Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Press Release
The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) has advice for farmers who lost power or suffered other damage from the March 6 snow storm that blanketed the Mid-Atlantic area.
In many parts of the state, the storm is still alive. During the storm, VDACS advises farmers, and citizens, too, to stay informed. "Listen to your local news and weather channels for situation developments, forecasts and road closures," said VDACS Commissioner Matt Lohr. "This is not the time for satellite radio or cable TV. You need to listen to or watch stations in your area."
If you are caught outside during the storm, try to find shelter out of the wind and snow. Stay dry and cover all exposed parts of your body. Plastic trash bags can keep footware or clothing dry and provide protection from the wind.
Advice for farmers after the storm:
"Farmers who work carefully and who document losses as soon as possible will be ahead of the game after the storm," said Lohr. "After the event is over and you have power again, I encourage you to write down the lessons learned and make it part of your plan for the next emergency. There's nothing like a good plan to minimize damage and facilitate the cleanup afterwards. So think – and plan – ahead for next time"

Hampton's Tarpey and Moone tear up Robins
Updated 2:15pm Sunday 12th January 2014 in Football
Nice start: Hampton debutant Ben Harris slots home his side's fourth goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over Carshalton Athletic
Dave Tarpey marked his Hampton & Richmond Borough return with two goals as the Beavers thrashed Carshalton Athletic 4-0 on Saturday.
Tarpey, making his first appearance since returning to the Beveree from Farnborough on New Year's Day, was in top form on his comeback.
The comprehensive win was Hampton's third straight Ryman Premier victory – with Charlie Moone also notching his customary goal.
Tarpey and Moone helped the Beavers get off to the perfect start, setting each other up for first-half goals as the forward blew the Robins away before the break.
Tarpey's second and a Ben Harris goal in the final minute - on his debut - added the gloss on a great afternoon in front of a good crowd of 379.

First cranes in 400 years nest at Slimbridge: full report
A group of young cranes have started building nests in our region - the first time they've done so in 400 years.
They were hatched and reared by people dressed as adult birds. They taught the birds skills to survive in the wild at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, then they were moved to a temporary enclosure on the Somerset Levels.
Now some of them have flown back to Slimbridge, from where Ken Goodwin reports:

This is the year to do it if you are going to give one up. Would not give up anymore than a first for Revis though. Not even sure that should be done. It's too ate now but Dom should have gone after a top FA CB.
Bucs are going to look like idiots if the Jets work out a new deal for Revis. Hopefully Revis doesn't want to play with them anymore.Hopefully we rob them with a 2nd round pick.

With each passing day, it's looking more and more like Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" is going to be the one to beat this awards season. As we cautioned earlier this week, this trajectory right now reminds us of David Fincher's "The Social Network," which got all kinds of critical and industry love, only to lose out to Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech" in the end. Granted, "Les Miserables" is no longer looking like a slam dunk with early reviews decidedly mixed (read ours here) but all this to say, there is still a lot the game to be played.
At any rate, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone, David Edelstein of New York Magazine and Huffington Post all give major boosts to "Zero Dark Thirty" with the film topping the latter two lists and coming in second on Travers', falling just behind Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master." Now does this actually mean anything? Not much except that Bigelow's film seems to be one that's capturing critics of all stripes. Indeed, Travers is probably best known for his quotes than reviews but his list is repectable, if not filled with similarly populist choices like those at Huffington Post. Meanwhile, Edelstein's is a bit more eclectic witih "Pitch Perfect" and "Friends With Kids" somehow ranking.
Check out the lists below along with a new TV spot for "Zero Dark Thirty." The film opens in limited release December 19th before going wide on January 11th. [Awards Daily/Vulture/Huffington Post]

These lists are unbelivable.
Gwen | December 7, 2012 10:31 PM
Thanks for this post. Iâm really looking forward to seeing Zero Dark Thirty. A couple of my DISH co-workers are already talking about getting people together to go see it, but Iâm not sure this is the kind of movie I want to see in the theater. Iâm planning to add it to my Blockbuster @ Home queue instead, since I have that through my DISH account. That way itâll just show up in my mailbox once itâs out on DVD and I wonât have to go out of my way to seek it out. Plus, when Iâm done watching it, I can return it to the Blockbuster store down the street from my apartment for another movie in my queue. Everything about it is so convenient.
AE | December 7, 2012 4:42 PM
I'm looking forward to seeing ZDT but don't see it winning the Oscar, my feeling is Lincoln will grab it, though it's pretty cool that for the first time in a while the field is wide open, there's five films there that could grab it on the night, perfect end for what has been a divisive year at the movies.
Cribbster | December 7, 2012 1:56 PM
There have gotta be a number of big releases they haven't seen yet. Like "Django Unchained." How are these lists legitimate if that's true?
Bilbo | December 7, 2012 11:24 AM
"[Travers] list is respectable, if not filled with similarly populist choices like those at Huffington Post" Uhhhh...they have 7 films in common. 2-5 of Travers and 1-4 of Huff are the same fucking films, just rearranged. And Travers put TDKR, easily the most 'populist' choice of the three lists here published. Did you guys read these?
RFXD | December 7, 2012 11:20 AM
These lists are ridiculous. Just input the 20 movies that were both critically well-liked and distributed theatrically in the USA this year (aka in the past three months, save Beasts and Moonrise) into a top 10 generator and publish the results. Travers' in particular could be rearranged at random to no effect; just an arbitrary ranking of end of year big budget Hollywood prestige movies with the year's certified 'breakout' independent movie (budgeted at .5mil) thrown in for 'balance'. Huff is nearly identical. Looking at someone like Susan Oxtoby's top 10 next to these makes me sad -- not that hers is 'better,' but at least it exhibits individual taste, discernment, and adventurousness. Edelstein's is slightly more palatable (in the sense that it indicates taste), but it still hews so god damn closely to mediocre studio stuff. Do these people -- the USA's top cinema critics -- not have access to anything that doesn't play in a multiplex or mid-range art theater? Seriously...I'm asking

Thread: Our Starting QB is Injury Prone
Our Starting QB is Injury Prone
I want badly to believe that we did the right thing on selecting this guy 12th overall I just have serious concerns on his ability to hold up. Look at his injuries in 3 consecutive years.
Junior year - Throwing Shoulder injury
Senior year - Elbow injuries
Rookie season - 3 different serious injuries including Hip, Concussion and Hip again.
I just don't know if this guy is capable of being the guy for 8 years or more.
Because of this I really want us to swallow our pride, take the media firestorm and draft Robert Griffin.
Capable of sub 4.4 speed, Rocket for an arm and compact throwing motion (except when deep), he is the best QB we will have a shot at for years. He is super intelligent, can read defenses and is very careful with the ball. Simply put he should be the #1 pick ahead of Luck but that bandwagon is out of control. Picture Vick, minus the off field drama, with the brain of an Oxford graduate, and the passing poise of Montana. This pick at #3 will define this franchise for another decade and we will be kicking ourselves if we mess this up. In a league driven by the passing game, why we seem to be ok with "good enough" as opposed to an excellent Qb, is beyond me. Other needs be damned, this kid was on team devoid of talent minus a 1st round WR and he lead them to a bowl game and bowl victory. Draft Griffin and trade Ponder for a 2nd or 3rd to the Bills, Skins, Cards, and or Browns.
I don't care what system you play in 4000+ yards throwing, 37tds and 6 ints, while completing 72% of his passes is obscene.
Baylor's Robert Griffin III: 2011 Heisman Trophy Winner & Most Exciting Player in the Country! - YouTube
Comeon my friend. The kid is tough. Learning how to take a beating is all part of the learning process that young QB's go through.
Besides, its more important that we talk about things like his 3rd down passing efficiency, especially when he had crap, other than Percy to throw to.
Get on board, this staff is going to grow a QB on the field. Like it or not, that will have its ups and downs, but in the end, we will have a QB that can win games for us.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
I agree Kevon, I like Ponder, but not at the 12th overall pick. You won't see them go for RG3 though. Like I said, Ponder was a reach at number 12 and anyone who says that the Vikings got the guy they really wanted can look at Andy Dalton, the 35th overall pick in the same draft.
I don't think he has "it". I simply get the career backup feeling of dread from him. He lacks the arm strength to throw the 15 yard out, 18 yard comeback, and almost anything on the wide side of the field. His arm is adequate at best. You can't be groomed to win if you can't stay on the field. He isn't learning to take a beating, he i getting knocked out of games. I will like to point out that all the grooming in the world made Sanchez an average QB. When a guy doesn't have "it", you are wasting your time.
The possible combanation of Harvin, Peterson and Robert Griffen III, has me drooling. When you start doing your research, I think you will change your tune. What I saw from this guy is it. He does everything you want from a leader at the QB position.
I would have no problem with them drafting RGIII if he is the BPA. I think he would be an upgrade to Ponder. We are in a QB league where more often than not the best QB wins.
The problem I see is that he very well might be gone by the third pick.
Honestly, we could use any of the top 4 projected players. Obviously Luck is off the board, but I agree that if the opportunity presents itself, we upgrade our QB position as I am not overly impressed with Ponder either. While I see him as an upgrade over Jackson, I don't see him as the answer.
However, nothing would surprise me less than to have our FO trade DOWN, and grab a player whose name we won't even remember in 4 years. Then squander the extra picks on other pedestrian players who will guarantee us another draft slot in the top 10 next year.
I would love to be optimistic here, but with the state of our Power structure (Wilf with his family and their fingers in), our Coaching situation (Frazier without a clear direction, lack of cohesive plan, and an empty-shirt GM) and our player situation (No receivers other than Harvin, Peterson hurt, No O-line, crap secondary, Ponder not what we'd hoped for), I'm actually sort of dreading our next series of moves. I think that we have failed to address our fundamental errors, and everything after that has been a poorly placed band-aid attempting to cover up that glaring deficiency.
Anyone playing behind our offensive line would be injury prone. Brett Favre was known as an ironman before he landed behind our joke of a line. Then we went and cut McKinnie and made it even worse.

The Collier County Sheriff's Office put one of its own on administrative leave as a result of a fraud investigation. Amanda Bowling, 35, who was a civilian supervisor in the Collier County Sheriff's Office Communications Bureau, was arrested Tuesday. She is charged with grand theft. During the course of the investigation, officials with the sheriff's office say they determined Bowling falsified her time card multiple times between January 4, 2012, and August 29, 2012. As a result, detectives say Bowling received $5,573.25 that she did not earn. Officials with the sheriff's office say the alleged fraud was discovered during a routine time card audit. Once the facts were nailed down, the investigation was provided to the State Attorney's Office, which issued an arrest warrant. At the beginning of the investigation, Bowling was placed on administrative duty and relieved of her supervisory responsibilities.
At the time of her arrest Tuesday, she was placed on administrative leave without pay pending the outcome of this case.
A separate investigation into the matter is being conducted by CCSO's Professional Responsibility Bureau.

This will not be a new line of work for Jeff Gilmore.
"There hasn't been a day I haven't gotten up at 6 a.m. and started selling pot in the last 45 years," Gilmore said.
What is new is state government's stamp of approval. The Liquor Control Board handed a marijuana producer-processor license May 28 to business partners Gilmore, David Brown and Mary McKnew, a former member of the liquor board.
And with that, Thurston County has its first licensed marijuana grower.
The partners are allowed to use up to 7,000 square feet on property next to Gilmore's home near Tenino to grow the plants.
Brown and McKnew are from Olympia.
As he suggests, Gilmore comes to the partnership with expertise cultivated over a long history of growing and selling illegally in Thurston County.
Gilmore said he's also given much of his product away.
"I grow some of the finest pot in the world," he boasted, "and most of it seems to make it into the hands of the severely ill and terminally ill."
At 60, Gilmore said he has "never had a day job." He weathered a 1990s felony conviction and stayed in the industry long enough to cheer voters' approval of a legalization ballot measure in 2012, then secured one of the state's first 50 licenses under the new scheme.
The liquor board was waiting last week for 12 more potential growers and processors to pay their final license fee, while 113 were in the final stages of state investigation.
But that's only a fraction of the more than 2,800 who applied for the licenses, which includes more than 600 applicants who haven't even been assigned to an investigator yet. No stores have yet been licensed, something that could happen in less than a month.

Surround Yourself with Happy People to be Happy
Who makes you happy? Chances are it is someone that you spend a significant amount of time with. A study done by Dr. Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School and Dr. James Fowler of the University of California in San Diego conducted a study on how an individual's social network affects their happiness levels. They found that individuals who associate themselves with cheerful people have a happier demeanor and consequently a better sense of well-being. The effects of one person's happiness influences another person's mood which boosts another person's mood. It is a chain reaction! The closer you are to these people emotionally, the longer the effect of their attitude will be on your disposition. The closer you live to a person, the stronger the effect is, because you are with them more, therefore the effect is nearly constant. It is also stronger between individuals of the same sex.
So surround yourself with people that make you happy. Life's too short to spend it with miserable people. If there is someone that always brings your down, find ways to avoid them. Busy yourself with other things when they want to hang out. Go out tonight and have a "girls night" (or guys night) with your closest friends! Planning at least weekly gatherings with your friends is a good way to increase your happiness and theirs! Increasing your happiness can relieve stress and increase your sense of motivation and optimism so you can conquer the rest of your week successfully! Then, since you've conquered the things you needed to do, you will feel accomplished and even happier! It's a chain reaction; you just have to push over that first domino!

Twenty-eight-year-old Gerardo Carrillo, who had taken part in a failed murder-for-hire plot two years ago, apologized as he was sentenced Tuesday in New London Superior Court to three years in prison for conspiracy to commit murder.
Carrillo, who was living in Westbrook when he was arrested by New London police in August 2011, is likely to be deported to his native Mexico immediately upon completion of his prison sentence due to his immigration status, according to his attorney, Kevin C. Barrs.
According to the state, Antonio "Wilson" Peña of New London had arranged to pay Carrillo and Elmer Melendez of New London a total of $15,000 to kill a rival drug dealer.
"The defendant admitted his role in the murder was to stab the victim to death," said prosecutor Christa L. Baker.
The men had gathered clothing, a knife and gun and were headed to the New London apartment of Oscar "Tato" Valentin when they were stopped by New London police, who had been tipped off by an informant. Valentin has since been arrested on federal drug-distribution charges and is awaiting trial.
"The reality is, I'm very sorry," Carrillo said through a Spanish interpreter. His attorney said Carrillo had tried to back out of the plot but was afraid that harm might come to him or his family if he didn't participate. Carrillo had no criminal history and was working full-time when he was arrested, according to Barrs. Carrillo, who had a drooping eye when he was first arrested, has since been diagnosed and treated for myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disorder.
Judge Susan B. Handy told Carrillo that he appeared to have been a hard worker who was somewhat involved with his family before he got involved in this "most outrageous of plans." Now, she said, he is paying a price that includes the prison sentence and likely deportation.
"Thank heavens someone contacted the police before this man was executed or you would be here on murder charges," she said.
Peña, the mastermind of the plot, is serving an eight-year prison sentence. Melendez, who was to have held the gun on the victim while Carrillo did the stabbing, is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison.

ELYRIA -- Senator Sherrod Brown met with workers yesterday at Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, 901 Cleveland St., to discuss bringing more jobs back to the area.
Bendix employs more than 500 people and develops and supplies leading-edge active safety technologies, air brake charging, control systems, and components for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, tractors, trailers, buses, and other commercial vehicles throughout North America.
Brown met with workers and management to learn more about the company's efforts to bring jobs to Northeast Ohio, promote cost and resource efficient remanufacturing and to enhance the safety of North American commercial vehicles.
During his visit, Brown also called for the creation of a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation so that the United States can out-innovate the rest of the world while creating thousands of high-paying, high-tech manufacturing jobs.
"Northeast Ohio's techbelt is a shining example of American ingenuity and a testament to Ohio's ability to make things," Brown said. "Bendix is a model of cost and resource efficient manufacturing; another reason why Ohio should lead the way in creating a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation that will produce thousands of high-paying jobs and establish the infrastructure to attract new investment in high-tech manufacturing."
Bendix President and CEO Joe McAleese said. "We were very pleased to offer him the opportunity to experience the effectiveness of these technologies firsthand during an on-road demonstration. With the senator's ongoing support in Congress, I'm confident that Bendix will continue to make strides in our efforts to improve highway safety and grow our workforce here in Ohio."

22oz. bomber into a Brooklyn Brewery snifter. Satin Solstice was one of my favorite Imperial Stouts so this one seems really promising. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a .5 finger dark mocha head that dissipates quickly into a thick ring sitting atop a pitch black brew. Legs are viscous and oily with good stick. No lace though. Average.
Nose is crazy delicious and aromatic. I can smell it as I'm pouring. Notes of sweet soy sauce, plum, prunes, raisin, chocolate, fudge, cocoa, brownie and all things sweet and dark in the world, tied together by waves of mellow booziness. Doesn't get much better than this.
Sweet soy sauce, plum, booze, molasses, chocolate, fudge, cocoa, and the slightest bit of roasted malt. Real sweet, fruity and chocolatey. Booze is still present but its dropped off significantly enough to reveal the complexities present in this beer. Finishes sweet and boozy with a chocolate, molasses and roasted malt finish. One of the best I've had.
Medium to full bodied with moderate to low carbonation. Oily, smooth and warm in the mouth and goes down with a bit of heat. Messy finish with a sticky, long, lingering aftertaste. Awesome.
I had high hopes for this beer when I learned it was BA Satin Solstice. It doesn't disappoint. From the outstanding aroma to the great, balanced complexity to the perfect mouthfeel, this beer impresses in every way. Definitely a must try.

650 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Not a lot of head, and what it has settles quickly. Not quite black. Collar of khaki foam.
Smell - Hot bourbon. Chocolate and molasses. Mostly bourbon from the barrel and less of a true barrel character.
Taste - Very intense bourbon. The barrel isn't as influential as the whiskey itself. Chocolate and a little less molasses than the nose implied. Hot finish and finally some oak appears in the back.
Mouthfeel - Barrel hot. Low carbonation. Thin for its size. Boozy, but it's barrel booze not so much beer booze.
Overall - It's good, but not as amazing as I'd hoped. Like many other Central Waters stouts, it comes off a bit thin.

BIG thanks to kalvarez for picking this up for me
poured into a CBS snifter
appearance: jet black, pours smooth, 1" thick chocolate head, the perfect look and pour to a stout
aroma: huge huge huge bourbon nose. could maybe benefit from some variety, but its so awesome that its just a big bourbon nose
palate: about the lightest feeling BA stout ive had so far. its nice, but i wish it did have more body to match the bourbon flavors. medium carbonation, and the alcohol makes its presence known, but its not overpowering. very smooth too
taste: great array of flavors here. bourbon is the strongest, followed by caramel, chocolate and vanilla notes.
overall: not the big bodied stout i imagined, but about as bourbon forward as ive ever had. great taste variety and so smooth. this is a home run by central waters. 14 years and going strong, thanks CW!

A massive thanks goes out to StayWhatYouAre2 for sharing this one during his own Bachelor Tasting a few days before his wedding! Congrats buddy! Served from bottle into a Boulevard Smokestack tulip. Poured a massively dark brown with a half finger tan head that subsided to a minimal amount quickly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, dark fruit, vanilla, sweet alcohol, and coffee. The flavor was of sweet malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, sweet alcohol, wood, and coffee. It had a medium feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. The aroma on this one really stood out to me as it was very well balanced and had just the right amount of intensity. The flavor had the same amount of balance, but just didn't have the intensity in all the right places. Definitely glad I got the chance to try this one. I suggest you do the same!

22 oz bottle split and poured into a Central Waters tulip.
Serving temperature 45-50°F "Learn to serve" with a snifter shown.
I picked this up at the Central Waters anniversary party before sampling it. Had I had it first I would have got much, much more of this!
A - Central Waters debuts their anniversary beer with their greatest label design yet (not a hard feat really...). Clarity through the silent pour results in a near pitch black-filled tulip. Fourteen Fourteen needs a pretty tall pour to coax the thin-but-dense tan head from it.
S - The thick, rich chocolate aroma reminds of Satin Solstice with it's faint coffee undertones, but the impeccable barrel aging Central Waters is known for is near orgasmic! Soft wood char adds depth to the heavy malt profile while light vanilla bean overlaps the incredibly smooth bourbon alcohol. Subtle heat wafts out, but never does it get overwhelming.
T - Voluptuous, rich chocolate coats the tongue gently as cold, fresh (oxymoron, I know) coffee follows up with a faint bittering quality. Creamy vanilla perfectly engages the chocolate roast while mellow wood and smooth, aged bourbon flavor really show Central Waters' barrel aging finesse.
M - Creamy, soft, and smooth, this rich stout feels like black velvet. Fourteen Fourteen's thick body is perfectly carbonated with a discrete alcohol warmth that keeps this beer from becoming disruptive.
O - Move over Rare, Fourteen Fourteen is better and $40 less. This sophisticated imperial stout is near perfect in every regard! From it's deep, inviting aroma to the luscious, rich flavor and feel, Central Waters' balance in barrel aging is damn near unsurpassed. I know it's only January, but this may very well be my favorite beer of 2012!

Error 3006 can break Diablo 3, Blizzard investigating
A game breaking bug is reported in Diablo 3
With the launch of Diablo 3 just recently underway, some unfortunate players are already reporting a game breaking bug said to disconnect the user from the game's server and prevent them from logging back in.
Error 3006 is triggered when the user interacts with the Templar character early on in the game and equips the non-player character with a shield.
Multiple users on Blizzard's official Diablo III forums are pointing the bug out, and recommend that other players do not trade with the Templar. It is believed the issue may be specific to the Demon Hunter class.
Blizzard is investigating the matter, however no fixes are available as of yet.

Hit the CEO where it hurts the most — compensation.
The popular perception of a used-car sales professional in the US is that of a fast-talking sleazy individual who is not very trustworthy. He is seen as one who will say and do anything to sell you an unreliable car. The financial services industry is now a strong contender for that position at the bottom of the credibility list.
We have had a string of scandals and frauds in banking, in particular, and in financial services, in general, that would make heads of drug cartels and gun runners blush. The industry suffers from a precipitous drop in professional ethics, culpability and gross incompetence. Moreover, recent incidents also tell us that our belief that more regulation would help is also misplaced.
Moody's and the other rating agencies, which themselves have seen their image tarnished during the 2008 financial meltdown, have downgraded the major US banks as a serious reflection on their capital adequacy and general financial stability.
Libor et al
Take the recent Libor (London inter-bank offered rate) scandal. Over the years, it grew to be a highly trusted base rate on which consumer and business loans and trading contracts around the world are now based. Barclays PLC, a British bank, reached a $450-million (about Rs 2,430-crore) settlement with the UK and the US regulators; but 11 other banks are believed to be involved in this scandal.
A former executive of Barclays said he was not only following the orders of his boss but also those of regulators when he understated borrowing costs. Evidence is also emerging that the British Bankers' Association themselves wanted this rate to be more carefully regulated, but the Bank of England did not. And we don't know for how long and how extensively this manipulation has been going on.
HSBC Holdings PLC, a giant global bank, has recently admitted that its lax systems and supervision facilitated money laundering by terrorists, gun runners and drug lords. Regulators say they have warned the bank for years that its far-flung global operations have become a conduit for questionable money. But each time the bank received only mild sanctions in return for promises to do better in the future.
Peregrine Financial Group, a US stock-market brokerage firm, came into focus two weeks ago because of a suicide attempt by its boss. In a confession letter addressed to his son, who also works for the firm, the CEO, Russel Wassendorf, admitted to misappropriating about $215 million (about Rs 869 crore) of client funds by falsifying bank statements over a period of 20 years and using the money for buying an office building, and such. During all this time, several audits of his accounts had taken place with no suspicions aroused.
JPMorgan Chase, the largest US bank, was hit by several billion dollars in losses incurred due to trading blunders at its UK investment office -- activities that border on criminal negligence.
Its CEO, Mr Jamie Dimon, who insisted till recently that the problems were not severe, claims that he was regularly told everything was fine and he believed the reports. Mr Dimon was for long lauded as the sharpest needle in the banking haystack and an example of why we are justified in paying globs of money for the talent it takes to manage complex enterprises. Ha! He was also the mouthpiece of the industry against increased regulation.
Sorry state
Every era has had its share of dirty bankers, but they were few and far between, and when they dipped their fingers in the till, they were caught and sent to prison. What is different now is the extensive nature of these occurrences and the almost complete lack of accountability. Each time they are caught, armies of lawyers descend to fight their cases or negotiate settlements, and the bank pays, which means all the investors and depositors pay.
The power of the bankers over the governments, especially in the US, arises because of the revolving door between the banks and the treasury departments. The politicians are beholden to them for their power to donate to political campaigns. The financial services industry has managed to build a myth that if they are disturbed, then the world economy would go under. With the industry failing in self-regulation and the regulators also falling on the job, it is a sorry state of an industry that claimed the high ground as an engine of business growth and economic development.
CEOs have quit; risk officers have been fired; apologies have been offered; settlements have been arrived at. Is anything likely to change? It is too much to expect the morality discount to suddenly reverse and expect them all to become good. The only hope for better behaviour from the financial services industry is if we make the individuals pay. We need to hit at the reward systems of the decision-makers.
An insider told me that the industry would not change as long as there were opportunities to make lots of money personally with little risk attached to failure. So, hit the CEO where it hurts the most — compensation. How about this simple rule? The government should require, as part of the settlement, that the CEO of any firm found guilty of malpractice or malfeasance would continue to head the firm for three years at a compensation that is 25 per cent of the previous three years' average.
You can be sure that this prospect of low pay along with the shame of turning up daily at an office that he ruined would keep bank CEOs awake at night to ensure that their compliance is over and above what is required. The trickle-down effect in the bank or brokerage house would similarly be most enlightening.

Superstorm Sandy caused power outages and flooding in many areas and has forced the cancellation of around 300 American Red Cross blood drives in 13 states and the District of Columbia.
The American Red Cross is encouraging all eligible donors in unaffected parts of America to roll up a sleeve and give blood or platelets.
"Just as Red Cross volunteers have mobilized to provide disaster relief and other emergency assistance, we are mobilizing blood and platelets donations to ensure patients have access to the potentially lifesaving blood products they need," said Tricia Quinn, CEO of the Red Cross Midwest Blood Services Region. "When you donate blood or platelets through the Red Cross, you can help patients in your local community and patients across the country, including those in Hurricane Sandy's path."
All blood types are needed to ensure an adequate blood supply is available during a disaster, especially blood types O positive, O negative, A negative or B negative. If you would like to donate call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Pablo Sandoval began his rehab assignment with Class A San Jose on Friday night, and manager Bruce Bochy said that if all goes as planned, the All-Star third baseman could rejoin the team Monday to begin the three-game series against the Nationals.
"We'll see how it goes," Bochy said Friday. "He's playing five innings today in San Jose, and if all goes well, then we'll push it to seven. So possibly it could be Monday, but we'll have to evaluate him after tonight's game and tomorrow's game."
Sandoval went 0-for-2 with no defensive chances in five innings at third base on Friday. He has been sidelined since July 25 with a strained left hamstring, which he injured while playing first base. He had been traveling with the team on its recent seven-game road trip before heading to San Jose on Friday.
"I will say that before he went down today, he looked good in St. Louis running the bases," Bochy said. "We checked off every box with him as far as getting him ready to play. Anytime you have an injury, you have to make sure they're ready. Ideally if all goes well, Monday he'll be ready."
Scutaro will stay busy after Sandoval's back
SAN FRANCISCO -- With Pablo Sandoval expected to return sometime after the weekend, Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated before Friday's game against the Rockies that Marco Scutaro will continue to see regular at-bats, but more in a utility role.
"We'll mix it up," Bochy said. "We'll have some depth, and that's going to be a lot nicer to have where you can sit some guys, rest some guys, and he gives you that flexibility in that you can put him anywhere. I like the at-bats he's been giving us, and if the guy is playing well, swinging well, you find a way to get him in the lineup."
Scutaro has been the primary replacement for the All-Star third baseman after he went down with a left hamstring strain on July 24 while playing first base against the Padres. Scutaro was acquired in a trade a few days later on July 27 from the Rockies, with whom he primarily played second base.
Since arriving to the Giants, Scutaro has batted .346 with 14 RBIs in 13 games, 11 of which he has started at third base. He has also spelled Ryan Theriot at the two-spot in the lineup, which is where Scutaro batted again Friday.
"He's a pro," Bochy said. "He does a great job wherever you put him out on defense, and he hasn't played third base in two, three years and he's done a great job there. He gives you a professional bat, and he's very popular with the guys already. He's a great teammate and he's fit in very nicely."

This page describes the procedure that grantees may use to request an extension to grant expenditure reporting deadlines. (See also the February 8, 2012, "To the Administrator Addressed" letter posted to the TEA Correspondence page.) Be reminded that meeting required deadlines is a responsibility of all grantees. Regardless of this procedure, failure to meet expenditure reporting deadlines may result in loss of funds and could cause the grantee to be identified as "high risk."
All requests for extensions to expenditure reporting deadlines must be submitted using the Request to Extend Expenditure Reporting Deadline form. The form must be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
A grantee that misses the deadline for a final or revised final expenditure report has 30 days to request an extension of the deadline. If there is no opportunity for a revised final expenditure report, the grantee has 10 days after the final expenditure reporting deadline to submit the request. Requests will not be considered that are submitted more than 30 days after the final or revised final expenditure reporting deadline or, in the case of grants with no opportunity for a revised final expenditure report, more than 10 days after the final expenditure reporting deadline.
Grantees may find expenditure reporting deadlines listed on the TEA Grant Opportunities page. From the Application Name dropdown list, select the name of the grant. Scroll down to the Critical Events section to find dates for all expenditure reports due for the grant. On occasion, an errata notice will be posted to correct the date of an expenditure reporting deadline. Therefore, grantees should also check the errata notices for particular grants.
Requests for expenditure deadline extensions are not granted automatically. TEA staff will evaluate each request on a case-by-case basis, with the decision to extend a deadline remaining completely within TEA's discretion. Requests are considered by weighing a number of factors related to the request itself, the individual grant program, and the time at which the request is submitted. TEA reserves the right to review all supporting documentation, such as the general ledger, in determining whether a request will be granted.
TEA will notify the grantee of the approval or denial of the request. As a corrective action, any grantee whose request for an expenditure reporting deadline extension is granted is advised that in the future, it must comply with expenditure reporting deadline requirements.
For further information regarding either expenditure reporting or the process for requesting an expenditure reporting deadline extension, please contact the Cash Management/Fund Control unit in the Division of Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting, at (512) 463-9127 or email@example.com.

Illinois Parental Notification Law Halted for 2009
An Illinois circuit court judge has upheld a restraining order preventing enforcement of a parental notification law. The law, which was originally scheduled to go into effect on November 2, would require physicians to notify a parent or guardian before a minor obtains abortion care.
The restraining order will be in effect through the end of the year, as the judge waits for briefs from both sides before making a final determination about the law.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) – It's time to slap away all of your culinary troubles with the Slap Chop. This kitchen gadget can slice, dice, chop, and crush; that's of course if it works. Lisa Pitchford is a former owner/operator of a local restaurant, and after much reading and hype from the Slap Chop, she is ready to get slap happy.
So out of the package and onto the table, Lisa looks over this device. It has a plastic housing with a sharp, zigzag metal blade. The blade and contents mash together in a clear plastic housing when slapped along the top plunger. Lisa feels the only limitation prior to use is the size of the housing being able to contain larger items for chopping. It all comes down to a little prep work to ensure the pieces of whatever need to be chopped can fit into the unit.
Lisa had everything from hard potatoes and carrots, to delicate tomatoes and crunchy nuts and crackers to test with the Slap Chop. She begins on the hard end of the spectrum with a potato. Pre-sliced to fit, she covers the spuds and gives the Slap Chop a whack.
Lisa says, "[It's] taking a lot of pressure and it is not popping back up. I'm going to do it three times, and let's just take a look at it. But we have very nice pieces there."
Another shop and they are about the size of steak fries. She finds the slicking on first slap or two is a common theme with hard veggies including the carrots and celery. Even mushroom initially get stuck. But a simple shake and shimmy or a poke with a knife, and the goods drop out to be slapped into smaller, more manageable pieces.
The onion makes the Slap Chop shine though.
"I see that it is rotating as we chop, so it is getting to new pieces as it goes around," adds Lisa.
But even better yet, it contains the smell that would normally cause her to tear up when dicing.
"We got no tears. We didn't get any tears with this," exclaims Lisa.
Crackers are on the chopping block next.
Lisa says, "That went through with such ease," in reference to how quickly the crackers busted into crumbs.
The same goes for the chocolate, nuts, and cookies; with a few slaps, we have crumbs they're reduced to fine crumbs and pieces. But a ripe tomato turns to mush instead of slices.
Lisa had fun with the Slap Chop, but she feels those with limited upper body strength would struggle with the tougher items.
"Some of the items, you really had to have some extra body strength and push it with some force," explains Lisa.
In the end, Lisa has a plate filled with chopped treats. She's sold on the Slap Chop as a compact tool for her kitchen. Our Slap Chop test results slap away to a YES for this week's "Does it work?" test.
Our Slap Chop, with the Graty tool bonus cost us $20 at a local retailer.

The way Sheriff Donnie Harrison of Wake County looks at it, he has a job to do with regard to the criminal investigation surrounding a tragic incident involving a State Fair ride that injured five people, three of whom are still hospitalized. The investigation is ongoing, which is why Harrison has taken possession of public records from the state Department of Labor, which is charged with overseeing amusement rides.
Like most law enforcement officials, Harrison is cautious when it comes to disclosing even documents that clearly fall under the definition of public records. But that can result in records being kept confidential when they really shouldnt be. Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Troxlers department, which runs the fair, also is involved in the probe of what happened.
One man, Timothy Tutterrow, has been arrested in this episode, charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. Those are most serious charges, which relate to suspicions that for some reason Tutterrow allegedly tampered with the Vortex rides safety systems.
Obviously, the rights of the accused have to be protected. The legal system demands it, along with a presumption of innocence. And District Attorney Colon Willoughby doesnt want to do something that he thinks might jeopardize his role in the case.
Ultimately, however, the public has a right to know what happened, why, and how investigators and prosecutors reached the conclusions they did. Though Harrison might have the records now with no intention of releasing them, they must eventually be released as part of his obligation to the publicas an elected official. The same goes for Willoughby and Troxler.
In the end, public disclosure will serve only to strengthen the credibility of the outcome of the case and the public officials involved in it.

By Jacklin Tzocheva
SOFIA, Bulgaria, 16 May 2012 – Marie-Pierre Poirier, the Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS), met with President of Bulgaria Rosen Plevneliev, as well as top cabinet ministers, civil society officials and key partners, urging them to strengthen support for families in order to realize the rights of the most vulnerable children in Bulgaria.
Ms. Poirier and Mr. Plevneliev also discussed the state policy for child protection and the need for investments and support for families, particularly in early childhood development.
"Politicians should not only spend public resources but invest them in targeted and long-term initiatives," Mr. Plevneliev said.
Supporting the most vulnerable children
Bulgaria, a middle-income country in the European Union, is showing development and growth in many areas, but huge inequities and discrimination continue to exist for many children. Vulnerable children include those who live in poverty and those with disabilities. In the CEE/CIS region, these children – particularly those with disabilities – are institutionalized at the highest rates in the world.
But studies show that institutions are no replacements for the warm, personal care of parents and families. Institutions can actually damage the health of infants and young children, who may even develop disabilities due to lack of social and intellectual stimulation. And without proper care, these children are vulnerable to neglect and abuse.
Efforts are underway to move children from institutions to healthier care arrangements. But support for families of vulnerable children will also be essential, enabling these families to care for their own children.
"Bulgaria's progress is very encouraging and this working model should be documented and shared in order to encourage other countries with similar issues to adopt positive change," said Ms. Poirier. "However, closing institutions is not sufficient. We need a strong emphasis on support to families at risk."
Among Bulgaria`s poorest and most vulnerable children, who are at risk of being denied their rights, are those from the Roma community.
On a visit to a Roma neighborhood in Sofia, Ms. Poirier met with parents, children as well as health workers. They told her that many children are deprived of their rights to adequate living conditions, including access to water, sanitation, education and health services. They also reported that many girls and young women are involved in prostitution and trafficking.

Partnerships for children
Ms. Poirier also visited St. Ivan Rilski, an institution that houses 60 infants. There, she noted how institution staff can play a role in the transformation of child care.
"Institutions can be transformed into support mechanisms for families. It is important for the staff from the institution to cooperate with the social workers to nurture contacts between the families and the children placed into residential care and to promote family reintegration," Ms. Poirier said.
She also spoke with Minister of Health Desislava Atanasova, who confirmed the readiness of the Bulgarian Government to host an international conference on preventing all children, especially the youngest, from being placed in institutions.
Ms. Poirier also addressed the role of civil society with the National Network for Children, a coalition representing 103 nongovernmental organizations working to promote child rights. And she met with Minister of Foreign Affairs Nickolay Mladenov to discuss the next five-year cooperation between the Government of Bulgaria and UNICEF, which starts in 2013. It will reflect priorities in line with national strategies and Europe 2020, the European Union's growth strategy for the coming decade.
The Regional Director's visit concluded with the official opening of the new UNICEF Bulgaria building, which was provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The opening was attended by Mr. Mladenov, Deputy Chairperson of the State Agency for Child Protection Kalin Kamenov, officials from other United Nations agencies, ambassadors, and other partners.
"Bulgaria is an excellent example of progress in implementing European Union standards," Ms. Poirier said. "The next steps are developing and sharing methodologies to support families at risk and bring real change. I have no doubt that this is the most cost-effective option for the government to protect children's rights."
