Report about embattled casino owner released to 2 lawmakers
Before Mount Airy Casino Resort owner Louis DeNaples was awarded a slots license in 2006, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said in a suitability report that he was thoroughly vetted by the board's investigators, who even contacted the state attorney general and FBI.
But the report, released to two state lawmakers last week, failed to mention a crucial piece of information: The attorney general and FBI both refused to provide any criminal information on DeNaples.
The report, used by gaming board members to award slots licenses, also omitted $25,000 in political contributions from DeNaples in 2005 and 2006 when, as a slots applicant, he was barred from giving. Read more

Meet Sunny Knockout.
Bred to be ''chemical free,'' this rose needs no pesticides to naturally resist rust, mildew, blackspot, Japanese beetles and rose midge. Looking good with bright yellow flowers and dark green foliage, Sunny is extremely hardy and can withstand extra cold winters and hot, arid summers. Planted alone, mixed or massed, even as a hedge, Sunny also does well in containers and can bloom in partial shade, emitting a sweet, heady scent.
''It's intensely fragrant, unlike other Knockout roses,'' says Michael Bowell, a garden designer from Chester County who will introduce Sunny and other stellar garden plants Monday in Bethlehem. Read more

Lawmaker says virtual blackjack shouldn't stick
Less than a month after Pennsylvania 's newest slots parlor -- Hollywood Casino at Penn National outside Harrisburg -- opened its doors, four machines have skyrocketed to stardom and become some of the casino's biggest moneymakers.
The machines feature a game many thought wouldn't see the inside of a Pennsylvania casino anytime soon: blackjack. Or, to be more precise, virtual blackjack.
While the traditional card game is banned at Pennsylvania casinos, where table games are forbidden, state gaming regulators have approved its electronic counterpart. Read more
