D.C. scandal has Clinton link
A federal probe into a Democratic donor's involvement in a Washington D.C.-based scandal has brushed up against Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign, according to reports and source accounts to POLITICO.
The new wrinkle in the ongoing saga of Jeff Thompson, a businessman who was accused of funneling money to a secret effort to help Washington Mayor Vincent Gray, came after a guilty plea Wednesday by another businessman, Troy White, to a misdemeanor tax charge.
But court documents make clear White was accused of improperly helping a presidential campaign, which multiple sources identified to POLITICO as Hillary Clinton's 2008 effort. The Clinton connection was first reported by the Washington Post. Thompson has not been charged with anything, and is not identified in court papers that were filed in the White case.
The statement of offense in the case, filed with the court, indicates involvement with White, and a number of people not identified by name. One of them, "Individual A," was identified by the Washington Post as former Clinton adviser Minyon Moore, a well-liked and well-regarded operative.
The incident is, in some ways, tangential to the campaign itself — sources familiar with the investigation insisted Clinton's campaign, which is cooperating with federal officials and is said to have turned over hundreds of pages worth of emails and related documents, is not itself a target.
But the proximity of the probe to a longtime Clinton insider working on the campaign was certain to raise fresh questions in the minds of donors who, despite their admiration for the former secretary of state, had fears about the functionality of new efforts in 2016.
In a statement to the Associated Press, her 2008 campaign lawyer, Lyn Utrecht, said, "Hillary Clinton for President has cooperated fully in the matter involving Troy White. As the court document filed in this matter clearly states, the Committee turned down Mr. White's services. The Committee will not have any further comment in an ongoing investigation."
According to the court filings, without identifying the campaign or the officials involved, White tried pitching his firm's "street teams" to help in the primary race. They declined to use his services, according to campaign emails contained in the court papers.
POLITICO was unable to reach Moore for comment.
A source confirmed to POLITICO that the campaign official who rejected White's pitch, in an email, was Guy Cecil, who is currently the executive director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
In an email to Cecil and Moore on Jan. 31, 2008, White made the offer again, "in case your strategy has changed."
According to the court papers, "later that day" the individual whom sources identified as Moore wrote back to White and Cecil, "… I am piping up saying we need your services … let's [find] some money. I will fight for it."
The court papers describe Moore as then connecting a businessman, who sources identified as Thompson, with White.
Moore's current firm, the Dewey Square Group, told the Washington Post that she has been cooperating "fully" with the feds, adding, "The facts make clear that she was entirely unaware of any inappropriate activities and at all times conducted herself, as she always has, not only in full compliance with the law but in accordance with the highest ethical and professional standards."
The feds allege that Thompson sent $608,750 to Wytehouse, White's firm, from a company called Belle International. That firm is owned by a Thompson ally.
Texas was one of the sites for the "street teams," a state in which Clinton beat Barack Obama in March 2008 as the primary slog wore on.
The documents say that Moore "provided White with confidential internal information" about Clinton's campaign schedule, and helped get the candidate's Texas-based offices to get materials like buttons and yard signs to the teams.
Thompson is under a grand jury investigation, according to documents and multiple reports.
He has been a supporter of Clinton politically and a donor to the Clinton Foundation.

Coupons powered by Coupons.com
Coupons powered by Coupons.com
I have tried 3 times to print these coupons. My printer is on and I followed the directions. It is very frustrating. Also I feel like I gave a bunch of information about me with absolutely no return to me.
Ms. Linda, make sure you don't have a pop-up blocker turned on. This happened to me the first time and my coupons wouldn't print because the pop-up blocker was preventing the print bubble.
First time I have visited this site. I don't understand the problem others are having with the printing unless their virus scans/blockers are stopping them from installing a 'foreign' program. And, the only information I was asked was my local zip code, then the Coupon Printer program loaded within about 45 seconds and I am now printing coupons. As of Dec 19, 2014, this program is working fine.
Go to coupons.com. I don't have a problem printing them directly from their web site.
How do you change the zip code?
Go to Mypoints.com
Every time I click a link in an email from Raining Hot Coupons it takes me to this page…over and over and over and over. Why is this happening?
I have "clipped" my coupon but I cant see the button to print. I assume it is covered by the zigzag crap on the right side of screen.
Go to coupon 101 and drop down box will say print coupons
" I assume it is covered by the zigzag crap on the right side of screen."
The "zigzag crap" is part of the background design for this entire site Dear.
If there is an issue with printing it is caused by the browser you are using.
I just printed my coupons using firefox with absolutely no problem whatsoever.
If you continue having an issue you can just go to coupons.com and find and print the coupons yourselves from there 🙂
You also need to have the coupons printer installed before you can print from coupons.com 🙂
Bow? Ijust got this samsu g galaxy so there haz gotta be a way
If you get the zig zag in the way. Just click around where the print button is, and it will print with no problem:)
what is the zip? 🙂
for the pins sorry…?
Because you have the "coupons.com" site embedded on your page – it's erroring and cropping the window so we can't get to all the coupons and we can't print from your page. SOLUTION: go to coupons.com and clip and print the coupons from there.
I had absolutley no issues with this! Amazing deal! Thanks
what zip did you use amanda?
I have tried all suggestions above. I have tried with my PC, ipad 2 and Samsung galaxy s4, using safari, explorer and chrome, all to no avail ! The time I've spent is definitely not worth 5 bucks!
good luck, ladies.
need a zip. not showing up on mine. 9the kraft one)
I need the#101 white grapefruit juice coupon I'm new at this.I don't have my printer set up cuz I need help doing this but I can copy my cellphone lol tamee 530-923-5184 pls help
I use coupons.com all the time. Just go to straight to that website to get your coupon. YOU MUST INSTALL THEIR COUPON PRINTER and MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF YOUR POP UP BLOCKER. Oh and I use this site with Internet Explorer as my browser.
Maցnificcent goodѕ from you, mɑn. I havе understan youir
styff previous tο and ʏou aree just extremely fantastic.

Thiss is actually a wonderfսl website.
It didn't print any of my coupons, instead it printed coupons I DIDN'T choose…..it now won't let me print the ones I wanted because they've already supposedly printed…….
I am using the latest version of Firefox, I have this site excluded for pop-up blocking and I've followed all of the above recommendations. Yet, NO COUPONS WILL PRINT! Evidently there are no instructions or trouble-shooting solutions available other than other frustrated people's comments. This site is an absolute waste of Internet band space.
Walgreens won't take this coupon if it says reedemable at Wal-Mart anyways. Save yourself the hassle.
It keeps telling me to install the coupon printer and asking for my password but when I put password in it asks me if I want to reset it.
Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging
on websites I stumbleupon every day. It's always helpful to read
content from other writers and practice a little something from

On the debut of "Piers Morgan Tonight," we learned that Oprah Winfrey got weepy over the recent start of her new network, worries about failure and is, bless her, happier than she's ever been.
We also learned a little more about Morgan, the man who would be King – or at least Larry King's replacement on CNN. The Brit, best known to U.S. audiences as a talent show judge (and reality show contestant), can be charming when he avoids acerbic and sticks to brash, and can pull off a credible celebrity interview.
But will that be enough to yank CNN out of its primetime ratings mire and restore the network as a main destination for news-hungry viewers who haven't made up their minds on the issues of the day? Or is that just a quaint notion of a bygone era?
U.S. & World
Much, of course, has changed since "Larry King Live" debuted in 1985 when CNN was the only 24-hour TV national news operation around. King, in his own sometimes goofy way, set the standard for a general interest primetime cable news show driven by timely interviews with newsmakers and celebrities. The show's ratings declined in recent years with the polarization of the news talk business, amid the rise of Fox and MSNBC, and King's increasingly detached performance.
It's difficult, after one show, to tell exactly where Morgan – and the ratings – are headed. The initial outing had the feel of Barbara Walters primetime special, with Morgan praising Winfrey (calling her "the American queen"), good-naturedly teasing her into betting him (200 pounds) over which of them will snare an interview with disgraced football star Michael Vick first and sneaking in the occasional probing personal question for those who care ("How many times have you been properly in love?").
Not surprisingly, his first-week guest lineup is filled with more big names, including George Clooney, Howard Stern and Condoleezza Rice.
In the longer term, though, success will be measured not only by ratings-friendly "gets," but perhaps by whether "Piers Morgan Tonight" becomes a place audiences turn to when big news breaks.
At his best, King's seat-of-his-suspenders-secured-pants questioning style worked well when major events unfolded. Morgan's background as a newspaper editor in Britain suggests he has the chops, though his U.S. TV career hasn't shown it, with stints on "America's Got Talent" (he's sticking with the show) and "Celebrity Apprentice" in which he seemed to be playing a cranky character of sorts.
He came off as far more affable Monday night. The Winfrey interview was taped, so Morgan hasn't yet interacted with the audience via the call-in segment that was King's hallmark. We're looking forward to seeing how Morgan keeps his promise to integrate social media into the show, which might help attract some of the crowd that gets much of its news and entertainment via the Internet.
If he's trying for a younger audience, though, you wouldn't know it from his initial guests, all good interview subjects, but all north of 40. We're still not sure what to make of Morgan trying to incite a pointless feud with Madonna (he banned her from the show last month because she's "boring"), while praising Lady Gaga (if he's angling for an interview with the performer, it would be hard to top her surreal Larry-doppelganger appearance on "Larry King Live" last year).
Morgan's first show suggested he's determined not to be a Larry King clone – an impression he sealed by ending with a question that probably never would have left his predecessor's lips: "How have I done?"
"You have been surprising," Winfrey replied.
That might be a bit of an overstatement for what was a reasonably entertaining, if not deeply revealing, conversation. But the performance was enough to draw us back to see whether Piers Morgan will surprise us in the nights to come by putting on more than just another celebrity chat show.

There's a lot of behind-the-scenes dedication that makes the annual Extreme Makeover project so successful, said Traci Maginn of Fayette, who coordinates the effort with her husband, Mike.
It goes beyond the volunteers who show up to do the work, she said, and also includes those who provide food, money and materials.
This marked the fourth consecutive makeover project taken on by members of Fayette's Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church and Archbold's St. Peter's Catholic Church. Each year a parish member is aided in home repair needs.
"Without the team's enthusiasm and generous spirits, the project wouldn't exist," Maginn said.
She thanked Helen Rettle and her family for "letting us intrude on her peace and allowing so many of us to feel like we were able to make a difference in her life."
Maginn said the volunteers who were able to make it to the job site were inspiring in their resolve to finish what they'd started and see the results of their work.
She quotes Mother Teresa's words that provide guidance to the workers:
"There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in—that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible."

However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
- Itinerary Disclaimer:While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
- Important Notes:1) Please note that on domestic flights within North America, baggage fees are not included in the ticket price and are subject to additional payment at check-in. Should you choose to check a bag on internal flights within Hawaii, the cost is approx. $25 USD (1st checked bag; additional charges if checking more than one bag). Checked bags must be below 50lbs (22.5 kg).
We use Hawaii Airlines for our domestic flights on tour. Passengers who enroll in Hawaiian Airlines Rewards Membership program, at least 2 weeks before travel, can reduce the approximate baggage fee from $25USD to $15USD.

Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
- Group Leader Description:This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders, otherwise known as a Chief Experience Officer (CEO). The CEO will be the group manager, leader and driver - this person is experienced in the routes travelled and will organize and lead the meal preparations and has experience in cooking a variety of local and international dishes for large groups.
As the group coordinator and manager, the aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. They will also offer suggestions for things to do and to see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends.
We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting - we think it's the best of both worlds.
- Group Size Notes:Max 13, avg 10.
- Meals Included:No meals included
- Transport:Private vehicle, plane, walking.
- About our Transportation:For this trip we use 15-passenger vans for up to 13 people plus the CEO/Driver. For groups of 8 and more travellers, we also use a trailer to carry luggage. These durable vehicles allow us to drive on most types of roads in North America.
Each van has a front passenger seat and 4 benches that will accommodate 3 people each with mandatory seat belts to keep us secure and safe. No standing is permitted in these vehicles.
This is not a physically demanding journey, but with limited space in the van, long drive days can be difficult. Please take note of the travel times and distances in the above itinerary. There is air conditioning to cool things down on warm days to keep everyone more comfortable. Despite some of the long days, most travellers feel that the diversity of the North American landscape, culture and wildlife are all well worth the experience!

Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.

- Visas and Entry Requirements:All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent. It is your own responsibility to have the correct travel documentation. Visa requirements for your trip will vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. We keep the following information up to date as far as possible, but rules do change and sometimes without warning. While we provide the following information in good faith, it is vital that you check yourself and understand that you are fully responsible for your own visa requirements.
- Spending Money:Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
- Money Exchange:The United States currency is the US Dollar (USD).
Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in the US and can be used to purchase small and large items. When purchasing products or services with a foreign credit card in the USA, you may be charged additional fees by your credit card company for foreign purchases.
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances but you must remember to bring your PIN number (be aware that many ATM machines only accept 4-digit PINs). Both Cirrus and Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. Both Visa and Master Cards are the most widely accepted credit cards. While ATMs are commonly available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work check with your bank before you travel. A visit to an ATM can be arranged on Day 1 and other days of the trip.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of US Dollars as cash (preferably smaller bills, 5's, 10's and 20's), traveller's cheques and credit cards is best. Currency exchange is best obtained prior to travel or at the airport, currency exchange is very difficult to find in the USA and most banks do not accommodate.
Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
- Emergency Fund:Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
- Tipping:It is customary in North America to tip service providers such as waiters, bartenders and taxi drivers, at approximately 18-20%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected - though not compulsory - component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip any local guides used. Recommendations for tipping local guides would range from $2-8 USD per activity depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures Chief Experience Officer did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference; however as a guideline $5-10 USD per person, per day can be used as a guide. If your CEO(s) exceeded your expectations, feel free to tip more.
- Optional Activities:Waikiki
- Oahu Skydiving (300USD per person)
- Snorkel Hanauma Bay (7USD per person)
- Pearl Harbor Tour (149USD per person)
- Diamond Head Hike (7USD per person)
- Coko Head Hike
- Kauai Mountain Tubing (121USD per person)

- Refuge Helicopter Eco Tour (314USD per person)
- Kauai Explorer Helicopter Tour (299USD per person)
- Safety and Security:Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home - you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
- A Couple of Rules:Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of people in the sex trade is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they engage in any form of paid sex work.
- Travel Insurance:Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Yahoo! My Yahoo! Mail Yahoo! Search Search: Sign InNew User? Sign Up News Home - Help Navigation Primary Navigation Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Secondary Navigation Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America Search Search: U.S. hints at flexibility on Israeli settlement halt Reuters - Friday, August 28 By Arshad Mohammed ADVERTISEMENT WASHINGTON - Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations could possibly resume without a complete freeze in Israeli building of Jewish settlements, a senior U.S. official suggested on Thursday. The official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, said it was more important that the scope of a settlement freeze was acceptable to the Israelis and the Palestinians than to the United States. The Obama administration hopes next month to announce a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which have been stalled since December, but the pieces have not yet fallen into place, diplomats and U.S. officials said. U.S. special envoy George Mitchell is trying get Israel to freeze its construction of Jewish settlements, a Palestinian condition for resuming talks. He has also asked Arab states to offer some gestures towards normalization of ties with Israel. Even if Israel and the Palestinians agree to resume talks, analysts believe chances of a peace agreement any time soon are slim because of divisions among the Palestinians and a fragile, right-wing coalition in Israel. The Obama administration has taken the public stance that Israel must halt all settlement activity, including so-called "natural growth" under which new homes are built within existing enclaves to accommodate growing settler families. While saying this was still Washington's position, the U.S. official suggested the United States would not stand in the way if the two sides could agree on something short of that. "Are we going to argue, if at some point the parties say, 'you know, this is not everything that we hope for but it's enough?" asked the U.S. official. "That would then have us presenting an obstacle to the start of a negotiation." Mitchell and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued an unusually upbeat statement after meeting in London on Wednesday, saying that their talks were "very productive" and that they had made "good progress." However, Netanyahu on Thursday denied that they agreed on a temporary halt to settlement building. An Israeli team is due in the United States next week for more talks and Mitchell will return to the region in September. About half a million Israelis live in settlements built in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in territory captured by Israeli forces in the 1967 Middle East War. Palestinians want to establish a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with its capital in Jerusalem. An Arab diplomat suggested neither side will get everything that it wants, with the Palestinians likely to accept something short of a total settlement freeze while Israel gets only symbolic normalization steps from Arab states. "Whatever deal we get on the settlements will be less than perfect," said the diplomat, who asked not to be named. "In other words, there comes a point where they just have to take what they can get," he said.

Eric Williams joins 2012 Class of First Time Feature Winners
Miley puts exclamation point of 2012 Title run
Swartzlander wins feature, reels in seventh championship
AJ Flick runs away from field as McPherson nears first championship
Sarver, PA (August 20, 2012) With dozens of scouts and our friends from the Pittsburgh Circle Track Club on hand, Fab Four Racing came to the white flag on the season as the Budweiser Track Championship Chase nears an end. Both Kevin Schaeffer (fifth) and Rod George (second) scored top five finishes as Eric Williams scored his career first feature win in the Ti22 Sprints. Brian Swartzlander took a hug step towards securing his seventh Track Championship by checkering his fourth Diehl Mods feature of 2012 and the 76th of his career at the Action Track. Jared Miley put an exclamation mark on his 2012 Budweiser Track Championship by winning his Fab Four leading sixth feature in the Precise Late Models. And AJ Flick brought the night to a close with a popular win in the Pic-A-Part Sportsman as both Corey McPherson (third) and Jim Fosnaught (fifth) recorded top fives to keep their title hopes alive heading into Championship Night next Friday, August 24.
Eric Williams entered Friday night's Ti22 Performance DIRTcar Sprint feature third in points with a pair of heat race wins and a pair of second place finishes to his credit. But after crossing the scales, he finally got to make one last left-hand turn; into Sheetz Victory Lane as the latest first time feature winner of the 2012 Fab Four Racing Season. Central PA visitor Daryl Stimeling took the quick lead as the green flag waved, but it was evident early that Williams was riding a rocket ship as he quickly made his way to the front. Stimeling led the first four laps, trading slide jobs in the turns and drag racing down the straight-aways with Pete Miller III for the first five laps. Miller took the lead officially on lap five, only to see Williams rocket around the top of turn two on lap six. Miller drew back even to Williams on the back stretch, but Williams again rocket around the top of turn four this time and into the lead for good. By lap seven, Williams had a healthy lead and championship contender Rod George had moved back Miller for second. August 3 feature winner Jack Sodeman Jr. broke and came to a stop at the top of turn three on lap 10 to slow the race for the first time.
The initial restart was called back, but Williams got a great jump on the second restart as George and Miller battled for second. Once clear of Miller on lap 12, George reeled in and passed Williams on the back straightaway. George and Williams unofficially swapped the lead, as Williams was better in one & two, but George would draw even on the back and pass him in three & four. However, as they entered turns one & two on lap 14, Williams took George's line away and blocked his passing lane as they exited turn two. This time, Williams was at the point for good and even lapped traffic couldn't keep him from taking his first checkered flag at the Action Track. Williams' Ti22 Sprint feature win is the second of his career, as he scored a feature winner at Mercer Raceway Park earlier this season.
Rod George kept his Budweiser Track Championship hopes alive with a strong second place finish, while Pete Miller III crossed the stripe third after a thrilling and spirited battle with Brandon Matus in the closing laps for third; though Matus faded in the final few laps to sixth. Early leader Daryl Stimeling ran in the top five the entire race and finished fourth ahead of Budweiser Points leader Kevin Schaeffer in fifth. Following Matus across the stripe to round out the Ti22 Top Ten were Australian Marty Perovich, Scott Priester, Carl Bowser and Brandon Matus. Kevin Schaeffer and Marty "Muscles" Perovich scored heat race victories.
Heading into Fab Four Racing Championship Night next Friday, August 24, incumbent Budweiser Points leader Kevin Schaeffer carries a 424-408 lead over fellow former three-time Track Champion Rod George. All other drivers in the Ti22 Sprint division have been mathematically eliminated from title contention.
The Chase for the Budweiser Track Championship in the Diehl Auto Group DIRTcar Northeast Big Block Modifieds was a three-car battle entering Friday Night's 25-lap feature with All Time division wins leader Brian Swartzlander carrying a 12 point lead over Dave Murdick, with Jeremiah Shingledecker just 12 points behind Murdick. But after scoring his fourth win of the season and 76th of his Action Track career, Swartzlander will roll into Championship night with a 29 and 30 point lead over Shingledecker and Murdick; all but securing his seventh Track Championship. But the getting there wasn't easy!
Defending Track Champion Jeremiah Shingledecker led the field to the green flag and led 19 of the first 20 laps. Brad Rapp used a lap six restart to pass Steve Feder for second and the lap 11 restart to briefly take the lead from Shingledecker. The lap 11 restart was brought about after title contender Dave Murdick slowed with what he thought was an overheating engine. But the engine cooled under caution so he rejoin the field, only to retire two laps later; a post race inspection by his crew revealed a loose radiator cap to be the culprit. On the track, Rapp used the low groove in turns one & two to duck under Shingledecker on the restart to take the lead, only to see Shingledecker drive back around him the following lap with the red #83 of Swartzlander in tow. The leaders entered lapped traffic on lap 20 with Swartzlander all over Shingledecker. Swartzlander took a look under the black #37MD in turns one and two, and then rocketed off the bottom of turn four and into the lead at the flagstand to complete lap 21. Shingledecker gave chase, but Swartzlander cleared him in turns one & two and motored away to his fourth win of the season and into a comfortable points lead heading into Championship Night.
Shingledecker's strong second place run moves him into second in the Budweiser point standings, but 29 points is probably too much to overcome in one night of Diehl Mods competition. Swartzlander will earn seven points (one in the heat, six in the feature) just for taking the green flag, meaning that Shingledecker will have the deck stacked against him to successfully defend his 2011 crown. Murdick, meanwhile was scored an unlucky 13th and enters Championship 30 points behind Swartzlander.
Rising stars Brad Rapp and Steve Feder continue to close the 2012 season strong; Rapp with another podium finish after crossing the stripe in third and Feder with another top five with a strong fourth place run. Rapp and Feder were also winners of their respective heat races. Small black ace Eric Gabany raced to a fifth place finish ahead of Mark Frankhouser, Skip Moore, Dean Pearson, Don Brown and Bob Warren to round out the Diehl Top Ten.
Jared Miley took the green flag of the Precise Racing Products DIRTcar Late Model feature with the 2012 Budweiser Track Championship in the bag thanks to an 80+ point lead in the Budweiser standings, but still showed the field no mercy as he came from 11th on the starting grid to win his sixth feature of 2012. Steadily making his way to the front in the opening laps, Miley was second on lap eight after second place running Brian Swartzlander made a hard right off the top of turn two on the restart. Prior to that, Garrett Krummert appeared to be on his way to joining Eric Williams in the Class of 2012 First Time Feature Winners, but one mistake – sliding off the back stretch on lap 14 – was all it took to let Miley rocket past into the lead. Krummert fought back, but in doing so, went off the top of turn two just one lap later to bring out the caution. Miley restarted on the pole and quickly pulled away as Alex Ferree and Brian Swartzlander battled for second. As he has proved time and again in 2012, once in the lead, Miley is good as gold and he rolled the family owned #H1 into Sheetz Victory Lane for the sixth time this season and already the 15th time still in the early stages of his career.
Alex Ferree won the late race duel with Brian Swartzlander to finish second, while Doug Eck passed Swartzlander late for third; relegating Swartzlander to fourth. John Garvin Jr. rounded out the Precise Top Five ahead of Lynn Geisler, Bryan Force, Todd Bachman, Tony Burke and Shawn Schaltenbrand. Early leader Garrett Krummert was credited with 14th place. Todd Bachman and John Garvin Jr. took checkered flags in heat race competition.
While Corey McPherson and Jim Fosnaught chase the 2012 Budweiser Track Championship in the Millerstown Pic-A-Part DIRTcar Sportsman division, AJ Flick stole the show and ran away with his second feature win of the season in dominant fashion! Flick flanked Matt Keith to the green flag and quickly took the lead into turn one. A handful of cautions and subsequent restarts didn't faze the third generation driver as he led all 20 laps to score the popular win.
While Flick cruised to a relatively unchallenged feature win, the battle for second was fiercely contested through lapped traffic in the closing laps between All Time division wins leader Joe Kelley, incumbent Budweiser Points leader Corey McPherson and 2008 Track Champion Bob Egley; crossing under the checkered flag in that order second through fourth. Title contender Jim Fosnaught chased that trio to the finish line in fifth. The Pic-A-Part Top Ten rounded out with Pat Hanley, Rob Shook, Paul Schreckengost, Brett McDonald and Terry Young. Defending Track Champion Mike Miller rolled into the pits before taking the green flag in hot laps and never returned to the track. Heat races were claimed by Corey McPherson, Paul Schreckengost and AJ Flick.
Corey McPherson rolls into Championship Night with a 27-point cushion thanks to his heat race win and podium finish in the feature. Fosnaught got collected in a wreck in his heat race, but salvaged a fifth place finish from 21st on the starting grid. 27 points isn't an insurmountable lead, but Fosnaught will certainly have his work cut out for him if he hopes to wrest the title from the hungry hands of the Tarentum Terror!
Mindboggling as it may seem, the checkered flag will fall on the Fab Four Racing season this Friday, August 24 on Championship Night. As detailed above, Jared Miley has already clinched the Precise Late Model title, while Brian Swartzlander has to do little more than take the green flag in his heat and feature to seal the Diehl Mods Championship and join Joe Kelley as the only other seven-time Track Champion of a single division. Kevin Schaeffer leads Rod George by 16 points in the Ti22 Sprints and Corey McPherson leads Jim Fosnaught by 27 points in the Pic-A-Part Sportsman.
But the end of Fast Fridays of Fab Four Racing doesn't mark the end of our racing season. The Lernerville post-season is chalk full of events starting with the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprints along with the 305 Sprint Warriors and Pic-A-Part Sportsman/Stocks on Friday, August 31 to kick off Labor Day Weekend. Then we shift gears into Saturdays in September starting with Autumn-Motive Fest 2012 featuring the Sportsman/Stock Spectacular on Saturday, September 8. "Back to School" Bus & Kids Bike races will follow on Saturday, September 15. The "Greatest Show on Dirt" returns to the Action Track on Saturday, September 22 as the World of Outlaws return for the Commonwealth Clash. Then after a month of darkness, we'll bring the 2012 season to a close with the DIRTcar Round Up Steel City Stampede on Thursday-Friday-Saturday, October 25-26-27 with three big nights of racing across 10 divisions!

|Huge vaired menu, attentive and friendly service. Warm, attractive interior design and colors, cleanliness easily apparent. Quiet pleasant music, no television noise in the background in contrast to Loving Hut. I like being able to leave out all the imitation meat products and have good dishes here. Nice to have them in Chinatown as well as their Kirkham location.

|Started with the BBQ Pork, nice flavor, but a bit too soggy/squishy. Chow Mein had about 5x the bean sprouts as noodles. Veggie tri-spice chicken was tasty, most flavorful dish we had. Lemon chicken had a thick coating of lemon slime (not appealing). Overall, food could have used more flavor/spices. Very bright inside, lacking in ambiance.
Reviews: 30
|Agree with previous reviews. The "chicken" was pretty good, better than other fake meats I've had. Sauce was a bit mild though.

|The most inexpensive way to try their food is get a bunch of friends to eat family style with you. If that's not easy to do, try their very affordable $7.50 lunch menu. Bring a takeout container cause small eaters will have extras to bring home. If you don't know what to order, order entrees with photos on the menu. They are their top sellers. #90 Bean Curd Roll is my favorite dish.
Reviews: 81
|Had an excellent dinner here with two others. The hardest part was picking from the very large menu. They have something for everyone - faux meat or no meat. Everything we got was good and interesting, but some might find the flavoring on the mild side. We are very lucky to have gone from 1 to 3 veg*n restaurants in Chinatown recently - please support them all so they will thrive.

UN Report highlights humanitarian concerns in East Jerusalem
TitleUN Report highlights humanitarian concerns in East Jerusalem
Today a team from OCHA's office in the occupied Palestinian territory presented to humanitarian partners in New York the report 'East Jerusalem: Key Humanitarian Concerns'. The report focuses the humanitarian impact of Israeli policies on an estimated 270,000 Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem. According to the report, these policies risk undermining the Palestinian presence in East Jerusalem in the long-term.
Measures such as the Israel West Bank Barrier limit Palestinian access to basic services, such as education and health. They also limit the local population's right to plan and develop communities, and to freely choose to live in East Jerusalem as an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory.
East Jerusalem, traditionally the hub of Palestinian healthcare, education, social, economic and religious activity, has become increasingly isolated from the rest of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Nonetheless, it continues to be the centre of life for Palestinians, despite their increasing vulnerability.
The Report stresses that Palestinians must be able to exercise their fundamental rights, including the rights to freedom of movement, work, housing, health, education and freedom of worship. It provides specific recommendations to mitigate key concerns around the most urgent needs, and concludes that the Government of Israel, as the occupying power, is responsible under international law for meeting the humanitarian needs of Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the remainder of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
