Foundation For The Carolinas offers several collective giving opportunities. Collective giving, commonly known as giving circles, allows like-minded people to pool their money, research community needs and decide as a group where to give grants. Giving together magnifies the power of philanthropy.
Unlike solitary charitable giving, being part of a collective giving group can enrich the philanthropic experience. Collective giving is a participatory process that includes educational activities, proposal review, collective decision-making, volunteerism and site visits to nonprofit organizations.
Four collective giving funds are operating currently under the Foundation For The Carolinas' special programs umbrella:
Charlotte Lesbian and Gay Fund advances philanthropy within and for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered communities in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg region. Members donate $1,000 per year to provide grants to nonprofit organizations that serve the needs of the LGBT community and to fund bridge-building initiatives that cultivate alliances with the non-gay community.
Impact Fund for Emerging Philanthropists - After 10 years of grantmaking and community engagement, Foundation For The Carolinas is taking the opportunity to review and redesign the Impact Fund program, resulting in a hiatus for 2010-2011. We will keep you updated as our work on the Impact Fund progresses and look forward to engaging you in the work of the Foundation in the future.
New Generation of African American Philanthropists promotes the giving of time, talent and treasures among African Americans in the Charlotte region. Members pledge $1 per day for three years and invest the resources into nonprofit groups and causes that address issues adversely affecting a disproportionate number of African Americans.
Teen Impact Fund members learn about philanthropy, engage in team-building activities, and identify community needs. After a 10-month training period, the Foundation provides a $10,000 pool of funds, and the teens award grants to programs that address challenges facing today's youth. There is no financial obligation to participate.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Antrel Rolle intercepted two passes by Alex Smith, Prince Amukamara picked off another and the Giants shut down San Francisco in a 26-3 victory over the 49ers on Sunday in a rematch of last season's NFC championship game.
After outscoring the Bills and Jets by a combined 79-3 the last two weeks, the 49ers (4-2) met their match again with Eli Manning and New York's top team. No overtime needed this time, and not much of Manning either.
Manning threw for 193 yards and one touchdown, Ahmad Bradshaw ran for 116 yards and a score and the Giants (4-2) rode a dominant defense and four field goals by Lawrence Tynes to hand outspoken 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh the most lopsided loss of his tenure.

The cost of each unit offered in 2015 can be viewed from the Unit Search.
Please note that the fees per unit/credit point may increase annually due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.

Today Africa is facing the most notorious gang of armed robbers in history. Africa is like the house. Libya is like the security door. U.S.-NATO bombing is like the robbers using a concrete block to beat open the door. If they open up Libya with their bombing, it will enable the armed robbers to enter with their weapons pointed at the entire African family. Kwame Nkrumah stated, "Military strategy presupposes political aims; all military problems are political and all political problems are economic." The basis and motive for the U.S.-NATO invasion of Libya is economic.

Brant's Predictions
NFL.com Gil Brant had the followng to say about the Vikings:
Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings had the fourth-ranked offense in 2004 but the 28th-ranked defense, giving up 395 points. The defense produced only 11 interceptions last season and needs to create takeaways like it did in 2003, when it had 28 picks. The unit should be helped by the additions of cornerback Fred Smoot through free agency, linebacker Napoleon Harris by trade and defensive end Erasmus James in the draft. The Vikings lost two very good offensive players with the trade of Randy Moss to the Raiders and the season-long suspension of running back Onterrio Smith. The return of tight end Jim Kleinsasser, who missed all but one game last year, should help the running game, which was ranked fourth in 2003 but dropped to 18th last season. Steve Loney takes over as offensive coordinator and he will try very hard to bring the running game back to where it was prior to 2003, but the Vikings need center Matt Birk to be healthy. Like the Packers, the Vikings play tough out-of-division road games, traveling to Cincinnati, Atlanta, Carolina and Baltimore.
Here's his predictions:
NFC playoff teams: Arizona, Atlanta, Carolina, Dallas, Minnesota and Philadelphia
Leading passer: Daunte Culpepper, Minnesota
Leading rusher: Julius Jones, Dallas
Receptions leader: Joe Horn, New Orleans
Rookie of the Year: Cedric Benson, Chicago
NFC MVP: Culpepper

When you require nothing, you get nothing; when you expect nothing, you will find nothing; when you embrace nothing, all you will have is nothing.
Re: Brant's Predictions
Wasn't this already posted under some other title? The predictions look alot like something that I saw a few weeks ago...no way Julius Jones leads the league in rushing...not so sure about Joe Horn leading in receiptions, either!BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE
Re: Brant's Predictions
11 interceptions, thats painful! Oh well...here's to more this year! It also seems to me that most people are picking Daunte as leading passer, I think it's a good pick, but I hope it's not the kiss of death!

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Students at IUPUI are working to help feed their classmates through a new food pantry on the downtown Indianapolis campus.
The pantry that opened Wednesday was the brainchild of social work major Erin Sass and mechanical engineering major Joe Spaulding.
WTHR-TV reports pantry organizers found nearly one in three IUPUI students qualified for free lunches during high school. An estimated 20 percent of students are "food insecure" and uncertain where their next meal is coming from.
Pantry customer Dejah Miles says the pantry allows her to focus on her studies and not worry about how to pay for meals.
The food pantry is open two mornings and evenings a month. Organizers hope donations increase as more students learn of the panty and depend on it.

Part of the Lemont oil refinery damaged by a huge fire could be back online by the end of next week.
Citgo officials say they're moving to restart the damaged unit.
The fire burned for hours late last Wednesday and residents could see it from miles around.
The refinery has been able to produce gas from oil already in its system, but until the damaged unit is back on, it can't bring in any new oil.
The refinery produces gas for the Chicago area and states across the Midwest.

It's finally done.
With Michigan's loss to Michigan State in the Big Ten final, the Wildcats swap places with the Wolverines in Chris Dobbertean's final projection of 2014.
After reviewing everyone's selection sheet one last time, SB Nation's resident bracketologist has one final change to his field of 68. The Horizon League runner-up Phoenix replace Larry Brown's...
Saturday's action didn't change the situation on either side of the NCAA Tournament cut line all that much. And that shouldn't change much on Sunday, since the afternoon's power conference...
Surprisingly, Saturday afternoon's games didn't do much of anything to alter the bubble picture. No at-large lost its place in the field, and the backlog of teams sitting beyond the cut line may...
Selection Week Friday was only a good day for the bubble teams already present in that morning's projection. As a result, there are are no new at-large teams in Chris Dobbertean's Selection Eve...

Georgetown County high school students will all be taking PACE classes together in Georgetown when the new school year begins in August.
PACE, which is an acronym for Program for Accelerated College Enrollment, allows high school juniors and seniors to earn credits for classes that they would have taken during their freshman and sophomore years in college.
Since classes have been offered at all four county high schools, class size has ranged from 15 to 20 at some schools, to less than 10 at others.
All students enrolled in the program will now be bused to the Beck Administration and Education Center in Georgetown, which houses the school districts offices. Senior classes will be in the mornings, and junior classes in the afternoon. Parents can also choose to transport their child to the center, or allow the child to drive themselves.
In most cases, students will be required to take two classes per semester.
Patti Hammel, the school districts executive director for Student Performance and Federal Programs, told the School Board on Tuesday night that some classes might still be scheduled at individual schools if too many students enroll, or a student gets permission to only take one class.
Horry-Georgetown Technical College had agreed to provide teachers as long as a class has a minimum of 15 students.
Hammel said the district would like to see each student earn 24 credit hours before they graduate.
She stressed, however, that these courses count toward a college GPA, and a student qualifying for a LIFE (Legislative Incentive for Future Excellence) scholarship that does not earn at least a B could be in jeopardy of losing that scholarship.
In other business
School district officials are working on the Fiscal Year 2014/15 budget.
A big part of the process is finding out how much money will be allocating by the S.C. Legislature. That information is not expected until mid-March.
The district is soliciting input from staff and the public. Comments and suggestions may be emailed to email@example.com or faxed to 843-436-7057.
There will be budget presentations at 19 locations in late February and March. Public input will be collected at those meetings as well.
The School Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote on a final budget on June 3.
The board also approved an overall sexual harassment policy, a student sexual harassment policy, a harassment and bullying policy, and a student complaints and grievances policy on Tuesday night.
The next School Board meeting is Feb. 4 at 5:30 p.m. in the Beck Administration and Education Center on Church Street in Georgetown.

Fog on the Mountain is a very interesting little
mystery novel for a number of reasons, perhaps the least of which is its
plot! It tells of the investigations by anthropologist Wallace Howard into
the mysterious deaths of several colorful characters in and around Petrovnia,
Alaska, a fictional frontier town on Kachemak Bay, Alaska. While gathering
data for an ethnographic study of Pacific Eskimo (now we would probably
refer to these indigenous peoples as "Aleuts") life ways in the Depression
Era Alaskan back country, the young Dr. Howard is plunged into a spiraling
cycle of violence that begins with the death of Chief Totemoff, a respected
elder with shadings of shamanistic powers. What is first believed to be an
accident soon proves to be a vicious murder, with the victim's son-in-law
the chief suspect. Howard's friendship for the murdered man and his belief
that the son-in-law is innocent of the charge gives the inquisitive
anthropologist all the urging he needs to investigate the killing on his
own. In so doing, he uncovers some of the dirty little secrets of this
little town—including its preference for vigilante justice over the
courtroom version. There are a seemingly endless array of motives for the
murder—plus two more killings that follow hard on the heels of the slain
chief--including stolen Aleut shamanistic artifacts, the poaching of sea
otters, illegal fishing, and bootleg liquor. But are these motives or
merely red herrings? Howard uses his scholarly abilities to untangle the
web of clues and in doing faces certain death as the ruthless killer leaves
him stranded on a tiny islet in Kachemak Bay that is fast becoming inundated
by the rising tide.
The plot of Fog on the Mountain is fairly
interesting and the novel's characters range from complex and colorful
(Chief Totemoff and his daughter, Matrona, for instance) to the stiff and
somewhat bland (our hero, Wallace Howard!). But the novel includes some
wonderful ethnographic insights—both of the indigenous Aleuts and the white
society of "frontier" Alaska in the 1930s. These latter strengths are due
to the talents and experiences of the author, Frederica de Laguna. This
incredible woman was one of the true pioneers of American anthropology,
studying under the legendary Franz Boas and receiving her Ph.D. from
Columbia in 1933 She was a contemporary and colleague of Margaret Mead's and
in fact, shared with Dr. Mead in 1975, the honor of being the first female
anthropologists elected to the National Academy of Sciences. She was
affiliated with the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania
from the early 1930s—when she led five research expeditions in Alaska—to her
death in 2004, just three days after her 98th birthday. Her
fieldwork continued in the decades following the 1930s as she produced
groundbreaking archaeological studies on the Athabascan, Eyak, Chugach and
Tlingit peoples. Her teaching career spanned almost 40 years at Bryn Mawr
College, and even after her retirement in 1975 she continued to write and
lecture. Her greatest honor may have been the invitation extended to her in
the 1990s by the Yakutat Tlingit to join them in a potlatch to thank
"Grandmother Freddy" for her friendship, her sensitivity to the Tlingit
culture, and her scholarship "which has become a priceless record of the
past and a source of inspiration for the future."
Federica de Laguna wrote one other mystery, also set in
Alaska, entitled The Arrow Points at Murder. I haven't read this
novel, and after finding a copy on Amaon.com, priced at $150, it may be
quite some time before I do!
I give Fog on the Mountain four trowels, not
because the novel itself is so great, but because the author was truly a
great pioneer of American anthropology and archaeology.

The main event at UFC on Fox 6 is a fight for the UFC Flyweight title. Champion Demetrious Johnson (16-2-1 MMA; 4-1-1 UFC) faces challenger John Dodson (14-5 MMA; 3-0 UFC). This five round title fight is the last of four main card fights. UFC on Fox 6 airs live from Chicago this Saturday night, January 26, with the main card beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT.
This is just the second Flyweight title fight in UFC history (the first crowned Johnson as the division's inaugural champion). As such, it's nice to see it getting a headlining spot. While these two may not have the casual fan name recognition of many other UFC fighters, they absolutely have the goods to deliver a fantastic fight. Expect a furiously fast pace for a 5 round war here.
How do these two stack up?
Johnson: 26 years old | 5'3" | 66" reach
Dodson: 28 years old | 5'3" | 66" reach
What have these two done recently?
Johnson: W - Joseph Benavidez (SD) | W - Ian McCall (UD) | D - Ian McCall (Maj. Draw)
Dodson: W - Jussier Formiga (TKO) | W - Tim Elliott (UD) | W - T.J. Dillashaw (TKO)
How did these two get here?
Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson is a former WEC fighter. He had solid success in the Bantamweight division, including earning a title shot against Dominick Cruz. But when the UFC added the 125 pound Flyweight division, the smaller Johnson quickly dropped down. His debut was a confusing majority draw against Ian McCall, but he quickly avenged that draw with a win before claiming the first ever UFC Flyweight title with a win over Joseph Benavidez. Johnson is an incredibly fast fighter, skilled in all areas of the game, who trains under the great Matt Hume. He's potentially on the verge of pound for pound greatness, looking to prove it tonight.
More on UFC on Fox 6: Johnson vs. Dodson
John Dodson is another former Bantamweight, winning that division on The Ultimate Fighter 14. He's had a great run in the UFC, culminating in a huge win over Jussier Formiga (or Jussier da Silva). Though largely unknown to many fans, Jussier was considered one of the sport's elite at 125, and Dodson's TKO win escalated him to this title fight. Dodson trains under Greg Jackson, making this an interesting battle between two of the sport's most cerebral coaches. Interestingly, if Dodson wins, he'll be the first TUF champion to wear UFC gold since season 4 winner Matt Serra.
Why should you care?
Flyweights deliver. This is going to be fast-paced and awesome.

The Giants had five options to DH in Detroit. For Game 4, they're using their worst one against Max Scherzer. Let's give a World Series welcome to Ryan Theriot, designated hitter!
1. Angel Pagan# - CF
2. Marco Scutaro - 2B
3. Pablo Sandoval# - 3B
4. Buster Posey - C
5. Hunter Pence - RF
6. Brandon Belt* - 1B
7. Gregor Blanco* - LF
8. Ryan Theriot - DH
9. Brandon Crawford* - SS
Matt Cain - P
This is the lineup that Bruce Bochy is throwing out there to try for a World Series championship. Well, alright. Hector Sanchez had a dismal showing in the lineup yesterday, so the early speculation had Aubrey Huff replacing him, or Joaquin Arias starting at third and pushing Pablo Sandoval to DH.
Instead, it's Theriot against the right-hander Max Scherzer. It was a running joke among Giants fans that the Giants should have put prodigal prospect Todd Linden on the playoff roster to DH. In retrospect ... probably wouldn't have been the worst idea.

So you wanna a play a Frankenstein monster with a head full of magic? An escaped lunatic? A child of a hero trying to forge your own destiny? Pick which ever background takes your fancy, or don't, choose a suitable moody looking portrait and 'find the boy'. Or don't.
Arcanum is a fantastic rpg. If you enjoyed Fallout 1&2 then the chances are you have alreadyread more purchased this game. The world is big and interesting, full of characters and dialogue that stand out, with multiple solutions to any (and maybe all) the games many quests. The choice of creating a technical character or magical is great and the amount of character skills/spells/schematics makes a great meaty sandwich of adventuring goodness.
As with Troika's TOEE, Arcanum relied very much on the kindess of strangers and is now patched to the hilt and benefits from a few more locations and quests. On the downside the characters do lack some detail and a wider variety of models would have been nice, although when you switch armor type the change will be shown on your character. The lack of animations however and the combat is for me the games biggest failing and a lack of balance between a spell slinger and gunslinger is also a real shame.
Yet Arcanum has way more in it's favour than not and has so much ambition and such a wonderful story to tell, with many unexpected avenues of adventure, that make it one of my all time favourite rpg's. Like TOEE, the soundtrack is original and different, whilst TOEE had a murky tonal quality, Arcanum soothes with all string arrangements and some of them are really quite beautiful.
Buy Arcanum and enjoy one the great rpg's. And spare a thought for Trokia will you, and all those amazing games they never had the chance to make.

Created by ex-Fallout devs, Arcanum is an RPG in the same vein as Fallout, in that it is a plot-and-quest-based, open-ended romp through a very interesting world which reacts and shapes itself to your actions.
First off, let me say that this game has one of the best plots of any CRPG I've played, second only to games like Planescape. I know, at the beginning it seems like the creatorsread more went for an old, tried and true plot but trust me, nothing could be farther from the truth. This game has some of the best, most interesting and thought-provoking quests out there, pretty much all of which have the trademark "multiple solutions" of the Fallout guys. If for no other reason, you should play this game to see the killer quest design and plot.
Combat can be in either turn based (The original mode as designed) or real-time (An unplanned mode forced on the devs by Sierra execs leery of TB combat), your choice. Unfortunately, thanks to Sierra, the real-time mode is more or less broken, and what's more, it becomes obvious to the experienced player that the time spent on the RT mode would have been put to much better use refining the game balance.
It's not that the game is unplayable, or combat is no fun; it isn't, thanks to the varied and interesting ability system. But tactical positioning of your characters becomes much less important in this game than in Fallout, and some weapons and types of weapons are simply too over/underpowered.
But you should interpret these quibbles as the rantings of a Fallout zealot. If what you love are meaty quests and balanced, tough moral choices that actually have an impact, set against a great story and in a great world, play this game. Actually, unless you break out in hives every time you see the acronym RPG, you must experience this game.

I nearly had a heart attack when I looked at my RSS feeder and saw that GOG had released Arcanum! I've been hoping for this to be released more than any other game I can think of, as it's one of my fondest memories of years gone by.
Sadly, being no longer in possession of the original disc version, I've been unable to experience the wonderful universe of Arcanum for some time.read more Arcanum was somewhat heavily criticised by reviewers at the time for petty things like its graphics, which were, on my PC, very nicely designed. Arcanum has a lot of style flowing through it, and the steampunk elements are visually still great to look at.
There are so many choices in Arcanum, that it would be almost impossible to ever see all that the game has to offer. There are so many different ways to advance your character that the character creation screen is at first quite mind-boggling - magic, technology, stats, all sorts of goodies! There are tpms pf different locations to explore, people to meet, companions to drag around, and even a brothel!
I would honestly recommend this game above all others on the site, as it is truly a Good Old Game.
The only thing that would top this is System Shock 1 and 2. Do it, GOG!

Earlier this week, we told you about an East Texan's unfinished project, a 1965 Mustang GT 350.
It is a car Harry Ott was working hard to restore. However, Ott passed away unexpectedly and some of his closest friends, The Mustangs of East Texas, worked diligently to finish the project Ott had worked so hard to complete.
Now, that car is being raffled off at the East Texas Auto and Cycle Show where volunteers help tell the story.

It has been a flurry of activity this weekend, with cutdowns, trades, signings and other personnel moves.
I would say it has been a little more crazy than your typical cutdown weekend.
We had a former franchise QB (Matt Leinart) get released and change teams. We had a Pro Bowl player (Darrelle Revis) end his major holdout. We have a few well-known players still deciding where they will end up.
This is an important weekend for NFL teams. How they shape their initial roster is crucial for each team's structure for the first part of the season. Making tough decisions on roster spots and injuries has a domino effect on other positions later in the season.
The Vikings curently have three cornerbacks, as do the Cowboys. The Raiders have seven receivers. The Seahawks have five linebackers. The Panthers need reserve OL help. The Redskins could use some defensive backs and perhaps a wideout.
With those things in mind, here are a few observations on what happened this past weekend and what still is in store as we enter Week One:
- I like two subtle moves by the Lions, trading for CB Alphonso Smith and signing TE-LB Spencer Havner. Smith, a bust in Denver, is too young to give up on. Jim Schwartz and Gunther Cunningham could find a way to use him at a position of need. Havner could be a two-way player for a team that could use his contributions on both sides of the ball. He caught only seven passes last season, but seven went for TDs. And he was a good linebacker in college, so I could see the Lions using him at a spot that currently is shorthanded. Day by day, move by move, the Lions are becoming a better football team. Next year, they will be contenders.
- T.J. Houshmandzadeh just signed with the Ravens. Surprising move, but a good one. He clearly wants to win, with money being a secondary factor. The Raiders and Redskins had a bigger need at receiver, but the Ravens will be happy they got a good short-to-intermediate receiver. Yes, that also fits the description of Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason, but that's a nice trio there. And once Donté Stallworth is back, they'll have a deep element. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Housh gets to play his former Bengals team twice this season; I think it played into the decision.
- The Jets won in the Revis battle. He signed a deal at more than $3 million less per season than what he was asking. He caved under the pressure of his team, so it seems like a win-win for the Jets and his teammates. This team got a lot better today, and I am not worried about his conditioning. Revis will be ready to go next Monday night.
- It has been quiet on the Jarvis Green front today. I expect him to sign with a 3-4 team, with the Patriots and Browns the most obvious choices. Don't just hand this one to the Patriots, though. I had heard before he left that the team thought he was replaceable, although the injury to Ty Warren has changed that landscape.
- Can Matt Leinart revive his career in Houston? Well, he won't play unless Matt Schaub gets hurt, clearly, but the Texans have to like their QB situation better now. Gary Kubiak is one of the best QB coaches around. He should be good for Leinart, a player the Texans never really considered in the 2006 draft, it should be noted, when they picked second overall. It was Reggie Bush or Mario Williams back then, and they made the right call. As I noted a few weeks ago, a number of teams could be looking for QB help at season's end, so Leinart really could help himself with another year of learning from one of the best.
- I was surprised the Giants let RB Andre Brown go. The Broncos might have stolen a player here. Keep an eye on this kid, although he might be better a year from now, fully recovered from his Achilles injury last year. Still, Brown might be a surprise.
- C Justin Hartwig can play in the NFL and help someone. I could see the Raiders, scheduled to start third-rounder Jared Veldheer in the opener, come calling.
- The Jets would be smart to bring back WR Laveranues Coles and FB Tony Richardson, two well-respected veterans who can play a little, too. It would be a big lift for a locker room lacking leadership right now. I could see both being added prior to the Week Two game against the Patriots, saving the Jets from paying both vested veterans their guaranteed salaries for the entire season.
- Still haven't figured out some of the Vikings' moves, especially at receiver and punt returner. We might know more this week. But they kept TE Mickey Shuler, who very likely would have made it through waivers, over those other positions. Four tight ends? They also could use a cornerback, with only three healthy ones until Cedric Griffin comes back. Interesting to note that Griffin was not placed on PUP, though; that means they expect him back prior to Week Six, perhaps after only a few games missed.
- I don't know a lot about the Buccaneers' seven wide receivers, collectively, but I am interested to find out if any of them can play. Based on the preseason, rookies Arrelious Benn and Mike Williams appear to be nice finds, and I have always been a Sammie Stroughter fan since his Oregon State days. The rest? We'll see.
- As for what effect the Revis deal might have on other holdouts, such as the Patriots' Logan Mankins, head coach Bill Belichick isn't giving much indication. "I'm coaching the players that are here," he said tersely today. And there you have it.
- I am not sure what will happen with WR Vincent Jackson. The fact the Chargers nixed a trade that was fairly far along in the discussions tells me that the team still wants him on their roster. Unlike the Revis situation, with the Jets winning that battle, it appears the Chargers are losing this tug of war currently and might not get the best end with this situation. I do expect OLT Marcus McNeill to return soon, though Week One is looking dicey at best.

Our cameras were rolling as the two men responsible for killing an Estero grandmother learned their fate. Shane Simpkins and Christopher Neuberger went before a Lee County judge for sentencing.
A judge sentenced Shane Simpkins to life in prison. His accomplice, Christopher Neuberger, got ten years in prison, followed by ten years of parole. The sentences followed an emotional statement by the son of murder victim Mary Ann Zarb.
"I respectfully beg this court to sentence this convicted murderer to the maximum allowed by law. This convicted murderer needs to be locked in a cage and spend out the rest of his wasted wanted life," said Greg Lewis, the victim's son.
And that will be the case for Shane Simpkins. He was convicted last month of killing 64-year-old Zarb.
She moved to an Estero condo after her husband died and hired Simpkins to remodel her kitchen. Simpkins forced Zarb to write him $25,000 in checks before killing her.
Then Simpkins and Neuberger dumped Zarb's body on the Charlotte County line.
Neuberger took a deal with the state, pleading guilty to murder. He testified against Simpkins in exchange for today's sentence of ten years in prison followed by ten years of parole.
Zarb's son says he knew Simpkins was the mastermind behind his mother's murder from the lies he told after she went missing.
"I can't be any happier by the outcome. It's taken a long time to get here, but it's done. The detectives did a great job, the prosecutors did a great job, lets just hope this is the last victim these guys get to," Lewis said.
Lewis did say he worries Neuberger will kill again once he gets out of prison. His prison sentence today adds just four years to another he's already serving.
Prosecutors say plea deals are sometimes a necessity when crimes happen in private. But they say Simpkins' behavior afterward proved he was the main culprit.

If you are submitting your business plan to an investor, financial institution or someone else, this is one section that is necessary. The introduction section of your business plan will set the stage and tone for the reader. Include an attention-getting cover page. Consider using your company logo and/or a picture of your product or service in action. Your table of contents should be organized and easy to follow. Pay special attention to the Executive Summary since many readers will go to it first and may never go beyond it.
The introductory letter briefly states why you are submitting/creating your plan and highlights important information for the receiver. If you are presenting your business plan to someone specific, be sure to research the correct spelling of their name and mailing address.
In addition to the words "Business Plan", your cover page should clearly identify who you are, your company name and how you can be contacted. Consider making it stand out by using images of your product/service in action.
Your Cover Page should include the following:
It might also include (if available):
A reader may often use the table of contents to skip to the part of your plan they are most interested in. Therefore your table of contents should clearly outline the core sections and subsections of your plan. Wait until your business plan is complete to add page numbers.
The executive summary is the most important part of your business plan. It is where you grab the attention of the reader by summarizing the highlights of your business plan in a short document. Succinctly state what the business is about and why it will be successful. Don't assume people will read your plan cover-to-cover. It is a good idea not to write the executive summary until your entire plan is finished - that way you can select the most relevant information to be included in your summary.
Your Executive Summary should cover the following:

Carmelo Anthony has attempted 19 shots in Game 3 of the New York Knicks' first-round NBA Playoffs series against the Miami Heat. He has made just five of them. One of those five was this shot.
Two guys on him, both grabbing for the ball, and Anthony banks in the shot anyway. That's strength right there.

You knew Madison Square Garden was going to be a madhouse tonight. An electric crowd would greet the Pens, but like I said in the post-game thoughts in Game 2, an early goal for Pittsburgh would be great to take the fans out of it. Sure enough, just over a minute in, Marian Hossa makes it count for an early lead. This morning, the boys over at ThePensBlog predicted #18 would notch one tonight.
Now, just a win away from a sweep, it's time for the Penguins to step on the Rangers' throats. New York is going to be deflated heading into Game 4, but allowing them to get back in the series could be costly. Yes, only two NHL teams and three sports teams in history have come back from 3-0 deficits, but those are just statistics. That's why you play the games.
More thoughts from a big-time win:
-Ron Duguay in between the benches was somewhat insightful at times. Good to see him again. If you would have told me he was the newest member of Bon Jovi, I wouldn't have flinched.
-The Marc Staal hit on Jordan Staal was fantastic. No love for brothers. Reminds me of the fight between the Primeau brothers.
-Speaking of Jordan's older brother, Marc is going to be one solid NHL defenseman. What a stud.
-Thank you Joe Micheletti for telling me 13,000 times that the Rangers first goal was indeed a goal. From the multiple times and angles that the MSG Network showed the replay, it was obviously a good call. No need to remind us over and over again Joe.
-12 goals allowed in three games from one of the Vezina Trophy candidates.
-Right before Georges Laraque's goal, I noticed Petr Sykora and Evgeni Malkin out there, then Laraque rushing in. I wondered where the hell Ryan Malone was, maybe caught in the change. Three seconds later I wasn't caring when BGL went top shelf.
-Pittsburgh's penalty kill has been awesome. Very composed and patient.
-Jaromir Jagr and Mario Lemieux have got to be two of the best "no-angle" shot takers of all time. Jagr's goal tonight was unreal.
-Shots on goal: Pittsburgh 17, New York 39. The Pens only had 8 in the final two periods. So Marc-Andre Fleury still isn't a good goalie?
-How important are faceoffs? Ask Evgeni Malkin, who won a faceoff in the Rangers zone early in the 3rd period which led to the fifth Pittsburgh goal. The Pens still lost 32 of 59 faceoffs.
-I've been hammering home all along how important depth is in the playoffs. What a great addition Adam Hall has been. Not a full-time player, but when he plays, he brings his size, faceoff ability, and great penalty killing. This guy was left for dead and was only invited to the Penguins training camp on a try-out because he knew GM Ray Shero from their Nashville days.
-Are we done with the conspiracy theories now? How many more power-plays do fans want the Rangers to not score on? 0-5 tonight was New York.
-Sidney Crosby had a quiet two assists tonight and that's fine. Evgeni Malkin was again a beast with two goals and an assist.
Game 4 is Thursday night. It'll be hard for the Pens not to think ahead to the Conference Finals, but it's important to finish the job at hand. Crazy things have been known to happen in the playoffs. Take care of business on Thursday night, then rest up and be healthy for what lies ahead.
Let's Go Pens!
