Reporting from Washington — The billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch no longer sit outside Washington's political establishment, isolated by their uncompromising conservatism. Instead, they are now at the center of Republican power, a change most evident in the new makeup of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Wichita-based Koch Industries and its employees formed the largest single oil and gas donor to members of the panel, ahead of giants like Exxon Mobil, contributing $279,500 to 22 of the committee's 31 Republicans, and $32,000 to five Democrats.
Koch brothers: A Feb. 6 Section A article about the political influence of billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch said that Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), who represents the home district of their company Koch Industries, launched an aerospace company with investment help from a Koch subsidiary. The Koch investment occurred in 1998, not at the time of the company's launch in 1996. Also, Pompeo, who was elected in November, sold his interest in the firm in 2005, not last year as The Times reported. —

Also, in response to something else here: agree with PeterG, from what I know, there is no evidence that Tonya orchestrated that event. She admitted to knowing about it after the fact, but i would not call that cheating. and I am sympathetic when I consider the situation she was in.

Armed robbery at rural store (From The Northern Echo)

Police appeal after shop raided
5:14pm Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in News By Catherine Priestley, Chief Reporter (Sedgefield)
DETECTIVES are appealing for information about a terrifying armed robbery in which four men raided a rural store.
Officers were called to the Spar in Wolsingham, County Durham, just before 8pm on New Year's Day following reports of a robbery.
Four men, three of whom were carrying weapons - a knife, an axe and a baseball bat - entered the shop in Market Place and removed money from the tills. It is believed they then fled the scene in a silver car.
Two members of staff, a 21-year-old man and a 49-year-old woman, along with three customers who were in the store at the time were uninjured but said to be shaken by the incident.
Det Sgt Darren Phillips, of Crook CID, said: "Fortunately no-one was injured during the robbery, however this was an extremely distressing incident for the staff and customers who were in the store at the time, and it has left them very shaken.
"The suspects were wearing balaclavas and are believed to be aged in their late teens.
"We believe they fled the scene in a silver car, which headed from Wolsingham in the Tow Law direction."
Durham County Councillor for Weardale, John Shuttleworth, said people were shocked to learn of such a terrifying crime at a village shop.
Coun Shuttlworth said: "It is quite concerning to hear of something like this happening in the Dale.
"We don't want and won't have people doing this, if need be more police will have to be on the beat.
"These people have to be hounded out and put in prison.
"I think people need to be vigilant, in the current economic times and with the turn of the year there are some desperate people who will do bad things."
Det Sgt Phillips urged anyone who witnesses something that could assist police with their enquiries to contact Durham police on 101, and ask for Crook CID, or to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555-111.

If you thought space was tight on your last flight, wait until you see the latest "ultra high density" SkyRider seating designed by Italian company AvionInteriors.
The seats have passengers nearly standing upright, but tucked back into shallow, angled "saddle-type" seats. They take up 25 percent less room than traditional seating, meaning airlines can pack more seats--and more people--onto planes. As a result, passengers will have just seven inches of space between their face and the back of the seat in front of them.
The airlines promise the extra seating will help them cut costs, which will allow them to pass savings on to customers. How low would a ticket price have to be for you to sign on with an airline using the SkyRiders?

---- — GLOUCESTER — One driver was transported to Addison Gilbert Hospital for treatment after a three-vehicle crash on Bass Avenue Saturday about 9 a.m. that police are continuing to investigate.
Firefighters said Monday that they did not know the severity of that person's injuries or if that driver remained hospitalized Monday.
The crash, which occurred in the area of 78 Bass Ave., began as a head-on collision between two vehicles, one that was on the wrong side of the roadway, according to firefighters. A third vehicle, which had been traveling behind one of the other two, struck that vehicle as a result of the first collision, firefighters said. All three vehicles were towed from the scene, according to firefighters.
Charges will likely result from the pending police investigation, Police Chief Leonard Campanello.
Food burnt in a microwave caused a smoke detector to sound, drawing firefighters and police to a 7 Chestnut St. apartment Sunday about 1:34 a.m., according to Gloucester firefighters. Police said that a "highly intoxicated" resident was then transported to Addison Gilbert Hospital for treatment.
Police arrested Scott D. Stanton, 31, of Echo Street on a warrant out of Gloucester District Court after stopping his vehicle on Bass Avenue Sunday about 1:16 a.m., according to police. An officer arrested Stanton, then issued a citation to the vehicle's owner for defective registration plate lights that caused police to stop the vehicle, according to police.
A Reservoir Road man reported his truck missing Sunday about 3:38 a.m., after he had left it parked in front of his home between 8 p.m. and midnight the previous night. Police entered information about the 2007 Ford F150 truck with tool racks on the back into the police information system.
Michael Marzan, 24, of Chestnut Street was arrested on charges of domestic assault and battery Sunday about 11:56 a.m., after he was accused of grabbing a 53-year-old woman by the arm and throwing her onto a bed, leaving a red mark on her arm.
A 25-year-old Lynn man was arrested on Granite Street Sunday about 1:14 p.m., after police stopped his vehicle and found the man, Carmen Gomez, was unlicensed. Tally's towed the vehicle.
A 51-year-old homeless man was arrested in Beverly and turned over to Gloucester police Sunday about 9:57 p.m., according to police. The man, James E. Britton, had been wanted by Gloucester police for a domestic assault that occurred earlier in the day Sunday, police said.
A 62-year-old Hamilton man was arrested on Eastern Avenue on charges of speeding and of driving with a suspended license Saturday about 6:34 p.m., according to police.
Police said that Christopher G. Bruce was driving 65 miles per hour on the Route 128 North extension, north of Blackburn Circle before he was stopped. Police said Bruce provided a Pennsylvania license that was suspended, and a check showed his Massachusetts license is expired. Tally's towed the vehicle.
Christopher J. Mineo, 36, of Ocean Avenue, was arrested on a charge of driving with a suspended license, after police recognized him as a person with a suspended license, while he was exiting his vehicle on Bass Avenue Saturday about 12:56 a.m., according to police. Mineo's friend was able to drive the vehicle home for him, police said.
Police arrested a 44-year-old Middle Street man on charges of disturbing the peace and then resisting arrest, after responding to a call about a man yelling and throwing furniture around in the common area of the Middle Street apartment building.
On arrival, police found Matthew C. Ciaramitaro had flipped a coffee table. Officers told him to fix the table and then go to his personal apartment. Ciaramitaro agreed to fix the table, but then refused to leave the common area, sitting down, police said.
Police began to arrest the man, and said he became aggressive, forcing two officers to restrain him. Once in the cruiser, Ciaramitaro allegedly began smashing his head into the cruiser cage, spitting and yelling, police said.
Police arrested Christopher R. Gillon of Lands End Lane on charges of speeding and driving with a suspended license Saturday about 1:42 a.m., according to police. Police stopped Gillon, 54, for driving 80 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone between Grant Circle and Blackburn Circle, then found his license had also been suspended, according to police.
Ronald D. Frazier, 21, of Centennial Avenue was arrested on a warrant, after police saw the man walking on Washington Street Saturday about 2:17 p.m. and recognized him as a wanting person, police said.
Police freed a child who was stuck in a small space behind a ladder in a play lighthouse at the Stage Fort Park playground Saturday about 1:59 p.m.
Police lifted the youngster and pulled him out between the ladder rungs, according to police.
Paramedics from the Fire Department checked the checked, and found he was OK to continue playing, police said.

Maryville College observes Constitution Day Sept. 17
Sept.10, 2012
Contact: Chloe Kennedy, News and New Media Writer
865.981.8209; firstname.lastname@example.com
What is the main topic of Article I of the U.S. Constitution? Where does the Bill of Rights appear? What is a letter of marque and reprisal and what does it have to do with the Constitution?
On Mon., Sept. 17, members of the Maryville College community will attempt to answer those questions and more during "Know Your Constitution," a fun and educational quiz game.
The event, which starts at noon in the Samuel Tyndale Wilson Center for Campus Ministry (CCM), is part of Maryville College's observance of the 225th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution.
The event is free and open to the Maryville College community and the public.
"We'll read together through the Preamble and then try to better understand the rest of the text by engaging the document through this game show format," said Dr. Doug Sofer, associate professor of history at Maryville College. Sofer is co-hosting the event, along with Dr. Mark O'Gorman, associate professor of political science at Maryville College. "We've tried to put together some questions that will not only test people's general knowledge of the Constitution but get them to think a little more deliberately about the implications of these founding principles of our republic."
All participants and spectators will receive a free copy of the Constitution, and top-scoring participants will earn gift cards to the college bookstore.
In 2005, Congress passed legislation declaring that "each educational institution that receives federal funds for a fiscal year shall hold an educational program on the United States Constitution on September 17 of such year for the students served by the educational institution."
The Constitution Day celebration became an annual event at Maryville College and colleges and universities across the country in 2005.
Sofer explained how Constitution Day is an opportunity for people to understand the historical significance of the nation's most important document.
"A lot of people talk about the Constitution – what it means, the intentions of its authors, how it should properly be applied, and so on," Sofer said. "Fewer people take the time to really read through the document and to try to understand its historical context. That's one of the things I'd like to see happen as a consequence of Constitution Day."

Two Riverside County supervisors with opposing positions on a proposed mine near Temecula that's now off the table stuck to their viewpoints today, with one saying his colleagues' actions have made any issue "fair game," including a shelved jail project near Palm Springs that he believes should be resurrected.
"The rules of engagement have changed on the Board of Supervisors," Supervisor Jeff Stone told City News Service. "I'm going to play by the new rules that have been set unless the board wants to come together and return to the way we used to do things and respect district boundaries."
Stone and Supervisor Bob Buster have, since May, been the minority votes against the 414-acre Liberty Quarry. Watsonville-based Granite Construction had proposed establishing the quarry on an escarpment off of Interstate 15 and Rainbow Canyon Road, just south of Temecula, in what serves as the southern gateway to Riverside County and the Temecula Wine Country.
The mine was opposed by an overwhelming majority of Temecula Valley residents, who pointed to potential environmental damage, air quality depletion and impact on the wine country image.
The seven-year battle to resolve whether the quarry would go ahead or be stopped in its tracks ended today with the announcement that the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians had bought the site from Granite.
"I couldn't have asked for a better Thanksgiving greeting," said Stone, whose third district encompasses Temecula. "This has been a roller-coaster ride for all of us, and now we finally have closure to this issue."
Supervisor John Benoit, whose fourth district covers the Coachella Valley, also greeted word of the land deal warmly.
"I praise both Granite ... and the tribe today for reaching a mutually beneficial agreement," the supervisor said.
Benoit led the effort to bring Liberty Quarry to fruition, triggering friction between him and Stone, who questioned the motivation for his colleague's unshakable support for a project almost two hours driving time from Palm Springs.
Benoit, who referred to Granite as a "friend" to the Coachella Valley, insisted he was only interested in having a mine in the southwestern corner of the county to increase the local supply of construction-grade aggregate, including asphalt and gravel. The former state lawmaker said a new quarry would mean fewer gravel trucks lumbering across the county, stressing roads and adding to vehicular pollution.
"The problem remains that we still have a looming shortage of aggregate in southwestern Riverside County," he said. "Trucks travel excessive long distances through our county to send aggregate to this region and beyond ... With Pechanga's assistance, Granite can hopefully find a new site and begin preparation for a new quarry that is much needed in the region."
Stone said the mine's downsides far outweighed any potential advantages and felt certain the "bogus" claims in the Liberty Quarry environmental impact report would have sealed the project's fate in court. The city of Temecula filed a lawsuit challenging the board's certification of the EIR in May and another suit seeking to undo its 3-2 decision last month to allow fast- tracking of proposed mines.
"Granite would have been taking its chances with a weak EIR," Stone said. "The company could have been on the hook for millions of dollars in legal fees. Now it's walking away with money in its pocket."
The Pechanga tribe will be forking over $3 million for the quarry site.
Stone told CNS the majority of his colleagues' were "foolish" to cast aside the long-established but unwritten rule of letting the supervisor in whose district a project will be located take the lead in determining whether it should move ahead.
"Now it's fair game for any supervisor to go into another supervisor's district and decide a project's worth," Stone said. "Everybody can buy into it."
He said the previously scuttled Hub Jail in Whitewater will be on his list of projects to reconsider. Benoit and Supervisor Marion Ashley, citing high costs, succeeded last year in gaining unanimous board support to table the proposed 5,000-bed facility, which proponents argue would relieve overcrowding in local jails.
Coachella Valley tourism and hospitality groups say the jail -- which would be visible from Interstate 10 on the eastern approach to Palm Springs -- would mar the area's image and hurt business.
"This thing would be 10 miles away from Palm Springs, It wouldn't impact tourism," Stone said. "I will continue to advocate for it."

I help people communicate data clearly with graphs.
Newspapers are expected to check facts and report accurately. Why, then, should they not also be expected to check their charts and graphs and ensure that they are accurate. Figure 1 appears on page 13 of the February 4, 2013 issue of NJBIZ.
My measurements show that the green square is about 9% of the total square and the blue area is about 91%. Let's demand more from our news sources.
This is the classic area vs. length mistake (.3 * .3 = .09, or 9%). People don't think about the effect of adding a dimension to the graph and what changes need to be made.

Getting Started With Google AdWords Remarketing In 2014
Today I presented at On The Edge Bristol on the subject of Remarketing in 2014. A lot has changed with AdWords in recent years, especially the moving focus away from keywords and towards marketing to specific people and audiences. Below I've compiled all you need to know to get started with Remarketing and why it's a key part of any paid search strategy.
Handy Strategies for Using Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs)
Imagine if you could tailor your search campaigns to bid more (or less) for people who have already visited a particular page on your website? Or only target search campaigns to users who have already visited your site and who are searching with the keywords you are targeting? Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSAs) make this possible.
A Full Guide to Product Listing Ads
If you're an ecommerce retailer and you aren't already using Product Listing Ads, now is the time to start! Advertisers increased spend on PLAs by almost 300% in 2013, and this growth is not set to slow down any time soon!
AdWords Audience Targeting Tips
When Google launched AdWords Enhanced Campaigns they gave us a range of new ways to target users by device, time and location. In fact, their new targeting features place less emphasis on the keyword and more focus on the audience.

If you aren't already using scripts on your AdWords account, you probably should be. Not only could they save you a wedge of time, increase accuracy and provide an easy way to create reports, they can be tailored to report on almost any aspect of your AdWords account.
How SEO And PPC Can Complement Each Other
Although they may seem like mortal enemies SEO and PPC can actually complement each other in many ways. For example those working on SEO can use AdWords to gain valuable keyword data, whilst those with PPC can use SEO traffic to build up credible remarketing lists. And that's just for starters.
AdWords Quality Score Types And How To Improve Them
If there was ever a time to optimise for AdWords Quality Score, this is it! For above average Quality Score on keywords, CPC savings have increased from 66% in 2009, to a whopping 200%.

---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Bill and Deborah Shaw expect to return next week to the work they love — helping impoverished Filipinos, while capturing their stories in words and pictures.
The Shaws leave Monday for Tacloban, a coastal city devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. They'll work with Kids International Ministries to aid victims in urgent need of food, water and medical aid.
Bill said he doesn't know exactly what his role will be, but he's had a long relationship with Jeff Long, who heads up the nonprofit.
"Jeff works with desperately poor people," Bill said. "We've worked together over the years, so he knows he can can trust me."
Bill said he will likely organize the effort's logistics and financial reserves, perhaps deciding on how money donated to KIM will be spent.
"I don't know. Maybe we'll be putting a building up or tearing one down or cooking food," said Shaw, an electrical contractor.
Deborah Shaw said she'll also take pictures to serve as a "visual voice for the people." Her photos and Bill's written accounts will go on the KIM website.
"We make a great team, and it's a blessing we'll be able to do that," she said.
KIM is now flying and driving in relief supplies, including 300,000 meals and roughly 18 on-the-ground workers. Its aim is to provide shelter from six months to a year.The team also includes government social workers, who'll focus on protecting vulnerable women and youth from being coerced into the sex trafficking industry, Bill said.
The Shaws first worked for KIM in 2002 for two years, and then returned to the Philippines in 2007 to create Urban Opportunities for Change. The nonprofit publishes magazines for homeless folks to sell for survival money. They also recruited homeless men and women to play for the Homeless World Cup Team Philippines.
The Shaws were living in Manila's outskirts when Typhoon Ondoy hit in September 2009. They were sitting in their masonry home at the time, basking in the country's celebration of the homeless soccer team's success in Italy, as rain beat against their door.
"Around 12 o'clock, the river, 100 feet away, rose 20 feet in 30 minutes. Homes were washed away instantly. It submerged one whole shopping mall. It was terrible. But it didn't kill like this storm killed," Bill said.
The couple portrayed stories of the typhoon victims in their magazine. Most still haven't recovered, Bill said.
Shaw said the couple's work was fueled by faith, and supported, in part, by Grace Episcopal Church and the Community Reformed Church in Charlevoix.
He urged donations to KIM, which has "no bureaucracy, no red tape."
"One hundred percent of the money goes to the Filipinos," he said.

The BBA' s Summer Jobs Program has officially kicked off thanks to a sendoff from Boston Mayor Marty Walsh. Follow our students progress on our public service blog, Beyond the Billable, here.

New York Times Supreme Court Correspondent Adam Liptak will keynote 2014 Annual Meeting Luncheon on September 12th. Learn More.
Mirna Diaz (Diaz Law Group) spoke with the Summer Jobs interns and LRS intern about family law during an LRS training session.
The two Boston public high school students interning in at the BBA's 16 Beacon Street headquarters through the BBA Summer Jobs Program have been in high demand this summer. In between their long list of projects, office duties, enrichment seminars, and field trips, Alejandra and Harmoun have also been receiving legal lessons from members of the BBA Lawyer Referral Service on various areas of law.
Beyond the Billable checked in with Alejandra and Harmoun to hear more about the trainings. Here's what they had to say:
"I honestly loved all of them because I learned so many new things that I've never heard of. I feel grateful because I am going to leave this internship having a lot of knowledge about law, especially the family law one and the public benefits one. I found a little bit of my passion in these trainings."- Alejandra Bautista, rising junior at Boston Community Leadership Academy
"All of the LRS trainings were extremely helpful. I learned a variety of different laws that I have never heard of before. I also had the pleasure to meet different attorneys from local law firms. The LRS trainings gave me a better understanding of different areas of law and the type of law I would like to pursue as a career. My favorite training was on immigration law. I emigrated from another country and I would like to help other immigrants because I think they need to have a second chance." – Harmoun Taib, rising senior at East Boston High School
Law students and new attorneys learned about legal service careers at last week's Career Series Lunch.
Last Thursday, new lawyers and law students gathered at 16 Beacon to get the inside scoop on what it's really like to work in legal services as part of the BBA's Summer Career Series. Attendees gained insight from attorneys of diverse backgrounds with years of legal services experience, asked questions about the profession, and learned tips on how to pursue a career in legal services. Panelists also recommended pursuing volunteer and pro bono opportunities at various organizations as a means of identifying areas of law they are interested in pursuing professionally.
The all-star lineup of panelists includes:
After the luncheon, Beyond the Billable checked in with BC Law student Caryn Sigurdson about the panelist discussion and her interest in legal services. Here's what she had to say:
"The Legal Services panel for the Summer Career Series was informative and helpful. I have always considered working in legal services, but didn't really have an idea of what that meant. Now I'm convinced that it is something I want to do at some point in my career. I find it frustrating that everything in law school and at networking events focuses on firms, and everyone assumes that working at a large firm is your life's goal, so it is nice to have an opportunity to meet with other public interest-minded people whose passions are to help those in need."
Interested in attending a Career Series lunch? Check out the final lunch called "What's it REALLY Like Being a Real Estate Attorney?" tomorrow at 12:30 pm. Stay tuned for more career series programs in the fall!

Brush fires along I-93 in Wilmington and surrounding towns have traffic snarled as of late Monday afternoon.
Reports indicated that there are currently brush fires in Medford in the Middlesex Fells, in Stoneham northward along Route 93 and another in Woburn on Route 93 at the Commerce Way.
Wilmington Deputy Fire Chief John Brown said there were multiple small brush fires in Wilmington at the Route 129 exit.
Travelers can expect delays. According to one Wilmington Patch Facebook follower, "Traffic on I-93 South goes back at Least to Medford from Wilmington."
Dave Procopio of the Massachusetts State Police Media Relations Unit told Patch police have closed the right lane on Route 93 North to allow Woburn and Reading firefighters access to perform firefighting operations.
Procopio said the lane should be re-opened by about 4:30 p.m., but said that because rush hour is approaching there will be 'residual back-ups."
At the current time, Procopio said the source of the brush fires is unknown.
Brown said as of about 4 p.m. that there were six trucks working along the highway to put out the flames. After putting out the fires in Wilmington, the town's crews moved down the highway to assist other towns.
"That's exactly what it is, the dry conditions," said Brown. "A little bit of a breeze and it takes off like crazy because the grass is so dry."

Some folks see them as creepy things with webbed wings, pointy teeth and sharp claws. What's worse is that they have furry bodies of seemingly unkempt hair.
However, to the informed they are critically-important flying mammals who help to keep our natural ecology in balance. Without bats, the bugs of summer would be unbearable and the impact of pests on agriculture would be immeasurable. The really sad part of the bat story is that they're dying by the millions. Seven million, to date, to be exact.
For the child who doesn't want to left inside this summer, partnering with the Pennsylvania Game Commission's biologists with bat monitoring efforts might be a perfect activity as we move through these "dog days" of summer.
The idea behind this effort is to collect bat maternity colony data for the remainder of the summer. This monitoring is important because it will help bat biologists to better understand the mortalities caused by White-Nose Syndrome.
According to game commission wildlife biologist Nate Zalik, "White-Nose Syndrome primarily kills during the winter, but the true impact of this dreaded disease on Pennsylvania's bat populations cannot be determined using estimates from winter hibernacula alone." He added that, "Pennsylvanians of all ages can help us to more fully gauge the impact of this syndrome on bats by hosting a bat count this summer."
To obtain a bat count form and to learn more about our friendly, local creatures of the night, please visit the game commission's website at: www.pgc.state.pa.us. Once you're on the web page, move your cursor over "Wildlife" and scroll to "Pennsylvania Bats" under the "Wild Mammals" section.
You'll be able to access lots of interesting information that will guide you through the steps of timing your count, conducting the survey and submitting their findings to the game commission. A bat count would be a good family activity. Certainly Scout groups, 4-H clubs, environmental and sportsmen's organizations are all encouraged to participate in a surveying effort.

The Associated Press
ON THE GULF OF MEXICO — Scientists from several universities are working to learn whether a gas well that blew wild last week off the Louisiana coast has polluted the Gulf of Mexico.
Joseph Montoya, a Georgia Tech biology professor, was leading a research project on a vessel near the site of the 2010 BP oil spill when the gas well, owned by Houston-based Walter Oil & Gas Corp., suffered a blowout on July 23 and later caught fire. All 44 people aboard the Hercules 265 rig working at the site in 154 feet of water were evacuated safely. The rig is owned by Hercules Offshore Inc., also based in Houston.
The well spewed gas and small amounts of oil that produced occasional light sheens on the Gulf surface. Late Wednesday, the well choked itself off. Authorities believe sand and sediments blocked the flow of gas and the fire that damaged the rig burned itself out.
The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said Monday that its Gulf of Mexico Regional Director, Lars Herbst, was organizing a panel investigation to determine the cause of the accident.
"The panel will be led by a BSEE Gulf of Mexico Region engineer and membership includes BSEE investigators and engineers from both the Gulf Region and Headquarters," the agency said in a news release. BSEE will also work with the coast guard to find the cause of the blowout, determine whether any safety violations were involved and make recommendations to prevent future blowouts.
Meanwhile, Montoya and the team of academics hoped to find any hints of environmental damage.
"We organized a rapid-response cruise to get some of our scientists out here," Montoya said Saturday while near the Hercules rig.
A 10-member crew used buckets, hoses and canisters to collect water samples to measure levels of methane gas, radon gas, bacterial abundance and activity, among other things. The Coast Guard wouldn't let their boat closer than 5 miles to the rig.
They also released surface floats that will drift with the current, tracking the likely path of any contamination from the damaged rig. The "drifters" have global positioning devices and transmitters.
As the researchers worked in choppy Gulf waters, federal and private vessels bustled around the Hercules rig, about 55 miles southwest of Grand Isle, La.
Federal officials said natural gas detectors and high-capacity water hoses were being installed on the rig, while another rig was readied to drill a relief well for a permanent plug.
The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said it approved Walter Oil's permit to drill the well, and crews were preparing the Rowan EXL-3 rig for drilling. Once the drill gets into the original pipe, drilling mud and then cement will be pumped in as a permanent seal.
Because the well was natural gas, not oil, experts said the pollution threats were far less than those posed by some previous accidents. BP's Macondo well, which blew wild in April 2010, lost an estimated 200 million gallons of crude oil as well as natural gas. It fouled marshes and beaches across four states before being capped.

Sucker punch at Boise ends LeGarrette "Cheap Shot" Blount's season
EUGENE, Ore. -- A day after Oregon's college football season opened, it ended for running back LeGarrette Blount.
Blount was suspended for all remaining games on Friday for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the jaw following the 16th-ranked Ducks' 19-8 loss to the 14th-ranked Broncos the night before.
Because he is a senior, Blount's playing days in Eugene are over.
Oregon's first-year coach, Chip Kelly, told a sobbing Blount about his decision after reviewing tape of the altercation.
Celebrating the victory on the Broncos' trademark blue turf, Hout yelled in Blount's face and tapped him on the shoulder pad. Before Boise State coach Chris Petersen could pull Hout away, Blount landed a right to Hout's jaw, knocking him to his knees.
Blount also had to be restrained by police from fans heckling him on the way to the locker room.
Later he apologized saying, "It was just something that I shouldn't have done. I lost my head."
Still, Kelly was taken aback when he saw the punch on tape.
"That's not what we're all about. That's not what we coach. That's not what we stand for and it's unacceptable," he said.
Blount's suspension includes bowl games. He will remain on scholarship, however, and will continue to practice with the team.
"He is taking this very hard," Kelly said, choking up. "He understands he made a mistake and he has to pay for the mistake. But we're not going to throw LeGarrette Blount out on the street."
Kelly said he hoped Blount's ultimate legacy "won't be a YouTube clip of what happened to him on September 3rd in Boise, Idaho."
Hout won't be suspended for taunting Blount. Boise State spokesman Max Corbet told The Associated Press in an e-mail that Petersen planned to spend time with Hout this week to help him learn from what happened.
Mike Bellotti, who stepped aside as head coach to become Oregon's athletic director this summer, said the Pac-10 was consulted about the punishment and supported Oregon's decision.
Bellotti was with Kelly when Blount was told of the suspension and described the running back's reaction as dismay.
"It was a very difficult decision and one I don't think he was expecting, but he was aware there was a certain amount of gravity to the situation," Bellotti said.
Oregon president Richard Lariviere called Blount's behavior "reprehensible."
"We do not and will not tolerate the actions that were taken by our player. Oregon's loyal fans expect and deserve better," Lariviere said in a statement.
Blount, a 6-foot-2, 240-pound transfer from East Mississippi CC, rushed for 1,002 yards and a school-record 17 touchdowns last season.
On Thursday night, he had eight carries for a loss of five yards.
In February, Blount was suspended indefinitely from the team for "failure to fulfill team obligations." Bellotti did not share details, but Blount reportedly missed offseason team meetings.
He was reinstated before spring practice.
Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was at the game and saw the punch.
"We commend the University of Oregon and its leadership for taking swift and decisive action in response to this incident," Scott said in a statement. "The Pac-10 strongly emphasizes sportsmanship and fair play in all its athletic competitions and expects high standards of sportsmanship from all participants, including student-athletes. In this case, those standards were not met and the university has taken appropriate disciplinary actions."
The NCAA also weighed in.
"Under no circumstance is fighting acceptable. ... Sportsmanship is everyone's responsibility, including student-athletes, coaches, officials, institutions and fans," NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson said in a statement.
Players from both sides, Blount included, met at midfield for a pregame handshake Thursday, the result of a sportsmanship initiative developed for this weekend's games by the American Football Coaches Association and the NCAA. Grant Teaff, the AFCA's executive director, said Friday the incident would not dampen the weekend.
"This case points out that we still need to have a commitment to sportsmanship and respect," Teaff told ESPN's Joe Schad. "It was sad as I watched [the events in Boise], but the good news is nobody joined in. That would have been a brawl back in the day. This was one player who was frustrated and infuriated and lost control."
He deserved to get suspended for the year..............he is lucky the university is still honoring his scholarship.Swamp Mafia

I watched that tape over and over, each time not one Boise player jumped on and kicked the hell out of Blount. Thanks for standing by and doing jack shit buddies.

Fair Board Receives Letter Of Resignation
October 30, 2003
Fair Board Receives Letter Of Resignation
It's official – the Scotland County Speedway is looking for a new promoter. The Scotland County Fair Board met Friday, October 24 to receive the certified letter from racetrack promoter Terry Hoenig announcing that he will not return to SCS in 2004. Word had spread about the decision last week after there was a report on the Lee County Speedway website.
"With regret I am writing this letter to inform the board of my decision about returning to promote the races at the Scotland County Fairgrounds," the letter stated. "As of October 14, 2003, I am resigning as promoter and declining the opportunity to renew a contract with the Scotland County Fair Board for the 2004 racing season."
According to board members, Hoenig's letter indicated his choice not to return was a business decision. The letter expressed the promoter's appreciation for all the support shown to the track by volunteers, sponsors and simply through the promotion of the racing sport in the Memphis area.
"We have met many great people and the crew did an excellent job at the track," his letter stated. "I want the board to know that there are no hard feelings and that I wish (the fair board) the best of luck in the future."
Fair board members reiterated those sentiments toward Hoenig, wishing him success in his future endeavors.

Although, in the end, the film wound up an engaging and surprisingly touching entertainment, and it's visually spellbinding throughout, the first half hour of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby felt, to me, exactly like the first half hours of all Baz Luhrmann movies: annoying as hell.

American Chop Suey! (Serves 4)
Only hours to go until we hear the election results and I, for one, am looking forward to the end of the campaigns and never-ending attack advertisements.
I was a political science major in college and have a good understanding of the reasons underlying peoples' voting choices. So I was not surprised by a recent article in a publication of Science Daily (Oct. 18, 2012) which wrote "… The 2012 presidential campaign has provided endless fodder for social media, water cooler conversation and "Saturday Night Live" spoofs. But, in the end, Americans going to the polls generally pull the lever based on one thing: their gut feelings [emphasis added], says presidential politics expert Larry Butler of Rowan University."
To my mind, "gut" means stomach, and satisfying it at this time of year with holidays around the corner, means comfort food right now that is easy to prepare. With all the politics, I finally just thought "suey" with all of the political rhetoric, and this easy, easy, easy dish came to mind as a simple meal to tide us over until the holiday preps go to full-blown mode and take over every available waking moment.
It's a "go-to" dish that was always called "American Chop Suey" as I grew up, but most people probably know it as "goulash," which may also be an appropriate name in this political frenzy!!! I'm sure that everyone has personal variations but this is my fave and is good, made in advance, with no oven involved!
Ingredients (and Asides)
1.5 lb. hamburger (I like 87 percent lean, but often use whatever is on sale, but rarely under 85 percent fat)
1/2 chopped onion (I like Vidalias or reds because they are a little sweeter)
1 chopped green pepper (or 2, if you like)
There are distinctions in the cooking world about chopping and mincing. But just cut the onion and pepper according to how big you want the pieces in your final dish. Mine are about a half-inch chop…or whatever!
Oil to coat your skillet
2 cloves chopped garlic (or ideally, roasted garlic to taste…take a whole head and remove the outside paper and cut in half. Place it in some foil and drizzle with oil and wrap up and cook for about 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees. A toaster oven is great for this! When soft, and cooled a bit, squeeze the cloves from the remaining skins. This can all be done ahead or you can skip it and just use raw garlic for a stronger taste.)
Most of a 1 lb. box of dried short pasta of your choice (I grew up with macaroni but now prefer either penne rigate or farfalle)
A couple cans of Campbell's tomato soup
Some milk (told you this is easy!) or a tomato sauce of your choice
(I developed my own tomato sauce which involves a lot of time and reductions but that's a different story for a different day!)
Parsley (opt)
Basil (opt)
Dried herbs (opt)
Parmesan cheese (the real stuff! Once you buy some, you'll forget the cost because it's just so good!)
Heat oil in your skillet and add the green pepper and let it soften and then add the onion and let it "sweat" until also softened.
Add the garlic, if raw, and cook with the onions and peppers but be sure to watch that it doesn't burn and become bitter.
When cooked, drain on a paper towel-lined sieve to reduce fat, and put aside.
Cook the hamburger until cooked through and drain also. Set aside.
Cook your preferred pasta according to box directions and drain. Do not rinse.
Combine the pasta, hamburger, garlic (either the sauteed or roasted), onions, and peppers in your skillet and add the tomato soup or your favorite tomato/marinara sauce and heat up. Add fresh herbs (if you have them) or dried herbs of your choice, and top with cheese.
Enjoy! …and remember to vote!

If all goes as planned, Plainview's professional-grade turf athletic field will be ready for its home football opener.
And if Plainview chose to, some of its games could be played under the lights.
Those were the clear messages delivered Wednesday night at a public meeting with school officials and representatives of the Town of Oyster Bay. It was news that had members of the school board, coaches and sports boosters beaming.
"This represents the culmination of a lot of hard work on the part of a lot of people," said Hal Mayer, the town's environmental consultant.
Michael Spinelli, the town's architect for this project, described the work as "straight forward."
Essentially, the existing playing field at Plainview JFK will be excavated to the required depth. Drainage and other devices will be installed. Then, a state-of-the-art artificial turf will be placed on top. The existing track surface and stands will remain as they are, at least for now.
The town has also agreed to include field lighting as part of the project, Mayer said. Beams from the modern lighting poles are directed at the field and won't flood the neighborhood with light, school officials said.
The new playing surface will be installed beginning sometime in late May and take about three months to complete, Mayer said. If the summer weather cooperates, the field should be ready to play on in September, Mayer said.
It won't only be used for football. The new field will be home to high school and area league team sports including lacrosse and soccer for both boys and girls.
"This is an absolutely top of the line product," Spinelli said of the field surface. "It's the same as the pro's use."
The field covering itself has a lifespan of 10-15 years. The subterranean structure that holds it would last much longer.

Using long-term bonds, the town has agreed to finance the new field in Plainview as it has in other nearby communities, including Bethpage. The cost figures were still not finalized Wednesday night, Mayer said.
Both the town and the school district get value out of the new field, a legal requirement on such projects, Mayer said.
The bargain that has yet to be finalized allows Plainview schools to use the field during typical school hours. Other community organizations, including local football, soccer and lacrosse leagues, will be able to book time on the field around the school schedule.
A similar arrangement is in place with other town sports facilities and is, in fact, in place now with Plainview's existing natural grass playing fields, officials said.
