Edgewood man faces federal charges after allegedly threatening casinosCEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa An Edgewood man is facing federal charges after he allegedly threatened northeast Iowa casinos by letter and telephone. According to a complaint filed against him Friday in U-S District Court in Cedar Rapids, Greg Johnson admitted his threats to a postal inspector during a raid at his parents home, where he was also living. According to an affidavit with the case, Johnson told U-S Postal Inspector Kevin Marshall that he wrote and mailed threatening letters and telephoned bomb threats to the Isle of Capri Casino in Marquette and the Diamond Jo Casino in Dubuque. According to the affidavit, Johnson mailed the letters and called in the bomb threats because he saw them as justice for what the casinos did to him. Johnson had been barred from both casinos for disorderly conduct.For the Love of Jesus - A Biblical ReflectionMany contemporary Christians reduce the essence of Christianity to the supposed love ethic of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount [Matthew 5 - 7]. It is suggested that the essence of Christianity is merely to love everyone else and the love that seems to be cited as Christian love, the love Jesus taught, is contextualized as being by the speaker a love without any real responsibility or accountability, a love with no demands or sacrifices asked, a love that does not seek to transform but merely validate and confirm whatever already is, whether or not that the "whatever already is" is healthy and wholesome or is disordered, self-destructive, aberrant, and perhaps even self-centered, ego-driven. It seems that those who advocate such a reductionist view of the Christian faith, its core personality, and its teachings also suggest that love and respect for another person cannot also entail pointing up ethical error, dysfunctional behaviour, or misguided attempts to find real love and acceptance.Img9 and MyMillionDollarCity host images and documents for freeForget hosting fees and the hassle wit FTP: now you can get your data online — for free, with no registration, and at the very heart of the Internet "city".Img9 is a free service that allows users to host images and documents online.

Man killed in collision with van on Interstate 95 Investigators working on accident reconstructionTOWNSHIP 2, RANGE 9 - An unidentified man in his 60s was killed Monday in a collision on Interstate 95 that closed one half-mile lane of traffic for almost six hours and backed up traffic for 45 minutes. The man was driving a small, dark-colored Toyota pickup truck south on I-95 just past mile marker 236 approaching Chester and Lincoln when his pickup was struck from behind by a passing gray Kia Sedona van at about 11 a.m., State Trooper Matthew Grant said. Both vehicles went into long skids as their drivers fought for control. The van stopped just inside the left median, leaving a thick left-wheel track in the soil. The pickup veered off the road more sharply to the right. It flew down a short, steep embankment and punched a 10-foot-wide hole into a thick grove of pine trees before coming to rest.HUTCHINSON PROBES KAWASAKI PROBLEMSTT rider Ian Hutchinson is turning detective in an effort to cure the mystery problems afflicting his McAdoo Kawasaki machines.The 26-year-old is counted among the new breed of riders expected to bring pressure to bear upon HM Plant Honda rider John McGuinness at this year's festival. But though Hutchinson is pleased with his practice times atop the 600cc ZX-6R Supersport bike, his preparations for the Superstock and Superbike races have been plagued by set-up problems afflicting the 1000cc ZX-10R machines. And after a third-place finish in yesterday's Superbike race, the Bingley-based rider confirmed a rear wheel problem had almost forced his retirement. Heading into tomorrow's Superstock race Hutchinson told PA Sport: "It's all been going fairly well on the Supersport bike, but it's the big bikes which are causing me problems.
NETWORKED OPERATIONSThe incorporation of Tail Winds in the Isle of Man, an offshore haven between Great Britain and Ireland, is in line with strategies used by many corporates to leverage advantages given by such tax protectorates. Besides potential tax benefits, the Isle of Man offers the attraction of confidentiality, and the relatively innocuous corporate disclosure norms. Naresh Goyal holds 9,995 shares as a nominee of Tail Winds in Jet Airways. But then, Goyal fully holds Tail Winds Limited. Tail Winds Limited is a company incorporated in the Isle of Man (Company No.56352c), with a paid-up capital if US$ 20 million in 1994. Besides Goyal, the Board of Directors as on November 30, 2004, consisted of Peter Lal, a Singaporean business consultant, Ali Ghandour, a Jordanian international aviation consultant, Jehangir Rustam Gagrat, an Indian solicitor and Victoriano Posadas Dungca, an American business consultant.
