Special Alerts
Denison State Bank, Holton, Kansas, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit checks bearing the institution's routing number and fictitious bank names are in circulation.
The counterfeit items display the routing number 101108034, which is assigned to Denison State Bank. However, the counterfeit items are dissimilar to authentic checks. The counterfeit items include an "NB" logo and the name "North Canton Bank" or "North Oak Bank" above the words "Newton, Texas," centered at the top. The words "CASHIER'S CHECK" are printed vertically along the left side of the counterfeit items.
Authentic Denison State Bank checks display the words "BANK MONEY ORDER" directly above "CASHIER'S CHECK" in the lower-left corner. Authentic checks include the bank's logo next to the bank's name, four branch locations, and the words "MEMBER FDIC" centered at the top. The statement "TWO SIGNATURES REQUIRED FOR AMOUNTS OVER $500.00" is printed above two signature lines in the lower-right corner.
Copies of a counterfeit item and an authentic check (VOID) are attached for your review. Be aware that the appearance of counterfeit items may be modified and that additional variations are possible.
Any information you have concerning this matter should be brought to the attention of:
Sarah LeDoux
Information about counterfeit items, cyber-fraud incidents and other fraudulent activity may be forwarded to the FDIC's Cyber-Fraud and Financial Crimes Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room F- 4004, Washington, D.C. 20429, or transmitted electronically to email@example.com.

Driving up State Route 18 from Maple Valley, my rear view mirrors suddenly fogged over. There was no fog outside-why did that happen?
Let me tackle this question by mentioning when I flew, I occasionally encountered a condition called 'splat icing'. That's caused by a cold aircraft flying into moisture-laden air...that then freezes on contact with the airplane. In the case mentioned, I believe the driver moved from cold air into somewhat warmer, more moist air...which may not have cooled enough to form ice on the car, but did rapidly condense into fog. There may not have been enough moist air to form widespread fog...but the very cold car was enough to 'do the trick'.

The Clinton Herald
---- — CLINTON — It wouldn't happen in the next year, but city officials are considering traffic signals in the bustling intersection of 13th Avenue North and North 11th Street.
During the City Services Committee meeting Wednesday, City Engineer Jason Craft told committee members that new developments such as the Clinton Middle School, Village Co-op and West Heights Townhomes will cause the traffic in the area to grow 10 percent in the next two years. Paired with what is already a busy intersection for drivers and pedestrians, Craft said the intersection will need to be signalized.
"It's safe to say the traffic volumes will increase to warrant signals in the next year or two. With the added pedestrian traffic, I think it's time that we install a signal," he said.
Coincidentally, the city recently received a petition with 363 signatures from Clinton residents requesting the city install a four-way traffic signal with walking signals at the intersection.
Because of the number of pedestrians in the area and the likelihood that the amount will only increase with the new development, Craft would also like to extend sidewalks to Ninth Avenue Northwest and to 14th Street Northwest to reach the new middle school.
Committee members agreed improving the intersection would be as much for the people on foot as for those in cars.
"The sidewalks are just as important as the signals," At-large Councilman Charlie Mulholland said.
The project carries a $300,000 price tag, which could not be funded until fiscal year 2015. If the city wanted to pursue the signalization, Craft said the project could be completed by August 2014 in time for the new middle school opening.
Craft told committee members the project should also include implementing school speed limit zones from 16th Street Northwest to Springdale Drive, a school crossing in the 1300 block of 13th Avenue North with a yellow flasher, school crossing signs and ADA accessibility considerations.
City Council members will discuss the project at their Aug. 13 meeting. The item also will go to the Capital Improvements Committee.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The Canadian dollar fell against the U.S. dollar Wednesday after Canada's central bank said it's likely to hold off on future interest-rate increases as the economy continues to slowly recover. The U.S. dollar /quotes/zigman/4867882/realtime/sampled USDCAD +0.1088% bought 99.07 Canadian cents, up 0.7%. The Bank of Canada kept the benchmark rate unchanged at 1%, as expected, but reduced its 2013 growth forecast to 2%. It had previously expected expansion of 2.3%. The central bank also expects inflation to stay below the target of 2% until the second half of 2014.

For the Times West Virginian
Robert "Bobby" Moss, who grew up in Huntington, W.Va., was an outstanding halfback on West Virginia University's 1952-53-54-55 teams.
That was the early Golden Era of football, guided by the late Art "Pappy" Lewis. The Mountaineers posted records of 7-2, 8-2, 8-1 and 8-2.
Those fantastic four seasons, in which Moss had a huge hand, triggered the start of a dominant 30-game winning streak in the Southern Conference championship competition.
Moss, 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, recalled that he was the smallest player in the WVU backfield in 1955. Quarterback Freddy Wyant weighed 205, Joe Marconi 218, and "Stubby" Krutko 215.
Moss, who now resides in Pensacola, Fla., thinks he still holds the school season record for best average per carry rushing at 8.2 yards. That was as a senior.
He had career totals of 1,403 yards rushing (7.2 yards per carry) and scored 18 touchdowns on 180 rushes. He peaked as a senior, gaining 807 yards on only 98 carries.
The former Huntington East High star, also a fine pass-catcher, is tied for seventh all-time with an 89-yard run for a touchdown vs. Marquette from scrimmage. He also ranks 12th on a non-touchdown run from scrimmage with a 64-yard run against Syracuse in 1955.
In connection with that, Jim "Shorty" Moss, Bobby's deceased younger brother, returned an interception 84 yards for a touchdown against Syracuse in 1961. That is currently tied for fifth place on WVU's all-time list.
Bobby Moss, who turned 79 last Friday (Aug. 9), was inducted into the WVU Hall of Fame in 2007. He also is on the all-time team for the period 1950-1959.
He was named to the All-Southern Conference football first team in 1955.
"We won a lot of big games and it was special," Moss said. He remembers the 16-0 upset victory at Pitt and the three consecutive wins over Penn State (a school rival).
Making that Pitt conquest most memorable is the fact it marked the first ever victory against a nationally ranked team by WVU.
While he laments a 26-7 loss to underdog Pitt because of numerous key injuries, he was pleased that they had played in WVU's first major bowl—the Sugar Bowl—on Jan. 1, 1954. They lost to Georgia Tech.
But in the 1954 season opener, West Virginia bounced back against nationally ranked South Carolina on the road, 26-6.
Moss graduated with a degree in business in 1957, then was drafted by the Cleveland Browns. But he was so battered he couldn't play pro ball.
So he joined the U.S. Navy, played football two years on the Pensacola Naval Air Station team, and wound up into a 26-year career as a Naval Airman.
He retired in 1983. Bob and wife Jacquie have been married 39 years. They met when he was serving in the military in New Zealand. They have one daughter, Nicola Simmons, who also lives in New Zealand.

If your team is playing over the lunch hour, consider taking your break at a sports bar that will surely be showing the tournament on television.
Otherwise, if your team is scheduled for a later game, consider working it out to either skip your earlier break to leave work a little early, or wait to take your break until your team hits the court.
As a last option, try to get in early on game days and be sure to schedule any meetings in the morning so you can get some actual work done before the first games tip off.
Just remember, if you take our next suggestion, keep your in-office viewing on the down low.
No. 2: Watch the games at work
If you can't get away from the office and you spend your work day staring at a computer screen, you may be able to watch the games from your desk.
Although in the past you could watch every single game for free online, that will change in 2012.
While all games airing on CBS will still be available for free on CBSSports.com, the NCAA joined with Turner Sports and CBS Sports to offer March Madness Live, which for $3.99 allows fans to watch all games live online or via an app for Apple and android devices.
March Madness Live also offers video highlights, game alerts and live radio broadcasts for every game. Cable and satellite subscribers can "authenticate" themselves to get online access without paying extra.
Returning this year will be the ever-popular "boss button," which replaces the game with a fake spreadsheet if your boss happens to walk by your desk.
The free online and mobile offering in 2011 netted more than 52 million visits during the tournament. And that boss button certainly got a workout, racking up more than 4 million clicks.
But while those numbers show you'll hardly be alone, be sure to refrain from belting out your school fight song at your desk. That's what the conference room is for.
No. 1: Get your company involved
You want to boost office morale and unite your co-workers in a common goal?
Sure, you could put your nose to the grindstone and actually get some work done, but few things bring a workplace together like a good, old-fashioned office pool.
Whether it be a co-worker's due date, Oscar predictions, a football numbers board or a tourney bracket pool, nothing has quite the same effect on an office as the chance to win bragging rights over your co-workers -- not to mention their money.
And if you organize the office pool, it will give you a good jumping off point for a campaign to allow you and your fellow employees to watch the tourney at work in the open.
While some experts claimed March Madness costs companies into the billions of dollars in lost productivity, others argue that it actually has the ability to boost morale and, in turn, productivity.

A Joliet man who police say beat and strangled his 90-year-old grandmother just one day after being released from prison has been charged with first-degree murder.
Darel C. Agerton, 38, was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon for the Nov. 30 death of Veronica R. Schick, whose unconscious body was found on the floor of her 109 Jessie St. home, according to the Will County Sheriff's Office. Agerton listed Schick's address as his residence.
Agerton, who was released from the Illinois Department of Corrections on Nov. 29 after serving 15 months for his fourth DUI conviction, told emergency responders that he awoke from a nap to find his grandmother unresponsive and laying on the floor, a sheriff's office release said.
When investigators called him in for questioning, however, Agerton apparently made statements that were inconsistent with his original story, the release said. Undisclosed physical evidence was also found at the scene.
No information on a possible motive was released.
Agerton was taken into custody Wednesday after the Will County State's Attorney's Office charged him with six counts of first-degree murder. His bail was set at $5 million; his first court appearance will be Thursday afternoon.
According to jail and prison records, Agerton has been arrested and charged four times for driving under the influence of alcohol and at least twice for driving on a revoked/suspended license.
In the last case, he was sentenced to three years in prison in 2011, but released early.

I'd put Gold and Nagasu in the same boat for No.2, they have the potential of scoring high
Zawadzki is not a contender, she can easily implode in FS, I'd have Gao and Wang ahead of her
sad to say but I think Flatt and Zhang are done

Flatt is definitely out for the rest of the season to heal some nagging injuries.
Zhang is going to need to dig deep and find some spark if she hopes to make the Worlds or 4CC team this year. She's looked absolutely dismal, which is a shame because she was fantastic at 4CCs last year.
No matter what she does from here Zhang can always be proud of her 2012 comeback. It was inspiring to watch someone climb out of the ultimate depths and even be a contender at the U.S level again. I tend to agree both Flatt and Zhang are done as factors, 110% certain for Flatt, 85% likely for Zhang. It is too bad she didnt mantain her early 2012 level of skating, as the U.S women behind Wagner are still shaky enough she might have gotten some real consideration for the #2 spot if she had (which she wasnt ever going to really get at last years Nationals no matter how well she did and how poorly others did, as we basically saw play out).
But anyway, okay, I agree with JJ. Couldn't have said it better.
I'll see how Zhang does at Nationals before writing her off for good...I almost certainly do not see her contending for a world spot though.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
i think the us best shots as of now to try and get 3 spots are Mirai and Ashley.
The bolded statements contradict each other- it can only go two ways: either they score based on what they see on the ice, OR they pick and choose favorites.I think they should just give it to whoever skates best at Nationals. No U.S lady this year should go into Nationals with any clear advantage except Wagner who deserves to be protected even if she somehow has a bad event there.
Nationals needs to be fairly judged. If Wagner slips up, penalize her appropriately. If the GP is any indication, though, she can probably afford a mistake or two anyway unless Gold skates lights out.
I think "it" means the 2nd spot.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
Remember the year that Miki got the Olympics spot because she medaled at the GPF? It does kinda make sense...
Let's see how Ashley does there, because that WILL make a difference in her Nationals PCS. But not sending the girl with the #1 score of the season for 2 seasons running and the best record of any lady internationally this season would be really hard to explain, IMO.
This is a fundamental reason why I'm against the current USFS policy of simply sending the top finishers from nationals to worlds.
When you place so much emphasis on one competition, what happens when someone who has done excellent all season long suddenly has an off-night at nationals? Whereas, if the world team didn't depend solely on nationals, there might be significantly less pressure on judges to hold up favorites (i.e. those who have skated well internationally) and more incentive to actually judge the competition fairly.

It's amazing how fast people are going to write off Caroline. Almost no one had any faith for her last season or the season before that or even two seasons before the last one and she still managed to make a great comeback late in the 2012 season. Who says she can't do that again this season?
I think stating that Wagner should be sent to worlds regardless of what happens at Nationals is just common sense. It's the system of deciding the world team at Nationals that makes "protection" necessary.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
Suppose everything was judged fairly and the results turned out like this: 1. Gold 2. Nagasu 3. Wagner. Forget odds, likelihood, etc. and just suppose this happens. If we had some flexibility, you can send Gold as the champion, and then choose 3rd place Wagner over 2nd place Nagasu, citing better placements and/or higher scores on the GP (and GPF qualification). The way it's set up now, they'd probably boost Wagner's PCS or GOE to make sure she's in second position, robbing Nagasu of a deserved silver medal all because of how she performed on the Grand Prix. Rep Scoring at its finest. When does a competition stop being a competition and become a coronation? We just saw this at NHK.

Over the past few months I have come to the realization that I'm not a very good photographer/videographer. It's more difficult than I imagined, mainly because I don't take the time to set up my shots and locations properly. I have great intentions but as soon as I hear wings ripping the morning sky or the far off call of a goose I am done! My priorities are a little off, so to speak. I like to have a shotgun in my hands instead of a camera- but I'm learning.
The following video is my initial attempt at putting together a promotional video for SoftShell Decoys. The first part of the video is a snow goose hunt filmed in a pea field with my dad Dave, brother Dan and friend/local farmer Doug. We used just 350 SoftShell snow goose decoys for the hunt. The wind was howling, steady 30-35 mph with gusts up to 45-50 mph! It was a great hunt, the video doesn't really do it justice. I tried to set up the camera behind the shooters on a tripod but the wind kept tipping it over. Most of the shots the guys took started at 15-20 yards, and with the high winds the birds would flare and rocket out of the spread in seconds- it was great fun to watch.
I think the next thing I need to do is sink some money into a decent camera, like the Sony my friend Jeremy suggested. Any other suggestions on camera/video gear would be appreciated! Thanks for watching and all the support I've already had for SoftShell Decoys.

McALESTER —
Employees at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant were among those whose expected furlough notices have been delayed for approximately two weeks while the Department of Defense studies how a new spending bill might impact planned budget cuts.
McAAP spokesman Kevin Jackson said Monday he had received no further information regarding furloughs of McAAP employees since learning of the two-week delay.
While furloughs have been expected, McAAP employees had not received the required written notice specifying when the furloughs would begin, according to Jackson.
"We still don't have a date," Jackson said around 11 a.m. Monday.
In early March, Jackson said McAAP employees knew there was a recommendation in place that they be furloughed without pay one day a week. Furloughs were expected as a result of the approximately $85 billion in defense and domestic spending cuts required as a result of sequestration action in Congress. The cuts were required by the current federal fiscal year, which expires Sept. 30, 2013 — part of $1.2 trillion in cuts required over 10 years.
While some Department of Defense furlough notices were expected to start going out last week, Congress passed legislation Thursday to provide funds to keep the government operating through the end of the federal fiscal year.
The legislation would allow a provision to allow the Department of Defense to shift funds.
District 2 U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin had expressed hope in early March that the continuing resolution to keep the government funded through September might help McAAP.
"With the continuing resolution vote, we're going to give flexibility to the military to make its own decisions," Mullin said — a reference to letting the military service chiefs decide where the cuts would cause the least harm.
"The Joint Chiefs of Staff came together and that's what they're asking for," Mullin said. At the time, the congressman had conceded it wouldn't solve the problems caused by sequestration.
"That's making the best of a very bad situation," Mullin told the News-Capital earlier this month.
The Associated Press has reported that according to planning in place last week, about 24 percent of the U.S. Army's 333,000 civilian employees would not face furloughs. Those with exemptions could include civilian employees in war zones, contractors or workers who are in facilities that fund operations through their earnings, according to the AP.

Alzheimer's can be a stressful disease for everyone involved, including caregivers and their loved ones. One thing that can heighten the stress is the wandering that can occur. Local agencies including the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office offer services to help.
Sixty percent of Alzheimer and dementia patients wander, which is the afflicted individual walking off for a reason and getting lost in the confusion.
In order to keep Alzheimer's and dementia patients safer, there are services including one offered through the sheriff's office that can be used to help keep track and return wanderers home safely.
Services offered by the Alzheimer's Association include:
- Comfort Zone utilizes a GPS unit to track wandering individuals on a map.
- Safe Return uses necklaces and bracelets, worn by the patients, that have phone number and address information printed on them.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in partnership with SafetyNet by Lo Jack has a program "to better respond to calls for service of missing adults and children with special needs who tend to wander from home," according to its website.
Participants in the sheriff's office program wear a personal transmitter, which emits a signal that helps first responders locate the individual.

The MU School of Law offers a collegial environment, reinforced by a small student body and a low faculty-student ratio. The intimacy of this setting, coupled with reasonable cost, consistently high bar passage rates, a network of alumni around the globe and access to top scholars in the legal world, make MU Law one of the best values in the nation.
Degree Programs
An outstanding faculty with award-winning teachers who rank consistently high in scholarly productivity and impact.
Students rave about the friendly staff and great study space in the MU Law Library.
Known world-wide for its Center for Dispute Resolution, the MU Law curriculum combines both traditional law school classes with an appreciation of the many dispute resolution techniques in which lawyers engage and includes a Certificate Program in the rapidly developing area of Dispute Resolution.
Mizzou law students are required to complete 89 hours of law school classes in order to graduate. Following the prescribed first year, students are required to take Constitutional Law, Evidence, Criminal Procedure and Professional Responsibility. Several Clinical and Externship programs are available to upper level students, along with skills training in trial practice, negotiation, interviewing and counseling. The curriculum couples courses traditionally tested on the Bar examination so that the law school can continue its long tradition of success not only on the Missouri, but other state's bar examination, with cross disciplinary dual degree and certificate programs in several other areas. As a result, the law school's curriculum is appealing not only to those who want to engage in the traditional practice of law, but also to those who want to use their law degree as a stepping stone into other disciplines.

Times West Virginian
If Dana Holgorsen accomplishes only one thing between the time West Virginia University's football team last took the field in Cincinnati and takes it against Pitt Panthers on the Friday after Thanksgiving at Milan Puskar Stadium, it has to be fixing what's wrong with his offensive line.
A football team without an offensive line is like a canoe without a paddle, having no way to move forward when the flow is going against you.
There are reasons to believe he may not be able to fix it, considering that it has been a season-long theme and has been the major factor keeping Holgorsen from putting together the overpowering offensive machines he has produced at Houston and Oklahoma State.
Somehow the Mountaineers were able to get enough offense to beat Cincinnati the last time out, although it must be noted it would not have done it without a defensive touchdown, and whatever offense they had was the product of the work of the Geno Smith and his receivers more than anything the offensive line was able to produce.
"None of them played good enough to win," Holgorsen admitted this week, not wanting to delve any deeper into the subject. "We'll leave it at that, but they need to get better."
In truth, it has become the ugly wart at the end of a witch's nose.
Against Cincinnati, Smith survived through five sacks … and at no time did anyone offer the alibi of them being "coverage sacks."
That alone would be a dismal statistic and enough to kill any chance at a big offensive day, but Cincinnati did it mostly by rushing just three linemen, seldom running blitz schemes.
Perhaps the Bearcats did so out of sympathy for Smith, but more because of a belief that they could get to the quarterback and have help covering the likes of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.
At the same time that they were harassing the West Virginia quarterback, they were tearing the running backs apart limb by limb.
West Virginia, a team that under Rich Rodriguez would regularly rush for 300 yards in a game, managed to rush for 32 yards in 32 carries. For those who failed Math 101, that figures out to 1.0 yards per rush.
Put another way, the Mountaineers would need 10 rushes to make a first down, and there are very few plays drawn up in a playbook for ninth down and a yard to go situations.
But here's the worst part of that. The Mountaineers actually believed they should have and could have run the ball because Cincinnati's defensive objectives were aimed toward downfield coverage.
"Probably the most discouraging thing I dealt with last Saturday was we had numbers to run the ball and we couldn't do it, which changes a whole lot of things I do offensively," Holgorsen said.
Certainly the members of the offensive line understand that things did not go well in the Cincinnati game and that they have never been dominant all season.
"It's all correctable," starting guard Tyler Rader said.
And to correct it they will go back to the A-B-Cs.
"In practice we will focus on technique, go back to the first things you learn in camp," Rader said.
Certainly, Rader said, Cincinnati was responsible for some of the problems.
"Cincinnati was good. They gave it to us. I don't think that excuses five sacks and 32 yards rushing. We have to do better than that," he said.
The five sacks were really the key issue for sacks lead to third-and-long situations or, worse yet, injured quarterbacks, and when you can only rush for 32 yards, you don't want your quarterback to be standing on the sideline on crutches.
"There is no offensive lineman that wants the quarterback to be hit," Rader admitted. "Any time Geno is hit we hate it. I just hope he still trusts us. I can't speak for him, but we're still going to do all we can to see he doesn't get hit."
The challenge is to get it right before Pitt, because the Panthers have a strong defensive line that puts a great deal of pressure on quarterbacks.
"It means we need to get better," Holgorsen said. "We sat in here and dealt with what Syracuse did against us by sending in more guys than we could block, but the opposite happened against Cincinnati. They didn't bring any pressure, and it was still challenging.
"We've got to block better. We've got to finish blocks better, or we've got to find guys to come in here that are better than the ones we've got. We love them, but we want them to get better. We're going to put them in a position to be successful, but at some point they've got to figure out a way to get it done."

The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — Maybe hangover from a disappointing double overtime region final loss Friday still lingered, but John Milledge Academy girls' head coach Natasha Gainous was surprised with Wednesday's 46-36 GISA AAA state tournament loss to Mount de Sales.
Senior Mollie Ritchie netted 22 points. No one else seemed willing to step up, according to Gainous.
JMA coughed up too many turnovers.
"We threw the ball away probably 75 percent of the time we had the ball in the first half at least," Gainous said. "Nobody wanted the ball in their hands."
Despite the mistakes, the Trojans were down just nine points at halftime.
JMA scrapped within four after the break. MDS made a run soon after that, and the Trojans never recovered.
"I had a bad feeling from the beginning," the JMA coach said. "They just didn't look ready to play."
Sophomore Kelsey Chambers did a good job attacking the basket and creating shots for teammates, but it was too little too late.
Gainous expected her team to mount a comeback win. JMA got caught without that collective fire.
"You aren't going to go into a state playoff game against a team with 12 seniors without that desire to win the game," Gainous said.
The girls' squad turned the season around after the holidays, making a solid region run to the state round. A final 10-12 record could have been better.
JMA's head coach hopes the graduating seniors learned some life lessons.
Things aren't always going to come easy.
Gainous said the team made this season enjoyable through the rough start on to the finish.
"We had some good wins leaving it all out on the court. It stinks we are going to end the season against a team I don't think is better than us," Gainous said. "It takes a lot more than people realize to make a turnaround like we did this year. I'm happy we showed some life and how good we could be."

Listening to yet another call from February 14th 2008. this time between Bernard and Bobby Ferguson. It's later in the day at 1:47PM.
"Hey Pops!" greets a cheery Bobby. "Hey!" replies Bernard. Ferguson wants to know "What's goin on?"
Bernard lays out the Book Cadillac scenario for Bobby. Trying to remember the name of George Jackson.
Bernard asks "Can he make trouble for Jim Jenkins over there? Can he run him out of there?" Bernard asks Bobby. think he is talking about Jackson.
Beeckman clarifies that George Jackson was the head of the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation which had oversight over the construction at the Book Cadillac.
More recorded conversation to listen to. 2 jurors seem to be missing transcripts.
It's a continuation of the Bernard and Bobby conversation from the same day.
Bernard says, "I would really like to run him out of town...." Think he is still talking about Jenkins.
Bobby tells him that the person he needs to talk to is "Shakib", his foreman.
Bernard explains that "John and them were taken off." He is talking about Francis and Ronco.
Shakib Deria worked on the project at one point and was an employee of FEI.
Now listening to call between Bernard and Shakib Deria on February 14th at 2:56PM, about an hour after talking to Bobby.
"I've been trying to beat off snakes," says Bernard.
He tells Deria, "My boys were hauling the trash at the Book... Arbitrarily pulled off."
Bernard says about Jkings, "I threatened him."
"I don't know if George Jackson could take care of this thing," says Bernard.
Sounds like Bernard just really wants his Capital Waste guys back on site after being pulled off.
Deria says something about getting with a guy. Umm, that doesn't sound right.
Bernard says that he has been working for 8 to 10 months to get Capital Waste at the Book Cadillac site. Also says that a Detroit business should not get kicked off by a suburban business.
"They still calling me and cussing me out," says Bernard.
1:05PM Bullotta says this is a good place to stop. Will continue with Beeckman tomorrow. Court is adjourned and will resume Thursday at 9AM.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
We have just received a glossy mailing from the NRA that brings questions to my mind. It seems to me that they, like most developers trying to sell a project, misrepresent the economics. They are probably no worse than others in that regard, but this is about our waterfront and our land, which they hold in trust.
The economic fallacy is that they do not count the many hidden costs that are passed on to us, the residents. These costs are indeed easy to hide because they are in dribs and drabs and sometimes over many years. The fact is that new housing is never an economic win for a community. If it were so, rural tax rates would be much higher than urban tax rates. New York City would be a delight of practically zero local tax.
Here are just some of those hidden costs. More traffic problems with more signs, paving, extra lanes, maintenance, traffic signals, road line painting, accidents, burning gas waiting for traffic, police work, courts to sort out accidents, higher auto insurance, lawyers fees. Increased demand for city services like city clerk's time, other City Hall services, rubbish removal, tax collection costs. Of course, school costs. Water supply costs, sewer problems, more electric, phone and cable lines and their maintenance.
While new housing is virtually always a losing proposition for a community, businesses may or may not be, depending on the traffic problems they generate, the noise, air, water and ground pollution they create (and sometimes leave behind for us to clean up), whether they get tax breaks or not, whether they create hazards and whether they create future problems, for example, by building on a a flood plain.
Anyway, it's something to think about.

Ford Explorer Gas Gauge
ebaypt Posts: 1I had the same problem and went back a few times to the garage. It happened before 36000 miles so they replaced the whole dash display and the same thing happened. Then on one of the trips back a service advisor said that the sensor gets a build up some sludge for lack of a better term, his solution which has worked every time, is to buy chevron techroline additive and put it in the tank when filling up. I do this every 15000 miles or so and have not had a problem since then.
servoman1 Posts: 1Gas gauge stop working and heard a thumping sound coming from gas tank. Took it to a local garage and found that the internal baffel in the gas tank came loose and then hit the sending unit gas pump assembly breaking it off the cap. I had to buy a new gas tank and the broken assembly. Price tag $900. Has anyone experienced this before?
socool371 Posts: 11993 Ford Explorer 4.0 v-6 engine when i put a lot of gas in my tank my gas hand want to stay close to E and some of the time it do read what inside the tank but mostly close to the E allway have to get gas when i know their is gas in the tank and if i have to replace the sending unit would i have to drop the gas tank to the ground in order to change it out are is their another way to change it out
i seem to be having the same issue. i deliver pizzas and i use quite a bit of gas. i have a 1996 ford explorer xlt 4x4 with the 4.0 v6. and i left my house with just over a half of a tank. and when i got home i had the same exact amount. do you think your technique would work? my check engine is not on and the check gauge is not on either. i have 120,xxx miles on it so idk if the 93 octane would kill my motor or not. what do you suggest?

The property is a great value for the location and amenities. There is no shortage of beds or places to sleep in this rental unit. It is directly on the beach, so quick walk to the water. There were plenty of towels and kitchen accessories. Also mentioned in another review, not close to the sea wall, so grocery/restaurants are a long drive. The place was clean and there was hand soap. The fan and light in the master bedroom was not working the second day we arrived and Helene was able to get it corrected but only after many follow up calls by us. I found the master bed to be a bit too firm for my liking but my partner found it fine. As mentioned in another review, no toilet paper to be found so bring your own. I find it annoying to have to supply my own toilet paper when I am on vacation, refilling the house is one thing but to arrive and not one square to be found is not how you want to begin your stay. There are many private closets marked in the house. Be sure and contact the owner if any of them are unlocked. We arrived to the kitchen pantry being unlocked and she accused us of breaking in. It was finally resolved after a week, but was not a pleasant situation.

Tanzania: Supporting the livelihood of Maasai pastoralists
Drought upon drought, rising food and fuel prices have hit Maasai pastoralists in Tanzania hard. An Oxfam grainbank is making all the difference in a community of Ngorongoro, Tanzania.
Increasingly unpredictable climate
The Maasai pastoralists of northern Tanzania are some of the country's most marginalized people. They often live in drought and disaster-prone areas, and depend on cattle for their survival. But the increasingly unpredictable climate and successive poor rains have left the animals too weak to provide milk, blood and meat. With the cattle too weak, the Maasai have to eat porridge made from cereals, but prices are high.
Rising staple prices
Prices of staples like maize are up 136 per cent in Tanzania, driven up by fuel prices and drought. In remote districts, prices are higher than anywhere. A 25kg container of maize grain, enough to feed a family of five for a week, costs up to 10,000 Tanzanian shillings (£5), nearly double the price in January 2008. To feed their children, local Maasai women have been forced to sell their traditional beadwork, often family heirlooms, and wedding gifts, to tourists staying in nearby safari lodges.
Tourism: an aggravating factor
The impact of rising prices is exacerbated by tourism. Many Maasai communities can no longer use water sources taken over by tourist lodges, and are being denied the right to farm their traditional land. With little influence over policies, their traditional livelihoods are threatened.
Village grain stores
Oxfam is speaking up for the Maasai's rights and helping them to cope with rising prices. We help build village grain stores run by committees of elders. The committees use a float to buy grain in bulk when it's cheap at harvest time. Then, as prices rise and fluctuate throughout the year, villagers are able to buy grain at a more stable, reduced rate.
The scheme has allowed Maasai people to buy their week's supply of maize for 7,000 shillings ($5.60) instead of 10,000 ($8). The scheme has had an impact on another way: it has considerably reduced the burden on women, and improved local population's health. Some women had to make journeys with donkeys of up to 120km twice a month to get grain. Elizabeth Lemakanga says: "We were very tired after the long journey. We had to sleep in the open and became sick." Oxfam will continue to help protect the Maasai from rising prices and climate-related shocks, supporting their way of life for the next generation.

Bolivia: Reviving ancient indigenous knowledge
Raising southern voices: The Kilimanjaro Native Co-operative Union

PLEASANT GROVE — Pitcher Luke Wall slammed a lead-off home run in the third inning for Hayden, but Pleasant Grove came back with scores in each of the last three innings for a 5-2 win in Friday baseball action.
The Wildcats had their chances early, but left 10 runners on base in the first five innings.
Hayden followed up Wall's homer with a bases-loaded walk that brought in Michael Hoglan,
The Spartans got on the board when Caleb Webb's fourth-inning double brought in a run; Colby Quinn then scored on a passed ball to tie the game.
Pleasant Grove took the lead in the fifth when they scored on an error and a Quinn RBI single, and added an insurance run in the sixth when Joe Hudson singled, moved around on two bunts, and scored on a passed ball.
The Spartans only had five hits, but benefited from several Wildcat errors. Wall was tagged with the loss, with three strikeouts, two walks and a hit batsman. Tristan Davis got the win with a whopping 12 strikeouts, allowing six hits and one earned run.
Hayden takes part in the Mortimer Jordan Spring Break Tournament starting Monday; they face Minor at 4 p.m. and Jordan at 6:30.

Washington Social Diary
One of the two dining rooms where The French Heritage Society held its Fete d'Hiver dinner.
The French Heritage Society: In Washington for New Orleans
By Carol Joynt
Anyone who owns or who has ever owned an antique home knows that upkeep can be a constant challenge. You dream someone, or something, will come along to help out with repairs to the one- or two hundred-year-old roof, floors, stairs or the original windows. Extend that to family operated museum houses, old churches, gardens and monuments and then put those architectural relics in France or French-related America, add a group of Francophile Americans with deep pockets and generous dispositions, and you have a picture of The French Heritage Society.
For a quarter-century the FHS has served as the clearinghouse for charitable giving and brought new life to grand medieval and 18th century chateaux, supported restoration work in New York at the French Consulate and, significantly, channeled helpful funds to Katrina-ravaged New Orleans to restore the African-American Museum, the Creole Cottages, the Edgar Degas House and the French Sculpture Garden of the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Heading into the main foyer for speeches and entertainment.
Elizabeth Stribling and Ambassador Vimont listen to Imani Coppola.
Le menu.
Saving a city means saving the people, of course, and rebuilding homes; but it also requires a strong effort to save the history, too. Much of history is in architecture. For example, New Orleans "Treme" quarter, one of the oldest African-American communities in the nation. It received minor to moderate flood damage from Katrina, but there was still severe storm-related damage.
Treme is where FHS focused its post-Katrina efforts. So far, its 14 chapters – all in the U.S. with the exception of Paris – have raised more than $200,000 for its Katrina Heritage Rescue Fund. Fifty thousand went to the African-American Museum to restore the Creole Passebon Cottage; $30,000 went to the community's central Saint Augustine Church, which suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars in wind damage; another $30,000 went to an assortment of historic cottages that needed help. (FHS's recent 25th anniversary grants in France and a few other U.S. locales totaled $435,000.)

Last week in Washington the Society held its
Fete d'Hiver
dinner in two romantically candlelit dining rooms at the residence of the French ambassador,
Pierre Vimont
, with proceeds going to their Katrina Rescue Campaign. In keeping with the winter theme, the weather outside was, indeed, frightful, with temps in the low 20s. Inside, though, all was warm and cozy. One look in the coat room, packed solid with sables and minks, and it was clear there were out of towners mixed in with the locals, as few women in Washington wear furs.
The guests were 100 or so dedicated lovers of all things French, who paid $1,000 each for the pleasure of crystal flutes of ice-cold Mumm's passed with canapés of
foie gras
and smoked salmon; a performance of classic New Orleans jazz by singer
Imani Coppola
, brief speeches and a relaxing and elegant dinner of
Peeky toe Crab a la Mousseline de Choux-Fleur et Caviar, Agneau du Colorado
en croute
Assorted Cheeses
, and
Moelleux Au Chocolat
Glace Amande-Nougatine
. The round tables for twelve were dressed in Porthault linens with gleaming flatware that had "FR," (for French Republican), engraved on each piece.
The ambassador's table.
The receiving line included the always cheerful Ambassador Vimont, French Heritage Society president
Marie-Sol de la Tour D'Auvergne
and board chairman
Elizabeth F. Stribling.
In the remarks before dinner much was made of the strong ties between France and Louisiana – both historical and emotional: "Every Frenchman has left part of his heart in Louisiana," said Marie-Sol, noting, for the Americans assembled, "you got a real bargain with Louisiana."
Before dinner, Ambassador Vimont was presented with a gift, a book of maps of the United States. Perhaps the FHS is aware Vimont is keen on road trips and is considering the purchase a car to make a summer holiday -- as much of it as his busy schedule will allow -- of driving across the U.S. He doesn't have a car at the moment, and when he's not being chauffeured, he's known to take long, long walks through the city. He is, indeed, the "Walking Man" of the song composed by his favorite American singer,

Among the beautiful and handsome in black tie and gowns (and jewels) were
Mike and Pam Peabody, Philip and Nina Pillsbury, Lolo Sarnoff

Marina Brachet
, and many others.
Dinner moved in a mellow way till past 11 o'clock, which late for the nation's capital. Guests said good-bye reluctantly, but then who would want to rush to depart France only to return to the Washington cold?
A friend took a photo of some of Sophie and Katherine's cupcakes and then made them a charming graphic for over the shop's fireplace mantel.
Washington Gets Cupcaked
By Carol Joynt
What's new in Washington? Well, the DC primary confirmed the citizens are besotted with Barack Obama, and now it seems they also have a thing for cupcakes. Yes, cupcakes. In fact, they are mad for a new store, Georgetown Cupcake, where, according to the owners, they've been buying fresh baked and buttercream adorned cupcakes at a rate of 1,000 a day since it opened only last week. They line up early and wait patiently for the chance to indulge.
After Barack Obama, Washington's newest addiction: Georgetown Cupcake on Potomac Street.
Georgetown Cupcake co-owners, and sisters, Sophie Lamontagne and Katherine Kallinis.
New Yorkers, who have Magnolia in the Village, take this sort of thing for granted, but Washington has been cupcake-challenged for decades. The location of our new addiction is a charming antique white frame house on Potomac Street in, as every shop owner within a mile declares, "the heart of Georgetown."
For me, who has a weakness for cupcakes (both the male and bakery variety) this is dangerous. A recent visit began with the scent of vanilla and chocolate filling the air at the door. The main event is a tempting display of picture perfect cupcakes, plus a menu of hot chocolate, coffee and tea. Some customers can't wait to get out the door before devouring their purchase. Note: They are delicious.
The owners are sisters,
Katherine Kallinis
Sophie Lamontagne,
natives of Toronto, who have been "baking all our lives," and who learned their recipes from their grandmother. This is the first time they've gone public with their passion, however.
Sophie, a Princeton grad, was working in venture capital in Boston, while Katherine was at Gucci in Toronto. Katherine went to school here at Marymount College, knew the area and, as she said, "we both love Washington," and Sophie and her husband had moved here and Georgetown seemed like a natural fit.
The menu this past weekend, at $2.75 per cupcake, included Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate Hazelnut, Red Velvet, Bubblegum Pink, Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl, Mocha, Chocolate and Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Key Lime, and a line of decadent specials known as Chocolate "squared," Vanilla "squared," and Chocolate "cubed." Imagine the outcome after sending one of those cupcakes to your cupcake.
What does it say about Washington that the citizenry are lining up to buy cupcakes? Good things, I hope. Like, for example, that we do have a sweet side.
Clockwise from top left:

Meanwhile -- Super Tuesday was not only a day for the Presidential
hopefuls in Washington, but an opportunity for eighty of the area's social, political and philanthropic elite to sparkle with De Beers celebrating the opening of the new Tysons Galleria store with a Sparkling Dinner of Exceptional Diamonds.
"The Lindens," Washington's oldest house.
The elegant dinner was given in honor of the Washington Ballet Spring Gala Chairs,

The salad bar looks like a healthy choice -- but not all salads are created equal. Right next to the raw veggies, you might have gigantic croutons and bacon bits.

Students are expected to take a sequence of rigorous doctoral-level courses over the first two years as a prelude to conducting original dissertation research. These cover methodological foundations (e.g., econometrics and multivariate statistics.), theoretical foundations (e.g., microeconomics and social psychology), and advanced marketing-specific seminars. The course sequence includes both required
courses and electives that speak to students' own interests. We encourage students to achieve master'sdegree competency and certification in one of the basic cognates to marketing, such as psychology, economics, or statistics.
Aside from working directly with faculty from the outset, students complete a large-scale research paper
by the end of their second year of the program, modeled on articles in leading academic marketing
A preliminary exam, which covers marketing-specific and other methodological topics, is given at the end of the second year of the program. Students are allowed ample preparation time, including meetings with individual faculty sharing their interests.

— Having had some time to reflect on the Central Region men's basketball championship game from Tuesday, which Winona State won 76-73 in overtime, a few thoughts have come to mind.
Wow! What a great game.
Winona State is a very good team. So is Minnesota State. The teams were about as evenly matched as possible coming into the game, and the results proved that point.
Winona State had a couple of banked 3-pointers at the end of shot clocks that some people call lucky. If you don't take the shot, it can't go in. You need a couple of breaks to win games like that, and Winona State made those breaks.
Minnesota State didn't fully take advantage of the foul differential. The Mavericks were 26 of 36 at the free-throw line, while Winona State was 12 of 17. If Minnesota State makes a couple more free throws, they're preparing to play at Louisville. The same could bee said about 3 of 14 shooting from 3-point range.
It seemed like Minnesota State was the better rebounding team, though the difference was only plus-1. However, the Mavericks' 13 offensive rebounds only turned into 16 second-chance points.
At the end of regulation, the Mavericks had a pretty good possession that ended with a good defensive play by Winona State. A the end of overtime, searching for the tying 3, the Mavericks didn't execute very well.
There are a lot of talented players returning to the team next season, though the lone senior Jarvis Williams, won't be back. He was the go-to guy at the end of games, a tough matchup because his length, quickness and athleticism and the team's best on-ball defender.
It's not automatic that the Mavericks will be back in this position next year, though they will enter the season as a favorite in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, along with Augustana.
The final thought will be the crowd. It's amazing what can happen when the Mankato community and Minnesota State students come together en masse to watch a sporting event. It happens a couple times each year at hockey games, and it happened Tuesday night at Bresnan Arena.
The atmosphere that can be created in the local arenas is so electric and fun that it boggles the mind why it doesn't happen more often. Outside of the outcome, there couldn't be anyone leaving that building Tuesday night saying they weren't entertained by that basketball game.
Two very good teams, playing a one-possession game for most of 45 minutes ... if you didn't enjoy that, it's a wonder you were there in the first place.
Come next November, the thrill of Tuesday night will be forgotten, and attendance will slip back to its usual, sad low number. There needs to be someone around who can remind the fan base how much fun can be had at the arena, watching talented college players do their thing.
