The House of Representatives has said that pending the conclusion of its in-house investigation into the N44 million corruption scandal rocking the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the House Committee on Capital Market, inflammatory comments from both parties are inappropriate as it can affect the outcome of the matter.
The House spokesman, Hon. Zakari Mohammed, who stated this at a media briefing yestersday, said it was necessary that all parties involved in the matter should give the Ethics and Privileges Committee of the House the benefit of doubt and wait for its report on the bribery allegation.
Alongside ongoing investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Samson Osagie-led Ethics and Privileges Committee is expected to present a report on the bribery allegation in 21 days.
Also, the ousted Hon. Herman Hembe-led panel and the Director-General, SEC, Ms. Arunmah Oteh, are expected at the EFCC office in Abuja today.
Mohammed said, "The committee has 21 days to work on the matter and I can assure you that there will be fair hearing for all the parties involved."
''SEC should caution its spokesman from issuing inflammatory statements on this issue as Hon.Hembe has kept silent, waiting for the outcome of the panel's report.
"Anything the concerned parties say now will go a long way in distorting what is on ground because is just like a matter in the court."

Tonight's Picks
She's All That
A variation on "Pygmalion," this somewhat dated, for-teens-only1999 romantic comedy stars Rachael Leigh Cook as a wallflower who suddenly blossoms. She's taken under the wing of a high-school peer (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and he ends up falling for her. Kevin Pollak, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Kieran Culkin, Elden Henson, Matthew Lillard and Anna Paquin co-star.
American Reunion
Virtually all of the original "American Pie" cast is back in a 2012 sequel that's pretty successful in recapturing the first film's spirit -- which means you're free to skip it if you never developed a taste for "Pie." Jim (Jason Biggs) is adjusting to parenthood with wife Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) and debating what to do about a younger woman's apparent advances. Seann William Scott comes close to stealing the show again as Stifler.
Just Go With It
Just go without it unless you're a big fan of Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston or romantic comedies in general. Sandler plays a plastic surgeon who learns how problematic a lie can become. A tall tale he tells his new love interest (Brooklyn Decker) escalates, and he has to produce a soon-to-be-ex-wife; he enlists an office assistant (Aniston) to fill the role. Nicole Kidman has a surprising comedic turn.
Family Tools
Jack and Darren (Kyle Bornheimer, Edi Gathegi) are trapped together inside a client's home, which gives them the opportunity to get at the root of their differences. Tony, Terry, Mason and Stitch (J.K. Simmons, Leah Remini, Johnny Pemberton, Danielle Nicolet) get ready for a classic car parade in the new episode "The Big Event."
Franklin & Bash
Meet the new boss, same as ... the landlady from "Melrose Place." Heather Locklear joins the cast this season as Rachel King, a tough new lawyer brought in by Stanton (Malcolm McDowell) to help run the firm. Peter and Jared (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Breckin Meyer) represent a well-known magician in the season premiere, "Coffee and Cream." Reed Diamond also stars.
Royal Pains
Hank (Mark Feuerstein) treats a policeman (Brad Beyer) whose health problems may be related to the behavior of his rebellious teenage daughter (Alexandra Socha). While settling into their new home, Evan and Paige (Paulo Costanzo, Brooke D'Orsay) try to settle a feud in the neighborhood. Divya (Reshma Shetty) finds her new life harder to adjust to than she'd expected in the new episode "Blythe Spirits."
How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)
Elaine's (Elizabeth Perkins) self-esteem takes a hit at her own birthday lunch when Polly (Sarah Chalke) steals the spotlight. To give her mother's ego a boost, Polly arranges a movie audition for her, but she realizes she's falling into an old pattern of putting Mom's dreams first in the new episode "How to Help the Needy." Rachel Eggleston and Brad Garrett also star.
Get ready for the final 13 episodes of Matt Groening's ("The Simpsons") animated comedy as the final season starts with tonight's hourlong premiere. Futurama first ran on Fox from 1999 to 2003 and was resurrected by Comedy Central in 2010. Among their adventures in the farewell season, Fry (voice of Billy West), Leela (voice of Katey Sagal) and Bender (voice of John DiMaggio) take up drag racing and bring a dead robot back to life.
Chicago Fire
A former paramedic candidate accuses Severide (Taylor Kinney) of sexual misconduct. Detective Voight (guest star Jason Beghe) returns looking for repayment of the favor that he did for Dawson's (Monica Raymund) brother (guest star Jon Seda). Casey (Jesse Spencer) reverts to old habits. Dawson joins Herrmann and Otis (David Eigenberg, Yuri Sardarov) in preparing for the opening of their bar in "Retaliation Hit."
Fight Master: Bellator MMA
This reality series brings together 32 of the best welterweight fighters in the world to compete for a spot in the Bellator MMA Tournament and a $100,000 prize. Fighters from around the globe live and train together in New Orleans, coached by such legends of the sport as Randy Couture, Greg Jackson, Frank Shamrock and Joe Warren. Contestants battle though qualifying and elimination bouts in the hopes of reaching and winning the final match.
Hot in Cleveland
To usher in its new season, the gang is coming at you with a live episode, where we're guessing somebody is going to come close to breaking out in laughter. Not Betty White, though -- that woman is a pro. Look for one of the gals to get embroiled in a scandal this season, and later on look for on-screen reunions of stars from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Carol Burnett Show."
Necessary Roughness
Dani (Callie Thorne) treats a former child star whose growing pains are threatening her career. With a big endorsement deal on the line, Connor (John Stamos) tries to give T.K. (Mehcad Brooks) an image makeover. Nico (Scott Cohen) butts heads with Dani in the new episode "Gimme Some Lovin'." Johanna Braddy ("Greek") guest stars.

Sun pick Donovan as coach
Anne Donovan will be the new coach of the Connecticut Sun. (Roger Cleaveland/RA) |
UNCASVILLE — The new voice of the Connecticut Sun was finally heard Thursday, but it didn't say much other than to ask for trust in the new karma being infused into the WNBA franchise. Those whispers were then echoed by team management.
After being named the second head coach in Connecticut Sun history, Hall of Famer Anne Donovan couldn't offer any substantive reasons or insight just yet as to why the team would be better under her leadership than it was under the successful 10-year reign of her predecessor, Mike Thibault, that seemed to lack only a championship.
"I have not had much of an opportunity to get to know the girls yet so I can probably better answer that question as we get further along," Donovan said.

(WASHINGTON) -- The man who filmed the infamous "47 percent" video at a closed-door fundraiser, which dealt a devastating blow to Mitt Romney's campaign, has come out of hiding.
It was at that fundraiser that Romney told donors 47 percent of Americans consider themselves victims and will vote for President Obama no matter what.
MSNBC's Ed Schultz has taped an exclusive interview with the man. The network will air Schultz's interview on Wednesday night's episode of The Ed Show, revealing the filmer's identity.

I've been studying the 'total' for the New Mexico Bowl odds for quite some time, and I'm ready to make my New Mexico Bowl picks for the clash between the Arizona Wildcats and the Nevada Wolf Pack. The Nevada vs. Arizona kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET at University Stadium in Albuquerque, NM, and I'm going to show you which way to bet on college football to make your CFB pick on for this great game.
2012 New Mexico Bowl
Nevada Wolf Pack (7-5, 3-9 ATS) +9
Arizona Wildcats (7-5, 6-6 ATS) -9
Over/Under 77
The Wolf Pack and the Wildcats are both teams that can really light it up, but here in the New Mexico Bowl, I'm really not so sure that the game is going to be able to reach a 'total' that has really flown through the roof over the course of the last several days.
Bowl games haven't always been kind for the Wolf Pack. They only scored 17 points last year against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles in spite of the fact that they had an offense that scored at least 42 points in five of the team's last seven games of the season, and they scored just 20 the year before in the final season for QB Colin Kaepernick. In fact, dating back to 2006, the Wolf Pack have been held to 20 points or fewer in all but one of their bowl games, and that was a game that they were beaten 42-35 by the Maryland Terrapins. This year's team is a high flying team for sure with RB Stefphon Jefferson carrying the ball, but I'm just not certain that he is going to be able to do it all by himself.
Get A 100% Sportsbook Bonus @ JustBet Sportsbook!
The Wildcats have had the ability to get the ball moving up and down the field as well with RB Ka'Deem Carey. The team has done a lot of scoring in the 30s this year, and if you take away the games against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, South Carolina State Bulldogs, and the Colorado Buffaloes, all of which have terrible defenses, there isn't all that much to speak of in terms of tremendous outputs. This strikes me as a game in which Arizona is going to get into the mid-30s, but not all that much more. And, with the way that Nevada has struggled to keep the ball moving in bowl games with teams having weeks and weeks to prepare for the Pistol offense, this is an 'under' game waiting to happen.
Nevada vs. Arizona Picks & Tips: Under 77

Statement by Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik to the National Council on the EU Reform Treaty
8 November 2007
We are on the threshold of a European quantum leap. Where an Iron Curtain still existed less than 20 years ago, border controls will be done away with altogether in six weeks' time. Fences and barriers will soon be a thing of the past.
Shortly before Christmas the latest major step in overcoming the history of European division will be undertaken by us and the countries that in the decades of the Cold War were so near and yet such worlds apart.
The 1250 km border between Austria and the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia will soon by like our borders with Germany and Italy today.
Nothing illustrates the epochal changes better than this event. Europe - the new Europe - means overcoming divisions and separations peacefully, through the joint definition of targets and through cooperation.
Successful achievements often make us overlook history. We might recall that on 27 June 1989 Alois Mock and Gyula Horn cut through the barbed wire at Klingenbach, marking the beginning of the end of the Cold War "order". Austrian politics played an instrumental role in this achievement.
Now our EU partners in the north, east and south are taking over responsibility for safeguarding our common external borders.
The forthcoming Schengen enlargement shows that Europe is not taking the easy way out and that in particular far-reaching measures such as the abolition of border controls are contingent on responsible, persevering and very detailed preparatory work by all sides.
I am aware that for many Austrian the abolition of border controls is an emotionally explosive change. For many the risks overshadow the opportunities. No one likes to take the plunge into the unknown. The Federal Government takes these concerns seriously.
We have therefore made absolutely sure that all the conditions are precisely observed without exception. For this I have to thank above all my colleague and Minister of the Interior Günther Platter.
He has concluded bilateral agreements for the future with all of our new Schengen neighbours - the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. These call, among other things, for the elaboration of common security concepts for the border regions and mixed patrols for systematic joint police work. If necessary Austria will also take part in joint actions at the new Schengen outer border.
We have helped the new Schengen states to considerably upgrade their security infrastructure in terms of personnel, in-depth training and new modern equipment.
In the past, for example, Slovakia had 240 police officers on its border with Ukraine; now there are 886. Slovakia has spent 100 million euros on its Schengen measures; over 50 million come from EU resources. In other words, we have made careful preparations for this step.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have reached a new stage in the process of European unification: we are working together towards an area of freedom and security encompassing almost 500 million people. But we are also working on new ground rules for a Union with 27 members. At stake is the weight and influence of Europe as a partner in the global village.
The founding treaties on which the European Union is based were tailored at heart to a community of six countries in the 1950s. Therefore they can no longer meet the challenges of the 21st century in all respects. We need to be better prepared.
That is the reason for the Treaty of Lisbon, which was agreed on 18 October and which we shall sign in five weeks' time on 13 December.
That is also the reason for the years of negotiations that have culminated in this new legal basis. Here too the EU has not taken the easy way out, and nothing has been done precipitately - quite the contrary.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We Austrians have made our contribution to the success of this first joint major project of the 27-member European Union. Through systematic work on the contents, targeted stimulus during our EU Presidency with a view to resurrecting discussion on the EU's future, and through the initial positive steps towards the negotiation of the Reform Treaty at the meeting of foreign ministers in Klosterneuburg.
The result is a treaty text that reformulates the old legal basis where necessary and also introduces a series of forward-looking structural innovations: Europe is getting what it needs for it to function better.
What were the specifically Austrian concerns that have been implemented?
First of all there is the interface between the European and the national level: for the first time there will be a precise distribution of responsibilities between the European Union and the Member States - an old Austrian demand.
It is also clearly stated that the transfer of competences by the Member States to the EU is reversible. In other words, European integration is not a one-way street. It has learnt through the Reform Treaty to let go where it is sensible to do so. Naturally, the Member States will also remain "masters of the treaties".
An explicit example of this more pointed thinking is the area of communal services such as water supply or refuse collection. Here the responsibility of the Member States and their national, regional and local authorities is clearly fixed. The EU is not trying to regulate every aspect of economic life in Europe through the single market.
A further structural innovation that Austria has emphatically supported in the interests of giving a boost to the European democratisation process is the strengthening of the parliamentary component of the European Union.
For the first time it will also be possible to conduct European public initiatives, another Austrian demand that has been taken up. Moreover, the Austrian proposal for a European referendum remains on the table.
The Reform Treaty emphasises the subsidiarity principle and the strengthening of the rights of national parliaments in the EU legislative process.
You, Ladies and Gentlemen, the elected national representatives of the people, will in future be informed directly by the Commission about planned legislation. You will have the possibility of objecting if you believe that a proposal by the Commission regulates a matter that is the responsibility of the Member States. In footballing terms you can if necessary show the Commission a yellow card.
A further innovation with an unmistakable Austrian signature is the European Union's involvement for the first time through the Reform Treaty in climate protection. This is a further step towards making the Union an agent of sustainability, since the EU is increasingly defining standards that are becoming global indicators: in environmental policy, basic rights and consumer protection.
There will also be a new legal basis for European energy policy. By means of a concerted approach Europe will be better organised internally and will also be able to prevail more effectively on global energy markets.
A further forward-looking area in which the Reform Treaty provides more effective tools is the question of internal security of citizens. Europe needs more and better transnational cooperation in the fight against terrorism, organised crime, smuggling and trafficking in human beings.
The Reform Treaty provides for more rapid procedures without the possibility of obstruction by individual states in the area of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As Foreign Minister I should also like to make some comments on the progress made in the EU's external policy.
The EU will have a face and a voice representing it to the outside world. There will in future be a de facto European foreign minister. Whatever the actual name on paper is, there will at last be a European telephone number.
The former functions of the High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the EU Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy will be merged. The external affairs activities of the EU will be streamlined.
A uniform and plausible position by the EU in its external affairs is a public concern, as opinion polls have shown: a common front in this regard is one of the main public expectations. The tone is nevertheless optimistic: according to the most recent Eurobarometer, a solid majority of EU citizens are confident that the EU will become a leading diplomatic power and a true force for peace in the world.
There is a clear demand for a European external policy - both in Europe and in the world.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Austrian influence on European external policy will of course remain intact in the future.
As a member of the EU, we have expanded the impact of our foreign policy in both scope and intensity in a way that would have been unimaginable only a short while ago. Membership of the European Union enables us to help to define a joint European line and to implement it on a daily basis. It gives our work a European dimension.
To mention just a few examples, we offer in Vienna a platform for the Kosovo negotiations and provide development aid in a wide range of projects; we also gave a specific impetus early this week with the Kosovo women's conference as a means of further developing the neighbourhood networks. "Reconciliation through integration" is the way that a Serbian participant described the successful recipe behind the European peace project in Vienna on Tuesday. We are pioneers in cooperation regarding visas thanks to our joint centres in Chisinau and Podgorica. We continue to work on ensuring that the EU perspective for the Balkans remains credible and tangible - particularly in the interests of the young people in these countries. We are indefatigable supporters of dialogue - particularly regarding the relationship with Islam and the Muslim world.
The EU Reform Treaty will not change this commitment, nor our Austrian security policy. The belief in a joint and united foreign policy within the framework of the European Union and neutrality are both parts of our federal constitution and will remain so.
Neutral and non-aligned Member States will have the right in the future to decide themselves on a case-by-case basis on their support - on the merits and also regarding the nature and extent. Decisions on military questions will also remain contingent on unanimous approval by the EU Council.
The Reform Treaty also contains a new solidarity clause that commits Member States to support each other in the event of a terrorist attack or a natural or man-made disaster.
We welcome the fact that Austria is not an also-ran in terms of solidarity.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This High House has always attentively followed and actively participated in the EU Reform Treaty process: at the outset, in the Convention through the work of MPs Einem, Bösch, Lichtenberger and Mainoni; through the various Europe debates in the plenary session and in committees such as the Council for Questions of Austrian Integration and Foreign Policy; and above all through the major European solidarity conference in St. Pölten in 2006, "Europe starts at home", organised by the Austrian Parliament, the Austrian EU Presidency and the province of Lower Austria.
Among the European national parliaments, the Austrian Parliament thus plays a pioneering role in many respects. It has specific European expertise that is particularly valuable in the parliamentary approval of the EU Reform Treaty, since the Treaty will have to be approved in line with our Federal Constitution by you, the elected representatives of the people.
I am a firm believer in this shared representative democracy in which elected representatives of the people address the concerns of the Austrian people solicitously, judiciously and far-sightedly.
Many laws that you as the elected representatives of the people adopt have a more far-reaching effect on citizens than the Treaty of Lisbon: pension reform, tax laws or the introduction of postal voting, for example. Here, too, Ladies and Gentlemen - and through you the people - have the final word.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a matter of concern for me that the citizens of Austria are informed comprehensively about the contents of the Treaty. This is a joint task for all of us - the Federal Government, the representatives of the people and the experts.
I myself have already begun: on the Open Day on 26 October, through a first easily accessible brochure and through the Foreign Ministry website. We will continue to work in this direction.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Europe is without doubt a fascinating project, but is it seen this way by everyone? Obviously not.
There is a large difference between what is actually happening and the prevailing mood. Our task will be to reconcile facts and feelings more effectively. This is often easier to achieve from the outside: the perception of us by our partners is frequently more positive than our own view of ourselves.
I seek a realistic self-awareness of Austria within the 27 Member States - without delusions of grandeur but also without a feeling of powerlessness; in other words, a medium-sized successful country with commitment and a sense of responsibility.
I am certain that we are capable of more than we sometimes believe - in Austria and in Europe!
The Reform Treaty is an opportunity for a more democratic and effective European Union. It will not make the EU perfect or turn it into a paradise. The new Treaty will be successful if it provides the basis for the right policy at all levels.
And it is precisely that, Ladies and Gentlemen, that we have in mind.

text: The World Golf Classic gets underway on Thursday morning live from Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. The WGC Bridgestone Invitational Tiger Woods Tee Time is set for 1:50 p.m. EST and he will play with Branden Grace. The Golf Channel will have live coverage beginning at 2 p.m. EST.Tiger Woods might be the favorite in this event because it's being played at one of his favorite courses in the world, Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. Historically, Woods has played very well at this course, even though he has struggled here the past two years at the WGC. Yet, at Firestone, Woods has an impressive 10 top-5 finishes and seven wins in 12 starts with a 68.33 scoring avg. That sounds pretty good to me. Adam Scott is coming off a historic meltdown at the British Open Championship held at Royal Lytham, but he figures to be involved here this weekend. Scott has 15-1 odds overall and has won World Golf Classic events in the past. He hit the ball well at the British open and probably has some intentions on having a good tournament. Maybe he's looking to silence some critics here this week. Rickie Fowler finished in a tie for second place last season at Firestone and he has driven the ball well off the tee this year, ranking 11th in total driving. Fowler has five top 10s on the season and one victory. He's a decent option at 30-1 odds.Hunter Mahan could also be a good pick this week. He picked up a win at Firestone a couple of years ago (2010) and had Top 10 finishes in both 2008 and 2009. He's been playing a pretty decent streak this year as well, just missing a Top 10 at Hartford, finishing in the Top 10 at Congressional and finishing in the Top 20 at the British Open as well. Bubba Watson has also played well at this course and has struggled lately, taking 23rd at the British Open. However he did take second place at Hartford. Donald also plays well at Firestone, taking second place last year and has three Top 10s in seven starts here. By the way, he's still the No. 1 player in the world and tied for fifth at the British Open.WGC Bridgestone Invitational OddsTiger Woods 9-2, Luke Donald 12-1, Lee Westwood 15-1, Adam Scott 15-1, Rory McIlroy 20-1, Hunter Mahan 25-1, Zach Johnson 25-1, Jason Dufner 25-1, Phil Mickelson 30-1, Rickie Fowler 30-1, Graeme McDowell 30-1, Dustin Johnson 30-1, Bubba Watson 30-1, Justin Rose 30-1, Matt Kuchar 30-1, Steve Stricker 30-1, Bo Van Pelt 30-1, Francesco Molinari 40-1, Louis Oosthuizen 40-1, Jason Day 50-1, Nicolas Colsaerts 50-1, Ernie Els 50-1, Jim Furyk 50-1, Ian Poulter 50-1, Charl Schwartzel 50-1, Nick Watney 50-1, Martin Laird 50-1, Sergio Garcia 60-1, Martin Kaymer 60-1, Brandt Snedeker 60-1, Keegan Bradley 60-1, Peter Hanson 60-1, Fredrik Jacobson 60-1, Bill Haas 60-1, Retief Goosen 60-1, Geoff Ogilvy 60-1, Scott Piercy 60-1, John Senden 80-1, David Toms 80-1, Carl Pettersson 80-1, K.J.

Cops Use Paintball to Learn Ambush Skills
- Updated: January 19, 2012 at 10:44 PM
So what do police do when they need to learn ambush tactics but need less than lethal means? They head out to the paintball field at Paintball U.S.A.
"Always make sure you know where your weapon is pointing," said trainer Jerry Fritz, 66, of Santa Clarita, who had 13 officer-involved shootings
during a career with the Los Angeles Police Department. "That way, when the adrenaline starts pumping, Boom, Boom, Boom."

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for the security screening checkpoints and the checked baggage searches. The TSA offers a myriad of information and multiple tips on their Web site at: www.tsa.gov/travelers.
TSA Cares Helpline: Travelers with medical conditions and disabilities can call toll-free at 1-855-787-2227 prior to traveling to ask questions about screening policies, procedures and about what to expect at the security checkpoints. The helpline is staffed Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. PST, excluding federal holidays. Travelers who are deaf or hard of hearing can use a relay service to contact TSA Cares or can e-mail: email@example.com.
Please consider the following tips when preparing for your flight:
Thoroughly check your baggage before leaving for the airport to avoid mistakenly carrying on prohibited items. View prohibited items list.
All carry-on items (including cell phones, lap-tops and film) will be x-rayed. Be prepared to place cell phones, keys, pagers, etc. in a carry-on bag, take laptops out of their carrying case, and take coats, jackets and shoes off for X-ray inspection. Separately, pack all permitted liquids contained in one quart-size zip-top bag to be placed into a security bin.
"1+1" rule: You are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item – such as a laptop computer, purse, small backpack, briefcase, or camera case – through security screening and onto the aircraft.
3-1-1 For Carry-Ons: The amount of liquids, gels or aerosols you may carry through the security checkpoints is restricted by the TSA to 3.4 ounce (100ml) or smaller size containers of liquid or gel in 1 quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag allowing 1 bag per traveler placed in the security bin. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
Snow globes that appear to contain less than 3.4 ounces (approximately tennis ball size) will be permitted in carry-on luggage if the entire snow globe, including the base, is able to fit in the same one clear, plastic, quart-sized, re-sealable bag, as the passenger's other liquids. Larger sizes may be packed in checked baggage.
Declare larger liquids: The items listed below are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding 3.4 ounces and are not required to be in a zip-top bag. Passengers are requested to declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint:
Do not wrap gifts. Gifts are subject to search, even if placed in checked baggage.
Fireworks are prohibited.
To save time at the Airport, visit your airline's website from the convenience of your home or mobile phone. Online check-in may not be available for international destinations. You can find a list of airlines operating at John Wayne Airport here: airlines.
OCAIR.COM offers real-time flight status information. Enter your flight number, city and/or airline in the left column of this page or go to www.ocair.com/airlines/FIDS.
John Wayne Airport encourages travelers to plan ahead and arrive at the Airport 1-½-to-2 hours prior to departure time for domestic flights, and 3 hours for international flights. This will allow time to comfortably park and complete the check-in and security screening process, and will ensure you'll be at your gate in time for the flight. In the early morning you may require extra time due to the heavy travel volume. Give yourself a break, come early and enjoy our new shops and restaurants. Get a sneak preview here: Restaurants | Shops
You will need your identification (ID) for the security screening process. Security personnel will check your ID and boarding pass at the entrance to the checkpoints. Having your ID and boarding pass available will cut down on wait time in line. Children under the age of 18 do not require an ID. If traveling internationally, please read the tips for International Travelers above.

All parking structures are accessible from the Departure (upper) Level only. Only ticketed passengers will be allowed beyond the security screening checkpoints. You can say your 'farewell' in the ticket counter area on the Departure (upper) Level, or greet your party in the baggage claim area on the Arrival (lower) Level.

View detailed information about Parking and Ground Transportation options.
Skycap are available to assist you with your baggage and boarding pass. This will enable you to bypass the ticket counter and you can proceed to the security checkpoints. If you have a boarding pass and no baggage to check in you may go directly to the security checkpoints. Curbside check-in service is offered by the following airlines:
Avoid long lines and speed up your travel! For your convenience, self-service kiosks for most airlines are available throughout the ticket counter lobby in close proximity to all ticket counters. Self-service kiosks are not available for AirTran Airways and Interjet.
JWA has security checkpoints in each Terminal (A, B and C) for access to the gate areas. The checkpoints are staffed by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel.

Paris, France
The City of Light has every right to call itself a World City
Famously seductive, with a picture postcard scene on every corner, it boasts a legion of the planet's most romantic spots – and is the one place you'll want to dine in, schmooze in, propose in, wake up in, relish the view in and come back to time after time after time.

Must see:
If you haven't the time to walk the city on foot, do it by boat in one of the famous Bateaux Mouches that ply the Seine and take in most of the sights in around an hour or so.
Disneyland« Paris - Europe's top tourist destination with 2 large theme parks, Disneyland« Park and Walt Disney Studios« Park. In addition to the 2 parks and there are 7 Disney themed hotels and the Disney« Village entertainment complex, bustling with themed restaurants, bars, shops and cinemas, something for everybody in the family to enjoy. For more information visit www.disneylandparis.co.uk
Must eat at:
In this gastronomic capital city, the Michelin-starred chefs abound... and it would be almost insulting not to visit at least one of them, if your budget can stretch to it. Pierre Gagnaire at the Hotel Balzac in Rue Balzac is one of the world's greats, having held three stars for many years – and you can expect to pay over Ż150 a head for the privilege.
Must be there for:
The main state celebration of the French Republic, Bastille Day on July 14th is a massive national holiday, with dancing, parties and balls all over the city – not to mention a world-famous military parade and a huge firework display to top it all off.
Well-travelled tips:
- To see Paris at its best, walk. Although public transport is quick and efficient, you'll see much more if you're on foot. Start at the Arc de Triomphe and end at the Ile de la Cite and you'll encompass some of the greatest urban sights in the world.
- Nothing beats Paris at night – especially if you walk up the steps of Sacre Couer and look back on the city.
British citizens do not need a visa to visit France.

The percentage of folks that vote has declined dramatically since the days of Abraham Lincoln. Nowadays, you suppose there's a sense that their input is meaningless, so they just don't bother? Might the same be said of DNR's annual "Sectional" or public meeting circuit whereby outdoor enthusiasts can get some say on issues ranging all the way from the seasons and bag limits to elk restoration or an earlier spring gobbler season for that matter? But the attendance and hosting towns are similarly in decline, so what's the story?
Having covered this arena for decades, the apathy is palpable, particularly during the recent past when the formerly well attended and lively Logan Area meetings seem to be going through a similar doldrums. The cynicism mounted a few years back when the meetings went from a true public format to the present day "open house" version.
In the past, individuals or sporting groups identified themselves and then gave comment or recommendation if they so desired. Others in attendance could hear what they had to say, see who they were and know who they were representing. The meetings had a set starting time and someone from the press could take notes on various issues and report back on what had transpired. Is this not the intent of a public meeting?
Specific tallies were noted on the sometimes heated attempts to open the bow-hunting only counties to some form of firearm season and a host of other matters. Under the present "open house," you can come anytime within a two-hour time slot. There to greet you individually is a host of varying DNR staff that has you outnumbered by a wide margin. If you weren't intimidated or caught up in the Koombayaah of the moment, you could make some suggestions for placement on an easel or submit your written comments as usual on the provided forms.
DNR staff compiles the public input from the statewide meeting circuit then provides the results to the civilian Natural Resource Commissioner. The Commissioners in effect are the DNR's check and balance on behalf of the license buying public. It then boils down to whether it's a meaningful process or just going through the motions. To offset that possibility a few years back, several busloads of folks with media accompaniment attended a particular Commission Meeting to make sure that their voices would positively be heard just in case.
As to the duties of a Commissioner, Nelson Bryant, the longtime outdoor columnist of the New York Times had the distinct privilege of serving on those of several states. He was puzzled by the way individual states at times defended whatever they did, right, wrong or indifferent in relation to a neighbor state. Present day cases in point that he undoubtedly would find intriguing include: how can Kentucky just across the Tug Fork from the Logan Area be harboring 11,000 elk to West Virginia's none, or have a one buck limit to their three or open a spring gobbler season a couple weeks earlier?
Which state lies in the right, wrong or indifferent column? To possibly find out, ask a few questions, provide written comment on these or whatever your own outdoor short list is, please participate in some fashion. The Logan Area Sectional will be held at the Chief Logan State Park Conference Center along Corridor G, Tuesday March 19 from 6-8 p.m.

No, our "A" School was more inland. BUT, that was 45 years ago, so I don't know how it is now. I served from '67 - '73.
Actually, no. I was a Nuc MM, but I did go to "A" school at Great Lakes. I didn't become an Electronic Technician until I was out seven years. I liked the work a lot.
Congratulations on reaching 1,000,000 points! Great job!
You're so right on that post about a derailment.
The conditions in NH are that the public is very involved in their local communties and government and most importantly, we all try to use common sense without all the drama and nonsense of partisan politics. These conditions could be applied across our dear country. ps Thanks for your service in the USN!
You certainly are not familiar with local or state govt. here in NH as that does not happen here. Sorry to hear that you are so jaundiced by govt. in Wisconsin.

Conboy describes Kodak's bankruptcy process in the past year as one with plenty of twist and turns.
"Many of the things the company has tried to do have not worked out that well," said Conboy. "The biggest disappointment of course was the patent sale. They expected billions. They got hundreds of millions."
The company was expecting $2.5 billion to be exact. But Kodak auctioned its digital patent portfolio for $525 million as part of a deal to secure $830 million in loans.
Former bankruptcy Judge John Ninfo says that sale still changed everything.
"It impacted everything," said Ninfo. "It clearly changed the flow of everything and it's going to leave Kodak coming out a much smaller company than they thought they were going to come out at."
So far this year we've seen the company scale back by selling off businesses and laying off thousands of employees. Last year Kodak determined 3,900 positions would be cut.Ninfo says what's surprising is the cost of the bankruptcy process, which he says has reached $125 million.
"That surprised me a little bit because I didn't know it would be that high this early," said the former bankruptcy judge.
In a statement, Kodak says it has made progress through restructuring objectives. That includes legacy costs, such as ending medical benefits for thousands of local retirees and dropping its name from what is now the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The company is also focusing on what it calls it most valuable businesses, including Commercial Imaging.
"If there's any silver lining to the Kodak bankruptcy story it is that at least Kodak won't be liquidated. at least Kodak won't vanish forever," said Conboy.
But until then, the road back from bankruptcy isn't finished just yet. Kodak says it still has to resolve its pension obligations in the United Kingdom and sell its personalized and document imaging businesses.
"It will be smaller. It will be weaker," said Conboy. "It won't be the Kodak we knew, but there will be a Kodak."
