A federal jury has found former Lighthouse Inn operator Maureen Clark guilty of fraudulently obtaining more than $1.7 million in a scheme to build a resort and casino in Lakeshore, Miss.
The jury in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport deliberated for less than two days before finding Clark, 58, of Stonington guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, 13 counts of wire fraud and six counts of money laundering. The jury found her not guilty of one count of wire fraud.
She faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on each count of conspiracy and wire fraud and a maximum of 10 years on each count of money laundering. She remains free until sentencing, which is expected to take place in October.
Her business partner, Christopher Plummer, pleaded guilty in January and is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 31.
According to the government, Clark and Plummer held themselves out as authorized members of New England Resorts LLC and falsely represented to investors that they owned or controlled hundreds of acres of land in a Mississippi town. They said they had invested several hundred millions of their own and would be building a 2-million-square-foot resort with a casino, hotels, condominiums and a medical facility.
In soliciting funds for the project, Clark and Plummer falsely represented that major Wall Street firms had committed to the project, according to the government. Clark said she was getting finances from overseas sources, including nearly $1 billion from an international corporation called Africa-Israel Investments.
The government calculated Clark spent $900,000 of the investor funds on the financially troubled Lighthouse Inn, a New London restaurant and hotel that has since been foreclosed.
At the trial before Judge Warren W. Eginton, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michael S. McGarry and Richard J. Schechter called investors who described a sales pitch that involved building a resort that would help revive a region that had been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. A number of the victims said they met with Clark and Plummer at the Lighthouse Inn, were told about the project and were convinced to invest their money.
Defense attorneys Hubert J. Santos and Jessica M. Santos maintained that the project was legitimate and put Clark on the witness stand last week to tell her story.
Hubert Santos said in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that Clark would be appealing.
"She never really set out to hurt anybody," said Santos. "The day she was arrested, she was working on the project."
Clark had options to purchase 370 acres in Lakeshore and was working hard to find financing for the project when the economy collapsed, Santos said. He said Clark never profited from the deal. She sent $500,000 to Mississippi to secure the options, he said, and other money went into the Lighthouse Inn, where she was just a 10 percent owner.
Had the project gone forward, "These people would have called her one of the greatest commercial developers in the history of America," Santos said.
Michael Abromowitz, whose Ohio family invested $250,000 in the project, said in an email that the Abromowitz family is "extremely happy with the verdict."
"We feel after years of hell and false promises that justice has been done," Abromowitz wrote. "With Ms. Clark locked up, we can rest easy knowing that no one else will fall victim to her."
Clark's partner, Plummer, pleaded guilty in January to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Plummer, 50, has been held in federal custody since he was arrested Nov. 29, 2010. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison when J. Eginton sentences him next month. He faces a fine of up to $250,000 and will be required to repay the victims of the scheme.
As part of his plea agreement, Plummer also agreed to forfeit his interest in a 4.35-acre parcel in Stonington, a car and funds that were seized during the investigation.

: [Fedora-xen] Xen - large virtual machines
: Fri, 5 Sep 2008 22:37:03 +0200
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a solution to run some Xen VM's with fairly significant(up to ~30TB) local storage volumes. We plan to use two Sun "Thumper" x4540's with 48*1TB drives (8 controllers).
I have a few questions, and would appreciate feedback before I try to achieve something dumb or impossible :)
Has Xen been tested / does Xen support very large volumes? We will probably end up using ext3 (as it seems its the only supported option), so no single volume in a VM will exceed ~16TB, but we will be at this end of the spectrum on several volumes.
Can anyone suggest a better option than creating 7 RAID5 arrays of 6 disks each (1 per controller); using the remaining 6 drives for RAID-10 for DomU and hot spares and then adding the 7 RAID5 volumes to a LVM group, creating a LV per Xen VM block device? Has anybody used mdadm and/or LVM to handle this number of drives?
We are required to be able to bring up VMs on one machine on another within a reasonable period of time (this is defined as days, not hours) and to keep the backup copy reasonably in sync (again, days not hours). Can anyone comment on the suitability of rsync to copy such massive block devices? We would use version 3, which I know has improved performance for this sort of move, but is it going to literally take forever to checksum 48TB? If anyone is able to give example of rsync performance (same switch or crossover - whichever we conclude is fastest) over gigabit Ethernet, that would be a bonus. We expect there to be significant spare resources available to domU at night for checksumming if required.
I know XFS is not supported by RHEL, but does it work - and/or well? I've seen several reports that suggest it performs far better (best summary
) but what is it like for reliability?
Does anyone has any suggestions / improvements to this plan? Has anybody done this before - with similar hardware?
[An alternative scenario, if we can get it, would be a third Thumper - in which case we would run half the VMs on each of two Thumpers running RAID-10 (8 RAID-1 volumes, each a PV) for ~24TB per machine, and use the third Thumper, partitioned as above with RAID-5 for more like RAID-5 levels of storage efficiency, for backups of VMs and disaster recovery. Comments on this would be fantastic too.]
The VMs are expected to be quite IO-heavy, hence the requirement for local storage (not iSCSI) and para virtualization.
Any comments much appreciated.
Many thanks,

A Kinston man was shot numerous times during a home invasion Friday night.
Kinston police say James Williams told officers he heard a loud crash while inside his Old Snow Hill Road home around 9:25 p.m.
He says a black man in his mid 20s was armed with a handgun and told him to "give it up."
The man was shot in the lower stomach and thigh. He was able to drive himself to Lenoir Memorial Hospital, which is just a couple of blocks away. He was then transferred via helicopter to Vidant Medical Center.
The gunman is described as 5'10" tall, weighing about 180 pounds, and has dark skin and braided hair down his neck.
Anyone with information on this shooting should call Kinston police at 252-939-3160.

Locker Room Buzz: Buffalo Bills
By Mike Rodak
PITTSBURGH -- Observed in the locker room after the
Buffalo Bills
' 23-10
to the
Pittsburgh Steelers
Marrone explains decision to punt:
Early in the fourth quarter, down 14 points, the Bills faced a fourth-and-5 from the Steelers' 36-yard line. They chose to punt, a decision that coach Doug Marrone defended after the game. "I still think we're going to get enough possessions, trying to play the field position," he said. "We weren't able to make big plays, so I was trying to play the field position where we could get good field position and pin them back."
Playoffs fading:
It's debatable whether the playoffs were ever a serious consideration for the Bills, who entered the season with a first-year head coach and rookie quarterback. At 3-7, they're still far from being officially eliminated, but they will need to win five of their final six games to finish with a winning record. Playoffs or not, however, Marrone talked about the need to continue to fight in each game. "I don't want to give you the old 'They play to win the game' speech, but there is a lot of truth to that," he said. "There are a lot of players on this team that have the potential to come back. There are a lot of coaches that I plan on coming back. There are a lot of things that we need to do. There are a lot of things that we need to establish."
Three injuries to note:
The Bills announced in the fourth quarter that
Stevie Johnson
had left the the game with a groin injury. Marrone didn't have an update on Johnson but added that safety
Da'Norris Searcy
(hamstring) and
Chris Hogan
(concussion-like symptoms) were also injured. Hogan was spotted in the locker room after the game.

Could be a bit more glossy IMO. You guys propably know Raptors have this reflective RAM coating.
Modern Warfare Mod 3 brings World in Conflict from the Cold War into the Modern Age. It also ups the ante on realism and authenticity in every role – Infantry, Armor, Support and Air, while trying our best to keep everything relatively balanced for fun and interesting gameplay.
Could be a bit more glossy IMO. You guys propably know Raptors have this reflective RAM coating.
The reflective RAM coating only works against radio frequency bands, not visible bands :-)
That said, I did look at numerous F-22 raptor pictures, and wanted to tune it balanced between a new unused hardware and somewhat used one (used ones don't have any reflection at all due to dust, etc).
well that makes sense now.
whenever i create a game it goes back to the menu? any suggestions?
Looks so sweet
How can you call in Jets? I saw them in your videos, but I cant find them... :C
Looks so cool wish I had it
Looks good. Does this think also gets its wings riepd off by flying in bad weather? :)
Some new detailed models made for MW Mod 4.0.

It's Little J's 5th birthday. During the Christmas season he received a Cupcake Cookbook that's he's poured over since, picking out favorites, asking the people he loves if they'll pick out their favorite too. The Dragon Cupcake has been his consistent favorite.
He asks me to read the list of ingredients and we both wonder about fondant, I'm not that advanced with my baking and decorating.
When his birthdays rolls around, he puts in his official request for the dragon cupcake.
We make a trip to the store and look for things that will work in the making of the dragon. I'm not brave enough to try to make and work with fondant, so I try my hand at a material that's more familiar, my favorite childhood candy, Starburst.
The boys help me make the cupcakes and we set them aside to cool right before bed. After I tuck them in, I get to work with my fingers trying to mold Starburst into a dragon shape.
It take some hand and finger strength, but once the candy starts molding, it's not too hard. I was able to shape the dragon to my satisfaction and set it on top of one of the cupcakes for a birthday breakfast treat.
Upon inspection, Jonah is happy too.

Peter Ackroyd's Englishness: A Continental View
Neagu, Adriana, Contemporary Review
IN recent years it has become fashionable in Britain for politicians and writers to ask what it means to be 'English'. Some of this has been stirred by the effects of Britain becoming part, albeit a questioning part, of the EU and, even more, by the effects of devolution of Scotland and Wales. At the start of this year the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, tried to promote a debate about Britishness and establish a 'British Day' to encourage people to fly the national flag. This to some extent was a Scottish politician's (and one who hopes to become Prime Minister) need to promote Britishness over Englishness. Yet beyond the temporary needs of a politician there is the serious question of what it is to be English, and what it means to be an 'English' writer and imbue an 'indigenously' English imagination. These are questions that resonate throughout the work of Peter Ackroyd, a contemporary Englishman whose polymathic range of achievement elicits superlatives one would have thought only appropriate for the regretfully departed.
An accomplished poet, novelist, and literary critic, and one of England's foremost biographers, Ackroyd is the author of an impressive body of work, ranking as one of the most prolific English writers of all times. Lately he has also become a popular figure on television with a series of his own works; in recent months he has been presenting the political ideas of the great Romantic poets. Having established himself as a distinctive presence in literary history through radical biographical innovation, Ackroyd has in the latter years become indispensable for an informed discussion of English cultural identity. With 35 books to his name, he is one of the most influential and enduring figures in contemporary literature and, as one enthusiastic reviewer of The Life of Thomas More intimated, he is probably among the few contemporary English writers to be read in a hundred years' time. While this may not necessarily be a staple of 'greatness guaranteed', it is clearly a reflection of the manner in which Ackroyd's dense and passionately articulate prose engages notions of national and international appreciation, the English and the continental imagination, acting as an agent provocateur and inviting value judgements along with a timely rethinking of the question of English identity. And whereas it is arguable whether Ackroyd is a 'good' writer, it is beyond dispute that he is an important writer, one whose impact on redefining national culture is yet to come to the fore. The main argument that the present article advances is that in the local-universal, personal-collective, inside-outside dynamics that it forges, Ackroyd's writing of Englishness can be viewed as a catalyst to an integrative examination of English identity in the trans-national context of the new Europe. I would also suggest that whereas in England Ackroyd's vision of national culture may appear utopian, in a European framework of interpretation it confers to his writing a compelling timelessness, that may, in the long run, prove more in tune with the values of the post-secular world.
Stature, expanse and the encyclopaedic formation are not the only respects in which Ackroyd cuts a singular figure in the current scene of writing. A 'man of the books' in the fullest and least contemporary of fashions, Ackroyd interests himself in all the non-voguish, tabooed or contentious subjects, writing with the stamina and authority of someone with little use for relativism, apologia and famous English understatements. A 'litterateur' at home in the contrived recherche style, he is high-spirited and single-minded, driven by something of a tunnel vision, looking unaffected by the harrowing pressures of the publishing industry, public or critical expectations, formulating strong uncompromising statements. Thinking ahead bigger and bigger every time, Ackroyd goes for the most extravagant of projects. His desire for grand design is matched only by his zeal for writing. …

It's the first homegrown local bank to open its doors in Jacksonville since the early 1950s.
In the midst of troubling financial times and a recession, Coastal Bank and Trust in Jacksonville hopes to start from scratch and provide a fresh customer oriented approach to banking.
The bank opens just days after regulators shut down Cape Fear Bank in Wilmington. It is the only bank to receive approval to open this year from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the Eastern Atlantic region.
Bank CEO Robert Norris says he believes this is a great time to open a new community bank. "We have a clean slate, pure balance sheet and very well capitalized so for us now it's about making good quality loans."
The bank is housed in the old Marine Federal Credit Union building that's been remodeled on Marine Boulevard in Jacksonville.

She has also gone over her average 50th percentile for weight and is upwards of 70th now. My husband and I are both quite thin but now I'm worried I'm a terrible mom because she appears to be bordering on overweight and I just don't want her to be an obese and diabetic child. Based on studies I've read, I'm also concerned that the junk food I ate when I was pregnant with her has preprogrammed her for weight and health problems.

To hear Karl Kirchwey read "Roman Park, Noon," click
The water, gray-green like your eyes,

The needle and thread of an old woman
move through a flash of white cotton
as she mutters, "Men like to kill."
A sphinx nearby rolls a man's skull
under its paw, prismed with
clear spray, and a girl's mouth
forms a grainy "O" of surprise
at the satyr lurking behind some acanthus.
Straight-backed girls play in the shade,
their blouses immaculate.
Two police officers water their horses

A young man with a book

No disrespect to Tom, but it's been a long time in WSBK that a very successful rider moved to Kawasaki knowing it was a bike capable of winning. The bike has pretty much been the career killer for many in the past. But thanks to Tom and the current team, can they turn that around? I hope so. Good luck Sykes and Kawa.

High-tech now state's biggest employer
The Associated Press
RICHARDSON (AP) - Move over, oil and gas. The high-tech industry is now the biggest employer in Texas.
State comptroller John Sharp said Monday that high-tech industries employ 781,000 Texans, about 10 percent of the state's workforce.
Sharp said the Lone Star State's past was built around cattle, cotton, oil and gas.
"But the future is now in high-tech," he said.
Employment in high-tech businesses has grown twice as fast as total statewide employment since 1994, Sharp said.
The comptroller's office examined five high-tech industries: semiconductors and computers, communications, electric and electronics manufacturing, defense technology, and biotechnology. Technical services and technology intensive manufacturing were also included in the analysis.
Sharp said he found that high-tech industries represented about 8 percent of Texas' Gross State Product, compared with the oil and gas industry which provided about 11 percent of the GSP.
"The oil and gas industry has been and will continue to be an important segment of our economy," Sharp said. "But it's clear from these numbers that the high tech industry is contributing in a big way."
Aside from the analysis, Sharp announced a series of recommendations to ensure enough skilled workers for high-tech jobs. He suggested that in the next session the Texas Legislature appropriate $26 million in grants to schools and universities; expanding the skills development fund by another $4 million earmarked for training of high-tech workers; and targeting $5 million of existing Smart Jobs program grants to help businesses train workers.
"We have to do all we can to create a technically skilled workforce to meet industry demands," Sharp said.
Nearly 90 percent of Texas' high tech jobs are located in big cities. The Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas contained about two-thirds of these jobs. Austin and San Antonio contained another 16 percent.

You have nothing to worry about. I will also be 14 weeks on Sunday and feel the same. My stomach is flat in the morning and have a bump in the afternoon. I had very minor morning sickness. (we are those lucky ones i guess) I don't feel pregnant at all but i know for a fact that my baby is somewhere in my stomach perfectly healthy and growing at its pace. And so is yours. Just relax and enjoy your pregnancy!! :)))posted 07/18/2012 by mexm80

Apple has just unveiled a new operating system for Mac – OS X Mavericks at WWDC 2013. Among the new power user features introduced in Mavericks is multi-display support enhancement: the menu bar and dock are now available on any display, and users can run windowed or full-screen apps on whichever display they choose, with no configuration required. With Mavericks you can also use your HDTV as a second display using Apple TV and AirPlay.
Waiting for Apple to bring the App Store and iOS games to the Apple TV? Well, it looks that BlueStacks will be first to make this move and bring iPhone and iPad games to your TV screen. The company has added virtualization technology to its upcoming GamePop console, making it possible to run iOS apps on it. Initially, the device was going to run only Android games but there has been a new development and games written for iPhone and iPad will also run on console through a virtualization process called LookingGlass.
Apple has just added a new "Apple Events" channel to the Apple TV, indicating that it will be live streaming today's WWDC keynote to your little black box.
Tune in at 10.00 a.m. (Pacific) on June 10 to watch this event live.

Update: Latest Apple TV update broke the Plex hack, here is how to fix it.
Earlier this week we reported that it's now possible to run Plex on non-jailbroken Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3, as group of devs (Baa, roidy and f00b4r) has released a PlexConnect, a little hack that allows a fully-functional Plex client on non-jailbroken ATV2 and ATV3. You can find more details here.
And here is a tutorial on how to get it all working using a Mac:
Plex client has been available for Apple TV for a few years now, but it only worked on jailbroken Apple TV 2. What's more, it wasn't compatible with the latest Apple TV software versions. Well, that has just changed as a group of devs (Baa, roidy and f00b4r) has released a PlexConnect, a "super clever little hack which allows a rich, fully-functional Plex client on un-jailbroken ATV2 and ATV3 (1080p!) devices." Here is how it works:
The power of XBMC is its ability to manage content weather on your Apple TV, N.A.S. device, or network connected computer. It does not matter if you have movies, television shows, music, or pictures XBMC is designed with the unique ability to incorporate this content into the software itself. This is an extremely attractive feature for those of us utilizing XBMC on our Apple TV, especially the Apple TV 2. With its limited storage and lack of USB drives, the Apple TV 2 is primed for taking advantage of XBMC's custom Library features. Let's start by looking at the primary libraries and what each offers.

app failed to be activated when i drap a file onto task bar
Sun Nov 18, 2012 6:09 am
for example, when i drap a rmvb file onto smplayer's window tab on the task manager(taskbar), it is expected that the smplayer should be activated and then i can drop the file into its window and play it. but it didn't be activated.
the same thing happens to konqueror.
when drap a mp3 file, the same thing happens to amarok.
so i think its not related to dolphin nor smplayer.
i think its related to KDE. it seems work well before i upgrated KDE from 4.8.5 to 4.9.3, but i dont remember well exactly.
openSUSE 12.2
dolphin 2.1
smplayer 0.8.1

I don't think that was ever possible.
For now you'll have to wait for the application to focus.

Re: app failed to be activated when i drap a file onto task
Wed Dec 26, 2012 5:35 pm
I was going to post a topic with the similar content.
When I move a file (e.g. subtitles or mp3-file) on vlc media player (or some other program) it just does not focus on it. It does not matter how long I wait.
Please, add such function (that, at least, the program will focus), as it is present in Windows(!) and is very useful, when adding subtitles to a movie or a song to the playlist etc.
This function is just missing (Kubuntu till 2012.10 with newest updates (KDE 4.9.3) and I don't remember it working on the previous versions.
Please, add it.
Re: app failed to be activated when i drap a file onto task
Tue Jan 01, 2013 6:54 am
Can you please clarify exactly the behaviour you are after here?
I observed the following:
- If a drag is initiated, then the target application is hovered over in the Task Manager, the target application will be given focus
- If a drag is initiated, but the drag is just made directly to the (already visible) target application, then no change in focus will occur.
Is it the 2nd behaviour you are requesting here?

Dear bcooksley,
after downloading the latest updates of January 3rd, 2013 for Kubuntu 12.10 64bit it looks like this bug has been solved. Namely - focusing of application from taskbar works.
Namely: when I drag a file to an application, which
- is minimized in task manager or
- the application is hidden behind other applications, so the one can not see the needed window but just an icon with description in task manager,
than focusing is working.
That was the requested behaviour from my side, which now works!

I'm not a fan of the morning sickness, but I honestly prefer it to being tired all the time. Not just tired, exhausted. Unfortunately the two often go hand in hand. :-(

I have both, but even if I weren't dead tired I would be too exhausted to eat lol. This is my 4th pregnancy and I don't remember being THIS tired and sick so soon!! I never had any symptoms unti l6 or 7 weeks before. I thank God my 6 month old is a very easy going baby!!
I'm also exhausted and run a preschool/childcare from my home. However, I remember what MS was like from my last pregnancy and I'll keep the fatigue, thank you ;)

OHH I have it all... But I wouldn't trade it! I have morning sickness pretty much all day, but the worst is at 7pm. I find that eating every hour or two helps sooo much! I haven't thrown up once. I'm pretty much snacking all day long! My girls hurt, all day... BUT I could do without the exhaustion, I just want to sleep, crawl under my desk and sleep...think anyone will notice? lol

While I didn't see Stessel's impersonator, the Sarles account was going for a mountain man vibe, with tweets about moonshine and being a codger. The best part was Sarles's "bio":

So something just happened and I thought it was funny so I decided to share with you.
I went downstairs and I'm wearing these red pants with a red shirt to go with it.
I walk into the kitchen while the family is eating and everyone at the table turns and stares at me.
"Why are you all staring at me?" I ask. "Do I look appetizing or something?"
My grandfather laughs. "Yeah. You're Little Red Riding Hood."
"But she doesn't have a cape." Hara cuts in.
"Or a hood." ZaiZai adds.
"She had a cape?" Pop pop asks.
"Yes. Where do you think the hood came from?" My grandmother, Bue asked.
"…I…I thought she came from the hood."
Everyone laughs at that.
"So you thought Little Red Riding Hood was ghetto?" ZaiZai asks.
"Well that's all he knows is the hood." Bue tells ZaiZai.
So…I just wanted to share that with you. I hope you enjoyed it. I think a bad-ass Little Red Riding Hood would be pretty cool though.

Stimulate your senses at LA's latest seafood restaurant—this time, we're in Koreatown—with a sensory-overload dinner theatre: The kitchen sautées in the firing wok, skilled hands furiously shuck bivalves, barmen shake up cocktails, speakers blare 'Top 40' indie rock and dual flat screens show the game and the latest Bond film. Groups happily dig into plates to share—try the fried catfish filets ($8) that's lightly battered and fried and well-seasoned for a crispy bite that's slightly salty, tangy, spicy and completely addictive—and bivalves from the a raw bar. There's also an Asian-inspired array of crudo from salmon carpaccio with ponzu sauce and fish roe to—gasp—ankimo aka monkfish liver. Perhaps the mish-mash menu should have been an indicator to the less-than-perfect meal about to unfold.
The obligatory lobster roll ($8 for mini, $16 for regular) was served Connecticut-style (i.e. with drawn butter, served on the side here) with chewy, overcooked meat that was overly dressed with tarragon on a soggy toasted brioche bun. The uni pasta ($18) was a sloppy pile of too-soft noodles mixed with a heavy hand of cream. Steamed clams ($15) and congee ($12-$16) showed promise with an unusual twist of Eastern inflection—a scan of the room with families and groups of friends confirmed we were in Koreatown, after all—taro noodles and abalone for the clams, and the option to flavor with uni, clam or abalone for the rice porridge. Both, however, failed to deliver with sloppy cooking and unrefined flavors and slight of hand, resulting in a watered-down bowl with sub-par shellfish.
If, however, you and your dining mates don't mind the occasional wait (it's no reservations for parties less than six), service served with a smile and a shout (yes, it's very loud) and a group-friendly option that's a change from the usual Koreatown spots (menu hits or misses aside) then take a seat and enjoy the show.
What to eat: Start with oysters on the half shell—get 'em for $1 a piece at happy hour (daily 4-7pm)—and continue with finger foods to share like fried catfish and crispy garlic Brussels sprouts.
What to drink: Sure, there are champagne and barrel-aged cocktails and an old and new world selection of wine (funny enough for a seafood restaurant, heavy on Napa Cabs by the bottle). But what pairs best with seafood and a rowdy dinner crowd? We're sticking with $6 Sapporo.
Where to sit: Groups can spread out along communal hightop tables, while couples should opt for a spot in front of the raw bar for full action view of the live—pun intended—action. Plus, it'll be quiet enough, so you won't have to scream over the din of the dining room.

Passing gas: What went wrong with Xcel's D.C. lobbyist
class=img_thumbleft>Chances are that your home energy bill containsany number of fees
that make you feel gassy. There's a line item for a "distribution charge," and another for the "fuel clause adjustment," and another for the city tax, and yet another for something called the "basic service charge," which doesn't include any of those other items. What you won't find broken down on your bill is the pennies that you paid Xcel Energy over the last two years to hire the Alexander Strategy Group, the powerful Washington lobbying firm that dissolved in scandal last month.
Ed Buckham, former chief of staff to Tom DeLay founded the firm with Jack Abramoff associate Tony C. Rudy. In the last two months, the DeLay and Abramoff investigations have pulled the Alexander Strategy Group into a whirlpool of corruption charges and indictments. In addition to the boring business of accused bribery and illegal junkets, ASG seems to have had its hands in some strange entanglements.
There is, for instance, Tom DeLay's non-profit, the U.S. Family Network, which was organized by Buckham. The group didn't formally lobby on behalf of U.S. families but according to reporting in the Washington Post, it apparently did accept a million dollars from a shadowy London law firm on behalf of Russian gas interests. To be fair, one U.S. family did well under the employ of the Alexander Strategy Group--that is, Tom DeLay's. The firm paid the Republican House leader's wife Christine $3,200 a month for four years in a do-nothing job.
When DeLay's associates wanted to get away from the wife and kids, they always had a few rooms at the Washington townhouse that U.S. Family Group purchased with cash. According to the Washington Post, DeLay's crew called it "the Safe House," a term more common to gangsters than Capitol Hill functionaries.
Alexander Strategy Group is no more, having lost its good name in the press and the power of its main political patron, DeLay. Yet in its heyday, Alexander Strategy Group lobbied for such corporate giants as Enron, Eli Lilly, Microsoft, Freddie Mac, BellSouth, and Time Warner. Their 24th largest client, according to the good government group the Center for Public Integrity, was the Minneapolis-based power company Xcel Energy.
According to Senate records, in 2004 Xcel paid the Alexander Strategy Group $265,000. That sum came on top of the $2.5 million that Xcel spent to lobby for itself, as tabulated in the Senate's lobbying database. So why hire another expensive outfit? According to Xcel's senior media flack Mary Sandok, before contracting with ASG, Xcel enjoyed the services of a solitary government affairs representative in Washington. (For the record, Senate filings list six Washington D.C. lobbyists--in addition to the Alexander Strategy Group--who were registered to represent Xcel in 2004, plus another lobbyist in Annapolis.) Xcel's contracts with the Alexander Strategy Group, Sandok explains, advanced the company's interests in "tax-related matters."
Curiously, on March 15, 2005, the lobbying powerhouse sent a letter to the secretary of the senate, politely revising its 2004 filing. The letter explained that ASG had originally submitted client records under the name "Excel Energy;" the proper name, of course, is spelled "Xcel."
ASG partner Ed Stewart wrote then, "it appears that our firm made a clerical mistake in the LDA filings for one of our clients....I apologize for any inconvenience this oversight may have caused your office and ask that you would kindly amend your records to reflect this updated information."
In other words, after two years of representing Xcel and after cashing $445,000 in checks, the Alexander Strategy Group literally couldn't remember its client's name.
So does Xcel feel like it got its money's worth from the DeLay crew on K Street? "We generally were satisfied with the firm's efforts on our behalf," Sandok says by email. The Xcel rep's next sentence, however, doesn't exactly sound like it comes from a satisfied customer: "Our relationship with Alexander Strategy Group ended in 2005, prior to the firm's demise."

"It all started when my dog began getting free roll-over minutes." — Jay London
We Americans are staunch in our conviction that we must pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, earn our keep, dance for our dinner.
But our dogs? Not so much.
A great majority of American dogs spend eight or more hours every weekday snoozing on the couch, waiting for their hardworking humans to come home and deliver dinner and a belly rub — free of charge.
It's high time our dogs got off the continental-breakfast bandwagon. After all, you don't get somethin' for nothin'. Am I right, folks?
OK, so I'm not suggesting you tell your dog to get a job or get out. But I would like to introduce you to the wide world of mental and physical stimulation for dogs.
We all know that a tired dog is a good dog. Start your dog's day with a walk or a run before breakfast. This provides exercise, which drains energy and maintains fitness. It also offers the mental stimulation of moving beyond his small world, especially if you change your route regularly. Just make sure he "sits" and "waits" before fastening the leash and exiting the door. After all, an outing is a major life reward that should be earned.
And don't stop there.
Instead of spooning your dog's morning meal into a bowl and handing it over as the ultimate freebie, divide it in half. Stuff one half into one of the many food puzzle toys on the market and put that aside for when you leave for work. Take the other half and turn it into a game of Find It. Here's how you play:
Have your dog "sit" and "stay." Go to a room or section of the yard where he can't see you, and hide small piles of his kibble in various places. When you're done, instruct your dog to "find it."
Set your dog up to succeed by easing him into the game. Food should be at least partially visible until your dog gets the hang of working his nose to find it. It's not unusual to have to point him in the right direction initially. Gradually increase the difficulty as your dog's sniffer proves itself worthy. Advanced games of Find It involve hiding treats and kibble in flowerpots, under cushions and behind furniture, rocks and trees. This kind of nose work is both physically and mentally exhausting. And it offers the added bonus of reinforcing training and the notion that you control all good things in life.
When your dog has successfully "found it" all, and when you're ready to get on with your day, hide the food puzzle toy (offered in varying degrees of difficulty) that contains the other half of his breakfast and instruct him to "find it" before you leave the house. (Again, how well you hide it should correspond with the skill of your dog's nose.) Voila! Mental and physical stimulation even in your absence. Repeat for dinner.
Countless toys and games of this nature exist for the pleasure and growth of you and your dog. Hide-and-Seek is a version of Find It that uses you as the ultimate reward. Fetch is a great game that reinforces training — "Here, "Drop it, "Give," "Fetch" — and provides an awesome physical workout. Agility classes, pack hikes, playdates, trips to the dog park, and group or one-on-one training sessions are all forms of mental and physical stimulation that ward off boredom and all the behavioral problems that come with it.
Sorry, pups. No more free lunches!
Dog trainer Matthew "Uncle Matty" Margolis is co-author of 18 books about dogs, a behaviorist, a popular radio and television guest, and host of the PBS series "Woof! It's a Dog's Life!"
