looked like more theater, and a live video feed continued to roll, albeit filmed at a distance and without audio. But then Moon and Kim shooed away the gaggle of close-up photographers, one of whom, from the North Korean pool, looked like he really did not want to leave them alone. They created a moment of direct dialogue, in view of the world yet out of earshot. Just the two Korean leaders, speaking their shared native language, nothing lost in translation.

They sat there for half an hour, talking, listening. Their body language was serious, animated, spontaneous, intense. What did they discuss? Whatever it was probably can’t be found in the joint declaration, which was released to reporters too soon after they finished their chat. One can surmise thatMoon conveyed the gist of what he learned from the tête-à-tête to President Trump during their 75 minute phone call after the summit. Perhaps this is also when Moon brought up Japan and received a message to pass on to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. At this opening stage, the authenticity of the dialogue may be as important as any specific position relayed or message passed. Given the risks involved in making peace on the Korean Peninsula, Kim and Moon—and next, Trump—will need to have the confidence they can work with one another.

A Peace of Paper

The official business of the day concluded with another unconventional move by North Korean standards, when Kim and Moon strode out to podiums set up on the steps of the Peace House and delivered


Here is another topic where the Kim and Moon teams can move quickly to an implementation stage based on agreements reached at the last summit in 2007.

In the third and final section, the Declaration widens out to the larger project of building a “permanent peace regime” in place of the “current unnatural state of armistice.” On the basis of their 1992 Non-Aggression Agreement, North and South agree to phased disarmament—here the language sounds tentative. But specificity returns in announcing a new initiative: Kim and Moon agreed to establish peace talks including the United States—and perhaps China as well. Trilateral talks at the official level to “declare an end to the War” would be unprecedented.

On to the Next Peak

Saving the most anticipated for last, the third section concludes withpoint four: “South and North Korea confirmed the common goal of realizing, through complete denuclearization, a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.” Interestingly, no explicit mention of the United States appears, except as a member of “the international community” whose support and cooperation is sought. But the unspoken subtext of point four is the fact that Trump and Kim are finalizing plans to hold a summit of their own, and that Trump is on record as wanting to resolve the long-running nuclear dilemma in a way that is good not only for the United States, but also for North Korea. Kim Jong Un signed his name to a document committing him to the goal of complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula—a document that was reprinted the next day in the Korean


Workers’ Party newspaper and read aloud on North Korean television news.

The Blue House later quoted Kim as saying, “If we maintain frequent meetings and build trust with the United States and receive promises for an end to the war and a non-aggression treaty, then why would we need to live in difficulty by keeping our nuclear weapons?” On the one hand, Kim is repackaging the standard North Korean position that their nukes are simply a deterrent against the “hostile policy and nuclear threat” posed by the United States. But Kim also hints at what he wants—a normalization process (frequent meetings and building trust) and security guarantees (ending the war and a non-aggression treaty) that allow him to pursue his ultimate goal of economic development (no longer living inKurdish areas under opposition control in northern and northeastern Syria are drafting an electoral law ahead of a vote for a regional assembly at the end of May.

The Democratic Union Party (PYD) announced in January that an electoral body was already operating in the de facto Kurdish autonomous region which covers three provinces.

The mostly Kurdish town of Amuda, in the northeastern Hasakah governorate, is the region’s temporary capital and is under the total control of the PYD, the main Kurdish party inside Syria.

The PYD earlier announced the formation of an interim assembly or “legislative council” consisting of 100 members, which has since drafted a document to be used as a constitution for the autonomous region.

In another initiative, this interim council issued an amnesty at the end of January


Syriac Union.

Municipal bodies which the PYD has set up in major towns will perform the work of provincial councils until the local administration ministry finishes drafting a law outlining responsibilities.

The make-up of local councils will be decided by secret ballot once elections for the legislative council have taken place.

Improving living conditions is seen as one of the greatest challenges facing local councils and the Kurdish government of the autonomous region.

Months after the autonomous region was declared and a government formed, there has only been gradual progress.

Residents of Kurdish towns have suffered severe power shortages, and Eldar Khalil, a member of the Social Democratic Movement, an ally of the PYD, says there have been attempts to coordinate with Damascus and the Turkish power ministry to provide some electricity toChallenges

a large Cash & Carry company in Europe, owned by Transgourmet Holding, a wholly owned subsidiary of Coop (Switzerland). Selgros Cash & Carry Romania is one of the most important players in Romanian retail owning 21 stores. They aim to serve quality and freshness to their customers. Having thousands of partners, hundreds of thousands of customers and strong communities they take part in, Selgros is scrutinizing the future to be always useful and trustworthy. In 2011, Selgros joined Transgourmet Holding AG, the second largest B2B and food service network in Europe, with operations in seven European countries (Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Romania and Russia). The takeover of the network by Transgourmet confirms Selgros' growing attention to the gastro market and highlights the defining qualities of the company:No,no...Listen...He said that if they dug his father's body up, it would be gone.

"We're giving people plenty of notice and we're providing financial support for quit programs and other courses. I'm prepared to consider providing support to employees' spouses if that assists them in giving up, too.

news clippings about Iron Man helping to bring peace in the Middle East and how he's Time's Person of the Year. But the movie never really SHOWS us the ways in which Tony Stark's involvement in geo-politics has transformed the global landscape.

I'm not asking for a 15-minute montage, or anything. But seeing the suit in action in a few different locations would have added some texture and made the plot point revolving around Garry Shandling's Senator who wants the Iron Man technology turned over to the government a little more meaningful.

That's probably the biggest thing the movie gets wrong. The biggest thing the movie gets RIGHT is it's depiction of Tony's ego and how it gets in the way of his genius.

Iron Man has always had a veryin place but with that said he was great in the role as Rhodey and hope that he will be in the 3rd movie. I kind of wished that he would have shown a little more inexperience after stepping into the war machine because Tony struggled with the suit as he was developing it in the first one. Other than a few clumsy moves it appeared as if Rhodey had previously used the suit. the plot was good but I think a few spots could have explored a little more but who knows maybe they did and it ended up on the cutting room floor. Overall all I thought it was good and jsut like you Tom, i don’t go out to the movies often but I would

loved the language and the scope, but was left puzzled by the messages seemingly encoded in the themes and the plot. And the comments were almost equally divided, with no one seeming to be particularly swayed by anyone else’s observations and thoughts. Books we can talk about for hours are good, but when it comes to the Printz, consensus is key and a book this divisive often falls by the wayside. Will that be the fate of Brides?

The Raven Boys is a delicious fantasy and first in a series. And the same goes for The Diviners. Do either of them have what it takes to place despite the series issue? And the genre issue? Or are these heart books that will fall off the list as soon asMain menu

Star Trek’s Tragic Hybrids

All die-hard Star Trek fans have a memory of the first time their mind was blown by something in the franchise. Perhaps it was bearing witness to the first interracial kiss on television, or seeing an actor of your race or gender in a position of authority. Maybe it was a particularly moving and timely monologue, or the realization that modern technology is catching up to science fiction.

For me, one of those moments was seeing characters of mixed race portrayed for the first time, characters whose mixed backgrounds were very much a part of their identities. As a person of mixed race myself (my father is Caucasian American and my mother is Filipino), this was comforting at first. However, as I grew older and

family in Riverton, Wyoming, for many years until 1950, when she went to Anchorage, Alaska, to work as a "cafe operator". In October 1951, she returned to Riverton, and on January 25, 1952, purchased the automobile in question. In March 1952, she returned to Alaska, and on the following September 11th was involved in an accident, resulting in suits for personal injury and property damage by the appellants here. Appellee insurance company denied liability and refused to defend the suits, contending that since the automobile was not being "principally garaged" in Riverton as represented, the policy was thereby voided. Judgments were subsequently rendered against the insured in Alaska in favor of appellant Sandahl for the sum of $17,278.35 for personal injuries, and for appellant Cab Company in theAngel Di Maria, Manchester United

Former Barcelona coach Carles Rexach claims Real Madrid sold Angel Di Maria to Manchester United because he was 'too ugly' to play for them.

Di Maria joined United from Real for £59.7m in the summer after helping Carlo Ancelotti’s side to win the Champions League but Rexach has made the bizarre claim that the real reason he was sold was because he didn't fit in with the Galacticos' pretty boy image.

Rexach, who played for Barcelona and coached the side in 2001, says Madrid president Florentino Perez is trying to sell an 'international brand' and that includes having good looking players in their squad.

Rexach told Spanish media outlet Regio7: "Florentino Perez looks at the world market and wants a team of Galacticos for everyone to admire.


Do you understand what I mean?"

"Vicente del Bosque and Di Maria are too ugly for Real Madrid. They are different from Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez." Carles Rexach

"Ronaldo is the flagship of the club. Perez is selling an international brand. Vicente del Bosque and Di Maria are too ugly for Real Madrid. They are different from Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez."

Rexach, who is tipped for a role as a director in a shake-up taking place at the Nou Camp, has a track record of making bizarre claims after also saying that the real reason Lionel Messi wasn't at his best for Barcelona last season was because he 'ate more pizza than he should have'.

Di Maria, who spent four years at Madrid, has struggled to find his top format United and was substituted at half time of United's 2-0 win against Sunderland on Saturday.

The Argentine winger's ability to settle into life in England has also been badly hit after his family were forced to move out of their Cheshire home when they were the victims of an attempted robbery in January.

if Jennifer Camp, the complainant’s classroom teacher, knew.  The complainant replied that she had already spoken to Camp.  Then Amos asked the complainant if she had spoken with the counselor, Wanda Campbell
.  The complainant replied that she had spoken with the counselor and that CPS was involved.

The record shows that CPS had received a referral from the complainant’s school, and the police received it on December 5, 2006.  Also on December 5, the complainant’s mother went to the police department to discuss the accusation.  The following day, CPS personnel told Appellant to move out of the house, and he left that day.  He never moved back in.

The complainant also explained to Amos that she had gone to the doctor at Cook Children’s Hospital, that she had had tolie on a table, and that the doctor had had to go between her legs.  The examination took place on December 12, 2006.  Amos said, in response to the prosecutor’s question, that when the complainant was discussing the movies, she told Amos that Appellant had made her do those nasty things to him when her mom was not at home.  Amos said the complainant was upset because her brothers were upset and because she could not tell anyone about what had happened—Appellant had told her that he would hurt her and her family if she told.

The circumstances in which the complainant told her story, as provided in the record, in no way indicate that she had lost "the capacity for reflection necessary to the fabrication of a falsehood."

about December 5, 2006, and that all the indecency counts occurred on or about December 1, 2006.  The complainant testified to repeated sexual acts against her and explained that they happened almost every day that her mom went to work.  She also testified that Appellant placed his penis in her mouth every time he “messed with” her.  She had to hold his penis with her hand or hands while it was in her mouth.  The complainant testified that Appellant penetrated her female sexual organ with his finger and touched her genitals and anus with his penis.  He continued to sexually assault her until the day before CPS came to her house.

Although Camp and Amos mentioned touching, they were indefinite about what Appellant touched the complainant with and reportedof any such individual or entity.
GM filed motions in opposition to the motion for class certification.
On April 22, 1993, GM reurged its declinatory and dilatory exceptions in response to the third amending and supplemental petition. GM also added a dilatory exception pleading the objection of improper cumulation of actions.
*483 On April 29, 1993, White plaintiffs filed a fourth amending and supplemental petition which reiterated the allegations contained in the previous petitions, and added allegations that venue was proper in Iberville Parish. Thereafter, GM reurged its declinatory and dilatory exceptions in response to the fourth amending and supplemental petition.
On May 17, 1993, the trial court rendered judgment, ordering that a class action be certified and that Notice of Certification of this class action be disseminated. In its written reasons


an Agreement of Settlement, dated June 26, 1996, had been reached between GM and White plaintiffs. The Agreement of Settlement is attached to this opinion as Appendix A.
At this hearing, the White plaintiffs filed a fifth amended and supplemental petition, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated.[5] This petition filed was brought on behalf of the following class:
All Consumers, Fleets and Governmental Entities who are residents of the United States and who purchased in the United States and are owners as of 12:01 AM, July 4, 1996, of any of the following GM PICKUP TRUCKS:

These include the following models: Chevrolet C10, C20, C30, K10, K20, K30adequate notice of the pending class action and do not timely exercise the option of exclusion from the class action.
The class action originated in eighteenth century English equity courts, as an exception to the rule that joinder of all interested parties was necessary to obtain complete justice. In the United States, the class action procedure was available only in equity until 1938 when the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were enacted. Original Rule 23 recognized the "true" class action, which concluded the rights of all class members, whether named in the suit or not; the "hybrid" class action, in which class members made separate claims against a common fund or property; and the "spurious" class action, in which the members of the class made separate claims involving common


settlement approval. Because this process is removed from the normal, adversarial, litigation mode, the class is certified for settlement purposes only, not for litigation. Sometimes, as here, the parties reach a settlement while the case is in litigation posture, only then moving the court, with the defendants' stipulation as to the class's compliance with the Rule 23 requisites, for class certification and settlement approval. In any event, the court disseminates notice of the proposed settlement and fairness hearing at the same time it notifies class members of the pendency of class action determination. Only when the settlement is about to be finally approved does the court formally certify the class, thus binding the interests of its members by the settlement.

The main company contracted by the government to provide courtroom interpreting has pledged to honour bookings made by a sub-contractor which appears to be no longer in business.

Leeds-headquartered thebigword, which was awarded a Ministry of Justice contract in 2016, told the Gazette that Bolton-based Debonair Languages 'ceased operations' on 5 August.

Thebigword has agreed to honour bookings taking place on or after 5 August. For any bookings fulfilled by Debonair Languages before 5 August, thebigword remains responsible to pay Debonair for them. Debonair is responsible for paying its linguists.

A spokesperson for thebigword said: 'Debonair Languages ceased operations on Monday 5th August. Thebigword has put in measures to support linguists that had been working with Debonair and, where possible, welcome them to the other roles in thebigword community.'

The Gazette hasthe National Register of Public Service Interpreters and Chartered Institute of Linguistics, where anyone who requires my services can find me. Clients can reach out to linguists directly that way, without any involvement of third parties. However, unfortunately, the Ministry of Justice decided to stop doing that back in 2011.'

Before 2012, the Ministry of Justice booked courtroom interpreters directly from the national register through court staff. In 2012, a framework agreement under which courts and justice agencies obtain interpreters and translators through a single agency aroused fierce controversy.

Comments (0)After watching firefighters battle a blaze on his street, Tom Brady told a radio station, "You realize who the real heroes are in this world." (Getty Images)

His wife told him she thought there was a fire further down Beacon Street. He went to the front of his house and, yes, he could see some color and smoke. He returned to his bedroom, then went out front again two minutes later, just to check, and the color and smoke had become a blaze. The fire trucks were coming from everywhere; there would be nine alarms in all, and the winds would continue to blow off the Charles River at 35-40 miles per hour on a stormy afternoon, and the water from the hoses would freeze on


the neighborhood trees, and a Wednesday in Boston would become incredibly sad.

Two firemen would die from the flames and heat in the basement of that house. Thirteen other first responders would be taken to area hospitals with burns and other injuries. Tom Brady would watch much of it unfold.

"I had gone to the back of the house, from my deck, and could see kind of what they were up against," the New England Patriots quarterback said on Thursday morning on the Dennis and Callahan radio show on WEEI, where he is an occasional contributor. "At that point all the fire engines were coming down the street. I was watching for, obviously, a long time. At one point I saw a pretty big explosion of flames, and a lotof the firemen were coming out of the building. That's when I got really nervous. I felt so badly for them."

The wind made the flames rush through the house. One fireman said it was the fastest-moving fire he had seen in 30 years on the job. The direction and force of the wind into the firemen's faces on Beacon Street made the water from their hoses blow back onto them instead of onto the four-story brownstone house. They were forced to fight the fire from the other side of the house, crammed into a back alley which itself is crammed beside a highway next to the river. It was a tough, tough situation.

Brady was humbled by what he saw.

"Our lives were never in jeopardy at all thanks to


died were 43-year-old Fire Lieutenant Edward J. Walsh and 33-year-old Michael R. Kennedy. Walsh was the father of three kids, all under the age of 10. Kennedy, single, was a Marine Corps veteran, six years a fireman, a motorcycle guy, a free spirit. They were among the first responders on the scene and went straight to the basement, where they were trapped when a first floor window exploded, creating a backdraft.

They died doing what firemen and policemen do. They opened a door and walked into the unknown. They did it so the rest of us don't have to.

"We as athletes think that we're heroes," Brady said, "but when you witness firsthand what I saw yesterday, you realize who the real heroes are in this world. And that's thelives.

Brady said he has passed that station a thousand times since he has lived on Beacon Street. No doubt he will never pass it again without thinking about the things he saw on Wednesday. He is a terrific football player, with 14 years on the job, and has been well-rewarded for every success he has had. There is nothing wrong with calling him a hero, because he does a lot of things that a lot of people would like very much to do. He is just a different hero from the real heroes.

The firemen do not play in games.

"It's just a selfless profession," Tom Brady said. "These men who choose that calling in life, it's just something that's in your heart and soul. And I'm grateful."


a bag. She thereafter picked up six felt pens, placing them between the bag of yarn and her chest. They were not placed in the bag. She continued browsing around looking for other items, but not finding what she was looking for she left the store. After she had traveled approximately 15 feet she decided to return to the store to purchase a knitting needle. As she turned to go back into the store a security lady who had been watching her and had seen her pick up the pens walked up to her, identified herself and asked to examine the contents of the bag. As appellant opened the bag the pens lying between her body and the bag fell to the ground. She immediately told the securityagent that she had forgotten to pay for the pens and offered to do so. She was requested to return to the store where she was interviewed by the District Security Manager. She again offered to pay for the pens but payment was refused and the police was summoned. The police took her to the police station where she was charged with petit larceny and released on her own recognizance. The charge was subsequently dismissed for lack of probable cause.
Appellant filed a two count complaint, alleging first false imprisonment and in the second count malicious prosecution. Following proper procedural steps the final summary judgment here appealed was entered in which the following recitation is found:
"It is undisputed that Plaintiff had purchased an item in Defendant's store, was seen


to take several pens into her possession, placing them between the bag furnished by the store for her purchase and her body, and then left the premises of the Defendant.

The subpoenas issued to the four stockholder-members of FFF requests material relating to the relationships between the stockholder-member, FFF, and the three named brokers. The subpoenas issued to the brokers request material relating to their orders of grocery products for FFF from certain suppliers.
On February 20, 1973, respondents moved to quash the subpoenas. The motions were subsequently denied by the Administrative Law Judge one month later. In dismissing the motions to quash, the Administrative Law Judge ordered respondents to appear before him in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 3, 1973. Each respondent thereupon filed an affidavit stating his intention not to appear on April 3 in compliance with the subpoena. No proceedings were convened on April 3, and on April 16, government counsel filed a


request for enforcement of the subpoenas with the Administrative Law Judge. Respondents were found in default for failure to comply with the subpoenas, and the matter was certified to the FTC for enforcement. The present proceedings were brought pursuant to this alleged default and certification.
Respondents have refused to comply with the present subpoenas on the grounds that they are the product of a prior illegal seizure of FFF's corporate records in August of 1968. Respondents contend that enforcement of the subpoenas would give judicial sanction to the FTC's prior unlawful actions, and request the invocation of the "exclusionary rule" to deny the present petition.
The history of the FTC's allegedly unlawful acquisition of FFF's corporate records commenced in July of 1968, when the FTC caused investigatory subpoenas duces tecumthe following day, on August 7. Again, the respondents moved to quash. This time, the motion was denied before respondents were required to testify, but respondents still refused to do so and were held in default. No further action was taken by the FTC to enforce this second set of subpoenas.
If the purpose of today's proceedings were to enforce the identical subpoenas served upon respondents in July of 1968 (and again in August of 1969), then the court would not hesitate in granting the present petitions, regardless of whether the Commission had previously obtained FFF's corporate records in an illegal fashion. This conclusion would necessarily follow from the lack of any connection between the FTC's alleged prior unlawful behavior and the present subpoenas. But respondents assert the existence


an illegal search and seizure in the sense of an actual physical entry onto respondents' property, we feel that the combination of the Commission's *1058 failure to rule on respondents' motions to quash the July, 1968, subpoenas before their date of return, with the subsequent issuance of a possibly invalid order denying the motions to quash, raises the inference that the Commission may have intentionally perverted the legal discovery processes available to it in order to obtain and examine FFF's corporate records pending respondents' attempts to secure their return. Although it is unclear at this point whether or not the Commission's behavior in 1968 was so egregious as to taint the present subpoenas, we feel that respondents are entitled to conduct discovery against various FTC officials on thisPhone hacking: James Murdoch questioned by MPs - Thursday 10 November

• James Murdoch says wider evidence of phone hacking at News of the World was not given to him by Colin Myler and Tom Crone in May 2008
• Murdoch stated he has never seen the 'for Neville' email
• He described Myler and Crone's testimony as 'misleading'
• Crone has issued a statement describing Murdoch's evidence as 'disingenuous at best', while Myler has said he stands by his account
• Murdoch described Tom Watson MP's line of questioning about the mafia as 'offensive'
• He said the use of an investigator to spy on hacking victims' lawyers was 'appalling'
• Murdoch said he could not rule out closing the Sun were it to be proved that phone hacking took place at the paper

He


will take his seat for what is likely to be a bruising experience at 11am and we will be covering it live.

It will be the stiffest test of the 38-year-old's career – he will be grilled by MPs on apparent discrepancies in evidence he gave on phone hacking when he first appeared before the culture, media and sport select committee in July.

The Guardian's Dan Sabbagh says it is make or break for the heir apparent to his family's media empire – if it is proved that he misled anyone, his chances of taking over News Corporation will be under threat.

The main focus of MPs questioning will be the "for Neville" email that proved phone hacking went beyond one "rogue reporter", a line that News International maintained until late2010.

10.03am: Here's a roundup of what the papers say about Murdoch's appearance before MPs:

The Independent says he is being prepped by Jeremy Sandelson, head of litigation at law firm Clifford Chance for an "assault on credibility".

The Financial Times says Murdoch is fighting for his future. It says he will tell MPs that he "has been serious about improving the ethics of News International and consistent in saying that he was not shown incriminating documents".

The Times says Murdoch will tell MPs he was not aware that phone hacking had spread.

Late, late night playing Portal 2. Early, early morning drafting questions and listening to The Clash on full blast.

10.14am: With me on the live blog this morning and tweeting is my colleague Josh Halliday. Down at Portcullis House at the


select committee is James Robinson, while media editor Dan Sabbagh is on hand for instant analysis as the morning develops.

10.14am: The House of Commons have upped the security this time to ensure there is no repeat of July's foam pie incident when a member of the public tried to attack Rupert Murdoch with a plate of shaving foam.

"No bags are allowed this time, unless you are a member of the press" reports the Guardian's James Robinson from Portcullis House.

It's first-come-first-served and about 30 members of the public and press have assembled for the hearing.

The "for Neville" email was important for two reasons: it was a transcript and evidence, sufficient evidence for the company that the company would lose the case [taken by Gordon Taylor for phone hacking.

The secondTaylor's voicemail messages.

He says that in 2007 the case Gordon Taylor was bringing against News of the World was "so weak it ought to be struck out yet a year later you are settling for £750,000. Did you question why this was the case?"

Murdoch replies:

It was described briefly to me that there was evidence - the transcripts were on behalf of the News of the World; that it was important to close the case;... it was seen more of the end of something that had gone on before rather than the beginning of something

11.59am: Collins asks whether reputational risk to the company was discussed during conversations about the settlement with Taylor.

"I don't recall, other than it was seen as dragging up matters from the past," says Murdoch.

12.01pm: Collins


with Myler taken by Farrer lawyer Julian Pike in May 2008.

Again Murdoch is distancing himself from this alleged meeting.

"This is a second hand conversation about a meeting neither Mr Myler or I can recall."

12.31pm: Who was de facto chief executive before Rebekah Brooks was appointed? asks Farrelly.

"We had an executive group", says Murdoch before agreeing he acted as executive chairman even if he hadn't had the title at the time.

12.32pm: Farrelly says he is perplexed by Murdoch's decision to pay out so much money to Gordon Taylor, particularly as it "substantially" more than the company's own QC had recommended.

"The one thing that shows us and any 10-year-old that the NoW world did not stack up that GT was not a royal or a member of the royal household,"not something that has a place in the way that we operate.

1.02pm: Mensch asks Murdoch to guarantee that the company "publicise every nefarious practice that has happened in this company before the Guardian or others or Newsnight expose it."

1.04pm: Murdoch dodges that question, instead offering a lengthy run through of the company's corporate governance systems.

1.05pm: Watson is now asking about the private investigator Jonathan Rees who worked for News of the World in the past.

Murdoch says he will check the company's records on his arrangements with the company and come back to the committee.

He is asked about other private investigators, John Ross, a Barry Beardall and an Alex Leighton.

Murdoch says he had not heard of John Ross before and says he will come back to Watson on the


details.

1.10pm: Watson now asks him about Operation Tuleta (the Met's inquiry into allegations of allegations of computer hacking) – Murdoch cannot help him here or either.

1.13pm: Watson lands another punch - he says he has information that former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks tried to "smear" him by telling Tony Blair he was "mad" and needed to be taken off the committee's inquiry in 2009.

He reveals that he has had been told by an anonymous source that there was a "diktat" at News of the World "to dig up as much information about the members of the select committee".

The source claimed that Rebekah Brooks had confided to him that she viewed Watson as "absolutely pathological".

The sources added: "She tried to smear you as being mad. She wasinformed of them [the discussion], but in very general terms," says Murdoch.

Farrelly says: "But you were the chairman, were you consulted at all?"

Rebekah Brooks was responsible for this matter, says Murdoch.

"Mrs Brooks did discuss the settlement with Mr Clifford which was a commercial arrangement I think for services for the future, but not in any great detail at all," he adds. "[As] chief executive of the business she could make those decisions."

Paul Farrelly questions why no concerns were raised given that the sum was so large.

Did you not think, "Clifford – he's not a member of the royal family either?" says Farrelly.

Murdoch, who oversees the now defunct News of the World's publisher News International as deputy chief operating officer, told MPs that Crone and Myler had mislead parliament


with their testimony in the summer.

Crone, the former head of legal at the Sunday redtop, said in a written letter to the committee earlier this week that recently published emails appear to show that Murdoch knew about the "for Neville" email in May 2008 – more than two years before he maintains he was told about widespread hacking at the paper.

"After the resignation of [former News of the World editor Andy] Coulson, [former News International chairman Les] Hinton brought Myler in to clean things up and bring newspaper forward," Murdoch told MPs. "If he had known that there was wider spread criminality I think he should have told me."

He later insisted that Myler and Crone did not "discuss elements of widespread criminality" with him in the 2008 meetings.out – including shutting down the UK's largest-selling newspaper.

Asked by Steve Rotherham MP whether he would close the paper if evidence of hacking emerges, Murdoch said: "I don't think we can rule out any corporate reaction to behaviour or wrongdoing."

Rotherham claimed that the words "the Sun" appeared in notes seized from the private investigator Glenn Mulcaire.

It was James Murdoch who reportedly took the decision to close the News of the World when the Milly Dowler claims were made public by the Guardian in July.

Jamie Pyatt became the first Sun journalist to be arrested since allegations of phone hacking and payments to police officers at News International emerged. The home counties editor was arrested on Friday in connection with the investigation payments made to police officers.

In his second evidence


session before the culture, media and sport select committee, Murdoch told MPs that the arrest of Pyatt was a matter of great concern.

He said that the use of private investigators at News International had been all but banned throughout the newspaper group in new corporate guidelines.

Journalists must now seek the permission of both the newspaper editor and the chief executive of News International, Tom Mockridge, before contracting a private investigator.

Earlier this week, the Sun editor Dominic Mohan addressed staff following apparent discontent among the newspaper's senior reporters about the future of the title.

Mohan told journalists at the Sun on Tuesday that Rupert Murdoch was up for the fight for the paper's future.

2.32pm:Mark Lewis, one of the two lawyers who were allegedly tailed as part of a News Internationalcovert surveillance operation, says James Murdoch's apology is not good enough.

He said James Murdoch was "in charge" when the private investigator was trying to dig dirt on him in 2010.

"Those are hollow words," he said, until "we know exactly what people were doing and who's going to take responsibility".

News of the World's private eye Derek Webb covertly followed Lewis and also filmed members of his family – including his teenage daughter – on a shopping trip.

Lewis told Sky News: "There were groans of it being mafia-like, but as far as I'm concerned, as far as my family are concerned, it's very like the mafia. If there were groans, they are probably from the mafia saying 'we're not as bad as that'."

2.46pm:James Murdoch should "fall on his sword," says


Jack Irvine, a former News International executive.

He told Sky News that Murdoch's testimony was proof that he wasn't competent to run the company.

"One of my old Sun colleagues was saying he wished Murdoch had been in charge when he was there so he could stroll in and ask him sign a cheque for £300,000 and not ask what it was for," say Irvine.

"Even if you accept that he didn't know [about the reasons for the £700,000-plus settlement with Gordon Taylor], he should have known.

Irvine added that it was perplexing that Murdoch didn't know whether he was executive chairman or chairman during the period of negotiation with Taylor.

2.56pm: Sun staff feel "threatened and demoralised" by a "witch hunt" being conducted at News International, says a executive at the publishingcompany.

Jack Irvine, former editor of the Scottish Sun and managing director of News International in Scotland said "there seems to be a witch hunt at the Sun run by a former Daily Telegraph executive" who didn't know how tabloids operated.

He said one reporter was confronted after spending £11 or £12 on a drink for a policeman. "He was asked did you give him the money or did you buy him the drink? The reporter turned round and said you don't think a policeman is going to put his career on the line for £11 or £12. That's how ridiculous it has become.

"The Sun boys are feeling very threatened and demoralised by all of this," Irvine told Sky News.

3.13pm:Roy Greenslade has published a blogpost asking "Can you really believe


MP surprised Murdoch by saying he had met NoW reporter Neville Thurlbeck on Thursday morning to discuss what had happened at the News of the World. Thurlbeck told the MP that he had asked Crone about the "for Neville" email and the reporter told him that the lawyer had said he had shown it to the News Corp boss.

• Murdoch said he found Tom Watson MP's line of questioning about the mafia "offensive". Watson then accused the News Corp executive of being "the first mafia boss in history" who did not know what was going on in his organisation

• Murdoch refused to rule out closure of the Sun were it to be proved that phone hacking took place at the paper. He told MPs that it was importantnot to prejudge the outcome of any investigations, but that he was not ruling anything out – including shutting down the UK's biggest-selling newspaper.

James Murdoch survived today's select committee hearing – but not without damage to his reputation. The News Corp heir apparent was consistent in his evidence; he was not tripped up and there can be no suggestion that he misled parliament.

Indeed at times Murdoch – known for a fissile temperament – was extraordinarily cool under fire, conceding even that his company had been too quick to see rival newspapers' reporting of phone hacking as motivated by commercial rivalry rather than legitimate inquiry.

He concludes:

No doubt James Murdoch is sure of his position, but the response from Myler and Crone will now be critical, as their relationship is


at the heart of this "who knew what, when" saga.

Above all, Murdoch had to concede how little he knew about the reasons for the £700,000 Gordon Taylor settlement in 2008 – and even the £1m settlement deal with Max Clifford in 2010. He was, as MP Paul Farrelly repeatedly said, "incurious" about what went on at his company.

Murdoch was aware, for example, that the opinion of a QC had been sought as regards whether to pay out to Taylor, but said he did not read the document – and nor, he added, were the most pertinent parts of it brought to his attention. That, of course, was the legal opinion that said there was "a culture of illegal information access at the News of the World".

Watson tried tosum up the state of affairs with an over-the-top attempt to compare News Corporation to a mafia organisation. No doubt that exchange will be played again and again on news clips in the years to come. But it was not the crucial quote. That came from Damian Collins: "It may not be the mafia, but it was not Management Today."

Not an ideal verdict for a man who is lined up to one day succeed his father as chief executive of the world's most powerful media company, the $29bn News Corporation.

It is regrettable, but I can perfectly understand why James Murdoch felt the need to discredit Colin Myler and myself.

"The simple truth is that he was told by us in 2008 about the damning email and what it meant


in terms of wider News of the World involvement.

"It seems he now accepts he was told of the email, of the fact that it contained transcripts of voicemail interceptions and that those interceptions were authorised by the News of the World.

"Perhaps Mr Murdoch could explain who he thought was doing the authorising at the News of the World?

"At best, his evidence on this matter was disingenuous.

"For the record, I did not 'mislead the committee' about the evidence being confined to a 'single rogue reporter'. If anyone cares to read the full answer I gave to Q1339 during the 2009 evidence to the CMS select committee, they will see that I clearly accepted the 'for Neville' email meant 'that the problem of accessing by our reporters, or complicity ofJames Murdoch was mistaken when he told MPs today that he did not believe News International had, to date, admitted liability for any kind of computer or email hacking.

• James Murdoch has accused the News of the World's former editor Colin Myler and senior lawyer Tom Crone of not telling him about suggestions of wider phone hacking at the newspaper in 2008. Murdoch insisted that the context of the "for Neville" email was withheld from him by Colin Myler and Tom Crone when they discussed the payout to PFA boss Gordon Taylor in June 2008.

• Tom Crone and Colin Myler hit back at James Murdoch, disputing his evidence to the committee. Crone issued a statement saying they both told Murdoch in 2008 about the "for Neville" email, adding:


"At best, his evidence on this matter was disingenuous."

• Tom Watson MP surprised Murdoch by saying he had met NoW reporter Neville Thurlbeck on Thursday morning to discuss what had happened at the News of the World. Thurlbeck told the MP that he had asked Crone about the "for Neville" email and the reporter told him that the lawyer had said he had shown it to the News Corp boss.

• But Thurlbeck subsequently appeared to dispute Watson's account. He said a dossier he had compiled to clear his name would be "good news" for James Murdoch, as it would show that he had been "seriously misled" by senior NoW executives.

• Murdoch said he found Tom Watson MP's line of questioning about the mafia "offensive". Watson then accused theNews Corp executive of being "the first mafia boss in history" who did not know what was going on in his organisation

He told MPs that it was important not to prejudge the outcome of any investigations, but that he was not ruling anything out – including shutting down the UK's biggest-selling newspaper.

Our friends at BricksNFL, which built its popularity — and its considerable wealth — by making games widely available on free TV, turned up the heat on cable operators such as Time Warner, Comcast and Charter during the second half of the 2006 season, when it began showing regular-season games on the NFL Network.

But the 4-year-old network has never carried a game that meant as much as the Packers-Cowboys contest. The game at Texas Stadium in Irving will feature two of the league's marquee franchises battling for the NFC's best record — and the inside track to home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.

Ed Jablonski of Wausau, Wis., blames cable companies such as his own provider, Charter, for making many fans miss the big game. "I'm very upset about this. It's not fair," says the 82-year-old Packers fan. "Why is it that these monopolies can do this to us?"

Tony Minnick, a 40-year-old Cowboys fan from Philadelphia Eagles country in Manheim, Pa., says he plans to switch to DirecTV from Comcast to watch the game. The Cowboys are the league's top national TV draw.

Minnick says the NFLmillion.

Fox officials have declined to comment on the NFL's move to put the Packers-Cowboys game on the league's network.

Fox "is certainly getting the short end of this deal," says Paul Swangard, managing director of the University of Oregon's Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. "If I'm Fox, I'm wondering exactly what I'm paying for" with more than $700 million a year in broadcast-rights fees.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league is determined to use games to help build its network and blames the current controversy on a double standard by cable operators.

For example, Goodell said during a conference call Nov. 20, Comcast gives wide distribution to its own Versus and Golf Channel networks while shunting the NFL Network to a "sports tier" of programming that

Bihar Ruling Alliance in Shambles over Council poll

Congress today announced its candidates on two out of the four seats of Bihar Legislative Council that will see voting on March 9 notwithstanding presence of RJD nominees on both the seats, a decision which indicated widening of rift within the ruling Grand Alliance.

Peeved over denial of a seat out of the four, state Congress chief Ashok Choudhary announced names of two candidates for Gaya Graduates and Gaya Teachers constituencies at a press conference here.

Within Grand Alliance, JD(U) and RJD had distributed two seats each among them with Congress drawing a blank. RJD has 80 MLAs, JD(U) 71 and Congress 27 in the ruling coalition.

One pointed a gun at a 25-year-old city man and tried to rob him, but he retrieved his own gun from his car and pointed it at the robber, city police Lt. Todd Umstead said Friday.

Both robbers fled, but police caught them nearby. They were Randy Howard, 19, of the 300 block of Perry Street, Columbia, and Tyler Harrison, 21, of the 200 block of Walnut Street, Columbia.

Here’s what police say happened:

The 25-year-old was sitting in his vehicle and his 22-year-old girlfriend from Newmanstown was standing outside of the car in the Sears parking lot at around 3:15 p.m.

Howard walked up and asked if he could use the man’s lighter. The man gave Howard


his lighter and Howard walked to the back of the car.

Harrison approached, pointed a handgun at the man and demanded his possessions, Umstead said.

The man, who has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, retrieved it from his car and pointed it at Harrison.

Harrison and Howard then fled on foot. The man started to run after them, but stopped after a few feet and called 911.

And meanwhile, the Berbers were forbidden to use their own language, Tamazight, in their schools or in their institutions, and even, at times, they could be punished for using it among themselves, on the street. Berber culture was officially ignored.

About twenty years ago, news of agitation began to reach the outside world. There were riots in Tizi-Ouzou that were reported in France , but hardly anywhere else in the Western world. In America, of course, we had all been sufficiently subject to ARAMCO propaganda (performed as a "public service" by the big oil companies, as part of their propaganda payoff to the Saudis for allowing them to find, produce, and then pay exorbitantly for the oil that happens to lie under the malevolent sands of "Saudi"


has to be something." And that "something" cannot be, as it is in the advanced West, a collection of ideas or ideals -- as an American might define himself as loyal to the American Constitution, and wishing to defend the political and legal institutions of this country, fortunately fashioned by an inimitable group of geniuses, and fortunately, not yet made complete hash even by those who embody the degradation of the democratic dogma.

Many Frenchmen wrote about the differences they perceived between Arabs and Berbers. French photographers routinely took pictures of Berbers in their Berber dress; the Arabs were much less willing. French military men wrote about the Berbers as "un peuple europeen."

Some Berbers came not to resist their definition as "Arabs" the way some Copts and Maronites haveIslam (they were fooling themselves, because pan-Arabism for Muslim Arabs was never a real alternative to Islam, but merely a temporary goal, a subset, of the goal of a reunified Muslim world).

Not every ill that befell the non-Muslims in the Muslim world, or non-Arabs in the Muslim Arab world, can be attributed to colonial powers. There were French then, during the time of the "presence francaise" that brought schools, hospitals, modern agriculture, and other elements of modern civilization, to North Africa (in Morocco and Tunisia, over about half-a-century; in Algeria, over a 132-year period) who were quite capable of distinguishing Berbers from Arabs, and it was not their pressure that caused some Berbers to forget their own identity, any more than it was France as the guarantor of


the Christians in Lebanon and Syria who caused some to make themselves hyper-Arabs. Aflaq founded the Ba'ath party with two associates not when the French seemed to be there to stay, but when it was clear that they would, in a few years, be leaving.

Aflaq's "Ba'athism" came to dominate only two countries, and for two similar reasons. The first was Syria, with a large Christian population, and with a powerful military caste, the Alawites, who were not regarded as orthodox Muslims, were indeed disliked by orthodox Muslims for the obvious elements of syncretism in their worship (go to an Alawite village and see the pictures of Mary everywhere), Alawites who had been miserable under the Turkish rule but under that of the French formed part of the Troupesspeciales, and were trained to fight, and when the French left, the Alawites remained in the army, and the air force (Hafez al-Assad) and gradually took over, in the way that people or groups always take over in the Muslim Middle East -- through the application, or threat, of military force. In Syria Ba'athism disguises, is the facade, for the rule by the Alawites.

In Iraq , Ba'athism took a different turn. There, the Sunnis knew that they were numerically far inferior to the Shi'a, but they were put in control of modern Iraq , by the British, and never lost their grip.

The Hashemite king, Feisal a Sunni, was put in control of Iraq, and aided throughout the 1920s by British troops, and such British civilians as the celebrated


Gertrude Bell, until finally, the expense of suppressing the tribes, and the obvious hopelessness of it all, caused the British to leave. It was Winston Churchill who described Mesopotamia ( Iraq ) as an "ungrateful volcano." And when the British left, the local Arabs solemnly promised not to harm the local Christians, and five months after the last British troops pulled out, Muslim Arabs killed up to 100,000 largely helpless Assyrians. (William Saroyan wrote a book about it).

Everywhere Muslims spreading Islam are careful to present it as the vehicle for whatever grievance the potential local converts may have. If it is black prisoners in the United States, then Islam is presented as the vehicle both of "social justice" (see how Muslim ruling classes everywhere seize the national wealth,low level, was simply the accumulated intellectual capital of those peoples whom they conquered, and slowly leached of life, and of property as well. Now North Africa and the Middle East are virtually without the non-Muslims who once provided a certain supply of Jizyah, and what sustains the Arabs and Muslims are two things, and only two things; the new disguised Jizyah of Western foreign aid (which should be ended, and used to meet the new expenses of monitoring Muslim populations in the West), and the manna of oil wealth, entirely undeserved, and the only conceivable way that the Arabs and Muslims might acquire great wealth – through an accident of geology. Are the peoples of black Africa misled into thinking that they, too, somehow share in that


wealth?

There was a very large and intelligent, because it focused on small-scale, doable projects, aid effort by Israel in black Africa . It was the most successful of all such foreign aid efforts. It was widespread. It was widely welcomed. But it came to an end, after the Six-Day War, under Arab pressure, and bribery – the same bribery that caused several dozen African states, under Arab command, to break diplomatic relations with Israel . Some of those African states no doubt thought that the Arabs would share just a little of that vast unearned wealth – if only to replace what Israel, a tiny country, had so remarkably provided. It was not to be. It will never be. The Arabs are trying in Africa to dominate theContinent. They are patient. They are methodical. In West Africa, where Islam is already dominant, as in uranium-rich Niger , they have transformed the easygoing, syncretistic practice of Islam to something much more akin to what can be seen in Saudi Arabia . And everywhere mosques are becoming subject to the strictures of those who pay for them, or pay the imams – and that usually means the Saudis. In some countries that once had a clear Christian majority, such as the Ivory Coast, the Christians are feeling besieged by Muslims who come in from the north, and the French government under Chirac supported not the local black Christians, and understood their fear, but rather attempted to appease the world’s Muslims.

In East Africa, when the black Africans rose


up against their Arab masters in Zanzibar and Pemba some decades ago (the slave trade by the Arabs in East Africa had been centered there – indeed, the Sultan of Muscat and Oman had for a time ruled directly from Zanzibar), little was made of this in the West. No one discussed the long history of the Arab slave trade, with its practice of castrating black children when they were first caught, and then taking them by slave coffle or dhow to the slave markets of Islam, a trip which about 10% survived (see “The Hideous Trade” by Jan Hogedorn). And so the Arabs have continued their march southward. The Sudan had very few Arabs in the southern part one hundred years ago. But steadily they have takenbe selected as the position from which the points are taken. Using the individual datum points so located, the position of the wheel is determined and an indication of the wheel position relative to a desired position is given to an operator. Thereafter the wheel position may be adjusted based on the indication, in order to bring the wheel into alignment with the desired position.
For a more complete understanding of the invention and its many objects and advantages, reference may be had to the following specification and to the accompanying drawings.


Périgord is a region which concentrates the highest number of paleolithic sites.More than 50 caves and rock shelters, traces of settlement, burial places have been discovered in the region.
It is a real cradle of European civilization.
The place has benefited from exceptional geological conditions, as much for the number of caves and natural shelters as for calcareous formations which provided the artistic expression of prehistoric men with an ideal medium.
The most ancient traces of human settlement are reckoned to be 400,000 years old.

Les Eyzies-de-Tayac : A crossroads of prehistory.An ideal starting point for your journey, Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, on the Dordogne River, is at the heart of an incredible number of prehistoric sites. Within a few miles radius, you can visit places whose names make prehistory lovers dream of :shelters were formed.

1 – The birth of a shelter.
The calcareous cliff is composed of several more or less soft strata... an overdeepening forms at the level of the soft stratum.

2- Hollowing out.
Under the effects of frost and thaw, the rock breaks up and the shelter gets hollower and hollower... Then men can take advantage of this natural shelter and set up a camp.

3 – The collapse.
The rock forming the roof of the shelter collapses under its own weight... thus the sedimentary deposits and traces of human presence are naturally protected

A selection of rock shelters to visit :
The area around Les Eyzies-de-Tayac is rich in rock shelters. From an educational point of view, all the sites are not equally accessible.
For a family outing, Hominides.com recommends L'Abri Pataud, easily accessible,


well-documented and explained, and with a small museum which brings out the various remains found on the site.
In the same category, but less « explicit », Laugerie Basse will, however, allow the younger to enter an « open-air » cave and take an interest in prehistory.
Reserved for informed prehistory lovers, the visit of Laugerie Haute with a lecturer is a fascinating experience which makes it possible to visualize the stratigraphy from -24,000 down to -16.000 years.
In the Cap Blanc shelter, open again to the public, you will discover a sculpture, more than 30 ft long, composed of horses and bisons.

Decorated caves.How the caves were formed.
Rich in limestone, the subsoil of Périgord has also permitted many caves to form.
Limestone, naturally fissured, is run through by streams that, flowing down,Communi-cation, the symposium "Lascaux and Preservation Issues in Subter-ranean Environments" was held in Paris on February 26 and 27, 2009 under the chairmanship of Jean Clottes. It brought together nearly three hundred participants from seventeen countries with the goal of confronting research and interventions conducted in Lascaux Cave since 2001 with the experiences gained in other countries in the domain of preservation in subterranean environments. Twelve presentations addressed questions related to disciplines such as hydrogeology, climatology and microbiology in relation to the protection and valorization of decorated caves. The talks were followed by debates allowing the experts and all other participants to freely express themselves. This volume, which constitutes the proceedings of this symposium, is composed of the studies presented during the sessions and full trans-criptions of the


debates. It provides both a synthesis of the conservation activities realized at Lascaux between 2001 and 2009 and the state of research and the conditions of the cave as of 2009.
Seventy-four specialists of fields as varied at biology, biochemistry, botany, hydrology, climatology, geology, fluid mechanics, archaeology, anthropology, restoration and conservation, from numerous countries (France, United States, Portugal, Spain, Japan, Australia, Germany, South Africa, New Zealand...) contributed to the realization of this exceptional publication.

This book describes the most significant and unusual aspects of prehistoric times in Périgord. Man has been living here for 500 000 years. Of course, the appearance of the earliest humans in Africa is five times older but it was in Périgord that Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon Man developed in the most spectacular way. It was alsoin Périgord that the first archaeological digs were carried out. For the past two centuries, the research has continued and there have been a number of exceptional discoveries, especially in the mysterious caves. With hundreds of settlement sites, more than fifty decorated caves and rock-shelters and dozens of dolmens, the region is now internationally famous. In fact, Unesco has included the caves in the Vézère Valley in its World Heritage list.

The decorated Ice Age caves are some of mankind's greatest artistic achievements, and there is no substitute for seeing the caves themselves. There you can see the art – paintings, engravings, bas-reliefs or drawings – in its original, natural setting, and stand where the artists did 30,000–10,000 years ago.

     Alastair Reyes and Katherine Flores married in January 2014. They had one

child during the marriage. In December 2014, Reyes filed for divorce, and in

October 2015, Flores filed a counterpetition for divorce.

       In October 2016, Flores’s counsel withdrew. A year later, new counsel

appeared on behalf of Flores, and within six months, the court granted a third

attorney’s motion to substitute as counsel for Flores.

       Reyes moved to compel discovery. Neither Flores nor her counsel appeared,

and the court ordered Flores to respond to interrogatories and requests for

production and ordered her to pay $900 in attorney’s fees. The court later held a

hearing on Reyes’s motion for enforcement and contempt proceedings. Neither

Flores nor her counsel appeared.      2
counties, the exclusive right to receive and disburse child support, and the

exclusive right, in consultation with Flores, to make educational and invasive

medical decisions. The court awarded Flores an expanded standard possession

order. In October 2018, the trial court signed a final divorce, and Flores appealed.

                            Inadequate Representation

      In her sole issue on appeal, Flores argues that her constitutional rights were

violated because she was denied effective assistance of counsel during the

pendency of the divorce. Specifically, she challenges the district court’s decision to

appoint her joint managing conservator of her child but award Reyes


penitentiary.
The facts in this case are as set forth in appellant's brief, to which the State has agreed as constituting a correct statement of the facts.
"Timothy Tate testified that he had bought a .357 Smith & Wesson pistol at Helms' Guns in September 1984. On October 20th, he noticed the gun was missing from its accustomed place under the passenger's seat of his car. At the time, Tate and the appellant were picking up Larry and Sonya Adams, who were going to accompany them to a square dance in Abbeville. He did not see the gun again until Jo Jo Smith, the appellant's brother, gave the gun back to him, about a month later. On cross-examination, the witness admitted that he last saw the gun a few daysbefore the square dance and that during that interval he had been driving the car around Headland and Dothan.
"Lt. Neil Forrester of the Headland Police Department stated that he took a statement from the appellant on November 26, 1984. Lt. Forrester read the following statement into the record: *1313 `I took the gun out of Tim Tate's car on 10-21 of '84. Tim took me home, he in, I got out of the car. I took the gun.'
"According to Lt. Forrester, appellant himself wrote out the statement.
"Jo Jo Smith testified that he found the gun in Tim Tate's car when he was running an errand for Tate. He had put some change between the two front seats and found the gun when he reached down to retrieve the


change from where it had rolled under the passenger's seat. On cross-examination, he denied having told Tate that he found the gun in a black box which belonged to his brother.
"Tim Prescott, who was acquainted with the Smith brothers and the complaining witness, said that the owner of the gun told him on the Sunday before appellant's arrest that he found the gun under the front seat of the car. On cross-examination, Prescott denied having talked over his testimony with the appellant before trial.
"Peggy Smith, the appellant's mother, also remembered Tate telling her that he found the gun under the seat of his car. According to her, he did not withdraw his complaint with the police department for fear of getting in trouble for reporting it stolen whenit had merely been misplaced.
"On rebuttal, Timothy Tate testified that Jo Jo Smith told him he got the gun out of a black box kept at his mother's house. Moreover, he asked Tate to tell the police he found it under the passenger's seat. At that time, Tate told Roger Glass of the Headland Police Department that he had found the gun. He went back later to the police and told them Jo Jo had brought it to him, after Tate conferred with his employer."
The appellant's counsel asserts two matters as error in this cause and asks for this court to reverse this case based on the two matters hereinafter set forth.

I
The appellant's first assignment of error concerns a ruling by the trial court on the court's excusing


one Eva Gunn as a juror because of her inability to read the English language. Record 5 reads as follows:
"THE COURT: All right.
"MR. CRESPI: Your Honor, out of the presence and hearing of the Jury, I would like to go ahead on my motion for the Jury Qualifications
"THE COURT: Are you talking about not speaking, reading the English language?
"MR. CRESPI: Yes, sir.
"THE COURT: All right. Put it in the Record.
"MR. CRESPI: All right. The Defendant reserves an exception to the Court's excusing a Juror Eva Gunn, for her inability to read the English language. The Defendant challenges the constitutionality of the Alabama Jury Qualification Statute that purports to excuse such Jurors from service.

Known for its versatility, the newest Gripen is also being acquired by Czech Republic and Hungary, both members of NATO, with each taking on 14.

Outside of NATO and Europe, Brazil, South Africa, and Thailand have each confirmed their intention to acquire the newest Swedish Gripen. A possible addition to the list of confirmed purchasers of the Gripen is the small southern African nation of Botswana which is looking into purchasing up to eight Gripens to replace the secondhand 1970s-era Northrop F-5s which it purchased from, you guessed it, Canada.

Suspect Charged in Connection with Home Invasion, Shooting

Twenty-nine-year-old Jamie Villarreal was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Elgin. He is charged with first degree murder for his alleged part in a home invasion that killed 30-year-old Michael Kappa of Schaumburg on February 4.

Kappa died when he and several others forced their way into the home of Michael Mason, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. Police earlier charged 34-year-old Jason Middlekauf of Schaumburg with murder for his role in the death.

Mason was the victim of the home invasion, but was subsequently arrested and charged with possession of more than 100 pounds of marijuana.

The company that owns the rights to 1972 pornographic film Deep Throat has taken legal action to block the release of the new movie Lovelace.

The biopic stars Amanda Seyfried and is based on the formative years of adult film actress Linda Lovelace.

Arrow Productions Ltd says the film, due out in the US on Friday, uses more than five minutes of unlicensed footage from Deep Throat.

They also claim the title Lovelace is used "without licence or permission".

Arrow filed a $10m (£6.5m) copyright action at the District Court in Manhattan on Tuesday.

Its legal action said the company "and its partners were surprised to hear about Lovelace because no one had approached Arrow for a licence to use any of Arrow's intellectualproperty".

The action seeks an injunction against the distribution and marketing of Lovelace, an accounting of all profits and revenues from the film, and damages of at least $10m.

The film is scheduled to be released in the UK on 23 August.

Representatives for the defendants - who include Millennium Films Inc, United Entertainment Inc and the film's distributor, The Weinstein Company - did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

First Amendment

Arrow claims it first approached Millennium Films in December 2010.

In a letter dated December 2011, a lawyer for Millennium wrote to Arrow's lawyer saying it was his client's view that Lovelace did not violate Arrow's trademarks and copyrights.

The company cited their First Amendment right to use the name and likeness of Linda Lovelace and depict her in connection with the


film Deep Throat, wrote Millennium lawyer Donald Gordon.

According to US copyright law, some footage from the porn film could be shown under the terms of "fair use". However, determinations are made on a case-by-case basis.

Four factors are typically considered: The purpose of use (commercial or non-commercial); the nature of copyrighted work (factual or creative); the effect of usage on the value of the protected work; and the amount and substantiality of work used.

Lovelace, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, chronicles porn star Lovelace's abusive marriage to Chuck Traynor, played by Peter Sarsgaard, and how she came to work on Deep Throat.

It also explores her relationship with her mother Dorothy, played by Sharon Stone.

Deep Throat,the first "porno" widely seen in cinemas, made an estimated $600m (£382m).

The film drew middle class audiences to the cinema and helped create today's hard-core adult entertainment industry.

Born Linda Boreman, Lovelace became an anti-pornography campaigner in later life.

She died in a car accident in 2002 at the age of 53.

Moses who joined the Blues last season from Wigan had a decent outing with the Blues in his first season, scoring 10 goals in 43 appearances. Martinez had wanted the player on a season long loan to boost his midfield, but Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho reportedly does not consider loaning out as an option.

Chelsea are ready to sell the player though permanently and would want £8m for him, an amount Everton are unlikely to dish out.

The likes of André Schürrle and Marco Van Ginkel brought in this summer, has left question marks in Victor Moses’ future as the fight for the starting line-up is expected to be fierce and having not laid a strong foundation in his first season, Moses will further fall


down the pecking order. It is expected that the 22-year old Nigerian would get limited opportunities as contrary to the previous year and thus would be open to a move out. Amid all these uncertainties concerning his future, a lot of Premier League clubs are keeping a keen eye on him and waiting with their bids.

In other news, Chelsea fans can now breathe easy as reports have emerged that Branislav Ivanović is going nowhere after he has been assured by Mourinho that he still remains a vital member of the squad. The Chelsea star has been a transfer target for Barcelona throughout the summer and the Serbian international has also been said to show some interests in the offers.

But after returning from the pre-season training he had atalk with the manager who then assured him of his role in the side. The 29 year old player stated “We had our first meeting with Mourinho. He looks very impressive and that’s pleasing. With him Chelsea will act as a team, but we will also improve individually. Mourinho is very important for the club and for the fans.”

A source close to the player mentioned that he would be eager to finish his playing career at the London side

"Vicious Attack On Pro-Lifer" May Not Have Been Attack On Pro-Lifer

The Thomas Moore Society is chastising the police department of Kalispell, Montana for not "taking seriously" what the anti-abortion group is declaring a "vicious" attack on a pro-life protester performing a 40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil in front of a local reproductive health clinic.

Organizers say the campaign is supposed to be a peaceful one, but on Thursday night at around 6:15, a homemade incendiary device was thrown at an elderly woman participating in the prayer on North Meridian Drive.

Mary Anne Hofmann says she heard an explosion behind her and turned around to discover a water bottle, that was on fire. No one was injured from the explosion and no one saw


two Kalispell locations, including one aimed at a pro-life prayer vigil.

No one was injured, though the devices — made up of an unknown chemical, a plastic bottle and aluminum foil — did explode.

According to the Kalispell Police Department, the first device was reported by an off-duty officer in front of a department store at Mountain View Plaza at 6:05 p.m. and the second was along Meridian Road at 6:17 p.m.

Kalispell Police Department Lt. Wade Rademacher said detectives still are investigating the reports, but the timing and proximity of the devices appear to point to a sole perpetrator.

“It was the same type of bottle and appeared to have the same types of components,” Rademacher said.

Sen. Ted Kennedy once again electrifies a convention with his oratory.

Peter Costa

On Aug. 12, 1980, I had the privilege to sit in the press section near the podium at the Democratic National Convention in New York City and listen to Sen. Ted Kennedy deliver his concession speech.

Kennedy had lost his bid to be the Democratic presidential nominee to Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan had been chosen as the GOP nominee a few weeks earlier in July. Kennedy’s presidential quest was over and now it was time for him to rally the troops and push the party forward to November.

Kennedy has always been a great orator. In his concession speech, the intonation contours of his sentences rose upward in a powerful crest like a


and Japan after World War II, then surely we can reindustrialize our own nation and revive our inner cities in the 1980s.”

He spoke these lines during the time of “stagflation,” a period in which inflation and unemployment were growing but the economy was stalled. It was also a time of long gas lines and joblessness. It was a period dominated by a feeling of national “malaise,” a phrase attributed to Carter but one which he never actually spoke.

All of which, made Kennedy’s speech of hope and affirmation more appealing.

Twenty-eight years later, Ted Kennedy approached the podium on the opening evening of the Democratic National Convention in Denver to pass the torch to a new generation. In the midst of chemotherapy for a malignant brain tumor, he had goneagainst doctors’ advice to attend and said, “nothing – nothing is going to keep me from this special gathering tonight.”

He walked slowly and with some effort. His shirt collar seemed a bit too large for him, which added to the overall look of someone who was fighting an epic fight. His voice was surprisingly strong and the chance to captivate and electrify the audience was still there and he seized it. He looked to the future and talked about this time being one of hope and change.

He ended with an echo of his famous speech in 1980.

“The work begins anew. The hope rises again. And the dream lives on.”

And once again, the oratorical wave swelled and carried the convention to the shore. Peter Costa is a senior editor
