive a state prison sentence. At St. Joseph's, Covington was director of planned giving. "I do have a lot of regret and shame," said Covington, who acknowledged he has an addiction to drugs and sex. The body of Jason Shephard, a 23-year-old intern with the South Dakota scoreboard manufacturer Daktronics, was found in the basement of William Smithson's Thornbury Township home on Sept. 21, 2006. Prosecutors said Smithson, 43, had drugged Shephard, and strangled the young man from Cavalier, N.D., after Shephard fought off Smithson's sexual advances. Covington first told police that he was not at Smithson's house on Sept. 18, but later changed his story. He invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in the murder trial.

Can anyone tell me what I can add to Trip2night to make it taste better? It works good, but my girlfriend does not like to taste. The company says it is sugar free; yeah I believe them. LoL. I personally do not care about taste because I am used to it from back in the day with the renutrient. P.S. she can not use sugar because she is not the anabolic diet
