A recent sexual assault has uncovered an under-the-surface issue between Fairfax County Public Schools and some residents of a Fairfax neighborhood.
Fairfax County police are investigating a report of a 16-year-old girl who was attacked around 4 p.m. March 19 in Fairfax. The girl had just entered an unpaved path that runs between two non-contiguous ends of Pickett Road behind W.T. Woodson High School, near Frost Elementary School, they said.
According to police, a man approached the girl from behind, grabbed her neck, and assaulted her under cover of the dense foliage that surrounds the path.
Police said the teen struggled and was knocked to the ground. After a brief altercation, she screamed and ran to a nearby home for help. Police said they arrived within minutes but the man already had fled the scene and remains at large.
"That little girl did everything right," said Capt. Joe Hill, the West Springfield District Station commander, at a community meeting addressing the assault Monday evening at Robinson Secondary School.
It is not the girl's actions or the assault itself that has members of the community arguing with each other and with Fairfax County school officials; it is the path itself.
Long known by residents and Neighborhood Watch captains in the area, the winding, 100-yard path twists through a thickly wooded area, hiding any activities taking place there.
"Kids go back there to drink, smoke, have sex or all three at once," said Rick Huska of the Kings Park West Neighborhood Watch. "It's been that way since the 1970s."
Its after-hours reputation aside, the path does serve one utilitarian purpose: a quick cut-through for Frost Middle and Woodson High School students trying to make it to class before 7:20 a.m.
But that use of the path is not appreciated by homeowners in the Chestnut Hills neighborhood who live at the start of the path — on a private pipestem off the Pickett Road cul-de-sac where some parents drop off their kids in the early morning to avoid heavy school traffic along Little River Turnpike.
"That path goes across private property and is not a sanctioned path, it is just something the kids use," said Doug O'Neill, coordinator for Safety and Environmental Health for the school system at Monday's meeting.
In an email obtained by the Times that was sent to Braddock District Supervisor John C. Cook three days after the March 19 assault, O'Neill proposed building a "six-foot chain link fence" along the path's border between school property and the Chestnut Hills pipestem.
"Because FCPS is limited to only installing fences on its property, the FCPS property fence section may not give FCPS the desired result of discouraging pedestrian traffic through the Chestnut Hills [West Neighborhood] Association's property and encouraging pedestrian traffic on Nutwood Way," the email reads. "The distance to the path in question to the FCPS property line is approximately 90 feet. This distance could allow students to circumvent the fence and continue to utilize the path."
After being contacted by Cook's chief of staff, Susan Gragg, president of the homeowner's association, sent out her own email, which was also obtained by the Times.
"We have concerns that this will create more problems than it will solve," she wrote. "The kids will just divert into Starlight Ponds and up the pipeline right of way, and... the woods would become more of a hang out and problem area."
Glen Ackerman, who has a son who attends Woodson, agreed.
"By fencing off this area you will create an alcove for kids to do illegal drugs and who knows what else," he said Monday. "It is the openness and pedestrian traffic that keeps that path from being even worse than it already is. Without it, you will achieve the exact opposite effect of what you are trying to do."
Ackerman proposed putting up security cameras, making it safer for kids to cut through the area. Others in the audience suggested clearing the woods along the path, straightening and widening it, making it open and enabling students to cut through more safely.
"Hold on just one minute," interrupted Margaret Buckley, who lives in one of the six private homes along the pipestem traversed by students currently utilizing the path. "This is private property they are cutting across. My property. I for one am not in favor of making it easier for anyone to cut across my property."
Cook, who was in attendance, made his own comments concerning the suggested ideas.
"We are all here because we are concerned about our children. I am a parent as well as a supervisor," he said. "But apparently there is no 'one size fits all' answer to this. Whatever is going to happen, I want you all to know that this idea for a fence is not coming from the county. It is coming from Fairfax County Public Schools, which is a separate entity. In addition, I can not, and I will not, send a county vehicle onto someone's private land to widen a path. That would be illegal."
As Monday's meeting started into its third hour, O'Neill concluded by saying he and the school system still are in favor of erecting the controversial fence, but that he welcomed input from all those concerned.
"This fence is a knee-jerk reaction," said Lynn Mulvey-McFerron. "I'm sure families in the five affected neighborhoods would be happy to provide labor to the county to make the Pickett path a more hospitable environment for our students and neighbors who utilize the path.
"Pulling together the various homeowner groups — as well as the multitude County departments that perform this kind of service — would make quick work of correcting the narrow, winding Pickett Road pedestrian path."

Snow of delight or snow of fright?
Bringing forth a world of wintry white.
Children sled and play no matter it night or day.
In its pleasures they do delight.
Spreading limbs wind up and down.
An angel's wings flying without a sound.
Rolling giant balls of powder.
The children laugh a little louder.
Even though, they sometimes flounder.
Snow of delight for them.
Snow of fright for some men.
As they shovel the snow again and again.
Canine friends tunnel their way.
A lost one looking for the light of day.
Wishing for a warmer place to play.
Bending the branches of my favorite evergreen.
How far can they stand to lean?
Will it be nice or mean to my evergreen?
How might your scene unfold?
Did it make you shiver in the cold?
Is it a delight or fright to behold?

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 23, 1999 Before marking NATO's birth 50 years ago, allied leaders dealt with the issue at hand -- Kosovo.
NATO's anniversary summit opened April 23 with an early morning working session focused on the Kosovo crisis, followed by a North Atlantic Council meeting. After the "NAC" meeting, the allied heads of state and government issued a statement citing NATO's demands. It said Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic must:
All leaders at the meeting pointed out that NATO "has an obligation to be successful," NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said. "We cannot afford to lose this one," he emphasized. "We have invested simply too much time, too much effort, too many resources, to settle for anything less than our five fundamental objectives."
If Milosevic is allowed to defy the international community, Shea explained, "it would not only be a terrible injustice to his victims, the Kosovar Albanians, it would also be a very major setback to all of our efforts to build a new European security order based on democratic values. It will be not simply an affront to NATO and what we stand for, but to the United Nations and the entire international community."
To accomplish its objectives, NATO intends to continue its air campaign, Shea said. NATO leaders are not considering deploying ground forces, he stressed. "The message of the meeting today is that there is no need to change the strategy," he said. "That strategy is working. There is no quicker or more feasible option on the table at the present time."
Air strikes are on track, Shea said, citing successful battle damage. They are successfully degrading Milosevic's capabilities, he said. NATO forces have air superiority at mid to high altitudes and have significantly damaged Yugoslavia's air defenses.
NATO strikes have destroyed 70 percent of the military's petroleum, oil and lubricant stocks and 25 percent of Yugoslavia's fuel storage capabilities, he said. Air strikes have cut supply and communication lines between Yugoslavia and Milosevic's forces in Kosovo. NATO has only moderately damaged Milosevic's command and control network, but allied forces continue to strike it hard.
The night of April 22, Shea said, NATO destroyed an artillery battalion, a column of troops, 23 vehicles, six tanks and a field command post inside Kosovo. "We are not just hitting fixed installations in Yugoslavia, we are bringing the pressure to bear, increasingly, on those forces inside Kosovo itself," he said.
NATO allies are now focusing on further augmenting the force, Shea said. More than 690 allied aircraft and 20 ships are now involved in the air campaign. Another 300 planes are slated to join Allied Force in the next few days.
U.S. Apache helicopters now arriving in Albania are expected to be operational shortly. "We also need further reconnaissance intelligence support aircraft," he said. "We want to take the fight directly to Milosevic's forces."
NATO plans to strike at the central nervous system of Milosevic's regime. In the last three nights, NATO forces struck Milosevic's party headquarters in Belgrade and one of his bunker systems in the suburbs. On the eve of the summit, NATO took out Serb radio and television it considers part of Milosevic's propaganda machine.
Shea said the alliance intends to isolate Milosevic and separate him from outside sources of support. This includes implementing economic sanctions and placing an embargo on oil deliveries. "There must be no soft underbelly where Milosevic can get through the back door what we are denying him through the front door," he said.
NATO has directed its defense ministers to consider how maritime operations can contribute to halting delivery of war materials.
Shea also reported NATO progress in aiding Kosovar refugees. Along with deploying troops to what are being referred to as the 'front-line' countries bordering Kosovo, he said, NATO has delivered 11,000 tons of humanitarian aid, 85,000 tons of shelter materials and 716 tons of medicine in the last few weeks.
The North Atlantic Council statement noted that the alliance would not tolerate any threats by Belgrade to neighboring states, including the democratically elected government of Montenegro, a Yugoslav republic.
"It is our aim to make stability in Southeast Europe a priority of our trans-Atlantic agenda," according to the statement on Kosovo. NATO, it said, will help forge a better future for the region -- "one based upon democracy, justice, economic integration and security cooperation."

isn't it?
First, an excellent Rock Video by Def Leppard asking the Moo-sical Question:
"Are you gettin' it? Armageddon it?"
Okay, so someone reading this is shaking their head saying, "Oh, but he was only
'mocking' Republicans, right? That's NOT a big deal, stuff like this has been going on FOREVER…"
No. When is the last time you recall this level of Partisanship co-mingled this level Arrogance
from a President of the United States? Isn't he supposed to represent ALL Americans, not just the HIS guys and gals on the Left?
Ah, but we have plowed this ground before and it is not the focus of today's post.
I wanted to spend a moment or two to look at the events which have transpired SINCE
President Obama told us that HE didn't see "Armeggedon" following the passage of Health Care Legislation.
So how have we fared since Health Care Reform was passed on March 21st, 2010?
Let's take a look back, shall we???
March 21, 2010 Iceland's Volcano goes 'Poof'
BP Rig goes 'Poof' April 20, 2010 for 'Earth Day'
"Goo" Heads for U.S. Coastlines, April 29th, 2010
Dow Slides Amid Global Economic Fears (2008 – 2010)
I wonder WHAT ELSE President Obama doesn't see?
Perhaps we should ask him now, because I'm worried.
President Obama, I see great and crucial conflicts arising daily. Maybe you do not because your economic and social policies are causing many of them. And when you ignore the wishes of more than 50% of Americans, might I fairly assume that one side could be considered 'Good' and theother side, if not 'Evil', well, be considered at best, 'Wrong'?
I guess the sides of Good and Evil are drawn in the eyes of the beholder. It is for history to decide who is right and who is wrong.
For now, however, I have chosen the side which I will stand with.
See you on the other side President Obama!

A few years ago I had a boyfriend who's dad had brain cancer, and he would always go stay and help him out, well he left his camera at his dads house and I wanted him to send me a picture so he went to get it from his dads house and he found his dad dead. After that he went home emailed me one last time and committed suicide cause his dad was all he had left.
It was basically my fault he died...it wouldnt have happened if I wouldnt have asked him to get that picture...and I regret it everyday of my life. (I've gotta live with the choices i made
And I can't live with myself today)
The only thing that keeps me going is knowing ill see him again someday...(for those of you who believe people who kill themselves go to hell keep it to yourself I dont wanna hear it cause I dont believe they do.) and thats where the part of the song:
"Just another moment in your eyes
I'll see you in another life
In heaven where we never say goodbye"
helps me. But hey everyone has their own opinions,thats just how I take the song.
*RIP Derrick*
"Now that it's over
I just wanna hold him
I'd give up all the world to see that little piece of heaven looking
back at me"

0To me this song feels like a knife tearing at my heart. I see it as a guy who lost the love of his life. I see myself and the mistakes i've made. I see the love of my life who got away. This song makes me realize how much i truely love her and it conveys my emotions exactly as they would be if anything ever happened to her. "I gotta live with the choices i make and i can't live with myself today." The choices i've made leave me unable to protect her but if anything ever happened to her i could never live with myself. She has no idea how i feel and i don't think i'll ever be able to tell her.0hey, that's awesome that you can keep going. I was suicidal and there are only two people that can say they saved my life. they wouldn't have known it if I hadn't told them.
that's why we don't need to know why someone wrote a song. it changes lives if you don't know.+1what a terrible and unbelievably sad story! im like in tears beyond! i wanted to let you know that i have 37 ppl on the first fw email praying for your heart to heal! Jesus loves you so much and i do too! it sounds like you had a very close relationship with your boyfriend and im so grateful to skillet for writing songs like this so that hurting people like you and i can relate and feel some form of comfort! its good to cry! and you cry whenever you feel like it okay? it will get better! i cant imagine your pain! as for your father, if you kill him with kindness and try to work on your end of the relationship things will come around! ITS NOT YOUR FAULT! none of it! not your bf, not anything your father blames you for! God has a plan for everything! and he wants you to run to him and fall in his arms! i know im a complete stranger but i felt moved to write you! i also am aware that this is so soppy and you posted months ago, but Jesus told me to so im being obedient! we all love you! ~ HeatherFlag jesuslovessoaringfalcon2010on April 30, 20100Soaring falcon: i will be praying for u every day. i lost my daddy when my step mom broke his heart one too many times.... you will see your friend again.... my god takes the sick into his arms and holds them when they come to the pearly gates.... certainly anyone who feels their only way to heal is suicide is sick and sick in a way that many of us will never understandFlag ~{emanon}~on October 12, 2014

August 3, 2015
A Liberty County man facing a multitude of charges, including robbing a Splendora bank on July 28th has been arrested.
Anthony Dewayne Bond was identified by Lufkin bank employees who say he's the man who tried to rob the First Bank and Trust of East Texas branch in Lufkin on November 5th. Bank employees say Bond passed the teller a note demanding money, but when the stunned worker didn't respond quickly, he left the bank without receiving any cash.
After watching video of Bond inside the Lufkin bank, Splendora bankers reviewed their surveillance video and determined he was also the man who almost four months ago, gave a bank the teller there a note stating he had a gun and was there to rob the bank.
From the Splendora bank, investigators say Bond was given an undisclosed amount of money and was able to make his getaway in Dodge pickup truck. Nobody was hurt during the robbery.
Last week, Texas Rangers contacted the 23-year-old who they say told them he would turn himself in but when he failed to appear on Friday, Bond was located and arrested at a Tyler County home. He remains in the Angelina County Jail with bonds totaling $120,000 for robbery, burglary and providing a false statement.

Climate change is real and it's happening here in Indonesia. That was the message from the "Climate Change Go to School" program in Jakarta last week.
The event, which was jointly held by Alpha-I, the National Council on Climate Change, World Wildlife Fund Indonesia and the United Nations Environmental Program, was designed to provide students from Jakarta high schools with a better understanding about saving the environment during the launch of the Youth Combating Climate Change program.
"To talk about the environment and climate change is now a cool thing," said Nadia Syifa, 13, a student from Al-Azhar Rawamangun.
Nadia said she sometimes felt envious of people from the older generation, who lived in a cleaner environment during their youth.
When she was 11, Nadia joined The Climate Reality Project, an extension of Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" campaign.
Along with other interested participants, she was taught presentation skills and how to speak publicly about the issue by Al Gore at the Jakarta Convention Center in April 2012. Nadia has since been sent to a several cities to speak about climate change, including Bandung and Durban, South Africa.
"Al Gore is inspiring. He said that climate change was not an opinion but reality," Nadia said. "I learned that small things count."
The Indonesian branch of The Climate Reality Project has launched its own youth-focused group, Inconvenient Youth, a campaign designed for people aged 12 to 18. In October, they will have their second annual Youth Climate Camp.
Ahmad Safik, the president of Alpha-I, the alumni association of Indonesian students in America that was established in March 2012, said the program was designed to promote further awareness around climate change.
"We all know it is easier for the younger people to change habits than us," said Ahmad, who is a teacher at the Al-Azhar law school and a researcher at University of Indonesia.
To raise the army of youth combating climate change, they held an essay competition in 80 high schools across Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi in June, with winners to be announced at a ceremony at Hotel Aryaduta on Sept. 24.
Ahmad admits they are running an ambitious program, requiring education for both students and teachers.
"Our next goal is to have climate change incorporated in the school curriculum and train teachers about the whole issue," he said.
Nadia said teachers often did not have a full understanding on how to explain the global phenomenon, generally just teaching the usual precautions such as keeping electricity to a minimum and putting trash in the bin.
"I learned 20 percent about climate change in my school and 80 percent from Al Gore," Nadia said.
Dian Anggraini, 27, also a member of The Climate Reality Project, joined the program in the same year as Nadia. She has been involved in campaigns for schools, from elementary to high school, and other public conventions. The organization requires a presenter to speak 12 times a year about climate change. Having met school teachers and students, Dian also said a stronger explanation was needed from teachers to make students understand.
"We wish for students not to only know about the campaign, but also to understand the impact of climate change," she said.
Inconvenient Youth does not only combat climate change through campaigns. They also have environmental programs, such as compost projects and a volunteer program to clean Jakarta's Ciliwung river.
Indonesian pop singer Nugie, known for his involvement with environmental issues, suggested school students do something about the environment without expecting a reward. The singer ditched his vehicle for a bike five years ago because he was tired of waiting in traffic jams. He lives in Bintaro and travels to Jakarta by bike, which he said has helped him feel healthier and more efficient.
"I like to go through shortcuts," he said. "Shortcuts are a Jakarta privilege. There are a lot of them and many are unknown."
Nugie ended his talk by saying to contribute to the environment, habitual change is the most important thing. Having arranged an album about the environment helps people remember his name.
"Be unique by [adopting] a green lifestyle, because other means are replaceable," he said.

Ages 10 & up. In the spirit of Madeleine L'Engle's classic A Wrinkle in Time, this is a fascinating and powerfully involving story about two lonely kids who are inadvertently caught up in the never-ending battle between good and evil. The problems of everyday adolescent life and the mysteries of magic are perfectly blended, along with plenty of humor and suspense. In a starred review, School Library Journal wrote, "well-structured and believable... this fantasy should have wide appeal." Horn Book wrote, "a splendid, unusual fantasy... an outstanding, original work."

'North Carolina's Homecoming'
The N.C. State Fair opens Thursday at the fairgrounds in Raleigh with more contest entries than ever, plus more deep-fried food options and new rides.
Entries overall increased 43 percent from last year, with the biggest increase in 4-H, beer and flower and garden shows, which all had a more than 100 percent increase. There are 54 percent more rabbit entries this year for fairgoers who enjoy visiting the rabbit barn.
It's the 160th anniversary of the fair, though there have been only 146 fairs due to wars, gaps and changes, said N.C. Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Troxler on Monday at the media preview for the fair. The fairgrounds bustled with trucks, tractors and trailers as games, rides and food vendors were set up under gray skies.
Fair spokesman Brian Long made the annual jokes about inclement weather and hopes for clear skies. It's not the Seattle fair, he said on the dreary day, and that it would get better before Thursday's opening. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a chance of showers but a fair amount of sun through the weekend. The fair opens at 3 p.m. Thursday, and then at 8 a.m. daily starting Friday through Oct. 27.
The theme this year is "North Carolina's Homecoming," and there are plenty of reasons people keep coming back to the fair, Long said. He noted the new fried food, which includes pink lemonade funnel cakes, fried half-pound Sugar Daddy bars, fried Cow Tales and Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joes.
The funnel cakes, which will be sold inside and near Dorton Arena, are pink dough with lemon doughnut glaze. Cow Tales are a caramel and cream candy fried on a stick that looks a bit like a corn dog with chocolate drizzled on top. The Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joe is a self-explanatory combination of salt, sugar and fat.
Annual fairgoers with eagle eyes may spot a few changes on the grounds. Fair manager Wesley Wyatt said the livestock trailer park is larger, the administration building had a few renovations, the old schoolhouse was re-sided, and the display cases for the Family and Consumer Sciences department now rotates for cakes.
The newest exhibit at the fair is Agriculture Today, presented by soybean farmers and featuring a soybean fountain and biochemistry stage show. A fire truck, tractor and Smokey Bear will be there, too. The exhibit will be near Gate 11.
Each day of the N.C. State Fair features a full schedule of events, from Specialty Cooking Contests to Circle C Racing Pigs to a Fire Safety Show to musical performances, with fireworks ending the night.
Concerts, which require separate tickets, include Sister Hazel, Joe Nichols, Eli Young Band and two nights of North Carolina's own Scotty McCreery. The Florida Georgia Line concert is sold out.
The Flower & Garden Show, agriculture exhibit, livestock competitions and crafts for display and sale are ongoing.
Special days include Youth Celebration Day Oct. 21, Senior Citizens Day Oct. 22, Military Appreciation Day Oct. 23 and Food Lion Hunger Relief Day on Oct. 24. Hunger Relief Day benefits the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, and admission is exchanged for five cans of donated food.
Mike Hall, director of operations for Food Lion, said that 1.8 million pounds of food has been donated since 2004. Their goal is 250,000 pounds this year, he said.
Powers Great American Midway is bringing four new rides this year. The Gold Rush Express is a train ride in Kiddieland. A new ride on its way from Colorado is The Stampede – a double ferris wheel with the seats facing out. There's also Surf's Up and The Vortex.
Troxler said the fair is like a big family reunion.
"The fair means different things to different people," he said. "For us, it's about the people." Agriculture is still a focal point of the fair and they're really proud of that, he said.
For all the details about what's at the fair, visit www.ncstatefair.org or follow the fair on Facebook or Twitter. The fair also has a free app through Google and iTunes.

The time came for the ships to depart, thousands were slaughtered and widespread panic broke out as people realized they hadn't been chosen. Only the smart, powerful and rich would be allowed-Chosen: Only the WORTHIEST specimens would be allowed to leave the planet.Legion: The ships took off, abandoning the planet.Chosen: Our ancestors depart...into the blackness of space. Their lives sacrificed for the good of mankind.Legion: The scattered tribes of those left behind formed seven legions...Chosen: Unforseen consequences required us to enhance the fragile human frame to withstand the rigors of space.Legion: The events of centuries ago plowed into myth and legend, the most well known of these tells of the returning: a time of war, when the Chosen come back to claim the Earth.Chosen: Centuries had come and gone, it was time to return!Legion: There will be three signs that anyone can see. The first of these is a night without darkness...the second is a day without light...the final sign is the rain of fire; seven of our greatest legions unite! To fight the Chosen and keep the Earth we have RIGHTEOUSLY inherited! You command the greatest tribe, bestowed with honor of being called...the 7th Legion.Chosen: You...our 15th generation, your whole lives have been shaped for this moment. It is your destiny. You...are the Chosen!Overview7th Legion is an RTS game where two warring factions battle over control of Earth. The Chosen, who abandoned the planet when it was clear that the environment couldn't sustain it, and the 7th Legion, who were the ones left behind. The game was somewhat unique in that it introduced cards that could be played for different effects on the battle field (the AI also had these cards in the single-player campaign), and while it features standard RTS base building, there is no traditional resource gathering, rather you gain money automatically by regular intervals and get bonuses by killing enemy units and structures. The unit designs closely resemble Warhammer 40,000 units.

By: Ryan Luby, KOB Eyewitness News 4
She's championed better education opportunities for thousands of homeless children in Albuquerque. Now, she's about to retire after a nearly 50-year career in education.
"It's a long time," Helen Fox said on Friday about her time in schools.
20 years ago, the one-time special education teacher became director of the Title I Homeless Project for Albuquerque Public Schools. She found a passion caring for children who were homeless - living in tents, garages, under bridges, inside old strip malls and cars.
Initially, Fox said the program enrolled roughly 500 students. Now, it serves roughly 6,000 students.
"Yeah, it's heart-wrenching, but the joy is that these children are the most resilient, unbelievable children you've come across," she said. "If any of us had lived the way these children live, and be expected to get up and go to school and function just like everybody else does, I'm not sure I could do it. But these children do it on a daily basis."
Fox has held the job so long that the man taking over for her once listened to her speak as an intern.
"I mean, you just have a national model here that Helen has created that hopefully, through her legacy and her laying the foundation, we can build on and continue to grow," Patrick Scott said.
Although Fox says she intends to spend more time with her grandchildren in retirement, she intends to volunteer for causes she's supported for decades.
"And the only way to change homelessness is to educate these children, and that's how we're going to change that whole face for the world," she said.

Mark Honeyman, ISU Research Farms
Iowa State University Research and Demonstration Farms and ISU Extension have hired two agricultural specialists to expand the ISU Farmer Assisted Research and Management, or ISU FARM, project.
Micah Smidt and Zachary Koopman will work at the Northern Research Farm near Kanawha, and the Agricultural Engineering/Agronomy Farm near Boone, respectively.
ISU FARM will extend the reach of the research farms near Kanawha and Boone. A network of cooperators in the surrounding counties will be established to conduct research on their farms.
Smidt and Koopman will assist cooperators in choosing topics related to corn or soybeans, designing and laying out the study, planting the test strips, applying the experimental treatments, and collecting and analyzing the data. Smidt also will work with farmers in northeast Iowa near the ISU Northeast Research Farm near Nashua.
Smidt of Kanawha earned a bachelor's degree in agronomy from Iowa State in 2010, and has experience as a crop consultant and production agriculture. Koopman of Boone earned a bachelor's degree in agronomy from Iowa State in 2009, and has worked with custom application, crop protection and production agriculture.
ISU FARM is supported by the local associations that own the research farms: North Central Iowa Research Association, Kanawha; Northeast Iowa Agricultural Experimental Association, Nashua; and the Committee for Agricultural Development, Ames. Ag Ventures Alliance, a Mason City business development group for value-added agricultural ventures, and the Iowa Soybean Association also have invested in the program.
Mark Honeyman is the interim director of Iowa State Research Farms. He can be reached at 515-294-4621 or email@example.com.

The location is great, lots of little shops and side streets to explore, just around the corner. It's close to the train station and a quick 10 minute taxi ride to the airport.
The hotel seems to be newly renovated, very clean and modern. There is free wifi and I believe they have free breakfast (we had a very early check out so we didn't have it).
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

It took 45 minutes for them to bring 3 oysters, which were average at best and lacked salt and pepper and a choice of sauces. They also forgot my burger. The waiters were pushy, and the atmosphere was uncomfortable. Would not recommend.
Posted by Gramfood on 11/21/2011
Came here on a friday when it first opened..at 6:30 it was already packed.. nice crowd..great bar... nice space... had appy's and were very pleased with the oysters dish was excellent.. location is very convenient too..going to make this my "go-to" place in the hood

Dined here on Saturday night, full house. The food was delicious, apps were rather salty but overall a good meal. The servers are enthusiastic & nice, which almost makes up for the complete lack of organization. We got drinks we didn't order, didn't get drinks we actually ordered, and the lag between courses was rather long. All in all a fun night though, might just need to work out the opening kinks. Oh and perhaps regulate the temperature. It went from totally boiling to completely freezing with vents blowing like crazy every five minutes.

Went to Whitehall on Friday night for a 8pm reservation--arrived 15 mins early and seated immediately. (ps dont believe opentables availability--call instead) Had a great cool vibe and seemed packed but there were a couple tables in the back open throughout the evening. The waitstaff was friendly and efficient (if a little too quick to snatch away my cocktail) and the food was pretty solid and just novel enough. Got the fried squid and sausage, and chicken liver to start (the former was great, the latter a little cat food-y). For mains, I got the whitehall burger (yum) and my date the rabbit special with mushy peas (also great). Finished with the apple Charlotte for two which may have been the highlight! All in all a great experience and a welcome addition to the hood. We'll be back!!

The Pawleys Island community is mourning the death of Alan Altman, who is remembered as a successful businessman, a loving family man and a caring friend.
Altman, 55, was a partner at Pawleys Island Realty which his father, Linwood Altman, founded. His family has owned and operated the company since the 1960s. The Georgetown Agency is a part of the family real estate business.
He and his wife, Elizabeth Walker Altman, have three children, Sarah, Casey and Alex. His mother is Nancy Altman.
The Altman extended family has met each summer on Pawleys Island.
Alan was a person everybody knew they could sit down and talk to and work with, said Howard Ward, a long-time friend of Altmans.
He was a loving father and son, and he cared so much about this community. This is a tremendous loss to his family, the community, the county and the state.
The S.C. Senate recently passed a resolution recognizing Altman for many years of outstanding work in his beloved Pawleys Island Community.
Altman was also honored just last Friday with the coveted Order of the Silver Crescent by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
Pawleys Island Mayor Bill Otis, who is also a long-time friend of Altmans, remembers him as an enthusiast and a salesman for everything having to do with Pawleys Island and Georgetown County.
The main thing I will remember about him is that he was always ready to help on anything having to do with Pawleys Island or the community and he always followed through on his promises, Otis said.
Ward and Otis said they will always remember fondly Altmans humorous presentations to the Pawleys Island Civic Association at their annual meeting at Pawleys Island Chapel.
Those presentations were always looked forward to by those in attendance and were totally entertaining, Otis said. I will miss him as a warm and loving friend and for his vision and leadership in our community.
Ward said the community and his family were rewarded by Altmans presence.
I think what people saw in Alan was a complete human being, Ward said. He fully embraced life and gave huge amounts of energy and strength which was admired by everyone.
The Georgetown Agency is in the building and the location that formerly housed The Whistling Pig drive-in restaurant. During its heyday, generations of teenagers followed an unwritten rule that whatever else you did on a date, you had to cruise the Pig before or after the movie, going to a dance or whatever.
Altman had a concrete whistling pig made.
Ed Kimbrough, a real estate agent for the Georgetown Agency, said Altman was very protective of the pig and wouldnt let anyone move him.
The pig keeps his eye on us, Kimbrough said.
Alan will be sorely missed by his family, his co-workers and the community. He was certainly an activist in the community and he was always willing to donate his time to community causes.
About Altman
Born on June 16, 1957, Altman graduated from Winyah High School in 1975.
During this time, he attained the rank of Eagle Scout, served as captain of the All-Conference Winyah High School football team, and was selected to participate in Palmetto Boys State.
He was a Furman Scholar graduate from Furman University with a business degree which he obtained in 1979.
Altman was co-owner of Pawleys Island Enterprises; owner of Pawleys/Litchfield Services; broker-in-charge of Pawleys Island Realty and The Georgetown Agency; member of Pawleys Island Accommodations Tax Committee; and vice chairman of Pawleys Island Chapel Board of Trustees.
Altmans past involvement in numerous organizations include member of the Georgetown Memorial Hospital System Board of Trustees; president, Georgetown County Board of Visitors; state director, S.C. Association of Realtors; RPAC chairman, S.C. Association of Realtors, Equal Opportunity Committee; member of the Blue Ribbon Committee to Review State Coastal Regulations; member of the Board of Directors, Pawleys Island Montessori Day School; president, Waccamaw Neck Lions Club; member, Bunnelle Foundation Board; president, Winyah Indigo Society; member of the Board of Directors, Waccamaw Neck Civic Association; and member of the Board of Directors, Kids Voting.
He also served as an active member of the Furman University Advisory Board.

A pair of undefeated teams make for an enticing early season non-conference matchup Saturday afternoon when New Mexico (7-0) visits Ole Miss (5-0). Tipoff is noon Albuquerque time from the C.M. Tad Smith Coliseum in Oxford, Miss. Live audio is available via All Access at golobos.com. There is no television coverage or streaming.
New Mexico is 7-0 for the first time since an 8-0 start in 1998-99. It's the 11th time in school history the Lobos have opened with seven consecutive victories.
This is the Lobos' second road game of the season. They opened the year with a 54-47 victory at Colorado. UNM completed a six--game home stand Wednesday with a 57-48 triumph over Southern Utah.
Ole Miss, 102-76 victors over Troy on Tuesday, has used the SEC's top-scoring offense (96.4 points per game) to start 5-0 - all at home - for the first time since 2000-01, when it won 11 straight.
While the Rebels are among the nation's leaders in scoring, New Mexico is yielding just 54.4 points a game to rank second in the Mountain West Conference. Only one opponent - Hawai'i - has reached 60 points against UNM this season.
The Rebels are shooting nearly 52% from the floor. UNM has allowed foes a shade under 39% accuracy. Ole Miss is forcing an average of 18.4 turnovers a game, while the Lobos have been guilty of just 12.4 miscues per contest.
New Mexico is playing at a Southeastern Conference arena for only the fourth time. UNM lost at Vanderbilt in 1956 and at Tennessee in 1989 and 2003.
It's a daunting task for the Lobos in their first game in the state of Mississippi. Ole Miss has won 17 straight non-conference home games and has dropped just five such contests since 1995. UNM was 8-43 in true road games during former head coach Ritchie McKay's five-year tenure from 2003-07, including 2-12 in non-league affairs.
The Lobos stay on the road next week, visiting New Mexico State on Tuesday. The next home game is Saturday, Dec. 8 against the University of San Diego.
The University of New Mexico men's and women's basketball programs have teamed with Toys for Tots to benefit local youth during the upcoming holiday season. The Lobos will be accepting toys from fans, beginning Monday, Dec. 3, at the ticket office at The Pit. Fans donating to Toys for Tots will receive a discounted ticket to a selected upcoming men's or women's basketball game.
Fans can drop off toys at the ticket office Dec. 3-5 during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.). Those donating to Toys for Tots can purchase tickets to the men's game against San Diego on Dec. 8 for $5 or the women's game against Arizona on Dec. 15 for just $2. Each toy donated will allow fans to purchase up to four tickets at the discounted price. For more information call the UNM Ticket Office at (505) 925-LOBO.
HEAD COACH Steve Alford
Steve Alford was named UNM's 19th head coach on March 23, 2007, after spending eigth seasons at the University of Iowa.
Alford is 315-183 (63%) in his 17th season as a collegiate head coach. His teams have qualified for postseason play 11 times, produced 13 winning seasons and reached 20 wins on eight occasions.
Alford is facing Ole Miss for the first time in his head coaching career.
In eight seasons at Iowa, Alford compiled a 152-106 record with a school-record seven consecutive winning seasons, and six postseason appearances. The Hawkeyes won two Big Ten Conference tournament titles (2001 and `06). Iowa was 17-14 in 2006-07. It was 9-7 in the Big Ten, tied with NCAA teams Illinois and Purdue for fourth place.
Prior to Iowa, Alford posted a 78-29 record in four seasons (1992-95) at NCAA Division III Manchester (Ind.) College and a four-year (1996-99) record of 78-48 at Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State). The Bears defeated Wisconsin and Tennessee to advance to the Sweet 16 of the 1999 NCAA Tournament before losing to top-ranked Duke in the regional semifinals. In 1997 Alford led the Bears to a 24-9 record (second in the Missouri Valley Conference) and a trip to the National Invitation Tournament.
This is the 3rd meeting between the Lobos and Rebels. UNM has a 2-0 lead, including a surprising 95-42 victory in The Pit on Nov. 19, 2005. The 53-point margin ties for the 7th-largest in school history and equals the 4th-widest for a Lobo team in The Pit.
New Mexico also toppled Ole Miss 75-64 in the championship game of the 1996 Lobo Invitational. UNM was ranked 16th in the country at the time of that game and finished the season 25-8, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
New Mexico has a 5-6 record against current members of the Southeastern Conference. The Lobos are 1-0 vs. Georgia, 2-0 vs. Ole Miss, 0-1 vs. South Carolina, 2-2 vs. Tennessee and 0-3 against Vanderbilt.
Six Rebels are averaging in double figures led by sophomore guard Eniel Polynice at 14.8 a game. A pair of senior stalwarts - Kenny Williams (9.2) and Dwayne Curtis (8.0) - are pulling down more than 8 boards a game. Ole Miss is out-reboudning opponents by a margin of 11.8 a game and is averaging 10 steals a game. The Rebels list 17 players on their roster, and all have seen action through five games.
After leading an underdog Ole Miss squad to the top of the SEC Western Division and an NIT second round appearance, 2007 SEC Coach of the Year Andy Kennedy is looking to do more of the same with another Rebel team picked last in the SEC West by preseason prognosticators.
Kennedy guided Ole Miss to a 21-13 record in 2006-07, which marked the most wins by a Rebel head coach in his first season at the helm. It was also the most wins by any Rebel team since the 2000-01 NCAA Tournament "Sweet Sixteen" squad.Kennedy faces another daunting task this year as he mentors a team comprised of only two returning starters and 10 newcomers.
The Louisville, Miss., native was introduced as the 20th head men's basketball coach in the history of the University of Mississippi on March 24, 2006. He spent the 2005-06 season as the interim head coach at the University of Cincinnati, helping the Bearcats to a 21-13 record and NIT quarterfinals appearance playing a schedule rated fifth-toughest in the nation amid difficult circumstances.
The 2007-08 season is the 105th in school history. The Lobos first laced up the hightops on Feb. 2, 1900, when they lost 8-6 to the Albuquerque Guards. While this season is actually the 106th anniversary of that inaugural year, UNM did not field a team for various reasons in 1900-01, 1903-04, 1917-18 and 1920-21.
The Lobos have been on the hardwoods continuously since the 1921-22 season and have compiled an all-time record of 1,272-996 (.559). New Mexico was 421-497 (.458) from 1900-62, but has gone 851-499 (.628) over the past 44-plus seasons, an average of nearly 19 wins per year. The Lobos have made 27 trips to the postseason during that span, including 11 appearances in the NCAA Tournament and 16 showings in the NIT.
Lobo senior Tony Danridge suffered a broken left fibula during a game with teammates on Oct. 4. He had surgery on Oct. 8 and is expected to miss three months. Danridge, a 6-5 senior from San Bernardino, Calif., posted 12.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game last season and was named 3rd team All-MWC. He is the only Lobo to play in all 95 games over the past three seasons, not missing a game to this point in his Lobo career. He does have a redshirt year available.
Through games of Nov. 28, Lobo senior J.R. Giddens is the only player in the Mountain West Conference who ranks in the top-15 in the league in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocked shots.
J.R. Giddens scored six straight points midway through the second half to help New Mexico pull away and beat Southern Utah 57-48 Wednesday night. Giddens finished with a game-high 14 points, including 10 in the second half. His seven rebounds was a game high and he equaled a career-high in assists with six.
The game was close until Giddens took over with 10:35 left on a reverse layup to break a 36-all tie. It started New Mexico on a deciding 17-4 run in which Giddens had eight of the points, including an emphatic dunk.
Except for the start of the game, the Lobos hardly looked like a team with an average victory margin of nearly 30 points at home, and Southern Utah didn't resemble a squad that had lost three in a row.
After Nick Livi knocked down a 3-pointer to begin the game for Southern Utah, New Mexico ran off the next 12 points and it appeared it was going to be another runaway for the Lobos. But the Thunderbirds recovered and the teams were tied at 23 going into the half.
The Thunderbirds missed a chance to hold the lead with eight seconds left in the first half when Orlando Griego missed a foul shot after a basket.
Senior J.R. Giddens
Senior Darren Prentice
Junior Daniel Faris
For the first time since the 3-point shot was introduced into college basketball before the 1986-87 season, UNM canned at least 13 3-pointers in three straight games. The historic feat came during the Basketball Travelers Invitational when the Lobos were 13 of 28 against Presbyterian, 13 of 28 against St. Bonaventure and 13 of 26 against Loyola Marymount. That's a 47.6% clip for the 3-game tournament.
MORE ON THE 3s
Before the misfirings from long range against Southern Utah, the Lobos were among the nation's early leaders in 3-point shooting. They still lead the league in 3s per game at 9.71 and the 42.5% shooting is No. 3 in the Mountain West.
3s AND COUNTING
UNM has made a 3-point basket in 555 straight games, the 12th-longest active streak in NCAA Div. I hoops. UNLV is 1st at more than 650 games. The last time UNM failed to connect from long range was Jan. 3, 1991, missing on 8 attempts against Colorado State in The Pit.
All 10 Lobos have played in every game this season, and all 10 are averaging between 15 and 26 minutes a game. With seven games in the books, you could say there have been a total of 70 opportunities to score: 7 games x 10 players. Amazingly, only 4 times has a Lobo not gotten into the scoring column this season.
It's the same with rebounding. Just twice has a Lobo failed to get a carom, Gary against Colorado and Darren Prentice in the St. Bonaventure game.
And, since everyone plays the Lobo bench has made huge contributions. The reserves contributed 49 points in the 86-58 win over Loyola Marymount, including 19 of the first 23 and 26 of 43 in the first half. UNM's reserves have scored 44% (240 of 547) of the points and pulled down 47% (119 of 251) of the individual rebounds this season. That's averages of 34.3 points and 17 rebounds a game.
The 28 assists in the 92-57 win over Eastern Washington is UNM's highest total in 10 years, since it had 32 in a 112-61 victory over Holy Cross on Dec. 29, 1997.
New Mexico was picked to finish fourth in the 2007-08 Mountain West Conference race during the league's preseason media gathering in Denver on October 17. Voters were a combination of head coaches and media.
Season tickets climbed above 10,000 for the first time since the 2003-04 season when UNM sold 10,598. The final count is 10,096. UNM sold at least 10,000 season tickets for 30 consecutive seasons between 1974-75 and 2003-04.
The Lobos return seven lettermen, including four starters, from last year's team that posted a 15-17 overall record and finished tied for eighth in the MWC with a 4-12 mark. UNM returns more than 77% of its scoring, 67% of its rebounding and 71% of its minutes.
Returning starters include seniors J.R. Giddens, Tony Danridge, Darren Prentice and Jamaal Smith. Giddens led the team in scoring at 15.8 ppg while Danridge was second on the team at 12.5 ppg. Prentice led the squad with 101 assists while Smith was tops from the FT line at 82.5%. Danridge was a 3rd team All-MWC selection while Giddens and Prentice were both honorable mention honorees.
New Mexico lost just two seniors in Aaron Johnson and Kellen Walter. Johnson led the team in rebounding, grabbing 7.3 rpg while scoring 6.3 ppg. Walter was the only four-year player on the team, averaging 2.0 ppg as a senior.
Junior Jeffrey Henfield (2.2 ppg), sophomore Ryan Kersten (5.5 ppg) and freshmen Sean Imadiyi (1.1 ppg), David Kanyinda (1.5 ppg) and Derek Oestreicher (redshirt in 2006-07) all decided to leave the program following the season.
Other returning players include juniors Chad Toppert and Daniel Faris and sophomore Roman Martinez. Toppert was No. 9 in the nation in 3-pt. FG% at 43.8%. He was also third on the team in scoring at 9.5 ppg. Faris started 10 games as a sophomore, averaging 4.8 ppg and 3.4 rpg.
Alford and his staff will welcome five new faces to the team in 2007-08, two junior college transfers (Johnnie Harris and Monquel Pegues) and three freshmen (Dairese Gary, Kem Nweke and Jonathan Wills).

Romney Phone Bank Raises $10.2M In One Day
Presumed presidential hopeful Mitt Romney walked away from a Las Vegas phone bank fundraiser Monday with an additional $10.25 million in campaign cash, the Associated Press reports.
The figure, more than three times his committee's low-ball prediction, is an indicator that the second fundraising quarter could turn out better for the former Massachusetts governor than the first, when Romney—the widely presumed GOP front-runner—was outraised by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., a tea party favorite who has yet to establish even an exploratory committee.
"This is a big kickoff for us, for our fundraising effort," Romney said in a Facebook town hall address Monday. "It's kind of a celebration. It's important to me that we get started, get the ball rolling today."
Romney, who is still in an exploratory phase but is expected to run, seems to be taking a different approach from his last hike down the White House path.
In 2008, he ran big in early-voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire, pouring tens of millions of his own money into the campaigns, only to lose the nomination to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. This time around, AP suggests, Romney is keeping his head down until he has clinched a reasonable number of big-name donors.

While my friends were back in Ohio meeting new professors, I was shaking hands with Matt Lauer. An opportunity I had wished for since I was a freshman the fact that I had finally realized it only reassured me more that I had chosen the right career path.
Journalism took me from the hills of southeast Ohio to the concrete jungle of New York City. In May, it even brought me here, to eastern Kentucky.
I grew up in a small town very similar to Hazard that overlooks the Ohio River. With the nearest news station more than an hour and a half away from my doorstep, a career in news was never something I planned. However, I have come to understand in recent years that life tends to lead you in the direction you are destined to go.
I was in fifth grade when I first realized the importance of TV news and the power it held in the world. It was a sunny, September morning when my teacher silently rose from her desk and turned on the television. None of us realized at the time what was happening, but we did what any child would do. We watched. That day was September 11, 2001. Watching live coverage on the Today Show of the attacks on the World Trade Center, I knew I was experiencing history as it happened. It would take another five years for me to realize that someday I wanted to be the one covering those moments.
For my Ohio Graduation Test essay, I was given the prompt what do you want to be when you grow up. My mind immediately returned to 9/11. As I jotted down my response, it hit me. I was going to go into broadcasting.
Fast forward to college, where I enrolled at Ohio University?s journalism school. In addition to my course work, I volunteered at WOUB, our university-run PBS station. While there, I reported, produced and anchored daily newscasts. It was in that newsroom that I gained all the experience I would need to obtain the two greatest accomplishments of my life: an internship with the Today Show and a job at WYMT.
Waking up in NYC on my first day of my senior year of college was a dream come true. While my friends were back in Ohio meeting new professors, I was shaking hands with Matt Lauer. An opportunity I had wished for since I was a freshman the fact that I had finally realized it only reassured me more that I had chosen the right career path.
Now, here I am. Doing exactly what I want right out of school. No, I am not in the Big Apple anymore. But that is okay. I truly believe every experience in life is one you can learn and grow from. And since moving to Kentucky, I have been blown away by the kindness and generosity of nearly everyone I meet. So thank you for so warmly welcoming this "Yankee" to your community!

Full detailed profile on Lorenzo Alcazar Played by Ted King on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Ted King (ABC)
Birthday: 1965-10-01
At the hospital, Skye is holding Lorenzo's hand and talking to him as he starts to come out of it. He is confused, but asks Skye where he is. Skye tells him that he is at the hospital and just had surgery to remove the bullet. "Who shot me?" "Sonny." "I don't like him, do I?" Jason comes running in and asks him for the code to he briefcase. Skye tries to help by reminding him about the shipment and Mr. Craig. Lorenzo says that his brother Luis handles all the shipments. Skye tells him that Luis is dead. Lorenzo is saddened to hear that. No matter how many times Jason and Skye say, "7�6�7�" Lorenzo simply cannot tell them the last three numbers.
Since Lorenzo was having dizzy spells on his way to the fundraiser, he and Skye have driven to the hospital instead. Patrick tells him that he has a brain bleed and that his business meeting will have to wait. Skye is able to talk him into having tests and they talk as they wait for the results. She assures him that as soon as the business transaction is over, they will have a wonderful life together. Lorenzo gets a little weepy as he realizes how fortunate he is to have her in his life. They are kissing when Patrick comes in with results. He needs to operate right away because blood is leaking into his brain. He will have a grand mal seizure and die if he puts it off.
At the hospital, Lorenzo has decided that he has to have the surgery, and Skye must take care of the delivery. He's starting to tremble as he gives her the instructions. If the code isn't reset every 24 hours, it will implode�She is to reset the code in the morning before she meets Mr. Craig�Then, she is to hand it to him in exchange for a check that she will wire transfer�.the code is�.7�.6�.7�.before he can finish the code, Lorenzo goes into a grand mal seizure.
Lorenzo is driving to the fundraiser with Skye. As he's talking, he tells her that his head is spinning.
Also in the lobby, Mr. Craig has come to meet Lorenzo and get an update on the shipment. Lorenzo assures him that the shipment is safe in the vault. Mr. Craig offers to take it off his hands right now. Lorenzo tells him that the hand off will happen exactly as he was instructed and not a minute before. Mr. Craig isn't happy with that answer.
Sky has met Lorenzoat the Metro Court. Lorenzo tells her that all he has to do now is make sure that he follows his orders implicitly. They put a plan to action. They tell an employee that they'd check on their briefcase that's stored in the vault. Once the guy has brought it to the front desk, Skye starts with her cover story�she's begging Lorenzo for a teeny peak at her Valentine's present. Lorenzo pulls the man-to-man stuff and asks the employee to block her view. While is back is turned, Lorenzo does something to the combination and then says he's finished. The worker takes it back to the vault. Over in the corner of the room we see Mr. Craig on the phone. He says, "If he doesn't hand over the shipment, we'll have to take it."
Skye and Lorenzo are talking from his hospital room. He tells her that until now, he's been happy enough to collect money to do his work and let things fall where they may. He tells her that she came along "all fire and ice" and jumpstarted his heart. He tells her that he is falling in love with her. He promises that this risky shipment is his ticket out. He prepares her by saying s soon as the double secret phone rings, he has to take shipment.
Lorenzo ends his phone call and tells Skye that he absolutely has to receive the shipment tonight. She's worried sick that he's not strong enough. She insists that she's coming along as backup. He tells her that he loves it when she's fearless and says he knows very little about what they're supposed to be getting. He says, "All I know is that it's small enough to fit in a briefcase and big enough to destroy us all."
Skye and a very stiff Lorenzo walk into the Metro Court. Max is reading the newspaper and they think that he's there to intercept the shipment for Sonny. They act like they believe his story about not working for Sonny anymore and walk away. Skye offers to distract while Lorenzo takes possession of the shipment. Soon, the mystery guy arrives and Skye snaps into action. She blocks Max's view of Lorenzo and prattles on about a secret valentine's present. Max says he'll never understand women, but seems pleased to be in her company. The next thing we see is Lorenzo asking Mr. Morton at the front desk if he can put his silver briefcase in the vault. As he's filling out the proper forms, Sam follows Mr. Morton's orders and delivers the briefcase to the vault.
Skye is not happy to find Lorenzo in his room, dressed and ready to leave the hospital. She won't hear of it; she puts him back in his pjs and tucks him back into bed. She begs him to try to delay the shipment so that he has time to recuperate. He says he'll try, but doesn't think it will work.

HDFC Bank - Customer care of HDFC
201 Reviews
Himmat Sarvaiya
I have a savings account (AC no. 005671000006835 ) in HDFC Bank at Hughes Road Branch, Mumbai since 8 months. I also have debit account in the same branch. My performance is also very good as none of my cheques have bounced yet.
I recently applied for a personal loan of Rs.10, 00, 000 in my bank and was assured by the customer care that i was eligible to get the loan and was askedto show the papers.
Then suddenly these people rejected my application without a valid reason explained to me.I was totally shocked by this unproffessional behaviour of this bank.The costumer care department is also very rude and does not answer our queries satisfactorily. They also havent yet returned my papers.
On the same papers & same amount another bank is ready to pay me the loan.
I am well respected person in my society and am capable of paying back.
I want to know if the assurances that HDFC gives are just limited till their brochures.
I request the bank management to pay attention to this.
Yours Faithfully.
Himmat Sarvaiya.

New elementary school to welcome Helotes students Monday
School boasts bilingual classrooms, new technology
HELOTES, Texas - Los Reyes Elementary School will open its doors Monday to hundreds of Pre-K through 5th-grade students.
Before new classmates are introduced, teachers are already meeting fresh faces.
"You get to meet all these new educators and bounce ideas off of each other and come up with all new plans that are different than where you and from," said first-grade teacher Daneen Bolido.
Wth any new school, comes new technology. Teachers will be able to use handheld tablets in the classrooms that will project whatever they write onto a touchscreen at the front of the class, giving them the freedom to move around the room and get rid of bulky projector carts.
"I don't think there's anything out there that we don't have at this time," said Principal Kathy Gorsche, referring to the latest gadgets.
Los Reyes is a bilingual school, where the goal is to teach Spanish speaking children English.
"Classrooms right now are a good mix of both English and Spanish speaking students. "So there's instruction in both languages."
A fresh facility offers plenty for students and parents to look forward to. But Principal Gorsche says its what inside that makes it more than just a nice building.
"I think when you feel that energy and see how the teachers want to do their best," Gorsche said, "I think that's what they should be excited about."
There will be 350 kids at Los Reyes on Monday. The school's capacity is 830. So some classrooms are empty, but Gorsche says they're ready to go because they're enrolling more students every day.
