ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Passengers with one of America's largest airlines, Delta, will now be able to track the progress of their baggage online in real time, just like a FedEx or DHL delivery.
Passengers just need to go to Delta's baggage tracking website, enter their name and baggage tracking number, and they can get a list of the baggage's movements, right down to "baggage is in claim area 5", "baggage is loaded onto aircraft", etc.
Delta says it will be able to notify passengers directly by SMS if their bags did not make it onto their flight, or if it has been delivered to a location other than the standard baggage claim area.
The move is designed to give transparency to the baggage handling process, so passengers aren't completely in the dark when a bag is delayed or goes missing.
It's also an increasingly relevant tool, as most passengers now carry smartphones and can easily log on to a website at the airport. However, passengers can also check on the status of baggage via self-service kiosks at Delta's top 18 US airports.
The website will also be able to tell passengers which baggage carousel their luggage is being loaded onto for pickup.
Although online bag tracking might sound like a "nice to have" rather than an essential service from an airline, it would have been useful for the Qantas passengers whose bags were left behind deliberately in Dallas recently, and were only advised of this unfortunate fact once they arrived in Australia.
Qantas is the most likely Australian airline to introduce a similar system, due to its recent move to electronic wireless bag tags using radio frequency ID chip technology. The technology should (in theory) allow bags to be scanned by tollbooth-style gateways in the baggage handling system rather than a human having to scan each bag's barcode.
Delta says that while any baggage delay is something it tries to avoid, if a passenger knows that their bag isn't on the flight with them, it will save them time in not having to wait at a baggage carousel watching the endless procession of other people's suitcases going round and round.
The airline now accepts missing luggage reports online through the bag tracking website, too, where previously passengers could only make reports by fax.

Late 16th century (originally denoting a game played with a large inflated leather ball): from French ballon or Italian ballone 'large ball'.
The balloon that carries passengers in a basket is older than the one used as a children's toy. In 1782 the brothers Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier built a large balloon from linen and paper and successfully lifted a number of animals, and the following year people, whereas the toy version did not appear until the middle of the next century. The word was adopted from French or Italian in the late 16th century, and originally referred to a large inflatable leather ball used in a game of the same name. It goes back to the same root as ball.
The phrase when the balloon goes up, 'when the action or trouble begins', has been used in Britain since the 1920s. It may refer to the release of a balloon to mark the beginning of a race. By contrast, to go down like a lead balloon is American in origin: lead balloon appears as a term meaning 'a failure, a flop' in a comic strip of 1924 in which a man who had been sold dud shares discovered they were 'about to go up as fast as a lead balloon'.

News 12 at First at Five / Wednesday, Sep. 5, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- The Kroger on Whiskey Road in Aiken is the latest scene of a flimflam scam.
"It was a well-planned scheme. I mean, they were successful in what they did," said Lt. Karl Odenthal with the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
An incident report says three suspects entered the store last Friday around 7 p.m. One of them went up to the cashier to purchase a bottle of hot sauce and a package of toilet paper. The other two distracted shoppers nearby.
"The exchange of money ended up intentionally short-changing the business of money,"Odenthal said.
He says it was a well-rehearsed scam. The man handed the cashier a large bill to pay for the items, and when he got his change back, he said the amount was wrong. He got his own bill back and slipped it into his pocket while the cashier recounted the change. When she verified that the amount of change was correct, she gave him the bills and change, but she forgot that she'd given him the large bill back, too.
"You know, there's the pressure of the line building behind them, and I think that's one of their methods that they use -- when there's a lot of pressure," Odenthal said.
He says this isn't the first time it's happened or even the first time this year at this Kroger. In the report, the cashier says she believes the same three subjects were responsible the time before.
"Oh, it happens on a regular basis. It does. It's not as frequent here in Aiken, but it does happen regularly," Odenthal said.
That's why Aiken Public Safety needs the public's help.
"Don't confront the subjects. We don't know if they're armed or not. In this particular case, we're going to be reviewing video from the store. There's always a lot of little things that can help us make a case," he said.

Should churches take moral stands on burning political issues like war, immigration and abortion?
Colonial clergy certainly mixed religious conviction with a political agenda by demanding freedom from taxation. From the pulpit on Jan. 21, 1776, the Rev. Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg dramatized his stand against King George III. He voiced revolutionary ardor and strengthened his rejection of British authority symbolized by the clothes he wore.
Muhlenberg chose as his sermonic text Ecclesiastes 3:7, which teaches "there is a time to pray and a time to preach."
"But the time for me to preach has passed away," Muhlenberg thundered, "and there is a time to fight, and that time has now come."
Descending high pulpit steps, this pastor ripped open his clerical robe. Underneath, worshippers saw their pastor wore the uniform of a colonel in the 8th Virginia Regiment of the Continental Army. George Washington had personally recruited Muhlenberg, who merged patriotic ardor with Christian devotion.
Drums beat alarms for war outside the church. The music alerted parishioners to their duty to nation and God. Many kissed wives goodbye, bid farewell to children and marched down the sanctuary aisle toward the drums, where they enlisted in the Continental Army. Less than an hour passed before 162 men in the congregation had exchanged their Sunday garb for the fawn and blue colors of the patriots' army.
Parishioners and their pastor used religious conviction's accent to spur political rebellion. Spiritual concerns favoring freedom stood on a firm political base. Religious sentiment and political rallying cries against King George III were of one voice.
Colonial clergy pushed a political freedom agenda from pulpits. Evangelical historian Mark Noll, in his book "One Nation under God? Christian Faith and Political Action in America," relates how Pastor Muhlenberg's heroic sermon and sartorial make-over wasn't unusual in the run-up to the Revolutionary War.
"Sermons encouraging a defense of political liberty, however, were by no means restricted to New England," writes Noll. "Presbyterians in New Jersey and the South preached a similar message, as did representatives of the Baptists and other smaller denominations. Even many clergy of the Church of England, contradicting the official allegiance of their denomination, denounced the grasp of Parliament."
Who today sounds like a patriot? Who believes it's wrong to reduce faith to private conviction?
First lady Michelle Obama, speaking June 28 to an African Methodist Episcopal Church conference, showed how voter registration is a spiritual matter and a political necessity.
"Our faith journey," she testified, "isn't just about showing up on Sunday. It's about what we do Monday through Saturday as well. ... Jesus didn't limit his ministry to the four walls of the church. He was out there fighting injustice and speaking truth to power every single day."
The first lady then clinched her argument for introducing political issues into church corridors from pulpits.
"And to anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better - no place better," she hammered home her conviction, merging things of God with things of government. "Because ultimately, these are not just political issues. They are moral issues."
Revolutionary pulpit firebrands and the first lady are of the same mind. When morality needs improvement in public policy, churches are meeting places to discover how reformation is best achieved. A church at its best is a rallying center where information is disseminated, biblical teaching informs, inquirers question and energy is pointed toward the common good.
The first lady is conversant with scripture. She's no novice when it comes to biblical knowledge. Michelle Obama is a realist who knows that when churches tackle hot-button topics, protests sometimes erupt among sincere Christians on opposite sides of the political aisle.
She asks, isn't this the biblical model? The church is not a club for the like-minded. It is a ring where sparring matches are held. She painted dramatic imagery of controversy in the Bible, out of which opportunities replaced obstacles.
"If a young shepherd could defeat a giant (David vs. Goliath), if a man could lead a band of former slaves against the most powerful city in the land until the walls came tumbling down (Joshua at Jericho), if a simple fisherman could become the rock upon which Christ built his church (Peter)," the First Lady declared, "then surely, we can do our part to be more active citizens."
Of course, when the church works on public policy, it mustn't assume it's on God's side. Should Christians ask whether God is on their side? The church presses on to solve problems in the public square, despite controversy within its ranks. Here's patriotic spirit at work worth

Below is a email from FNC's Catherine Herridge:
Adding to [FNC's Ed Henry's **] summary of the administration's view —
Brennan has critics on the Hill and within the IC — a few points shared over the weekend from a former senior intelligence official.
– Brennan has been noticeably "missing in action" on Benghazi and he showed — what many believed to be disrespect and contempt — for congress during the 2010 investigation of AbdulMutullab and the failed underwear bomb plot.
Brennan's comments in support of agency's EIT program and Obama administration's aggressive use of drones (especially Brennan's briefings to reporters on administration strategy/justification) expected to provoke opposition from left.
As one critic noted – Brennan did not "build bridges" at CIA — and it is an open question whether he would be warmly welcomed.
Bottom line — Benghazi controversy, EIT program, drones loom large in confirmation hearings.

LABOUR swept the board in the Dinnington and Maltby-area wards in the Rotherham Council elections.
There were no shock results in Anston and Woodsetts, Dinnington, Holderness, Maltby or Wales.
Voters in all five wards returned their existing Labour councillors for another term.
Controversially the BNP came second in Maltby and third in Holderness.
In some wards the turn-out was double that of previous local elections, boosted by the general election.
The biggest majority of 1,657 went to Gerald Smith, of Holderness, who won 2,891 votes.
Mr Smith said: "It's terrific. I didn't expect a majority as big as this."
"I am as fully committed to Holderness now as I was when I was first elected 31 years ago."
"We had a big turn-out and as we went round the polling stations we saw people queueing. The biggest concerns people had when we were campaigning were the economy and potholes."
He didn't appear overly concerned about the BNP vote and said: "It's the first time we've had a BNP candidate and he's a local lad so I thought he'd do quite well."
Amy Rushforth, daughter of Rother Valley MP Kevin Barron, who was himself celebrating re-election, was returned with 1,992 votes – a majority of 1,182.
Second was BNP candidate Michael Burke who had been hoping to follow the success of fellow party member Will Blair who was elected to the council two years ago.
Mr Burke said: "I'm pleased with the result because it's the first time I've run and I would run again."
"I've been getting a good reaction from people and have been asked for more leaflets. People everywhere are concerned about immigration."
Jacquie Falvey was returned in Dinnington with a majority of 1,129 votes and in Wales Jennifer Whysall beat her Conservative rival by 483 votes.
But it was a closer run contest in Anston and Woodsetts where 223 votes separated Labour's Jo Burton and nearest rival Conservative Simon Edmundson.
Jo said: "It was a tough fight. It was very close, they fought a good campaign and so did we."
"I want to do justice now to the confidence people have shown in me."
Kevin Barron's parliamentary rival, Conservative Lynda Donaldson, regained her council seat in the Hellaby ward with 2,254 votes – a majority of 284.
And she warned that Mr Barron's reduced majority was a sign of things to come.
After being declared the winner in Hellaby she said: "It's a good result backing up the strong level we took of the vote in the Rother Valley and we have clearly demonstrated that change is coming. We will continue to build on our six years in Hellaby."

Veteran quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, making his second start for injured Jake Locker, completed 25-of-44 passes for 290-yards and one touchdown but drew on all his experience with the game on the line.
After the Steelers Shaun Suisham missed on what would have been a career-best 54-yard field goal, Hasselbeck went to work with 49 seconds on the clock and marched the Titans 34-yards, well inside Bironas's range for a shot at the winning kick.
The victory was just the second of the season for the Titans (2-4) while the injury-ravaged Steelers remained winless on the road in falling to 2-3.
"Everyone believed in what we were doing," 37-year-old Hasselbeck, the second oldest quarterback in the National Football League this season, told reporters.
"We knew we had plays there to make, we just had to go do it and not make excuses. It wasn't about the Steelers, they are a good team, it was just about us.
"We're struggling, we weren't doing our assignments, we had mental errors, we were losing the turnover battle. We just needed to fix it.
"We were really sloppy, we still made mistakes but it feels really good to come away with the win."
After trading short field goals off their opening drives, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hooked up with Mike Wallace on an 82-yard touchdown pass to put the Steelers 10-3 ahead.
Roethlisberger completed 24-of-40 passes for 363-yards to move past Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw as the Steelers all-time passing yardage leader.
But the rest of the half belonged to the Titans, Bironas connecting on a 38-yard field goal before Jamie Harper turned a blocked punt into Tennessee's first rushing touchdown of the season, bulling his way into the endzone from the one-yard-line.
The Titans capped off an impressive opening half, converting a Roethlisberger interception into another 47-yard Bironas field goal to send the home side into the intermission 16-10 up.
Pittsburgh opened the second half by scoring on a Suisham 28-yard field goal then followed up with a with an 80-yard drive capped by a one-yard plunge by Baron Batch.
Suisham equaled a career-best with 52-yard field goal to push the Steelers ahead 23-16 early in the fourth quarter before the Titans offence finally clicked, Hasselbeck finding Kenny Britt with a five-yard touchdown strike to level the contest.
"We worked to get this one," said Britt, who had four catches for 62-yards. "We got confidence in our kicker and I knew he was going to pull it out."

|Effect of the Distal C162S Mutation on the Energetics of Drug Binding to p38 alpha MAP Kinase
|January 15, 2008
|The binding constant, Kb, and the binding enthalpy (DbHo) of the inhibitor drugs, SB 203580, SKF 86002, and p38 INH.1 binding to two splice variants of p38a MAP kinase and their C162S mutants in 5mM HEPES buffer at pH =7.4 were determined from isothermal titration calorimetry measurements from 25 oC to 35 oC. The splice variants are the result of one of two adjacent exons of the same length spliced out of either the main isoform, p38a isoform 2, or the other isoform, p38a isoform 1. The binding reactions are all totally enthalpically-driven with the binding affinities to in the order of p38 INH.1 >> SB 203580 > SKF 86002 and ranging from 1.30 X 1014 M-1 to 1.2+0.2 X 107 M-1 with the corresponding binding enthalpies ranging from -84+3 kJ mol-1 to -54+3 kJ mol-1 at 25 oC. Differences in the binding affinities between the 2 isoforms and their mutants become more apparent with the higher affinity binding drug inhibitors, p38 INH.1 and SB 203580 and at 30 oC and 35 oC. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) scans exhibited single unfolding transitions for each all four proteins, for p38a isoform 2 complexed with SKF 86002, and for the C162S mutants bound to the drug inhibitors. However, two transitions were observed for p38a isoform 1 bound to SB 203580 and for p38a isoform 2 bound to SB 203580 and to p38 INH.1. The thermodynamic differences in the binding affinities and the conformational stabilities of the p38a isoforms can be described by an equilibrium between an open conformation where there is less interaction between the amino and carboxyl terminal domains of the protein and a closed conformation favored by the C162S mutation.

In the General Introduction and Conclusion to our book, Paris 1961: Algerians, state terror, and memory, we argue that the time has come to move beyond the current phase of political battle, the fixed-position trench warfare, over the events of '17 October' for a more open history that can begin to address some wider and more fruitful questions. At the core of the polemic during the last decade has been the almost obsessive 'battle of numbers' that has raged between the maximalist Jean-Luc Einaudi (200–300+ deaths at the hands of the police) and the minimalist Jean-Paul Brunet (at most 30–50 deaths, but only 13 conclusively 'proven'). In replying to Jean-Paul Brunet, we shall discuss two substantive issues: the nature of the evidence and its interpretation, and inevitably the question of the number of fatalities.

I agree mostly my love. Well, apart from your positive comments regarding Christina, Justin and Beyonce, that is......don't tell god your plans...
I watched it for about two seconds before I realised just why I didn't have it on in the first place.I Forgot To Change It Before
The show was RIGGED,And besides who is Dave Matthews?.London Bye Ta-Ta...
Did Bowie attend any of the related events in any capacity? Only BNet would say, unless photos popped up somewhere.BFP
"And I like listening to her about as much as I like looking at her."I do have to agree...she is not a very attractive woman...ESPECIALLY when she sings! LOLYou see things and say, "Why?" But I dream things that never were and say, "Why not?"
Did anyone else notice that apparently Foo Fighters + Chick Corea = Phish? Seriously, Grohl even had the crusty beard going for him.When I activate my screwface gimme spaceScrewface means let me breathe
Thanks for the info. Now I know I'm not going crazy. I didn't get to see the red-carpet stuff. Joan Rivers makes me ill anyway.King Henry V: Canst thou love me? Princess Katherine: I cannot tell. King Henry V: Can any of your neighbors tell, Kate? I'll ask them.
I was barely watching at that point, but did focus in when I realized it was Foo Fighters playing. Mellow man... I have never sat through an entire Grammy show before, but did so this time (VCR at the ready) to check out Prince, White Stripes, EWF/Outkast/RRFB/CLINTON and Outkast via Andre. I was not disappointed. White Stripes appeared to change course spontaineously. I swear he called the next song to her, anyone else catch that? The funk nation fest was worth the wait. So was "Hey Ya" with marching band. I was thrilled the satellite compression apprently was hosed for Celine. I had most of the other performances muted.Don't know who won what, don't care. It seems the Grammy winners are determined by sales, eventhough they don't cop to that. I hadn't realized they'd been going just over 40 years, as in they began right around the time Elvis was bringing in the dough with The Beatles soon to follow. That Beatles tribute was horrid and could Sting just please go away now???"You've gotta laugh when you can't cry no more." - DOT 3, "Palo Alto's finest voodoo funk band"
The Stripes are just background noise (STATIC)... Their performance sucked major ass.I was laughing so hard at Celine's "issue"... That is what got me.... __________________________________________My care bear told me to go to hell.
As far as i know?,NO he did'nt attend any related events,Which duznt really surprize me!,He's above all that awards stuff now,Don't ya think?London Bye Ta-Ta...

CITIGROUP INHERITANCE FRAUD: DISAPPEARED JOURNALIST.ve your story a title
04th – Feb – 2014
I am very worried about the below mentioned journalist whom I had a fruitful and courageous discussion with. I want to report that the journalist in question might be missing, intimidated or even assassinated. All means of communication with the poor journalist are literally non existence. This is a very serious and worrisome development. The Journalist community should begin searching for one of their own just to be sure that all is well and rosy. Please read our correspondence below:
"From: Thomas Bekel (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Dear Mohammed,
My name is Thomas Bekel, I am journalist and freelancer, who works for SPIEGEL ONLINE from Deutschland.
I have read your article at CNN about Citigroup's money laundering issues and financial corruption. It could be great material for our edition and I would love to get more details from you on it and to arrange sophisticated story about it.
My questions below:
1) Have you ever faced with discrimination from one of the US banks before? Was Citi the first bank which abused you?
2) Did you have own money in this bank? Did they freeze it or what exactly did they do against you?
3) How is your situation now? Was it solved? Did you received any official response from any officials?
4) What are the most famous banks in your country? Is Citi the biggest one? How about your national banks?
It would be really great and helpful, if you can provide me any answers on them, as our readers are really interested in such kinds of stories, especially in Middle East / African countries, as it makes sense, it will be highly appreciated.
Have a wonderful day!

Dear Thomas,
Thank you very much for your concern. Your help is most appreciated. You will definitely have a fraudulent story at Citigroup to report on. I will try and answer your questions to the best of my ability after which I will send you subsequent e-mails with attached documents detailing my struggle to unravel the "Inheritance, Bank and Company Fraud" unleashed on my family by Citigroup.
(1) As the only operating American bank in Nigeria, Citigroup is the only US bank that abused me and disrespectfully disregarded the request of the Central Bank Governor of Nigeria for reconciliation on the inheritance fraud at Citigroup at Headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria.
(2) After my late father's sudden death I was required to open an account with Citigroup along with 27 members of my family. My late father had 3 wives, 10 male children and 15 female children. My late father had an oil/chemical business partnership with Kurita GMBH, a Japanese chemical company with a base in Germany. Citigroup was his preferred banker for his export business up to the time of his death.
As a believing and practising Muslim, the Sharia law of Inheritance Sharing was used in dividing my late father's estate to his family. All his monies and assets were supposed to be gathered and presented to his family and the Sharia court of the state. Our eldest brother, Suleiman Ibrahim Bello was trusted with the task - a trust that would be abused more so at Citigroup. In fraudulently co-opting with Suleiman, Citigroup Nigeria and Citigroup London hide and stole over 90% of my late father's estate at their bank, while declaring less than 10% of his estate to his family and Sharia court of Inheritance Sharing.
(3) My situation is not dire but OK. I feed, I have a roof on my head, I have clothing and I pray. I make money from rents of declared properties of my inheritance. Notwithstanding, the brutal inheritance theft at Citigroup must be exposed before more victims are devoured.
As I am writing you, our hidden and stolen inheritance at Citigroup continues to remain a mystery. Citigroup has no intention of resolving the situation as it exposes the fraudulent theft in their bank.
I received 4 responses from Citigroup, two from Citigroup Nigeria, the remaining two from Citigroup London. The responses were negative, arrogant, cowardly boastful, cowardly ruthless and racist. If I were an American or European I would never had been humiliated by Citigroup for demanding my family's inheritance.
(4) The five top national/indigenous commercial banks in Nigeria are:- Guaranty trust Bank, First Bank of Nigeria, United Bank for Africa, Zenith Bank and Eco Bank. There are 15 indigenous commercial banks in total. Citigroup is the biggest foreign bank followed by Standard Charted Bank. Citigroup also serves as a corresponding bank to most of the indigenous banks in Nigeria.
To further give a more detailed elaborative view of the Inheritance fraud at Citigroup, I will be sending you subsequent e-mails with attached documents.
Enjoy the holiday season!

I sure hope this courageous, daring and adventurous journalist is safe. I would love to hear from him and be assured he is well and kicking. I hope he is not a casualty of his honourable and prestigious work.

There are two things that most people remember about Suresh Mullick, the legendary creative head of Ogilvy & Mather who passed away in 2003: one, that he looked amazingly like Woody Allen, and two, that music was hugely important for him. In an e-book tribute put together by his ex-colleagues , friends and family, there are many memories not just of his large collection of Indian and Western classical music, but also how Mullick was always making music in different ways.
Sometimes this could be in incongruous places, like board meetings or even client presentations, when the bored Mullick would start to hum, and even sing out loud. More regularly, Piyush Pandey, O&M's current executive chairman, whose creative potential was first recognised and nurtured by Mullick , remembers how "you heard his song in the office before you saw him. From the lift came a caricatured voice singing: "Hawkins ki seeti baji... chane ki daal, moong ke daal..."

Captain of the ship, driver of the short bus, leader of the pack… Living proof that you don't need a High School diploma to succeed in radio… all you need is drive, determination, and a REALLY twisted outlook on life. Lesbians, Harleys, Midget Porn… this is Johnny's world… welcome to it.
Jake the Phone Snake
the prodigal son returned to the show after 5 years in Hollywood following the dream that so many others chase… that of working part-time in a hardware store. He spent his days in the California sun auditioning, hooking for pocket change and appearing in "Anchorman" for 2 minutes… but now he's back to answer the phones, book the guests, report the traffic… and hook for pocket change. The more things change, the more they stay the same. He's Jake Jake the Phone Snake.

The Fall Fashion Edit: Urban Jungle | Fall 1 2014
Posted by IGIGI on August 14, 2014
Sixties inspiration, Leopard Prints and The A-Line Dress, The Fall 2014 runways were filled with some of our favorite things here at IGIGI – and the same is true for our Fall 1 2014 Collection Urban Jungle! We pulled inspiration fresh from the runway and we were so excited to release this collection! Here are some of the highlights from the collection that we think any fashionista will be longing to try!
1. Leopard Prints
This bold and exotic print is having a comeback and we couldn't be happier! We've mixed in this trend, in some easily to wear ways this collection. From our Marley Top to our updated Francesca Dress in Mocha Leopard! Not sure you're ready to go all the way with this trend? Try breaking this print up with our Mindy Top! You can add easily layers to downplay the print, while still being on trend!
2. The A-Line Dress
The A-Line dress was a staple on the runways this past fall. It's hard to believe this staple goes in and out of style, but this season designers embraced this easy to wear shape. We have so many great A-Line options in our Urban Jungle collection, it's hard to choose! With our Dominique Wrap Dress in 4 color ways, we've got you covered. Go with classic black or try a graphic print like our Crimson City!
3. 60's Mod Styling
Vintage styling was a huge inspiration for designers this fall and we have a nod to this with our mod inspired Morgan Dress! The bold polka dot print is reminiscent of a pop inspired 60's print and transitions easily from day to night. Style it like we featured it in our catalog – with metallic pumps and minimal jewelry for an easy cocktail look!
4. The carry-all bag
An essential in every woman's closet, the oversized tote is a must have this season! We've received a fresh new selection of Linea Pelle bags and we have something that will work for everyone. The Alex Zip Tote, seen above, is a classic tote with a modern update of side zippers that add edge. The Hunter Hobo is made of an ultra soft washed leather that is sure to become your new favorite go-to bag for your work week!

PARKERSBURG - Valkomna (welcome) was the first word Rachel Johnson and her husband, Larry, were greeted by when they found Rachel's Swedish pen pal standing in a long line of people at the airport in Stockholm, Sweden.
Rachel Johnson never knew just how much she had in common with her Girl Scouts pen pal, but when she and her husband decided to visit her this past July she discovered a lot more similarities than she expected.
"I never knew she did cross stitching," Rachel said of her Swedish friend, Iris Bodin. "I made her a bookmark and now we both know we do it."

Larry Johnson, left, and Rachel Johnson visited Sweden before going to Germany on a trip for Lions International in July.
But needle-point work wasn't the only thing the two writing buddies had in common. At first, the pair would write letters back-and-forth about Elvis or who the cute guys were those days, and Rachel would get clippings from Bodin on what teen heartthrob was in the magazines in the late 1950s.
She was the age of her Swedish friend's younger sister, but that didn't stop the pair from gossiping and corresponding for the last 53 years.
When the Johnsons learned they would be going to Germany with Lions International, they quickly decided to fly into Stockholm and visit with the now 70-year-old woman Rachel gossiped with years ago.
The Johnsons are both members of the Lions Club of Parkersburg, and Larry is a past district governor and Lions International director.
Bodin had a sign welcoming the couple to Sweden and took them on a 30-minute train ride from the capital city to her quaint apartment full of English-language psychology books.
"She took us to her apartment; she doesn't have a car or drive," Rachel said. "We walked around a bit and she fed us lunch."
The Swedish woman offered a meal the Johnsons were mostly prone to have when lunch time rolled around - with the exception of the moose meat.
"Someone in her family had been hunting and gave her the (thinly sliced) moose meat," Rachel said. "It tasted a lot like beef, just had a grassy flavor."
It was the first time the two Americans had ever tried that type of meat, but they said they enjoyed it. Dinner time wasn't as adventurous when Bodin served the couple chicken.
The pair said they were surprised at how well their friend spoke English.
"A lot better than we could speak Swedish," Larry Johnson commented.
After their meals, the couple strolled through the capital city and even saw a 17th century ship on display in the Vasa Museum. The couple said it was unbelievable the amount of detail constructed on 400-year-old, 64-gun warship that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.
"We agreed the next time she was coming over (to the United States) we would go see her," Rachel said of her friend. "When I told her we could come visit her this time it was three years ago and she said 'three years isn't too long to wait.'"

Nintendo is dropping the details on Tyrunt and Amaura, a pair of fossil-based creatures in its upcoming Pokémon X and Y games.
In the upcoming Pokémon games (due out Oct. 12 for 3DS), you can pick between different fossils. The "Sail Fossil" will enable players to unlock the brachiosaurus-like Amaura. Meanwhile, by choosing the "Jaw Fossil," players can instead get the T-rex-like Tyrunt.
Nintendo first teased this new pair of monsters in a video a few weeks ago, and now it's detailing their abilities and evolutions.
Tyrunt and Tyrantrum
Tyrunt looks like a miniature tyrannosaurus rex. It is currently extinct and originally existed in a previous age over 100 million years before the events of Pokémon X and Y. It is a Rock- and Dragon-type creature, and its ability is Strong Jaw. Fitting his name, Tyrunt is only around 3-feet tall and weighs about 57 pounds.
Tyrunt evolves into Tyrantrum, which is much larger at 8-feet tall and 595 pounds.
Amaura and Aurorus
Amaura is a long-necked, brachiosaurus-style Pokémon. Like Tyrunt, it is 100-million-years old. It is a Rock- and Ice-type with the Refrigerate ability. Also like Tyrunt, it is pretty scrawny at around 4-feet tall and only 55 pounds.
Amaura evolves into Aurorus, which stretches out to 8-feet, 10-inches tall and weighs 496 pounds.
Nintendo of America is consistently amazed and humbled by the passion and loyalty of our fans. Our hope is that this Page can be a place where that excitement can live, thrive and be shared.... All Nintendo news »

CAMBRIA – The walking path is paved, the playground is up and running, and new baseball diamonds and soccer fields beckon for spring as finishing touches on the western half of Cambria Town Park were recently completed.
Now town officials are preparing to closely monitor the expenses of operating the park in the next few years before deciding how to approach its completion.
With public backing, the town borrowed $200,000 earlier this year to complete the work on the park's western half, which had been slowly but steadily progressing over the past five years. This year's accomplishments included:
• Near completion of a second baseball diamond – with markings to expand it from 60 feet to 90 feet, as needed.
• Two soccer fields.
• A paved walking trail about one mile in length.
• Installation of playground equipment.
• A basketball court.
• Installation of three picnic shelters.
"We're committed to staying within a budget," said Town Supervisor Wright H. Ellis. "We had accumulated some money in a reserve fund to pay down the interest on the loan, so this is not affecting our tax rates. We wanted people to enjoy this park, so we laid out a budget for things that needed to be finished in order to complete the western half this year."
Plans for the town's first park grew from residents' interest when the town updated its master plan in 1997.
But George J. Bush said, "The need has been there for the past 40 years."
A former Town Board member who served on the board for more than two decades, Bush still heads the town's Recreation Committee and is overseeing the park's development.
"I started a baseball team when my son was 12, and he's 55 now," Bush recalled. "That team turned into three, which became six, and pretty soon we had our own league. It just kept growing. There was a lot more farming back then, but the community began getting more residential, and [Supervisor] Wright Ellis was very supportive of this idea of a park."
The town purchased a former 108-acre farmstead on Upper Mountain Road in 1999 with the intention of developing a park. The town procured an early $150,000 matching grant through the State Park Environmental Protection Fund, which was used primarily in establishing nature trails in the park's wetlands area. Ellis said early estimates of a $6 million price tag for the entire park are probably high.
"I'd say we may have spent $1 million so far – spread over the past several years – but we probably accomplished $3 million worth of work, with the help of town equipment and town employees' labor," said Ellis. "That initial $6 million estimated cost was based on contractual prices, but a lot of this work has been done in-house, and when we did have to contract out work, many local contractors charged less as a goodwill gesture.
"We've been spending money as we got it, so as not to get into debt or to overreach," Ellis said.
Early plans called for a "large building with bathrooms – that alone could be $1 million," Bush said of the $6 million estimate. "We planned for other roadways, more baseball diamonds and someday having lighting for the diamonds – all of that is very expensive."
"Quite a bit of the work has been done by town employees, so we've spent considerably less so far [than estimated]," Ellis said. "For example, we put in a water line about halfway down the length of the park, and a pond, which will help with irrigation of the fields. We hired someone to put the trench in, but the town employees did the rest of the work.
"We lease out 35 acres of the [undeveloped park] property to a local farmer to plant, so that it isn't overgrown with weeds and brush, and we'll continue to do that while we operate the park for the next two or three years to see what the operational costs might be, to cut grass, for example, and to maintain the ball diamonds," Ellis said.
"Our master plan is subject to revisions, because as you go along, ideas can change," he said.
Ellis said residents' reaction to the park has been "very, very positive. A lot of people are using the walking trail, and the [first] baseball diamond was used quite heavily this year. We expect the picnic shelters to get good use next year, and we hope to start an entry-level soccer program for the younger kids next year, because our soccer fields haven't gotten much use yet without a formal program."
Bush said he visits the park nearly every day and is gratified to see it being put to use by all ages.
"I see people exercising, riding their bikes or walking their dogs," he said. "I see young families on the playground ... it makes me feel good to see how far we've come. The park is shaping up rather well."
Bush said he also has enlisted the aid of area Boy Scouts looking to complete projects to attain the rank of Eagle Scout.
"We've had four projects completed so far – one Scout put in all of the markers on the Nature Trail; one built 20 birdhouses; one made two benches and put up markers on the walking trail; and another put in a memorial, where people could purchase trees and have placards placed near them," Bush said.
"We have two more Eagle Scout projects under way – one is building 12 picnic tables, including two for the handicapped," he added. "And the other one is Scout Ben Chatley's. He's building a Veterans Memorial in the oval of the walkway, with a lighted flag pole, sidewalks, benches and a boulder with a plaque. It's about a $5,000 project, and he still needs about $1,000 to complete it. He's reached out to area veterans groups for help. It's a very ambitious project.
"And I still have more ideas for boys looking to do Eagle Scout projects," Bush said.
"I like working with the Scouts. This way the town gets projects done, and the Scouts know they've done something for the town park, and, therefore, they have some ownership in the park.
"And the town employees take great pride in the work they do here – their kids will be using this park," Bush said. "And they will be involved in the maintenance forever. Once you build a park, you have to take care of it."

Jose Reyes energized the Mets with a leadoff walk, his major league-leading 29th steal and an RBI single. Teammate Carlos Beltran bruised his right knee in a first-inning collision with Giants first baseman Rich Aurilia, and was pulled.
Barry Bonds was steamed -- literally -- on a quiet night in which he went 0-for-3 and stayed at 746 career home runs. The Giants clubhouse was a bit muggy two hours before gametime, and he called for an attendant to turn on the air conditioning.
Hernandez (3-1) had his scoreless-inning streak stopped at a career-high 19 while sending the Giants to their fifth loss in six tries.
Randy Winn led off the game with a single, Omar Vizquel followed with a triple and Aurilia hit a sacrifice fly. That was about all the Giants managed against El Duque -- the only other runner they got against him was a walk to pitcher Matt Cain (2-5).
The victory was nearly a carbon copy of Hernandez's last outing, which came last week at Florida. Activated from the disabled list after a bout of bursitis in his right shoulder, he permitted a leadoff single and then retired the next 17 batters.
Hernandez struck out three and walked one. Featuring his usual assortment of pitches and deliveries, he also provided a little comic relief.
With a runner on first in the third inning, Hernandez fielded Winn's comebacker without realizing it was fouled off his foot. Hernandez instinctively whirled and fired to second -- with no one covering, the ball sailed into center field.
Joe Smith pitched the eighth and Billy Wagner finished the combined two-hitter with his 13th save.
The Mets' trio kept Bonds in the ballpark, though that's not so rare. He has 13 home runs in 419 career at-bats at Shea, by far his lowest rate at any stadium.
Down 2-0, Reyes and the Mets got going in a hurry. He drew a leadoff walk, swiped second and took third on a grounder.
Beltran hit a ground ball that second baseman Kevin Frandsen stopped with a dive to his left. His throw was wide and carried Aurilia across the bag, and Beltran clipped him.
Aurilia tumbled to the ground while Beltran stayed on his feet, and trainers from both teams came on the field. Each player stayed in the game, and Beltran scored from first on David Wright's tying, two-out double. Carlos Gomez replaced Beltran in center field to start the second.
Damion Easley doubled to begin the Mets second, Ben Johnson walked and Hernandez moved them along with a sacrifice. Reyes singled sharply for one run, and Endy Chavez got another home with a two-out bunt single.
Last month, Chavez pulled a similar trick in a bigger spot, with a two-out bunt single in the 12th inning beating Colorado.
Notes: Vizquel hit his first triple of the season. He had a career-high 10 last year. ... The Giants open a four-game series at Philadelphia on Friday night. ... Johnson made his first start for the Mets and later singled. ... Reyes also was caught stealing for the fifth time.

On Monday, The National Weather Service has declared a flood warning along the Chippewa River through the end of the week. As of noon on Monday, water levels were at 13.15 feet, with an estimated 14.3 feet to come on Thursday morning, based on the weather forecast on Monday.
"Any additional rains could cause river levels to rise even higher then currently," said Certified Floodplain Manager Angie Steinbach, Montevideo's community development director.
According to the National Weather Service, 14 feet is considered minor flooding, and 16 feet is considered flood stage waters.
Steinbach said that even in the minor flooding stage, at 14.3 feet, there is no real cause for concern. "At that level we should not be effected majorly," she said. "The new levees protect up to three feet over the 100 year flood level."
At the minor flood level, it is possible there could be some minor ground water and utility issues as a result. "There is a low chance. Each year our city crew is improving our protections," Steinbach said.
The city of Montevideo has two certified flood plain managers on staff. There are 62 in the state.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Ohio's Republican U.S. senator is demanding to know if any disciplinary action has been taken against IRS employees at the agency's Cincinnati office for targeting conservative groups.
Sen. Rob Portman spoke on the Senate floor in Washington on Thursday, condemning the IRS and saying that the first step in repairing the public's trust in the agency will begin with getting to the bottom of what happened.
Portman is calling on IRS Acting Commissioner Daniel Werfel to identify by name and title every employee in the Cincinnati office who targeted conservative groups and explain if and how they've been punished.
Portman also wants to know whether other employees are under review and who is directly responsible for evaluating their involvement.
Workers at the Cincinnati office have declined requests for comment.
