Fire at Spring Valley Farm in Montgomery County kills 24 pigs; horses savedThe Associated Press, ABC 7 News 5 hrs ago
POOLESVILLE, Md. (AP) - Nearly two dozen pigs have been killed in a barn fire in Montgomery County. The fire broke out Sunday at Spring Valley Farm. Montgomery County firefighters were called to the scene, along with large capacity water tankers because there were no fire hydrants in the area. Fire department spokesman Pete Piringer says the barn collapsed shortly after crews arrived. Horses in the area were not harmed, but about two dozen pigs died in the blaze.
Calvary Temple in Sterling investigated for decades of alleged sexual abuseDiane Cho, ABC 7 News
STERLING, Va. -- Dozens of people held signs across the street from Calvary Temple in Sterling this morning protesting against the church. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office confirms that they are now investigating allegations of sexual abuse at the church. In a statement, the spokesperson said that they could not provide additional details because the investigation is still ongoing. ABC7 spoke to one of the alleged victims by phone because she was out of town. She said the sexual abuse started when she was about 12 or 13 and she's now 26. Former members describe it as a cult-like atmosphere. Andrew Lawrence says he was raised in the church for nearly three decades and left it when he started questioning its practices. Lawrence was among the protestors across from the church. "I'd like to see everything exposed. The more we can get this nationally the better," he said. "At the end of the day, that's what we want, I think, is for justice to come out." No one at the church would speak with ABC7. Detectives are asking anyone who has any information that might help the investigation to call the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

?Washington Business Report? ? March 29, 2015Rebecca Cooper
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – On this week's edition of "Washington Business Report" with ABC 7 News National Correspondent Rebecca Cooper: One-on-one with D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser The job of mayor of D.C. has brought many diverse challenges to Muriel Bowser, from policy issues to the weather. In her one-on-one interview, Bowser discussed what she describes as the biggest challenge, what her managing style is, and being a female mayor. Biggest challenge: • Unpredictability—Bowser's days will often stray from the scheduled agenda. • She addresses spontaneous issues, but says it is vital to always return to the agenda. Managing style: • Bowser tackles problems by calling together her staff. • As was the case with the heavy snow this winter, Bowser says she and her staff view each issue from top to bottom and look for solutions moving forward. Being a female mayor: • Bowser, though key on being a mayor for all, embraces being a female mayor with pride. • She says she likes the opportunity to inspire younger females. Small business spotlight: Baby Got Booked Media coverage is a precious resource. Small businesses sometimes struggle to convince media outlets, which receive hundreds of pitches a day, that their story is one worth telling. Geeta Nadkarni, founder of Baby Got Booked, shares how to set yourself apart and command media coverage: PR: • Nadkarni is a proponent for DIY (do-it-yourself) PR, especially for small businesses that do not have large budgets. • Make sure to research the media outlet and identify the proper individuals to contact who are in a position to tell your story. Pitches: • Producers may ask, "Why now?" and "What's in it for our audience?" • Make sure your elevator pitch is succinct and strong. • Nadkarni says small business owners should learn to "speak in sound bites." Round table: Lowering taxes and key issues For this week's roundtable, Rebecca Cooper was joined by former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore and the Washington Post's Steven Overly. The trio discussed lowering taxes and the issues they see as most important today. If we as a country want lower taxes, Gilmore says we must: • Spur investment from tax reform. • Harness wealth. • See job growth and wage increase. Key issues: • Overly says he will pay careful attention to Congress when it returns from spring recess. • Gilmore says international instability, such as in Russia, could affect the U.S.

14-year-old girl injured in D.C. apartment shootingABC 7 News, Richard Reeve
WASHINGTON (WJLA) - A 14-year-old girl was injured during a shooting in Southwest D.C. Friday evening. The girl was shot while sitting on a front stoop with her family at the P Street Apartments. When officers arrived, they found the girl wounded in the leg. She was transported to Children's Hospital. The girl's identity has not been released, and it's unknown whether the girl is recovering at the hospital or at home. Metropolitan Police officers arrived Saturday night to set up emergency safety lights around P and 1st Streets as they continue to investigate this case. Several MPD cruisers set up watchposts on opposite ends of the block. Police believe a lone gunman was shooting at multiple targets. It's unclear who the gunman was firing at and why. Bullets shattered or broke several nearby windows in the neighborhood. Police so far have released little information on this case, except that they are searching for a white-colored car.

Nephew charged with threatening to kill his uncle, a Montgomery County judge, and torch his homeKevin Lewis
CHEVY CHASE, Md. (WJLA) - A Montgomery County Circuit Court judge's life threatened, his adult nephew is now behind bars. Police say Hugo Albornoz, 35, of Chevy Chase, divulged murderous plans that included slicing Judge David Boynton's throat, shooting Boynton in the head, plus torching the county justice's million-dollar Bethesda home. "Initial indications are there was some sort of blame being placed on the judge for [Albornoz's] particular circumstances," Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office spokesman Ramon Korionoff said. On January 2, and then again on March 10, Albornoz allegedly told his father about the violent measures he wanted to take against his unsuspecting uncle. Following the second telling in March, Albornoz's father called the Montgomery County Crisis Center. Police were dispatched to the Albornoz residence where they handcuffed the 35-year-old and took him to Suburban Hospital for a mental evaluation. Prosecutors later charged Albornoz with two counts of Threatening to Injure a State Official. "If you look across the county, from Illinois and Michigan and other places, there have been judges that have been attacked, that have been seriously injured or killed even," Korionoff remarked. For instance, in April 2014, Montgomery County Circuit Court judge Audrey Creighton was kidnapped by her estranged lover, Rickley Senning, 25, formerly of Gaithersburg. Creighton, who said she feared for her life, escaped from Senning's grip outside a Darnestown Harris Teeter grocery store. Senning was later sentenced to three years in prison. "As far as making sure that the courthouse and members of the bench are protected, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department does a tremendous job, and they'll continue to monitor the situation," Korionoff concluded. Despite much speculation, police have not revealed why Albornoz allegedly schemed to kill his own uncle, judge Boynton. Albornoz does have a criminal record for offenses like assault, harassment and drug distribution. In fact, Montgomery County Circuit Court judge John Debelius III sentenced Albornoz in March 2014, to three years of probation in an assault case. His most recent arrest violates the terms of his probation. If he's found guilty of threatening to kill Judge Boynton, Albornoz could spend up to six years in prison. His next court date is April 27, in Montgomery County District Court.

N.Y. woman charged with stealing Bethesda woman's dog to recoup debtKevin Lewis
BETHESDA, Md. (WJLA) - A New York woman is charged with stealing a Bethesda woman's dog to recoup an unpaid debt. Aparna Reddy was charged Friday for the theft of a $2,000 Yorkshire Terrier. According to Montgomery County Police, the two women were long-time friends, and the dispute started over a $7,000 loan. The dispute reached its peak when a break-in occurred at the woman's Bethesda home. Days after the break-in, Reddy reportedly offered to help the woman find her dog for $5,000. Later, a call came from a blocked number telling the woman her dog would die. Detectives reviewed Reddy's cell phone records and discovered she was in Bethesda on the day of the break-in. The Yorkshire Terrier was found and returned safely to the woman.

16th Street Bridge construction keeps residents up at nightRoz Plater
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Night construction along 16th Street NW is not only creating a headache for drivers, but is also keeping neighbors up at night. ABC7 did not hear much noise Friday evening, but area residents say it usually starts much later at night. People who live nearby called 7 On Your Side when they couldn't get any answers from the city. Crews are working to replace the 57-year-old 16th Street Bridge over Military Road. The work and disruption of traffic flow are expected to go on the next four months. The D.C. Department of Transportation (DDOT) put out a notice that beginning Friday night, and on some other upcoming weekends, crews will work from 7 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday. The agency also said that during the week the construction would take place during the day. But some folks who live in an apartment building right next to the construction called 7 On Your Side. They say they've been putting up with construction noise at night since mid-February—noise that sounds like drilling and jackhammers. "All you hear is duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh and the cranes moving," said Sheila Dade. "It's constant." Katherine Gaines added, "Every night. Every night, there is no break, there is no let-up. It's like when you open your blinds and you see that bright light coming through, you already know that you're not going to get any sleep that night." DDOT promised 7 On Your Side it would look into the issue. ABC7 has also put calls out to other agencies, trying to find what work the contractors are allowed to do at night—what their permits say.

PG Co. Police officer who died in crash had BAC of .07, reached 106 mphThe Associated Press, Richard Reeve
PALMER PARK, Md. (AP/WJLA) – Prince George's County Police say an officer who died after crashing his cruiser had a blood alcohol concentration high enough to have been charged with driving while impaired. Officers said in a news release Friday evening that speed may have also contributed to 26-year-old Officer Brennan Rabain's death on March 7. Investigators had reported that Rabain was off duty and driving his girlfriend home when he spotted a speeding car. Police said Friday that Rabain reached a speed of 106 mph during the pursuit. Officers say at 64 mph, Rabain lost control of his car, which went off the road and crashed into a wooden fence along Greenbelt Road in Lanham. The fatal impact occurred at 50 mph. Rabain's girlfriend survived the crash. Hours later, friends and family were at the scene, grieving. Chief Mark Magaw said in a statement that he does not condone Rabain's decision to drive after consuming alcohol. Police say they will never know the exact cause of the crash, but that it may have been a costly case of distracted driving under icy conditions. It happened when Rabain reached for his radio to call in to dispatch. "Reaching down and changing on a police radio, that spit second—if I had to guess—that's when he lost control," Magaw said. Investigators insist this was not a police pursuit and that alcohol was not the primary cause. They say Rabain drove about six-tenths of a mile from the time he was passed by the reported speeding car to the crash. Investigators say they sifted through video surveillance, interviewed a Park Police officer who spoke with Rabain, and a driver who followed his cruiser, who says he saw no signs the officer was intoxicated. The police department has a zero-tolerance alcohol policy in its cruisers. Civilians are permitted to ride in police cars, with previous written permission. Officers are told to use their discretion when responding to emergencies, and when making decisions whether civilian passengers should be let out beforehand. The chief says the Prince George's County Police Department will review its policies about civilians riding in police vehicles—and its pursuit policies in general. "While we will never know what role alcohol played in this crash, the outcome is tragic," Magaw concluded.
Md.-based CharmedBars supports Autism Awareness MonthAlison Starling
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (WJLA) – Autism Awareness Month kicks off in just a few days and two Gaithersburg women are doing their part to support the cause. Jen Burnstein and Debbi Ascher started CharmedBars 13 years ago after the women, who were both fighting health issues, discovered that changing their eating habits improved the way they felt. "When I cut those things out of my diet—the gluten, the grains, especially the refined sugars, the soy—my inflammation is much lower and I don't suffer," said Burnstein. After having trouble finding snack bars that fit their special dietary needs, the women decided to develop a product of their own. CharmedBars are filled with fruit and nuts and are free of gluten, grains, dairy, soy, refined sugars and more. The women initially tested their recipe on friends and had great success. "We would hand them out, we wouldn't tell them what we were doing, but we would give the bars to friends and they would come back and say, 'Can I have some more of those bars?'" Ascher said. "So, we knew we were on to something." CharmedBars now produces an estimated 30,000 bars each month and ships its products worldwide. Burnstein, who has family members with autism, said the bars are an "autism approved," healthy, whole-food snack. For the month of April, CharmedBars is donating 10 percent of each bar sold to the Autism Hope Alliance. CharmedBars come in three flavors and are available at Whole Foods and Kroger grocery stores.

New thyroid test could aid in weight loss effortsLiz Bonis
CINCINNATI, Ohio (Sinclair) -- If people are feeling tired all the time or have trouble losing weight, a new test now available could give some additional information to help people get the right treatment. It's called the Thyroflex. Angie Montgomery recently decided to take the Thyroflex test which starts with a comprehensive questionnaire and information put into a computerized machine. Jeff Hogrefe, a pharmacist, explains, The Thyroflex machine measures whats the functionality of your thyroid. Hogrefe is a pharmacist who administers the test. It is approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration. It measures what the thyroid does in the body. Part of what made Montgomery say she felt like an ideal candidate for the additional information and additional testing was that she'd already had a blood test and that blood test did show her thyroid was within normal ranges. She said, however, she was still feeling some symptoms associated with lower thyroid; fatigue, lack of concentration, feeling cold all the time. Montgomery said, I'm cold all the time. My nose is cold, losing weight is difficult. It works with small hammer that is connected to a computer. The hammer is used to strike a tendon near the elbow which measures the rate and caliber of the reflex response to determine thyroid function. Hogrefe said generally the longer it takes for a reflex response, the more thyroid a person generally needs. Montgomery's tests from the Thyroflex came up within normal ranges. So for right now she will continue vitamin supplements and a healthy lifestyle and will follow up with her healthcare provider. This test is not covered by most medical insurance plans. The test itself is $60, but people do need a nurse practitioner visit for assessment first. That can be an additional charge.

'Drunk' driving Secret Service agents may not have actually been drunkABC News
WASHINGTON (ABC News) - New documents obtained by ABC News reveal conflicting accounts by top Secret Service officials about whether two senior agents were drunk when they drove into the White House complex. It all started with an allegation -- via anonymous email -- that Secret Service agents were "extremely intoxicated" as they drove through an active crime scene set up just outside the White House complex on the evening of March 4. But documents obtained by ABC News show that two senior Secret Service officials who believed the two agents involved in the now infamous incident were not intoxicated, based on their interactions with the agents that evening. The agents, Marc Connolly and George Ogilvie, had been accused of driving through the crime scene near a White House gate while possibly under the influence of alcohol after attending a retirement party for a colleague. The accusation of drunkenness was slow to move up the chain of command and word of the anonymous e-mail only reached Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy five days later on March 9. Secret Service officials then gathered information on the allegations of agent misconduct to be passed on to the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General, in accordance with agency policy. The information was based in part on recollections of some of the supervisors involved in the incident five days earlier. The documents were part of the material presented to the DHS Inspector General by the Secret Service. One of those documents details some of the recollections of Secret Service Deputy Chief Alfonso Dyson and Captain Michael Braun, both of the Uniformed Division. "Deputy Chief Dyson advised that based on his conversation with DSAIC Connolly, it did not appear as though DSAIC Connolly [was] impaired," according to Dyson's account of his phone conversation with Connolly described in the document. Dyson called Connolly on the evening of March 4, after he was alerted to the incident. Connolly told Dyson that he had made a mistake, which Dyson believed to be referring to driving into the crime scene at that entrance caused by a suspicious package tossed at that location by a woman earlier that evening. The document goes on to say, "Captain Braun advised that the driver of the [government vehicle] (ATSAIC Ogilvie) did not appear to be intoxicated." And though Braun advised that Connolly's eyes appeared glassy, he commented, "that he did not believe that DSAIC Connolly or ATSAIC Ogilvie was intoxicated." According to documents, Deputy Chief Dyson had been briefed on the incident on the evening of March 4 by Uniformed Division Inspector Keith Williams. Citing an "unknown source," Williams said he was told Connolly, a passenger in the car, "smelled of alcohol," the document states. According to congressional sources, no other evidence other than the anonymous email and the unknown source has been presented to suggest that either agent was drunk. Multiple sources who have reviewed video of the incident tell ABC News that it does not provide any conclusive evidence of impairment. The documents also show that the Connolly told Dyson that he and Ogilvie did not realize that the White House complex was under alert condition yellow due to the suspicious package investigation at that entrance. Only when they noticed that the security post was unoccupied did they check their BlackBerry devices and learn of the alert. A detailed timeline of events obtained by ABC News shows that Director Clancy was called at 10:48 p.m. on the evening of March 4 to inform him of the suspicious package. The two agents arrived at the White House only 10 minutes later, at 10:58. Yet, records show, no one from the Secret Service bothered to call Clancy back that evening to inform him of alleged misconduct. Video of the incident released Tuesday shows no drama, no collision and at most, a low-speed vehicle maneuver which bumped a temporary traffic barrel out of the path of the entrance of the White House complex. The video has a limited view, but does not show indications of a particularly active crime scene. The video also does not show that the agents flipped on their lights to go around the barrier, as they are accused of doing in the anonymous email. It does show a vehicle moving just behind the agents' car followed closely by a police car that did have its rooftop light bar flashing. Rep. Elijah Cummings was troubled by the e-mail, telling the Director Clancy at a Tuesday hearing, "It appears that we have an agency at war against itself. The idea that in an organization like this that somebody would create this kind of document to bring this kind of disruption when they are supposed to be guarding the president of the United States of America. We are better than that." It is now up to the inspector general to determine whether the allegations of misconduct have merit, why they were not communicated more quickly up the chain of command and what can be done to get the Secret Service can get back on track. That process, sources say, could take several weeks.

Guide to Non-Dairy Milks
There is no need to cry over spilled milk with these animal-free dairy alternatives.
Milk might be a dish best served cold, but that isn't stopping non-dairy milk's popularity from being white hot. Made from nuts, grains, beans, and seeds, there are options for every palate and price point. Below is a handy guide for those looking for a sauce thickener, the best coffee creamer, or just wanting to kick the dairy habit.
So-y Delicious
Perhaps the most well known of the milk alternatives, soymilk was first documented being made by the ancient Chinese as early as 220 AD. Soymilk is a popular alternative to cow's milk because of its high protein content and low levels of saturated fat, though recent studies have linked increased soy consumption to diseases such as breast cancer. The studies are inconclusive, however, so if you enjoy its mild taste, use soymilk as a creamer or a base for milkshakes.
Nuts for Almond Milk
Almond milk, which is quickly gaining popularity with grocery store shoppers, is often the least expensive non-dairy milk. Its mild, nutty taste enhances morning coffee and is perfect for cookie-dunking. It is also the least caloric of the bunch at around 60 calories per one-cup serving and is a great source of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin E. It's even easy to make at home.
Loco for Coco(nut)
Thick, smooth, and perfect right out of the carton, coconut milk is made when the meat of a coconut is blended with water. The thicker consistency, which makes coconut milk a great substitute for whole milk, is attributed to its higher fat content—there are five grams in a one-cup serving. Make sure to get it out of the carton though—canned coconut milk has been used in many tropical cuisines for centuries to create delicious curries and desserts but is higher in fat and harder to gulp from a glass.
Healthy Hemp
No longer just a hippie buzzword, hemp milk (made from hemp seeds that are soaked and ground with water) is a healthful alternative to dairy. Unlike other substitutes, hemp milk contains all ten amino acids, providing a complete protein in a glass. Additionally, hemp milk contains omega-3s, calcium, and iron. While harder to find than some of its counterparts, hemp milk is nutty, earthy, and provides a serious nutritional bang for your buck.
Grain on the Brain
Rice, oats, spelt, rye, and quinoa are but a few of the grains that are now being made into milk. While these milks are higher in carbohydrates and lower in calcium and protein than soymilk, those who enjoy grain milk's thin texture and light taste can find many brands which are fortified with vitamins and minerals including calcium and vitamin B12. Great in a bowl of cereal or oatmeal, grain milk is a perfect choice at morning meals.

Certain clich� sayings come to mind: The kettle calling the pot black, having one's cake and eating it too . Google, along with Facebook and Yahoo have come down hard on the Obama administration for information gathering - but NOW don't want their data-gathering processes lumped in with those of the federal government.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Such Internet stalwarts have made very public their outrage over U.S. surveillance practices. They have all lobbied for new rules to keep their customer's data safe from the government.
The bad news is that the White House is holding the two for comparisons. President Obama's speech in January outlined National Security Agency reforms. He also ordered a John Podesta-led review of "big data," the collection and storage of massive amounts of personal information . which includes those by private companies.
Check out our fine selection of Bibles -- by going here!
While the public has raised legitimate privacy concerns about NSA spying, the White House argues, similar data-mining practices by private companies should also be held up to the same standards.
When White House officials invited outside input from the public on the "big data" review, the Internet giants were all too happy to chime. "Don't conflate your spying practices with our data-privacy plans," was the message they sent.
"We urge the administration to be cognizant that government surveillance and commercial privacy are separate and distinct issues," the Internet Association, a lobbying group that represents Google, Facebook, Yahoo and others, wrote in a comment.
"Given that Internet companies aim to provide transparency, choice, and control to consumers, efforts to conflate these issues are counterproductive, particularly given how little transparency citizens currently have when it comes to government surveillance."
BSA-a software lobbying group that includes Apple, Microsoft, and IBM-urged the White House to make all efforts to "avoid conflating government and commercial interests in data."
All of the parties are reportedly nonplussed. According to one tech lobbyist, there is widespread frustration with the White House for conducting the big-data and NSA reviews in parallel.
"Companies have very specific relationships with their users, and they tell them what they're doing with their data," the tech lobbyist says.
The White House has since declined comment.
