Thunderstorms in the area late tonight through late tomorrow night
Think you need to shell out hundreds of cold, hard cash on pricey beauty creams and designer shampoos?
Labels on cosmetics and body care products are a tough code to crack.
You combine ingredients in your kitchen to create scrumptious dishes, but did you know you can also cook up some great beauty and skincare goodness?
This carefree look is ideal for summer but can be tricky to perfect.
What scents remind you of summer? Perhaps the bright sweet smell of fresh cut grass comes to mind, or the smoky warm scent of a campfire.
Summer is our favorite season for so many reasons, but mainly we just love a good excuse to dress in bright, bold, and lively prints.
There's nothing worse than seeing the telltale signs of dry skin just as summer arrives.
With sunshine peeking its head around the corner and warmer temps on their way, who has time for thick moisturizers and caked-on foundation?

About Audi RS4
The Audi RS4 is a top-tier, top of the line, highest performance variant of the Audi A4. The RS4 is manufactured and produced by Quattro GmbH, the high performance private subsidiary of Audi, which is part of parent company Volkswagen. The RS4 is the fastest, most performance oriented version of the A4, more so than even the S4. The RS4 includes unique styling over those of the A4 and S4 with its wider flared fenders to compensate for the wider track, and has more aggressively styled bumpers. The RS initials stand for RennSport, which directly translates to "Racing Sport" in english.
Built in limited numbers, the RS4 was first produced starting for the 2000 model year only to be discontinued after the 2001 model year. A total of 6,030 were built over the first production run, they were all wagons, but they were not available to the North American market.
In 2006 production resumed for the 2007 model year, and the RS4 was finally available to the United States as well. The RS4 was initially available as a 4-door sedan, soon after a wagon and convertible (cabriolet) were introduced as well. In addition to the flared fenders and aggressive bodywork, the RS4 also sports two functional side air vents for the cooling of two additional side mounted coolant radiators. With a high revving, all-aluminum 4.2L V8 engine that produces well over 400 horsepower mated to a 6 speed manual transmission and Audi's Quattro all wheel drive system standard, the car performs as awesomely as it looks. The car also included many new safety and comfort features to go along with all of that power to make one sweet ride all around. Approximately 10,000 were produced, with 2,500 making it to the US.

184 oil spec
So I just overhauled the motor in my 184 and changed the oil, I saw all the specs that IH recommended anywhere from SAE30 to straight 10w oil depending on outside temps with low ash recommended, now the only place that sells low ash around here is the airport for planes, currently I put 10w 30 in it with a bottle of zddp additive, and saw in the manual that the footnote said dont sub 10w 30 for 10w??? anyway, what weight oil do you guys run in your low boy's?????????
Re: 184 oil spec
I run straight 30w in the summer and 10w30 in the winter on my plow tractor.
Know Your Cub, And Your Cub Will Know You.
Re: 184 oil spec
I run 30wt all year long. Nice thing about 30wt is that it is shared by many of your typical yard machines - so you can save some coin by using the same oil in all your outdoor equipment. Some folks use whatever they use in their car or truck, but I prefer the 30wt.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: 184 oil spec
i'll try 30w then, thanks:)
Re: 184 oil spec
I had talked to Joe at Hamilton Bobs and he said Bob uses 10w30. I just changed my oil with some 10w30 Mobil Super and about 1/3 to 1/2 of bottle of Lucas Oil Stabilizer. Not sure if the old Oil was just that bad or what but it seems to Idle a little smoother. Its hard to say when the last time the Oil was changed as it was fairly dark
Re: 184 oil spec
I use the Mobil Delvac 15/40wt all summer in my fcub/154cubs. In my winter snowplow 154 cub i use 10/30wt in the winter. In my cub cadets in the summertime i use the 30wt and for the winter a 10/30wt or 10/40wt is required. You can also follow the owners manual too. I did notice with the air cooled cub cadet engines they use oil in the hotter weather/summertime when i tried 10/30wt or 10/40wt oil. I switched to the straight 30wt in the summertime and they used no oil at all. Plus there oil cooled too so the thicker oil will probably cool it better too. Walmart had the 30wt motor oil. The owners manual does suggest using the 5/30wt in extreme cold temps. Using a lighter oil weight allows the oil flow to get to the crankshaft, thru the oil filter and thru the oil system much faster. If the engine is running with no oil flow in the system yet you know what that means. Plus there is a big difference when a machine is kept inside and when its stored outside. Leave a quart of 30wt oil outside in the cold temps with a quart of 10/30 or 5/30 overnight and try to pour them in the morning.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

DALTON, Ga. — Police Chief Jason Parker was out for his morning run when he noticed something unusual – a possible burglary in progress. It ended in a foot chase and the arrest of a man suspected of theft.
It started when Parker spotted a man carrying a large bag of items across a neighborhood street. As the officer approached the man, the suuspect sped up, and cut through a yard.
The chief didn't have a cell phone with him but asked a couple also out on a morning stroll to call police. Parker shouted out t to the man, who quickly dropped a few items and took off. But it was no match as Parker, an avid runner, soon caught up with the 48-year-old man and held him down until other officers arrived.
"I just reacted the way any of our officers would," Parker said of the incident. "What started out as a chance encounter resulted in a great team effort."
The man was charged with obstruction of an officer, burglary and theft.
Details for this story were provided by The Dalton (Ga,) Daily Citizen.

Gender balance and diversity in NATO
Gender balance and diversity in NATO NATO is an equal opportunities employer committed to valuing everyone as an individual. Gender balance and diversity efforts have been mainstreamed in NATO Headquarters (HQ) policies and practices since 2002. They aim at addressing issues such as imbalance in gender, age and national representation in the International Secretariat (IS) of NATO. Recognizing diversity means respecting and appreciating those who are different from ourselves. Today, there are approximately 1200 civilian IS members in NATO HQ. Another hundred civilians serve in the International Military Staff (IMS). They all operate under Civilian Personnel Regulations, which provide that members of staff shall treat their colleagues and others, with whom they come into contact in the course of their duties, with respect and courtesy at all times. They shall not discriminate against them on the grounds of gender, race or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. Principles and priorities of gender and diversity at NATO HQ During the Prague Summit in November 2002, member countries tasked the IS to form a Task Force that would recommend to Council ways of improving gender balance and diversity in the NATO IS and civilian IMS workforce. Under the direction of the Deputy Secretary General, the Task Force started work in February 2003. The first report proposed an Action Plan, which was noted by Foreign Ministers on 2nd June 2003. In consultation with national delegations, the IS and the IMS, the Task Force defined four guiding principles for actively pursuing a diversity policy at NATO HQ: Ensuring fairness in recruitment and promotion; Ensuring the high quality of NATO personnel; Respecting the diversity of all Alliance members; and Agreeing only to set goals and use methods that embody a reasonable challenge. The Task Force therefore recommended a pragmatic approach with achievable goals. It focused on diversity issues that could be objectively defined and started its work by addressing the question of gender balance. It agreed no quotas would be set since recruitment in NATO is merit-based, and proposed the following objectives: To increase the overall number of women employed in the IS; To increase the overall number of women applying (especially to A and C Grade positions); To increase the overall number of women in managerial positions. Framework, monitoring and reporting A NATO-wide policy To substantiate the above-mentioned decisions, NATO adopted a NATO-wide Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy in 2003, applicable to the IS and civilian personnel in the IMS, as well as civilians in all NATO bodies and agencies. Separate policies against discrimination and harassment at work exist in NATO and several NATO bodies. Annual Progress Reports and Monitoring Reports are produced to outline achievements and trends and to put forward recommendations. Some numbers Currently¹ 1178 people serve in the NATO IS of which 37.2% are women. Female personnel represent 31% of the A-grade staff and 22.5% of the senior management in NATO. Of the civilian personnel in the IMS, 43.9% are women. The PDF Library on this page provides a more detailed breakdown of gender, age and national representation in the NATO HQ's civilian workforce. Mainstreaming diversity A series of practical initiatives have been implemented in-house and continue to constitute a priority for NATO's services: the NATO Organizational Development and Recruitment services reviewed all job descriptions and vacancy announcements in order to ensure gender neutrality in their formulation. In addition, for senior posts at grade A.5 and above, an external assessment centre may be used, which guarantees an additional level of culture-neutral professional assessment in line with NATO's merit-based recruitment principles. The Talent Management services work constantly on the personal and professional development of the NATO HQ workforce and provide specific training opportunities for women, as well as awareness-raising events for the entire IS. The team in the Personnel Support services is responsible for the general well-being of the NATO IS, whose health and balanced lifestyle are their priority. In 2004 the NATO Internship Programme was established, allowing young graduates to bring to NATO HQ their share of diversity and enthusiasm. The success of the programme led, in 2009, to its extension to all NATO bodies and agencies. 1. The numbers above are as of 30 January 2012. Action Plans Bearing in mind the current demographic trends in NATO member states, and the vast number of international public and private institutions competing for quality candidates, it is crucial for the Organization to position itself well in order to remain, and for some to become, an employer of choice. As the Organization changes in line with evolving political requirements and tasks, it is essential that NATO diversify qualifications and competencies of its workforce. The key to triggering sustained institutional change is mainstreaming the process of change, i.e., to fully weave it into the very fabric of the organization. This is why, for instance, the first Action Plan covering the period 2007-2010 identified the three following objectives: to establish and maintain a NATO Diversity Framework and Policy; to improve the NATO work environment; and to promote and improve NATO's image as an employer of choice. For each one of these objectives, annual targets were set within the Action Plan and the Progress Reports monitor developments each year. The next Action Plan should aim to shift work and efforts from diversity to inclusion. Diversity can be measured in numbers, but should not limit efforts to achieving balanced statistics. Rather, the aim would be to mainstream inclusion, which effectively means that efforts will be made to ensure that the diverse workforce will work well together.

Georgia, NATO's relations with
NATO's relations with Georgia Georgia is an aspirant for NATO membership, actively contributes to NATO-led operations and cooperates with the Allies and other partner countries in many other areas. The NATO-Georgia Commission provides a unique framework through which NATO and Georgia pursue active political dialogue and practical cooperation in support of Georgia's reform efforts and its Euro-Atlantic aspirations. In September 2008, NATO and Georgia established the NATO-Georgia Commission (NGC) to oversee NATO's assistance to Georgia following the conflict with Russia and to play a central role in supervising the process set in hand at the Bucharest Summit where NATO leaders agreed that Georgia will become a member of NATO. In December 2008, Allied Foreign Ministers agreed that Georgia should develop an Annual National Programme under the auspices of the NGC. In this framework, the Alliance is maximising its advice, assistance and support for Georgia's reform efforts, in particular in the field of democratic, institutional and defence reforms. At the 2012 Chicago Summit, Allied leaders reaffirmed all elements of their decision made at the Bucharest Summit, and welcomed Georgia's progress since then to meet its Euro-Atlantic aspirations through reforms, implementation of its Annual National Programme and active political engagement with the Alliance within the NGC. Since then, Georgia's conduct of transparent and peaceful parliamentary and presidential elections, in October 2012 and October 2013 respectively, has been welcomed as another concrete step towards meeting Euro-Atlantic standards. Another important area of cooperation is Georgia's support for NATO-led operations. Georgia is currently the largest non-NATO troop contributor to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and continues to serve as a transit country for ISAF supplies. The country has also indicated its willingness to participate in the post-2014 follow-on mission – Resolute Support - to train and assist Afghan security forces, after the transition to Afghan full security responsibility is completed at the end of 2014, when ISAF's mission will end. Georgia also supports Operation Active Endeavour, NATO's counter-terrorist maritime surveillance operation in the Mediterranean. Georgia has offered to participate in the NATO Response Force and is expected to contribute to the NRF in 2015. Framework for cooperation The NGC provides the framework for cooperation between NATO and Georgia. Created in September 2008, it serves as a forum for both political consultations and practical cooperation to help Georgia advance its Euro-Atlantic aspirations. Existing cooperation programmes, such as the Planning and Review Process (PARP), continue to take place within the framework of the NGC. A NATO Liaison Office was established in Georgia in 2010 to assist and support the country's reform efforts. In December 2008, NATO Foreign Ministers decided to further enhance the NGC through the development of an Annual National Programme (ANP). The ANP, the first of which was finalised in spring 2009, replaced the Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP), which has guided NATO-Georgia cooperation since 2004. In addition to Georgia's contributions to Euro-Atlantic peace and stability, key areas of cooperation under the ANP include political, military and security-sector reforms. NATO agrees to support Georgia in these reforms by providing focused and comprehensive advice and activities in several frameworks (both civilian and military) towards its reform goals. Current priorities for Georgia include transforming its public and private sectors in order to promote democracy, good governance, the rule of law and sustainable social and economic development, as well as reforming the defence and security sector, in particular the revision of Georgia's national security plans. Georgia also cooperates with NATO and other partner countries in a wide range of other areas through the Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). In parallel with the establishment of the NGC, the Military Committee with Georgia was also created as a format for meetings focused on military cooperation. The principal aim of NATO-Georgia military cooperation is to assist Georgia with the implementation of military and defence-related issues of the ANP, strategic planning, defence reforms and to increase interoperability in support of Georgia's contributions to NATO-led operations. The Military Committee with Georgia Work Plan defines key areas and objectives for military cooperation between NATO and the Georgian Armed Forces. The Work Plan comprises activities that help achieve the goals set in the ANP and PARP. Key areas of cooperation Security cooperation Thanks to regular participation in PfP training and exercises, Georgia has been able to contribute actively to Euro-Atlantic security by supporting NATO-led operations. Georgian troops worked alongside NATO troops in the peacekeeping operation in Kosovo from 1999 to 2008, providing a company-sized unit as part of the German brigade there and an infantry platoon within a Turkish battalion task force. Georgia is currently providing two infantry battalions serving with US forces in Helmand Province, an infantry platoon serving with the US contingent in Kabul, and a number of staff officers serving at various locations. With over 1,500 military personnel, Georgia is currently the largest contributor to ISAF among NATO's partner countries. Furthermore, Georgia is ready to continue to serve as a transit country for ISAF supplies. Georgia has also indicated its willingness to participate in the post-2014 NATO-led mission to train, advise and assist the Afghan forces, which will be deployed once the transition to Afghan security lead has been completed and ISAF's operation is terminated. The Georgian government has also pledged financial support for the future development of the Afghan National Security Forces. Georgia participates in NATO's Operation Active Endeavour, a counter-terrorist maritime surveillance operation in the Mediterranean, primarily through intelligence exchange. It also has a mountain training site, which is accredited as a Partnership Training and Education Centre and offers courses and training to Allies and other partner countries. Defence and security sector reform NATO is supportive of the wide-ranging democratic and institutional reform process underway in Georgia, as outlined in its ANP. Particularly in the area of defence and security sector reform, NATO and individual Allies have considerable expertise upon which Georgia can draw. Georgia's participation in the PARP since 1999 has helped develop the ability of its forces to work with NATO and is also providing planning targets that are key to security reform objectives in several areas. NATO support has, for example, helped Georgia build deployable units according to NATO standards and interoperable with Allied forces. Georgia's defence reform objectives within the PARP have facilitated improved financial management in the Ministry of Defence, assisted in reforming the intelligence structure of the armed forces and ensured that a credible Strategic Defence Review was conducted. A key priority for Georgia is to ensure democratic control of the armed forces, including effective judicial oversight and appropriate defence command and control arrangements through a range of measurable objectives within the ANP. Education and training are also key objectives of Georgia's ANP and reform efforts. NATO is leading a tailored programme for Georgia – the Defence Education Enhancement Programme (DEEP) – with the support of the PfP Consortium of Defence Academies and Security Studies Institutes, the Partnerships Training and Education Centres and Allied defence institutions. Following Georgia's request in 2008, NATO and Georgia launched a Professional Development Programme for Civilian Personnel in the Ministry of Defence and other Security Institutions in 2009. The programme provides training with the aim of strengthening the capacity for democratic management and oversight in the Ministry of Defence, as well as other security sector institutions. Training and education provided in the framework of this programme is closely aligned to Georgia's defence and security sector reform objectives outlined in both the ANP and PARP. Current priorities are to support Georgia's civil service reform and enhance Georgia's own capacity for providing training to security sector civilian personnel. Another priority in the area of defence and security sector reform has been to support demilitarization projects in Georgia through the NATO/PfP Trust Fund mechanism which allows individual Allies and partner countries to provide financial support to key projects on a voluntary basis. Over the years, a number of Trust Fund projects have helped to address problems posed by stockpiles of surplus and obsolete weapons and munitions, and promoted their safe disposal. Civil emergency planning Georgia is enhancing its national civil emergency and disaster-management capabilities in cooperation with NATO and through participation in activities organised by the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC). The Centre helped coordinate the delivery of hundreds of tonnes of relief items to Georgia in the wake of the August 2008 conflict. It also coordinated assistance to Georgia in 2005 when the country experienced some of the worst flooding in its history, in 2006 when forest fires broke out in southern Georgia, and after a major earthquake in 2009. Georgia itself hosted a major EADRCC consequence-management field exercise in the town of Rustavi in September 2012. Some 1,000 people from 35 countries participated in the exercise, which was organised in cooperation with the Emergency Management Department of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Science and environment Georgia has been actively engaged within the framework of the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme since 1994. The SPS Programme enables close collaboration on issues of common interest to enhance the security of NATO and Partner countries. By facilitating international efforts, in particular with a regional focus, the Programme seeks to address emerging security challenges, support NATO-led operations and advance early warning and forecast for the prevention of disasters and crises. Today, scientists and experts from Georgia are working to address a wide range of security issues, notably in the fields of environmental security, cyber defence, advanced technology (including nanotechnology) and disaster forecast and prevention of natural catastrophes. Most recently, Georgian experts contributed to a hands-on cyber defence training course based on their national experience and expertise. Other projects include collaboration on improving trans-boundary water management and mitigating the risks posed by earthquakes in the South Caucasus. Public information Increasing the public awareness of NATO and its relations with Georgia is also a key area of cooperation. Since 2002, in cooperation with local non-governmental organisations and state authorities, NATO, through its Liaison Office in Tbilisi, has been organising numerous activities to this end, including seminars, conferences and workshops. "NATO Weeks" and summer schools are organised on an annual basis to reach out to youth audiences. Groups of opinion leaders from Georgia are regularly invited to visit NATO Headquarters and the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) for briefings about the Alliance, and NATO officials regularly travel to Georgia to speak at public events. Senior NATO officials – including the Secretary General and the Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia – also regularly visit the country for high-level consultations. The North Atlantic Council, NATO's highest political decision-making body, paid a two-day visit to the country in September 2008, in the immediate aftermath of the Georgia crisis. The Council paid a second visit in November 2011 and another in June 2013. In every partner country an embassy of one of the NATO member states serves as a contact point and operates as a channel for disseminating information about the role and policies of the Alliance. The current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Georgia is the embassy of Romania. The Office of the State Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration has established an Information Center on NATO, which has its main office in Tbilisi and branches in Kutaisi and Zugdidi. Working in close cooperation with NATO's Public Diplomacy Division and with the NATO Liaison Office in Georgia, it is an important tool in raising public awareness about the Alliance in the country. Response to the Georgian crisis At an emergency meeting of the North Atlantic Council on 19 August 2008, Allied Foreign Ministers called for a peaceful and lasting solution to the conflict based on respect for Georgia's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Allied Foreign Ministers deplored the use of force in the conflict, which is inconsistent with the commitments to the peaceful resolution of conflicts that both Georgia and Russia have made under the Partnership for Peace as well as other international agreements. They expressed particular concern over Russia's disproportionate military action which is incompatible with Russia's peacekeeping role in the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Allies also called on Russia to take immediate action to withdraw its troops from the areas it must leave under the terms of the six-point agreement brokered by the European Union. The Allies agreed to support Georgia, upon its request, in a number of areas. These include assessing the damage to civil infrastructure and the state of the ministry of defence and armed forces; supporting the re-establishment of the air traffic system; and advising on cyber defence issues. On 27 August 2008, the North Atlantic Council condemned the decision by the Russian Federation to extend recognition to the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia, and called on Russia to reverse its decision. NATO continues to support Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognised borders as reiterated at meetings of Allied Heads of State and Government and in the Secretary General's statements. The Secretary General has issued statements underlining that NATO does not recognise elections that have since taken place in South Ossetia and Abkhazia and that the holding of such elections does not contribute to a peaceful and lasting settlement. The Allies welcome the declaration by the Georgian President – endorsed by the Georgian Parliament in a unanimously adopted resolution on Georgia's foreign policy objectives – to seek a resolution to the crises with the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of Georgia through peaceful means. They strongly support Georgia's current strategy of engagement with the two breakaway regions, which envisions a constructive way forward through fostering economic ties and people-to-people contacts to build confidence. The Allies also welcome the steps Georgia has taken unilaterally towards Russia in recent years, including the removal of visa requirements for Russian citizens, the agreement on Russia's membership of the World Trade Organization; as well as the direct dialogue that has been initiated with the Russian government by the Georgian government, which came into power in October 2012. Milestones in relations 1992 Georgia joins the newly created North Atlantic Cooperation Council (succeeded by the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in 1997). 1994 Georgia joins the Partnership for Peace (PfP), a programme aimed at increasing security and defence cooperation between NATO and individual partner countries. 1995 Georgia signs the PfP Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between the NATO and partner countries 1997 Georgian Parliament ratifies the SOFA agreement 1999 Georgia joins the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP).

In October, NATO Liaison Office is inaugurated during the NATO Secretary General's visit to Georgia, where he meets the Georgian President, Prime Minister and senior ministers. At the Lisbon Summit, Allied leaders recall their agreement that Georgia will become a member of NATO and reaffirm all elements of their decision made at the Bucharest Summit in 2008, declaring their active support for Georgia's continued implementation of all necessary reforms. They reiterate their continued support for Georgia's territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognised borders. In February, the Director General of the International Military Staff of NATO visits Georgia to discuss the status and prospect of NATO-Georgia military to military cooperation. 2011 In April, NGC Foreign Ministers meet in Berlin and adopt, for the first time, a joint statement which reaffirms the basic principles of NATO-Georgia cooperation.

Arizona Cardinals given updated logo for rest of the season
This is not the first time the Arizona Cardinals have received the new logo treatment from a website, but it might be the last.
@_Happy_Gilmore has created something for Arizona's NFL team and, unfortunately, it's not even inaccurate.
The Cardinals have lost seven straight games since starting the season 4-0, and are starting a quarterback who was taken in the sixth round of the NFL Draft less roughly seven months ago.
So yeah, while this logo stings a little, it's tough to argue against.
Attention ArizonaSports.com Comment Users: We have recently changed our comments boards.We would like you to be part of the conversation with all fans of Arizona sports teams by logging in with your Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Disqus account. Existing Arizona Sports (KTAR) account members will need to create a Disqus account or use one of the aforementioned social media logins. Thank you.

CARTHAGE, Mo. — The Missouri couple who won a $20 million lawsuit eight years ago against the makers of butter flavoring used in popcorn now claim they are broke.
Eric and Cassandra Peoples filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in federal court recently, claiming their home, 10.5 acres of land and other personal property assets amount to $733,000, and that they have more than $611,000 in liabilities.
Eric Peoples was awarded $18 million and his wife Cassandra $2 million in 2004 by a Jasper County jury in a lawsuit against International Flavors and Fragrances Inc. and Bush Boake Allen Inc., makers of a butter flavoring used at a popcorn plant where Eric Peoples worked.
At trial, doctors testified he had developed an irreversible lung disease by exposure to diacetyl, a chemical injected in popcorn to give it a butter flavor and aroma. They said he would eventually need a double-lung transplant.
The lawsuit garnered national attention at the time, resulting in several other settlements against the fragrance company for "popcorn lung" claims by workers at the plant.
It has never been clear how much of the $20 million went to the couple. At the time, Eric Peoples said the law firm representing he and his wife received 35 percent of the award. An unannounced portion was also set aside for other workers at the popcorn plant.
Among the liabilities listed by the Peoples in their bankruptcy petition was a $107,147 legal claim against them by the contractor who built the couple a luxury home estimated at $3.9 million at the time.
Among their personal property assets were two Honda automobiles, a Chrysler PT Cruiser and a Kawasaki Mule; a bedroom set, dryer, end tables, china, lamps, a VCR, $50 worth of camera equipment, and a microwave oven.
Details for this story were provided by The Joplin (Mo.) Globe.

Military training grounds can hold a wide range of biodiversity, from plant life, birds and insects on land, to marine life and mammals in the sea. Through research and implementation of new technology, alongside standardization of procedures and training, the Alliance has been working to improve its protection of the natural environments where it operates.
While fulfilling their military missions, NATO forces are committed to taking all reasonably achievable measures to protect the environment. These range from safeguarding hazardous materials (including fuel and oil), treating waste water, managing waste and reducing fossil fuel energy consumption, to putting environmental management systems in place during NATO-led activities.
To achieve this, commanders must know how NATO-led military activities affect and are affected by the environment. Strict ruleshave been adopted by many NATO countries, reflecting the growing awareness of protecting the environment. In line with these developments, NATO is facilitating the integration of environmental protection standards into all NATO-led military activities.

Education and training are key agents for transformation. They are complementary activities which reinforce each other. Education focuses on the function of explaining concepts, doctrines and practices and teaching procedures, for instance English language classes and history. Training focuses on practising and applying that knowledge, which helps to assimilate the subject matter completely. Exercises take training a step further by testing acquired knowledge during real-life or computer-assisted exercises with a scenario involving large numbers of participants from a broad range of countries.
Historically, NATO education and training has been focused on ensuring that military forces from member countries can work together effectively in operations and missions. Today, NATO education and training functions have expanded significantly both geographically and institutionally. Geographically, NATO is working with a larger number of countries through its cooperation with partner countries and through the creation of NATO training missions as far away as Afghanistan and Africa. Institutionally, education and training have been reinforced through the creation, in 2002, of Allied Command Transformation, entirely dedicated to leading the ongoing transformation of NATO's military structure, forces, capabilities and doctrine. Subsequently, the introduction of new bodies and initiatives has also demonstrated the resolve to reinforce education and training activities for the Organization.
At the Chicago Summit in 2012, NATO leaders stressed the importance of expanding education and training, especially within the context of the Connected Forces Initiative (CFI). CFI aims to ensure the ability of forces to communicate and work with each other. At the most basic level, this implies individuals understanding each other and, at a higher level, the use of common doctrines, concepts and procedures, as well as interoperable equipment. Forces also need to increasingly practise working together through joint and combined training and exercising, after which they need to standardize skills and make better use of technology.1
CFI seeks to make greater use of education, training and exercises to reinforce links between the forces of NATO member countries and maintain the level of interoperability needed for future operations.
1 Joint training means forces from two or more military departments working under a single command and combined forces are forces from different countries working under a single command.
