BRISTOL, Va. (WUSA9/AP) - Virginia's inspector general said he's investigating whether an assistant attorney general improperly advised energy companies in a court fight with southwest Virginia landowners over natural gas royalties.
Michael Morehart tells the Bristol Herald Courier (http://bit.ly/13h483m) he has no timetable for completing the investigation.
A Democratic lawmaker asked the inspector general to investigate after a federal judge expressed shock over Assistant Attorney General Sharon Pigeon's emails to attorneys for EQT Production Co. and CNX. In the emails, Pigeon seems to offer legal advice on how the lawyers should fight lawsuits seeking at least $28 million in natural gas royalties tied up in state-mandated escrow accounts.
Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's gubernatorial campaign has received more than $100,000 from CNX's parent company.
WVIR in Charlottesville, Va. obtained a statement from the attorney general which read:
"We're glad the Inspector General's Office has been looking into this case because they're going to find that our office acted appropriately. We've been cooperating with the IG at every step of the way. One of the man functions of the attorney general's office is to defend Virginia statutes from legal challenges and that's exactly what we we've done in that case."
On Tuesday, Cuccinelli's challenger in the Virginia gubernatorial race, Terry McAuliffe, also released a statement:
"News today that the Inspector General is investigating Ken Cuccinelli for his role in helping out-of-state energy companies against Virginia landowners is confirmation of a disturbing trend in the Attorney General's office. Whether it is Bobby Thompson, Jonnie Williams or out-of-state energy companies, Ken Cuccinelli has led one of the most conflicted and scandal plagued Attorney General's offices in recent memory. A federal judge already said that she was "shocked" at the conduct of the Attorney General's office in this case.
"While this investigation is ongoing, the Attorney General should immediately recuse himself and his office from all matters involving the dispute between energy companies and landowners as well as all matters before the Oil and Gas Board. It is completely inappropriate that Cuccinelli continues his role in the case despite being under investigation for his conduct.
"Southwest Virginia landowners deserve to be paid what they are owed."

Mopar Dodge Plymouth And Chrysler Music - Mopar's Vintage Vinyl RecordsWritten by on March 1, 2006 A Look At The Almost Unknown World Of Mopar On Vintage Vinyl
It's not just Mopar's cars that are collectible, so are its spin-off items, such as literature, dealer signs, neon clocks, and plastic promo cars. But one area that has escaped widespread notice is records-those quaint black discs we once used to store sound. Mopar has its share of cool records. We've put together a nice little overview, showing you some rare and some not-so-rare records from nine different categories. Some basic rules of record collecting are:
• Hottest years are 1962-1973. Prices fall off dramatically before and after.
• Condition and completeness are king.
• There are still plenty of hot deals on eBay.
• Prices can swing wildly. One record can bring $80, while an even better copy may not break $20. You can usually get a lot for less than $25, or even $10.
Bottom line, there is a lot of good fun in collecting records without dropping a ton of cash. It's an area of Mopar history that's yet to emerge. So here's a look at some of the records out there.
Popular Music
Because Mopars were so hot on the street and track, they were also hot in popular music. The Beach Boys kicked off an explosion in car music that ran hot and heavy through 1965. In "Shut Down," the epic story of a dragstrip battle between a fuel-injected Sting Ray and a 413 Super Stock Dodge, the Corvette came out the winner, but in an actual race in the early '90s recreating this famed musical event, the poor Corvette was lucky to escape with its life. The mighty 413 ran circles around it.
A Super Stock Dodge also stars in the Jan & Dean hit, "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena." The song has her driving a Super Stock Dodge and "the terror of Colorado Boulevard," despite a photo on the back of the album showing her in a '64 Dart convertible.
New Model Announcements
For years, standard practice was for the manufacturers to throw elaborate shindigs to introduce the year's new models. Typically, they would commission original music from prominent writers, hire Hollywood or Broadway stars to sing it, and host their dealers and the motoring press. Some call it "Industrial Theater." The recordings were handed out to insiders.
On the right is the record from Dodge's '64 Announcement show. This was Dodge's 50th Anniversary, hence the golden theme. "What a Thrill to Buy An Automobile," "Let's Write," and "What a Thrill to Sell An Automobile" are the tunes on the A-side. These records were produced in relatively low volume, unlike music for public consumption that was cranked out in the millions.
"Music for Modern Americans" is a promo from a Chrysler-sponsored tour of Thurlow Spurr and the Spurrlows, "...young and lively group of musicians and singers who are bringing music that 'really moves' to high schools across the country." Both are 7-inch (same size as a 45) 33s.
Racing Personalities
Top Mopar racers Richard Petty and Sox & Martin released their own albums in 1970 and 1971, respectively. "Meet Richard Petty" has sounds from NASCAR races and King Richard describing what it's like to drive those legendary Mopars. It came with a 26-page color booklet showing behind-the-scene photos at Petty enterprises, at the track, and around the Petty home. Also shown are the Petty staff, a centerspread of the No. 43 Superbird at speed, Petty statistics, and some promo shots of the '71 'Cuda, Duster 340, and road Runner. This copy is still in its original cellophane.
Sox & Martin released "The Drags" in 1971. It features sounds of Top Fuel, Top Gas, Funny Car, Fuel Altered, and Prostock, and a full side with the late Steve Evans (the voice behind the "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" radio spots) interviewing Buddy and Ronnie. Inside the gatefold jacket is a killer color photo of the Prostock 'Cuda in tire-melting action. This one is fairly rare and pricey.
Mopar's Vintage Vinyl Records
Racing Sounds
The photos and stories of drag racing's early days are in old magazines. The sounds were captured on vinyl. Massachusetts-based Fleetwood, a leader in recording races, captured the sounds of Al Eckstrand piloting the Ramcharges Dodge.
Audio Fidelity released sounds of the '64 Winternationals in a high-end package with a heavy vinyl disc, lots of photos, and a gatefold jacket. You can hear the dominant Chryslers in action, winning super Stock-A in glorious detail. Their recordings were made with high-end equipment, e.g., German tube condenser microphones and high-speed tape recorders. Microphones were setup at the 60-foot mark and run in stereo to capture the feel of the cars launching and coming at you.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Soundtracks
Soundtrack albums from movies that featured Mopars, like these from the '83 movie Christine and the ever-popular Vanishing Point, feature musical compilations and lots of stills from the movies.The Vanishing Point album is a gatefold with a huge photo of our man Kowalski and his Challenger inside.Chrysler's '65 Announcement show record played up the new Plymouth, Chrysler, and Imperial models. Dodge apparently had its own separate show. It's common for the record to become separated from its original jacket, as this one has. As with cars, completeness and condition have a big impact on value.
Dodge rounded up lots of sports stars as celebrity endorsers, including NFL quarterback Fran Tarkenton, golfing legend Lee Trevino, and entertainers Joe Garagiola and Don Knotts. All contributed to this record announcing the '70 Dodge lineup. The record, a 7-inch 33, is pressed in red vinyl, and the jacket features vivid period art. This one is on the rare side and can cost well over $100.Dealer Premiums
Chrysler signed Italian heart-throb Sergio Franchi to croon the theme song of its new-for-'76 Plymouth Volare. Motor Trend called the Volare its Car of the Year, but that didn't fix what ailed it. The record on the right is on a generic label and appears to have been a handout. The one on the left also appears to be a handout, but is on the RCA label and was sponsored by the Atlanta area Chrysler Plymouth dealers.Mopar Commercials On Vinyl
When you heard a radio commercial for a Chrysler product back in the '60s, this is what the radio station was playing. These records, usually one-sided, were produced by the ad agency and distributed to radio stations for play during a specific time. The 7-inch 33 (right) has four 50-second spots for the '70 Challenger, Charger, Monaco, and General. Ten seconds at the end are left open for an announcer to read about local dealers' locations. The red LP is background music for dealers to produce their own spots. These were typically independently produced.Large dealers produced their own spots. This record, from Bergeron Plymouth Chrysler in New Orleans, is a Christmastime '71 release with a comedy bit from Cajun comic Trosclair on the A-side and six spots on the B-side. Mr. Norm's did a mid-'60s record as a promo that is rare today.Dealer Training
Mopar produced a steady stream of dealer training kits that included filmstrips, printed booklets, and a soundtrack record. Some were to acquaint salesmen with the cars they were selling. Others, like these two, were to educate service personnel about the latest changes and upgrades, e.g., bugger exhaust valves, low-restriction exhaust systems, and revised settings for the Carter AFB for the '67 440 Magnum/Super Commando.
Hurst Golden 8 Grand
In 1964, Hurst released "Hurst Takes You To The '64 Nationals," a deluxe album recorded at the NHRA Indy Nationals. Typical of Hurst, gold colors are used extensively, and the record is among the best produced and packaged of its type. George Hurst himself gives the introduction, and Jon Lundberg narrates and interviews Don Garlits, NHRA founder and President Wally Parks, and then-Hot Rod Publisher Ray Brock to set the scene.Even the paper sleeve is printed with pictures of the meet and full race results. The historic sounds of the dominant Mopars are throughout this record, as Hemis ruled the upper ranks. This was to be first in a series of eight records called the Hurst Golden 8 Grand, but even veteran collectors have seen only this one and a road racing record from Watkins Glen. The small 7-inch 33 (right) is an off-the scale rare promo for the series.

An imprisoned sex offender who made an unusual request — to modify his prison sentence to include physical castration at the expense of the state — did not receive his wish.
In his hand-written motion, Lester Leroy Williams, 35, gave no explanation for his castration request.
"This court having considered defendant's motion is of the opinion that it has no jurisdiction and therefore declines to take any action," wrote Circuit Judge Hale Stancil in his order this week.
"I never heard of it happening before," Chief Assistant State Attorney Ric Ridgway said of the motion. Ridgway has been with the State Attorney's Office for 35 years.
In 2008, Williams pleaded no contest to one count of second-degree felony sexual battery and was sentenced to a decade in prison followed by 4½ years of sex offender probation.
Williams wrote the motion from the Union Correctional Institution in Raiford, where he is serving sentences for a variety of cases, with an expected release date of March 2020.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- October 1st is fast approaching and the local healthcare exchanges are about to take effect as part of the Affordable Care Act.
So what does this mean for you? We have a local expert who breaks down the different programs in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
George Washington University's Professor Leighton Ku says if you already have a plan, nothing will change for you.
Ku says, "If you already have health insurance from your job, if you are getting Medicare, if you are getting Medicaid already nothing has changed."
But for those without health insurance, a ton of options await you as the marketplaces open up across the region.
Ku says, "What the new exchanges will have is a wide array of private insurance plans."
These plans are referred to as the "metal tiers", they range from bronze, silver, gold, and platinum plans from each provider.
"If you select the bronze plan, your monthly premium will be lower but everytime you go to the doctor or get medications, you're gonna have to pay a little more out of pocket," adds Ku.
As your monthly cost goes up, the cost of doctor visits and medications drop, with the platinum plans having the highest premiums.
For those who never had insurance, the choices can be complicated. Help will vary depending on where you live. Maryland and the District opted to run their own health insurance.
Ku says,"They arranged to have a larger number of people there on-board to help assist."
Virginia decided to have the federal government run their insurance on behalf of the state. So in the Commonwealth, there will be fewer government-run programs available for assistance.
Ku says, "There's a non-profit organizaion called 'Enroll America' who decided it's willing to donate some resources to help with some of the outreach."
Health insurance coverage is not going to start until January 1st, but don't wait until December, or your coverage may not start at the beginning of the New Year.
Medicaid expansion will also vary from state to state, and this will affect your chances for reduced healthcare costs.
Ku says, "DC has already expanded it's Medicaid program, Maryland is going to expand its Medicaid program, Virginia is not."

My BES stops syncing since the last three weeks suddenly.
When I look in BAS under manage users, I can see that some users "last contact date" is up to date, but I also see that many other users "last contact date" is NOT up to date.

Whether it's your first board or your fifteenth, it can be hard to find a decent board you can afford when you have bills to pay, and it's even harder if you have size 12 feet. Forum kept those things in mind when making the Recon Wide Snowboard. It features a playful ChillyDog with Pop profile that's fun for anyone from beginners to OGs to ride.
- ChillyDog with Pop features continuous rocker with a soft middle section and stiffer pop zones outside the bindings so you can load up big ollies
- Biax Glass provides a forgiving and playful flex
- Popular Core uses poplar laminates for a light, flexible, and forgiving feel
- Twin-Like shape gives you the freestyle feel of a true twin, but with improved float and control on the rest of the mountain
- Stiffer tail gives you more power and float in powder
- FreeBase Extruded Base absorbs wax well and is easily repaired
- Wide waist width prevents toe drag for riders with bigger feet
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Get first year board
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I decided to give snowboarding a try last season and went ahead a got my self a set up, this board turned out to be a great beginners board. I don't have a lot of experience to go on but I can tell you that I can't wait to get out on my Recon again this year. Good buy!
Decent beginner to intermediate board
At first impression the board seemed extremely stiff especially for a rocker. After riding it for a week I've notice that while on the stiffer side, it actually has a decent flex, adequate for nose/tail presses and just locking on to rails. torsional flex is about a 5. This board seems like a fairly sturdy board but I noticed that the top sheet doesn't seem to be the best quality. It started peeling up on a corner after I had barely tapped it against a brick wall while carrying my board. The tap was so tiny that I had no idea it would have had the effect that it did on the sidewall and top sheet. the board is comfortable while riding and I was able to initiate heel and toeside turns with ease. The rocker profile to this board didn't go unnoticed while turning and traveling at faster speeds. It does get squirrely at high speeds and feels really unstable, but if buttering is your thing then you will have no problem on this board. I would say this board is best used by beginners or even intermediates on a budget who want a solid all mountain board with a playful and forgiving feel. The rocker design will keep the nose up in powder and also allow a playful feel while ground tricking or pressing on rails, and also leaves some room to progress for beginners. IMO the edges on this board were quite dull when I got mine so I gave it a nice edge before ever taking it out. All in all solid board, could be better but for the price point this board is a good value.

Question #1 Ultrasound can be a reliable indicator, but really is only as good as the tech doing it. The most reliable indicator is to have the same tech do it every time. Amniotic fluid level normally increases until 28 to 32 weeks then the level usually stays constant until 37 to 40 weeks when the level begins to decline.
Question #2 Amniotic fluid level can be modified by dietary NaCl through maternal water retention which increases maternal plasma volume. NaCl influences water and electrolyte balance during pregnancy (water retention). Differences in dietary NaCl are accompanied by large differences in the daily patterns of maternal urine sodium, urine sodium/potassium ratios, water intake, and urine volume (water retention) and that then increases the maternal plasma volume thereby increasing uteroplacental blood flow. But excessive sodium intake can cause problems for the mom.
Question #3 Certified nurse midwives are held accountable for their patient's pregnancy outcomes. Poor pregnancy outcomes have been associated with an amniotic fluid volume of 5 or less as it can indicate poor placental perfusion. Your midwife counseled you within her licensure. Perhaps the outcome would have been the same if you had followed their advice to drink more water. Her advice was right on as H2O intake is the biggest contributor to fluid volume. While you feel you drank plenty of water the recommended fluid intake in pregnancy is 3L/day. That is a lot of water. Oral hydration increases the maternal plasma volume thereby increasing uteroplacental blood flow. This in turn influences the amount of amniotic fluid as mom and babe as are essentially a closed unit :<)
Love and laughter, Maureen
Restricted sodium intake can cause problems also. Restricted sodium intake can interfere with adequate maternal blood volume increase. Recommended amounts are 1.5 to 2.3 g/day.
Sounds to me like you corrected the problem yourself and went on to have the birth experience you desired. What an empowered woman you are. By the way; your baby is beautiful.
Listen to your Mommy gut and get your second opinions...I am so glad you listened to yourself. Not all midwives are the same...

Staff Report
Published Feb. 20, 2013
Spartanburg-based Exopack Holding Corp. said Tuesday that Jack Knott is returning as CEO of the company to replace Christian Ragot, who was on the job about six months.
Ragot joined the company as CEO in February 2012 but departed for undisclosed reasons in August, according to a separation notice Exopack filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Knott previously served as CEO of Exopack from October 2005 to September 2011, leading the company through a series of acquisitions. Exopack, an affiliated portfolio company of the private equity firm Sun Capital Partners, is a global manufacturer of flexible packaging and coating products.
"I have a deep affinity for Exopack and for the packaging industry. While I have enjoyed my time as a managing director of Sun Capital Partners, I could not pass up the opportunity to get back into the operations side with this great company and to work with its senior team," Knott said in a news release. "Exopack is an important portfolio company of Sun Capital, which has a sizeable number of packaging company holdings."
The company also named Mike Alger its new CFO. He is a member of Exopack's board of directors and chairman of its audit committee. Alger, currently a group CFO at Sun Capital, has more than 32 years of senior finance and operations management experience in a variety of companies, and has worked closely with Knott over the past six years.
Both appointments are effective March 1. At that time, interim CFO Duane Owens will return to his position as the company's treasurer.

Strong Results In Difficult Economic Times
June 29, 2012
Despite difficult economic conditions, 2011 goes down as a successful year in the history of the Katadyn Group. Due to the strength of the Swiss Franc, sales for the group sank by 4.4 percent despite sales increases in local currencies. However, thanks to targeted measures to increase productivity and to optimise material sourcing, operating profits reached 17 percent or nearly the same level as the previous year.
Among regional wholly owned subsidiaries, Katadyn North America Inc. in particular recorded an impressive growth of approximately 28 percent in local currency. The main driver for the growth in the North American market was online business, which has been able to reach customer audiences that earlier were not accessible. Notably among them are the Survival Preparedness Groups that actively work to prepare for their general self-sufficiency in the case of emergencies, both social and political. The demand for emergency stockpiling of food and products has also increased strongly in Central Europe.
The new business arena for industrial water treatment using UV light has developed positively, and the company expects further growth. This area has already contributed strongly to the group's positive financial results.
Forecast for 2012
The Katadyn Group has begun the 2012 FY strongly, with positive signs in all markets. Strong demand for Katadyn water filters, as well as for Trek'n Eat meals and Emergency Food packs continues. Additional sales volume is placing high demands on company logistics with detailed planning and flexibility needed as usual. The new building for company headquarters under construction in Kemptthal near Zürich will be ready to move in as of Fall 2012. The modern production facility there is an investment in the future of The Katadyn Group and will help cover increased demands.
With higher product demand, the new headquarters in Kemptthal as well as overall continually improved manufacturing, The Katadyn Group will be able to move forward optimistically even in light of economic difficulties. Katadyn is convinced it is well-positioned for strategic success and that it will also continue to show positive gains in the coming years.

Aristoteles is an Eratosthenian aged (3.1 billion to 1.1 billion years old) crater located in the Northeast Quadrant of the Moon. At 53 km, it is very close to the size of it's younger brother Copernicus at 56 km, however, it lacks an extensive set of rays, a discriminating factor for younger Copernician (1.1 billion years to present) aged craters. The glacis around Aristoteles is arrayed with radial lineations of ejecta. These extend into the surrounding terrain for over a hundred kilometers from the craters center. On the southwest flank there appeared to be areas where melt had pooled. Little 31 kilometer Mitchell on Aristoteles' eastern slope is the older of the two, an Imbrium aged crater (between 3.65 and 3.2 billion years old). It seemed surprising to me that it had survived the Aristoteles impact.

Well, then I decided that instead of running everything off of an extension cord, I might as well run electrical out to the the building since we'll have a swimming pool in the backyard in a few years and I can spend the money now and run a good-sized service that I can tap into later for the pool. In my county, if you're building a structure that has electrical, you need the whole structure permitted. But I figured since I was adding electrical to an existing structure that I'd be OK just to get the permit for the electrical.
So, I took my line diagrams and applications in, got my permit, went home, dug the trench, laid down the conduit, called in my inspection for the trench, the inspector comes out, and he asks, "is the building permitted?" I explained the sequence of events and he tells me he needs to check with the office.
Sure enough, he calls back that afternoon and says, "ya, you need the permit." Apparently I can run a panel attached to a pole right beside the observatory, but as soon as I run a permanent wire inside, the whole structure needs a permit. Doesn't matter how long the structure has been on the property. And doesn't matter if what they need to inspect is not even visible (like footings).
I then ask him if he can foresee any issues with the existing structure given I used an established design and over-engineered everything else myself. And, of course, he identifies the roll-off roof as something he has no experience with and would have the most contention with -- i.e. I need an engineering analysis done.
So, now my $100 electrical permit is going to cost another $100 for the building plus the fee of a structural engineer. And my first response from the engineer is "the design is very convoluted and how much money did I have in it for an engineering fee?" He's estimating the engineering is going to cost $1000.
At this point, I'm going to pay whatever engineering is required because I've already sunk about $15k into the construction and almost $2000 into the electrical alone.
The annoying part is that I purposely designed the building to be fairly small (it has a warming room) to accommodate the 120 sq.ft. non-permitted building requirement. Had I known running a wire inside would require the full analysis, I would have made it at least 160 sq.ft. But now it's too late to increase the size.
So, hopefully, this information will be helpful to someone else down the road.
Once it is done, I'll post pictures here.

Air cargo shippers get reprieve from EU on emissions
November 19, 2012 - LM Editorial
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) welcomed the announcement by the European Commissioner for Climate Action suspending the inclusion of international aviation in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS).
"Commissioner Connie Hedegaard's announcement that she has 'stopped the clock' on the imposition of the EU ETS on flights to and from non-EU countries represents a significant step in the right direction and creates an opportunity for the international community," said Tony Tyler, IATA's Director General and CEO.
He added that the Commission's "pragmatic decision" clearly recognizes the progress that has been made towards a global solution for managing aviation's carbon emissions by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The details of how the pause in the application of the EU ETS will be administered at a technical level remain to be clarified, and the proposal still needs to go through the co-decision process with the EU States and Parliament. Nonetheless, Commissioner Hedegaard has made it clear that the EU wishes to "create the space" for the ICAO process to succeed.
"The flexibility shown by the European Commission demonstrates that the ICAO process is working, and we look forward to seeing all parties working together to present positive proposals to the ICAO Assembly in September 2013," said Tyler.
Brandon Fried, executive director of the Air Forwarders Association, told LM that his board members were "relieved by the relaxed position for the time being.
"And U.S. legislation forbidding adherence to the requirement is on it's way to the White House," he said. "Still, the battle is not over since the EU may not agree with the ICAO awaited solution outcome."

The 26th Annual North Carolina Seafood Festival is in its second day, and crowds have shown no sign of slowing down.
There were a number of events for those on hand to attend, in addition to venders and delicious food available.
There's a chefs tent for the curious kitchen cook to get a better idea of how some of Eastern Carolina's finest seafood is made.
Those in the market for a new boat had plenty of slick rides to look at, just a short trolley ride to the port.
Miss North Carolina, Arlie Honeycutt, also got in on one of the more storied festival games, the Flounder Fling.
"Well, I've never flung a flounder before but I know that several Miss North Carolina's who have come before me, have flung the flounder. So, I was very honored to have the opportunity to fling the first flounder of the season," said Honeycutt.
The North Carolina Seafood Festival continues until Sunday night.
Previous Story:
The North Carolina Seafood Festival's 1st Day for the 26th annual event was a success with wonderful food and entertainment from when the gates opened at noon until late into the evening.
If you are planning what to do Saturday, the gates at 10:00 a.m. and close at 11:00 p.m. Saturday promises to be a day full off excitement with fireworks at 9 p.m.
Before the gates even open, the Twin Bridges 8K Road Race
starts in Beaufort at 8:00 am and ends at the Atlantic Beach Causeway. The Pier Fishing Tournament at Bogue Island Fishing Pier at Emerald Isle and Oceana Fishing Pier at Atlantic Beach runs 8:00 am – 3:00pm with prizes available. You can win a free T-shirt and gift card to Amos Mosquitoes at the Flounder Fling on Shepard Street between 7th & 8th every hour from noon to 5:00 p.m. The Clam Jam Stage will feature live music from 11:00 a.m. through the late evening with the last band taking the stage at 8:00 p.m.
Make sure to visit the WITN tent to say hello to our news anchors and reporters. We'll have live reports Saturday for the Sunrise show and on WITN News at 6 and 11 p.m. You can click on the link below for specific events and times.
More than 150,000 people are expected to descend on the Morehead City waterfront this weekend for the North Carolina Seafood Festival.
The festival runs through 5:00 p.m. Sunday.
If you've been down before you probably know your way around, but if this is the first time there's some new technology on the market for festival goers.
Break out the smart phones and follow the festival. Tell people where you are and what you're doing on Twitter this year with the hashtag: "@ncseafoodfestiv." Plus, there's an app for that! From your i-phone or android you can navigate through the festival from vendors to fireworks. You can track when your favorite restaurants are taking over the kitchen in the chef's tent and send yourself a reminder half an hour before they begin. Plus, keep track of when the artists you want to see are taking the stage and if they're delayed. No matter the wait- Art Gill says one band is sure to bring out a crowd.
"Gloriana is going to be the big draw, and SwampdaWamp's close behind them, but Gloriana is a national act. We're very privileged to get them.They're looking forward to being here," said Gill.
Previous Story
Friday the gates will be open for the 26th annual North Carolina Seafood Festival. There's plenty to eat, and also plenty to do.
There is a fishing tournament at 2 local piers and of course the Flounder Fling. The fishing tournament spans Saturday and Sunday off both the Oceana and Bogue Inlet piers. It's a tournament for all ages with prizes. The Flounder Fling is Friday - an event that has been a tradition for all 25 festivals so far and continues to be a crowd pleaser.
"We see a big draw. We see people come back each year, to line up for the event. It's a lot of fun. We have people line up and the first three people that get two out of three in the pan win prizes. We have t-shirts and gift certificates. It's just a lot of fun." said festival board member Greg Rice.
Festival board member
Last year WITN's Heather King was the first to fling the flounder and of course came through on the traditional kiss of the fish.
The North Carolina Seafood Festival is fun for the whole family, but also very beneficial for the east.
People from across the state and beyond stream into Morehead City to enjoy the food, fireworks and fun of the seafood festival.
While the festival means more traffic, it also means a big economic boost to the local economy.
There is no admission fee for the festival but it will cost patrons a few bucks to ride the rides or enjoy some fresh local seafood. The mayor of Morehead City says the money it costs for vendors to set up is sent right back to the community.
WITN is a proud sponsor of the NCSF. The 26th annual festival takes place Friday-Saturday in Morehead City.
The 26th annual North Carolina Seafood Festival kicks off Friday October 5th in Morehead City.
All this week, we'll be gearing up for the coastal celebration and making sure you know whats available to see, do, and eat this year.
Looking ahead to Sunday, we'll see the 15th blessing of the fleet. It honors and remembers fishermen lost at sea. Local fishermen will bring their boats to the state port to line up in a processional. The blessing of the fleet is a non-denominational ceremony set for Sunday morning. Its a time to remember the family, friends, and crew members.

Donor Profile: Monte and Katherine Gibbs
AMES, Iowa - Monte and Katherine Gibbs are well known in the Ames community and many people are familiar with Gibbs Plumbing. The Gibbs are long time fans of Iowa State Athletics and are season ticket holders for football, men's basketball and women's basketball.
The Gibbs believe education is extremely important, not only to the one receiving it, but to the community and nation as well. For this reason, the Gibbs donate to Iowa State University through the Cyclone Club and continue to renew season tickets.
"It's a good investment for everyone," said Katherine Gibbs.
For years, Monte and Katherine have attended football and basketball games, whether in Ames or at other locations requiring a bit more travel.
"The peak of our Cyclone experiences came in 2000 when we traveled to Kemper Arena in Kansas City," said Katherine Gibbs. It was there the Gibbs watched both the men's and women's teams compete in the Big 12 basketball tournaments and walk away with championship trophies.
Part of what draws the Gibbs to Iowa State Athletics is the event atmosphere. They love the energy and spirit of the ISU students, as well as the camaraderie of the other fans who share their love of Cyclone sports.
"When you hear the announcer say 'Cyclone Nation,' you feel like you're part of a big group of enthusiastic people," said Katherine Gibbs.
As members of the Cyclone Club, Monte and Katherine Gibbs are two of many who comprise Iowa State's most important athletics support organization. Donations to the Cyclone Club fund student-athlete scholarships and are the backbone of funding the future of Iowa State's athletic program.

On the first full weekend of June every year the Bellingham Highland Games Association holds it's annual Scottish Highland Games at Hovander Homestead Park in beautiful Ferndale Washington.
With a free Friday Night Ceiligh (Kay-lee) featuring the Blessing of the Games and the Ale where we tap our Firkin for the first time (see below on firkin), live music, and Scottish Idol over by the Ale Garden we get it started early. The night begins around 6pm and continues until close with the famous Flaming Saltaire!
Robert Burns born January, 25 1759 and is considered Scotland's favourite son. A poet and musician Burns is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. So much so Burns is the only person to be featured on Coca-Cola bottles or cans. Every year around January 25 Scottish Societies pause to honor Ol' Robbie with a dinner. For us, it is a semi formal affair with Dancing, Piping, Music and good food.
There are literally hundreds of poems and songs he wrote including:
All over the world on Hogmanay (Scottish New Year's Eve) we join together and sing Auld Lang Syne ("For Old Time Sake")
One of the more famous of Burns' work is Tam O' Shanter. An epic poem which tells of a man who stayed too long in a pub and on his way home witnessed disturbing visions
Burns' poem to an old sausage dish eaten at Burns Dinner outside of Scotland and is a staple in many homes there through the year. A delicious treat piping hot and a wonderful poem celebrating it!
A traditional Scottish tune Burns wanted to preserve for all time as he did at the end of his life with many traditional tunes and poems. Like the lines of the poem showing that love does not lessen with the passage of time, neither does the love of Scotland for her Favorite Son.
Join us for our Robert Burns Dinner wont you? See the Highland and Irish dancers up close, the Pipe Band playing right at your table, enjoy great food and make great friends!
A kirkin (or kirking) comes from the Scottish Gaelic work "kirk" which translates to "church". So our Kirkin is a Scottish "blessing" and celebration of the firkin as well as the games.
A firkin is a unit of measurement of ale or wine being about 1/4 a barrel or roughly 9 gallons (34 liters). It also refers to the small wooden cask (or keg) in which said elixir is held and tapped directly.
Our firkin is a special Private batch of Boundary Bay's spectacular Highland Reserve Scotch Ale. This batch is placed into firkins once used to age Scotch, Rye ad/or Bourbon and is allowed to cask condition for several weeks untouched or disturbed by human hands making a smoother more robust Ale. These firkins are made of charred oak and this lends a deeper richer oaked caramelization to the Ale.
Friday evening at our free Ceilidh (Kay-Lee), Flaming Saltaire and talent show we bring out the Firkin on an "Ark", parading the deliciousness around the field until we rest it for tapping. The blessing is given and then the Chieftain of the Games drives a spigot into the Firkin so we may serve it to the masses. It is then served through the evening. Whatever might be left in that firkin and in the remaining firkins are then served the remaining two days of event filled Highland Games until we run them dry.
Since the Firkins are done in a very small batch taking extra time and effort the Highland Games limits the consumption. You have to want it to get it. To that end we offer a special Collectors Edition Limited Run Commemorative "Firkin Mug" for sale. Only those who bear a Firkin mug can buy and drink from the Firkin. Of course we will have Boundary's beautiful Highland Reserve Scotch Ale in its spectacular non firkin'd form for everyone to enjoy and Highland Games glassware for sale as well. Cheers and See you at the Games!
The Members and Friends of the Bellingham Highland Games are proud to participate in the Bellingham St. Patrick's Day Parade each year! We get together in our kilts and our green and march for fun and a wonderful cause! We all end up at Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro for some entertainment, food and of course, great beers!
Rain or shine we are out there showing our Scottish off, supporting our fellow Celtic peoples, goofing around and reminding people that the Scottish Highland Games are just around the corner!
(from Bellingham St. Patrick's Day Parade's Facebook Page)
Environmental protection and sustainability are two important goals of the all-volunteer parade committee. The Bellingham St. Patrick's Day Parade is working toward being truly "green" so we encourage creative designs for human and/or green-powered entries. While green is the goal, vehicles are not prohibited. We encourage creative use of alternative sources of energy. Walk or take the bus downtown for parade day. Bike to the parade...or better yet, bike IN the parade! Decorate your float with reclaimed, recycled, reusable materials. Assemble your parade day costume with green gear from Bellingham's many thrift stores! This day is about celebrating all the ways we can be GREEN!
Bellingham's St. Patrick's Day parade is a great chance to connect with our community! The parade is in honor of the Bellingham Police and Fire Departments, but it's also a chance to green up our community and celebrate all the great businesses, groups, schools and nonprofits that make this community what it is. Join us for this community wide event and help us celebrate all the ways we can make Bellingham greener!

|Grilled Mushrooms taste fantastic with just about anything!
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites, and these Super Easy Grilled Mushrooms would be perfect to accompany most anything you're cooking on the grill this weekend!)
This is one of those recipes that's so ridiculously easy to make, so delicious, and so healthy, that you'll wonder why you shouldn't make it at least once a week. A recipe couldn't get much easier than this one with only two ingredients. It does help a lot to have a pan like the one below, which looks like a small wok with holes and sits on the top of the grill. If you don't have one of these pans, you might be able to cook this right on the grill if your grill slats are not too wide. If you're still looking for a Father's Day gift, a grill pan like this one might be a perfect idea!
Super Easy Grilled Mushrooms
(Makes 2-3 servings)
1 pound large mushrooms
1/4 cup Italian salad dressing, not low fat or fat free (I used Newman's Own Original Recipe Olive Oil and Vinegar Dressing. For South Beach Diet be sure to choose a dressing with not more than 2 grams of sugar per serving.)
This recipe is a perfect side dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet, especially if you're cooking something else on the grill like Grilled Chicken Sanpete Kabobs or Grilled Mahi Mahi with Lemon and Capers. This recipe is very low in carbs, and with approved dressing it would also be Paleo.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

The youngest of three children, Marlon Brando, Jr. was born on April 3, 1924 in Omaha, NE to parents Marlon, Sr., a pesticide salesman who had changed his last name from Brandeaux, and Dorothy, a local actress. While Brando was still young, the family moved to Illinois - initially, to the town of Evanston, and later to Libertyville. It was a tumultuous time for the Brando clan, marked by Dorothy's alcoholism and her brief separation from Marlon, Sr. A precocious child from a young age, Brando - a poor student who had already been held back a year - was expelled from Libertyville High School after one particularly egregious prank.

No two camping trips are ever the same, which is why Mountain Hardwear gives you several different ways to pitch the Drifter 3 DP 3-Person 3-Season Tent. In warm, dry conditions you can use the minimalist Fastpitch fly-and-footprint setup; when a comet shower is scheduled, lie under the mesh-topped canopy alone; and of course, anytime you need reliable, comfortable backcountry shelter in a range of conditions, bring along the whole kit and enjoy.
- Tough polyester canopy and fly construction (68D and 75D, respectively) for many seasons of tough use
- Tough, lightweight DAC Pressfit poles
- Dual doors and vestibules for easy entry and exit and plenty of room to dry out wet gear
- Interior space of 43 square feet and nearly four feet of head clearance allow you and your friends to relax comfortably in the tent when the weather's bad
- Unique DryPitch feature allows you to set up the fly first so you can erect the tent under the protection of the fly when it's raining
- Footprint included so you can set up a superlight shelter with just the fly, footprint and poles
- Reflective guy-out loops, starter point and zipper pulls for easy set-up at night
- Gear loft (included) and mesh storage pockets provides convenient storage

Great tent, true to standards
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Had this tent for about 5 years now, and it has not failed me!! Love love love it. Been in hail storms, heavy rain, and heat and it has held up wonderfully! Nothing has been broken, snapped, or bent although I do take real good care of my things. I do not use any extra waterproofing besides the rain fly so that says a lot! Fits 2 comfortably, unless you dont mind snuggling! Pretty darn lightweight, and sturdy! SUPER easy to pitch
Light Weight Rain Proof Backpacking tent
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Before buying this tent I had done extensive reviews of its performance in wet weather conditions. The reviews were all excellent and all of them said that it kept the water out.
On the 10th of December 2014, I had gone for a 4 day backpacking trip. It rained cats & dogs from day one and thanks to this tent, we were all toasty dry. It kept our gear dry as well. It is the best excellent light weight backpacking tent that I have ever used.
Easiest tent!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This could be the easiest tent to set up I've ever had. Two poles and easy to find and figure out clips. Also nice to have the double entry doors. The overhead gear storage area is key for easy to find gear you may need in the middle of the night. The two person version is awesome as well, and the three person is just nice to have the extra room for two pacos and dogs that love to take up all the room.
First tent!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is my first tent purchase and have yet to take it out in nature. I practiced pitching the tent in my living room and it was easy to do while watching instructional YouTube videos. Best features so far: headroom inside tent and double entry doors. Sleeping 3 people seems like it will be a tight fit, but it will be plenty of space for 2 people + gear. I'm excited to take the tent outside!
Quick and Easy
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Just got this tent and the first time I used it I had to set it up in the rain in the dark. No problems. It is quick to set up and as previous comments mention, super waterproof. Love the size of the tent, comfortable for two and easy to fit three. There is a great gear loft that comes with the tent as well as the footprint. Highly recommend this tent as a backpacking tent as well as one that's great for car camping. Two for one. Love it.
North GA rainstorm while car camping
Not a drop inside the tent in 8 hours of steady to heavy rain
Great all-around tent
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have the older, non dry-pitch "DP" version of this tent, and it's the same except for the dry-pitch option.
I've used the tent several times, and it's really lived up to my expectations. I bought it as a dual purpose tent, I wanted it to be light enough for backpacking, but durable and easy enough to set up to just take car camping as well. It also needed to be relatively inexpensive, as I'm a grad student and can't afford several tents for different applications.
First, it's super easy to set up, just like most other two-pole tents. The clips work well, the poles are good quality, strong, and light, and I wouldn't think twice to sleep in it without staking it out. It's easy to set up. The main tent is pretty light too, it's the fly that adds the majority of the weight, so if you're sure you're going to be in dry weather, you could ditch the fly for backpacking and save a good amount of weight. The fly is easy to set up and stake out, no problems there, and the vestibule the fly creates are nice for leaving wet or muddy shoes, they stay dry.
Second, it's amazingly waterproof. I'm used to older waterproofing tech in tents from 10 or so years ago, and it seems that tent manufacturers have really improved on it. I recently camped in north Georgia, it rained from about 3AM until 11AM when I took the tent down, and it rained hard. Nothing soaked through the fly, I was dry all night, and I even set the tent up without a ground cloth or tarp, and no water came through the floor. I'm extremely impressed with how dry I have stayed in large amounts of rain.
It's a great tent, no problems whatsoever, although it's fairly basic. I'm pleased with it, and would definitely purchase again.
Nice tent so far
I haven't used it in the backcountry yet but I set it up and it looks awesome, this 3 person tent is perfect for 2 people comfterably. I love the fact that you can just set up the vestibule and the poles without the actual tent so its cool to just bring that with you on hikes for emergencies without having to bring the whole tent, can't wait to use this!
Hard Snow Storm Survival!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Just a photo of a pretty decent snow storm this baby endured!
Great Easy Tent!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used this thing is some really harsh weather and some really mild weather and it held up through it all! I will say that the 3 person is more like a 2 person plus gear so 3 people would be pretty tight in there but it is solid for 2 and great to split weight too! Easy set up and tear down, the stuff sack it comes with is loose so a different one would compact it even better. All around great 3 season!

Waterloo, IL (KSDK) - Prosecutors in Chris Coleman's triple murder trial continued try to establish two main themes Friday -- that his marriage to Sheri Coleman was on the rocks, and that his six figure salary job with Joyce Meyer Ministries would be jeopardized if he sought a divorce.
In the afternoon, the jury heard from Joyce Meyer and her son Dan who is the CEO of Joyce Meyer Ministries via a videotaped testimony.
Joyce Meyer testified that looking back after the murders she felt some of Coleman's behavior was odd leading up to the time when his family was killed.
She said Coleman called in sick the day before the murders, and to the best she could recall that was the only time he'd ever missed work. She also recalled a time when Coleman requested to stay behind after a work trip to Florida with Meyer. He told her he wanted to visit a female friend of Sheri's.
Prosecutors tried to establish that anyone working for Joyce Meyer Ministries would be afraid of losing their job if they got divorced. But in the testimony Meyer said the policy was a little more nuanced than that.
"There is no such policy regarding divorce," said attorney Mike King with Joyce Meyer Ministries who added there is a policy regarding immorality, including adultery.
"As you heard Joyce say in her deposition on a case by case basis, depending on what the facts and circumstances were, certainly that could be grounds for termination," said King outside the Monroe County Courthouse.
In her testimony Meyer said it wasn't until after the murders that she became aware of the affair Coleman has since admitted to having with his wife's high school friend Tara Lintz.
But Meyer did say she knew the couple was in marriage counseling with a pastor on the staff of Joyce Meyer Ministries.
Meyer's son Dan testified that Sheri Coleman contacted him about the couple's marriage problems in the fall of 2008. Dan Meyer said he told his mother Joyce who suggested the counseling. She said Chris Coleman was agreeable with the idea and later reported to Dan that the marriage was improving.
Dan Meyer also testified that he became suspicious prior to know the couple was having trouble when he noticed an abnormally large bill from Coleman's company cell phone.
He said there was a number in Florida that Coleman called numerous times, including on overseas trips.
Dan Meyer said he called the number and hung up when heard a female voice on the other end of the line.
Meyer said when he confronted Chris Coleman about the calls Coleman told him it was a friend of Sheri's and he was calling to talk to her husband - helping him through marital issues.
Six friends of Sheri Coleman's testified that Sheri and Chris Coleman were having marital problems before Sheri and her two boys, Gavin and Garrett, were murdered.
They said Sheri expressed to them in phone conversations, emails and text messages that she was in a troubled marriage in late 2008 and that Chris wanted a divorce.
Meegan Turnbeaugh testified that Sheri sent her a text message that "Christopher had beat her."
The defense immediately objected and the judge told the jury to disregard that statement.
Another friend of Sheri's, Stephanie Jones, saved the text messages she received from Sheri on December 27, 2008. Sheri's text said, "Chris wants a divorce. He said me and my kids are in the way of his job."
Two friends who worked at Joyce Meyer Ministries said the ministry would have fired Chris if he was caught having an affair and that they knew of someone else that did get fired for having one.
Turnbeaugh said, "The policy is Chris would be terminated because of an adulterous affair."
The prosecution is trying to prove Coleman murdered his family because he wanted to be with his mistress and didn't think he could get a divorce and keep his job as a bodyguard for televangelist Joyce Meyer.
During the cross examination by the defense, the friends did say Sheri indicated to them during the spring of 2009 that she and Chris were in marriage counseling and things were improving.
Vanessa Riegeris, a neighbor of the Coleman's, testified that in the fall of 2008, Chris told her that he was thinking divorcing Sheri after the holidays.
"She spent too much money," Riegeris said Coleman told her about Sheri.
Then, Riegeris testified, "She did like to spend money."
Two crime scene investigators also took the stand on Friday morning. They showed a video of inside the house which showed the victims in their beds and the spray painted messages on the wall. They also showed the back basement window that was left open, which police believed may have been a point of entry for an intruder during the early stages of the investigation.
Also, pictures taken of Coleman's right arm were shown in court. He had an abrasion and some scratches.
The defense asked the crime scene investigators if any of the evidence collected at the scene implicated Chris Coleman in the crimes?
They said no, because they didn't analyze the evidence, just collected.

Practical Nursing / Vocational Nursing (PN/VN) is a career that provides you the chance to deliver care that can make a difference in people's lives. The PN/VN programs at Carrington College are an excellent way for compassionate, self-directed and responsible students to enter a field that can be challenging and personally fulfilling.
When you earn your Certificate of Achievement in Practical Nursing or your Associate of Science degree or Certificate of Achievement in Vocational Nursing you can develop the knowledge and skills needed to care for patients at an essential level, providing nursing care for patients who are experiencing common, well-defined health problems. Licensed practical nurses (LPNs)1, known as licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) in some states including California, work under the guidance of a registered nurse (RN) or a licensed physician. Practical / Vocational nurses can find employment in a wide range of healthcare settings, including clinics, doctors' offices, assisted living facilities and in the community providing home health care.
The curriculum we have developed for our PN and VN programs is designed to help you acquire a command of the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue an entry-level position as a licensed practical/vocational nurse. As a student, you can:
- Attend a combination of classroom instruction, laboratory practice and clinical training in area healthcare facilities
- Learn from passionate instructors with extensive nursing experience
- Receive preparation for taking the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN)
Nursing offers opportunities for compassionate individuals
If you are looking for a career that enables you to help physicians and care for patients, then practical/vocational nursing is a great choice. As a matter of fact, according to the ONET OnLine, employment of licensed practical / vocational nurses is expected to grow 22% between 2012 and 2022.2 Plus, you may be encouraged to learn that median annual wages of licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses were $41,540 in May 2012. The lowest 10% earned less than $30,970, and the highest 10% earned more than $57,360.2 For many though, practical/vocational nursing is just the beginning. Becoming an LPN/LVN is an important first step toward becoming an RN or pursuing any of a number of possible advanced degrees.
Professional success begins with a well-rounded education
Over the course of your program, the education you receive as a student of the Practical/Vocational Nursing program will help you build a solid base of knowledge and progressively challenge you with new concepts and skills.
Your time will be divided between classroom, laboratory and clinical assignments that can provide you valuable real-world experience. In addition to developing the skills you will need in your career, material covered may include nutrition, basic pharmacology, pediatrics, obstetrics, health data collection, and medical-surgical nursing, which focuses on the application of the nursing process. Once you have earned your Certificate of Achievement in Practical Nursing or your Certificate of Achievement or Associate of Science degree in Vocational Nursing, you should be prepared to provide basic bedside care to patients in a variety of clinical settings. You should also be able to demonstrate critical thinking skills and be competent in information management. The nursing responsibilities you should be able to demonstrate include:
- Assisting patients with eating, bathing, dressing and personal hygiene
- Measuring and recording vital signs
- Preparing and giving injections
- Administering medications
- Collecting samples for laboratory testing
- Dressing wounds
- Evaluating the needs of assisted living facility residents

S you think everyone's bills should go up another $2 a month for those channels?
They belong in a premium tier so those that want them can have them and pay for them themselves, IMHO. Makes no sense to force these channels at the rates they want on everyone. Overall rates are high enough without needing to pile on.
Ibooks.. mispoke a bit. On Dish it is either available for $7/month as an a la carte` pick, or included in the $10/month BB@Home which is similar to the HD Extra Pack that D* has.
And that is the way that D* should offer it imo.

- CBI raids SBI Dy MD Shyamal Acharya's home, seizes gold, FDs in Rs 400 cr loan caseSBI deputy MD Shyamal Acharya under CBI watch in Rs 400 cr loan scam a Rolex and an Omega?SBI's Dy MD Shyamal Acharya cash-for-loan scam probe report soonPanel report on SBI deputy MD likely by weekend
State Bank of India (SBI) has not found any procedural lapses in a Rs 75-crore loan sanctioned to Delhi-based Worlds Window Group (WWG) by the banks mid-corporate group, till recently headed by Shyamal Acharya. Late last month, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleged that Acharya, deputy managing director, had been bribed to clear the Rs 75 crore as part of a Rs 400-crore loan request.
The report of a two-member internal committee comprising SBIs two senior-most managing directors Hemant Contractor and A Krishnakumar has not found any relaxations in the eligibility criterion while approving the loan. As part of the enquiry, the committee examined only the WWG loan.
We looked at the credit appraisal processes and everything appears to be as per regulations, SBI chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya told FE.
The report finds that no procedures were skipped in sanctioning the loan and concludes that the borrower was, in fact, eligible, said another senior official of the bank. FE could not independently verify the contents of the report which was submitted to the finance ministry on Friday.
While the investigation clears any doubts over the loan approval process, the bank did not comment on allegations of bribery against Acharya, who was asked to go on leave on the day the allegations surfaced. The CBI will look into those aspects, Bhattacharya said.
The CBI had last month filed a case against three people including Acharya, KK Kumra, who was an adviser at WWG, and Piyoosh Goyal, founder, WWG. According to CBI officials, Goyal sought a loan of Rs 400 crore from SBI. Kumra, who was also a former SBI official, in turn got in touch with Acharya, who allegedly influenced his juniors and got Rs 75 crore sanctioned to begin with. After the loan was cleared, Goyal is alleged to have paid Rs 25 lakh to Kumra as reward, and another Rs 15 lakh to give to Acharya. After Kumra got the Rs 15 lakh, he is alleged to have bought an Omega and a Rolex for Rs 7.75 lakh and handed them over to Acharya. Both watches were seized from Acharya's cabin by the CBI during a search operation and Kumra was arrested.
The CBI conducted simultaneous raids at various locations including offices and residences of Acharya, Kumra and Goyal. According to the CBI, Rs 7 lakh in cash was found in Acharya's residence, along with a locker key and several incriminating documents. Gold and jewellery worth Rs 67 lakh have been seized from the SBI DMD's residence as well as papers relating to various fixed deposits. However, the investigative agency is yet to arrest Acharya in connection with this case.

Kansas City, KS (Sports Network) - Sporting Kansas City will make its home
debut on Saturday when the club welcomes the winless Chicago Fire to Sporting
Kansas City opened the campaign with a road win at Philadelphia before falling
2-1 at Toronto FC last weekend.
The club was unable to overcome a sluggish first half that saw Sporting make
some critical mistakes, putting the team in a 2-0 hole that it was ultimately
unable to climb out from.
"They pushed the game and they made the most of their opportunities. We made a
big mistake early on to get them into the game that gave them some
confidence," said Sporting manager Peter Vermes. "Getting the second goal
early on put us behind the 8-ball pretty early. Two goals is a big deficit to
come back from. I thought they closed the half out well, they slowed the game
down and didn't give us much to get into the rhythm or anything."
One of the positives for Sporting from the match was the fact that Designated
Player Claudio Bieler scored for the second time in as many games, making the
loan spell of forward Kei Kamara with Norwich City much easier to take.
The defeat in Toronto also snapped a 13-game unbeaten streak in league play
dating back to last year for Sporting, but Vermes was encouraged by his team's
second-half display.
"The second half I thought our guys did a very good job of changing the pace
of the game and pushing the tempo a little bit," Vermes said. "We created
quite a few opportunities, maybe a little unlucky here or there, but at the
end of the day they did well in the first half we did well in the second
Chicago has started its season with back-to-back losses for only the second
time in club history, and much of the club's troubles can be linked to an
attack that has yet to produce a goal this season.
The Fire sustained a 1-0 defeat against Montreal last weekend after a heavy
4-0 setback at Los Angeles to open the season.
Fire head coach Frank Klopas will be worried that his team has yet to score,
but he also knows that the solution is quite simple.
"We've got to put our chances away," Klopas said. "I thought in the first half
we had some good looks. We have got to be better in the final third. It's
difficult when you create the opportunities but don't put them away. The game
sometimes is not fair because out of nothing, we gave up a goal. I think in
the run of play we got in some good spots, we just couldn't finish."
Another issue for the Fire is the injury absence of veteran defender Arne
Friedrich, who missed the first two games of the season and has now traveled
to Germany for treatment on his troublesome hamstring.

The Yonder Inn Hotel will offer 81 guest rooms on property located north of The Reserve at Jones Road at the intersection of the U.S. Highway 181 Bypass and FM 351.
Vilches said the company has not yet taken out a building permit but he believes builders would like to start on the project by the middle of this month.
Vilches said plans are to build a three-story facility with 50,865 square feet of floor space. The fact that the plans call for a three-story building could require the city's Board of Adjustment to approve a zoning ordinance variance.
That should be no problem, because the board granted a similar variance for the Hampton Inn on Hall Street.
The main concern in building a three-story facility is the ability of the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department to reach fires on the top floor of a three story facility.
That concern was solved when the city approved the purchase of the new, $1 million ladder truck.
Vilches said the $4.6 million hotel facility will have a pool, barbecue patio, a lounge with a bar and a breakfast area.
The property under consideration already is zoned for B-2 development, so there should be no need for a zone change at that location.

I know it's not a completely new question but I didn't see any resolution about this, here is my issue.
I have a shared calendar with my office where everyone in the office can see who in the office is on PTO.
I have a shared calendar with my team (spreaded over offices) where everyone in the team can see who in the team in on PTO
I have my personal calendar that display "free/busy" status when someone from the company wants to schedule a meeting with me.
At the moment I have to enter 3 times my PTO for each of those calendars. Seems to me that I would benefit from a feature where I can select multiple calendars for my entry.
Also to reduce the pain, I thought I could tell at least one of the 2 shared calendars to report that as free/busy so I don't have to enter anything in my personal calendar but then when anyone says he's on PTO I'm marked as being away...
Did I miss anything ?

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor Two local entities have been the lucky recipients of generosity bestowed through Monsanto and a Perkins County farmer. Robert Gloy of Grant was selected as a winner in America's Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. "Grow Communities" gives farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation and direct it to their favorite local nonprofit organizations—in this case Gloy selected the Grant Volunteer Fire Department and the Perkins County 4-H Foundation. Each received funds for their organization which were presented on Monday, March 4 by sales rep Brett Theiler of Ogallala and Gloy's seed lealer, Brent Thelander, of Grant. The usual amount was doubled to further support counties that have been declared disaster areas due to drought by the USDA. Thus, since Perkins County was declared a disaster area by the USDA, Gloy was awarded $5,000 to split between the two local entities.About the Program In 1,271 eligible counties in 39 states, farmers could sign up for the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite community nonprofit. This year, the Monsanto Fund will invest over $5 million in rural America through Grow Communities, which includes double donations for counties suffering from the historic drought. America's Farmers Grow Communities is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund to highlight the important contributions farmers make every day to society and to help them positively impact their communities. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund's overall effort to support rural America. For a complete list of Grow Communities winners and more program information, please visit growcommunities.com.
