You might say it looked like something out of a movie when two bandits knocked over a south suburban bank Memorial Day weekend. The FBI is about to up the ante in their search for them.
If you've ever seen the action movie called, "The Town", then you have an idea of how this bank robbery took place. The TCF bank branch on west 127th street in Palos Heights was robbed on Sunday, May 29th. Chicago FBI agents say both robbers were wearing masks and nun habits, similar to those worn in the movie "The Town". They were also wearing gloves and both were armed with handguns. After one of the tellers put an undisclosed amount of cash into a Nike duffel bag the robbers brought with them, investigators say the suspects fled the area in a newer model, light colored, Chevy impala. No shots were fired during the robbery and no injuries were reported,
In addition to the security camera photos, investigators would also like the public to take a look at a video that shows how this all went down. Since the suspects are wearing masks, Chicago FBI Special Agent Ross Rice says "We'd like the public to take a good look at it to see if they recognize something else about the robbers." The FBI is now offering a reward up to $20 thousand dollars for any information leading to the identification and arrest of the two robbers.
Again, because of the masks, agents don't know much about what these two suspects look like. Here is what they do know: The first suspect is described as a black male, 5' 7" with a light complexion. The second one is described as a black female, 5' 5", also with a light complexion.
They are considered armed and dangerous. If you see them, call police.
If you have any information about this case, call the Chicago FBI Bureau at (312) 421-6700

In many parts of the developing world, aquaculture has been touted for quite some time as an excellent way to advance food security, especially in communities lacking a sustainable source of animal protein in regions such as sub-Saharan Africa.
The planned construction of 88 hydroelectric dams in the lower Mekong basin by 2030 will cause food security challenges in Cambodia, experts say.
According to a new research study, each Cambodian household consume some 5,3 kilograms of fish five times a week and 63 percent of rural people have jobs related to fishing.

Hot 97 Deejay Calvin "Mister Cee" Laburn (executive producer of the Notorious B.I.G.'S debut album "Ready to Die") was busted by NYPD cops before being hauled off to jail and charged with lewd conduct. It happened this past Wednesday at about 5:00 p.m. That's when cops approached a parked car and caught Mister Cee in the act of receiving fellatio from a man inside the vehicle. The 44-year-old music man was booked at Manhattan's 1st Precinct, located at West Street and Watts Street.
I'm told the male who was performing the sexual act on Mister Cee is just 20-years-old, which makes the man less than half his age.
I don't know how true this story is but the source is HSK.

- Outstanding restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/29/2014I wanted to go out for good seafood in Boston and found exactly what I was looking for at this restaurant. From great service to wonderful cocktails, appetizers and desserts I was truly impressed and will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/29/2014I would definitely recommend this restaurant in the Boston area. We were from out of state. I would highly recommend it to anyone that I know going to the Boston area.Special Features:
- DDDDVIPDined on 9/28/2014THE FOOD AS ALWAYS IS GOOD. THE SERVICE IS WELL BELOW THE RESTAURANT LEVEL. WAITERS ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, UNWELCOMING AND DONT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT YOU. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
- Nothing SpecialCarmensensemanVIPDined on 9/28/2014Quite expensive for the whole experience. Just did not get the feeling that it is a happy place to work, which was reflected in the attitude of the front staff and servers. Won't be returning..... Too many better alternatives in Boston for an enjoyable seafood dinner.
- Good addressCyc79Dined on 9/27/2014Overall very positive experience, with good food and nice service. It was very busy on a Saturday night (and noisy), and we had to wait 20min despite a reservationSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WarningukdinerDined on 9/27/2014Booked for 6.15pm but told had to wait. Not given anywhere to wait and ignored us until table finally ready Had mussels and calamari to start and both were very bland. Both then went for Captains Platter, which turned up as a plate of dark brown fried food. Nothing crispy but clogged up with over used deep fried oil. Inedible. When person came to clear plates, she saw that we had hardly touched them. I stated it was horrible and she just left laughing!! Came back to ask if we wanted to take it away and said no because it truly was horrible. She just laughed again!
- Always perfectFrequentDinerVIPDined on 9/27/2014Rarely have I found a restaurant that provides excellent food and service with not a single problem, EVERY TIME. My wife and I have eaten at Atlantic Fish on at least 20 occasions, as a couple, with a small group, with a larger group and at their Sunday brunch. Every time, the food has been prepared perfectly and tasted outstanding, the service was professional and courteous, the atmosphere lively and friendly. This has become our "go to" restaurant for special occasions and now even for just a great night out. I give Atlantic Fish my highest recommendation, without hesitation.Special Features:
- Overall good experienceTabithaVIPDined on 9/26/2014Raw oysters were very small but good . Sea bass was great size snd flavor . Sea scallops would have been better with a light sauce.
- Boston trip jeter 2014OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/26/2014The food is always delicious fresh great soups great appetizers the lobster Louie is my favorite. I always come here when I am in town. I live in Phoenix Arizona -on this visit I arrived at Logan airport at 3:30 and had a reservation at 5:15 we came in at about 5:17 and I had a headache from flying all day. I told the hostess we wanted to run right next-door to Walgreens not even one block down from the restaurant and they both gave me a look and balked at that idea saying we will only hold a table for 10 minutes I found this very rude and disheartening. we did go to Walgreens get some aspirin and then we're seated the meal was fantastic as always but I was put off by the way the dinner started being greeted by the host like thatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dertz62Dined on 9/25/2014Food was excellent. Great locations. Seated us at our reservation time! Would definitely go backSpecial Features:
- Not even close to Legal Seafood!GeneVIPDined on 9/25/2014Friend recommended it. Very disappointing. Sea bass came over cooked and then came back properly cooked with absolutely no flavor. Other good ordered was mediocre at best. Placed at a table for 2 when we were 3. Better food and ambiance at Legal Seafood.Special Features:
- An Overall Great Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/24/2014Our dining experinece was outstanding. Upon arrival by the receeptionist and immediately taken to out table. Fortunately we had a great waitress who made our dining experience a pleasant experience. The meal we ordered was sumptious. Overal it was a great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner Before the Red Sox, 9/24/14DSmithDined on 9/24/2014I guess we have established a tradition of meeting our friends from NH before a Red Sox game by eating at Atlantic Fish. We always come back here as the food is always outstanding. It is the Ruth's Chris of seafood. No, matter what we get for entrees, the food is always excellent. Even their steaks on the menu for non-seafood people are excellent as i imagine they are Abe & Louie's steaks based on the same ownership.Special Features:
- Atlantic FishOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/24/2014Great service and food. Staff is very attentive and would definitely go back.Special Features:
- The great feastSAACVIPDined on 9/23/2014We ordered the lobster feast amazing!!!!! With a nice Napa wineSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- reliable quality and servicefeedmeDined on 9/22/2014This restaurant is a top notch professional establishment. It is run like a machine. Very crowded and loud, so if you don't like that, look elsewhere. Even though they are always busy, the food is always great. Great quality fish, our personal favorites are the sesame tuna and cioppino.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/22/2014Our waiter Edwin made the meal perfect. The food was great but the service was the best part. Most congenial waiter I have had in yearsI would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a fabulous meal!willwriteforfoodDined on 9/21/2014This is one of our favorite places to eat seafood in Boston -- food is consistently excellent. Had my very first lobster roll this time and was not disappointed. Really tender, not over-dressed, and great flavor.Special Features:
- Very good and great food.Diner99Dined on 9/21/2014Very good and great food. Great location and outlook and quietly efficient staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- tamullen1Dined on 9/21/2014My daughter and I enjoyed our Sunday brunch 9/21/14. The weather cooperated and we enjoyed our meal outside. Our Waiter (? Server what is the correct nomenclature today?) ; Matthew (?6530) was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He offered good information, made recommendations, and was attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious, served at the right temperature at the appropriate time. Atlantic is a special treat for us and We enjoyed our experience. We are putting our spare change aside to treat ourselves ASAP.Special Features:
- Superb in every waySandyFromPhilaDined on 9/20/2014We were visiting from out of town, and were delighted to find this gem. We went in jeans, even though it is an upscale restaurant with tablecloths - they have no dress code. The table we were seated at was perfect - not near restrooms, kitchen door, serving stations, high-traffic aisles, etc. The server was very efficient, knowledgeable, extremely nice, and had a professional appearance. The food all three of us had was superb. $125 for three (excluding tip) which I think is a very good price for such an exceptional experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- V. Good NOT GreatClayDined on 9/20/2014Service was superb; my wife's halibut was super fresh and perfectly done. Grandkids happy too. However, both my Steamers (down-east long neck clams) and steamed lobster were largely taste-free. The shellfish wasn't so much overlooked as it was just not sea-fresh expected. In addition, thigh purportedly "in the shell," the body had been disengaged and emptied and the tail split and open (warm, not hot on arrival). If you don't like lobster in the shell, don't like the challenges of opening to get the rewards of immediately opened "tamale" or roe, this would be OK... if it were fresh tasting. My lobster had had a lot of tank time. I'm a former Easterner; this ain't it. We'd have done (and have done) much better at Legal Seafoods.Special Features:
- Wonderful foodtravelloverDined on 9/20/2014My family and I went to visit my son who attends college in Boston and I wanted to go somewhere enjoyable for lunch. After reading the wonderful review Atlantic Fish Co. had received we decided to try it. The oysters were absolutely delicious as was all the other dishes we had for lunch. I myself had the crab cake sandwich, which was amazing. My son and sister-in-law both loved the lobster roll and my niece, who is not much of a fish lover, really enjoyed the eggs benedict. Even better then the food was the service we received from a wonderful waitress, who I am sorry and embarrassed to say I do not recall her name.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost great, almost perfect!MrSwedenDined on 9/19/2014Its just worth several visits. Food a little bit uneven in quality but overall great! The pasta... Don't try it, not worth it. Went twice and the starters are the best in town! Service? So so! Yes it's full with people waiting but they don't need to clean the table before you finished. Within 5 min 3 people asked... But, for sure worth a visit!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerDinerVIPDined on 9/19/2014Our first visit to Atlantic Fish -- and we were not disappointed. We really enjoyed the fish/shellfish stew and the sole. Nice warm bread to begin the meal; nice wine list; and make sure to try the tuna tartare -- delicious. Next time we visit Boston we will definitely make sure Atlantic Fish is one of the places we have dinner. Absolutely make a reservation so you won't be disappointed. This place is very busy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food Once AgainTruecolorDined on 9/19/2014We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and went to Atlantic Fish Co once more. I had the Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass and it was fantastic and the baby kale that complimented the fish was the best I've had. A glass of white wine(affordable) put everything together. My husband had the Surf and Turf with Filet Mignon and lobster tail. The size portion was really good and he was especially impressed with the lobster tail. Nice white tender flavorful flesh. It was a busy night and customers were waiting in line , so I recommend making a reservation like we did. We would recommend Atlantic Fish to everyone. We will always go back.Special Features:
- Nice Tuna & Lobster with ChardonnayStevensDined on 9/19/2014Nice location with a sunny terrace close to the road. Nice service and nice standing. The Tuna was really really good and the lobster as well (even I prefer at the grill with a touch of fresh lemon).Special Features:
- not bad, but not that great eitherOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Considering it is number 1 on trip advisor and well supported on open table, our party of 4 was generally disappointed. Clam chowder great, sandwiches ok. Service very lack luster and not personal. I think worth going to for a casual lunch, but not romantic or that special. May have expected too much from the reviews, but more mediocre than great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great seafoodraygunVIPDined on 9/18/2014Deliciously prepared seafood with a lot of variety. Delicious warm bread to start your meal. Great bar. A must visit when you are in the back bay area of Boston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Must do in BostonKaiser18Dined on 9/18/2014My fifth Stay in Boston and every Time i Visited atlantic Fish. It's wonderful to enjoy the Clam chowder and the lobster. I Surely will come again. Thanks also for the Great Service. It's Fine to sit near the terrace or outside because there's Not so much Noise.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Awesome restaurant, located just two blocks from Copley T station. Good food and wine. Excellent staff. I recommend. Fair price.Special Features:
- Not as good as I rememberOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Despite booking a table well in advance, had to wait some time for a table to become available. Due to popularity of restaurant this left large numbers of people stuck by the front door waiting to be seated. Crab cake to start was excellent but disappointed with main course of deep fried shrimp which tasted more of the oil used than the shrimp. Service was the bare minimum whilst the table next to us seemed to be showered with attention. Will almost certainly give Atlantic Fish a miss on our next visit to Boston.
- Great dining experienceRoxannDined on 9/15/2014We had dinner reservations and were seated on time. The tables are close together but that did not interfere with our dining. Outside seating looked nice with heaters arranged to make cool weather dining more comfortable. Our meals were well cooked and delicious and the server very attentive, even though he had many tables to work. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a special occasion dining event.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousGwaderDined on 9/15/2014We went to this restaurant looking for good seafood, and we got great seafood. Everything was very fresh and delicious. Our service was amazing, and we couldn't have asked for more.Special Features:
- MvfoodieDined on 9/14/2014Everything was perfect, from the food, service and table. We were totally impressed and would definitely come back again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Great DinnerLJFknitsDined on 9/14/2014When visiting Boston we always try and have dinner at the Atlantic Fish Co. Our meals have always been wonderful. Fish is very fresh and nicely presented. Always willing to honor any special food requests or diet restrictions. Service is excellent. Looking forward already to next trip to Boston and dinner at the Atlantic Fish Co.Special Features:
- FrescoDined on 9/13/2014Another pleasant visit, as far as the food and service was concerned, but slow seating with our 6pm reservation. Packed house and quite noisy. For the really important issues, excellent food and prompt service, no complaints. They have been consistently good over the 3 years I have lived in Boston. I believe their prices are quite fair too given what their competitors charge.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really good server!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014We loved our server we had on 9/13/14. He was great!Special Features:
- Why reserve at all??foodifamilyDined on 9/12/2014Though our dinner was fantastic, we were seated 48 minutes after our reservation time on Open Table, despite arriving 15 minutes early. It was a cool evening, the doors were open and they kept trying to get us to take a table outside or at the door. Why they wouldn't just close the sliders when many people refused the 'outdoor' seating is beyond me. As usual, there is always a crowd waiting for tables, and we knew this because it is our 4th time at this restaurant, and hence why we made a reservation in the first place. Too bad they did not observe it. The seafood is among the best in Boston, but the experience was marred by the unnecessary delay. Not sure we will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantJenny2014Dined on 9/12/2014The Restaurant was very busy on the Friday evening we visited. The were no free tables and we had to wait 15 minutes even though we had booked a table 3 weeks prior to our visit. However, the food was very good, imaginative, and the staff were pleasant? With a bottle of wine, we felt it was quite an expensive meal, but maybe it's just a case of you have to pay for something good in Boston. We would definitely return.Special Features:

5) Long-time rumor has it that the baggy jeans style comes from hard cases in prison, who weren't allowed to wear belts inside (they're taken away, along with your laces, when you go to the big house), letting people know they'd done time when they got back out on the street by continuing to let them hang low. If you're a skinny, 15-year old kid from Iowa, chances are people aren't going to assume the same of you: they'll just think you're too dumb to buy pants that fit.
4) An extension of the rumor (and one that, it has to be said, has no solid evidence behind it, but it's funny, so what the hell) claims that in prison, while everyone had baggy jeans, the only time an inmate let them dangle right down over their underwear was when they were someone else's bitch. Not so tough now, huh, Mr. Saggy Pants?
3) Everyone agrees that you look like a fool. Even Simon Cowell, and he's the least stylish man in the whole world.

Facebook is the most search and most visited
Menlo Park, CA, United States (4E) – The most searched term of the year, unfortunately to the disappointment of many, wasn't K-pop song Gangnam Style. The most searched term was Facebook according to marketing research firm Experian. This is the fourth straight year Facebook has become the most searched term.
An estimated 4 percent of all searches in 2012 was facebook related. It was a 33 percent increase from last year.
Aside from being the most searched term, Facebook was also the most visited website. With a billion users with a Facebook account, it isn't surprising that the social media giant is the most visited website of the year. Facebook received 79 million visits in the United States this year. followed by Google with 78.5 million visits. YouTube came third with 25.9 billion, followed by Yahoo! Mail with 22.2 billion and rounded out by Yahoo! with 20.8 billion.
Found in the top 10 most searched website were four variations of the term "Facebook."
Experian added, "Navigational searches continue to dominate the top search results as users continue to visit their favorite sites via search engines instead of directly entering a web address into their browsers URL bar."

Can Gamestop save Blockbuster?
It would take some accounting magic, but a buyout of the video game store could save BBI
Gamestop (GME) is Wall Street's favorite dog to kick around. Shares are down 20% from the lows of 2009 despite a red-hot rally of about 70% in the broader market. That makes it one of the 10 worst performers in the last year.
The reasons are crystal clear: As consumer spending dried up, all but the hard-core gamers cut back on spending. And despite a bit of strength around the holiday season, video game sales have done nothing but drop. The details from February's video game sales report a few weeks back showed more of the same, and GME continues to pay the price.
But is the brutal fall of GME entirely fair? Some companies say the answer is no, and they are looking to game Gamestop's decline as a shot for a bargain basement acquisition. And if execs at Blockbuster (BBI) can work some accounting magic, could be a potential buyer of GME.
There's no doubt it would take some financial acrobatics for Blockbuster to execute a merger while it's bleeding red ink. and the CEO has admitted Chapter 11 is a possibility now that the company is faced with nearly $1 billion in debt and limited prospects for paying the interest on that debt.
But if Blockbuster can just weather the near-term, it may be alright. The company has closed hundreds of retail stores and is adding rental kiosks (similar to the popular Redbox offerings) as fast as it can, aiming to get 7,000 into the field this year. The company also has a video-on-demand service, but it has not caught on widely to this point. If that business ramps up, BBI could be much better off.
BBI may have time on its side, too. Short interest represents about 15% of outstanding shares of Gamestop so the stock could stay at an attractive price long enough for the company to get its act together.
Yes, those are a lot of "ifs." But stranger things have happened. And Gamestop has its share of troubles too that have been casting shares in a negative light -- including a 9.2% drop in hardware sales last quarter, and a 3.7% slide in earnings.
Blockbuster needs to latch on to something to stay afloat, and if it can free up enough cash GME could be just the life preserver it needs. Again, the list of "ifs" is taller than a stack of marked-down new releases at Blockbuster's checkout, but in a fight for survival companies have been known to get creative to keep the lights on.
Chances are Blockbuster won't wind up with Gamestop. But if there's even an outside chance that this partnership can work, executives at BBI should pull out all the stops to try and make it happen.

Renovations and restarts are the themes of the day, as Barbara Sharp takes you Around Town.
From humble beginnings as a food warehouse in 1907, to a coming-soon full-service American Bank Center, the John Iverson Building in Mandan is the tale of a modern project that almost didn't get off the ground. But today's ground-breaking ceremony signals new beginnings for the empty warehouse. Paving the way for development was first, the 2004 contaminated soil settlement with BNSF Railway, and second, the urging of Mandan customers.
Greg Vetter, Chief Operating Officer of American Bank Center says, "our customers that we have from Mandan asked us all the time, 'please, when can you open a location in Mandan?'" "And so today, you're sitting, you're standing in the future lobby of American Bank Center."
This might just be the best-kept secret in Bismarck.
Hotwire Cafe -- located inside the Bismarck Public Library -- offers coffee drinks, paninis, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, ice cream and more. Take-out is available, and the Cafe provides catering services for meetings hosted at the library.
Rachael Neva, Owner of Hotwire Cafe says, "we feel like we have a really neat experience being here in the public library. A lot of people enjoy coming in and grabbing a coffee and then they can go check out the Internet or read a book, check-out books. We also have a lot of Story Time Moms."
The Bismarck Motor Motel is getting more than a face-lift. A fixture since 1933, the Motel is being razed to make way for a brand-new, upgraded operation with over three-times more rooms. The new motel will feature, among other things, larger rooms and garages.
"We're going to have -- probably a third of the rooms are going to be totally handicap-accessible," say owners Dan & Cherie Frank. "They all will have big enough, 36 inch doors. . . . Some will have hot tubs."
A portion of the new foundation has already been poured. They expect to be up and running this May with full completion of new construction by the Fall.
On a busy Friday, this is Barbara Sharp taking you Around Town.

A federal grand jury indicted former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and First Lady Maureen McDonnell Tuesday in connection with an ongoing gift scandal.
Click here to read the indictments (PDF): http://bit.ly/LPrQwv
The couple was charged in federal court Tuesday on 14 counts stemming from gifts and loans coming from former Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams. The documents allege Gov. McDonnell and his wife illegally promoted the supplement company in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts and loans.
FULL COVERAGE: Former Governor Bob McDonnell indicted: http://bit.ly/1eohv3V
The indictment includes:
The former Governor is also charged with one count of making a false statement to a financial institution. The former First Lady is charged with one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.
McDonnell released a statement Tuesday again denying wrongdoing and pledging to fight the allegations.
"I deeply regret accepting legal gifts and loans from Mr. Williams, all of which have been repaid with interest, and I have apologized for my poor judgment for which I take full responsibility," he said in the statement. "However, I repeat emphatically that I did nothing illegal for Mr. Williams in exchange for what I believed was his personal generosity and friendship. I never promised - and Mr. Williams and his company never received - any government benefit of any kind from me or my Administration."
The former governor has returned $124,000 in loans and gifts, plus a $10,000 gift from Williams to his daughter.
The Washington Post reported the U.S. Attorney's Office was prepared to ask a grand jury to send up the indictment of the governor and his wife, Maureen, in December. McDonnell's legal team successfully convinced them to hold things off.
McDonnell recently completed his time in office earlier this month with a cloud of legal troubles overshadowing his term. He apologized in his final State of the Commonwealth address, briefly defending his actions while admitting that taking gifts from Williams didn't look good.
"Choices I made were legal, and as several reviews have shown, no person or company received any special benefits during our Administration," the former governor said in the speech.
Williams resigned as CEO of Star Scientific last month, as did company president Paul Perito. They are still with the Glen Allen-based company to help with the litigation and product development. The company changed names to Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals after a vote by shareholders. Dr. Michael Mullan replaced Williams.
The gift scandal exposed the lax ethics regulations in place in Virginia. The House of Delegates now wants to place a $250 limit on gifts from lobbyists and others who do business with the Commonwealth. Legislators also say they want to establish a commission to advise and train elected officials about ethics and conflict-of-interest laws. Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe has proposed limiting gifts to elected officials and their families at $100.
Attorney General Mark Herring recently said the state is no longer going to pay outside law firms to represent McDonnell and his staffers. Herring, a Democrat, terminated the contracts related to criminal investigations of McDonnell.
The outside firms were hired by former Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who said conflicts prevented his office from representing McDonnell and his staffers. An investigation by Richmond Commonwealth's Attorney Michael Herring concluded Cuccinelli did not break the law when he failed to disclose thousands of dollars in gifts from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams.
Cuccinelli also received plane rides, vacation stays and supplements from Williams. He was also questioned for a fortuitous short term investment in Star stock. He has said he would give $18,000 to an unspecified charity, an amount equal to the value of the personal gifts Cuccinelli received from Williams.
Meanwhile, Star Scientific is working with the Food and Drug Administration to keep its dietary supplements, Antabloc and CigRx, on the market. The FDA warned the company that the drugs have a new ingredient requiring approval.

The Nelson County Governors are staying strong - despite the absence of Alexis Murphy. Alexis disappeared two weeks ago and on Saturday, her volleyball team hit the court in her honor while teams from around central Virginia rallied together to show their support.
Alexis was set to lead her high school volleyball team onto the court for Saturday's tournament in Nelson County. Instead, the team had to play without her - but they still sported signs of hope for her return.
"Today we have her jersey on the bench with us, but we'll go through practice and they'll say you all remember when Alexis did this, Alexis does this. So they're always thinking about her and hoping that she's coming back," said assistant volleyball coach Jasmine Murphy.
Alexis wore jersey No. 9 and made her presence known on the court as a powerful forward. Head coach Vicki Crawford says the 17-year-old was committed to become a captain this season - until she vanished two weeks ago.
"This year she promised me through the summer and camps that she was going to be the leader. So I was really looking forward to her taking charge out there and leading this team," she said.
Saturday, the Nelson County girls' volleyball team hosted four other teams at the annual jamboree. The Governors sported pink ribbons for Alexis and other teams didn't hesitate to show their support.
"The team we just played - Timberland Christian - they actually changed their uniforms to pink uniforms, pink socks and everything when they played us," Murphy said.
"We were really touched by Timberlake Christian making that real nice poster. It was really sweet, kind of choked us up a little this morning when they put it up," Crawford said.
Signs of strength, support, and hope to bring Alexis home.
"We've made several different adjustments and I think the girls have embraced what's going on and really done an excellent job today - I think - in her honor," Crawford said.
Alexis' family planned to attend Saturday's event, but decided it would be too difficult.
The FBI is currently not releasing any new developments regarding the investigation.

Proof of Pertussis and Meningococcal Vaccinations Required for Seventh-Graders
ATLANTA, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- New for the 2014-2015 academic year, Georgia Department of Public Health Rule (511-2-2), requires all students born on or after January 1, 2002 entering or transferring into seventh grade and any "new entrant" entering into 8th-12th grades in Georgia provide proof of an adolescent pertussis (whooping cough) booster vaccination (called "Tdap") AND an adolescent meningococcal vaccination (MCV4). This law affects all public and private schools including, but not limited to, charter schools, community schools, juvenile court schools and other alternative school settings (excluding homeschool).
In an effort to protect every adult and child, the Georgia Department of Public Health established this year, Preteen Vaccine Awareness Week, June 23-27 to serve as a reminder for parents to talk with their preteens and teens about getting immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases.
"Protection from vaccines received in childhood wears off as kids get older, so preteens and teens need a booster shot known as Tdap," said Steven Mitchell, director for the Georgia Department of Public Health Immunization Office. "We're not only protecting them now against vaccine-preventable diseases, but also protecting their future. We can't stress enough the importance of getting your preteen vaccinated."
Vaccines are the best defense we have against serious, preventable and sometimes deadly contagious diseases. They help avoid expensive therapies and hospitalization needed to treat infectious diseases like influenza and meningitis. Immunizations also reduce absences both at school and after school activities, and decrease the spread of illness at home, school and the community.
The CDC recommends the following vaccines for teens and preteens:
Preteen Vaccine Awareness Week is an opportunity to raise awareness through schools, health care providers and media regarding preteen immunizations, particularly Georgia's new pertussis and meningococcal requirements for incoming seventh-grade students. Speak with your physician today to find out if your preteen is up-to-date and if not, make a date to vaccinate.

Podcast: ratings, rankings, and the advantage of being born lucky
A conversation with Sean Taylor, Hilary Mason, and John Myles White about how ratings affect our thinking
Is popularity just a matter of simple luck–of some early advantage compounded by human preference for things that are already popular? A paper published today in Science offers some insight into the way that popularity emerges in online ratings. Lev Muchnik, Sinan Aral, and Sean Taylor were able to set up a randomized experiment on a popular Reddit-like message board in which they gave some posts a one-point upvote on publication and others a one-point downvote. Posts that were "born lucky" ended up with 25% higher scores on average than those without modification.
In our latest podcast, Renee DiResta and I are joined by Sean Taylor, Hilary Mason and John Myles White to talk about Sean's findings and about ratings, rankings and reviews in general. Bits and pieces that come up in the podcast:
- Anchoring and adjustment
- Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow; his Nobel Prize lecture is worth watching, too
- Amazon reviews both satirical and just poorly informed
- Health inspection results can be predicted from online reviews
- Restaurant grades are less effective in the age of Yelp

What Is the Risk That Amazon Will Go Down (Again)?
Velocity 2013 Speaker Series
Why should we at all bother about notions such as risk and safety in web operations? Do web operations face risk? Do web operations manage risk? Do web operations produce risk? Last Christmas Eve, Amazon had an AWS outage affecting a variety of actors, including Netflix, which was a service included in many of the gifts shared on that very day. The event has introduced the notion of risk into the discourse of web operations, and it might then be good timing for some reflective thoughts on the very nature of risk in this domain.
What is risk? The question is a classic one, and the answer is tightly coupled to how one views the nature of the incident occurring as a result of the risk.
One approach to assessing the risk of Amazon going down is probabilistic: start by laying out the entire space of potential scenarios leading to Amazon going down, calculate their probability, and multiply the probability for each scenario by their estimated severity (likely in terms of the costs connected to the specific scenario depending on the time of the event). Each scenario can then be plotted in a risk matrix showing their weighted ranking (to prioritize future risk mitigation measures) or calculated as a collective sum of the risks for each scenario (to judge whether the risk for Amazon going down is below a certain acceptance criterion).
This first way of answering the question of what the risk is for Amazon to go down is intimately linked with a perception of risk as energy to be kept contained (Haddon, 1980). This view originates from more recent times of increased development of process industries in which clearly graspable energies (fuel rods at nuclear plants, the fossil fuels at refineries, the kinetic energy of an aircraft) are to be kept contained and safely separated from a vulnerable target such as human beings. The next question of importance here becomes how to avoid an uncontrolled release of the contained energy. The strategies for mitigating the risk of an uncontrolled release of energy are basically two: barriers and redundancy (and the two combined: redundancy of barriers). Physically graspable energies can be contained through the use of multiple barriers (called "defenses in depth") and potentially several barriers of the same kind (redundancy), for instance several emergency-cooling systems for a nuclear plant.
Using this metaphor, the risk of Amazon going down is mitigated by building a system of redundant barriers (several server centers, backup, active fire extinguishing, etc.). This might seem like a tidy solution, but here we run into two problems with this probabilistic approach to risk: the view of the human operating the system and the increased complexity that comes as a result of introducing more and more barriers.
Controlling risk by analyzing the complete space of possible (and graspable) scenarios basically does not distinguish between safety and reliability. From this view, a system is safe when it is reliable, and the reliability of each barrier can be calculated. However there is one system component that is more difficult to grasp in terms of reliability than any other: the human. Inevitably, proponents of the energy/barrier model of risk end up explaining incidents (typically accidents) in terms of unreliable human beings not guaranteeing the safety (reliability) of the inherently safe (risk controlled by reliable barriers) system. I think this problem—which has its own entire literature connected to it—is too big to outline in further detail in this blog post, but let me point you towards a few references: Dekker, 2005; Dekker, 2006; Woods, Dekker, Cook, Johannesen & Sarter, 2009. The only issue is these (and most other citations in this post) are all academic tomes, so for those who would prefer a shorter summary available online, I can refer you to this report. I can also reassure you that I will get back to this issue in my keynote speech at the Velocity conference next month. To put the critique short: the contemporary literature questions the view of humans as the unreliable component of inherently safe systems, and instead advocates a view of humans as the only ones guaranteeing safety in inherently complex and risky environments.

Amazon Slash Slashed, Indies Out, Printing for Peace, Massively Online Orthographic Build System

BURN BAN: In Effect
Burn ban is back
Wilson County News
December 13, 2010

8 comments
For at least the next 90 days, Wilson County is under a burn ban. This comes after a unanimous vote by the commissioners court at its Dec. 13 meeting.
Those living in unincorporated areas where trash pickup services are unavailable are permitted to burn household trash in screened burn barrels. This type of burning is only permitted during daylight hours.
Certain types of agricultural burning are still allowed, pending prior approval from the Wilson County Health and Public Safety Office. The office can be contacted at 830-393-8503.

Under Texas Local Government Code Section 352.081, a burn ban can be instituted for a maximum period of 90 days the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) number is at 575 or higher or if the governor has declared a disaster.
As of Feb. 24, the KBDI mean (average) for Wilson County is 366.5414. This can be a bit misleading though because the KBDI only measures surface moisture. It does not account for the dead brush above the surface, which can still ignite regardless of the wetness of the soil below it.

The 90 days is about over - Does that mean the burn ban will no longer be in effect automatically after 90 days or do they need to vote again to make it OK to burn??

For once I agree with Rock'n chair (on a few points). Why 90 days? - Should be a week to week call. I can see why the burn ban is required after no rain for awhile but today it is safer than ever after all the rain so why 90 days - I have 9 acres full of trees and have allot of leaves to get rid of or the lawn will not grow proper come spring.

For the next 90 days? Are they using a crystal ball to see into the future? What happens if we get some good rain, like, eh, last night??
And, if it's ok to burn trash in a burn barrel for some folks, why not all folks? What difference does it make to the fire danger whether or not a person has garbage collection service? It makes no sense.
How about use some damn common sense in these matters? If it's too dry to allow burning, just say so and then enforce it equally. If it's too dry for me to burn yard debris in a barrel, then it's damn sure too dry for the guy down the road to burn his trash just because the garbage trucks don't come down his road.
Burning trash should be illegal anyhow. It stinks, pollutes and in this day and age should not be necessary, even out in the country. If you live that far out, you probably have a tractor, or should, so just bury it or haul it to the dump. Period.

Unless otherwise permitted by the Wilson County Health and Public Safety office, the only burning allowed to take place in a burn ban is household trash -- not yard waste -- in a screened burned barrel. This type of activity is limited only to daylight hours and in unincorporated areas where trash pickup is unavailable.
This 2006 article might help you obtain a better understanding of the subject:

Stupid Question - Does the burn ban include small residential fires like small piles of leaves?? I ask since I have seen it happening all over recently.

If you're tired of the bitter temperatures much of the U.S. has been experiencing, you'll get a slight break before even colder air hovers over the U.S right before Christmas. That's according to AgDay Meteorologist Mike Hoffman. He says meteorologists call the system the "Siberian Express."
It's when cold air swoops down from Siberia and the North Pole. It will first enter Canada and then push its way down across much of the U.S. He says most computer models don't often catch the "Siberian Express." So, if you're looking at other long-range forecast, it may not include this frigid air. Hoffman, however, says he's confident it will make it to the U.S.
Hoffman says it will first enter states like Montana and North Dakota on Thursday, Dec. 19. It will then push its way farther south and cover most of the Corn Belt by Sunday, Dec. 22. He says this air mass will be colder than what many portions of the U.S. just experienced by at least 7 degrees.
So, Santa will be bringing more than tangible gifts from the North Pole this year. He'll also bring us cold air and possibly travel delays.

GREENSBORO, N.C. (May 25, 2013) – Rutgers' women's 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams are heading to the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships after qualifying at the NCAA East Regional held at Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University on Saturday.
Both the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams consisting of sophomore Gabrielle Farquharson (Williamstown, N.J.), redshirt junior Asha Ruth (Bowie, Md.), junior Corryn Hurrington (Bowie, Md.) and junior Tylia Gillon (New Egypt, N.J.) will head to Eugene, Ore for the Division I National Championships being held on June 5-8, 2013. It is the first time in Rutgers school history the women's relay teams have qualified for the national championships.
Ruth qualified for her second NCAA event after taking seventh in the long jump as one of 12 student-athletes to advance. They will also join senior James Plummer (South Toms River, N.J.) who captured the 2013 NCAA East Region discus title on Thursday on the men's side.
With the top three from each of the four preliminary heats advancing to Eugene, Rutgers finished in third in the first heat of the 4x100 and seventh overall to take the track, finishing with a time of 44.71. It was the team's fastest finish of the season, surpassing their previous best of 45.27 from their third place finish at Penn Relays. It was also a new Rutgers record set by the team.
Later in the evening the same quartet raced in the 4x400 to take eighth overall in crossing the finish line with a new RU record. The Scarlet Knights finished in a time of 3:35.22, resetting the previous benchmark of 3:36.91 by the same foursome at last year's BIG EAST Championships.
Also on Saturday, senior Alexandra Kelly (Florham Park, N.J) took 18th overall in javelin with a distance of 45.59m.

UND begins play in the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference this weekend when they open at Miami of Ohio in the very first day of games ever for the conference.
UND begins the new venture after opening last weekend against Vermont where they picked up a win and a tie. A point of focus last week was developing special teams and finding their roles. UND killed all six Vermont power plays on Saturday and 16 of 17 for the weekend. With a step in the right direction the team is positive heading in to conference play.
"Obviously there's going to be some things we need to work on and improve on," said senior captain Dillon Simpson. "I think we've done a nice job of that this week, kind of focusing on areas we saw we need to work on. But the work ethic was there, I think we played a good weekend."
"At this point I really like our team," added junior defenseman Nick Mattson. "Guys worked really hard, they have a good attitude. Those things that we need to work on will come as we continue to gel."
Miami was picked to win the league and UND to finish second in the preseason media poll. The puck drops Friday at 7:00 pm in this weekends two game series.

by Shanna, age 14

Inspired by the care she received for her brain tumor, 14-year-old Shanna aims to become a pediatric neurosurgeon.
In December 2006, I was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor. Before my surgery, I was a typical teenager who felt invincible. But now I've learned not to take life for granted. I consider myself very lucky, since many of the children I met at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia are not going to lead normal lives.
While in the Intensive Care Unit, I met a toddler named Skylar. The smile on this charming 18-month-old charmed everyone, and he came to visit my room regularly. His mother explained that his disease, spinal muscular atrophy, is gradually deteriorating his neuromuscular system so that every few months, he loses more of his ability to move. Soon this disease will affect his lungs and heart. So Skylar's life expectancy is only 3-5 years. I was shocked to hear this adorable toddler had only a few more years to live. I asked her what she could do. And her answer was, "When you know your child only has a few more months or years to live, you focus on bringing happiness to every moment he has left. That is why I brought him to visit you. You have given Skylar an extra hour of joy that his short life would have otherwise been without."
Skylar loves to play in Children's Hospital's playroom, which donors help fund. His family cannot afford their regular hospital stays since Skylar is in the hospital more than he is home. Donations from generous people make it possible for him to get the treatment he needs. We recently heard of new hope for improved treatments that could enable Skylar to live into his teens and beyond.
I met babies who had near-death experiences and watched their doctors bring them back from what they call a "code blue." One of my little friends, only 4 months old, had 16 compressions before her heart could beat on its own again. I just visited Chaya and her mother last month, still recovering in Intensive Care. I was there simply for a follow-up checkup, and it was hard for me to imagine that they had been living at Children's Hospital during these past seven months.
My surgery and recovery were amazing. While we have wonderful hospitals in the Lehigh Valley, when the doctors at Lehigh Valley found my brain tumor, they knew they had to send me to the Cancer Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. We are very fortunate to live in an area so close to Children's Hospital. It is ranked by Child Magazine as the #1children's hospital in the country. I received the most advanced medical care in the world. Today I feel great and am so appreciative of the outstanding care I received from the neurosurgeon, neurologists, physical therapists and many others who have helped heal me. Because I've been so fortunate, my goal is to become a pediatric neurosurgeon.

Two men have been killed after a Nissan pickup truck slammed into a bus stop near 67th Avenue and Indian School Road Tuesday morning.A third pedestrian, a 36-year-old male, was rushed to an area trauma center with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to be ok.Phoenix Police Sgt. Trent Crump says the truck's driver was heading the wrong way. The pedestrians were in the process of boarding the bus, which was parked at the time."The vehicle crossed the center line and literally went between that bus and that bus stop bench, striking the pedestrians who were loading on that bus," said Crump.
Anthony Johnson was already on the bus when the crash occurred.
"We don't know where the truck came from... I was in shock, everybody else who was off the bus ran and tried to help. It just came out of nowhere and just hit the poor guy. He was going to work," said Johnson.
The truck's driver involved in the crash was also transported to a hospital. He sustained a minor injury.Crump added, "There was some indication that he was under the influence. He has admitted some drug use to our officers from last night so we are investigating that as for being the cause of why the driver crossed the center line."The driver of the truck, Raymond J. Barela, was booked into the Maricopa County Jail for two counts of manslaughter, one count of aggravated assault, and one count of aggravated DUI because his driving privilege was suspended.
Of the fatalities, only one has been identified. That victim is 47-year-old Jesus Antonio Martinez Chavez. Police have not been able to locate the next-of-kin for the second victim, a 42-year-old male, who died during surgery.

Finishing Well (Part 2)
This devotional was written by Leslie Synder
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.—2 Timothy 4:7
One hundred years ago, April 14, 1912, was the day the ocean liner Titanic sank. It was a day of senseless tragedy, pain, and unbearable suffering. However, in the midst of the chaos, the following story of incredible courage emerged.
Under the direction of bandmaster Wallace Hartley, the music was cheerful. Although the ship was severely damaged and had begun to sink, the band played music to soothe the frenzied passengers. The selections were mostly ragtime and gave the impression to the passengers on deck that all was under control and there was no need to panic.
At 2:00 A.M. the last boat, Collapsible D, left the ship. It was now 2:05 A.M. and more than 1,500 people were still aboard. The band continued to play. Finally, as the ship sank, the deck became so steep that bandmaster Hartley released the musicians from duty. Alone, he began the first notes of a simple hymn. One by one the bandsmen, choosing not to leave, joined in. It was the last song the band would play and the last song survivors heard before the ship broke into two pieces. Minutes later, the entire band was washed away by a sudden wave.
Faithfulness. You cannot finish well without it. Scripture is full of accounts of those who followed God in faith, not knowing where He would lead. Other accounts tell of those who courageously followed Jesus to their own deaths. Hebrews 11 records just a few of the many faithful men and women whose lives continue to encourage us today. Verse 38, although short, stands out with distinction as it describes these faithful believers. It reads, "the world was not worthy of them." We can only hope the same will be said of us at the end of our lives.
Hartley's story concludes this way. On May 18, 1912, the body of bandmaster Wallace Hartley was laid to rest in what some called "pageantry beyond belief." 30,000 mourners packed the streets of Hartley's hometown. Seven bands played as his casket was carried throughout the streets. Musicians, aldermen, police, clergy, miners, and the curious were all there to pay their respects to this Titanic hero. The world came to thank Hartley for his courage and for the courage of the other band members' willingness to stay on deck and play, even while Titanic was taking her last dive. Their courage and bravery was not in vain. The world that day said, "thank you."*
1. How does your life reflect faithfulness to Christ?
2. What in your life would need to change for you to become a more faithful follower of Jesus?
