Editorial: Obama needs to provide real answers to Netanyahu's arguments
Editorial BoardTHE CONCERNS about a prospective nuclear agreement with Iran raised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a speech to Congress on Tuesday are not — as the White House was quick to point out — new. They had, for example, been spelled out in Senate hearings, as an editorial we published last month recounted. Mr. Netanyahu's decision to repeat this case before a joint meeting of Congress in defiance of the White House and leading Democrats risked turning what should be a substantive debate into a partisan scrimmage.Read full article >>

Contractor dupes elderly, disabled Md. woman of $321K in life savings, police say
Kevin Lewis 4 hrs agoBETHESDA, Md. (WJLA) – A repairman is facing felony charges, accused of grossly over-billing an elderly, disabled woman for frivolous landscaping and household repairs. Police say Marvin "Gary" Knighting Jr., 32, of Amissville, Va., targeted a modest, split-level home along the 8700 block of Ewing Drive in Bethesda. Work invoices obtained by ABC 7 News show Knighting charged the woman $103,150 for basic jobs like painting, weeding, deck staining and carpet shampooing. An audit of Knighting and the alleged victim's bank accounts revealed $218,550 in additional payments. In total, police say, Knighting bilked the 72-year-old of $321,700 in life savings between June 2011 and April 2013. "That's heart-wrenching," neighbor Brendan Coakley remarked. "I guess she trusted him, ya know? Once somebody does a job for you, they often keep coming back." Coakley, who has lived next door to the alleged victim for roughly 10 years, had a personal encounter with Knighting a few years back. "I did see him here," Coakley said. "He came to my house asking if I needed any help. He was pretty pushy, but I said 'no.' We had someone already." A review of Knighting's alleged dramatically over-priced contracts includes, but is not limited to: June 21, 2011: Install five new sections of fence, paint the front door and power wash the patio—$10,250 April 9, 2012: Repaint kitchen cabinets, paint outside handrails, steam clean kitchen and bathroom floors, and shampoo carpets—$13,000 May 1, 2012: Install new roof on home and shed—$14,600 June 18, 2012: Replace roof trim—$8,500 June 22, 2012: Weed and trim bushes—1,000 Jan. 15, 2013: Stain deck, color paint driveway and walkway—$4,000 Feb. 7, 2013: Paint kitchen and hallway, install mole devices and spray yard for rodents—$3,700 Feb. 23, 2013: Excavate five drain pipes, cap them, and rebury to prevent rodent nesting—$8,300 April 4, 2013: Replace kitchen and sunroom floor, paint behind refrigerator, replace hallway carpet with vinyl floor and replace mulch—$11,900 Investigators say they're aware of a group of Virginia residents, Knighting included, who routinely travel to Montgomery County to solicit unsuspecting elderly or disabled residents for services like landscaping, house repairs and driveway paving. These individuals, police say, often complete little or no work, but gradually charge more exorbitant fees. They'll also commonly perform work in one state and then cash checks in another, in hopes of complicating police investigations with multiple jurisdictions. "They're very good at determining what will get the victim to hand over their money," Montgomery County Police Department spokeswoman Rebecca Innocenti said. "They quickly cash the checks; they want that money fast." Innocenti says in her time with the police department she's seen cases in which vulnerable adults are tricked out of up to $1 million in savings. "That's what's so sad about these cases. They do gain these people's trust. They try to confuse them, sometimes actually intimidate them, and before long they've taken these people's life savings," Innocenti added. Fraud detectives say Knighting, who lives with his girlfriend and 7-year-old daughter, has previous convictions in Virginia for crimes including document fraud, identity theft, and theft by false pretense. In March 2007, Virginia authorities suspended his contractor's license. Further investigation revealed he was never licensed to work in Maryland, where the current criminal case allegedly took place. ABC 7 News reached Knighting by telephone late Tuesday afternoon, on what happened to be his 32nd birthday. Knighting deferred any and all comments to his Rockville-based defense attorney, who says his client denies any misdeed, and added that many of the allegations in the case are just wrong. As it stands, Knighting will argue his innocence during a four-day trial scheduled to begin on July 13 in Montgomery County Circuit Court. If he is found guilty, a judge could sentence him to 40 years prison. "I had no idea. It's just awful. I feel really bad for her. I hope she has good counsel and they fight it," Coakley concluded.
GAO warns U.S. air traffic control system vulnerable to cyberattack
CNNWASHINGTON (CNN) -- Problems with the Federal Aviation Administration's cybersecurity is "threatening the agency's ability to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation of the national airspace system," a new Government Accountability Office report has found. The 42-page document "Information Security: FAA Needs to Address Weaknesses in Air Traffic Control Systems" concludes the agency has taken steps to decrease vulnerabilities, but did not fully address problems including those which could make critical computer systems vulnerable to hackers. "These include weaknesses in controls intended to prevent, limit, and detect unauthorized access to computer resources, such as controls for protecting system boundaries, identifying and authenticating users, authorizing users to access systems, encrypting sensitive data, and auditing and monitoring activity on FAA's systems," the GAO authors wrote. The agency's information security systems and procedures did not meet the requirements of a 2002 law, and its information security strategic plan had not been updated since 2010, the auditors found. "These shortcomings put (national airspace) systems at increased and unnecessary risk of unauthorized access, use, or modification that could disrupt air traffic control operations," the report says. The GAO's 17 public recommendations include increasing training, do a better job of identifying and fixing problems, strengthening protocols for access control, increasing organizational planning, and keep better records to allow monitoring data traffic to detect unauthorized access. A separate document, which details specific security problems and identifies 168 actions that should be taken, will not be made public. The FAA agreed with the GAO's recommendations in a two page letter included in the document and highlighted their efforts to increase cyber security. "The Agency is fully cognizant of the vital requirement to secure the National Airspace System cyber environment as part of the nation's critical infrastructure," Keith Washington, the Acting Assistant Secretary for Administration wrote.
Cold, snow don?t stop D.C. United from gearing up for season opener
Tim Brant, Alex ParkerWASHINGTON (WJLA) – They are united—against the cold. "It's not too bad, it's winter," said D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen. With snow surrounding the field, D.C. United shivered through practice Tuesday. Maybe D.C. should also stand for Darn Cold? "It's Washington, D.C., so it's never changed. It's always like this going into March and April, so you've got to get used to it," said goalkeeper Bill Hamid. Some of the players and staff even insisted on wearing shorts. "I don't know. It's always been a thing of mine not to wear pants at training. I can't really explain it," said forward Conor Doyle. D.C. United opens up its MLS slate at home on Saturday—the first of what promises to be a spring and summer filled with soccer. Said Olsen: "I'm sure the weather is going to change in a couple weeks and we can deal with the nice weather and the nice conditions then—but for now, we've got to dig in and get through this stuff and put the work in, so that we're ready to win games."
Army widow blames VA for husband?s death
Chris PapstMANASSAS, Va. (WJLA) – An Army widow is lashing out against the Department of Veterans Affairs. She says the VA is not only partially responsible for her husband's death, but the troubled agency also owes her $24,000. Kristine Page says her husband loved to be a vet and he was proud to be a vet. But the level of care and attention he received from the VA toward the end of his life disgusted him. "I think it's despicable what they are doing to their vets," said Page. In late 2013, former Army Specialist Donald Page died from congestive heart failure—a result of Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam. During the 69-year-old's final months, the Purple Heart recipient suffered. "This guy couldn't breathe," exclaimed Page. Now, after Page's death, his wife is stuck with $24,000 in medical bills. When the soldier got sick, Page says they contacted the VA for help, but never received a response—forcing the couple to seek medical care outside the VA—and the bills stacked up. "I just want to get reimbursed for the money I dished out," Page cried out. But a January letter from the VA to Page said she does not qualify for reimbursement, explaining, "We have no records or documentation that your husband attempted to contact … this facility to request assistance." But Page says that's not true. She showed 7 On Your Side the paperwork to prove it. She had at least four letters he wrote. Plus, she says, he called. "He called and said he wanted to make an appointment to go there and they never called him back," stated Page. "They never called him back and he called them numerous times. Nobody would help us." 7 On Your Side did reach out to the VA for comment. The agency said it will investigate Page's case and take appropriate action. We will keep you updated. _______ Follow 7 On Your Side Investigative Reporter Chris Papst on Twitter: @ChrisPapst.
Texas 'priest' taking your confessions on Snapchat
CNNSAN ANTONIO, Texas (CNN) -- Instead of turning to church to confess your sins, could you instead turn to your phone? A priest in Texas is offering confessions digitally for the first time through Snapchat. But some faithful believers are skeptics. "It's not confession, Father Tony Vilano of the San Fernando Cathedral said. It's not what the sacrament is all about." Vilano hears confessions in person daily and questions who could be behind the online confessions. "He's not a Catholic priest, Vilano said. The church teaches when you go to confession, you should go to a priest either behind a divider or face to face." The priest wants to stay anonymous - but you can reach him through @priestdavid. He's making himself available through the app through March 16. It's not clear what church, if any, @priestdavid is attached to.

VA investigating how a veteran?s personal files were mistakenly sent to Fredericksburg vet
Joce StermanFREDERICKSBURG, Va. (WJLA) – The Department of Veterans Affairs is investigating how sensitive personal files were sent to the wrong person. It's a problem brought to light by the 7 On Your Side I-Team. Taking care of her husband is Carolyn Wilkins' primary job these days. But for the Fredericksburg woman, battling to get the Vietnam veteran's medical care covered is a close second. Wilkins said, "That's a fight in and of itself." But when Wilkins asked the VA for copies of her husband's medical files, her fight took an unexpected turn. Instead of receiving Joseph Wilkins' records, she received a package of files belonging to an Iraq war veteran from North Carolina. It's a man with no connections to the Wilkins family. The files contain everything from the man's high school diploma to his service record, and they include multiple notations of his Social Security number. The 7 On Your Side I-Team looked through the files, discovering Wilkins was also sent the other veteran's complete personnel and dental records, as well as a folder full of evidence related to the man's case with the Board of Veterans Appeals. "It bothers me on many levels," Carolyn Wilkins said, "because if it happened to him, how many other people does it happen to?" A representative for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, D.C. tells the 7 On Your Side I-Team the agency is not sure how this happened, but emphasized veterans' privacy is very important. The agency says it is urgently trying to figure out what occurred. So is the veteran whose information was shared. He learned about the situation through a phone call from Carolyn Wilkins, who said, "He couldn't believe I had his medical records. He was upset—very upset." Hopefully, that individual will soon have his records back where they belong. Carolyn Wilkins was sent packing labels to ship the files back to the VA, along with a notice saying access to the records is for authorized persons only. "But here I am with his records and I'm not authorized," said Wilkins.

Plummeting gas prices cause spike in truck, SUV sales
John MatareseCINCINNATI (Scripps) – Remember a few years ago when automakers couldn't build enough hybrids? Gas was at $4 a gallon, and everyone was worried about mileage. You'll find a very different picture at your local auto dealer this spring, because with cheaper gas, big trucks are back. Hybrids lose steam The hottest selling vehicle for 2015 is not a car—it's a truck. Buyers these days are heading for the big, shiny pickups and—like Suzanne and Randy Smith, who recently visited the Cincinnati Auto Expo—they're looking for popular SUVs. "I like the 2015 Honda CR-V, that's what I want," Randy Smith said. "She's always pushing the CR-V." Suzanne Smith is in good company: Honda sold 300,000 CR-Vs last year, and other crossovers are selling almost as fast. Low gas prices changing auto sales Cheap gas prices are causing a surge in sales of SUVs and pickups, and buyers are no longer focusing on mileage. Because hybrids are usually more costly than other vehicles, low gas prices make buying one not really worth it. Hybrid sales are down 13 percent over a year ago, according to stats from the Dallas Morning News. The media outlet reports full-size SUVs are flying off lots like it's 1999 again. Charlie Howard of the Auto Dealers Association said truck redesigns are also boosting sales. "You can find some pickup trucks appointed as nice as any luxury car you can find, and people are willing to spend the money," Howard said. As for those languishing hybrids, automakers have to offer them to meet cafe mileage standards. And when gas prices spike again, Howard predicts consumers will once again think small. "Prices are probably artificially low right now, so we'll probably see the return clearly in the long run," he said. I guess we have very short memories.
D.C. leaders still hold out hope a year after Relisha Rudd's disappearance
Brianne Carter, ABC 7 NewsWASHINGTON (WJLA) - Marking a year since the disappearance of Relisha Rudd, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters Monday that there were no new suspects in the case - but she held out hope that the missing little girl was still alive. Relisha was last seen on March 1, 2014 in the company of Kahlil Tatum, a janitor at the homeless shelter where she lived with her mother and siblings. The then-8-year-old's family had allowed her to spend time with Tatum. After Relisha was reported missing, the body of Tatum's wife was found in a motel, and Tatum was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a park in northeast D.C. Authorities have not been able to find Relisha despite extensive searching. She would have turned nine in October. "We hope that this continued attention on the anniversary that Relisha was last seen, may prompt someone who may have information to come forward and contact us," Lanier said Monday, flanked by Mayor Muriel Bowser and other officials. "This continues to be an open and active investigation. We remain hopeful that Relisha is alive somewhere." The FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the location and return of of Relisha. The bureau asked that anyone with information on her whereabouts call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099, or send an anonymous tip to the department's by text messaging 50411.
2 men charged in theft of cable TV batteries in Fairfax County
Horace HolmesMCLEAN, Va. (WJLA) – Two Pennsylvania men accused of stealing cable television batteries from a local cable television company are jailed in Fairfax County on charges of grand larceny. Edwin Price, 44, and Jason Drobnoek, 29, were arrested following a routine traffic stop in the Reston area late last week. The arresting officer spotted several large cable batteries weighing 80 pounds each in the back of their car. Cable companies use these batteries as a source of backup power in the event of a power outage. The batteries are popular targets for thieves, who resell them for scrap metal value. Authorities said 185 cable batteries have been reported stolen in Fairfax County since January.
Man knocked to ground during 'llama drama' isn't holding grudge
CNNSUN CITY, Ariz. (CNN) - They made a run for it and people across the country couldn't get enough. The Phoenix-area llamas on the lam went viral, taking over the Internet and network news last week. Now, for the first time, we are hearing from the man who was holding the llamas when the drama all began. The 82-year-old used to raise llamas and had invited them to his retirement community as therapy for the other residents and what he got was a whole lot more. "All the group at my retirement center are overwhelmed," Richard Falkenberg said. "They're so happy to know that they were on television." Falkenberg can laugh now, but he was the one holding on to the ring leader, Kanita, when the llamas went on the lam in Sun City last Thursday, capturing the nation's attention. Falkenberg had asked his friends Karen Freund and Bub Bullis to bring some llamas to the Carillons retirement community when apparently one of the residents with a plastic bag spooked Kanita. "The poor lady that did that is still apologizing," Falkenberg said. Falkenberg was knocked to the ground. "I was just scared to death that he had broken something and then she started to drag him so I told him to let her go," Freund said. And the chase was on! After the ordeal, Freund and Bullis, both retired Phoenix police officers, invited Falkenberg to their home to make sure everyone was OK. "Nothing's bruised I'm just old and have to sit down," Falkenberg assured. And the two culprits, Kanita and Lainey, have also recovered. They are back to their training because when they are not on the run, they are both show llamas, even competing in obstacle competitions. But last week, their freedom got the best of them.

"The llamas are absolutely super!"

This is the design of the earpieces on the headphones. Some headphones go inside the ear, while others rest on the outside of the ear. This helps you know exactly what type of headphones you will be receiving.
In-Ear: The ear buds go into the ear. Most often, the right and left ear buds are two separate pieces.
Enclosed-Ear: Usually are found on the larger headphones. They rest on top of the ear and have padding for comfort, as well as enclosing the ear to the speaker. This type of headphone helps to filter out surrounding noise.
On-Ear: This type of headphone involves the speaker sitting gently on the ear without going in the ear or sealing it off.
Corded means that the headphones use a cord to transfer the audio signal.
Wireless means that the audio signal is transmitted wirelessly to the headphones.

Smooth, easy on the ears. Well balanced, with a nice transition from its upper end to the bass. I love how they managed to bring the warm, rich sound that Grado is notorious for, and put it in the in-ears. give me more Grado!!!!

Pride of Anglia
The various football clubs located in East Anglia vie for being the Pride of Anglia, an unofficial title celebrated by fans of the clubs involved.
The title is claimed for winning the East Anglian derby and/or for finishing highest in the league.
East Anglian derby[edit]
The main rivals are Ipswich Town and Norwich City. Other professional clubs in the region include Peterborough United, Cambridge United, and Colchester United.
When Norwich and Ipswich meet it is known as the 'East Anglian derby'.[1] Over the 138 matches played between Norwich and Ipswich since 1902, Ipswich boasts the better record, having won 45% of the matches to Norwich's 37%.[2] The most recent encounter ended in a 1-0 win for Norwich at Portman Road in August 2014. This fixture is sometimes referred to as the "Old Farm derby", a humorous reference to the "Old Firm derby" and the rural nature of East Anglia.
League position[edit]
Another commonly employed measure for "Pride of Anglia", and one that encompasses all of the East Anglian teams, is the side finishing as the highest placed East Anglian team in the English football league system.[3] Norwich claimed this position in 2010–11 by finishing second in The Championship, and, by virtue of being the only East Anglian team in the Premier League (the top league of English football), did so from 2011 until the end of the 2013-14 season when they were relegated back the Championship.
Previously in 2007, Colchester United finished in the highest league position of clubs in the region and were awarded a special trophy by Anglia Television to mark the event.[4]

We will be visiting this area next week and I'm hoping someone can suggest some great places for breakfast. Dives are fine -- I love grits, which I can't get here in Boston, so some place with great grits would be, well, great!
try "3rd street diner" south of Beach Blvd. great food. there's also "mother's" on Beach Blvd. a little bit north of sunrise surf shop. also good but not as clean on the inside. both are in jax beach. in jacksonville try "original pancake house" @ the st. johns towncenter.

In Jax, try the Metro Diner.
http://www.metrodinerjax.comIn Orange Park (close to Jacksonville) is Grumpy's.
834 Kingsley Ave, Orange Park, FL 32073Metro Diner
3302 Hendricks Ave, Jacksonville, FL 322070 -
The Metro Diner is awesome! Their catering is great, too. I'd hit Frank-N-Wurst on Beach--right across from Mother's Home Cooking.
If you don't mind a wait, there's the Beach Diner on Atlantic right near the beach.

Beautiful letter. I just imagine how many children can be saved from spankings(and whatever else it leads to) if your pastor would preach that.
I'm always amazed at the people that are very involved in their church, that look at me funny when they find out we don't spank. I don't know the bible at all, but I've always thought, what would Jesus do, or teach. I sure can't imagine Jesus spanking a child. |
If there is one thing I have learned about pastors, it is that they DO NOT want to be questioned. How lovely. |

It takes a year to develop a NT, so the team needs to judge whether we have a potential one on the team or whether our 2011 NT needs to drafted in 2010. If that is the case, I could see using our first or high second as Belichick has done before three times for a starting defensive lineman. If Mt Cody is a starting NT in this league, wouldn't Belichick be strongly tempted to draft him early?
Shouldnt be high considering they have the best NT in football, especially when the ball is in their court when it comes to his contract.
The ball's in their court, but a desperate team could make an offer the Patriots couldn't match. That said, I'm still not sure what argument mg's trying to make here.
A) We have a NT that we can force to play for the 2010 season, as I assume we will. B) We need to develop a NT for the 2011 season. C) If a NT needs a year to develop, we need to draft that NT in the 2010 draft unless we think Brace or someone on the team is Wilfork's replacement. D) It makes no sense to wait until Wilfork is gone to find a replacement aht won't be ready for a year. Now, I ask again, how important is it to draft a NT? To be much more blunt, if Wilfork has been franchised, and we don't think that Brace is the answer, I think that we would would consider Mt. Cody with our first or second draft choice. [/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE] It's not an either/or: the Pats can franchise Wilfork and still have time to reach a new contract (as AV did the first time he was franchised).
I agree, but if there is no agreement by Draft Day, it would be xtremely risky for the patriots to just hope that they will sign Wilfork and pass on a starting NT in the draft. It's not an either/or: the Pats can franchise Wilfork and still have time to reach a new contract (as AV did the first time he was franchised).[/QUOTE]
I expect the Patriots to draft Cody with their #1 pick to replace Wilfork. Wilfork will be franchised and traded to the highest bidder.
I would not mind doing that in the 4th through 7th rounds every year as I am a disciple of the Parcellian Planet Theory of Big Guys who can Move! But, yeah, taking a NT project on the first day seems a bit risky to me, given other needs and the age structure of this team.
This is excellent thinking! I love this post. And I agree 100%. BB NEEDS TO DRAFT MOUNT CODY!!!!! 1.) If we franchise Wilfork, history says things will get ugly and it will become a one year deal at beast and a team distraction at worst. 2.) No "if" about it, Mount Cody is the best 3-4 NT I have ever seen in college and will be a starter in the NFL from day 1,ala Mayo. Worst case scenario, he waits a year while WIlfork plays out a final season. (I doubt Wilfork would sign a one year deal, unless there is a no franchise him again next season.) Cody sucks up double teams better than anybody I have ever seen. He plays in our defense at Alabama. He knows our line calls. He allows ILBs to roam free and become playmakers. He owns the middle of the line. 3.) six foot five inches tall and over 380 pounds. And he can dunk a basketball. BB wants big athletic guys,there is NO ONE better who fits that title better than this guy. Other posters that can not see this, need to understand that 3-4 NT's coming out of college are rare. And that the NT position is key in running a successful 3-4 defense.
This is the best case scenario. Although I think Parcells would give up two first rounders to sign Wilfork.
Mt. Cody is not a project! He is the real deal. I have said it before and I will say it again. He is a better 3-4 NT now than Wilfork is. And Wilfork is a pro bowler. I mean no disrespect to Wilfork but that is a testament to how good Cody is.
They provide depth,with the ability to develop into something serviceable in case of injury. But none of those three are special; ala Mt. Cody. Why did BB take Hill in the second round,when he had 3 first rounders starting? Depth on the D line is important to BB.

Brokeback Mountain
The friendship between Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two cowboys, evolves into an intimate relationship while they are working together as a herder and camp tender, sharing a bond that spans many years and frequent separations.
& Taylor
The friendship between Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two cowboys, gradually evolves into an intimate relationship while they are working together as a herder and camp tender and living a remote cabin, sharing a bond that spans many years and frequent separations, in a stand-alone story from the collection Close Range. Simultaneous. 100,000 first printing. (A Focus Features film, written by Larry McMurtry & Diana Ossana, directed by Ang Lee, releasing December 2005, starring Jake Gyllenhaal & Heath Ledger) (General Fiction)
Simon and Schuster
Annie Proulx has written some of the most original and brilliant short stories in contemporary literature, and for many readers and reviewers, "Brokeback Mountain" is her masterpiece.
Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, two ranch hands, come together when they're working as sheepherder and camp tender one summer on a range above the tree line. At first, sharing an isolated tent, the attraction is casual, inevitable, but something deeper catches them that summer.
Both men work hard, marry, and have kids because that's what cowboys do. But over the course of many years and frequent separations this relationship becomes the most important thing in their lives, and they do anything they can to preserve it.
The New Yorker won the National Magazine Award for Fiction for its publication of "Brokeback Mountain," and the story was included inPrize Stories 1998: The O. Henry Awards. In gorgeous and haunting prose, Proulx limns the difficult, dangerous affair between two cowboys that survives everything but the world's violent intolerance.
