When it comes to choosing lawyers to handle large, complex projects anywhere in the world, Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co offers a winning combination:
Experience - we advise on the most challenging and complex infrastructure and PPP projects being undertaken in the UK and internationally.
Trusted advisers - our lawyers are established advisers to government bodies, contractors, sponsors and funders, and have a strong track record of delivering strategically important and high value projects.
Commercial - we understand the full range of procurement models and advise on bid tactics and strategic procurement issues. Our team regularly advises on the sale and purchase of equity in PFI/PPP projects, different contracting structures including PFI/PPP, alliancing and partnering, wider markets initiative, outsourcing, prime contracting and long-term collaboration agreements.
Ranked a first tier firm by Legal 500, we benchmark international best practice from our experience in the UK (which is a world leader in PFI and PPP) added to our work in the Middle East and Africa on PPP projects.
Team members have acted for the UK Government for nearly 20 years and have successfully closed a number of PPPs for the Department of Health Commercial Directorate, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Defence.
Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co's lawyers are among the leading names for PFI/PPP work, with partner Stephen Kenny described as "... a deal doer and solution finder, and he knows a lot about the subject", while partner David Fennell is "diligent and commercial".
For international projects, partner Jonathan Brufal is considered a "great lawyer", who is "impressive, confident, articulate and knowledgeable".
Our expertise covers the following sectors:
For organisations involved in transport infrastructure projects, our team has a strong track record including ports, highways, rail and light rail projects. We advised on three of the largest highways PPP schemes: the £2.7 billion Birmingham Highways PFI, the £2 billion Sheffield Highways PPP, and March's £500 million M8 Project in Scotland.
Current international mandates include advising the Government of Rwanda on the development of several trade logistics PPP projects. Our lawyers are also working with the Kenya Ports Authority on restructuring the legal and regulatory framework for the ports sector in Kenya.
We won the Kenya mandate thanks to an impressive track record of advising on domestic and international maritime transactions, including the London Gateway Port and the Dakar, New Doha and Sokhna ports development projects.
The firm has extensive rail experience, having worked on rail and light concessions in the UK for many years and advising on the Kenyan, Ugandan and Zambian rail concession projects.
The Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co team is at the forefront of waste infrastructure development in the UK, making it the ideal choice for cutting-edge advice in this developing area. Skills and experience have been honed waste management and treatment projects, including energy from waste.
Stephen Kenny advised the South London Waste Partnership on the development of an energy-from-waste PPP at Beddington. This project won the "Best Waste/Energy/Water Project" Award at the 2013 Partnerships Awards.
Our team also advised Waste Recycling Group (part of FCC) on its successful bid to design, build and operate a landmark £145 million Energy from Waste facility for Lincolnshire County Council. Elsewhere in the UK, we act for bidders and funders on bids for waste PFI projects.
Internationally, team members advised CNM on the Bahrain Solid waste PPP project, the first project financed waste project in the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Clients choose our team for its market-leading knowledge of the defence sector, developed over time on a number of high-profile projects.
We acted for the UK Ministry of Defence on the CVF Carrier Project, the nuclear submarine programme and significant defence estates contracts. Our team also helped the MoD complete a major Air Traffic Services project to provide long-term air traffic management capability for the safe operation of all the MoD's main bases, airfields and air weapon ranges in the UK and overseas.
Further afield, our experts advised Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en matière d'Armement (OCCAR) on the re-negotiation of a ground-breaking contract for the development and supply of up to 170 A400M military transport aircraft from Airbus Military S.L.
Acting on PFI/PPP projects in the health, social care, leisure and, social housing and serviced accommodation sectors gives our team an in-depth understanding of the legal and commercial issues and opportunities. We advised Lovell on the £300 million North Tyneside Social Housing PFI and have extensive experience of acting on courts and secure accommodation PPP projects.
Our health expertise is bolstered by an ever-growing client list, which includes the biggest names among private sector healthcare providers, social care providers, life sciences, pharmaceuticals and the NHS. We advised the Worcestershire Acute Hospital NHS Trust on a project for the construction and operation of a new radiotherapy unit. The firm's Healthcare team has distinctive expertise and specialisms which set it apart from other healthcare practices.
Infrastructure clients include Abengoa, Amec, Amey, BNP Paribas, Equitix, Gloucestershire County Council, Government of Rwanda, Government of Kenya, Health Authority of Abu Dhabi, International Finance Corporate, London Borough of Croydon, Ministry of Defence, Morgan Sindall, National Health Service, Shropshire Council, South London Waste Partnership and TradeMark East Africa.

For local tradition, few places in Atlanta can hold a candle to Spondivits. While the food is great, it's the party atmosphere and smiling faces that have set the place apart for the past 20 years. Among its credentials, the menu includes shellfish, gumbo and clam chowder as the people's choice for tastiest in Atlanta. The seafood is tops, while good salads, burgers and beef entrees round out the choices. Full and lively bar service is available.

|Time division of Time Warner
|United States
|Based in

Entertainment Weekly (sometimes abbreviated as EW) is an American magazine, published by the Time division of Time Warner, that covers film, television, music, broadway theatre, books and popular culture. Unlike celebrity-focused publications Us Weekly, People Weekly, and In Touch Weekly, EW's primary concentration is on entertainment media news and critical reviews. Unlike Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, which are aimed at industry insiders, EW targets a more general audience.
Created by Jeff Jarvis and founded by David Morris, who served as publisher until October 2007[1], the magazine's original television advertising soliciting pre-publication subscribers portrayed it as a consumer guide to popular culture, including movies, music, and book reviews, sometimes with video game and stage reviews, too. ("the post-modern Farmers' Almanac").[clarification needed]
The first issue was published on February 16, 1990, and featured singer k.d. lang on its cover. The title word "entertainment" was not capitalized on the cover until mid-1992 and has remained so since. By 2003, the magazine's weekly circulation averaged 1.7 million copies per week. In March 2006, managing editor Rick Tetzeli oversaw an overhaul of EW's graphics and layout to reflect a more-modern look.[citation needed]
The magazine features celebrities on the cover and addresses topics such as television ratings, movie grosses, production costs, concert ticket sales, ad budgets, and in-depth articles about scheduling, producers, showrunners, etc.
It publishes several "double issues" each year (usually in January, May, June and/or August) that are available on newsstands for two weeks; because the magazine numbers its issues sequentially, it counts each double issue as "two" issues so that it can fulfil its marketing claim of 52 issues per year for subscribers.
Entertainment Weekly follows a typical magazine format by featuring a letters to the editor and table of contents in the first few pages, while also featuring advertisements. While many advertisements are unrelated to the entertainment industry, the majority of ads are typically related to up-and-coming television, film or music events.
These beginning articles open the magazine and as a rule focus on current events in pop culture. The whole section typically runs eight to ten pages long, and features short news articles, as well as several specific recurring sections:
There are typically four to six major articles (one to two pages each) within the middle pages of the magazine. These articles are most commonly interviews, but there are also narrative articles as well as lists. Feature articles tend to focus mostly on movies, music and television and less on books and the theatre. In the magazine's history, there have only been a few cover stories (e.g., John Grisham, Stephen King) devoted to authors; there has never been a cover solely devoted to the theater.
There are seven sections of reviews in the back pages of each issue (together encompassing up to one half of the magazine's pages). In addition to reviews, each reviews section has a top-sellers list, as well as numerous sidebars with interviews or small features. Unlike a number of European magazines that give their ratings with a number of stars (with normally 4 or 5 stars for the best review), EW grades the reviews academic-style, so that the highest reviews will get a letter grade of "A" and the lowest reviews get an "F", with plus or minus graduations in between assigned to each letter except "F".
The sections are:
This section occupies the back page of the magazine, rating the "hits" and "misses" from the past week's events in popular culture on a bullseye graphic. For example, the May 22, 2009, edition featured Justin Timberlake hosting Saturday Night Live in the center, while the then-drama between Eminem and Mariah Carey missed the target completely for being "very 2002". At the time when this was printed on a small part of a page, events that were greatly disliked were shown several pages away.
Every year the magazine publishes several specialty issues. These issues are often published as double issues (running for two consecutive weeks). Many times these features are so long that they replace all other feature articles.
Common specialty issues include:
The 1,000th issue was released July 4, 2008, and included the magazine's top-100 list for movies, television shows, music videos, songs, Broadway shows, and technology of the past twenty-five years (1983–2008).
As of its 1,001st issue, EW drastically revamped the look, feel and content of the publication — increasing font and picture sizes and making all columns' word count shorter.
The magazine's website EW.com, under managing editor Cyndi Stivers (creator of TimeOut New York),[3] provides users with daily content, breaking news, blogs, original video programming, entertainment exclusives and serves as an archive for past magazine interviews, columns and photos.
As of April 2011, EW.com was ranked as one of the ten most popular Entertainment News property in the United States by comScore Media Metrix.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

To take off the handle it needs to be unscrewed on the top piece and it just slides off the bottom screw in the front of the door. What you need to know is that the "bumpers" that are right next to the handle have to come out. Simply ply them up with a kitchen knife. Then you slide the handle up on the screw til it "locks" in place, then gently but firmly bring it up over the corner of the door and set it in the right place. Insert the screws you originally removed and you are all set.

On July 8, 2010, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published proposed modifications to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy, Security and Enforcement Rules (the Proposed Rules) implementing the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The purpose of the Proposed Rules is to strengthen the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) and to clarify the HIPAA rules, but they also contain two key provisions of particular interest to researchers. The adoption of one provision would permit authorizations for future, unspecified research; the other would permit compound authorizations for research-related uses and disclosures of PHI. HHS collaborated with the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) to develop the research proposals and will coordinate any changes with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

I love Lord of the Rings, and couldn't wait for this game.
edit: I was so close, and I don't even like Lord of the Rings that much.
One does not simply walk into a Quick Look.
War in the North? Is this the follow up to the Civil War: Civil War II: Lee's Revenge?
The North shall rise again!
This game is badass. Surprisingly good graphics and looks like it will be pretty long too.
The novelty of chopping dudes heads off in the LOTR-fiction doesn't wear off easily either.
@Erlog: I really enjoy the first Lord of the Rings movie, and that's it.
The only thing I want to know if there's local co-op on PC.
looks nice
Is there going to be a "you have my axe" reference/joke in this video? If not, Giant Bomb is officially not allowed to operate on the internet anymore.
Is this DA2 looks similar. A RPG in name only. Looks better then dragon age but that's not saying much.
lol! Even the UI reminds me of DA:O. Snowblind apparently loves DA:O.
P.S. - Yes, Dragon Age is better than Lord of the Rings. LotR's boring.
This looks a lot like Dragon Age, even the menus.
I love Snowblind games, I love LoTR. I'm probably going to buy this regardless of quality.
Nope, I'll stick with Dark Souls.
And yup, the Dark Alliance/Champions of Norrath games were pretty cool but none of them came close to the Diablo games.
I was going to say a talking eagle is dumb because a bird's lack of lips would make forming human sounds incredibly difficult, but then I realized how ridiculous that criticism would be.
These kinds of games in LotR isn't a big deal to me, but the type of magic they portray isn't really the type of magic that exists in the Tolkien books...
LotR still sells?
"Thanks, giant drug-trip eagle!" is possibly the best quote from a Quick Look in a while. Someone with talent now needs to make a picture of Jeff and Ryan riding a giant eagle.
Pretty cool Dark Alliance/Champions vibe, with a little Dragon Age in there.
Kind of annoying with the misinformation in quick looks. No, you cannot reset your attributes on the fly, nor do you need potions to get mana back.

@Drakoji said:

There is not, unfortunately. For that reason, I may have to get it on PS3 since my daughter's computer is not up to speed.
I want a game where the mages need to reload their staffs.
I'm a LotR purist, I guess, so maybe I'm weird that it bothers me, but that's just not how magic works in Tolkien's universe. And most especially not with elves.
Gandalf doesn't chuck fireballs.
I'm such a nerd... !
Edit: Who is Aragorn? I don't even...
Ok, I can see not having an interest in seeing the movies. But to exist in gaming culture and not have read LotR... I mean, just for his job he should. Fanatasy wouldn't exist in its current form, Sci-fi would be drastically different, were it not for Tolkien. Thus, the gaming landscape would be another beast altogether. Man. Poor Jeff.
Double edit: Then again, if all he's been exposed to is tripe like this, I can see why he has no interest.
@014: Aww... sucks... I don't want to pay more than 49$ for this... Oh well.
Let's wait for price drop.
Does this game have graphics?
Not bad looking.
One Jeff to rule them all,
One Ryan to find them,
One Vinny to bring them all
and in the darkness, "Brad" them.
I'm disappointed that they didn't play this local co-op at all. This game was made to be played couch co-op.I'd like to see how it handled split screen and inventory with two players on the same system.
I don't know half of the games half as well as they should like; and I like less than half of the games half as well as they deserve.
This looks a lot better than I thought it would be.
I guess I was thinking it would be more like that other LotR game that came out like last year or something. The one where with the competitive online and stuff? I can't remember the name at all.
Yep, they totally copied the interface from DA2. Good for them I guess!
Looks alright as a rental and I happen to like LOTR.
Don't hassle it Ryan, Jeff is in one of his moods again. yes, the game world is pretty brown....our world, depends. Good at sticking to point on the compare/contrast lord of the rings vs dragon age 2- black blood.
And it is a godam eagle...should be. Yessss, the twins..wrong twins. the Eagles figure in Lord of the Rings, you first hear of them in The Hobbit.
The dwarf looks a bit like Ryan......heheh no he found the mirror, not any more.
I love loot driven action RPG's and i love LotR so...i will have to get this.
Also i wish it was called War of the (Nolan) North instead. Perhaps he could play two pivotal roles, good guy and bad guy. War of the North.
That dwarf totally looks like Ryan with that beard.
Something about this game gives me the vibe of a good downloadable title, not a full release...combat just seems lackluster

That's great.
Of course Nolan North is in this. His name is even in the title.
I might pick this up. liked champions of norrath and return to arms a lot, and I like the lotr backdrop. graphics are alright too
If this would have come out any other week but a week in November I would have bought it, now, not so much.
Watching this reminds me that I hate the LotR.
Say what you will about this game, but why the fuck is it coming out now? Even if the publisher were to actually advertise this game, which to me seems like they haven't at all done that, they still would'nt crack 100k in sales globally. If they would have shown some patience and business smarts and released it in jan/feb it would probably do a fair bit better. Tl;dr: bad release date+0 advertising= 3 copies sold, Snowblind get's shut down, I buy it for $20 from Amazon 3 months later.
Jeff's never seen the movies? My whole world has been turned upside down face...
Finally, realistic clothing.
Does anyone know why Giantbomb's HD (maybe SD but havent tried) videos start spazing out on occasion and flickering? It's been happening for quite a while now. Most quicklooks do it. Probably 50% of them. It's kind of annoying when it happens frequently.

You realize LOTR has been around since the fifties right?

That's great.
... nothing rhymes with Brad. I'm just sayin'.
This looks pretty poor. Combat seems... uninteresting. Maybe Dark Souls has done a job on me, but I really have no interest in mindless hammer-on-two-buttons gameplay right now.

Steve Ryan, Corporate Litigator at McDermott, Will and Emery
The Defense Department is not keeping track of all the senior officials who leave for jobs with contractors. Congress requires those officials, including flag officers and generals, to get written legal opinions before moving on. Lots of paperwork involved. But at DoD, the inspector general says the database that tracks the moves is incomplete. In this week's Legal Loop, Steve Ryan, an experienced corporate litigator and head of the government strategies practice at McDermott, Will and Emery, talks to Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp about the revolving door at the Pentagon.

This movie has everything up its sleeve and presto chango at its core, ending in defiance to the plot's established logic before viewers realize they've been had.
Now You See Me can't quite claim to be the ideal crime drama – that would be "The Usual Suspects," which justly won an Oscar for its script – but it's only one level down.

Jun 14, 2013This was one of my worst movie experiences in the past ten years: terribly derivative, intellectually insulting, and a complete waste of time.This was one of my worst movie experiences in the past ten years: terribly derivative, intellectually insulting, and a complete waste of time. The sequence of events are too convenient for a heist movie, so the magic element had to be thrown in. However, the magic show scenes are too boring, and the interplay between the characters is too dull to be a magic movie...so some heist element had to be thrown in. This was my general take it is neither one nor the other, nor good enough to be either.
The bright spots in the movie are Dave Franco and Mélanie Laurent (Shosanna from Inglourious Basterds), the only two actors given real characters and a chance to turn in decent performances. Everyone else plays a smug version of themselves.
Any specific complaint about the movie would include spoilers, so here are some surface-level observations:
Acting mediocre, with hints of terrible by Mark Ruffalo.
Plot much more convenient than clever, with "magic" used to explain away impossible plot points.
Dialog snarky and witty (excluding Ruffalo's character), but so much so that there are no real characters, just one-liner automatons.
Plot twists there are no real plot twists...if you think "what is the most ridiculous thing that can happen in this situation," that is exactly what will happen.
The ending I almost threw up in my empty pop-corn box. Saccharine doesn't come close to describing it.
Overall philosophy Magic exists? Insurance companies are evil? Revenge is sweet? Love pops up in the strangest places?… Full Review »

They are all talented enough not to waste their time on stuff like this A bank getting robbed in this movie, I got robbed. The thing you don't see coming sitting through and getting nothing in return. I would rather sit through a boring Las Vegas magic show. No you me telling every disappear yourselves from this one.

I cannot understand these positive reviews other than they'reThis is possibly the worst film i've ever seen, and i'm not saying that lightly. I cannot understand these positive reviews other than they're mentally deficient or paid to do so.
Basically the plot is a poorly executed mess. The film itself lies to the audience, so when the lame twists happen they just feel like the writers trying to get back on course. It's like a script that's not gone through so much as one revised draft.
The only way to explain the cast, budget, etc. is that the film simply fell apart in production. Perhaps the emphasis was put on all the wrong aspects.
If you like this... I can't respect you. It's wholly broken. I'd sooner watch Human Centipede, Battleship or a rom com.… Full Review »

The city of Providence has adopted a new "one-strike" policy for strip clubs. The new ordinance is aimed at cracking down on prostitution.
The Providence City council approved the ordinance after pushback from the Mayor's office and the police department over an incident at Cheaters Gentlemen's club last year. Police found a fourteen year old girl working at the club, and soliciting for sex. The city's board of licenses gave Cheaters a five-thousand dollar fine, and suspended their license for 45-days. But critics said that was little more than a slap on the wrist.
Providence Mayor Angel Taveras wants to use a one-strike policy to close strip clubs that permit a single instance of prostitution or hiring underage strippers. This comes after police found that a 14-year-old girl working at Cheaters was soliciting for sex at the club.
Taveras' spokesman, David Ortiz, says the mayor was disappointed by how the Providence Board of Licenses recently fined Cheaters 5000 dollars and suspended its license for 45 days. Ortiz said Taveras supports using any permissible legal means to keep Cheaters closed.

Catawba County is beginning development of a plan to sustain agricultural land in the county that will focus on economic development for agriculture and the recruitment of young farmers.
The public is invited to submit ideas and suggestions online at http://www.catawbacountync.gov/Planning/Sustainability/ or at a set of public workshops scheduled for July.
Catawba officials disagreed this week on a budget that cuts overall town fire department spending by more than 18 percent.
With a vote of 3-2, Catawba Town Council approved a $913,567 budget that maintains the town's current tax rate of 48 cents per $100 of valuation and attempts to cut down on the use of town savings, or its fund balance.
State senators and local officials are lobbying the state Department of Transportation to install a stoplight at what they say is one of the area's most dangerous intersections.
A Catawba man has been charged with murder in the death of a local woman found dead inside a burning car Thursday in Sherrills Ford.
Police charged Jermaine Wilkes, 32, of 2282 Edna St. in Catawba, with murder, burning personal property and destroying remains to conceal a death. He is being held in the Catawba County Detention Center under a $150,000 bond.
After a long break off from winning the state Kepner Cup last fall, the Catawba Valley Youth Soccer Association (CVYSA) ŌĆś95 Blast Blue girls soccer team is ready to compete at the Region III President Cup tournament today in Greensboro.
Coming off a 3-1 victory against Twins Silver at the state Kepner Cup two weeks ago, the ŌĆś96 Blast Blue boys soccer team heads into todayŌĆÖs Region III Presidents Cup tournament carrying momentum.
To read more of this story, pick up the Friday edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.
Behind 14 hits, the Hickory Crawdads topped the Charleston RiverDogs in their series finale Thursday in South Carolina.
Hickory (32-27) scored two runs in the first inning and three runs in the fourth inning to pull out to the 5-0 lead and remain ahead the entire ball game.
Five Crawdads drove in one run each, including catcher Kellin Deglan, who hit a solo home run.
Newton City Council has not yet adopted its budget due to disagreement on a proposed electric rate hike of about 6 percent for the 2012-13 fiscal year.
Such a hike would increase the average Newton customerŌĆÖs monthly bill by $7.43, or $89.16 a year. The average Newton power customerŌĆÖs bill would climb to $123.46 per month.
Willie "Muh" Brooks Ray, 85, of Lincolnton, departed this life Monday, June 4, 2012, at the Cardinal Health Care and Rehabilitation Center of Lincolnton. E.F. Drum Funeral Home is serving the Ray family.
Catawba County authorities launched a homicide investigation after discovering a dead body inside a burning car Thursday in rural Sherrills Ford.
Sheriff Coy Reid said investigators are searching for leads in a situation where he thinks foul play was involved.

John Forbes Nash, Jr. was an American mathematician whose works in game theory, differential geometry, and partial differential equations have provided insight into the factors that govern chance and events inside complex systems in daily life.
His theories are used in economics, computing, evolutionary biology, artificial intelligence, accounting, politics and military theory. Serving as a Senior Research Mathematician at Princeton University during the latter part of his life, he shared the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with game theorists Reinhard Selten and John Harsanyi. In 2015, he was awarded theAbel Prize (along with Louis Nirenberg) for his work on nonlinear partial differential equations.
In 1959, Nash began showing clear signs of mental illness, and spent several years at psychiatric hospitals being treated for paranoid schizophrenia. After 1970, his condition slowly improved, allowing him to return to academic work by the mid-1980s. His struggles with his illness and his recovery became the basis for Sylvia Nasar's biography, A Beautiful Mind, as well as a film of the same name starring Russell Crowe.

Help for fields of dreams in DeSoto County
In addition to specialty crops, Natural Resources Conservation Service initiatives include:
On-Farm Energy. The program aims to make agricultural lands more efficient through conservation practices such as energy-management plans and farmstead energy improvements. Producers in all 82 counties of Mississippi are eligible to apply.
Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds: Improves water quality in Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi River through conservation practices like irrigation water management and drainage water management. Producers in the Coldwater River and Sunflower River watersheds in the Delta region are eligible to apply.
"This is a popular program and we'll use up all the money we get for that one," said NRCS district conservationist Scott Griffith.
Organic: Supports organic operations through conservation practices including conservation crop rotation, residue management/no-till/strip till/direct seeding and cover crop. Producers in all 82 counties are eligible.
Seasonal High Tunnel: Bolsters local food systems and lengthens growing season through this practice. Producers in all 82 counties are eligible to apply, and "we already have one applied for," said Griffith. Added NRCS soil technician Seth Steadham: "There's one farmer in Tate County with three or four already."
Beginning Farmer: Provides support to new farmers through practices such as fencing and prescribed grazing. Producers who have operated a farm for less than 10 years are eligible.
Limited Resource Farmer and Socially Disadvantaged Farmer: Gives assistance to new farmers through practices including ponds and heavy-use protection areas.
To be considered a limited-resource farmer or rancher, an applicant must have direct or indirect gross farm sales of not more than the current indexed value — $172,800 — in each of the previous two years; and total household income at or below the national poverty level for a family of four, or less than 50 percent of county median household income in the previous two years.
A socially disadvantaged producer is from a group whose members have been subject to racial or ethnic prejudice because of their identity as members of a group without regard to their individual qualities. This includes American Indians and Alaskan Natives, Asians, African-Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics.
Applicants self-certify; gender alone is not a covered group for the purposes of NRCS conservation programs.
Livestock: Helps livestock operations through stream crossings, cross fencing, ponds and other projects. Livestock producers in all 82 counties are eligible to apply.
These initiatives are funded through Farm Bill conservation programs such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program, which provides financial assistance for a variety of conservation activities. Applicants in the DeSoto-Tate area can sign up at the NRCS office at 3260 U.S. 51 South, south of the Hernando square. For more information, call 662-429-8687.

In November, veteran hospital administrator Jeffrey P. Winter took the role as regional chief administrative officer for Providence Health & Services, California.
Winter, with nearly three decades of experience in healthcare leadership, has administrative oversight of state-monitored construction projects including the completion of the Roy and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center set to open in February at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank and the 142-bed expansion of Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills.
"Jeff has a stellar track record for managing multiple facilities, a keen understanding of market-based strategic leadership and great instincts for initiating improvements," said Arnold R. Schaffer, vice president and chief executive of Providence California.
Regional directors overseeing project management, compliance with healthcare regulations, information systems and the organization's fund-raising foundations will report to Winter, as will administrators of the Providence Medical Institute physicians group based in the South Bay and Providence High School in Burbank.
"Providence is the gold standard in Southern California for quality, faith-based health care," Winter said. "I'm excited to be a part this growing organization with its vibrant culture and dedication to excellence."
Winter has worked for Catholic Healthcare West, Hospital Corporation of America, American Healthcare Management, Inc., Republic Health Corporation and Children's Hospital San Francisco. He has expertise in governance systems, physician relations and employee organizational development.
He received his undergraduate degree in psychology/health education from California State University, San Francisco, graduating cum laude. He earned his master's in healthcare administration from Golden Gate University, San Francisco, again graduating cum laude.
Winter replaces Matt Gerlach, who resigned earlier this year.

This time it was really serious. This was about the worst thing that could happen to a high school girl. Well, the second worst. At least she wasn't pregnant.
Cherry had been caught spiking the punch at the senior prom this evening by the principal, Mr. Cornwell, and expelled on the spot. The worst of it was, she wasn't even guilty! Not that anyone was going to believe her. Because most of the time she was.
Her best friend, Tessa Ramos, had brought the pint bottle of whiskey to the dance. Cherry had been trying to talk Tessa out of spiking the punch—had just taken the bottle from Tessa's hand—when Mr. Cornwell caught her with it.
He had snatched it away with a look of dismay and said, "I'm ashamed of you, young lady. It's bad enough when your behavior disrupts class. An irresponsible act like this has farther-reaching ramifications."
"But, Mr. Cornwell, I was only—"
"You're obviously incorrigible, Ms. Whitelaw."
Cherry hated being called that. Incorrigible. Being incorrigible meant no one wanted her because she was too much trouble. Except Zach and Rebecca had. They had loved her no matter what she did. They would believe in her this time, too. But that didn't change the fact she had let them down. Again.
"You're expelled," Mr. Cornwell had said, his rotund face nearly as red as Cherry's hair, but not quite, because nothing could ever be quite that red. "You will leave this dance at once. I'll be in touch with your parents tomorrow."
No amount of argument about her innocence had done any good, because she had been unwilling to name her best friend as the real culprit. She might be a troublemaker, but she was no rat.
Mr. Cornwell's pronouncement had been final. She was out. She wasn't going to graduate with the rest of her class. She would have to come back for summer school.
Rebecca was going to cry when she found out. And Zach was going to get that grim-lipped look that meant he was really upset.
Cherry felt a little like crying herself. She had no idea why she was so often driven to wild behavior. She only knew she couldn't seem to stop. And it wasn't going to do any good to protest her innocence this time. She had been guilty too often in the past.
"Hey, Cherry! You gonna sit there mopin' all night, or what?"
Cherry glanced at her prom date, Ray Estes. He lay sprawled on the grass beside her at the stock pond on the farthest edge of Hawk's Pride, her father's ranch, where she had retreated in defeat. Her full-length, pale green chiffon prom dress, which had made her feel like a fairy princess earlier in the evening, was stained with dirt and grass.
Ray's tuxedo was missing the jacket, bow tie, and cummerbund, and his shirt was unbuttoned halfway to his waist. He was guzzling the fourth can of a six-pack of beer he had been slowly but surely consuming since they had arrived at the pond an hour ago.
Cherry sat beside him holding the fifth can, but it was still nearly full. Somehow she didn't feel much like getting drunk. She had to face her parents sometime tonight, and that would only be adding insult to injury.
"C'mon, Cherry, give us a li'l kiss," Ray said, dragging himself upright with difficulty and leaning toward her.
She braced a palm in the smooth center of his chest to keep him from falling onto her. "You're drunk, Ray."
Ray grinned. "Shhure am. How 'bout that kiss, Cher-ry?"
"No, Ray."
"Aww, why not?"
"I got thrown out of school tonight, Ray. I don't feel like kissing anybody."
"Not even me?" Ray said.
Cherry laughed at the woeful, hangdog look on his face and shook her head. "Not even you." Ray was good fun most of the time. He drank a little too much, and he drove a little too fast, and his grades hadn't been too good. But she hadn't been in a position to be too picky.
She had dreamed sometimes of what it might be like to be one of the "good girls" and have "nice boys" calling her up to ask for dates. It hadn't happened. She was the kind of trouble nice boys stayed away from.
"C'mon, Cher-ry," Ray said. "Gimme li'l kiss."
He teetered forward, and the sheer weight of him forced her backward so she was lying flat on the ground. Cherry was five-eleven in her stocking feet and could run fast enough to make the girls' track team—if she hadn't always been in too much trouble to qualify. But Ray was four inches taller and forty pounds heavier. She turned her head away to avoid his slobbery, seeking lips, which landed on her cheeks and chin.
"I said no, Ray. Get off!" She shoved uselessly at his heavy body, a sense of panic growing inside her.
"Aww, Cher-ry," he slurred drunkenly. "You know you want it." His hand closed around her breast.
"Ray! No!" she cried. She grabbed his wrist and yanked it away and heard the chiffon rip as his grasping fingers held fast to the cloth. "Ray, please!" she pleaded.
Then she felt his hand on her bare flesh. "No, Ray. No!"
"Gonna have you, Cher-ry," Ray muttered. "Always wanted to. Know you want it, too."
Cherry suddenly realized she might be in even worse trouble than she'd thought.
Billy Stonecreek was in trouble. Again. His former mother-in-law, Penelope Trask, was furious because he had gotten into a little fight in a bar in town and spent the night in jail—for the third time in a year.
He had a live-in housekeeper to stay with his daughters, so they were never alone. He figured he'd been a pretty damned good single parent to his six-year-old twins, Raejean and Annie, ever since their mother's death a year ago. But you'd never know it to hear Penelope talk.
Hell, a young man of twenty-five who worked hard on his ranch from dawn to dusk all week deserved to sow a few wild oats at week's end. His ears rang with the memory of their confrontation in his living room earlier that evening.
"You're a drunken half-breed," Penelope snapped, "not fit to raise my grandchildren. And if I have anything to say about it, you won't have them for much longer!"
Billy felt a burning rage that Penelope should say such a thing while Raejean and Annie were standing right there listening. Especially since he hadn't been the least bit drunk. He'd been looking for a fight, all right, and he'd found it in a bar, but that was all.
There was no hope his daughters hadn't heard Penelope. Their Nintendo game continued on the living room TV, but both girls were staring wide-eyed at him. "Rae-jean. Annie. Go upstairs while I talk to Nana."
"But, Daddy—" Raejean began. She was the twin who took control of every situation.
"Not a word," he said in a firm voice. "Go."
Annie's dark brown eyes welled with tears. She was the twin with the soft heart.
He wanted to pick them both up and hug them, but he forced himself to point an authoritative finger toward the doorway. "Upstairs and get your baths and get ready for bed. Mrs. Motherwell will be up to help in a minute." He had hired the elderly woman on the spot when he heard her name. She had proven equal to it.
Raejean shot him a reproachful look, took Annie's hand, and stomped out of the room with Annie trailing behind her.
Once they were gone, Billy turned his attention back to his nemesis. "What is it this time, Penelope?"
"This time! What is it every time? You drove my Laura to kill herself, and now you're neglecting my grandchildren. I've had it. I went to see a lawyer today. I've filed for custody of my granddaughters."
A chill of foreboding crawled down Billy's spine. "You've done what?"
"You heard me. I want custody of Raejean and Annie."
"Those are my children you're talking about."
"They'll have a better life with me than they will with a half-breed like you."
"Being part Comanche isn't a crime, Penelope. Lots of people in America are part something. Hell, you're probably part Irish or English or French yourself."
"Your kind has a reputation for not being able to hold their liquor. Obviously, it's a problem for you, too. I don't intend to let my grandchildren suffer for it."
A flush rose on Billy's high, sharp cheekbones. He refused to defend himself. It was none of Penelope's business whether he drank or not. But he didn't. He went looking for a fight when the pain built up inside, and he needed a release for it. But he chose men able to defend themselves, he fought clean, and he willingly paid the damages afterward.
He hated the idea of kowtowing to Penelope, but he didn't want a court battle with her, either. She and her husband, Harvey Trask, were wealthy; he was not. In fact, the Trasks had given this ranch—an edge carved from the larger Trask ranching empire—as a wedding present to their daughter, Laura, thereby ensuring that the newlyweds would stay close to home.
He had resented their generosity at first, but he had grown to love the land, and now he was no more willing to give up the Stonecreek Ranch than he was to relinquish his children.
But his behavior over the past year couldn't stand much scrutiny. He supposed the reason he had started those few barroom brawls wouldn't matter to a judge. And he could never have revealed to anyone the personal pain that had led to such behavior. So he had no excuses to offer Penelope—or a family court judge, either.
"Look, Penelope, I'm sorry. What if I promise—"
"Don't waste your breath. I never wanted my daughter to marry a man like you in the first place. My granddaughters deserve to be raised in a wholesome household where they won't be exposed to your kind."
"What kind is that?" Billy asked pointedly.
"The kind that doesn't have any self-respect, and therefore can't pass it on to their children."
Billy felt his stomach roll. It was a toss-up whether he felt more humiliated or furious at her accusation. "I have plenty of self-respect."
"Could have fooled me!" Penelope retorted.
"I'm not letting you take my kids away from me."
"You can't stop me." She didn't argue with him further, simply headed for the front door—she never used the back, as most people in this part of Texas did. "I'll see you in court, Billy." Then she was gone.
Billy stood in the middle of the toy-strewn living room, furnished with the formal satin-covered couches and chairs Laura had chosen, feeling helpless. Moments later he was headed for the back door. He paused long enough to yell up the stairs, "I'm going out, Mrs. Moth-erwell. Good night, Raejean. Good night, Annie."
"Good night, Daddy!" the two of them yelled back from the bathtub in unison.
Mrs. Motherwell appeared at the top of the stairs. "Don't forget this is my last week, Mr. Stonecreek. You'll need to find someone else starting Monday morning."
"I know, Mrs. Motherwell," Billy said with a sigh. He had Penelope to thank for that, too. She had filled Mrs. Motherwell's head with stories about him being a dangerous savage. His granite-hewn features, his un-trimmed black hair, his broad shoulders and immense height, and a pair of dark, brooding eyes did nothing to dispel the image. But he couldn't help how he looked. "Don't worry, Mrs. Motherwell. I'll find someone to replace you."
He was the one who was worried. How was he going to find someone as capable as Mrs. Motherwell in a week? It had taken him a month to find her.
He let the kitchen screen door slam and gunned the engine in his black pickup as he drove away. But he couldn't escape his frenetic thoughts.
I'll be damned if I let Penelope take my kids away from me. Who does she think she is? How dare she threaten to steal my children!
He knew his girls needed a mother. Sometimes he missed Laura so much it made his gut ache. But no other woman could ever take her place. He had hired a series of good housekeeper/nannies one after another—it was hard to get help to stay at his isolated ranch—and he and his girls had managed fine.
Or they would, if Penelope and Harvey Trask would leave them alone.
Unfortunately, Penelope blamed him for Laura's death. She had been killed instantly in a car accident that had looked a whole lot like a suicide. Billy had tried telling Penelope that Laura hadn't killed herself, but his mother-in-law hadn't believed him. Penelope Trask had said she would see that he was punished for making Laura so miserable she had taken her own life. Now she was threatening to take his children from him.
He couldn't bear to lose Raejean and Annie. They were the light of his life and all he had left of Laura. God, how he had loved her!
Billy pounded his fist on the steering wheel of his pickup. How could he have been so stupid as to give Penelope the ammunition she needed to shoot him down in court?
It was too late to do anything about his wild reputation. But he could change his behavior. He could stop brawling in bars. If only there were some way he could show the judge he had turned over a new leaf…
Billy didn't drive in any particular direction, yet he eventually found himself at the stock pond he shared with Zach Whitelaw's ranch. The light from the rising moon and stars made a silvery reflection on the center of the pond and revealed the shadows of several pin
oaks that surrounded it. He had always found the sounds of the bullfrogs and the crickets and the lapping water soothing to his inner turmoil. He had gone there often to think in the year since Laura had died.
His truck headlights revealed someone else had discovered his sanctuary. He smiled wistfully when he realized a couple was lying together on the grass. He felt a stab of envy. He and Laura had spent their share of stolen moments on the banks of this stock pond when the land had belonged to her father.
He almost turned the truck around, because he wanted to be alone, but there was something about the movements of the couple on the ground that struck him as odd. It took him a moment to realize they weren't struggling in the throes of passion. The woman was trying to fight the man off!
He hit the brakes, shoved open his truck door, and headed for them on the run. He hadn't quite reached the girl when he heard her scream of outrage.

The Temporary Groom
Joan Johnston writes people. This book was originally written in 1996 and has been incorporated into the dual Harlequin book Hawk's Way Rebels in 2011. It is paired with The Virgin Groom.
Joan's characters become your friends and/or your enemies. You wait for the next episode. Who but Joan knew that two characters such as Billy and Cherrie would be a perfect match? Yet she presents them so that no other outcome is possible.
Joan doesn't generally skimp on any character traits, including the sexual relationship between her characters and these two are no exception. If you are interested in real characters that develop a real relationship, this is a book for you. If you are not interested in a book where the sexual relationship is explored, then I advise you to bypass this one.

In The Cowboy Takes A Wife, Desiree Parrish is desperately seeking a man to protect her from her abusive first spouse. Big Carter Prescott must find a way into her heart through gentleness and understanding, but will he come to care for Desiree enough before the nightmare of abuse returns?
Falcon Whitelaw desired Mara Ainsworth the moment he saw her - but she was already wed to another man. Unfortunately, Mara blames Falcon for her drunken husband's death, but circumstances throw them together again. Susannah, Mara's little daughter, is very ill. It will take a lot of money, time and care to see Susannah well again and Mara can think of only one man capable of saving them both. The Unforgiving Bride was inspiring and a lesson for us all to treasure the ones we love every moment of every single day.

text: The Associated PressINEZ -- A federal prison guard in eastern Kentucky took $3,000 in exchange for smuggling drugs to an inmate on three occasions, a federal indictment alleges.The allegations are in a new indictment of Alice Marie Stapleton, 30, who faces five charges of either possessing drugs or conspiring to smuggle contraband into the prison. A prison spokeswoman said Stapleton was suspended indefinitely.A federal grand jury on Monday issued a new indictment of Stapleton, adding charges and detailing more alleged conspirators, including an inmate at the prison and his mother.The indictment says inmate Personne E. McGhee arranged for his mother, Clady McGhee of Fort Wayne, Ind., to pick up heroin and marijuana for him and bring the drugs to Kentucky in January, March and July. Stapleton is accused of picking up the drugs at a motel in Paintsville and sneaking them into the prison, the indictment said.Guards are not subject to being searched on entering the prison, the indictment noted.Stapleton is charged in the new indictment with seven counts of either conspiring to smuggle drugs into the prison or possessing drugs with intent to distribute them. The others charged are Kenneth Bates, who was an inmate at the prison and allegedly took part in the smuggling; Maria "Re Re" Mims, who allegedly supplied drugs to Personne McGhee's mother in Indianapolis; and Temeka Halliburton, charged with helping get and deliver the drugs to Kentucky.Personne McGhee pleaded guilty Oct. 10 to being part of the conspiracy. His mother and Grady Perry of Fort Wayne, Ind., who drove her to pick up and deliver drugs in one case, have also filed motions to plead guilty, court records show.
