DES MOINES — Brian London, who resigned as the commissioner of the state Department of Public Safety last week after a rash of scandals, was given plenty of chances to run the department effectively, Iowa's governor shot back Monday in response to London's complaint he was undermined from the beginning.
London resigned last Tuesday, ending an 11-month tenure marked by what employees called a difficult management style and plummeting morale. There also was a scandal involving the governor's speeding vehicle and a diplomatic incident over a remark about Filipinos.
"I think we gave him plenty of chances. In fact there are a lot of people who said maybe we should have gotten rid of him sooner but basically I don't believe in looking back," said Gov. Branstad in a conference call to reporters from a trade mission in Japan. "I want to look ahead."
London, in a Friday interview with the Cedar Rapids newspaper, the Gazette, claimed he was never given a chance in Iowa and his treatment by state officials has ruined him professionally.
Branstad moved quickly after London's resignation to appoint Larry Noble, a 30-year department veteran who had resigned from the same job last year citing personal reasons.
London started work in October 2012 overseeing the state agency that includes the Iowa State Patrol and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
London and two other officials were sued last month over their roles in firing Division of Criminal Investigation special agent Larry Hedlund, who contends superiors retaliated against him for filing a complaint in April about the governor's speeding vehicle. Hedlund's lawsuit claims London was a micromanager who pressured subordinates through threats of disciplinary action.
London also apologized in August for telling employees that, in his experience with lie detection tests, Filipinos were difficult to polygraph. London claimed he was making a point about cultural barriers, but his remark was condemned by the Philippine ambassador to the U.S., who called to demand an explanation.
A publicly listed telephone number could not be located for London, who recently bought a new home in West Des Moines. A DPS spokesman said the department does not have contact information for former employees and couldn't provide a number.

For over two decades, Frederic Fekkai has impacted the international beauty landscape. Innovative cuts, premium hair products and a rarefied salon concept define Fekkai as a pioneering businessman. But it is the allure of his personal life�his homes and lifestyle are routinely chronicled in major beauty, fashion and lifestyle publications�that elevates his reputation to that of an aesthete and tastemaker of the highest order.
Born in Aix-en-Provence, France, Fekkai rapidly rose through the beauty ranks by training with a roster of notable Parisian hairdressers. Early on, Fekkai's revolutionary approach to hair was clear. Instead of performing one "signature cut," Fekkai became a master of customization. His philosophy? Focus on the individual. After observing a client, Fekkai would design a style that maximized her attributes and enhanced the "total look."
By 1989, Fekkai's modern cuts caught the attention of Bergdorf Goodman and he was invited to design a salon that echoed the sophistication of the celebrated department store. Frederic Fekkai Beauty Center became an instant mecca for social swans and celebrities�and the extraordinary customer service set a new benchmark for hair care, launching Fekkai as a major player in the beauty industry.
Fekkai decided to extend the luxury hair experience from his salon into clients' homes with scientifically advanced products designed to rejuvenate different hair types. The first collection debuted in 1995, delighting women who craved high performance product that addressed their individual concerns. Today, the Fekkai product line remains a category headliner; the ultimate in luxury hair care distributed in over 40 countries worldwide.
A roster of celebrity clientele, explosive press and an award-winning product line transformed Frederic Fekkai from red-hot hairdresser to luxury lifestyle brand by 1995. By 2005, Fekkai expanded the product lineup and salon business that exuded his specific brand of effortless style. There are currently seven Fekkai salons servicing a total of 1.500 clients a day

NEOSHO, Mo. —
Neosho kicked off the holiday season Saturday with its 11th annual Dickens Christmas Faire.
The Neosho Chamber of Commerce hosts the annual event, which brings in regional craft and food vendors to spice up holiday traditions such as "Breakfast with Santa" and the Neosho Christmas parade. Shana Griffin, Neosho Chamber of Commerce executive director, said that the chamber members want the event to harken back to earlier days to experience an "old-fashioned Christmas."
"We want to be unique in offering a day that people can step back in time for a day," Griffin said. "The chamber wants this event to be a positive mark for Neosho and to be fun for our residents while celebrating the holiday season."
Most of the day's events were free because of sponsorships that the chamber members secured.
"Most of the expenses for the weekend are covered through sponsors, so we try to make everything as free as possible," Griffin said. "This is a chamber event, but this isn't a moneymaker and that isn't our goal. This is for the city."
Patrons lined up at The Civic to get a peek at holiday crafts and food from area vendors Saturday afternoon. Neosho resident Roy Lindsey and his wife Marianne were among the many merchants on hand, providing a taste of authentic German pastries and coffee. The couple operate Roy and Marianne's Designs and Desserts in Neosho.
"We had so much fun last year at our booth and we wanted to come back out and get face to face with the community," Roy Lindsey said. "This is a great opportunity for people in town to find homemade gifts for the holidays, and it's a great way to keep our name out there."
Members of the Neosho High School marching band and their families took the opportunity to raise funds for the group's trip to Orlando, Fla., scheduled for May 24. Bobbi Pennington worked at a booth Saturday to help raise money for her daughter who is making the trip.
"People recognized what we were doing today, and we sold tickets for the concert pretty well," Pennington said. "The community was behind the fair today, and it really helped us get closer to getting the money for the trip."
For some, the Dickens Faire is a chance to spend time with their family in a different way. Vicki Harris, Neosho, brought her grandchildren late in the day to experience the parade after taking in the craft show at The Civic.
"Its just refreshing to have this in a small town," Harris said. "I've come every year, and it really does have something for everyone. That's what makes it work."
Tradition continues
The Crowder College Community Chorus will perform "A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols" at 7 p.m. today at United Methodist Church in Neosho. The service, traditionally sung on the first Sunday of Advent, consists of readings from the Bible interspersed with traditional Christmas carols, congregation hymns and special music.

What's For Supper? Vermont Law School Explores How the World Eats
January 27, 2011
What Americans have on their plates these days is increasingly coming from opposite sides of the food spectrum. Over the past decade, production and consumption of both genetically modified food and organic food have risen steadily in the Untied States-as have the complex legal issues surrounding these trends.
The U.S. Supreme Court's first decision on genetically engineered food, which came last year, was the focus of the first panel discussion at Pollinate and Cultivate: Seeding the Future of Our Food, a two-day agriculture law and policy conference Jan. 27-28 at Vermont Law School.
Ten student groups hosted the conference, which explored the ways in which the world eats and ways to improve our systems for growing, transporting and consuming food. The goal was to inspire innovative solutions to the challenges facing our troubled food systems and to examine issues ranging from local food movements to national policy and global impacts.
Professor Pat Parenteau started the conference by discussing biotechnology in agriculture, focusing on last year's Supreme Court ruling in Monsanto v. Geertson Seed Farms, its potential implications for National Environmental Policy Act lawsuits and the farming of genetically modified salmon.
In Monsanto, the Supreme Court overturned a lower court's decision prohibiting Monsanto from selling pesticide-resistant alfalfa seeds until the federal government completes an environmental impact study. In 2006, environmental groups, farmers and consumers sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture, arguing that cross-pollination from genetically modified crops could contaminate conventional alfalfa fields. The groups also argued that overuse of Monsanto's herbicide Roundup, which the seeds were bred to resist, could harm soil and groundwater and promote the further growth of Roundup-resistant weeds.
Ultimately, the Agriculture Department's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service opted to complete an environmental impact study, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Jan. 27 -- the opening day of the VLS food conference -- authorized the unrestricted commercial cultivation of genetically modified alfalfa. He rejected a proposal to restrict the growing of genetically engineered alfalfa to protect organic farmers from cross-contamination.
Critics of genetically modified crops and salmon have nicknamed them "Frankenfood" in an effort to simplify their threat, but Parenteau said the issue is a "fiendishly complicated" mix of legal, scientific, ethical, environmental, economic, social and public health issues.
"The real issue is whether genetically modified food and organic food can co-exist"" he said. "The USDA thinks so, but other countries, including Korea and Saudi Arabia, have zero tolerance for any trace of genetically engineered foods."
Many U.S. crops already are genetically engineered, including the vast majority of soybeans, cotton, corn and sugar beets, producing a growing amount of profits for the agribusiness industry, Parenteau said. And that has implications for other parts of the food system, including organic dairy farmers who need certified organic alfalfa forage to feed their cattle or they risk losing their organic certification, he said.
Other conference topics included farm and agriculture business incubators; how the 2012 Farm Bill might amend the 2008 Farm Bill to protect ecosystems, family farms and consumers; food's effects on human reproductive health; global animal welfare and industrial agriculture; Native American food systems; water pollution from industrial agriculture; renewable energy source from farm products; and efforts to being together nonprofit groups advocating for migrant farm workers, small family farmers and urban agriculturists.

Buffalo Bills great Andre Reed this summer will get to learn on the job under one of the most veteran coaches in the NFL.
Reed has accepted a Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship position with Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs for this summer, Reed's representative, Jimmy Goldsmith, reports.
The coaching fellowship program is an annual NFL endeavor to give talented minority coaching prospects the chance to work during training camp and preseason with NFL coaching staffs. It's designed as a vocational tool to increase the number of full-time minority coaches in the league, and it was the brainchild of Walsh, the Hall-of-Fame coach of the 49ers.
Reid is in his first year with the Chiefs. He's the fifth most veteran head coach in the NFL, behind Mike Shanahan, Bill Belichick, Jeff Fisher and Tom Coughlin.

Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz told state officials Wednesday that a land swap with the county school system will benefit the public.
The Baltimore County Council Tuesday approved the swap of 10-acres in Mays Chapel for an adjacent 10-acre parcel owned by the Baltimore County Public Schools system. The school system plans to build a new Mays Chapel elementary school on the site.
Opponent of the swap and the school say the plan will result a loss of the nearby parkland and walking trails.
State Treasurer Nancy Kopp Wednesday asked Kamenetz about the swap, the proposed project and concerns about the lose of open space.
"I just want to tell you the reason why we did this because we're addressing the community concerns," Kamenetz said. "We think by placing the school site on a different location on the parcel will result in more public use of the land."

Jones is the newest contestant to join TV's "Dancing With the Stars."||||||| Jones was the first contestant announced Sunday night for the show's new season. The announcement came during a commercial that aired during ABC's telecast of the Academy Awards. The other new contestants will be announced Tuesday on "Good Morning America." The show premieres March 18. Jones is known for his dance moves in the end zone after a touchdown. Three other NFL players have won the competition: Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward and Donald Driver.
Jones was named AFC special teams player of the week after tying an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return in Baltimore's 31-29 win over the Dallas Cowboys.||||||| Houston released Jones in May. He played five years with the Texans, but fell out of favor after fumbling twice in a Texans' 20-13 playoff loss to Baltimore. Jones promptly signed with the Ravens. He's returned three kickoffs for 159 yards, has 72 yards on eight punt returns and has 11 receptions for 185 yards and a touchdown.
Jones of the Baltimore Ravens has tied an NFL record with a 108-yard kickoff return. Jones' return came in the third quarter of Baltimore's game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.||||||| The return tied the mark set by Ellis Hobbs of New England against the New York Jets in 2007 and matched in 2011 by Randall Cobb of Green Bay against New Orleans. The Ravens' record for a kickoff return was 103 yards by David Reed against Houston in 2010.
Former Houston Texans wide receiver Jacoby Jones has agreed to terms with the Baltimore Ravens on a two-year contract. Jones was cut by the Texans last week. He caught 31 passes for 512 yards and two touchdowns last season, but also fumbled twice in Houston's playoff loss to the Ravens.||||||| The 27-year-old Jones gives depth to Baltimore's group of receivers. The Ravens have two established starters in Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith, but have no proven option at the third receiver spot. Jones has 127 catches for 1,741 yards and 11 touchdowns over five NFL seasons, all of them with the Texans. Jones also provides an option to cornerback Lardarius Webb as a punt returner. Jones has three career punt returns for touchdowns and averages 23.3 yards on kickoffs
The Texans have waived Jones after five seasons.||||||| The 6-foot-2, 212-pound Jones caught only 31 passes for 512 yards last season, while star receiver Andre Johnson spent much of the year recovering from injuries. The Texans drafted Ohio State receiver DeVier Posey in the third round and Michigan State's Keshawn Martin in the fourth, making Jones expendable.

This year's racing is so heated it's tough to tell who's going to do what anymore. I'm not talking about the Matt Mladin show with AMA either, I'm talking about the big kids from World Super Bike and Moto GP. This is one amazing year with Yamaha making out like a bandit in the showings. Good for them, too, because they are actually re-engineering their bikes to get more out of them, compared to most of the others that are sticking with the old-school engines that have worked well in the past.
Kicking it off with WSB, the last races I saw were from Nürburgring in Germany. It was some tough racing and Ben Spies' closest competitor in the points standing is Noriyuki Haga. These two are having a very competitive year and I believe they will run it down to the last race, or so it seems. As I type, Spies has an 18-point advantage, and he might not have gotten that if Haga didn't wreck out in the German race. As I've said before, I think many of the riders are unhappy with how Spies has climbed the ranks as fast as he has, but he's got game whereas others just don't cut it. They call Spies "Elbows" and if you've seen him ride, you will know why. It's as if he's permanently riding a motard the way he sticks them out there, but in reality I think it has a lot to do with how tall he is compared to how small the bike is. Either way, I think there are some great races left in the lineup and they will all be nail-biters, to say the least. Rumors still abound as to whether Spies will be moving over to GP, but as it stands right now it looks like he will still run WSB for the 2010 season.
Even with all the pit chatter, it's easy to see that Spies will run Moto GP in the coming years. Spies has been rumored to be taking over James Tosland's spot on the Remote Yamaha Team along with Colin Edwards, but as of right now, it's confirmed that he will in fact run the 2010 season in WSB. While I'm sure he could jump in and swim with the big kids right now, I'm also sure we all look at it the same way, that Spies should climb the ladder one rung at a time. What better way to make a world champion than to fight all the way to the top. Go Ben Spies!
Then you have the Moto GP saga continuing to unfold. Currently, Valentino Rossi is holding the young guns off with a 30-point lead—and with only a handful of races to go, it's going to be an uphill battle for the Prince of motorcycle racing. First off, you have Rossi's teammate Jorge Lorenzo, who is a stout competitor. Jorge really wants to show the world what he has, and he does offer some great riding, though I wonder if he really has it when it's needed most: under severe pressure. He hasn't impressed me just yet, especially with the win at Indy and his "Captain America" imitation. I do believe he and a few others are the future of the sport, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
Then you have Danni Pedrosa who, for all intents and purposes, is a fantastic rider, but I find it really hard to get behind the Factory Honda rider and support him. At the end of the day, I think most people cheer for the rider that they feel closest to and appreciate most, and here in the U.S., I've yet to meet anyone that really likes him other than my buddy MG, though MG just likes him cause he's not Rossi.
The next GP will see Casey Stoner back in the seat after his mystery illness. Admittedly, I'm not exactly sure what's happening with Stoner, and there is much talk about what it could be. Casey was given the last three races—and the summer break—off to get fit again. From all I understand, Casey had a virus on one of his races and he never did shake it off. Last I heard, he flew home to Australia to deal with his own doctors, and I've not heard anything since.
With Stoner back in the game, along with Pedrosa and Lorenzo looking for the win, I do think the last few races will be way too close to call. This season has been some of the closest racing we've seen yet. Make sure not to miss a single event, even if it's going to be shown on Fox instead of Speed.
Ben Steinberg hails from Canada and is an experienced racer, with many years racing everything from two-strokes to superbikes and even F-1 sidecars. Currently, Ben is employed as the general manager of the Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort, just over the state line in North Carolina.

While the weather outside might be cold, nasty, or just plain dismal, here in Organized Play, we're huddled around our heaters and computer screens, planning, plotting, and scheming up our 2010 offerings. Here's some of the latest developments and news!
Weekend in the Realms Recap
This past November 6-8, Living Forgotten Realms gamers participated worldwide in Weekend in the Realms, a celebration of the largest D&D shared-world campaign (now about 16 months old) and an opportunity to play an exclusive adventure! "The Icy Queen's Crossing" was the first LFR adventure to offer a tie-in with a Forgotten Realms novel – specifically, The Fall of Highwatch. Characters journeyed to the cold lands of Narfell, encountered the tribal Creel, and dealt with demons in the aftermath of the events detailed in the novel. Look for more tie-ins with novels and other products in the future, as LFR continues to take you on a journey throughout the Realms. Keep an eye on the Living Forgotten Realms Community page for future information.
Get Social! Official D&D Twitter Channel & More
Social networking tools are growing at a phenomenal pace, and we're trying to keep up with the latest and greatest here at Wizards. In fact, we've just launched an official Twitter channel, or if you're already on Twitter, simply hit up @Wizards_DnD to follow hot news and spur-of-the-moment discussions. You can bet that Organized Play updates will occasionally flow through there as well.
Can't keep up with what's where? Here's a list of where you can find D&D Organized Play information on various social networking platforms:
LFR Adventures Premiere in Public
Starting in January, new Living Forgotten Realms adventures will be available first to those running public games scheduled through the Wizards Play Network. It's our hope that local organizers will find this of great benefit, as game stores and conventions will now be able to premiere almost all LFR adventures approximately 3 months before these adventures become available for home play. So, head to your local game shop or convention to try out the hottest new offerings for Living Forgotten Realms!
D&D Experience: January 28-31
Just around the corner is our feature D&D convention for the year – D&D Experience! Taking place in Fort Wayne, Indiana January 28-31, D&D Experience will be your place to get the inside track on what's going on with the game for 2010. We'll have a detailed breakdown of (most) everything to expect at the show in the January column, but you can see a full schedule over at the D&D Experience website and register for games. Run by our go-to big show organizer David Christ, here's just a short list of some of the exciting activities we have in store this year:
That's all for this month. Have a warm and festive holiday season, and we'll see you in 2010!
Check out the latest adventure offerings for December!

The Connecticut Department of Children and Families is bringing the traveling photography exhibit "Heart Gallery" to Crystal Mall to be on display for two months. The exhibit was created to raise awareness about children who are available for adoption. The goal of the exhibit is to inspire people to look into the eyes of the children, and then look into their hearts to see if they can offer one or more a "forever family."
About the Heart Gallery:
The first Heart Gallery was created in 2001 in New Mexico by the Children, Youth and Families Department as a way to raise awareness about children who are available for adoption. Like a lovingly nurtured child, the Heart Gallery has grown since that very successful first exhibit, and now takes place in over 45 states in the U.S.A. In 2003, photographers Christine Breslin and Sandy Hale approached the Department of Children & Families and brought the first Heart Gallery to the State of Connecticut. In 2005, adoptive parent Lisa Konicki spearheaded a collaborative project with the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island to host a joint Heart Gallery exhibit featuring children from both states

Croydon pupils continue to make the grade
8:50am Tuesday 15th January 2013 in News
Pupils in Croydon are achieving grades higher than the national average.
According to a new report, from early years foundation stages through to leaving sixth forms, schools in the borough are helping their students achieve top grades.
The report sets out a range of improvements and new initiatives launched by the council that have contributed to pupil's success and also details new ways to encourage and support schools to develop further.
Councillor Tim Pollard, cabinet member for children, families and learning, said: "The educational performance of our young people is one of the council's highest priorities, so I am delighted these latest figures show that we're achieving our targets in such a positive fashion.
"However, despite our successes, we're never complacent and we expect our schools to show improvements year on year."

Updating the review, since when I reviewed it back in 2009 it was still called Boulevard Pilsner.
Poured into a pint glass at my humble abode.
Pours an absolutely beautiful, and I do mean BEAUTIFUL crystal clear yellow gold. I've not seen a beer this clear in ages. You can see the details of your fingerprints through the beer. It seems more clear than the big boys and their adjunct-laden stuff. Head is not huge, but sufficient, and holds well.
The nose is light, with just a faint graininess peeking through. Not much hop in the aroma either, just that hint of clean malt. I'm getting absolutely no DMS "cooked corn" aroma, which is a very good thing. Just a good, clean, balanced American style pilsner smell.
The flavor mimics the nose to a "T". Nothing but pilsner malt up front. Nice and grainy, but not a harsh or forceful graininess. It isn't sweet, it isn't bitter. Just smooth, pleasant, and very easy to drink. The hops are here, yet the brew is still amazingly well balanced. Given the delicate nature of the flavor, that's quite an accomplishment. So many things can go wrong with this style, and there's no place for mistakes to hide, yet the potential flaws are notable in their absence here. In fact, that's a great way to appreciate the beer; recognize what shouldn't be and *isn't* here. This is a damn fine American pilsner!
The mouthfeel is light, crisp, yet creamy. The beer is well carbonated, but not like the soda carbonation levels you see at times when brewers attempt this style. As with the flavor, it's a fine line, a balancing act, and Boulevard pulls it off extremely well.
It would be a far shorter list to mention what's *not* drinkable about this beer. That would be a list with zero items. This is really, really well done. If you're into the "if it ain't eleventy jillion percent alcohol and infinity IBUs then don't call me" mode, you won't find this worth your time. This is a beer for a refined drinker who chases nuance and appreciates the art of brewing rather than one who enjoys getting slapped upside the head with huge flavor and jaw-clenching bitterness. It would also be great for a BMC drinker who wants to get into craft beer. I'll admit it bothers me a small amount when I see brews like this denigrated by craft beer drinkers who should know better. If one approaches this with the understanding of what it is supposed to be - a clean, mild, easy to drink and sessionable all-malt American style pilsner - rather than what it is not - a super-complex, rich, overhopped ale made from a recipe found in a UFO at Area 51, using the only known fruit from the last surviving species of a particular tree in the Amazon picked right before it was plowed under, barrel aged in Jesus' tomb, and carbonated with unicorn farts -- one can't help but be impressed. When drinking it, if you find yourself saying "man, I'm not really tasting such-and-such", well hello. Now you're starting to get it. I'm extremely happy with the beer. If you've made it past the "get me faced in one beer OR ELSE" phase, definitely give this one a shot. Delicate, yet well worth drinking. I'm very impressed with what Boulevard has done here.

A: Poured from a bottle in a glass. Brilliantly clear, gold. Head was gone in 30 seconds. Some lacing.
S: Smells like Saaz hops and pilsner malt. 2 of my favorites. Expecting more adjunct aroma but not finding it.
T: The beer has a lot more bitterness than I was expecting. No hop flavor, only bitterness. The bitterness lingers. No malty sweetness. This beer is quite dry.
M: I prefer this style more carbonated. It's a little thin and it's not giving me any wow factors. Goes down really easy.
O: It's good. I'd like a touch more malt sweetness to balance the hops and a touch more carbonation. Worth trying once but I wouldn't repeat.

Last year, the Parliament of Uganda debated a law that would make habitual homosexual behavior punishable by death. Americans and Europeans were outraged. This East African nation is one our closest African allies, and the recipient of some $16 billion in foreign aid during the past two decades. Activists staged demonstrations outside Uganda's embassies, organized petitions, sent funds to Ugandan gay rights groups, and denounced American fundamentalist Christians who were linked to the Ugandan pastors and politicians behind the bill. Western diplomats threatened to cut off aid to Uganda if the Anti-Homosexuality bill passed, and the bill died in Parliament in May.
What I'd like to know is this: where are those activists and diplomats now that the Ugandan government is inflicting even worse abuses against all Ugandans, gay and straight? Since national elections in February, Uganda's security forces have fired on peaceful demonstrators—killing at least nine people including a toddler—and imprisoned hundreds of others; the opposition leader Kizza Bessigye was shot in the hand and doused with so much tear gas and pepper spray he nearly went blind; soaring inflation, in part due to the looting of the Treasury to finance the ruling party's election campaigns has caused the number of children hospitalized with malnutrition to triple. Meanwhile, President Yoweri Museveni just spent $50 million of British development aid on a private Gulf Stream jet, described by its manufacturer as "the world's most versatile and stylish" on the market.

Meridian, Miss.
A well-known member of the community has been charged with uttering/forgery.
Meridian police say Greg Bott was charged but officials would not release any more information than that. Bott's bond was set at $5,000.
Bott served as the campaign chairman for The United Way of East Mississippi's annual fundraising campaign last year.
Bott told Newscenter 11 by phone Monday that the arrest is false and part of a personal dispute.

A former McDonough attorney was sentenced, Thursday, to more than five years in federal prison after pleading guilty to a wire-fraud charge involving a real-estate scam that defrauded investors in three states and nine Georgia cities, including Jonesboro, prosecutors said.
Steven H. Ballard, 53, was sentenced to five years and three months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, according to a statement released by Patrick Crosby, public affairs officer for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia. Ballard was also ordered to pay approximately $1.13 million in restitution to victims of the scheme, according to Crosby.
There is no parole in the federal system, Crosby said in the statement. Ballard pleaded guilty to the wire-fraud charge on July 9.
"I am gratified that the U.S. Attorney's Office was able to present the losses of so many victims to the court, and thereby obtain justice for those who relied on this former attorney and his 'legal' papers," Clayton County District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson said in the statement.
"In Clayton County alone, our victims lost over $200,000, but there were more victims spread well beyond our county limits which were included in this federal prosecution," she said.
From September 2002, until May 2006, Ballard collected more than $2 million dollars in a real-estate scam commonly known as a Ponzi scheme, according to Crosby. Ballard defrauded investors in Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee, Crosby said.
In Georgia alone, Ballard solicited funds from victims in Jonesboro, Duluth, Dunwoody, Fayetteville, Jackson, Newnan, Palmetto, Peachtree City, and Whitesburg, according to the statement.
"Ballard falsely promised lucrative real estate and other investments which never took place, often preparing HUD-1 settlement statements, warranty deeds, and sales contracts to reflect non-existent property purchases while using a portion of the scheme proceeds to repay former victim-investors and clients whose cases had been mishandled," Crosby said.
He said Ballard made reimbursements to victims only if they detected the scheme.
In July, former Clayton County Chief Staff Attorney Don Comer said that Ballard, a long-time friend, tricked him out of more than $125,000 in a real-estate scam in 2005.
"Needless to say, it's extremely disappointing to have a friend do that," said Comer. "But not only has he ruined his own life, he did this to some people that he took their entire savings and retirement."
Ballard could have received a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, as well as restitution to all victims who have not been repaid to date, according to Crosby.
Ballard's law license was suspended by the State Bar of Georgia in September 2005, and he was disbarred in May 2006, according to the statement from Crosby.

TRAVERSE CITY — When Traverse City Central athletic director Cody Inglis applied to host four cross country regionals here, he had one site in mind that could handle the volume.
Grand Traverse Resort and Spa.
"When we approached Resort officials they were fired up about it," Inglis said.
On Saturday, Central and the Resort will partner in welcoming 122 teams and about 850 runners in what will be a first in northern Michigan — a day-long cross country regional event that brings together all four divisions.
Benzie Central previously hosted regionals for Divisions II, III and IV, but this will be the first time a Division I regional has been held in the north.
"We jumped at the chance when the MHSAA said to us, 'Hey, we would like to give you the opportunity if you want because you've always had to travel for regionals,'" Inglis said.
Most of the course will be on Spruce Run, one of three golf courses at the Resort. The start and finish lines are off Lautner Road.
Paul Galligan, director of golf courses and ground maintenance at the Resort, started laying out the initial course a year ago. Galligan has a son who ran cross country at Elk Rapids and Kalamazoo College — and he's observed races on golf courses — so he had an idea what was needed.
Galligan said once the event was secured, he met with Inglis and took him on a tour of his proposed layout.
"I said, 'This is what we can provide. Will it work?'" Galligan recalled.
"I still remember that cold golf cart ride last November," Inglis said. "Paul had a tentative course, what he was thinking. Since then, Paul has worked closely with John (Central boys coach John Lober) and Lisa (girls coach Lisa Taylor) in tightening up that course, changing some things, using some natural barriers. It's a beautiful course.

Association announces innovative online learning tool to prepare learners for IT certifications, careers
WASHINGTON, May 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CompTIA, the non-profit association for the IT industry, today announced the launch of CompTIA CertMaster, an online learning solution designed to help students and professionals learn and retain technical information more effectively, better preparing them for IT certification exams and future IT careers.

The software combines key principles from each field to help users learn necessary information quickly and retain it long-term.
"In traditional online learning models, it's typically a race to the finish," said Terry Erdle, executive vice president, skills certification & learning, CompTIA.

"With CompTIA CertMaster, learners get a firm grasp on the critical knowledge required to pursue a range of professional opportunities, and add value to their current organizations."
CompTIA CertMaster will be available to the public in June 2014 with learning solutions for CompTIA A+, CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Network+ and Strata IT Fundamentals.

By Ike Adams
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
A few weeks ago, Loretta and I were taking in the sights and sounds at the Kentucky State Fair.
We were in one of those vast pavilions where several hundred vendors and exhibitors were crammed in side by side and where everybody was trying to yell loud enough to be understood over his or her neighbor.
Normal conversation was impossible and I had to cup my ear with one hand and stick it right up in someone's face to understand a word they were saying. A few vendors had even resorted to using flash cards. Customers would point to a watch or bracelet or wallet — or whatever — and the sales person would hold up a card showing the price, which had me wondering why they didn't have price tags on stuff to begin with.
I finally figured out that prices fluctuated wildly and that a lot of vendors were still trying to figure out what the market would bear. I also figured out that you didn't really have to pay the asking price for anything when a little lady in front of me had her own set of cards. She pointed to a sauce pan and the sales girl flashed $20. The lady flashed $15. The sales girl closed her eyes, stared heavenward for a few seconds and then gave a thumbs-up to close the deal.
Then, all of a sudden, over the roaring din, seemingly from the rafters came a thunderous "WHO-WHOOA—WHO—WHO!!!"
The crowd quieted almost as if someone had hit a switch to turn the volume off. Loretta looked at me, eyes round as saucers and I told her someone had turned a great horned owl loose in the place. But the quiet only lasted no more than 10 seconds before the volume knob was turned back up to max.
Three or four minutes went by and it happened again, "WHO-WHOOA—WHO—WHO!!!" Momentary quiet again and three minutes later, the owl bellowed again but by this time it had no effect on the roaring crowd.
In the meantime I was scanning the rafters and trying to figure out where the bird was until someone finally yelled into my ear that it was coming from the Raptor Rescue and Rehabilitation exhibit located at the back of the pavilion. At that point I was thinking it must be a recording that they were amplifying with a good set of loud-speakers to call attention to their display.
Not so. We finally got up close to the large exhibit where several handlers were showing off numerous hawks, falcons, golden and bald eagles, a variety of owls in various shapes and sizes and other birds that had suffered accidental physical damage by running into car headlights, power lines or even being shot. Injured to the point they couldn't survive in the wild. While other folks oooohhhed and ahhhhhed over a very friendly and curious bald eagle named Liberty who seemed to be getting a kick out of all the attention he was getting while perched on his handler's arm, the show stopper for me was Roscoe, the great horned owl.
He was perched on an old, dead oak snag they had erected especially for him in the display and, for whatever reason, he had decided to show his stuff in broad daylight, oblivious to the thousands of humans milling around below him. No microphone was involved and when he bellowed out his call, the handlers simply shrugged and explained he was totally unpredictable and he did that any time the mood struck him.
About a week ago Loretta and I had just turned in when we heard the distinctive "WHO-WHOOOA—WHO—WHO!" coming from up the branch in the woods across the way. We looked at each other, simultaneously nodded our heads and said in unison, "State Fair."
I crawled out of bed, went to the front porch, cupped my hand over my mouth and did my best owl imitation as loudly as I could muster. Not quite as loud as the big guy up the road but good enough to pique his curiosity. I echoed his call a few times and, within 10 minutes, he was in the huge tulip poplar directly in front of our house, about 150 yards away.
He has been there for several hours every night since but I have been unable to entice him any closer.
Loretta says he's already close enough to keep her awake, but the truth is, she's just like me. Neither of us would take a bundle of money for the pleasure we get from that owl. We have our fingers crossed that he's not just passing through and that he's going to stick around all winter.

Giants sign safety Antrel Rolle
The Giants signed FS Antrel Rolle to a deal for five years and a reported $37 million, $15 million guaranteed, one of the richest deals ever given to a safety.
NFC East team needs
Regardless of whether RB Clinton Portis is still in Washington next season, the Redskins need new blood at running back. PFW concludes its analysis of team needs with the NFC East.
Pierce might have to wait for job
The Giants cut Antonio Pierce after five mostly great seasons in New York, and his disc injury might prevent him from getting another job right away.
Coughlin: Giants' Sintim has come 'long way'
OLB Clint Sintim could find himself earning a lot more playing time in his second pro season, with some expected shuffling going on at linebacker.
Giants name Sullivan new QB coach
The Giants announced today that Mike Sullivan, who previously has coached the team's wide receivers, now will be the quarterbacks coach.
Giants cut MLB Pierce
MLB Antonio Pierce told the Newark Star-Ledger by e-mail that the Giants have cut him, a move later confirmed by the team.
Fewell gives some hints about Giants' defense
New defensive coordinator Perry Fewell is going through the process of evaluating the Giants' defensive talent and trying to establish what he has and what system he wants to run.
Giants have biggest questions in the middle
The biggest question facing the Giants this offseason likely is going to be who will line up at middle linebacker.
Could Pascoe fill Giants' blocking TE role?
The Giants made a subtle pickup in December, adding TE Bear Pascoe to the roster, and it was a mild surprise that he played ahead of Darcy Johnson at times down the stretch.
Giants tab Fewell as defensive coordinator
The Giants announced Thursday they have named Perry Fewell their defensive coordinator.
Giants' biggest changes could be at linebacker
There is a growing sense that LBs Antonio Pierce, Danny Clark and Gerris Wilkinson all could be former Giants this offseason, leaving several LB positions open.
Giants dismiss DL coach Wauffle
A day after the Giants fired defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan, the team made another coaching move, letting DL coach Mike Wauffle go.
Giants fire defensive coordinator Sheridan
Owner John Mara said head coach Tom Coughlin and GM Jerry Reese were safe Monday, but the team fired defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan.
Painter was cut by the Raves on Friday.||||||| Painter, who started eight games for the Colts last season, was in competition with Tyrod Taylor throughout the preseason to be the backup to Joe Flacco.
Colts coach Jim Caldwell has picked quarterback Curtis Painter to start Sunday's game against Carolina.||||||| Painter replaced the injured Kerry Collins against Pittsburgh in September and has started every game since then. But after posting quarterback ratings of 51 or less in each of his past four games, fans were clamoring for another change. At 0-11, the Colts are the only winless team in the NFL. Dan Orlovsky is the only other healthy quarterback on Indy's roster, and coming off a bye week, many fans thought it was a logical time to make a change.
Painter was 13 of 19 for 94 yards with two interceptions, three sacks and a quarterback rating of 40.3 in Sunday's 17-3 loss to Jacksonville. He was yanked for the second straight week.||||||| Painter has completed just 54.5 percent of his passes with no TDs and six INTs in the last four games.
Painter was 9 of 17 for 67 yards and an interception in the Colts' 62-7 loss to the Saints on Sunday.||||||| He also fumbled a snap to finish with a 38.1 passer rating. The Colts fell to 0-7 this season.
Painter completed 23 of 34 passes for 188 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bengals.||||||| Painter's interception was his first of the season. Next Sunday, Painter and the Colts face a New Orleans team that is tied for the fourth-fewest interceptions with three.

These tights are really comfortable and stay where they need to stay. There is no fight against gravity while running. They are a little thin, so I would wear something thicker for really cold days, but these did well in the upper 30's, low 40's. I love how they feel. They are super soft and look great. I would love to get another pair. The only thing that would add to them is if they had a key pocket, but alas nothing is perfect.

ATKINSON - Make no bones about it, this 'joint is jumpin'!' Come to a skeleton connection where we'll put the bones in all the right places. These fun, moveable skeletons are quick and easy to make, and we'll learn some 'bone-ified' facts about the body at the same time. This activity is for children ages 6-9 or in grades 1-3. Make sure you register your children so they get a seat. Mmmmm... bones! Bon appetite for a 'special kiddie-bone' treat!
It's a ghostly, ghastly time of year and we've got a special event planned all about NH cemeteries and gravestones. Be sure to mark your calendar for Mon., October 28, from 6:30-8:00 p.m., so that you will not be left out in the cold, dark night.
Rubbings, photographs, and slides illustrate the rich variety of gravestones to be found in our own neighborhoods, but they also tell long-forgotten stories of such historical events as the Great Awakening, the Throat Distemper epidemic, and the American Revolution. Find out more about these deeply personal works of art and the craftsmen who carved them with Glenn Knoblock, and learn how to read the stone "pages" that give insight into the vast genealogical book of New Hampshire.
This program is funded by a grant from the NH Humanities Council. It is sponsored by the Atkinson Historical Society. Refreshments will be served.
Here's a haunting little reminder that we have an evening story time on Friday nights at 6:30 p.m.,for ages 4-8. Bring the little ones in their pajamas for PJ Peeps. Story and snack are included.
