Residents in Copiah county say thieves are targeting residents in rural areas. In recent weeks, several house burglaries have occurred, in broad daylight.
When Barbara Jones came home earlier this week and noticed her screen door opened she knew something was wrong.
"My bedroom was ransacked, they took my television, all my stuff," said Jones. "I'm still going through it right now. They took my personal checks. "
Jones is one of several Copiah county homeowners who have been hit by burglars in recent weeks.
The thieves left a giant muddy shoe print on her front door that they kicked in.
The victims were mostly rural residents, where their nearest neighbor could be a half a mile away.
"I'm a good victim. I'm normally gone 12-14 hours a day," added Jones." I work in Jackson I work for MDOT. I left work so I can be home with my house, it's still unsecured."
"We are aware of the problem," said Copiah County Sheriff Harold Jones. "We are putting resources to work to catch those responsible. We also have a vehicle of interest we're investigating".

Financial status has paid big dividends for county
In the annals of Henrico's rich history, what happened one day in 1998 certainly wouldn't register high on the excitement scale or the public-interest barometer.
But on that day, the financial status of the county entered rarified air, elevating Henrico to a perch occupied by fewer than 30 other localities in the nation and giving it financial flexibility that most envy. On that day, when Fitch IBCA gave Henrico a triple-A (AAA) bond rating – the highest possible long-term rating – the county also became even more attractive to potential corporations looking for a home.
The Fitch IBCA announcement made Henrico one of just a small number of counties in the nation to hold AAA ratings from each of the three major bond-rating agencies (Moody's Investor Service and Standard & Poors Corp. had previously awarded the county their 'AAA' ratings in 1977).
Joining that 'triple AAA' group, which today numbers 34, solidified Henrico as one of the best-managed counties in the nation, too, and signaled its strength to businesses.
"Ratings really are the ultimate report card for a local government," Henrico Finance Director John Vithoulkas said. "It's a key component to our economic development strategy, because the large, savvy corporate clients like to look at things like triple-A ratings."
The achievement ranks No. 19 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the 24 most significant moments in Henrico's 400-year history.
Most Henrico citizens also have benefitted from what happened on that day in 1998, though they may not realize it.
The reason: the stronger a locality's rating, the lower the interest rates it's able to acquire when it sells long-term bonds to finance the construction of roads, schools and other capital improvement projects. When Henrico sells bonds to fund projects here, its flawless standing means that its rates are among the lowest available to any jurisdiction in the nation.
"These ratings are the highest possible and represent the greatest level of confidence by institutional investors in the fiscal affairs of these governments," County Manager Virgil Hazelett said. "Having one of these very rare ratings results in annual savings in the millions for our residents."
The lower rates allow Henrico to keep its debt service payments low each year; the county is expected to have a debt of about $499.9 million as of June 30, and its debt service payments in the 2011-12 fiscal year will represent less than 7 percent of its general fund budget. And county officials have been able to refinance debt on several occasions to save even more money.
The difference between an AAA-rated bond and a AA+-rated bond (the next highest classification) could be as much as 25 basis points, or about 0.25 percent, Vithoulkas said.
"That's a huge difference when you're issuing millions in bonds," Vithoulkas said.
Savings in the millions
In recent years, through four bond sales alone, the county saved more than $18 million. One of those sales occurred one day after the state of Virginia (also a triple triple-A-rated entity) sold bonds itself. Henrico's sale came in nearly 15 basis points lower.
"It was one of those, 'Did that just happen?' moments," Vithoulkas recalled.
During the past several years, Henrico has been joined on the triple triple-A list by neighbors Chesterfield and Hanover counties – giving the metro Richmond region a nearly unmatched financial triumverate. When combined with Virginia's triple AAA status, Vithoulkas said, "It's no coincidence that Virginia is always No. 1 or No. 2 in the listings of best states for companies to locate."
Henrico's proposed 2011-12 fiscal year budget calls for the sale of $33.3 million in general obligation bonds from a bond referendum approved by county voters in 2005. Another referendum is anticipated in coming years to fund additional school and general government projects.
Each time the county seeks to sell bonds, agencies issue ratings. County officials must hold conference calls or meet in person with the rating agency officials who are evaluating their credit-worthiness. County officials also visit the rating agencies every few years in New York to undergo thorough reviews of Henrico's finances.
"It's a very stressful time," Vithoulkas said, "because you basically are going up there and saying, 'Take a look at what we've done financially and give us a grade.' You're going up there with the [county's] operating budget, capital budget, long term financial plans, an audit of the county – basically a number of documents that represent how the county has been managed."
Since 1998, those trips have resulted in continued confidence from each agency.
"These ratings are something we have worked very hard to obtain over many years," Hazelett said. "While there have been a significant number of municipal downgrades during this difficult economy, I am very proud to say that Henrico remains at the top echelon for local governments.
"These ratings are something that many corporate entities look at when deciding where to locate or expand their businesses. Coupled with our low tax rate environment, excellent services, and high quality of life, Henrico is an extremely attractive location within the continental United States."

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Why We Love Apple Products
Why do we love Apple products? Because Apple makes products they want to use.
This quote from Steve Jobs in 1997 says it all (it's from 30 minutes into the video, below - though, it's worth watching the whole thing):
I think every good product that I've ever seen in this industry and pretty much anywhere, is because a group of people care deeply about making something wonderful that they and their friends wanted. You know? They want to use it themselves. And that's how the Apple I came about, that's how the Apple II came about, that's how the Macintosh came about. That's how almost everything I know that's good has come about. It didn't come about because people were trembling in a corner worried about some big company stomping on them. Because if the big company made the product that was right, then most of these things wouldn't have happened. If Woz and I could have went out and plunked down 2000 bucks and bought an Apple II, why would we have built one? We weren't trying to start a company; we were trying to get a computer.
Right after that, Jobs also made the excellent point that:
It's incredibly stupid for Apple to get into a position where for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose. That's really dumb. ... Apple can win without having Microsoft lose.
And, that has, in fact happened.

Baltimore Ravens
Jimmy Smith - #22 - CB
|6' 2"/ 205 lbs.
|Fontana, CA
|Years played
|2011, 1st round, 27th pick by Ravens
Kindle a solid scheme fit for Ravens
The Ravens got a first-round talent in OLB Sergio Kindle, who appears to have slid into Round Two because of questions about a knee injury.
Ravens backup QB Smith signs tender
Ravens backup QB Troy Smith has signed his tender as a restricted free agent.
Trade market hasn't yet developed for Gaither
The Ravens haven't had any "dialogue" with teams on RFA OLT Jared Gaither, GM Ozzie Newsome said this week, and they aren't in a position where they have to take just any offer for him.
Ravens terminate CB Rolle's contract
The Ravens terminated the contract of CB Samari Rolle on Tuesday. Rolle missed the 2009 season with a neck injury.
Ravens' PK situation fluid once again
The Ravens' interest in Shayne Graham is a clear indication the club isn't tied to having Billy Cundiff beginning the 2010 season as its placekicker.
Ravens agree on two-year deal with DL Redding
The Ravens have agreed to a two-year deal with UFA DL Cory Redding, the club announced Monday.
Ravens reach agreement with WR Mason
The Ravens and WR Derrick Mason have reached agreement on a two-year contract, the team's official Web site reported Wednesday night.
Early winners and losers in free agency
Here's a look at the teams that have spent the most wisely to this point and which ones overextended themselves after the first weekend of free agency.
Ravens get Boldin for reasonable price
The Ravens' acquisition of Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin was wise on several levels, not the least of which was that it filled a huge need for Baltimore.
Ravens acquire WR Boldin from Cardinals
The Ravens, in a bold move to bolster their passing offense, acquired Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin for third- and fourth-round picks in the 2010 draft.
Ravens willing to listen on QB Smith
Head coach John Harbaugh has left open the possibility that RFA QB Troy Smith could be dealt, but he indicated that the Ravens' preference was to keep him, save for a trade that would be "beneficial" to the club.
Ravens' Mason has been consistently productive
Ravens WR Derrick Mason remains tough to cover at age 36, and a multiyear deal for him to remain in Baltimore is not out of the question — or unreasonable.
AFC North team needs
The Bengals needed a stretch-the-field wide receiver to pair with 32-year-old Chad Ochocinco, so they signed ex-Buccaneers UFA Antonio Bryant, as PFW examines the needs of each team, position by position, in a series that continues with the AFC North.
Stallworth bolsters Ravens' WR depth, but other moves likely, too
The signing of Donté Stallworth bolsters the Ravens' WR depth before free agency begins, but more moves to bolster the pass-catching corps are likely, the way we hear it.
Ravens sign WR Stallworth
The Ravens signed veteran WR Donté Stallworth to a one-year, $900,000 contract Wednesday, with a reported $300,000 in incentives.
Smith is inactive for Baltimore's game against the New York Jets on Sunday night.||||||| Smith is nursing a high ankle sprain.
Smith was selected after some draft-night craziness. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome thought he had a trade with the Chicago Bears after getting confirmation from the league. But the Bears didn't follow through, and the Ravens were told to make their selection or drop back to 27th. While coach John Harbaugh was on the phone with Smith, Newsome desperately tried to make his pick. Time ran out, and Kansas City was placed on the clock.||||||| Smith supposedly dropped to late in the first round because he had a positive marijuana test while at Colorado. But the 6-foot-2, 205-pounder is a strong cover corner and should improve a defense that is not deep at the position.

TORONTO (AP) -- Matt Moulson scored a power-play goal with just over six minutes remaining, and the New York Islanders beat Toronto 5-2 on Tuesday night, handing the Maple Leafs their eighth straight home loss.
PA Parenteau breakaway goal less than two minutes later stretched New York's lead and caused a cascade of boos from disgruntled Maple Leafs fans. Moulson made it 5-2 with an empty-net goal.
It was another poor performance for the Maple Leafs, who were beaten 8-0 at Boston on Monday in their worst loss of a disappointing season. Toronto has recorded only 27 total shots in the back-to-back losses, including 14 against New York.
Josh Bailey and David Ullstrom also scored for the Islanders (30-32-11). John Tavares had three assists, and Parenteau added two.
Phil Kessel and Matthew Lombardi had goals for Toronto (32-34-8), 4-15-2 since Feb. 7.

Gay Times caught up with Charlie Le Mindu, Lady Gaga's one-time stylist and wig-maker extraordinaire to the stars…
Hair is the most versatile element of the human image, it frames the face, it exudes energy, hair speaks to people, and so wild hair has always been of paramount importance to popstars, hair sells. But in a digital age where celebrity culture moves faster than journalists can type and new songs are released quicker than they can be sung, how can hairstyles keep up with the egos and ambitions of the 21st century? Answer = Charlie Le Mindu.
A-Listers and editors are left gaping in awe at the iconographic history that Charlie Le Mindu is weaving. The world's most visual stars are queuing to have their famous heads plonked under one of Charlie's fabulous barnets, and his creations can be seen across the charts. One minute he'll do Peaches up to look like an auburn heap of pre-raphaelite electro skank, the next day he'll spin out one of Gaga's most monolithic mops, marching her off with it fearlessly into the mainstream.
Charlie made a name for himself sending models down the catwalk naked except for their psychopathically large wigs. His wigs sometimes envelope and engulf the wearer, he has women wearing wigs across their whole bodies, walking through their own wigs, indeed - being walked by their wigs.
So we caught up with criminally cool Charlie for a chat when he was in London last month promoting his new show Charlie's Treatment.
Greetings Mr Le Mindu. When did you first see a wig and think 'Wow'?
Well it was obviously on my mum, when she gave birth to me, it looked like I was wearing an afro. Otherwise it's my idol Cher, she is soooo amazing, I wish she'd adopted me! Haha!
Who's the greatest wig-wearer of them all?
Nina Hagen has the best wigs!
Can hair be too gay? Is there something to be said about a boy with just nice normal hair?
Hair is definitely not gay, gay is in the attitude. Look at Bieber babe, he looks like a lesbian and he is St-rr-Aight!
Tell us about Peaches.
I love Peaches, she is one of the people I love most in the world. It started in Berlin when I was doing this crazy pop-up Salon in a nightclub ran by her boyfriend Conny. It was an amazing experience, Peaches came up to me in this dark room where I was doing clubbers' hair and she liked my style, took me onboard, and that's it – we're friends now. I love everything about Peaches, she is incredible.
Drag queens are an important part of wig culture. Are you a fan of drag?
No not really, well - it depends. The drag people I like I (delete) don't really seem to be drag queens to me, like they're not old school drag, like I love Andre J, it's just him and I love it. Of course old drag queens can make you laugh, but can I tell you a secret?
(Whispers, deadly serious) I have a phobia of Christmas and drag queens remind me of Christmas trees.
Moving on - I remember being turned on by this Pierre et Giles portrait of a naked young man facing a mirror in a white period wig. Do elaborate wigs and sex go?
Wigs and sex for me is the same! Sex is the most important market in the world and one of my biggest inspirations, from vanilla to S&M, all the inspiration is there in my work. Sex! Wigs! Sex!
Have you heard of Whigfield?
What like Saturday Night? The 90s hit? Hehe. I'm more of a depressive type and listen to stuff like Diamanda Galas - Gloomy Sunday.
Describe the most reckless party you've ever been to…
I think it was NYE this year to be honest, oh my God I had so much fun and met someone really cool people. It was with my best friend Anna, partying all night, so good I can't remember it.
What do we think of Simon Cowell's hair?
His hairdresser is the best in the world I just can't understand it though - a flat top with a middle parting? Still, better than Grace Jones.
Finally, which guy has the sexiest hair in the world RIGHT NOW?
Make sure to tune into Charlie Le Mindu's new online style series called Charlie's Treatment on http://www.konbini.com/

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A man is in the hospital after a shooting that stemmed from a road rage incident Monday afternoon in East Knox County.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office has charged Rodney Lee Scott, 61, with attempted first degree murder. He is being held on a $1,010,000 bond.
Deputies say Scott almost hit two motorcyclists, Tyler Lakin, 23; and J.R. Trisler, 33; with his Saturn SUV while exiting I-640 onto Washington Pike just before 4 p.m. Monday.
Officers say the two waved their arms at Scott to make sure he saw them. Witnesses say the motorcyclists proceeded to follow Scott. During their pursuit, witnesses say Scott made obscene gestures at Lakin and Trisler before backing into Trisler, knocking him over.
One witness, Joseph Jackson, helped Trisler get the motorcycle up. Jackson witnessed most of the incident.
"It was two motorcycles that pulled up beside me and asked me to call the law and said they'd been hit during a hit and run," Jackson said.
The bikers reportedly followed Scott to his home, where they waited in the street for police to arrive.
Neighbors say Scott began shouting racial slurs at the motorcyclists, went into his garage, and came out with a gun in each hand shooting at the men in the street.
Lakin was shot three times in the back and once in the wrist. Deputies say Scott continued to shoot at Lakin as he lay on the ground.
A Knox County Sheriff's Office detective was the first to arrive on the scene and arrested Scott without incident.
Lakin was taken to UT Medical Center where he is listed in stable condition.
Detectives believe there are more witnesses to the road rage incident and ask that anyone who saw what happened to contact KCSO at (865) 215-2243.
Prior incidents
Deputies say this is not the first road rage incident involving Rodney Lee Scott. He was charged with assault in March 2002 for stopping a car on Millertown Pike and assaulting one of the passengers.
The victim said she was at the red light on Mall Road South at Millertown Pike when Scott got out of a White Plymouth van and approached her vehicle, yelling and screaming at the woman and her children.
She said Scott was slapping the window of her vehicle. Her minor son then got out of the vehicle and asked Scott what was wrong. Scott then grabbed at the boy's shirt, continued to yell, grabbed the boy's hat and threw it into the vehicle.
The boy had a visible scratch on the side of his face.
Scott then fled the scene. He was given judicial diversion in the case.
Lakin and Trisler also have criminal histories in Knox County. Lakin had been charged in the past with driving under the influence, drug possession and reckless driving. Trisler had been charged in the past with assault, driving on a revoked license and drug possession.

Deal struck for new Great Western line trains
A new train maintenance plant will be built in Swansea, after a £4.5billion deal for new intercity express trains was announced by the UK Government today.
Under the agreement, Agility Trains, a consortium led by Hitachi of Japan, will build 596 rail carriages at a new factory in County Durham.
The Intercity Express Programme (IEP) project will see the current fleet of Intercity 125 trains replaced.
On the Great Western Main Line from London to Swansea, the new trains will enter service in 2017.
The IEP deal follows last week's announcement of further electrification on the Great Western Main Line between London and Swansea.
Together, the new trains and infrastructure will offer the potential for journey time savings of 15 minutes in Swansea to London journeys.
– Transport Secretary Justine Greening
A new train factory is fantastic news for Britain and will be welcomed by everyone who wants to see a thriving UK manufacturing sector.

Markel Homes acquires land from hospital
Last Updated: 15:02 February 14, 2014
An affiliate of Markel paid $800,000 to the Community Hospital Association for the land, which sits just north of the intersection of W. South Boulder Road and Cimarron Drive near Lafayette's border with Louisville.
Markel Homes president Michael Markel said his company is under contract to purchase an adjacent five-acre piece of land to the west that will also become part of the new neighborhood. That land abuts the Louisville border to the west, and also abuts Phase II of the North End development that Markel is building on the east edge of Louisville.
Michael Markel said it was largely coincidence that the new land purchases fell next to North End, though he said the two neighborhoods will have some connectivity eventually.
"The property was up for sale," Markel said. "We think it's a good opportunity, and we think it's a good location."
Blue Sage will include homes with a mix of front- and alley-loaded garages, with lots ranging in size from 5,000 to 7,000 square feet. Homes will range from 2,200 to 2,800 finished square feet and from roughly $400,000 to $600,000 in price - comparable to the single-family homes in North End.
The neighborhood will feature a mix of ranch, single-level and two-story homes.
"We'll have some designs that will be totally fresh to the area," Markel said.
In addition to the homes, Markel is dedicating a park area to the homeowners association as well as some open space and a trail to the city of Lafayette. The trail will connect Lafayette to the North End area, which includes some commercial and retail aspects in addition to the townhomes, lofts and single-family homes there.
Markel said his company is set to close on the second parcel of land in March, and is working through the development review process with the city of Lafayette now. He said Markel Homes would likely break ground on Blue Sage about a year from now, with the first homes coming online in about 15 to 18 months.
Markel's Blue Sage project is not affliated with the newly formed financial firm Blue Sage Advisory LLC.

What the Deep Six Hip Muscles Do
The group of hip muscles called the deep six is a set of small muscles, deep inside the hip, that laterally rotate the leg in hip joint. What that means in practical terms is that they turn the leg outward. When, in Pilates or another fitness class, the instructor says "turn your leg out in the hip socket", they want you to engage the deep six. For dancers, these are important "turnout" muscles.
The deep six, in concert with other muscles, are also hip stabilizers and hip extensors. When you walk, for example, the deep six help stabilize and open the hip of the working leg (the one not freely moving forward. When the legs are fixed, meaning that they can't respond to the deep six muscles by turning out, activating the deep six move the tailbone, pubic bone and iliac spine (top, front of the hip bone) up. That is a lifting and decompressing action, very useful to all, especially people suffering from problems associated with hip compression such as bursitis and arthritis.
When you to engage an outward wrap of the thighs in a spiral that lifts up under your butt near your sit bones while keeping your legs in a fixed position, you are taking advantage of the hip opening, and pelvis and spine lifting, qualities of the deep six. Exercises like pelvic curl and shoulder bridge where the legs must stay parallel but the pelvis lifts, sit bones reach for the knees, and the spine lengthens out of it call for this kind of action. Another plus is that the inner thighs oppose the outward rotation of the deep six. Therefore, when you work your deep six, you work your inner thighs.
Where the Deep Six Hip Muscles Are
The deep six get their name because they are deep inside the hip, under more famous butt muscle, the gluteous maximus. They all attach to the inside of the inside of the greater trochanter which is the bulb at the top of your thigh bone that goes into the the hip socket. They fan out to different locations around the low pelvis. Please see the image above.
The deep six hip muscles are, from top of the fan to bottom
- piriformis
- gemellus superior
- obturatur internus
- gemellus inferior
- obturatur externus
- quadratus femoris
Because the deep six are under the gluteus maximus, typically one of the strongest muscles in your body, they are often overshadowed by it. Many people try to get the effect of the deep six muscle action by squeezing their glutes. This can lead to compression around the tailbone and sacrum, and inhibit freedom of movement at the hip. Also, over recruitment of the glutes means over development of the glutes (butt muscles). Learning to activate the deep six can help some people gain the physical awareness that can help them get over "clenching the butt". When you have the glutes and deep six working in balance you have a much better functioning, and probably better looking, hip and butt area.
It is also interesting to note that many lower body nerves thread through and around the deep six muscles. The sciatic nerve, in particular, moves behind the piriformis and an overactive piriformis muscle contributes to sciatic pain in some people.
The Deep Six in Action
I hope this introduction to the deep six hip muscles will help you recognize their action in your own body. Those who would like to know more about the individual actions of each muscles should consult a detailed anatomy book. We train our awareness of the deep six a lot in Pilates. Hip opening with the exercise ball is very good for that. Here are a few Pilates exercises where you might recognize the deep six in action, both turning the legs are turned out, and/or bringing the sacrum forward and decompressing the hip joint:
Anytime you use Pilates Stance or a wide turned out position. For example:
Exercises that use Frog Legs - see frog with exercise band
Footwork Exercises - see: footwork on the mat, standing, reformer and chair.

James Hackney of L'Espalier will tell you how Maleson just showed up at the restaurant's door, his car overflowing with the most exquisite mushrooms Hackney had ever seen. As all of his customers affirm, the guy knows his 'shrooms. "Ben can talk your ear off [about mushrooms]," says Hackney. A former leather worker, Maleson now spends his days and nights hunting for wine caps, morels, and fumizukis. "He's introduced me to so many varieties that I've never seen before," says Tim Wiechmann, chef-owner of Cambridge's T. W. Food. (What Maleson won't disclose – and what no one dares to ask – is where he makes his amazing scores.)
But Maleson is just one member of an unconventional cast of characters that Boston chefs have increasingly come to rely on. At a time when even chain restaurants are claiming to serve artisanal fare, being able to present truly handcrafted or locally grown ingredients gives dedicated cooks a serious leg up. And when those specialty purveyors have a laser focus on only a few foodstuffs, it yields quality you just won't get from Sysco.
Lourdes Smith of Fiore di Nonno is another singular-product sensation. Working out of her Somerville kitchen, Smith – who comes from a family of Italian cheesemakers – makes small-batch cheeses like mozzarella, and that's about it. Jody Adams of Rialto is particularly taken with Smith's mascarpone burrata. "It's so fresh," Adams raves. "You can tell it hasn't been sitting in brine. The firm texture on the outside gives way to this creamy mascarpone mixture in the center."
On the sweet side, Eduardo Kreindel is the Argentinean force behind the locally based Giovanna Gelato. While his pints can be found in some of the area's top gourmet markets, his custom creations – everything from olive oil gelato to gazpacho sorbet – are what get chefs' attention. Tavolo's Chris Douglass and Max Thompson are always brainstorming flavors with Kreindel, such as the champagne-strawberry combo they served on Valentine's Day.
But while most discerning chefs seek out artisans to deliver their delicacies, Tremont 647′s Andy Husbands took it a step further: He hired one. Having fallen in love with traditional Tibetan momos (filled dumplings) while working at East Coast Grill, Husbands knew he'd serve them at his own restaurant. Tsering Dongshi is now, among other things, 647′s momo expert. "Tsering grew up in Tibet, so they're as authentic as you can get," Husbands says. Thirteen years later, momos remain the most popular menu item – owing, no doubt, to the artisan's skills. "Watching him fold the dough is phenomenal," his boss says. "They're little purses of love."

Two Early County bank robbers remain on the run nearly a month after pulling off an armed heist in Arlington.
The robbers were heavily disguised but investigators hope someone out there knows who they are.
These robbers meant business when they held up the Bank of Early in Arlington November 26th.
Bank surveillance video captured the suspects who had their faces covered. They were also covered head to toe.
They rushed in the bank around 2:30 in the afternoon and demanded money from the tellers. They got away with an undetermined amount of cash.
Search dogs were brought in, but they couldn't track down the robbers. It is thought though they got away in SUV possibly a Ford Explorer or a Bronco.
Whoever these robbers are they were experienced and calm in pulling off their crime. One thing investigators hope will lead to their arrest is the $2, 500 reward being offered in the case.
The Bank of Early robbers become two of WALB's most Wanted.
If you have any helpful information call the GBI Sylvester Office or Arlington Police at 725-4211.

The Denver Broncos had their second preseason game of the year and were able to go into halftime against the Seattle Seahawks with a slight lead. The second half was not as productive as the Broncos eventually lost 30 to 10. Saying all that, there is still a lot to be excited about in the Mile High City. The starters on offense and defense look strong as the regular season nears.
The Broncos start off the 2012 preseason with a convincing win over the Cutler-less Chicago Bears. Peyton Manning was limited in action but looks like he is coming along nicely after missing all of last season. The Broncos dominated this game from start to finish including all aspects of the game. Tune in and see what Bronco Planet is saying about Peyton Manning's first win as a Bronco!

Here's a look at the Browns' top five team MVP candidates through five games.
1. RB Peyton Hillis — Even when he's not 100 percent, as he was in Week Five because of a quad injury, Hillis brings something to the offense. He made an impressive snag of a Seneca Wallace pass for a 19-yard TD, deflecting the ball first with his left hand, then securing it with both hands. Hillis was limited to 28 yards on 10 carries but did catch four passes for 49 yards.
2. S T.J. Ward — The rookie from Oregon has made a big impact both on defense and on special teams. In the kicking game, he came up big late in the second quarter, blocking a Falcons 30-yard field-goal attempt and preserving a 7-6 lead into halftime. On defense, Ward added six tackles and leads all Cleveland defenders with 43.
3. OLB Scott Fujita — Fujita continues to thrive in the Browns' 3-4 scheme. Early in the third quarter, he sacked Falcons QB Matt Ryan and forced a fumble fumbled by Browns DE Kenyon Coleman, the second consecutive week he has stripped a passer of the ball on a sack. Overall, Fujita has 27 tackles, 2½ sacks and two forced fumbles this season.
4. QB Seneca Wallace — Wallace played exceptionally well before suffering an ankle injury late in the first half of the Browns' loss to Atlanta, completing 11-of-15 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown and compiling a sparking QB rating of 124.0. Wallace has steadily improved since his first start vs. Kansas City, and if the injury costs him any playing time, it will be a shame, for he really impressed against the Falcons.
5. TE Benjamin Watson — Watson has been the Browns' most consistent receiver this season. Targeted seven times in Week Five, Watson caught five passes for 45 yards. He has caught 23 passes for 230 yards with one TD in five games.

With 22 medals, 18 of them gold, Baltimore swimmer Michael Phelps has brought home more Olympic hardware than any other athlete. Six of those came in 2012 at the London Olympics, where his mixed performance underscored the rarity of Phelps' achievement at Beijing in 2008, when he won eight golds.
His accomplishments netted him international fame and helped the sport of swimming: USA Swimming has said membership rose 11 percent after the Beijing Olympics, and viewership and attendance of the 2012 Olympic Trials in swimming also jumped dramatically, according to Sports Illustrated.
Phelps has been a force for aquatics off the Olympic podium as well. In 2008, he used his $1 million bonus from sponsor Speedo to establish the Michael Phelps Foundation, an advocacy group that educates kids about swimming, water safety, fitness and character through partners as diverse as the Boys & Girls Clubs and Special Olympics. Phelps' organization also provides financial grants to talented young athletes to support their training.

This page contains information about cost estimates for the Semester in London program. It is possible that any of these cost estimates could change.
These direct costs include the expenses for all group trips and theatre visits, but not for food, personal expenses, personal travel, entertainment, and special purchases. Also, the flight cost is an estimate, which may change as airlines respond to rising fuel costs. We estimate that the minimum cost of food and other necessary personal expenses will be nearing $4000.
The amount students should budget for personal expenses and travel is a personal decision and varies significantly from student to student. Discretionary travel on the Continent is expensive and prices in London are high, with many opportunities to spend more than the amount estimated above.
For more detailed cost information, please refer to the detailed cost sheet-- *The 2013 Estimate of Costs Sheets is coming soon*
Students who receive financial aid have usually found that their aid packages can be adjusted to help meet the increased cost of study abroad. Financial Aid can be used to cover or support all program costs except the airfare. The Binghamton Office of Financial Aid Services can only consider the applications of students matriculated at Binghamton University for degree study. Other SUNY and non-SUNY students should contact the Financial Aid office at the home university for information about eligibility for all aid programs.

There is limited scholarship assistance for students interested in the London Program. Of primary interest is the Benjamin A. Gilman national scholarship. For more information please see our Scholarships web page.

I like what someone has been doing with the Railway Street/Corporation Street flats.
even on a dull day this looks cheerful, the kind of place you wouldn't mind coming home to. I couldn't have imagined saying that about Liberty House flats before.
nobody's got carried away with big architectural statements, just a gentle make-over, but I'm guessing a lot of work went into this project.
a couple of blocks haven't been up-graded yet, or maybe there's a different plan for this one.
Maybe everyone else knows about this, I hadn't heard anything. This looks like a very good scheme, probably working within a tight budget, delivering a hell of an improvement to a lot of peoples' lives.
This can't be the Corpo?

Reviews for Sweet Potato Cinnamon Bread
Sort By :
This was such a big hit with my friends. It was simple to make, and the flavour was really good. I accidentally added more sweet potato than was called for, but it still turned out just perfect. It made 7 loaves for me.
I got 7 mini-loaves. I made several batches of this sweet potato bread for "little Thanksgiving gifts". Everyone loved them. This recipe is a keeper, thank you!
Absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This recipe is a perfect blend of seasonings - so very tasty! It does NOT, however, make 4 mini loaves. I filled 4 pans 3/4 full & had lots of left over batter. So greased up 2 more pans & divided the batter equally amongst the 6 & the batter still almost filled up the pans. And yes, I used the 5-3/4-in. x 3-in. x 2-in. loaf pans. Another Taste of Home recipe on this site: "Sweet Potato Mini Loaves" is almost identical to this one & states it makes 6 mini loaves.
This is a very good quick bread. Moist & a good balance of sweet & spice. I used the mini loaf pans as suggested, and there was enough batter left to make 1 9x5 loaf. I thought the yeild note at the battom of the recipe was misleading, but it is obvious there will be more than 4 mini loaves.

Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano took home FOTN honors at last night's TUF 17 Finale in Las Vegas, but Zingano earned the late TKO victory and a title shot against UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. Tate was battered with hard knee strikes by Zingano in the 3rd, prompting Kim Winslow to call the fight off. When asked if the fight was stopped too soon, Tate had this to say: (Quotes from MMA Fighting)
"I do," Tate bluntly responded. "But I just know how I felt inside the cage. I haven't had a chance to actually go back and watch it, but [Winslow] came in and told me before we left the locker room that, 'If I warn you to move, all I need to know is that you want to stay in the fight.' And I felt that I did that. I got from the bottom, up. I got kneed a few times on the way, tried to shoot another shot, and the fight was stopped. I didn't feel like I was out of the fight."
She then went on to add:
"[Winslow] told me, 'Show me something.' I don't know what you want. You know, I sat up, I shot a double, I got back to my feet. I took some damage because of that, because I was trying to listen to the referee, and she f--king stopped the fight. What do you want, you know?"
I can't say I agree with Tate here. She took multiple undefended knees to the face and looked just about out on her feet. For as much stick as Kim Winslow gets for being a poor referee (much of it perfectly justifiable), she absolutely made the right call in stopping it.
It should be noted that Tate was up 20-18 on two of the judges' scorecards, so unless Zingano notched a 10-8, Tate was likely on her way to a split decision win.
UFC president Dana White had "no problem" with the stoppage, and praised the overall quality of refereeing last night.

By Neil H. Dempsey
Staff Writer
---- — PEABODY — Police arrested a Danvers man yesterday after he allegedly robbed a woman while she was walking down Endicott Street just after midnight.
Gregory Hardin, 50, of 18 MacArthur Blvd. was charged with unarmed robbery.
Around 12:30 a.m., a 22-year-old woman contacted police to report that a man had accosted her near 13 Endicott St. and stolen her purse, Detective Michael Crane said in a press release.
The woman reportedly fell to the ground during the struggle, though no injuries were reported.
With the help of a state police dog, officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect, who was described in the police log as a dark-skinned man, about 6 feet tall and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt.
According to the log, a taxi driver told police that he had seen a man matching that description in the vicinity of the Courthouse Pub at 43 Central St. — the same location where Hardin was taken into custody around 10:30 a.m., after he was identified as a suspect and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Police did not elaborate on any connection between Hardin and the Courthouse Pub.

The second Cartier 'Travel with Style' Concours showcased an extraordinary collection of India's unique Classic Cars on Saturday at The Polo Grounds, New Delhi.
Jury Member Yasmin Le Bon and daughter Amber soaked up the atmosphere at the event.
The weather looks absolutely divine. I'm so jealous.
Yasmin kept cool wearing a Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2011 one-shoulder silk print dress with gold peep-toes.
Her daughter – who could easily pass as her sister – opted for a Jonathan Saunders sleeveless print dress with a side split from the Resort 2011 collection, which she teamed with some cool shades.
The mother and daughter have height, beauty, perfect olive skin, brunette locks and great taste in clothes in common.
Don't you just hate them? j/k
