Editorial: The U.S. continues to send the wrong message to RussiaEditorial Board
IT HAS been a week since Secretary of State John F. Kerry emerged from eight hours of meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his foreign minister to say that the two sides had agreed to make a new effort to cooperate in resolving conflicts in Ukraine and Syria and completing a nuclear accord with Iran. The trip represented yet another bet by the Obama administration that it can cut deals with Mr. Putin without betraying U.S. interests or allies or capitulating to the Russian ruler and his imperialist agenda.Read full article >>

I have attended predominantly white schools from preschool through my doctoral program. I'm used to carving out a black space in a white world. As an undergrad at Georgetown University, I sat at "the black table," the one cafeteria table where many black students congregated for a fun, raucous dinner and discussion of the day's news. The black table was not forced upon us — it was a refuge. The girls who wore Ralph Lauren, athletes and poli-sci presidential hopefuls sat at their respective tables, but they didn't stand out as we did.Read full article >>

The Fix: Harriet Tubman is your potential replacement for Jackson on the $20Abby Ohlheiser
A group that wants to kick Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill and replace him with a woman has, after months of collecting votes, chosen a successor: Harriet Tubman.Tubman, an abolitionist who is remembered most for her role as a conductor in the "Underground Railroad," was one of four finalists for the nod from a group of campaigners calling themselves "Women on 20s." The campaign started earlier this year and has since inspired bills in the House and the Senate.Read full article >>
PostEverything: Keep Harriet Tubman — and all women — off the $20 billFeminista Jones
The Women on 20s campaign has declared that America needs the face of a woman on its currency and that woman should be abolitionist Harriet Tubman. The campaign petitioned the federal government this week after Tubman won an online poll that featured 15 historic women — including Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks and Susan B. Anthony — as candidates to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. As a feminist, I think this campaign is well-intentioned. Women are rarely acknowledged as important contributors to the creation and development of the United States, and Tubman especially is regularly overlooked. I even named her on my own list of candidates, initially. But I was hesitant to support Women on 20s's goals from the beginning, and now that Tubman has been selected, I'm certain: There's no place for women — especially women of color — on America's currency today.Read full article >>

Well-known D.C. security guard retires, rides with Rolling ThunderSam Ford
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- When Rolling Thunder rolls into D.C. this weekend, they're going to be met by some local riders, among them 70-year-old Wiley Myers of Southeast D.C., known by everyone at the building where he works as "Spider." Today Spider was the focus of lots of attention because he's retiring as the 101 Constitution security officer. Retiring on Thursday, because Friday he's got to join his Vietnam Veteran buddies in Rolling Thunder. "In Vietnam, they called me Water Spider," he said, "You thought Moses walked the water? I walked the water too when those bullets come behind you in a machine gun." He was part of a demolition unit. Myers crawled into enemy tunnels and blew them up. "Also, infantry," he said, "You have to fight your way out of holes sometimes too. I done it all." In addition to Vietnam, Myers served 25 years as a D.C. police officer. He's been a security officer at 101 Constitution for 12 years. He turns 71 next month. He says he's retiring because no one gives a job 100 percent, adding "I gave the job 85 percent and the other 15 percent is mine." So he's ends the third phase of his work life today, and for the weekend, at least, rides off again with Rolling Thunder.

Decorated WWII veteran's remains recovered, buried at Arlington National CemeteryJay Korff
ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) -- There was a burial Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery, with full honors, that some feared would never happen. In fact, 78-year-old Jerry Hoblit had to wait 63 years to finally say goodbye to his father. "Yes, it means everything to me and everything to my father," Hoblit said. Colonel Noel Hoblit, a decorated World War II veteran, was an Air Force dental surgeon in the early 1950s. He was also a hero to his sons, Jerry and Fred. In 1952, Colonel Hoblit was aboard a C-124 Globemaster traveling from Washington State to Anchorage, Alaska. The military transport aircraft encountered rough weather. The plane slammed into a mountainside east of Anchorage at full cruising speed. All 52 aboard were killed. An ensuing avalanche of snow and rocks entombed the wreckage for 60 years. It was believed this would be their final resting place. The Hoblit boys, so affected by their father's death, dedicated their adult lives to military service. In fact, Jerry Hoblit was awarded the Air Force Cross for heroism in the Vietnam War. The only higher honor is the Medal of Honor. "I was a professional military aviator. That's a dangerous profession," said Hoblit. In 2012, Army Guardsmen on a training mission discovered the plane's wreckage on Colony Glacier, miles from the original crash site. Just last June Colonel Hoblit's remains along with those of 16 others were identified and returned to their respective families. "And when I heard that I thought wonderful. Now we can show the whole world what my dad meant to me, "said Hoblit. So Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery Jerry Hoblit and his family witnessed what should have been, so long ago: the interment of Colonel Noel Hoblit with full honors. "Everybody is there honoring my father and honoring their country. That's what that was about today," said Hoblit.
Loudoun County quarry blast sends rocks flying through windows, homesSam Ford
STERLING, Va. (WJLA) – Rocks--big rocks--rained down on a neighborhood in Sterling, Virginia moments after a blast at the nearby Loudoun Quarries facility around 10:45 a.m. Thursday. Rocks hit cars, took out windows at a Napa auto parts store and a big one went through the roof of the house that Dwight Brooks says his parents built in 1952. They were home at the time as his brother was asleep on a twin bed, when the rock came through the roof and landed at the head of the other twin bed. Brooks says his brother had to get eight stitches. The Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy is investigating the incident. Fortunately there were no other injuries. The manager of the Napa store said there are frequently blasts at the quarry. They shake buildings, but this is the first time it has rained rocks.
County execs Leggett, Baker meet with Gov. Hogan in final Purple Line pushMike Conneen
BETHESDA (WJLA) -- In a matter of weeks, maybe days, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan is expected to announce whether to move forward with the proposed Purple Line between Bethesda and New Carrollton. To persuade the Governor that the Purple Line is worth its hefty price tag, the executives of Montgomery and Prince George's Counties met with him Thursday morning behind closed doors. After their 45 minute meeting, Rushern Baker emerged smiling. "We were pleased he's still open to the idea. He's weighing the options," Baker said. Baker said the Governor told him and Ike Leggett that he'd make his decision on the proposal sometime in June. He said the Governor did not ask the counties to contribute more local dollars for the project. He also said they emphasized to the Governor the Purple Line's potential benefits, including an expanded tax base and thousands of new jobs. "Having the ability to get back and forth across these jurisdictions makes us competitive, not only with the Washington region, but with the nation," Baker said. "And so I think [Governor Hogan] heard that. And I think once you weigh the balance of it, it comes out in favor of pushing this project forward." The Governor's office said Thursday there is no formal timeline for a decision or announcement on the Purple Line and that the Governor is still waiting for final recommendations from the state's Secretary of Transportation. The proposed 16-mile rail line would run from Bethesda to New Carrollton, so it's no surprise most Metro riders at the latter station support a new route. "You know if you ride the bus or the train, you need more options," said Metro rider Prince Sarkodie. But even some Metro riders question if the Purple Line is worth its estimated $2.4 billion price tag and $55 million in annual operating costs. "That seems like an awful lot of money. I don't know. I'd have to look at it," said Metro rider Renny Hellickson.
High school sophomore only girl in area to play varsity baseball with boysRobert Burton
ALEXANDRIA (WJLA) -- She can slide, throw, hit and she does it all as she rocks her glove with the guys. "There's no difference in what she has to do or what everyone else has to do," says Jefferson Head Coach Craig Lewis. Thomas Jefferson High School sophomore Jenna Greenwalt is the only girl in the area to play varsity baseball. "She came to me this fall. I asked, 'Are you playing baseball?' She said, 'Yes--I miss it too much.' Tryouts came, she did well and I said, 'OK you're on varsity,'" said Lewis. Last season Greenwalt chose to play softball for her freshman year but decided to return to the small ball for the opportunity to pitch. She throws a mean fastball, but the pitch she's most proud of is her curveball. "It kind of messes up the guys because they like to sit on my fast ball." said Greenwalt. "I try not to think of it as a girl playing baseball. I'm just here as a ball player."
State Department worker accused in 'sextortion' of college-aged womenABC News
LONDON (ABC News) -- A State Department employee has been arrested and charged with computer hacking, cyber-stalking and extorting college-aged women in what authorities say was a scheme to gather sexually explicit material. Michael C. Ford, a State Department employee who has worked out of the U.S. Embassy in London since 2009, is accused of using government computers there to conduct the alleged crimes. He was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Sunday and is scheduled to appear in a federal court later today. Authorities said investigators found a spreadsheet on Ford's work computer that appeared to summarize criminal activity that included a list of approximately 250 e-mail addresses he may have used to target the women. A criminal complaint filed in Atlanta's federal court contains an affidavit from a diplomatic security agent that details the emails found after searching Ford's computer records. It alleges that, in early 2015, Ford "apparently hacked into and stole compromising photographs from online accounts belonging to an 18-year-old Kentucky woman." He then sent her threatening emails demanding she sent him more photographs and video of other "girls" and "sexy girls" who were undressing in changing rooms at pools, gyms and clothing stores, according to the court papers. He allegedly would threaten to send the compromising photos to acquaintances of his targets or make them public in other ways if the targets did not comply. The affidavit quotes emails recovered from Ford's accounts. "Finally, I found you! What do you think? Nice a**!," his first email to one victim allegedly read. When the woman responded by asking where he got the photos, according to the court documents, he answered: "I'm a wizard, I have lots. Do you like it? :)." He then allegedly asked, "Can I text the picture to [her acquaintance's phone number] or maybe email it to [other individuals]." When the woman threatened to tell the police, according to the documents, he responded: "I've hacked nothing. You threaten me again and I send it out. Would you like that." The affidavit adds that when the woman begged him to leave her alone he responded yet again, demanding his terms. "I want you to video girls in the changing room [of her gym]. If you don't, I send your details and picture to everyone. What do you say? Looks like you've made up your mind. Get ready for my email and post to go out tomorrow morning. Enjoy!" Based on the totality of the information recovered from Ford's computer, the diplomatic security investigator said in the documents that he believes "Ford may be targeting college-aged women throughout the U.S." The federal charges also state that at one point a man with the same name and Social Security number was arrested in connection with "'peeping-Tom'-like" offenses, without offering additional details. In a briefing with reporters Thursday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf acknowledged the arrest and said that, as of May 18, Ford was no longer employed by the government. Harf described Ford as a "locally hired administrative support employee" who was not a member of the Foreign Service. The State Department would not comment further, citing Department policy regarding ongoing litigation. ABC News reached out to Ford's lawyers for comment but they were not immediately available.
Environmentalists seize on latest Santa Barbara oil spillThe Associated Press, ABC News
GOLETA, Calif. (AP) - The oil spill this week on the Santa Barbara coast is just a drop in the bucket compared with the catastrophic blowout here in 1969, but it has become a new rallying point for environmentalists in their battle against drilling and fossil fuels. No one expects damage on the order of the '69 disaster, which helped give rise to the modern environmental movement and led to passage of some of the nation's most important environmental laws. Nevertheless, the new spill from a ruptured underground pipe is being held up as another reason to oppose such things as fracking, the Keystone XL pipeline that would run from Canada to Texas, the moving of crude by train, and drilling in far-flung places. "What we see from this event is that the industry still poses enormous risks to an area we cannot afford to lose," said Joel Reynolds of the Natural Resources Defense Council. The timing of the leak - days after a federal agency approved Shell's plan for drilling in the Arctic, and while the Obama administration considers opening the Atlantic to exploration - could work to the advantage of environmental groups. Closer to home, it could galvanize opposition to plans for new drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel, where Union Oil's oil platform blew out 46 years ago, spewing an estimated 3 million gallons of crude along 30 miles of coast. Some 9,000 birds died. Tuesday's spill involved an estimated 105,000 gallons of crude; about 21,000 is believed to have made it to the sea and split into slicks that stretched 9 miles along the same stretch of coast fouled in 1969. As of Thursday, more than 7,700 gallons had been raked, skimmed and vacuumed up, officials said. The thick, powerful-smelling crude coated rocks and sand, but only five oil-coated pelicans had been reported. There was no estimate on the cost of the cleanup or how long it might take. The 24-inch pipe, built in 1987, had no previous problems and was thoroughly inspected in 2012, according to its operator, Plains All American Pipeline. The pipe underwent similar tests about two weeks ago, though the results had not been analyzed yet. The 1969 spill was a watershed event in the area and also for the nation. Artist Bud Bottoms remembers yelling, "We've got to get oil out!" thus coining what became a rallying cry and the name of the organization he founded, Get Oil Out, or GOO! "We made so much noise about the oil spill in our pristine Santa Barbara coast that it was called the 'environmental shot heard 'round the world,'" Bottoms said. The stench was terrible, and he remembers people crying at the sight of the beaches. Inmates were brought in to help spread bales of straw to sop up the mess. His group helped gather 200,000 signatures to get the oil rigs removed off the coast. That never happened, but over the next few years significant legislation was passed to protect endangered species and the air and water. The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970. Sean Anderson, environmental professor at California State University, Channel Islands, said he doesn't think this week's spill will have any effect on policies or regulations, mostly because there are so many already in place. "The 1969 spill created a panoply of federal, state and county level regulations and laws," he said "From that watershed event, a huge array of policy and procedural tools emerged." Tupper Hull, a spokesman with Western States Petroleum Association, said the industry expects a certain amount of blowback, but not necessarily new regulation. "It's no secret that there are groups that have an agenda to curtail energy production in California," Hull said. "They will no doubt reference this tragedy in their advocacy. We will respond with a measured, thoughtful response that will make full use of facts." Plains All American and its subsidiaries operate more than 6,000 miles of hazardous liquid pipelines in at least 20 states, according to company reports. Those companies handle over 4 million barrels of crude and other liquid fuels daily. Since 2006, the companies have reported 199 accidents and been subject to 22 enforcement actions by federal regulators. The accidents resulted in a combined 725,500 gallons of hazardous liquids spilled and damage topping $25 million. Corrosion was determined to be the cause in more than 80 of those accidents. Failures in materials, welds and other equipment were cited more than 70 times. Enforcement cases against the companies resulted in the collection of $154,000 in penalties, according to a federal database. Patrick Hodgins, senior director of safety for Plains All American, said the company has spent more than $1.3 billion since 2007 on maintenance, repair and enhancement of its equipment. "Safety is not just a priority; it's actually a core value at Plains," he said. One local group that arose out of the 1969 disaster was the local Environmental Defense Center, which is now trying to block certain drilling projects. "It doesn't matter how many laws you have on the books or how many regulations you have and it doesn't matter what advancements are made in technology," said Linda Krop, the group's chief counsel. "Oil development is risky business and will result in oil spills."

Grandmother in child custody dispute charged with murder in Waldorf shootingDiane Cho
WALDORF, Md. (WJLA) -- A Waldorf grandmother is now facing murder charges after a double shooting on Wednesday in a McDonald's parking lot in what police describe as a child custody dispute. Authorities say Caroline Conway, 51, went to the McDonald's in the 11000 block of Mall Circle in Waldorf just before 6:00 p.m. and shot and killed 25-year-old Robert Mange from Smithfield, Va. Investigators say Conway also shot the children's mother in the back as she was trying to run away. Captain Stephen Salvas with the Charles County Sheriff's Office says the two children were not in the vehicle when the shooting took place. "This is a custody exchange location for the family," Salvas said. Salvas says Mange is not the children's biological father. Investigators believe the motive stemmed from an ongoing custody dispute but it's not clear who has custody of the children. Authorities have not identified the children's mother. They say she is expected to survive. Conway now faces a number of charges including first-degree murder. Conway was located near her Waldorf home. Authorities say they have not recovered the weapon. This is the second homicide in the county this year. Anyone with information about this case is asked by authorities to call (301) 609-6496. Tipsters wishing to remain anonymous may contact Charles County Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-TIPS, texting CHARLES + the tip to CRIMES (274637) or submitting tips online at tipsubmit.com.

D.C. mansion murders 'not random' police chief says; suspect remains at largeThe Associated Press, ABC 7 News
WASHINGTON (WJLA/AP) – A Maryland man suspected of murdering a wealthy D.C. family and their housekeeper remains at large and is believed to have fled the area, D.C. police said Thursday. Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said at a news conference that her department is working with New York police as they seek 34-year-old Daron Dylon Wint on charges of first-degree murder, and that officials do not believe the crime was random. Wint was spotted in Brooklyn as recently as Wednesday night, said Michael Czin, spokesman for D.C. Mayor Muriel Browser. "Right now, you have just about every law enforcement officer across the country that is aware of his open warrant and are looking for him. Even his family has made pleads for him to turn himself in," Lanier said. "It would be much easier if he would just turn himself in." Savvas Savopoulos and his wife Amy, their 10-year-old son Phillip, and their longtime housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa were found dead last Thursday inside the Savopoulos home in Woodley Park. All but the boy were doused with gasoline and stabbed before the home was set on fire. Authorities named Wint as a suspect late Wednesday after his DNA was recovered from the crust of a pizza that had been ordered and delivered to the house. Lanier confirmed that Wint was an employee of the American Iron Works where Savvas Savopoulos was president. Lanier declined to offer further details about evidence related to the case, but echoed a plea from Bowser for area residents to remain vigilant and contact police with information. "For residents of the district who are rightfully scared and want answers as to why and how this family may have been involved, we want to give you as many answers as we can," Lanier said. "What we can tell you right now is that we do believe there is a connection between the suspect in this case through the business. So right now it does not appear that this was a random crime." Wint is described as a 5-foot-7 black male with a dark complexion, weighing approximately 155 pounds. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue hooded sweatshirt and white tennis shoes. Anyone with information about Wint's whereabouts are asked to call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099. The U.S. Marshals Service has joined the search for Wint, said Drew Wade, an agency spokesman. Wint had ties to New York, and police there were working with District of Columbia authorities to help track him down, but so far he has not been spotted in the metropolitan area. Online court records show that Wint was convicted of second-degree assault in Maryland in 2009 and sentenced to 30 days in jail. He also pleaded guilty in 2010 to malicious destruction of property, and a burglary charge in that case was dropped, court records show. Wint was born and raised in Guyana and moved to the United States in 2000, when he was almost 20 years old, according to court records filed in Maryland. He joined the Marine Corps that same year and received an honorable discharge for medical reasons, the records show. Following his discharge, he worked as a certified welder, the records show. Savopoulos was the CEO of American Iron Works, a construction-materials supplier based in Hyattsville, Maryland, that has been involved in major projects in downtown Washington. Company representatives have repeatedly declined to comment. Savopoulos moonlighted as a martial-arts instructor and had planned to open a martial arts studio in northern Virginia. The Savopouloses lived in a $4.5 million home Woodley Park, where mansions are protected by fences and elaborate security systems and local and federal law enforcement officers are a constant presence, in part because Vice President Joe Biden's official residence is nearby.
Va. Task Force 1 comes home from rescue/recovery mission in NepalMike Conneen
CHANTILLY, Va. (WJLA) -- Virginia Task Force 1 is back stateside after spending three weeks sifting through the rubble of the devastating earthquakes in Nepal. Fifty-seven members of Fairfax County's Urban Search and Rescue Team received a hero's welcome in Chantilly Saturday morning. There were hugs and kisses. There also were also expressions of gratitude from Washington's Nepalese community. On April 25, team members were actually in the middle of a training exercise when news broke of the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Nepal. The quake killed more than 8200 people. The team immediately deployed. Five days later, the rescuers pulled a 15-year old boy from the rubble. Team member Eddie Thurston said, "We were able to start an IV, assess him medically. But for being in there as long as he'd been, he seemed to be fairly healthy for the situation." Just this week, a massive 7. 3 magnitude aftershock again rocked the region. Team member Stephanie Leland said, "It kind of felt like you were on a boat in the water, it started rocking and people starting running out of the building to get to a safe place." Trapped under what had been a four-story building, the team rescued a 41-year old woman. Team member Tracey Reed said, "We did a lot of good work over there but it's good to be home." Their family members back in Virginia were updated each night, but spouses say it was still difficult. Heather Eddy said, "I just stayed away from the news, motored own.. I'm happy he was a part of this and proud of him." Team members say – when they saw Nepalese families suffering – they often thought of their own. Team member Mike Eddy said, "You'd see kids being injured and it really hit home. It was hard to see."

DNA on pizza crust led authorities to D.C. murder suspect, sources sayJohn Gonzalez, ABC News
WASHINGTON (ABC News) - Authorities searched a Maryland home overnight in the investigation of a deadly mansion murder, going through the trash and removing bags of evidence -- but in the end it was a piece of pizza crust that could lead to the suspect's arrest. Daron Dylon Wint, 34, was identified on Wednesday as the key suspect in the quadruple slaying and arson attack in Northwest, a section of Washington, D.C. A court issued an arrest warrant for Wint with "murder one while armed," authorities said. Two sources familiar with the case told ABC News that DNA found on the crust of a Domino's pizza that had been delivered to the house led authorities to identify Wint as the suspect. Police visited a home in Lanham, Maryland, and removed three bags of items in relation to the investigation. Wint's stepmother, speaking to ABC News, called Wint "hostile." "He doesn't listen," said the woman, who has not bee identified. "You try to tell him and guide him the right way, but he thinks he knows the law … more than anybody else. He was very argumentative. Everywhere he goes there's an argument ... very arrogant." Savvas Savopoulos and his wife Amy, their 10-year-old son Phillip and longtime housekeeper Veralicia Figueroa were found dead May 14. According to a source familiar with the case, only the boy was burned to death -- the other victims were doused with gasoline and stabbed. Police reports show that the victims made a flurry of calls the day of the fire. Additionally, Savopoulos' personal assistant dropped off a package containing $40,000 in cash to the home, the source said. Bernardo Alfaro, Figuera's husband, told ABC News in an exclusive interview that he became alarmed when his wife didn't come home. "I didn't hear from her, and every time I call the phone, it just going straight to voicemail," he said. After Alfaro couldn't reach his wife, he drove to the house, knocked on the door and rang the doorbell. But after Savapolous called him saying he'd call back, Alfaro went home, waiting for a call that never came. The house was engulfed in flames hours later, authorities said.

Arlington community enraged over new firearm shop opening in CherrydaleJay Korff
MCLEAN, Va. (WJLA) -- An Arlington strip mall off Lee Highway in the Cherrydale community has everything from restaurants to salons to a frame shop. What's going into an empty storefront formally occupied by Curves has this normally quiet neighborhood abuzz. McLean-based Nova Firearms has announced it's opening a new store in that empty space this summer. Building owner Kostas Kapasouris says, "They want to have exclusive, expensive sporting goods and I guess that probably includes expensive guns." Kapasouris confirms a lease has been signed but he insists the community is overwhelmingly opposed to a gun shop being here. He tells ABC 7 News he's trying to figure out if he can legally break the lease. Kapasouris says, "The community is very upset and I don't want the community to be upset." Rachel Lustig grew up just blocks from here. "I just think in a place like Arlington which is very strict with everything they are going to have a gun shop? It just doesn't seem right to me," said Lustig. But Jan Greenberg, who shops here often, has no problem with a gun store coming here. "As long as they are doing it legally and taking all the necessary precautions, "said Greenberg. In a prepared statement, Nova Firearms owner James Gates said the store will sell firearms to law enforcement and civilians and will also offer gun safety classes. Gates told ABC7 News that despite community concerns, he is not worried about being able to open the store by this summer.

Former champion boxer overcomes obstacles, inspires kids to realize their dreamsTim Brant, Alex Parker
LANDOVER, Md. (WJLA) -- "My story can help other people." Diane "Dynamite' Clark has been fighting her whole life. Her toughest bouts? "I've been homeless… slept in abandoned buildings, on drugs," said Clark, in her Prince George's County apartment. Those problems surfaced after her crowning achievement in the ring: In 1979, Clark won a world light-heavyweight championship. "It meant a lot. I got respect," she said. When boxing ended, Diane was rocked by some of life's left hooks – including cocaine, prison, and homelessness. "I didn't know what to do with myself because boxing was my life." Knocked out? Not in this story. Diane says she's been clean for close to 20 years and now she speaks to kids about realizing dreams - the right way. "When I go to schools to talk the kids, I tell them to hold onto their dreams and never let anyone tell you what you can or can't do… Now at 62, I still have dreams, I still have goals," she said. Clark hopes to open a kids club promoting good, clean fun. And Diane is still fighting to get better representation for women at the boxing hall of fame. Diane "Dynamite" Clark. A champion through and through. "When I look at my gloves and I look at the belt, I know that I accomplished something in my life."

How to make big money with your cellphoneJohn Matarese
CINCINNATI (Scripps) – Cell phones are not cheap. At an average of $85 a month for a smartphone, that's almost a thousand dollars a year -- not including the cost of the phone. But some savvy people like Teresa Kannenberg are earning back some of those dollars by making money on their cellphone. We caught up with Kannenberg as she grabbed a shopping cart and headed into Target, where she planned to make some money. No, this mom doesn't work at the store. Rather, she shops with apps that pay her back. So far, she says, she has earned more than $800 in one year. Her favorite? Ibotta. She's the third top Ibotta earner locally. I've saved over $450 just with Ibotta," she said. How does it work? She buys items that are up for rebates, and are listed on the Ibotta app that week. For instance, she says "you would go into Target, you would buy chips, and you would get 20 cents when you submitted your receipt." Other products give her a bigger rebate: She'll get 50 cents back on Ajax cleanser. She'll earn a dollar back on a pack of granola bars. She will receive 75 cents back from buying Juicy Juice this week. "You buy the items that are on the list, submit your receipt, and you get money," she said. How You Can Earn Money So clearly, it's no secret you can make money using various apps on your smart phone, but knowing which apps that will work best for you will only help increase your earnings. We've found the top apps that will earn you cash, and organized them into categories so you can find exactly what apps will work for you. Even better, they are all free to download. Smartphone apps that pay you to grocery shop Most of the grocery store apps work by the products you purchase. If it's something you'd already be purchasing, you can earn additional money back. Another way to earn money while shopping is by uploading your receipt to the app by snapping a photo. Among the best: Groupon Snap: Snap gives you cash back on grocery purchases; no matter where you shop. Available on iPhones, Android devices and even computers, search for cash-back offers on the grocery items you need, then 'snap' a photo of your receipt to start earning. Saving Star: This is another popular app to receive cash back. As a bonus, you can use it to get cash back when shopping online as long as you have an account and go through their website. Saving Star is available on iPhones, Android devices and computers. Favado: Favado helps shoppers stop overspending by notifying them when their favorite items are on sale. According to their website, Favado has money saving experts who hand select sales and coupons every week -- in more than 65,000 grocery and drugstores nationwide. Checkout51: Earn cash by buying certain products at the grocery. Once your account balance reaches $20, you can request your money and they'll issue it as a check. Available on iPhones, Android devices and computers. Swagbucks TV: Watch your choice of over 1,000 movie, DVD and game trailers, scenes, interviews and comedy clips. For each video you watch, you'll earn 'Swag Bucks'; which can then be used to redeem gift cards. Reading reviews, some say the payment isn't substantial, but it's worth a try as the app is free to download. Swagbucks TV is available on iPhone and Android phones Ibotta: Shop any of the nearly sixty chains stores that support Ibotta. Then, when you're shopping at any one of those stores and you buy any of the things listed on your offer wall, you'll earn the dollar amount listed under the item! The money is then delivered to your account through Pay Pal. Ibotta is available on iPhone and Apple products. Mobee: The Mobee app is another fun shopping app that allows you to shop at the stores you love, but incognito -- as a mystery shopper. If you allow the app to use your location, it will show stores around you that are looking for feedback through Mobee. You'll be asked a series of questions and upon approval, you'll earn points that can be redeemed for gift or cash. Mobee is available on iPhone and Apple products. One downside of all these apps: your privacy. They know what you buy, and where you buy it. If you are signing up with an email address, use a generic Gmail or Yahoo address, not your main email, as you may start getting more emails than you want. As always, don't waste your money.

Cannabis capsules for caninesRebecca McDevitt, Kimberly Suiters
WASHINGTON (WJLA) -- Cannabis products for canines are popping up online, even on Amazon. Some local pet owners jokingly call it "puppy pot," but it's actually a hemp-based product, according to the makers. Because it's hemp, the makers of the products say it's legal to sell and is safe for dogs. Hemp is non-psychoactive, which means dogs will not get high from these products. Some companies sell capsules, which can be sprinkled onto your pet's food, and others sell treats. Julianna Carella is the founder and CEO of Auntie Dolores' "Treatibles." Since launching the product a year and a half ago, she says they've sold about 1,500 bags of treats and pet owners are starting to order by the case. She emphasizes that hemp does not have a component called THC in it, which would make a dog high. But, she says, hemp does have a cannabis compound called CBD in it. CBD is non-psychoactive so she says it's an appropriate treatment for animals. She says there are no side effects and it's 100% non-toxic. She says the most common use for her treats are dogs with separation anxiety, but that they're also used for dogs with pain or immobility due to arthritis. Other companies, like Canna-Pet and Canna Companion say the products can help ease your dog during travel, grooming or during thunderstorms, as well as support a healthy GI tract, maintain healthy neurological function and assist in end-of-life care and comfort. Dr. Conor McNeill is a veterinary oncologist with the Hope Center in Vienna. He stresses that although he's hopeful these products will be deemed safe for dogs to use, at this point, he says there isn't enough research on the safety and efficacy of these products. Therefore, he stresses caution before buying these. He also says a pet owner should always consult with their veterinarian before giving these to your pet. And he warns that marijuana and recreational pot that humans use is dangerous to dogs, and should never be given to your pet. Carella says the reason research on these products is so limited is because all forms of cannabis are considered to be a schedule one narcotic. She says hemp should not be classified this way and the door should be opened so more studies can be conducted. We spoke with two local pet owners who are currently using a product called Canna-Companion. Kristin Lamoureux began giving their capsules to her dog, Mo, at the end of last year. Mo was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, also called water on the brain. After a successful surgery, Mo still suffered from seizures. Lamoureux says since starting Mo on these cannabis capsules, in addition to anti-seizure medications, he now has fewer seizures, they're shorter, and after they happen, he goes back to what he was doing right away. Before, she says Mo would look "glazed" for about an hour. "It's helped him," Lamoureux said in regard to the capsules. "And if it can help other dogs with seizures then it's worth talking about." "It has a slight aroma that you might recognize from your college days," she joked. "Even some of the veterinarians say 'oh, does he have the munchies? Do you notice Doritos stolen from the cabinet?'" Stephanie Pankiewicz has a 10-year-old mini Australian Shepherd named Doc. He had a seizure in the fall and after a series of tests and an MRI, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Veterinarians told her it was not operable. She took him to North Carolina State University for strategic radiation. Doc is also now on chemotherapy. Pankiewicz decided to layer in Canna Companion to help with his pain and help him process the chemotherapy. She says she thinks it is helping Doc. Six months after diagnosis, Pankiewicz says Doc's quality of life remains high. He loves to play, is active, and still has a strong appetite. "There's no cure for what he has but we want him to be pain-free as long as possible and have a really high quality of life as long as possible," she says. "He's kind of the heart of our lives. So there was no question we were going to do whatever possible we could to give him more quality time." Both pet owners chose to use Canna Companion for their dogs. And both told us one of their key reasons for making that decision is because the company is run by three veterinarians who have used their product on dogs for years.

New_stream, adding subfolder
Hi all, I have a customer that i setup new_stream backups that works great, but one folder have subfolders growing large and i want to make a new stream for that folder, so my question is does netbackup exclude the top new_stream?
So if i should add
is dosent interfer with my NEW_STREAM E:\ProgrmData\ ? eg dubbel backups!?
Bellow is my policy
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
it does backup double . and its not because of the NEW_Stream entry.
its becasue of the Directry structure
E:\ProgramData includes all the files and folder below of that...
even you add the one more stream E:\ProgramData\Folder , it includes twice.
once in E:\ProgramData\Folder
another time in E:\ProgramData
the best option that you have is to make use of exclude list.
policy 1 add the selection E:\ProgramData and create a exclude list as exclude_list.policy1 and keep the entry E:\ProgramData\Folder
policy 2 add the backup selection as E:\ProgramData\Folder make a backup.

Delhiites who have benefitted from the Aam Aadmi Party government's free-water scheme may continue to get the subsidy if the State Government responds to the Delhi Jal Board's plea for funds before the first billing cycle in April.
At a meeting of the Board on Tuesday, members brought up the issue of continuing the subsidy past the end of this financial year. The scheme is expected to cost the DJB over Rs.41 crore for three months.
"Funding from the Delhi Government is vital for the continuation of the scheme. The Board has written to the government to ask for the money," said Board member Mira Aggarwal, who is the Leader of the House in the North Delhi Municipal Corporation.
Ms. Aggarwal added: "If the funds from the Delhi Government are received before the first bills are made in April, the scheme could be continued. Otherwise, it will have to end as the DJB doesn't have the money for it."
At Tuesday's meeting, the Board passed its interim budget for 2014-2015, which amounts to Rs.3,928.40 crore. The Board also discussed the financial burden on it due to the former government's water subsidy. The Arvind Kejriwal Government had started a scheme giving each household in the Capital 700 litres of free water per day.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Board said: "The final confirmation for provision of subsidy has not been received from the Delhi Government as yet. Therefore, the Board is seeking confirmation from the government on the same."
However, with no elected government in the Capital and the imposition of the model code of conduct soon, DJB member Sandeep Tanwar said he was not optimistic about getting the funds on time. "The subsidy has caused a loss of Rs.41 crore to the DJB. Where is that money coming from? It's not in the budget as the AAP Government never took it through the legal channel."
