MONDAY - May 17, 2010
RALEIGH - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that in federal court today another person pled guilty in the on-going multi-defendant crop insurance fraud investigation. RODNEY ALLEN BENTON, 42, of Spring Hope, North Carolina, pled guilty before United States District Judge James C. Dever, III, to two counts of making material false statements, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001.
A Criminal Information was filed on March 29, 2010.
The on-going investigation of crop insurance fraud in Eastern North Carolina has revealed the use of check cashers by farmers who are trying to hide their tobacco sales. Between August 2006 and October 2007, law enforcement officers determined that 31 tobacco checks totaling approximately $1,000,000.00 were cashed at DENTON's convenience store at Strickland's Crossroad in Nash County, North Carolina. DENTON had obtained the checks from one person, and the checks were payable in nominee names.
On October 16, 2008, and again on February 12, 2009, DENTON falsely claimed, during an interview with law enforcement, that either he or his employee saw each payee on the check and verified their identifications.
North Carolina check cashers are required to be registered with the Office of the Commissioner of Banks, and under certain circumstances, must also register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
At sentencing, scheduled for August 16, 2010, DENTON faces up to five years' imprisonment followed by up to three years supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.00.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigations, the United States Department of Agriculture - Office of Inspector General, and Risk Management Agency - Special Investigations Branch. Assistant United States Attorney Banumathi Rangarajan, with the Office's Economic Crimes Unit, represented the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

My DIY Floral Pants...
I never wanted a pair of floral pants. At least I thought I didn't. Then the floral pants trend exploded all over Spring 2011 and 2012 and then I started to see cool pics of regular people wearing them all over Pinterest (like here and here) and I said to myself, "self, that's a pretty cool look that you just might be able to pull off." My sis-in-law gave me the (thrifted) dress that I used to make the pants back in 2009 to see if I could make a costume for my niece for something she was in, well that ended up not happening (my niece went with something else) but I still had the size 22 dress. It's been in my pile of fabric until recently when I was inspired to dig it out to attempt a pair of skinny pants. I had already re-drafted a pattern by removing the darts (blah) and tapering the legs (remember these?) I tweaked the pattern just a bit more to make these floral pants, but the pants are basically the same. I'd love to know what ya'll think! But FYI, I already love them :)

The match started with nearby Big Ben pealing the hour and ended with the "Star-Spangled Banner" rising from the iconic venue in the Prime Minister's backyard, just down the Mall from the royal residence at Buckingham Palace. Playing on Henry VIII's former jousting tiltyard, with the current Prince Harry in the crowd, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor continued their reign as champions of the beach.
"It's insane. It doesn't feel like it's real," Walsh Jennings said. "I told Misty when we were getting our medals: 'If I wake up tomorrow and we have to replay this match, I'm going to be furious.' Because it feels like I'm in a dream.
"It truly feels surreal and it didn't feel like that the first two times for whatever reason. But this, it's almost too good to be true." Dominating the sport for three Olympiads, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor have won every match they've ever played at the Summer Games and lost just one of 43 sets.
No one had ever won even two beach volleyball gold medals before the Americans won their second straight in Beijing. No woman had ever won three Olympic beach volleyball medals of any kind.

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) January 31, 2014
Americans are living longer than at any time in history, and yet extensive research conducted by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies® (TCRS) indicates that Americans are ill-prepared for long-term retirement and unaware of their need for action, as well as the range of practical steps available to them to begin planning for their financial security. At the same time, people are looking to increase their quality of life during both their working years and in retirement. The Transamerica Center for Health StudiesSM (TCHS) educates Americans about issues related to their longer-term health and well-being since good health is the vital component to a person's productivity and enjoyment throughout life.
To assist listeners in their quest for both health and financial security, WYPR will launch its newest weekly evening drive-time segment, "ClearPath – Your Roadmap to Health & Wealth," on Monday February 3, 2014 at approximately 5:45 pm. ClearPath- Your Roadmap to Health & Wealth, which launches during NPR's popular All Things Considered, is underwritten by the Transamerica InstituteSM – a nonprofit, private foundation dedicated to identifying, researching and educating the public about retirement, health coverage, and other relevant financial issues facing Americans today.
Program host Greg Tucker will engage Catherine Collinson, the Transamerica Institute's founding president who also leads TCRS (a foremost expert on the state of retirement readiness in America), and Hector De La Torre, who leads the Transamerica Institute's newly established TCHS (and is a former California State Assemblymember), on the broad range of issues related to financial literacy, retirement, and health care and well-being.

My girlfriend keeps gaining weight. I don't know how to help her
My girlfriend and I have a beautiful child together. We been through a lot of ups and downs on our relationship but at the end of the day always have... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I understand that this is a very delicate situation for you. Here are a few guidelines from a woman's perspective.
Never, EVER metion her weight! Like, NEVER! This is the golden rule.
There is only one exception to this rule, and that is that you are allowed to comment ONLY when she asks. Here is how to do it without getting your head ripped off!
If she says something like "I'm getting fat", "I feel crappy", "My jeans don't fit anymore", etc, here's how to proceed...
Woman: "Wow, these jeans never used to fit this snug. I'm getting fat!"
Man: "No, you're gorgeous, babe. But you know what, I've been feeling pretty crappy myself lately. (White lie here.) Why don't we start eating a little better? It would be so much easier with your help!"
See what MAN just did here? He convinced WOMAN to eat healthier without making her feel bad about her appearance, and made it sound like it was her idea. Here's another example.
Woman: "I hate this dress. It makes me look fat!"
Man: "You're not fat, honey. You're beautiful! Why, have you been feeling a little different lately?"
Woman: "Well, sort of. I can't get all of this weight off!"
Man: "Well frankly, I've been feeling a little crappy myself without soccer. Is there anything like that that you'd ever be interesting in taking? I hear bellydancing is pretty fun."
Basically, you want to suggest healthy choices in a non-judgemental way. Also, condition her to feel good after doing healthy things by "rewarding" her. When she comes home from her dance class, ask her to do a sexy striptease for you. When she cooks a healthy meal, tell her how awesome it tastes. And go for walks together (or do another healthy activity) and enjoy your bonding time. This will show her that healthy lifestyle choices can be FUN!
Good luck!
Beautiful answer :) You sound like an excellent communictor!
jan jan has this broken down to a science.
she can read people like a book haha
A degree in psych opens your eyes to a lot of things! Just don't use your power for evil. :P
What Girls Said 38
She's right, you are a d***. She had a kid, for God's sake. Of course she's put on extra weight. Let her rest for a while and wait until she's ready to get back in shape. You should not be forcing her.
And really? It's BS that you should love her no matter what she weighs? That's actually pretty sick. Poor thing had to dedicate herself to you.
Red Smartie, you don't even know how long ago it was that she had the kid yet you are so quick to crusify him and call him names. Is that just because you have some excess weight and this answer makes you feel bad if some guy you ever cared for felt this way about you?
- Show Older Hide Older
Not only that, but he never mentioned them being married. Why are you pulling all of this dramatic, over sensitive bs out of your ass?
Excess fat is often unattractive. He's not a jerk for being open and honest about that.
Just because you have kids doesn't mean you have an excuse to eat any way you want ... She could at least try... he's a parent, too.
More than likely, she is having personal self esteem issues, which is normal after gaini g a lot of weight post pregnancy.
The thing is, if she was never really an active person before the kids, it's not like she would suddenly become active now. Some people have always been thin and have to learn a whole new way of living when we can no longer just stuff out faces.
This is definitely a sticky situation and I can understand her thought process that you should love her unconditionally, but if she's no longer the woman you fell in love with, then it doesn't apply does it? Life does take it toll on all of us, but we should be doing out best to put our best foot forward. Sometimes we get stuck in a rut though and need a tow truck to carefully and skillfully pull us out. Being told I no longer find you attractive only makes a bad situation worst. Dragging her along to work outs won't work either because its a mental thing. She's not feeling good about herself so it doesn't matter how much you try to motivate her. So you need a different approach.
I know it seems counter productive, but you need to make her feel sexy. The problem probably started even before the babies, while she was pregnant. Feeling like a blimp all those months and having a hard time getting rid of the baby weight can take its toll.
In my situation , my husband always made me feel desirable even when I was a blimp. I gained 30 pounds and he was still slapping my butt and trying to get in my pants. As soon as I could, I worked on trying to look my best for him.
Are you making her feel sexy or are you reminding her how unattractive she is? Kids are exhausting and drains energy. The only thing that would motivate her into action would be the desire to get back to her old self. You have to remind her of that part of herself by being that supportive husband that seemingly loves her unconditionally. Start smacking her butt, give a compliment, and take her out to do fun things. That last one is crucial. When she wants to get dolled up and can't fit anything that will be a great motivator.
So be supportive, not her personal trainer. Show her that she is still worthy of your love and she'll find her way back in time.
You have to take this very delicately. Obviously you love her either way because you're still with her, but if she thinks that it's okay to be overweight (which I don't think she does because she gets offended when you bring it up) you would have a problem.
What I would suggest you do is walk together with the baby as a family (at least it's better than sitting on the couch) everyday that way you're not focusing on the "we're doing this because you're fat" and maybe you should take control of the grocery shopping and cooking since she's not making the right food choices. Such as, make her a healthy steak dinner with a side salad (obviously for you too) That way it looks like a romantic gesture and you're helping her at the same time.
Women being overweight after a baby is a really touchy subject so do you're best to keep your cool.
sorry she's sloppy.. I feel like it's selfish to let yourself go in a relationship and expect your partner to see you the same way fat... I feel less attractive if I put on 5lbs granted I've never had a child but I would never want to smoke or eat fast food around a child, your setting a horrible example. Make a rule with her and tell you that these changes HAVE to happen for your child.. Tell her that you want him to have healthy habits as he grows up and that your going to sign up for a few 5k runs and maybe she can sign up to or at least support you on this.
I think she's being selfish and possibly lazy. If she has other things going on mentally or something, then I understand her side but otherwise, she's being selfish. No one is obligated to stay attracted to someone no matter what ... Just tell her how you truly feel, be sweet but honest...
I think you need to start small, no one can change over night, esspecially if you are feeling pressured to do so. I also think you should maybe cater your comments to be more positive. A women who has a baby feels really unattractive much of the time, her body went thorough a lot of trauma, she's feeling vulnerable, and the last thing she wants to think is that her partner finds her unattractive. I think if you make your comments more "I'm concerned about your health" and less "I'm not attracted to you" you might get better results. Plus, women who have just had a baby should not jump into super intense excercise, it's actually dangerous for her body, which is still healing from child birth. Here are some ideas that you could do. I know they aren't much, but (pun intended), it starts with baby steps:
-cooking a nutrious meal or taking a cooking class together
-going on a walk after dinner with the baby
-just you and her going to the park and playing soccer
-sex is a great calorie burner!
There are tons of things to do, just get creative!
This is a difficult one. I understand your predicament and that you are trying to 'help' your girlfriend because you are concerned. And also that she keeps complaining and doesn't do anything. That sounds really annoying and totally reminds me of me lol.
From personal experience, I had gained weight last year, was moody and when my boyfriend came up to me about it, of course like any other girl who is constantly paranoid about her appearance, I got angry at him. I felt more insecure. We had a deep talk about it and I was still stubborn. He left it and did his own thing. It took me a while to join him in his walks but I eventually did. If he kept nagging me or pushing me about it I don't think I would've joined. I've lost some weight now but I'm glad he didn't push me, because...I am quite stubborn and unenthusiastic lol. I feel guilty for my bratty attitude but at least I did something.
Either have a talk with her and I mean a PROPER talk, tell her in no way do you mean to offend her, you love her and are concerned, but if she could just you know make adjustments, they don't have to be extreme, maybe evening strolls twice a week? You have to be very careful in what you say because I feel she is already insecure about her weight and she is just expecting you to let her be that way.
If she does not want any help and is assertive in what she prefers then you should leave her and let her make the choice for herself, you don't want to push it too much or else she won't do it ever and it will bring up more unnecessary arguments. If she doesn't want to listen then just focus on your own workout and let her be, til she changes her mind. You can only do so much. Hope it goes well.
Maybe its not the weight she ganied, what makes her less attractive, maybe it is her attitude towards her body and the way she handle this as well. No doubt she feels unconfortable and I can understand that it is hard to get motivation back. But why don't you cook together, if you want to try to change her eating habits. I think it is necessary to wake her interest in activity in general again: You don't have necessarily to start with sports, just go for a walk, with your child to the zoo or something like that- just anything to escape from just sitting around.
Throw out all the junk food, insist on doing all the grocery shopping, and only buy fruits, vegetables, and protein. Absolutely no carbs, as she will consume them immediately. No sodas either. If she complains, say that you are trying to be healthy and stay in shape, and if you have it in the house you will be too tempted. Unfortunately she seems to have zero motivation, so if you want her to change, you really have to work at it. For the fast food, I would research the food cravings chart and show it to her. It's actually really cool. As for ciggis, make a rule that it can't happen in the house, car, or near the baby (you can lay the guilt on heavily with this one, doesn't she give a rat's behind about your child's health? Second hand smoke is a major issue). Or you could just go to a beach with her, and make her realize how bad she looks compared to everyone else (subliminally,don't point to another girl and say "now if you looked like that, I'd be all over you"). Girls are crazy, and you need to tread carefully when critiquing absolutely anything about them.
Really? A downvote?
Well, in this case, I'd really say that coming at this from the angle of being a concerned parent would be a lot better received than from an angle of how her current weight is unattractive to you. Remind her that you love her and your child, and that's why you're concerned.
For one, kids do tend to pick up their parents' habits and an unhealthy diet is likely to negatively impact a child's physical and mental development. For another, it would be fun to bond as a family over some work outs; it would reinforce health and fitness as part of your child's lifestyle, for life. Lastly, every child deserves healthy parents they can look up to. Bad diets and smoking can shorten lifespans; if not for herself, encourage her to change for your child.
Don't forget to compliment her when she does something good, be it just eating a salad for lunch or walking instead of driving!
Well, I always like to reverse the situation. What if you watched the baby and gave he time to herself, let her know you want her to have some time to just treat herself right. Sometimes after having a baby men forget that we need to have some time to ourselves too. Perhaps her taking a nice long day to herself she will realize that once a week she does want to spend that time back in the gym.. Or you could even do something together. Get a babysitter and have a high energy date like hiking or taking a bike ride or just work out at home together. Just let her know that regardless you love who she is and the beautiful life you brought into the world- and then maybe you can see its not the outside that really matters its who she is that should attract you to her the most.
I am pregnant with twins so I kno what she is feeling its really hard... Just don't push her to do the "hard" stuff Imma health fanatic and I couldn't picture it... So take her out on walks or go to the mall go on bike rides, the fun stuff that will get her goin... Better yet find a babysitter and take her dancin
Look I hate ladies who make an excuse when they have a baby. You should see my mum and my cousins who have kids... they are absolute milfs. They don't shove doughnuts down their mouths and you can always excercise. Like for example put your baby in a pram and walk really fast. Or do some housework. That burns off calories. I think you should ask her to come for a walk with you and just power walk together. Maybe you should also suggest eating plans and just tell her that you love her in any way possible but you are just worried about her health. I don't think you are being a d*** at all. I wouldn't want a partner who looks like a jumping castle.
having babies is not to be blame for weight gain. being so busy with babies, I lost all the weight.
also, it seem to me it's more of her way of living
There ya go! I am so glad someone agrees with me!
I agree with you.
Many girls do this and I can see how, as a guy, it would be frustrating. Many grils complain about their weight, yet they eat unhealthy foods and make no real effort to lose the weight. I don't think you're being a d***, I think she's just getting defensive because it's a sensitive topic for her and she doesn't like you reminding her that her weight is sloppy. It's especially annoying if and when girls have these high physical standards for guy yet don't meet high physical standards themself.
a few of my friends had some babies recently - all still struggling to lose the weight. whenever I bring it up they go into snooze mode yet they complain about the weight gain and all. I was able to interest them with dance classes (striptease and belly dance classes). maybe you can ask one of her friends to join her or something :)
tell them to give themselves at least a yr. to two yrs. and use the proper way to lose weight.
took me 3 1/2 and it is staying down...lol I didn't even excersice...if I am more active would have prob. lost more
Maybe you could try to explain that living a more healthier lifestyle is better for y'alls CHILD.. I have a one year old.. went from 125 to 175 ( at 5'9'') while I was pregnant. It felt like it took FOREVER to lose the weight.. my hubby, however, was completely fine with it. He was so caring and understanding.. I cut back the calories, fat, and carbs, walked or jogged with baby in jogging stroller, and now I am back to a healthy 130. I knew that if it were up to my hubby, he wouldn't mind either way, as long as I'm still me.. I did it for my daughter. She is the one I want to grow old for, see her get married and have babies, etc. Maybe if you try that approach in a super caring demeanor, she will look at your concerns from a different stand point. Good luck.
It's really hard to get her to buy into this, especially if she doesn't seem motivated. She really has to want this in order for her to make a change.
It might be more effective though, to bring up the fact that she needs to be a good role model for your child. Children pick up habits from their parents, and she should be modelling good healthy habits.
Also, refuse to let sodas and junk into the house. Make that a rule in the house. I found that having crap around the house makes it easier to indulge. So instead, I only keep good foods around. Furthermore, to ensure that I always have something healthy to make, I keep some extra non-perishable food around the house, like canned beans, tuna, etc... That way there is no excuse to go out and get fast food.
Plan out meals ahead of time. Cook extra on the weekends and freeze for those nights that are going to be hectic. Keep cooked frozen chicken on hand, cook it on the weekend, slice it up, then put in a freezer bag to add to meals when you don't want to cook.
Keep veggies on hand, chop up on the weekend to prepare for the week.
It's going to be hard to get her to give into this. Maybe plan out a vacation or a trip to the beach in the summer? That might make her want to workout?
okay but...if you DONT love her regardless of her size, and you think its b.s., then why are you with her? that doesn't make sense. if its that big a deal for you, you could just leave. shell be hurt, but id rather be with someone who wasn't killing themselves to look at me, wouldn't you? some men genuinely don't care, others do. it doesn't make you a bad person, but maybe you two shouldn't be together. I don't think its psychologically healthy to be involved with someone who has negative view of your own body and you can pick up on that. its negative reinforcement for health - the incentive becomes not a matter of health, but an issue of negative body image because you feel less desired.
i don't think you should be trying to change anyone but yourself. maybe if she sees you doing it (and not just talking...) she may be more motivated. if not, there's nothing you can really do or should do. this should be a decision she makes for herself.
Try to make small steps. She's probaby tired and overwhelmed with a new baby and turns to soda and junk food for a quick energy fix. Help her find more nutritious foods that she likes that will actually give her energy. Offer to cook evening meals every other night so you can introduce her to some new foods. Be sensitive to WHY she's reaching for an unhealthy lifestyle ...
Being a woman kinda sucks, as guys are more visual and tolerate less weight gain in their partner than we do, and also that we can only eat 1200-1500 calories without putting on weight. Also, testosterone gives guys a bunch more energy. Realize that staying fit is a harder battle for females, but convince her that she needs to put in effort to stay healthy. You're not a d*** ... it's just one of those things that is a fact of life that can be irritating.
Here are a few ideas: Remind her that her bad habits are ones your child is going to pick up. Also, remind her that fast food and soda are a waste of money. Keep a jar on the kitchen counter, for example, that she puts a dollar into every time she craves a soda and doesn't get one. Brew some green tea instead, so she can ease off of it without caffiene headaches. Get those "Eat This, Not That Books. " Get her excited about her sexuality again. A lot of how a woman feels about her body is tied to how she feels about her sexuality... If she feels like her body is just a tool for baby, she's not going to put emphasis on looking good. Start being playful with her, touch her even if it doesn't lead to sex, give her some time to herself to take a bath and do all of those girlie things. Get a sitter every other week and go on a fun date. Also, make sure she has some time for friends and all that. You are out three times a week with a new child in the house. What does she get to do for fun? Etc.
Also, women reailze how fragile men's love really is. It's a sensitive subject to us...but most of us know it. Men cannot love their partner without intense sexual arousal...and the more potential partners he has, the more her resents her not measuring up to them. We resent that men don't bond over emotional support, but at the end of the day, she has to realize that it's just how it goes. But try to be sensitive. Knowing your partner will leave you if you don't accomplish something can be psychologically tough.
She might be depressed about something and just not working through the problem properly. Even if she doesn't overeat, there are hormones that work against our metabolic function and cause us to hold on to weight.
(1) Work out for one hour every other day or 30 minutes daily.
(2) Drink 12-16 glasses of water.
(3) Yoga/Meditation exercises.
(4) Don't bombard each other with stressful issues. Make a list and tackle one at a time.
(5) No pasta or yeasty; focus on brown rice and flat bread.
(6) Low-fat dairy only. Yogurt. No massive quantities of cheese, which cause bloating.
(7) White meats only. Lean meats only. MORE FISH.
(8) Fresh fruits, not juice.
(9) Ditch all sugary drinks and snacks -- including bogus "energy drinks" and "diet" soda. They all convert to fat.
(10) Love her no matter what she looks like. Positive body image starts now, regardless of stretch marks or jelly belly, not when she's lean and twiggy. Many women achieve their goal of being thin and yet still feel lonely and unloved, retaining a negative body image regardless of how good they actually look.
(11) Encourage ONE DAY of bingeing per week. If you deprive yourself of everything permanently you don't actually learn how to manage your desires/cravings. I do "chocolate Wednesdays" because that's the most stressful day of my week. Other people do "milkshake Tuesdays" or whatever. It's the same concept, different day, lol. Just don't go crazy with the binge -- one tablet of chocolate or one slice of chocolate cake, not a carton of entenmann's...
U two are not compatible nor does she wants a better health for herself. It will only get worse, she will not change based on what you said. I would dump her, otherwise you will start to resent her and be very unhappy. Sorry about this but, it is what it is. Good luck.
I have kids too. And having kids doesn't make you fat. And yes, the Babbitt is terrible. I will never be able to live with some like that.
This is a problem that can be worked out. Tossing the person aside without even trying is a very bad way to go about life in my opinion and is a bit immature.
he tried all diff. things with her and set examples for her. she is just not that type to care about health and all. otherwise, she would have done it. these are individual habits from young. he said she has been smoking for a long time.
what I gave is an honest answer, but, no one wants to hear the truth. I am actually surprised I only got three down votes.
those who doesn't face the reality are living in a bubble.
have you tried getting her to do excersize(sorry sp?) not in the gym? like try to go on walks every day after dinnertime, it'll be nice and refreshing to get outside and it's something you and her, and the baby in the carriage, can do. Or go for bike rides, hiking. Also try to make her feel guilty for the cigarette smoking and the soda and fast food. because she KNOWS that those things aren't healthy, so try to make her feel bad for bringing those things into the life of your child. tell her you love HER and that you don't expect her to be perfect, I mean she did have a baby, but you do want her to simply be healthy!

What Guys Said 4
Rather than telling her to lose weight maybe you should tell her to stop eating junk food and soda, those stuffs are baaad. Tell her that you love her and want to be with her for a long time so you don't want to see her health deteriorate and all those bad habits are bound to bring health problems sooner or later.
Wtf! Dude she is right, do you love her, or the meat?
Chances are she is comfort eating (google it)
She could also be suffering from a degree of depression (common after child birth and eating more can be a symptom, see above)
Btw do you know you burn calories kissing?
Try kissing her to skinniness,
The girls here are going to say you should love her unconditionally.
I would say to them, let's see your boyfriends smack you all around a bit and watch how long that "unconditional love" lasts.
Tell her if she doesn't start making a visible effort to regain her health you're breaking up with her.
Cold, but that's the only thing that's going to work, plain and simple.
I love how three people downrated me because "I'm mean" but they're unable to provide any counter argument.
I think it is a little cold, but I understand your point as a man. Men cannot understand what it feels like to have your body go through a complete 180 in less than a year to have a child, and then have your partner, the father of your child, to say "you're so ugly now." It's really emotional and you can't expect change over night.
Perhaps not. But I can expect someone to cut out soda, fast food, and cigarettes.
Have an opinion?

£51m superfast broadband deal signed
Published at 16:57, Friday, 30 November 2012
THE £51m contract to bring superfast broadband to 93 per cent of Cumbrian homes and businesses was finally signed on the shores of Ullswater yesterday.
The move signalled a start to a communications revolution in the county that it is hoped will transform the fortunes of many rural communities.
BT will now embark on a two-year roll-out that will deliver speeds of up to 80Mbps for Cumbrian homes once the County Council's cabinet has met in January to agree a set of priorities which will determine the order in which communities get connected.
It will approve a plan that will show each community and business at which point in the programme they will be connected and what speeds to expect.
Those that require higher speeds will be given advice and support.
Fibre to the home technology – delivering ultra-fast speeds of up to 330Mbps – will also be deployed in certain areas and will be available on demand.
Senior BT managers and county council leaders at the launch were aware of frustrations in Ulverston about the lack of a firm date for superfast installation, but said there was no question of the town missing out.
Councillor Elizabeth Mallinson, Cumbria County Council's Cabinet member with lead responsibility for Connecting Cumbria, said. "BT will provide superfast broadband for Ulverston and for the rest of the county – we will have a timetable and a roll out so people will know where they are for the next two years.
"We have a tremendously exciting three years ahead of us, but I would ask people to be patient and allow us to deliver this huge programme in a strategic way which is in the best interests of the county as a whole."
Bill Murphy, managing director of BT's Next Generation Access, said: "The project is incredibly important for Cumbria and BT is proud to be a part of it. "Cumbria's scattered population combined with its comparatively large size and challenging geography, means that small business plays a pivotal role in the county's economy and the roll out of fibre broadband will act as an economic driver for those rural businesses.
The £51m funding has been earmarked for rural areas which would not otherwise receive broadband investment from the private sector.

Hotline to receive labour complaints
Amira Agarib / 8 June 2011
DUBAI - The Human Trafficking Monitor Centre of the Dubai Police receive complaints from workers regarding salary delays and salary structure.
Dr Mohammed Abdullah Al Murr, Director of the General Department for Legal and Disciplinary Control of the Dubai Police, said that the centre studies the complaints pertaining to salary structure by comparing salaries with other companies and examining if the salary offered is in line with the nature and volume of work.
Al Murr said that the Dubai Police have established a hotline (8005005) to receive labour complaints in various languages including English, Urdu, Russian and Hindi. During the first quarter of the current year the trafficking centre received 1,659 personal complaints and 10 collective complaints from workers. He said that inspectors visited 615 labour accommodations to ensure that sponsors complied by the safety regulations at labour camps.
The inspectors found that 426 companies abided by the regulations, which represents 87 per cent. While 55 companies agreed to improve the conditions, five have not obliged. He said that the centre is following it up. However, four companies did not respond despite repeated visits, he added.
Al Murr said that the centre has asked the Dubai Municipality to take necessary action against the violators. He said that the centre had organised awareness lectures for workers to educate them on their rights. The police have sorted out 133 labour complaints out of 159 and are still following up 25 complaints, he said.
Of the complaints, 108 were for non payment of salaries, five for illegal termination, three for mistreatment, 14 to retrieve workers documents including passports, and five complaints for salary deductions.

Evening News staff writer
The Monroe County Board of Commissioners tonight will consider appointing Director of Administrative Services Michael Bosanac as the county's newest administrator.
Current Administrator/Chief Financial Officer Royce Maniko will retire at the end of the year. Appointing an administrator skips the drama of the fall of 2009 – the last time the board looked for someone to fill the chief county post.
A panel of employees had whittled prospective administrators to three and the county board publicly interviewed each before choosing Robert Brackenbury of Pittsfield Township. The board and Mr. Brackenbury negotiated for months over salary, vacation and benefits, before the county severed talks.
Ultimately, longtime County Planner Mr. Maniko assumed the reins and Mr. Bosanac — at the time the county's purchasing director — was named director of administrative services. He and Mr. Maniko have collaborated together since to oversee the county operations and bottom line.
"Mr. Bosanac has been assigned primary responsibility for countywide strategic management, budget development, financial planning, and has served a key supporting role in leading this organization," a letter from county board Chairman R. LaMar Frederick and Vice Chairman William Sisk reads in part.
The letter to the board goes on to say, "…we have all worked closely with and observed Mr. Bosanac in many professional contexts over the past two to three years, and are pleased to recommend that Mr. Bosanac be appointed to succeed Mr. Maniko."
Mr. Bosanac, who began working for the county in August, 1984, will assume the top post upon Mr. Maniko's retirement Dec. 31.
"We believe this appointment will give Monroe County the continuity of administrative vision and leadership we have come to expect and which will be so important in keeping the county on a path toward financial stability," the letter continues.
The board tonight will also consider making Deputy Director of Human Resources Aundrea Armstrong its new director of human resources. Current Director Frank Spreeman will also retire in December.
Ms. Armstrong was made deputy director in October, 2010.
"With the majority of the county's budget devoted to human resources, sound management of this function is of critical importance," the same letter to the board reads in part. "We believe Ms. Armstrong's appointment will provide the continuity of leadership and stability that the county needs."
The county board will meet at 7 p.m. in the commissioner's chambers at the Monroe County Courthouse, 125 E. Second St.

So, yeah, Duquette's teams were pretty good. But I guess I didn't realize just how good until baseball statistician Bill Arnold sent me a chart with the lifetime win-loss records of all the men who ran teams in 2012.
With the Orioles' 93-69 regular-season record factored into Duquette's lifetime mark, he now has the fifth highest winning percentage (.542 in 12 seasons) of those who were GMs – or its equivalent title – in 2012. That's higher than San Francisco's Brian Sabean and Oakland's Billy Beane.
In fact, of 2012 GMs with at least 10 years of experience, only the New York Yankees' Brian Cashman (.602 in 15 seasons) and the Chicago Cubs' Theo Epstein (.556 in 10 seasons) has a higher mark than Duquette. Epstein, who followed Duquette in Boston, would have had a higher percentage, but since he basically shares the job with Jed Hoyer, he and Hoyer both get credited with the Cubs' dubious 2012.
Duquette also has now posted a winning record in nine of his 11 seasons as a GM.
Anyway, I thought the information was worth sharing with you.

Nearly 17 years ago, Bryan Matthews saw a vision near Grovetown for his budding church.
Started as a youth ministry in 1995 by Matthews and his wife, Rhonda, New Life Christian Center's home base has always been in Augusta.
Matthews knew he wanted the nondenominational church to one day grow roots in Columbia County, so he bought more than 13 acres of land on Lewiston Road for future construction of a facility.
The Columbia County Board of Elections has called a special meeting Tuesday morning.
The meeting will be held at 10 a.m. in the Board of Commissioners office on the second floor of Building B in the government center in Evans, said Elections Registration Coordinator Nancy Gay.
The meeting reportedly concerns an election law violation by a candidate for county commission.
This year's final group of high school seniors from Columbia County received their diplomas Friday at the summer school graduation ceremony.
While on a smaller scale than the traditional May commencement exercises, the ceremony in Lakeside High School's gymnasium had the usual trappings as 32 students representing each of the county's five public high schools walked across the stage.
About the only differences between this ceremony and the May graduations were that there was no valedictorian, and those shouting from the stands were much closer to the action.
Girl Scout to hold health event
Olivia Bernard, of North Augusta Girl Scout Troop 5083, is hosting DRIVE4COPD at the Wilson Family Y in Augusta from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday.
The event is to make people aware of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
According to a news release, 24 million Americans may have the disease and not even be aware of it. At the event, participants can answer questions to see if they may be at risk and take a spirometry test from a respiratory therapist if they are at risk.
Work will soon begin to develop a new athletic complex behind Lakeside High School.
Columbia County commissioners are expected Tuesday to approve a $3.1 million bid for site preparation for the complex, planned for 70 acres behind the school's baseball fields.
The Board of Education and the county are sharing the first-phase costs of the project, which would prepare the site for construction, county Construction and Maintenance Division Director Matt Schlachter said at the June 26 public works committee meeting.
Lakeside High School's gymnasium will be a sea of colors Friday when some of Columbia County's summer school students graduate from high school.
There were 589 high school students and 139 middle school pupils who attended summer school at Lakeside.
With students in various grade levels, just a small percentage of those who took summer courses are finishing their high school education.
"The graduating class is somewhere between 40 and 45 students," said Craig Baker, an assistant principal of Grovetown High School who served as the summer school principal.
A former Columbia County educator wants to take his love for the NASA space program to new heights.
Though NASA's space shuttle program officially ended in August 2011, Evans resident Henry Quinn wants area residents to remember the importance of space exploration. He will help them do so through the creation of a program he calls Space Experience Presentations.
"I would like to inspire," Quinn said. "I would like to educate and I'd like to inform people about the past, present and future of the space program."
Grovetown is the only Columbia County government holding state-mandated tax hearings this year.
The meetings will be held in Grovetown City Hall at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Monday, as well as at 6 p.m. on July 23.
After a three-year freeze ordered by the state, property assessments in the city rose. Higher assessments, combined with new growth, grew the digest by 8.46 percent, City Administrator Shirley Beasley said. That increase is expected to bring in about $120,000 more tax revenue than last year.
First Bank of Georgia will soon be coming to Evans.
Plans are under way to build the third First Bank of Georgia in Columbia County.The full-service bank will be on a corner parcel in front of Kroger on Washington Road.
"Our plan was always to expand into Evans," said bank president and CEO Remer Brinson III. "It's a great market.
"We've got a lot of customers in Evans already."
The bank has owned the property for the past decade, Brinson said, adding that the initial goal was to build the new branch in 2008 before the economy declined.

Lesson 1
Objective: Preface and Part 1, Chapter I The setting for the novel is Minnesota from 1860-1890. The objective of this lesson is to explore the local color of Minnesota and its impact on the story.
1) Lead the class in a discussion about local color. Begin with a definition and ask the class to validate their understanding by offering examples from the book. How is regionalism exhibited in language? Interpersonal dynamics? Clothing? What other elements can the students define that make this story one from Minnesota during this particular time period?
Divide the class into small groups and have them discuss the author's authenticity with the book. Could this story take place anywhere else but Minnesota in the mid- to late-19th century? Why or why not? What is it about the elements of this story that slots in into this particular time period?

The American Kennel Club's Pick of the Litter is a monthly podcast that covers canine pop culture, its people, and news you can use. Join us to hear from dog owners, handlers, trainers, lovers—and their dogs—at home and in the field, at shows, and anywhere that four legs are as good as two. From canine heroes to celebrated artists, listen in on the wide world of dogs.
On this special edition of Pick of the Litter, we celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, by recognizing her favorite breed, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Host Lisa Peterson talks with Bill Shelton, a breeder of champion Pembroke Welsh Corgis (pictured here, with a friend) about this strong-willed herding breed. The Queen received her first Corgi, a bitch called Susan, as a gift from her father King George VI for her eighteenth birthday. Since then she has bred and owned more than thirty Corgis, and Shelton says the development of the breed can be charted through her lines.
Why do Corgis appeal to the world's most powerful woman? "I think she found in them what we all do," Shelton says, "and that's that they're a bold and kindly intelligent little dog."

RETRENCHED Namibia Airports Company (NAC) workers say they will camp out at the head office of the Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF) until the fund appoints an arbitrator in the standoff over pension payouts.
The laid-off workers met with the GIPF yesterday morning to express their disappointment that an arbitrator had not yet been appointed. Acting CEO Maria Dax said at the beginning of this month that an arbitrator would be recruited.
According to the former workers, the delay in getting an arbitrator on board is because the acting NAC CEO, Tamer el-Kallawi, who is standing in for suspended CEO Ben Biwa, does not know the details of the dispute."
Another called the restructuring process earlier this year a "scam", used as a ploy to get rid of NAC employees seen as earning salaries higher than at other parastatals.
"We are going to camp out here until this matter is resolved. If they want to arrest us for it, then so be it. It will be either they or our creditors who will arrest us," said one of the workers who took the retrenchment option about eight months ago when the NAC was restructured.
"We will come with our placards and tents," said another. "We will force an arbitrator out of the GIPF."
GIPF spokesman Elvis Nashilongo said the matter was being discussed and he couldn't comment yet.
"I do not want to pre-empt the outcome of the meeting; it has not yet found a conclusive position," Nashilongo said yesterday afternoon.
He did say that it was not the obligation of the GIPF to appoint an arbitrator, even though the GIPF rules stated that an arbitrator should be employed if there was a deadlock between an employer and the GIPF.
"It is the obligation of the employer to pay its people. If the employer has retrenched its workers, it must own up to it," he said. "Overall it should be noted that this is an employer issue, but we are obliged to assist our members."
The NAC previously insisted that it couldn't comment on the pension payout issue because the case is sub judice.
The retrenched workers also expressed their frustration because neither Prime Minister Nahas Angula nor Labour Minister Immanuel Ngatjizeko has intervened in the pension standoff.
They also called for the intervention of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
"Why is the government not standing up and saying the NAC must pay?" the workers wanted to know.
Minister of Works and Transport Erkki Nghimtina last week said he would not take action against the NAC board as was recommended by an investigation into the controversial NAC restructuring.
The retrenched workers hold the NAC board responsible for the non-payment of their pensions, and have demanded that the board and management of the NAC be relieved of their duties.
"They [the board] are sitting there and eating and misusing the NAC money," one of the workers said.
"The NAC board must be fired. Biwa is not the only one who should go. All of them must go because they are incompetent and have messed up the company. They are bringing the company into disrepute."

Colorado stakeholders representing health plans, large employers, community-based organizations, health systems, and public health are engaged in an action plan to make the National Diabetes Prevention Program easily accessible for the estimated one in three Colorado adults with pre-diabetes. This action plan balances affordability and accountability among providers, patients, and payers.
The plan's goals are:
1. Achieve reimbursement for the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)
2. Establish mechanisms to screen, identify, and refer individuals with pre-diabetes.
3. Identify and assist community-based organizations in training and the recognition process to provide the DPP.
WHY: It is estimated that more than one-third of Colorado adults and half of all adults aged 65 years and older have pre-diabetes. Without lifestyle changes to improve their health, up to two-thirds of people with pre-diabetes are likely to develop type 2 diabetes within six years, compared to fewer than 5% of those with normal blood glucose.

CC has to go all the fuck out! He needs to be agressive, and want to hurt people. The UFC is a bad ass place, and he better bring it this time. Al turk is not all that good, but he could overwhelm him if he does like GG did. War Cro Cro, WAR!
Nothing against Al-Turk but hopefully Cro-Cop murders him. I want to see Cro-Cop be a force again. The road back there starts at UFC 99.

I agree though...just glad to see him back. Hopefully it's world-ending CroCop, not that doppleganger we saw last year.
i just find it weird that ufc would post something like chris wilson's injury on their front page, but have yet to mention the return of cro cop which is supposedly less than a month away...
once i see mirko's pic on the ufc site, i'll retract my statements.

Shown for the first time last weekend at 3D Masters in Spain, Kontronik displayed their latest brushless speed controller offerings. The first is a Jive 120+ HV that expands on the very popular Jive 80+ HV that is used in many 600 and 700 electric heli's. The next is the smallest speed controller Kontronik has released the to date, the Mini Jazz 20. This one is designed for smaller electrics heli's like the 250 and 450 models.
