At Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella
The Serego Alighieri Estate belongs to direct descendants of Dante the Poet, who have lived in Valpolicella since 1353. The visit, which offers a dip into the archive of the noble family of the Counts Serego Alighieri and their lives in the Valpolicella area, includes a walk through the gardens and vines of the estate and a stop at the the small Serego Alighieri cellar which is full of the aromas of cherry barrels, used according to family tradition, and afterwards, to the drying room to see the appassimento of the grapes. The experience finishes with a tasting of a selection of fine wines.
The Serego Alighieri Estate offers the chance to stay overnight in the historic Foresteria, redesigned to contain eight appartments which are decorated in the traditional style of country gentlefolk: an oasis of peace in which to take a leisurely dip into the archive of the noble family of the Counts Serego Alighieri in the Valpolicella. Also available are rooms suitable for events and conferences with a professional kitchen fully equipped for courses and the discovery of the tastes and aromas of the natural products of the Estate and the surrounding area, all matched appropriately with the wine. In the Sales area, it is possible to taste and buy the whole range of Masi and Serego Alighieri wines, along with wines from a number of great Amarone vintages.
The nearby Cantine Masi wine cellars can be visited as an extension of this tour.

I was wondering how many seconds of rrst i should use between 2 reps.
I want to gain muscle and the most of the time i can read everywhere that rest is important but there is never written how long it should takes.
It's well known that training in the 8-12 rep range is great for adding inches to muscle bellies but if you want to be able to lift more at those ranges, then you need to get stronger. And to get stronger, you need to train with more weight and fewer reps. Numerous studies support the idea that training with repetitions in the 2-6 range best develops muscle strength. This rep range best produces changes in both the muscle fibers and the nervous system that promote strength gains.
Certain training techniques can help you get stronger faster. But one particular technique stands alone for its ability to help you grow. Finnish researchers studied 16 male athletes after a standard leg workout (four sets of leg presses, two sets of squats and two sets of leg extensions, all for 12 reps taken to failure with two minutes of rest between sets) or a forced-rep leg workout (same exercises, sets and reps as in the standard leg workout, but with 15% heavier weight so athletes would have to rely on assistance from a spotter to complete all 12 reps). The forced-rep program resulted in slightly higher testosterone levels and much higher GH levels. Another study reported that athletes who used forced-rep training lost more bodyfat than those who stopped at failure.
Personally, I've found that a workout program that involves a week or two on low reps/heavy weight then switching to lighter weight/higher reps works best for me. Now if I could only give up beer I'd be set for life!!!! Lol
Basically they last between 15 to 60 seconds. But then again it depends on the intensity of the work out. A workout should always be done until there is a change but not pain.

text: MIAMI Ingrid Hoffmann's Teutonic name has always provoked queries about its origin ever since she was growing up in Colombia. But now that she's branding herself as a Miami-based Latin cooking and entertainment media maven, the attention has gotten more than a little irksome. "I was doing a presentation for a major retailer, and they said 'Is she really Latin?' People don't think I'm Latin enough because of my name!" an indignant Hoffmann says. It's a far cry from the days when the likes of Ramon Estevez and Richard Valenzuela had to become Martin Sheen and Ritchie Valens, respectively, to make it in show biz. Now with the Hispanic population mushrooming and Spanish-language media drawing record audiences, it's hip to be Latino -- and even better if you have the Spanish name, either first or last, to prove it. But due to accidents of ancestry, some Hispanics such as Hoffmann, whose grandfather emigrated from Germany to Colombia, have neither. And increasingly common in this country are the progeny of Hispanic mothers and non-Hispanic fathers who sometimes end up with a Hispanic identity that doesn't readily reveal itself on paper. "In Latin America, people don't blink and just pronounce the name in Spanish," says Chuck Walker, Latin American history professor at the University of California at Davis. But in this country, being Hispanic often means conforming to a stereotypical name and look in both Spanish- and English-language entertainment spheres. As Hoffmann and others have found, it can be a trifle sticky in selecting careers where being Hispanic matters. Take Telemundo meteorologist John Morales. The son of an Irish-American father and Puerto Rican mother, he was born John Toohey and grew up in Puerto Rico. His name only became an issue when he moved to the U.S. mainland 14 years ago to work for Univision. A condition of the job: Ditch the "Toohey." "It wasn't a big deal. In Puerto Rico, I was 'Toohey Morales' because they use both the father's last name and the mother's," said Morales, whose legal name remains Toohey. "Toohey would've been harder for (Spanish-speaking) people here to understand. In Puerto Rico, they never could figure out how it was spelled. They spelled it 'Tui,' or think it was 'Dewey.' " Others who work in Spanish-language media admit non-Hispanic names can be challenging for their audiences but say it's really about the person not the moniker. "I don't feel anyone has to have a Spanish name. It goes much deeper than that," says personal finance guru Julie Stav, who was born Julieta Alfonso in Cuba. Years ago when she worked for PBS, people never dreamed that she was Hispanic. "I would be asked if I needed a translator for Spanish," she said. Stav is her married name, which she chose to use for family reasons. And Julie? "I hated it when (non-Hispanics) would call me 'Joo-lieta' not 'Hoo-lieta,' " recalls Stav, who does radio and TV shows and pens columns and books. 'So I became 'Joo-lee' because in Cuba, that's what they would call me." Stav knows that her audience stumbles over that surname, which she pronounces in Spanish "Estav." "One lady asked me 'Is that like 'estafa?' which means fraud in Spanish. I thought, 'Wow, here I am dealing with money and people think my name is 'estafa!' "she said. Names can be a factor in developing a career, said Raul Mateu, senior vice president of the William Morris Agency in Miami, which represents many Latin performers. "Ultimately, it doesn't make a difference if the talent is really good," he said. "There's great confusion in the general market about what is Hispanic. We have a lot of Hispanic talent with white skin and blond hair. They get sent out to casting calls and told 'You're not Hispanic enough.' But if you focus only on the look or the name, you're going to fail." Singer-actor Carlos Ponce, who has a role on The WB's "Seventh Heaven," has the name but not quite the look, which he admits has cost him a few "Latin" roles. "I'm a little lighter than the stereotype. They simply want tall, dark and handsome," he said. His solution to underscore his Hispanicism: "I thicken my accent even more," he laughs. Names are less important in offstage careers, but identity still matters. Coral Gables publicist Tadd Schwartz is quick to let people know that despite his name, he's half-Hispanic -- the son of a Cuban mother and Jewish-American father. "I've never viewed my name as my identity. I'm just as much 'Soriano' as 'Schwartz,' " Schwartz says, referring to his mother's maiden name and father's surname respectively. "But when people find out I'm Cuban, they are surprised because I don't wear my culture on my sleeve." For Colombian Hoffmann, who has a show on DirecTV called "Delicioso," has segments on Univision's "Despierta America" and writes columns for Buenhogar and the Rumbo chain of newspapers, her name has now become a point of pride. Many people have suggested she be known simply as "Ingrid," but she refuses. "It happened just the other day. I was filming a commercial for Buenhogar, and the producer says, 'Do we have to say your last name?' I said 'Yes! It's my name!' " said Hoffmann, who has a Latin lifestyle book coming out next year. "I have to be true to myself. I want to show the other side of the stereotype. We Hispanics come in different colors, faces and flavors."

FARGO, N.D. (AP) � Just as the Red River began retreating from Fargo's hastily fortified sandbag levees, the city's tired residents stared down a winter storm Monday expected to bring a half-foot of snow, powerful gusts and wind-whipped waves.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) � Just as the Red River began retreating from Fargo's hastily fortified sandbag levees, the city's tired residents stared down a winter storm Monday expected to bring a half-foot of snow, powerful gusts and wind-whipped waves.
The snowfall itself was not expected to worsen the flooding, but engineers were worried waves could crash against the levees, further weakening them. The snow is more of a concern in the southern part of the state, where some towns could receive up to 14 inches.
"We are looking at a full-blown blizzard," National Weather Service meteorologist John Paul Martin said. "It is a dangerous situation."
The Red River dropped slightly to 39 1/2 feet early Monday � less than record highs set earlier in the week but still nearly 22 feet above flood stage. City officials have said they would breathe easier when the river falls to 37 feet or lower, expected by Saturday.
It will be a long week waiting to see if the levees � quickly constructed last week by Fargo's men, women and children � can hold firm.
Helicopter crews sought to fortify the levees Sunday by dropping 11 one-ton sandbags near vulnerable areas of the dike system. Above them, an military unmanned Predator drone flew to watch flood patterns and ice floes and provide in-depth information to teams on the ground. North Dakota has more than 2,400 National Guard troops engaged in the flood fight across the state.
The helicopters focused on an area near a middle- and high-school campus that was inundated after floodwaters briefly breached a levee Sunday, causing considerable damage before officials quickly pumped out most of the water.
Crews prevented more widespread damage in nearby areas. School officials also frantically raced to rescue a cockatiel, parakeet, tortoises, iguanas and snakes kept at the school as part of its science program.
Mayor Dennis Walaker called the incident at the school a "wakeup call" and a sign of the type of flooding that could happen at any time in the coming week.
"The main event is right now, while we have this higher water. And it ain't over till it's over," said U.S. Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D. "And it ain't gonna be over until several days from now."
While officials say they have limited the damage to a small number of homes within Fargo's city limits, several outlying rural areas have seen significant flooding. Cass County sheriff's deputies toured some of these areas Sunday in giant National Guard vehicles, offering assistance to stranded residents.
They encountered a woman whose prescription drugs were about to run out, people who trudged out of their homes in waders and a couple who gladly got a lift out of the neighborhood on the Guard truck. All the while, huge sheets of ice floated over people's yards and lawn furniture and children's toys could be seen stacked up behind sandbag lines.
It was a surreal scene that reminded deputies what kind of harsh terrain they are trying to overcome.
In one of the neighborhoods, Todd Cook sent his family to town and flew in his brother from Arizona to stay at the house and fight back the water. "It was nice to see the sheriff's department come out. It makes you feel better when you know you've got people caring. You hear everything about the city, but up here we're forgotten."
Then he broke down and walked back to the house through his flooded yard.
Public works officials were closely watching to make sure water and sewer systems remained safe. Fargo's water and sewer plants are right next to the river, and are protected by a secondary dike system.
"If we lose water and sewer, the city is uninhabitable," said Fargo City Administrator Pat Zavoral.
Moorhead, a city of 30,000 directly across the river in Minnesota, also was fighting to hold back the river. A husband and wife had to be rescued by boat from their home after they became trapped on the second floor.
Moorhead Mayor Mark Voxland said he was concerned but still optimistic about how long his city's dike could last against the pressure of the river water.
The flood was caused by an enormous winter snowfall that melted and combined with more precipitation to send the river to record levels. The river flows from south to north through the tabletop terrain of North Dakota, providing few opportunities to drain.
"The place is so flat," said John Gulliver, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Minnesota. "It is totally flat so there's really no place for the water to go because it can't leave that quickly. So it just keeps backing up like a bathtub with a slow drain."
But by the time the snow from the latest storm melts, officials believe the worst of the flooding threat will have passed, at least for eastern parts of the state. More problems for central North Dakota could come later in the week, Martin said.
As the temperature rises into the 40s, the newly fallen snow will melt more quickly, he said. In Bismarck, he expected almost an inch of water on top of mostly frozen ground and ice-clogged rivers and creeks.
"The melting will be rapid ... and so that's our concern, that rivers and streams that are receding across the area will start to come back up again," Martin said.
Flooding statewide was blamed for two deaths, in central and western North Dakota, in what health officials said were apparent heart attacks brought on by flood-prevention exertion.
Fargoans gathered Sunday at several different church services, praying in thanks for the city's luck so far and seeking protection in coming days.
"At a time like this, we need to call on God's providential assistance," said pastor Bob Ona of Fargo's First Assembly of God church. "All of you have been heroic in your efforts. All of you have been pushed past the wall of weariness, exhaustion and numerous frustrations in order to do the right thing � help people in the name of the Lord."
"This is the bigger picture," parishioner Mandy Johnson said as worshippers filed into the hall. "This is something the river can't destroy."
Associated Press Writers Juliana Barbassa, Jim Suhr, Patrick Condon and James MacPherson in Fargo and Scott Bauer in Minneapolis contributed to this report.

Doctor Who to hit small screen on 1 September
Time, then, to pull on your bowtie, grab a
Pot Noodle bowl of fishfingers and custard and turn on the tellybox.
Re: FTFY
Don't forget the bag of jelly babies...
The big question
Will Karen Gillan have a future in television after this, other than the odd ghostly guest appearance?
Pot Noodle?
Heretic - should be fish fingers and custard and nowt else!
Re: Pot Noodle?
Hmm, Fish Finger and Custard Pot Noodle, now there's an idea...
Beaten to it...
but he's an AC, so in my book that doesnt count
Re: Damn
i sure apple will have a patent on it , so your out of luck on that one
Re: Damn
after all arnt fish fingers rectangular with rounded corners !!!
Doctor Who?
^^horible pun
I think this is the least excited I've ever been about a new season of Doctor who. The trailer just wasn't all that interesting, and really, Daleks again? I'm getting completely fed up with the inability to be creative with enemies and just reusing the same ones over and over. /rant
New season of MLP: FiM on the other hand...
Re: Doctor Who?
Reusing the same enemies? You know the Daleks have only had 1 episode out of the last 2 series? (OK, they've had short cameos in 2 other episodes but that's still far less screen time than other enemies).
Can't argue with you about the ponies though, I can't wait.
Re: Doctor Who?
and hasn't there been at least one daleks episode in _every_ series of Dr Who?
Dr Who without the Daleks who be like Batman without the Joker, Superman without Lex Luthor, Star Trek without Klingons, Obi Wan Kenobi without Darth Vader or Speedy Service without Bad Bird!
Dr Who without the Daleks who be like Star Trek without Klingons
Exactly. If they lose all the old baddies everyone would be complaining about that too. I think they've kept a good mix of oldies - Daleks and Cybermen are just good inventions** - and new creations... the Angels are probably the best new ones although the Ood are cool too.
**although they've done their best to screw them up making them friendly and emotional
Re: Doctor Who?
you said "and hasn't there been at least one daleks episode in _every_ series of Dr Who?"
In a word - No.
IIRC, Tom Baker did 7 years of Dr Who and met the Daleks twice - In fact, until Dr Who was revived, most Doctors didn't see the Daleks every new series of episodes. Same goes for the Cybermen as well.
Re: Doctor Who?
John Pertwee never even met the Cybermen in his 5 years as Doctor. They were only revived in the first year of Tom Baker in 1975 having last been seen Invading London in 1968 (which was when Lethbridge-Stewart was finally a Brigadier!)
Re: Doctor Who?
Bugger isn't it annoying that you spot the typo just after you've clicked submit? Jon not John of course!
Re: Doctor Who?
Cher without Sonny? Tina without Ike? :-)
Re: Cher without Sonny?
How about 'Cher without make-up and cosmetic surgery'... See now?
As for Speedy Service, I'm stil waiting for the little kid's spin-off series. Or a ruddy DVD release!
Re: Doctor Who?
Pertwee? Yes he did albeit briefly: there was a couple of seconds clip of (I think) The Moonbase cybermen used as a Miniscope realm in Carnival of Monsters.
(unashamed Who-phile) :D
Re: Cher without Sonny?
[Samurai Pizza Cats offtopic]
The little kid and his mum? that'd be an awesome show! :)
you can get a dvd, with the american voice-overs which are much more hilarious than the original scripts. But i dunno if it's official exactly.
[/Samurai Pizza Cats offtopic]
I like to be surprised when I watch stuff, so I'm not happy to see "...which will feature Amy Pond's "heartbreaking" exit..." in the first line of the article.
Oh all right, perhaps I shouldn't have clicked on the article if I didn't want to know any more.
Re: Hmph
This isn't the first time that it's been mentioned that Amy Pond is going.
Re: Hmph
Oh all right, then. If it's common knowledge I guess it was inevitable that I would come across it.
At least it saves me getting ratty when one of my family lets it slip.
Re: Hmph
Bowl of petunias..
how many times can the Daleks be exterminated?
Re: Bowl of petunias..
Fair point, but in the trailer they are imploring the Doctor to save them...
Re: Bowl of petunias..
FFS.....He's a time traveler, he is bound to bump into them in the past.
Add to that we know there are still some of the new daleks still around. Plus they could always bring some in using dalek time tunnel tech.....
Bringing back Davros would be a stretch but all else is possible.
Actually, I'm pretty curious how they're going to revive them again.
Because in the last 'full' Dalek episode (Victory of the Daleks iirc) they basically "fell" out of time and in the end returned to their own timeline but this time in full strength. To my understanding this own timeline was within the timewar.
Re: @Tom
I'm just glad to see that we seem to be agreeing that the Gay Dalek reboot never happened...
Credits finish.
Exterior alien planet (aka stone quarry in Wales somewhere).
The tardis materialises, the door opens, Amy Pond steps into view.
Blown to smithereens by dalek.
If it starts like that I'll be excited for the new series.
Amy Pond is hot, we need to see more of her! (literally)
its back kids
I just feel sorry for anyone over about 10 years old. I stopped watching the last series after 2 eps cos of all the running around shouting like in a panto .
It is a kids program after all.
Re: its back kids
...along with the "oh no, yet another rubber faced goon to play the new doctor"
Re: its back kids
"The Angels Take Manhattan"
I'm so looking forward to the Weeping Angels doing the Busby Berkeley thing down a massive staircase. "Start spreading the news, I'm petrifying today..."
Re: "The Angels Take Manhattan"
then they take Berlin.
Liked Amy...
...didn't like Rory. Changed the whole Doctor-assistant dynamic, having him around, made the whole thing seem more teen soap than anything else, so I stopped watching after about five or six episodes. I might give it another shot with the new assistant.
Re: Liked Amy...
I quite liked Rory. Well, the Doctor/Rory interplay anyway, not so much the Rory / Amy stuff. The way the Doctor would just nod at Rory to tell him to go after Amy, or tell him secrets about stuff in a low voice... it rather reminded me of the relationship he had with Ian Chesterton - a kind of unvoiced, shared chivalry when things got dangerous.
Heartbreaking Exit? (Speculation)
I am confused if Amy is going to exit in this episode. Whilst it seems possible, the trailer for the series shows her in several other episodes - one with dinosaurs and one (seemingly) set in the Wild West. It seems doubtful that either or both of these are the Asylum of the Daleks episode this one (apparently) is. So either she carries on after her exit or we're being misinformed about her leaving in this episode.
Re: Heartbreaking Exit? (Speculation)
I think the article is saying that she departs during this season, not the first episode of the season.
If the new companion doesn't appear until the xmas special then I'm guessing we've got a whole lotta Amy Pond-age for at least 12 of the 13 episodes in this season.
Re: Heartbreaking Exit? (Speculation)
Thanks. That lead into the article could do with some clean-up if that's what they meant.
Also - gah: more Amy Pond. Liked her at first, but she got really boring about half way through her first season for me. She was great in The Girl Who Waited, though. One of the few good episodes of Season Six, imo.
Re: Heartbreaking Exit? (Speculation)
Not 12 or 13 - just the 5 listed before the Christmas episode - the rest are due "in the Spring" and then it'll be all systems go for the 50th anniversary in the autumn.
Re: Heartbreaking Exit? (Speculation)
This is apparently to be a split season, with a break over Christmas, when the Christmas Special will be shown.
It's all to do with lining up the timing for the 50th Anniversary next year, both broadcast dates and production schedule.
Re: Heartbreaking Exit? (Speculation)
Except that the series is split 5 Xmas Special , 7 in the new year sometime.
The Ponds are leaving at the end of the 5th Ep.
Pond-age, now theres a thought!!!
Interesting Show Titles
I wonder if the titles from which these titles seem to be derived give any hints as to how the shows will play... Nah!
Asylum of the Daleks = Asylum of the Damned
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship = Snakes on a Plane
A Town Called Mercy = A Town Called Panic (or A Town Called Malice)
The Power of Three = The Power of Six
The Angels Take Manhattan = Jason Takes Manhattan (or the Muppets, or any number of others)
Re: Interesting Show Titles
Debbie Does Davros?
Western episode
Out of curiosity - anybody else think the cyborg thing in the western episode looks a bit like Kryten? Now there's a crossover episode.
I'll get me own coat.
why ?
another load of over hyped dull repetetive crud from the bbc.
actors who cannot act,script writers with no imagination but makes the bbc loads of cash for licenceing shitty plastic toys.
cor,what a wonderful service the bbc provide.
repeat,repeat,over blown olympics that a decent student geek group could do better,repeat,repeat.
dull expensive service that i will be glad not to have to pay for when i get rid of tv next year.

Wraps Up Year Long Run on Sunday, September 6th
This afternoon, On the Town played its final performance at the Lyric Theatre. This old-fashioned but fun-loving musical concludes its run today after playing 368 performances in addition to 28 preview performances. Other than the original production in 1944, this makes this revival the longest running to date. When the show began previews on September 20, 2014, and in anticipation of its opening night on October 16, 2014, many doubted whether this musical from the 1940s would catch hold with audiences today, especially in the gigantic Lyric Theatre, which is better suited for large spectacle style shows such as Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark and the upcoming Cirque du Soleil show, Paramour. However, the show did defy expectations by holding on for almost a year, granted not without some very low box office performance weeks, and no recognition wins the Tony committee (despite four nominations). With a capitalization of $8.5 million, the show was on the cheaper size for musicals on Broadway; however, that is still a large amount of money to pay back to investors with a very expensive house to run each week.
Misty Copeland Steps in For Final 12 Performances
Although the show has struggled financially at the box office, it will go out with a final huzzah. Misty Copeland, who has recently made headlines for being named the first African American principal dancer of the American Ballet Theater, stepped into to replace Megan Fairchild for the final 12 performances, from August 25, 2015 to September 6, 2015. Indeed, this did cause a major uplift in the box office. In her first week of performances alone, the show saw an increase of ticket sales in the amount of $519,055, more than doubling the previous week's gross of $395,379 to reach an almost all-time high of $914,434. Though the final week's box office performance has not yet been reported, with the combination of this being the final week to catch the show, along with the last and limited chance to see Misty Copeland in this role, chances are that sales will continue to be strong.
A Crowdfunding Attempt, But a Financial Letdown
With a capitalization of $8.5 million, the lead producers Howard and Janet Kagan tried an unusual tactic in raising funds for the production. They turned to crowdfunding, which is not unprecedented on Broadway, but it is certainly unusual. They opened a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Wealthforge, where they managed to raise just $500,000 of the $8.5 million budget. The Kagans did not intend to raise the whole amount on the site; wide press coverage stated that they would be pleased if they raised just $1 million or $2 million in that way. One benefit was that 2013 rule change allowed the producers to publicly advertise this investment opportunity, which allowed people to invest in Broadway who were not already in the know. However, this did not turn out to yield much advantage for these producers, because the show has come far from making back its initial investment. Over the 35 weeks of box office figures thus far reported (excepting the final week), the average percentage reached of the gross potential each week was only 31.00%. Furthermore, the average paid admission was only $62.94, demonstrating a large amount of discounting. Though the show did manage to stay open much longer than many expected, it was certainly not a financial success.

Maryland transit advocates are heartened to see that the budget proposed by President Obama earlier this week includes $100 million in capital funding for the planned 14.1-mile light rail Red Line from Woodlawn to Bayview and $100 million for the planned 16-mile Purple Line from Bethesda to New Carrollton.
What, specifically, does this mean for Maryland?
Most advocates and state officials applaud this as validation of impending federal funding support for these transit projects, while some skeptics voice caution.
The budget recommendation "is an important initial step to keep the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) on track to finalize a public-private partnership agreement for the Purple Line and to allow MTA to advertise construction contracts for the Red Line," Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary Jim Smith said in a news release.
As Smith indicated, for the Baltimore region this is viewed as strong evidence that Federal Transit Administration (FTA) officials will recommend a full-funding agreement to Congress for approximately $900 million in federal funding for the $2.6 billion Red Line project. Maryland Transit Administration officials are currently working with federal officials to gain full-funding approval this year.
Nevertheless, skeptics contend that the passage of the Obama Administration budget, in which the Red Line and Purple Line funding is imbedded, is far from certain. They contend that this budget – which exceeds spending limits set by Congress and seeks passage of controversial proposals to increase taxes on high income earners – is going nowhere.
The Republican House has dismissed this budget as a political document for use by the President for his remaining years in office.
So, for the Red Line and Purple Line funding, which is it? Is it just politics? Or does it mean the actual positioning of these projects for execution, in the near term, for the all-important full-funding grant agreement?
I suggest it's a little of both. Nothing coming out of Washington is free from politics, but policy statements do emerge in budget submissions. And the inclusion of Red Line and Purple Line funding is a very strong policy statement.
It's also worth noting that budgeted capital funding for transportation infrastructure has rarely, if ever, been cut in a Congressional fight over federal operational spending.
The FTA has clearly indicated that the Red Line and the Purple Line are firmly positioned for federal full-funding agreements. And over the years Congress has always honored these commitments.
During the past 10 years, both projects have undergone a thorough vetting process by the federal government as required in the Congressionally-mandated New Starts process. The Red Line and the Purple Line are two of only seven new projects across the country recommended by the FTA for full-funding grant agreements in this year's proposed budget.
Among other things, this serves to deflate some skeptics' contention that Maryland will never be able to keep two major transit projects in the mix for federal funding.
Political posturing and inside the-Beltway speculation aside, this is another incremental step to celebrate. Major capital infrastructure projects are a multi-year process, and incremental success is worthy of celebration. It's not yet time to declare victory in our state's quest to gain federal funding for the Red and Purple lines, but it's better to be on the list for funding than not on the list.
For Baltimore's Red Line, this validates its financial and ridership projections and clears the way for the state to finish negotiating a full-funding agreement defining the project's cost, schedule and conditions for MTA's management of the project.
The Red Line's presence on the priority list demonstrates that federal officials recognize the critical need for this project.
It's the most effective transit proposal for our region in more than a generation and has long been the top transit priority advocated by business and civic leaders at the Greater Baltimore Committee and by the overwhelming majority of the region's transit advocates.
It's the east-west connection that will finally make the entire Baltimore rail transit system greater than the sum of its parts.
In transforming transit options in the region, it will greatly enhance mobility and serve as a catalyst for economic growth.
It will bring Baltimore into the company of such cities as Boston, Portland, and Seattle where transit provides efficient and convenient access to jobs, education and entertainment to thousands of residents through systems that use a combination of surface transit and tunneling.
Last year's passage of increased transportation funding by Maryland lawmakers demonstrated our state's commitment to transportation infrastructure. Hopefully Congress will find a way to do the same.

For every skier and rider on the hill using the chair lifts, you must purchase a Powderhorn lift ticket or have a season pass. Tickets can be purchased from the window(s) that are in the Base Lodge on what is their first floor, facing the slopes. Here are the listed prices for the 2017-18 ski season.
Discount Powderhorn Lift Tickets
We typically have Powderhorn discount lift tickets if you are able to book online a little bit in advance (typically a day or two). The discounts are usually just a few dollars off per day because Powderhorn had the cheapest prices in the whole state this year. But every little bit can help if you have a big group or are skiing several days with a family.
You might look at some particular sections of prices and wonder what Powderhorn's problem is, but we'd like to offer a little explanation. First, as mentioned, their prices are among the lowest in the state. You literally could not find a cheaper window rate in Colorado than at Powderhorn during 2017-18. (There were some cheaper discounts to other mountains like Loveland and Arapahoe Basin, but as far as window rates, they were the cellar.) Second, all resorts have ski pass calculus that they play with their clientele. Some hills attract seniors, some attract children, some draw families, some couples, some locals, and so on.
If you are used to kids 5 and under skiing free at other resorts, yes that is typically the norm. But there are other things at play at those resorts.
If you are accustomed to skiing free if you are over 70, yes that is also the norm at other resorts.
But let us refer you back to their overall pricing, which, again, is the cheapest. Other resorts have enormous, bloated lift pass prices, such as Vail's $159/day window rate, twice that of Powderhorn's. Your little ones and super-seniors ski free there but everyone else is being taken to the cleaners. Powderhorn prices the way they do because they feel that an overall lower price and charging everyone who is using the lifts is the most attractive offer to the consumer, while also economical enough to keep the hill open.
Powderhorn Half Day Lift Tickets
As with every mountain, Powderhorn offers half day lift tickets and even quarter day. Better still—and this is unusual for most resorts—they offer a half day pass in the morning, which is excellent. While it's easy to show up late to any resort, often people aren't leaving first thing in the morning and want to ski a few runs without paying for the whole day. Powderhorn recognizes this and rewards you mighty skiers who want to squeeze every drop out of their time here.
900a – 1200p: $43
1200p – 400p: $54
200p – 400p: $35
Powderhorn has Season Passes that usually go on sale starting in late February and will often continue on through the start of the following season, up to the point where it no longer becomes viable for either party. Read more about Powderhorn Season Passes.
Powderhorn offers discounts for specific categories of people, who often get discounts in other venues beyond skiing. They are listed below. Click if you would like to get more details on any category.

Microsoft on Wednesday halted further development on its KIN phones and will instead incorporate the KIN team and technologies into its broader Windows Phone efforts. As a result, the KIN will not ship via Vodafone in Europe later this year as originally announced. Meanwhile, Verizon Wireless claims that the KIN devices are still "an important part" of its mobile phone portfolio.
"We have made the decision to focus exclusively on Windows Phone 7 and we will not ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned," a statement from Microsoft reads. "Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the US to sell current KIN phones."
Microsoft announced the KIN One and KIN Two in April and then launched the phones via Verizon Wireless in the US in late May. The devices have reportedly sold poorly despite a massive publicity campaign, and Verizon this week announced deep price cuts of both phones.
Sitting somewhere between a traditional feature phone and a true smartphone, the KIN suffered from a perception problem, and its target market—teens and tweens who couldn't afford such a device but would have to rely instead on their parents—was nebulous as well. That Verizon priced the KIN at the extravagant levels of a true smartphone couldn't have helped matters either.
While some have tried to suggest that the KIN's sudden demise is a bad omen for Windows Phone, the reality is that no consumers even equate KIN with Windows Phone or Microsoft. The only real question here is why Microsoft launched KIN at all. As I noted last week, Microsoft's mobile strategy isn't a strategy, it's a mess. By killing the KIN, Microsoft took one small step to simplify matters.

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – North Texas police thought they might have stumbled upon another Boston-style bomber.
A Fort Worth teenager who'd been pulled over had a pressure cooker and some odd ingredients with him.
It all started Friday, April 19, when a homeless man called authorities to report he had was stranded at a Wichita Falls intersection, after the man he had gotten a ride from ran out of gas.
When police responded they say the driver, 17-year-old Frank Reynolds from Fort Worth, was acting strangely and appeared to be high. They searched his car and found K-2 and a pipe.
In his trunk, they found all the makings of a bomb: a pressure cooker, fertilizer, fireworks, electrical connectors and other items that could be components of an explosive device.
The Archer County Sheriff's office called the FBI to investigate, as this discovery was made…

SO's mate asked him to help put together a trampoline today. SO had to go in to work until 12, his friend has to start work at 3, so they only have a 3 hour window of opportunity. SO's friend lives a 10 minute drive (if that) from where SO works. We live a 30 minute round trip from work and the mate's place. SO finished work and called me for a ride. We have the one car between us, and I needed it this morning so I dropped him at work (besides that, he probably had too much Christmas cheer yesterday to safely drive – he's probably fine but why risk it?). So I go and pick him up and say I'm not mad at him, just annoyed that is he doing a favour for this friend and his friend should have offered to pick him up, seeing as though he's so much closer and would take him 10 minutes. SO is now pissy at me, I reiterated that I'm not mad at SO. He's still cranky.
I don't know, I don't think I'm out of line, the friend had to drive right past where SO works to get home!
Would it annoy you?

3 Quick and easy tips for buying French wine
Through the many years that I've been in the wine industry, many friends, clients and acquaintances have told me that they don't normally buy French wines. They don't know what to buy, don't know much about them or think that the wines are expensive.
Buying French wine doesn't need to be complicated or expensive. If you aren't drinking or buying French wines, you're missing out on some of the best wines — and deals! — in the wine world.
3 Big reasons to buy French wines — and why you'll love them:
1. You don't need to be an expert
Go somewhere with a good international wine selection — preferably not a supermarket — and ask the knowledgeable salesperson to direct you to some affordable red, white or sparkling French wines. Help them help you by telling them what wines you typically tend to like best. This will help them pick something suited to your palate.
Tip: Great areas for awesome, cheap whites are: Loire for Sauvignon Blancs; Gascogny for aromatic bright whites; and Muscadet, (which is also in Loire but made from Melon de Bourgogne or Muscadet grapes), or crisp, super light, simple whites classically paired with oysters and seafood (but great for a sunny porch).
2. France has a ton of inexpensive, amazing wine
Some of the best wines I drink are also some of the cheapest, and they are from France
You can get a great little French white for as low as $8-12( though I typically stick to between $10-$14), and a great dry crisp Rose for a starting price of around $13. There are cheaper Roses but I find $13 to be the starting point for much better ones. The best sparkling wines, called Crémant in France, will be a bit more, but you can still often find a very good one for between $14 to $20. You don't have to spend over $20 if you are not so inclined.
Tip: When looking for easy-to-drink reds at a great price point, stay away from trying to find a bottle from the more known areas like Bordeaux or Burgundy. These might be the most heard of areas in France, but they also have the most expensive wines — and often limited production. Try for a bottle from the Rhône or Costières de Nîmes, where you'll find lots of Grenache- and Syrah-based blends of easy-to-drink reds at great pricepoints.
For reds, I typically stick to $13 and up. Cheaper can be a crap shoot.
3. They pair easily with almost everything
French wines are low in alcohol and high in acidity, which means that they are very easy to pair with food. It doesn't need to be a super specific pairing for these wines to shine. Drink a light white before dinner for an aperitif, medium-bodied whites and reds with most meals and heavier-bodied reds with rich foods.
For example, I bring out a bottle of inexpensive, light French white wine or Rose before dinner for an aperitif wine and then again during salad, seafood or light-fare courses.
I put out the easy-to-drink reds for the whole meal. They seamlessly work with anything on the table because affordable French reds are mostly unoaked or very lightly oaken, simple wines without insanely tight tannins and a lot of complexity
Tip: If you want a more complex, full-bodied, tannic red, consider a higher price range, from $15 to $25. Stay away from Bordeaux and Burgundy and look for red wines from elsewhere in France. You get a lot of bang for your buck with wines from other areas in this price range. If you stick to the areas known for producing affordable wines, you can get some fantastic, complex wines you'll be surprised didn't cost more — and would cost far more for similar quality in the United States.

Caroline Raspberry
Bigger and Better Raspberries
Caroline is a variety of everbearing raspberry of exceptional quality. Plant a patch to eat fresh or freeze for later. You can even make some into jams, preserves, pies, cobblers and sauce…the possibilities are endless!
The new standard for fall-bearing raspberries, your Caroline has far better flavor and much larger berries, making this raspberry literally the one to pick if you're planning a new patch.
You'll be amazed at the productivity of your Caroline when you see your plants literally laden with fruit each year. Caroline ripens in late August, producing large, conic berries with a pronounced raspberry taste well into fall. If you're in a warmer climate you can start picking these tasty jewels as early as June.
Caroline Raspberry will grow 4-6 feet in height with a 4-foot spread. It's a hardy variety, able to fend off root rot and yellow rust better than Heritage, and that's just for starters. It's self-fertile, has good heat and humidity tolerance and deer tend to leave it alone.
Raspberries have become increasingly popular for their nutritional and antioxidant properties. They are a rich source of vitamin C as well as being high in manganese and dietary fiber. Eat them for both taste and health…and grow Caroline for one of the best varieties available for your home.

Wild places under threat
Great places across the country could be ruined as a result of Congress terminating the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Lands policy and by a bill proposed by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
Both seek to open up Wilderness-quality lands – those untrammeled places protected by The Wilderness Act of 1964 – to development, mining and other destructive uses. They also attack lands deemed Inventoried Roadless Areas, which are not allowed to be developed. The following is a glance at just a number of places now facing grave threats.
Wild places under threat
- Bright Star Wilderness proposed additions
- Caliente Mountain proposed wilderness in Carrizo Plain National Monument
- Bodie WSA
- Skedaddle WSA
- Fish Canyon Inventoried Roadless Area (IRA) – Angeles National Forest
- Sheep Mountain -- Angeles National Forest
- Orleans Mountain – connects Trinity Alps and Marble Mountain Wilderness Areas – Klamath National Forest
- Castle Peak – Tahoe National Forest
- West Cold Spring WSA
- Meadow Creek, Nez Perce National Forest
- Peace Rock Roadless, Boise National Forest
- Badger Two Medicine roadless lands
- Gallatin Range WSA
- Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn WSA between Bozeman and Yellowstone
- Wall Canyon Wilderness Study Area (WSA)
- Alder Creek
- Burbank Canyons
New Mexico
- Petaca Pinta WSA
- Santa Fe Watershed IRA
North Carolina
- Overflow WSA in the Nantahala National Forest
- Burning Hills WSA
- Carcass Canyon WSA – Eastern Garfield and Kane Counties
At risk are cherished places within Utah's red rock country:
- Parunuweap Canyon
- Paria/Hackberry – nearly half released
- Jack Canyon – entirely released
- Moquith Mountain – entirely released
- Devil's Canyon – entirely released
- Winter Ridge within the Book Cliffs
- Teanaway IRA in the North Cascades, on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest
- Tiffany IRA
- Kettle Crest IRA of the Colville National Forest

The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is a facility used to store Transuranic (TRU) waste. TRU waste began accumulating in the 1940s with the beginning of the nation's nuclear defense program. As early as the 1950s, the National Academy of Sciences recommended deep-geologic disposal of TRU wastes in stable formations, such as deep salt beds. Sound environmental practices and strict regulations require such wastes to be isolated to protect human health and the environment. For this reason the WIPP site is located in the Chihuahuan desert of New Mexico, far from major population areas.
The U.S. Department of Energy has established a system for safely transporting TRU waste to the WIPP site for permanent disposal. The waste is transported in 4 shipping containers approved for use by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). These containers consist of the TRUPACT II, TRUPACT III, HalfPACT, and the RH-72B.

Dallas is not just home to the Cowboys, it also houses Marc Sparks and his firm which complements his work as a serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist. Timber Creek Capital is the name of the company, and they have moved offices only a few years ago in order to help with the collaboration and teamwork necessary to really get energy flowing and ideas materializing. If one takes a look at the Mark Spark's premises it appears to be like something off of Spark Tank, where all of the great ideas in Texas come for a shot at making it big.
Marc Sparks understands the recipe to winning if his resume of successes is any indication to the fact. He is continually dispensing wisdom with such advice as "The process of starting a business begins with building a business model and acquiring the resources to ensure success." That is certainly good advice, and he took the Timber Creek Capital to the newest location in order that there would be no corners cut when providing an exciting environment for the incubation of ideas and concepts. People work better when they can be enthusiastic about where they are and where they are going.Learn more : http://www.fundacity.com/marc-sparks
The allusions to the popular hit tv show are not all simply comparisons either. Marc Sparks has recently collaborated with Lynne Sipiora in order to create and launch a venture by a similar name: "Spark Tank." The great work that will be done there amounts to awarding grants to smaller non-profit organizations that have improving the community around them as one of their main premises. They are now (April/May 2017) calling for all Dallas-based non-profits to submit a proposal so that they can be considered for one of the many $5000 grants which will be given to help organizations.
The Spark Tank panel will review the proposals of interested organizations who have been in operation for at least two years. The panel will watch a 10-minute presentation and then there will be a question and answer session for another 10 minutes. The potential impact is going to be one of the highest considerations as well as the ability of the organization to measure that impact. Through initiatives where it can be proven that positive change is happening then everyone involved will know that their efforts are being directed properly. Marc Sparks continues to add his contributions to Dallas and other areas in Texas and the nation.

Sept. 17, 2003
Florida State junior defender Katie Beal is having quite a week. First she scores her first collegiate goal in a game where she totaled six points. Then the Alexandria, VA native is named Florida State soccer's player of the week and to cap it all off she was named to the Soccer America Team of the Week Wednesday. This is Beal's first-ever national player of the week honor.
Beal had a career day as she helped Florida State to a much-needed blow out win over San Diego State at the KUStore.com Crimson & Blue Invitational. The defender scored the first two goals of her career, both off free kicks, and also assisted on two others as she tallied six points and played a role in four of FSU's six goals. Her six points in one game were two better than the four points she had accumulated in her previous 45 games combined. She also came within two points of setting the all-time FSU record for points in a game. Her six points were the third most ever recorded in a game by an FSU player and the most points in a game ever by a Seminole defender. The last Seminole to record six points in a game was Leah Gallegos who did it with a hat trick against Clemson last season. Beal was the first player since 1995 and just the second Seminole ever to get to six points with more than one assist.
"I thought she (Katie Beal) had a good start to the season. As we have stepped out, just like our team, Katie is getting better and better," said Baker. "We are asking her to do a lot. We are asking her to organize our defense, to make a lot of decisions on dead ball and set piece situations and we feel like she is doing a really nice job for us. I think people are seeing that she is more than just a good defender. She is a good passer, she has dimensions in going forward and I think we were able to see a little more of what we can become as a team when Katie plays the way she did this past weekend."
Beal assisted on FSU's first goal of the SDSU game as the defender played a perfect pass over the top of the defense to a streaking Julia Schnugg. The freshman took a touch wide of the keeper and buried the shot. Her first career goal came with just 44 seconds remaining in the first half when SDSU was whistled for a hand ball about 22 yards out from goal. Beal stepped up and bent the free kick around the wall and past Pearson for the first goal of her three-year Seminole career. Beal extended the FSU lead to 5-0 in the 62nd minute with another free kick goal. This one was from about 19 yards out. Beal put the shot right where she scored her first goal of the game, beating Pearson with a shot into the upper right corner. Less than six minutes later Beal racked up her sixth point of the game. This time she assisted Gallegos' third goal of the year. Her goal kick was played right onto the foot of a striding Gallegos in the final third on the left side. Gallegos dribbled the keeper and then fired into an empty net for a 6-0 FSU lead.
"She (Beal) played well against Kansas even though we gave up some goals," said Baker. "She did a nice job of receiving and playing balls, dealing with a lot of pressure and just making good decisions that allowed us to get forward. Her decisions allowed us to get into the attack with just one pass.
"Her service on the first goal versus San Diego State was just a wonderful ball to Julia (Schnugg). In my opinion Katie did the hard part by just getting the ball there and Julia finished it off with a great first touch. To have that vision and then be technical enough to get it down is special. She also scored on two set pieces for us and you could tell after the first one that she was going to be hitting them all morning."
You can Beal in action this weekend at the 2003 Nike Seminole Classic at the Seminole Soccer Complex. The Tribe is joined by 2002 NCAA Tournament team and 21st ranked Mississippi (6-0-0), Miami (4-3-0) and Jacksonville (2-3). Jacksonville and Mississippi kick the tournament off Friday, September 19 at 4:30 p.m. The Seminoles will renew their in-state rivalry with the Canes at 7:00 p.m. that evening. Sunday's games begin at 11:30 a.m. as the Canes and Dolphins square off before the re-match of last year's NCAA Tournament opener, between the Rebels and Seminoles. The Tribe won that first round game 2-0 last year.
All the tournament action is free and all the games will be played at the Seminole Soccer Complex. For more information on the Nike Seminole Classic or the Florida State soccer team, please logon to the official athletic website for FSU at www.seminoles.com.

Private auditors predicted to 'cut costs by 40%'
Public body The Audit Commission has announced the provisional winners of its 10 outsourced regional contracts, which is predicted to bring savings of 'up to 40%'
DA Partnership, the proposed employee-owned spin-off arm from the Audit Commission, won only one contract and will now launch as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mazars. It will take on the north east and north Yorkshire contract as Mazars DA.
Grant Thornton has been appointed on four contracts with a total estimated value of £41.3m. The mid-sized firm will take on about 300 former staff from the Commission.
The Audit Commission will retain a small stable of staff to oversee the contracts, but most of its former staff will transfer to the contract winners.
Of the Big Four only Ernst & Young and KPMG were awarded any of the regional contracts.
Staff at the Commission agreed last week to end industrial action over the transfer of staff to the private sector. An 'reasonable compromise' was agreed between the government and the Prospect Union after more than 500 staff were involved in the action.
The Commission's chief executive, Eugene Sullivan said awarding contracts to the private sector was a "pivotal point" in the history of public service. "We will be losing a distinctive, and publicly-owned, local public audit service and its district auditors who have helped to protect the public purse effectively for over a hundred and fifty years," he said.
Gareth Davies, the former head of the Audit Commission's practice who led the bid from the DA partnership, said it had not achieved the "dream of a mutual audit practice".
Davies will join Mazars as head of public services to lead the new venture, along with a team of former Audit Commission advisors led by Mark Fletcher.
Proposed contract awards are:
• Grant Thornton, a total notional of £41.3m a year covering four contract areas in the North West, West Midlands, London (South) Surrey & Kent, and South West
• KPMG a total notional value of £23.1m a year covering three contract areas in Humberside & Yorkshire, East Midlands, and London (North)
• Ernst & Young LLP a total notional value of £20m a year covering two contract areas in Eastern and South East
• DA Partnership Ltd a total notional value of £5m a year covering one contract area in the North East & North Yorkshire.
The government says that there will be an expected £250m – circa 40% – fall in audit fees for most local public bodies over five years.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria is preparing to execute a man who was dragged to the gallows and watched four fellow death-row inmates being hanged earlier this week, Amnesty International and Nigerian human rights lawyers said Wednesday.
Thankgod Ebhos won a brief respite because his sentence by a military tribunal called for him to be shot by a firing squad.
"Cruel and inhumane do not even begin to describe the nightmare situation facing this man," said Lucy Freeman, deputy Africa director of London-based Amnesty International.
She said it indicates "the spectacularly brutal nature of Nigeria's sudden return to state-sponsored killing."
Nigeria has not carried out the death sentence since 2006 under a self-imposed moratorium.
This week's hangings come two weeks after President Goodluck Jonathan urged state governors to sign death warrants because it was the law.
"Even governors sometimes find it difficult to sign," he said in a Father's Day speech. But, he added, "The works we are doing have a very sweet part and a very ugly part and we must perform both. No matter how painful it is, it is part of their responsibilities."
A presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe, did not respond to calls and messages asking why Jonathan made the statement. It comes as Nigeria confronts the deadliest threat in years to its security, from an Islamist insurgency and holds a sixth of the country in the northeast under a state of emergency and military crackdown.
European Union High Representative Catherine Ashton on Wednesday called for governors not to sign death warrants, and for authorities to refrain from further executions.
She said the hangings counter commitments by Nigerian authorities, most recently at an EU-Nigeria human rights dialogue in March, to maintain the moratorium on executions.
On Monday, Governor Adams Oshiomole of southern Edo state signed two death warrants and other governors signed warrants for three other prisoners. Within hours, all four were hanged at the state capital's Benin City Prison, Edo state Attorney General Osagie Obayuwana has confirmed, adding that they had exhausted all their appeals.
But there are numerous appeals pending before the Supreme Court, including one filed hours before the executions, making the hangings a violation of Nigeria's own laws, said human rights lawyer Chino Obiagwu of the Legal Defense and Assistant Project.
All five men had been on death row for at least 16 years under sentences issued by courts when Nigeria was under a military dictatorship notorious for its unfair trials and for torturing prisoners to sign confessions, said Angela Uwandu, Nigeria director for the French group Lawyers Without Borders, or Avocats Sans Frontieres.
She told The Associated Press that police and security forces continue to use torture to extract confessions, causing serious pain, psychological trauma and physical deformity.
In addition, she said judges hands are tied because capital punishment is mandatory for murder and armed robbery.
She also charged the country has a flawed and sometimes corrupt justice system that disproportionately targets the poor.
"When you have a situation where the only ones in prison and the only ones on death row are those who do not have the means to employ the services of a lawyer of their choice, that for me is a huge problem," she said.
Nigeria had not executed anyone since 2006, though many have been sentenced to death. In fact, few people have been executed since democratically elected governments in 1999 took over from harsh military dictatorships, in part because governors are reluctant to sign death warrants, Uwandu said.
It's not known how many thousands of convicted criminals and others were executed by firing squad under the military.
Nigerian security forces still are accused of hundreds of extrajudicial killings, charges the military denies.
Nigeria had 1,039 people on death row by Jan. 31 this year, according to the latest figures from the prison administration. On that date, there were 50,900 inmates of whom 46,800 were awaiting trial, some of them for years. Trials themselves can last seven years because of numerous adjournments, according to Uwandu.
Some of those hanged Monday had been in jail for 20 years and more, Obiagwu said.
Those hanged are: Richard Igagu, 49, arrested in 1991 and sentenced in 1995; Chima Ijiofor, 43, arrested in 1994 and sentenced in 1998; Osarenmwinda Aiguokhian, 49, arrested in 1993 and sentenced in 1996; Daniel Nsofor would have been just 18 years old when he was arrested in 1992. He was convicted two years later.
Calls and messages to Edo state officials went unanswered Wednesday, so it was impossible to get any information about the possible fate of the fifth man, Thankgod Ebhos.
Associated Press Writer Bashir Adigun contributed to this report from Abuja, Nigeria.

Elgato were showing their eyetv for DTT and eyetv hybrid units to the Mac public. Visitors were paying a LOT of attention to Elgato's offerings, with stand employees reporting massive interest.
The eyetv hybrid unit is a small USB stick device, which has both digital and analogue tuner. The software looks great, with some bug improvements of late. Scheduling for recording to your Mac is really easy. The years free subscription to tvtv (an online programme guide) means that you can schedule recordings from anywhere you have internet access. I was impressed with the picture quality that I saw.
Of note, a new product called 'eyetv diversity' is soon to be available. Units should be shipping about mid-November. This new product costs £109.99 and offers two tuners. So you can record one channel whilst watching another, or record two channels and play back a recording at the same time. Another feature is the ability to combine both tuners into one 'super tuner' for increased signal reception.
Also coming mid-November is a software update that gives you 'Picture in Picture' (PiP). This fits in well with the new 'eyetv diversity' as it has two tuners. With the other products PiP will still work, displaying a live channel inside a recording you are playing back. You could also add another single tuner stick to your set-up to get similar PiP functionality to 'eyetv diversity'.
A full review of 'eyetv diversity' will be on its' way soon after the product starts shipping.

Bill and Hillary Clinton may be following the same path of Eric Cantor.
What do Bill and Hillary Clinton have to do with Cantor? I'm including Bill here because he's just as much as part of this campaign as she is. Let me explain. It is the typical year of the establishment strikes back. It's 2014, the year where Mitch McConnell will crush the tea party. McConnell and company strikes hard and kills. They eviscerated primary challenges up and down the ballot. Dave Brat is toast like countless other tea party insurgents. Like Hillary, Eric Cantor is too powerful. Cantor is the majority leader. He has too much money and influence. Brat is a mosquito headed toward the establishment bug zapper. Cantor is counting on his campaign of intimidation. A flood of negative ads will strike a death blow to Dave Brat. Cantor is counting on voters and Dave Brat's campaign to be passive. He counted wrong.
Bill and Hillary Clinton and their negative attack ads are doing more damage to her than to Donald Trump.
When you hit the nuclear button, you run the risk of getting blown to smithereens. Coincidentally, That is exactly what Bill and Hillary Clinton are doing to Trump in these political ads. The constant barrage of bimbos that the press is lining up for Hillary is adding fuel to that fire. Remember that line you've heard from a couple of presidential campaigns back from Bill Clinton? "Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find." Regardless if you think Trump is or is not a womanizer, nobody believes these allegations anymore.
Let's make the connection with Eric Cantor and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
From 2014, here's Dave Brat's reaction to Cantor's ridiculous ads against him:
take our poll - story continues belowCompleting this poll grants you access to The Constitution updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Trending: Former Australian Politician Gives Life to Christ at 85 After Lifetime of Atheism
"The negative ads calling me a liberal professor at first they started off with kind of comic strips," Brat said in an interview here late Tuesday night. "And everyone kind of liked them. Me and my boy watched them the first night and kind of died laughing. We thought they were funny."
"They gave me $1 million in name ID and I think that got us going, I think. I'm not a political expert on that, but I think they kind of saw that was happening and they made those a little darker, and they were black and green and looked like a Star Wars thing by the time they got done with it – it made me look like a pretty serious guy."
Ironically, it is laughable for Bill and Hillary Clinton to sit there trying to dump dirty laundry on Trump. Because, this is the same Hillary Clinton who has a Bill Clinton problem and now an Anthony Wiener problem. Hillary is going to sit there and tell us she is for women rights? Everyone and their mother know that Hillary has been putting out sexual assault and rape fires for Clinton for years. Unfortunately for her, the media can't help her no more. Hillary, like Cantor, has gone overboard with dumping on Trump, and it will cost her the election.
