The agency said it was stashed among real credit cards in the wallet. The TSA did not identify the passenger or say what flight he or she was intending to board, or whether there was an arrest made.

BOGOTA — Authorities have identified remains found on a New York City beach ten years ago as belonging to a long-missing Bogota woman, NorthJersey.com reports.
Patricia Viola had been missing since 2001, when she disappeared from her borough home. The next year, police recovered a left foot, still covered by a shoe and sock, after it was found by a beachgoer in the Rockaway section of Queens.
Ten years later, authorities have successfully managed to link it to Viola using a national DNA database, The Record reported.
Since her disappearance, Viola's husband Jim has helped lead a crusade to reform the way police and other agencies treat missing persons reports.
"Patricia's Law", which was enacted in 2008, ensures that police may not reject any report, and requires that a DNA sample be collected from family after the person has been missing for 30 days.
The sample must then be placed in the National Crime Information System - the same index that helped authorities led to identify her remains.
Bogota police said no further information on Viola's case was available Tuesday night.

- One of the most misunderstood and controversial topics in Christianity is deliverance. It's so common these days to hear "born again believers" enrolling in classes of deliverance and breaking of altars and foundations.

- Theaster Gates warmed up to the podium, starting his talk in hushed tones and looking a tad weary, removing and reapplying his new glasses, wiping his face — a gesture he would repeat a few times throughout the evening.

In the service: Ryan Gallagher
September 17, 2013
Ryan Christopher Gallagher, a 2007 graduate of Nevada Union High School, was commissioned second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps on March 16, 2013, in a ceremony at the Grass Valley Veterans Hall.
Gallagher's officer's bars were pinned to his uniform by his grandmother, Ethel Gallagher of Glendale, Calif., and his mother, Susan Gallagher of Grass Valley.
Gallagher is currently training in Quantico, Va., at the officers' Basic School. Upon completion, he will transfer to Pensacola, Fla., and begin a two-year flight school program.
In 2012, he graduated from the University of Nevada and the USMC Officers' Candidate School.

The car, a 1988 Buick Park Avenue, was turning left from M-120 onto Old Orchard Lane when it was struck broadside by the fully loaded semi-tractor truck headed northeast, police said
"The car got caught up under the front end of the semi-tractor and was pushed several hundred feet north of the intersection," Muskegon County Undersheriff Dean Roesler said.
The crushed vehicle was pinned under the truck.
Firefighters from Dalton and Muskegon townships responded to the 11:22 p.m. crash. They freed the driver, 19-year-old Jonathan Neiger-Beckham, of 1762 Princess Lane, who was brought to the hospital in critical condition but was reported in serious condition this morning at Hackley Hospital.
Roesler said two of the teens died at the scene and a third died after being taken to a local hospital.
The victims were identified as Shawn David Huq, 16, also of 1762 Princess Lane; Aaron Lee Pham, 16, of 1844 E. Michillinda; and Terry Ripley, 19, 1780 Duchess Court.
Roesler said the teens may have been returning home from a party in the Twin Lake area.
This morning, Ripley's family said he had recently graduated from the adult education program offered through White Lake Area Community Education. The program serves Reeths-Puffer school district.
His mother, Carol Ripley, described her son as a fun-loving but conscientious young man.
He had musical aspirations, and dreamed of becoming a hip-hop music producer, said Melissa Lorenz, who said she was his stepmother.
Ripley and Lorenz said they had ordered their son some music equipment for Christmas.
"We're waiting for a present that he'll never get," said Lorenz.
The truck driver, 62-year-old Pete Anthony Faskey, of Alanson, said he was about 100 to 150 feet south of the intersection when the car "swerved over into the turn lane and made a turn right in front of him," Roesler said.
The traffic signal at the intersection was flashing yellow for north-south traffic and red for east-west vehicles, police said.
So far, investigators have identified two witnesses and are looking for a third. The two interviewed told police the car turned in front of the truck and that the truck driver did not have time to stop.
Roesler said investigators don't know for sure whether the teens were wearing seat belts.

Greg NelsonParticipant
Dude, thanks for starting it off this race, been swamped, nice title and comment Juan David. Personally, I like Monster, white can zero carb. It was great to see the MB total domination halted at Canada and you have to wonder when Vettel will get off the snide. Early picks are, Qualifying: Rosburg, Ham, Ric and Race is Ham, Vettel, Alonso. Gotta wonder what's going on at Red Bull, Riccardo finishes well most of the time, Vettel, not so much, anything that can go wrong, does, but yet is in fifth place, 80 points behind Rosburg, who has proven he's the tortoise/hare hybrid. With 12 races and 300 points left, can Vettel start finishing on top and average 6 1/2 points per race more than Nico? Does Red Bull start team orders in favor of Riccardo with only 19 more points? I wouldn't say no, but for either one, but unless something changes now, it's a two horse, oops, Bull race and with Hammy's rep, Nico is my favorite for the title.June 19, 2014 at 11:36 pm #29190

Slidell has its beautifully painted pelicans throughout the city. Now, Lacombe will have painted murals on exterior walls of certain area businesses and bridges.
The murals will depict various aspects of the local historical and cultural heritage, including the environment. They are part of a project that is a joint endeavor involving the Lacombe Heritage Center, the Lacombe Family Pharmacy, and the True Value Hardware of Lacombe. Paint and brushes for the project have been contributed by Lowe's.
By now, several residents have probably noticed one of the murals close to completion on the side of the pharmacy. It is being designed by Lacombe student/artists Tiffany Nesbit, manager of the project, and Gabriel Burkhamer, assistant manager, under the direction of Tom Aicklen, Coordinator of the Lacombe Heritage Center.
Other artists currently working on the project are Tyler Nesbit, Joy Nesbit, Simone Burkhamer, Spencer Shaw, Scott Cooper, and Sadie Briggs. Most of these students have taken part in art classes through Lakeshore and Fontainebleau high schools, and will be starting their freshman year at Southeastern Louisiana University and Delgado Community College, where they will be pursuing further study in art.
This project is part of the continued effort of the Heritage Center to promote the Art Will Make You Smart Program, a low-cost scholarship program available for all students in kindergarten through twelfth grades during the Summer Arts in Education Workshops.
"These programs include a variety of instructional workshops ranging from creative writing, social deportment, literary, music, and theater arts, to heritage education and entertainment," Aicklen said.
Aicklen explained that this mural project is a unique opportunity for our area youth to volunteer their time to make their mark in a lasting meaningful way, while providing them with a sense of pride and purpose in their community. "It will not only enhance, beautify, and improve our community, it should also attract more tourists, which can in turn become an economical boost for area businesses", said Aicklen.
Other artistically talented students are welcome to participate in the programs and workshops without charge. Therefore, additional funding and donations from local patrons, including materials and artistic stipends, are needed to complete the community enhancement mural projects.
Donations can be made inside the pharmacy. Parents who wish to learn more about how students may participate in Art Will Make You Smart Programs, please contact Arts Ambassador for the Lacombe Heritage Center, Mia Kaplan, via email at: email@example.com, or call 917.592.7330; or Tom Aicklen via email at email@example.com or call 985.882.2573. Ask about other summer Heritage Center programs, as well as and eco-science tours and workshops.

High Speed DSL Internet Access
In Verizon areas we can set you up with a "dry loop", a telephone line with no telephone service. You save $35 a month or more.
Standalone service is available in Verizon areas only.
ATT will not permit standalone service.
We generally don't require term contracts. Service is month to month.
You don't need a bundle or a telephone line to get DSL service with Brand X Internet.
Switch to Brand X DSL, where Verizon area pricing starts at $25 a month. AT&T area pricing starts at $22 a month.
$22 a month means $22 a month. There are no "special" fees and no phony taxes added on your bill.
Give us a call at 310 395 5500 and we will be happy to answer your questions.
Washington Post: AT&T Fined $100 Million for slowing down their 'Unlimited Data'.
Forbes: Why your phone bill keeps increasing
LA Times: Verizon increases prices again for telephone service..
DSL Reports: Verizon announced across the board price increases for dsl.
Official Notice: Verizon has stopped permitting Standalone DSL for their own customers.
Forcing you to buy a service you don't want is a price increase.
According to the Economist 700,000 Americans cancel their landlines each year.
Brand X Internet has been agressive in fighting for consumer choice.
We took the FCC to the Supreme Court challenging regulations that allowed the telephone companies to grab control of the Internet from the companies and research organizations that originally built it.
The phone companies won round one, but the battle isn't over. We believe "network neutrality" can be achieved only through real competition. Single source internet is a bad plan, no matter how you regulate it. Nobody has every voted on these issue, but we believe when the voice of the American people is heard, competition will be the rule.
We offer speeds fromf 3/4 megabits to 7.1 megabits.
For day to day web browsing, email and facebook even our cheapest service, with 3/4 of a megabit, will work just fine.
The most popular speed is 3 megabits. This is good for people who like to use Netflix and Youtube and play most games.
Viewers who want to watch high definition video may want to get a faster line with 5 megabits or 7 megabits. This is a really fast line.
It's also a dedicated line, so unlike with the cable company, you aren't sharing the same line with 2,000 other people in your neighborhood. You should be able to get good speed at any time of day because your neighbor's usage doesn't affect your speed.
We usually refer customers who want to know more about video speed and internet requirements to the Netflix page on this subject, which is found at https://help.netflix.com/en/node/306.

The Jets haven't had wide receiver Jeremy Kerley for the past two games, since he dislocated his left elbow Nov. 3 against the Saints. But he remains their leader in catches (28) and receiving yards (347) despite playing in eight of their 11 games this season.
Kerley on Wednesday progressed toward returning to the game field, when he practiced without a red (non-contact) jersey for the first time since suffering the injury.
But he was limited in the practice, as were wide receiver Santonio Holmes (foot and hamstring), running back Chris Ivory (ankle), linebacker Garrett McIntyre (knee), center Nick Mangold (wrist) and tight end Kellen Winslow (knee). Holmes and Winslow have been limited throughout the season during mid-week practices, to keep them fresh. McIntyre, a backup, has missed the past two games.
Kerley said he is still using just his right hand to catch balls "a little bit," but added, "I'm more confident than last week." He said he is able to use both hands to catch now, and quipped, "I can catch with three hands if I had three."
Kerley said that if he was 60 to 80 percent healthy, "I feel like that would be enough" for him to play Sunday against Miami, when the Jets' season will essentially be on the line against another 5-6 team.
"I've just got to keep playing with it and keep practicing with it," he said. "Take it to Thursday, Friday, try to practice fully and then make a decision."
He said he is "very, very" eager to return to game action.
"It's too cold on the sideline," he said, adding that "it's been hard" watching the Jets' offense struggle the past two weeks without him.
Kerley's elbow injury looked nasty when he sustained it.
"I think when we all saw the injury, we'd say that there's no way (he would be ready to play in this game against Miami)," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "He's got to just see how comfortable he is. He tried the week before, wasn't able to go (on Sunday at Baltimore), but he was pushing himself like crazy. He pushed himself too much. Hopefully he doesn't take any steps back (this week) and hopefully he's able to play."
Ryan said that even though Kerley was not wearing a non-contact jersey Wednesday, there was an understanding among the Jets that Kerley was off limits.
"It's almost like: Don't touch him," Ryan said. "One of those things."
Ivory leads the Jets with 502 rushing yards – 20 more than Bilal Powell. Ivory sprained his left ankle in Sunday's loss at Baltimore, and said afterward that the Jets' medical staff believed it was both a regular and high ankle sprain. Ivory sustained the injury on his first carry against the Ravens, but carried eight more times and finished with 35 yards. Ryan was encouraged by how Ivory bounced back in Wednesday's practice.
"He was running around pretty good," Ryan said. "Maybe he was limited, but I thought he looked pretty good."
Mangold is one of the Jets' most important offensive players. He downplayed his right (snapping) wrist injury, as did Ryan. Mangold has worn a wrap on his wrist lately. He attributed the injury to "wear and tear of the season," but said, "It's nothing major that I'm concerned about."
Said Ryan: "Those guys get beat up all the time. I don't know the extent (of Mangold's injury). He was limited (Wednesday), but we expect him to play (against Miami)."

Afghan Cuisine introduces flavors of Middle East to Renton
Encouraged by the success of Seattle's Kabul Afghan Cuisine, a father and son team are bringing delectable delights of Afghan food to Renton, with a new restaurant.
Father Aliahmad Ibrahimi and son "Toby" Tabish Ibrahimi opened Afghan Cuisine on Bronson Way S. in June.
Locals seem to be enjoying the savory dishes, as the restaurant is frequented by Boeing workers and local Middle Easterners living in Renton.
"It's been really good; people are really supportive," said Toby Ibrahimi. "People like the food a lot; people are treating us well. We've got the Boeing (crowd). Our prices are really reasonable, our portions are big, so people are happy."
So what does Afghan food taste like?
"Our food's not spicy; our food's not bland either," he said. "It has a lot of flavor to it."
When asked if it's comparable to Indian food at all, Toby Ibrahimi said Afghan is more like Greek or Mediterranean food than Indian food. It has a nice texture, he said.
Afghan Cuisine's menu features Qabuli Pallow, one of the most well-known dishes from Afghanistan. It's marinated lamb shank, cooked slowly with brown basmati rice and topped with raisins and julienned carrots.
Aliahmad is the main chef and has cooked in Europe and the San Francisco, Bay Area.
"People really love his lamb, it falls right off the bone," said his son. "Also the rice that comes with the lamb is really amazing."
The menu also features kabobs and mantoos, which are handmade dumplings, filled with ground beef and onions and topped with dry mint and yogurt. Afghan Cuisine's curries don't use curry powder; they let the dish simmer to create the curry. And no monosodium glutamate or MSG is used in the dishes, according to Toby Ibrahimi.
For Vegetarians, he stresses the care the restaurants takes with preparing those dishes as well. All of the utensils, equipment and storage for vegetarian meals is kept separate from the utensils and storage for the meat dishes.
Aliahmad Ibrahimi is originally from Afghanistan and Toby was born in Germany and has yet to visit the country. Toby has heard and learned all about the country known for it's hospitality growing up.
"Our main goal is to educate people about Afghanistan because all you see is about war," Toby Ibrahimi said. "But Afghanistan was such a peaceful country," he said referring to the era before the Soviet Union invaded in 1979.
"I really want to tell people about Afghanistan and how beautiful it is," said Toby Ibrahimi.

First of all, another "not voting" for Obama. I'm sorry, but that is just not okay. He has got to vote on this stuff or he loses all rights to stick others with their votes. Bad, bad form.
Second, read the details here at The Carpetbagger Report and see the roll call here. From Carpetbagger:
In the 11th hour, the Lieberman-Kyl measure was pulled, so that proponents could give the language a little touch-up. It came back today, and passed fairly easily.
The Kyl-Lieberman Iran amendment -- which ratchets up the confrontation with Iran by calling for the designation of its armed forces a terrorist organization responsible for killing U.S. troops -- just passed overwhelmingly, 76-22.
Of the Dem Presidential candidates, Hillary voted for the measure, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd opposed it, and Barack Obama missed the vote. On the GOP side, John McCain missed the vote.
To be sure, the revised version is preferable to the original. Two offending paragraphs, in particular, were omitted entirely, including the notion that "it should be the policy of the United States to combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies."
Indeed, the original resolution also included language that the Senate would "support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments," as part of our drive to "combat" Iran's "destabilizing influence."
Third, Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown voted against it and George Voinovich voted for it.
So, anyone think more about this post's ideas yet?

"My response to them was 'It was a great win,'" said Mott coach Steve Schmidt. "'Sometimes it doesn't have to be pretty to be a great win.'"
There is some middle ground on this one. If you were looking for a dazzling show, filled with aerial showmanship typical of Mott games, Ballenger Fieldhouse wasn't your place.
If you wanted to see a knock-down, drag-out test of will, Ballenger was your destination.
The Bears were down 35-31 at the break, and led just once, 2-0, in the first 20 minutes. Lansing led 46-38 at the 15-minute mark of the second half, and looked capable of administering another defeat to the Bears.
But once again, for the second time in the last two games, Marshawn Norris delivered daggers. With just over five minutes to play, the sophomore hit two key 3-pointers in the midst of an 11-3 run to close the door on the Stars, who beat Mott 70-69 in late November.
Norris has been streaky at times, and he knows that. But one thing is for sure, that's not going to deter him from shooting.
"I'll take every shot with same amount of confidence," he said. "Some shots are bigger than others, and they just happened to fall when they did."
Mott coach Steve Schmidt isn't surprised at Norris' theatrics. He acknowledged the sophomore's inconsistency, but isn't going to pull the plug on his attempts just yet.
"He hits big shots," said Schmidt. "He's a confident kid, and I don't want to take that confidence away."
Being aware of ability is a quality Norris possesses, but it's also a trait his team has embodied over the last three weeks. Although the Bears didn't play at full speed or potential Saturday night, Norris likes where they're headed.
"Well, that's what good teams do, they win when they're not playing their best," said Norris, who finished with nine points. "We think we're a good team, and we want to be a good team. We just pride ourselves on winning close games and finishing games up."
Taking a hold of games has been an "inside" job during the Bears' five-game win streak. But not Saturday.
Mott's inside presence was nearly absent, with the exception of spurts from Mike Brigham, who tied for a team-high 14 points and had 11 rebounds. Leviante Davis has been Brigham's right-hand man in the paint, especially during the last few weeks. He shot just 2-for-11 and finished with eight points.
Doug Anderson scored a season-low four on 2-for-8 shooting.
But it's not all about the obvious contributors for the Bears, who have had increasing production from the bench. One player is Sam Burton, who matched Davis with a team-high 14 points in a reserve role.
"He had his best game in a Mott uniform," said Schmidt.
Lansing's Vino Ashley scored a team-high 14 points, while sharpshooter Colin Ward turned in 13.
Either way it's dissected, the Bears' redemption-win against the Stars serves a purpose, just as the "gut-check" win over Jackson Wednesday night.
"You know, I think it's important because how we won," said Schmidt. "We battled back, and from that standpoint, I'm very pleased. ...We just have to continue to work on consistency."

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- At the Birmingham Civil Rights
Institute, the last gallery that people see tries to connect the civil rights
struggles in Alabama with the wider human rights movement around the world --
from historical events like Gandhi, Solidarity and Johannesburg, to contemporary
challenges this year like the Arab spring street uprisings and the recent Congo
This afternoon at the institute, archivist Laura Anderson is greeting visitors in the institute's gallery of human rights to share how Birmingham's intensely local civil rights protest shares a sense of force and purpose with other human rights struggles around the world.
"It's about more than the declaration of human rights," she said. "To me it's a celebration of the human spirit, and what the human spirit can accomplish when there is courage and will."
Visitors will also be able to learn, from 2 to 4 p.m., about a recent student exchange between Birmingham and South Africa, and hear a poetry project by poet/musician Sharrif Simmons and students from Birmingham's Hudson K-8 School, from 4 to 5 p.m.

As Carlisle continues to look at how best to address concerns of residents about repeat code violations and legal problems at properties in the borough, officials are rallying around consistent enforcement and greater public outreach.
"It seems we're in a reactive mode instead of a proactive mode," Borough Council President Perry Heath said at Carlisle's public safety committee meeting Wednesday morning. "I don't think we have a comprehensive way to show that we can track these problems."
The borough has ordinances and a system of information sharing between its code enforcement and emergency personnel, he said, but it needs to show the public how it deals with problems.
The discussion at the police department was, in part, generated by last week's finance and public works committee meeting, where more than 30 residents from various neighborhood associations attended to express their discontent with what they see as ongoing codes and legal violations at repeat-offender properties throughout the borough. Members of those groups placed much of the blame on rental properties, landlords and tenants.
No one from the neighborhood associations attended last week's committee meeting.
Borough officials left today's meeting looking for solutions that don't pigeonhole groups, add unnecessary ordinances to the books, nor force good property owners to jump through administrative hoops.
"Stronger enforcement is probably a better solution than creating a new ordinance on top of ordinances," Heath said.
Other officials agreed, including Mayor Tim Scott, who warned that the borough should be firm yet fair.
"Aggressive codes enforcement is the key," Scott said, "and we as elected officials can't be afraid of backlash for enforcing our codes."
However, Borough Manager Matt Candland said the borough's code enforcement officials are doing an outstanding job, particularly in trying to strike a balance between enforcement of property maintenance codes and giving owners a chance to meet the law before bringing down an iron fist.
"I think consistent enforcement is the key," Candland said. "If you're not consistent, then you're going to have inherently unfair treatment."
As it is, emergency personnel said they're doing their part to communicate potential problems to codes enforcement and police. Fire department representative Brian Hamilton said fire officials report problems as they witness them, whether that's cases of potential criminal activity to police, or incidents that could affect the health and welfare of residents to code enforcement.
The police also are using some of the borough's technology to share information with other departments to stem problems, police Chief Stephen Margeson and Lt. Stephen Latshaw said.
"I don't think we've had problems with properties and citing," Latshaw said. "We're definitely sharing information."
That includes police access to Springbook, the codes enforcement database where the borough tracks recurring problems at properties.
"Maybe with all this technology, we can focus on the problems instead of bothering everyone, as some people say," council member Don Grell said.
If the borough has the ordinances, information sharing, and plans to give less leeway for code infractions, then the ultimate question is how does it help educate the public about major requirements, ordinances and contact numbers for problems? Council member Dawn Flower asked.
The solution could be getting out to various events to talk about the borough's stepped-up approach, or even using the internet and social media to spread the word, Scott said.
Another solution could come from Carlisle's recent past, council member Linda Cecconello said. The borough or other organizations published pamphlets with vital property, ordinance and contact info in the past, she said. Similar as-needed publications could help with problems.
However, code enforcement and police can't do their job if they aren't told about problems, Heath said. Information sharing is vital for the public to get a handle on the problems in neighborhoods.
"Make the call," Heath said. "That's why public safety and codes [departments] exist."

WOOLWICH TWP. — The township committee's majority will make a major shift when John Descano, the Republican candidate for the lone open seat, takes office in January.
